Aries in the houses of the solar return chart
🖤 Aries in the 1st house directly indicates that it will be a very eventful and active year. With this rising sign, or the presence of Aries in the 1st house, the essence of its ruling planet, Mars, propels you to prioritize yourself and be more decisive, staying aligned with what you truly desire. You will move with greater independence throughout the year, driven by a desire to reclaim control of your life and spurred on by the desire to stop trying to please others. You will be more willing to take necessary risks and will have experiences that will reinforce your capacity for spontaneity. The feeling of not doing things or of constant rest can cause frustration, so it's crucial to strike a balance between using your energy on things you see as worthy of your time and giving yourself the chance to recharge that energy.
🖤 As a sign of movement, Aries' presence in the 2nd house serves as an impetus to step outside your comfort zone and shed anything that compromises your true self. The independence inherent in this sign manifests in the pursuit of stability through your own merit, which can lead to new ventures, new jobs, or a new strategy for managing your finances. Being a sign that prioritizes the relationship with oneself, its presence in this house indicates ongoing work throughout the year on self-esteem, as well as seeking to align with values that genuinely connect with you and that have not only been inherited.
🖤 In the 3rd house, whether on the cusp or as an intercepted sign, the essence of Mars will help you communicate more directly and clearly. As mentioned, tact is advisable, as it may reflect frequent arguments and disagreements with those around you, especially if you feel they want you to think a certain way. Aries here activates your mind and may lead you to begin learning about a topic that has piqued your interest. This learning doesn't remain purely theoretical, as being ruled by Mars encourages you to learn through direct practice. The active nature of Mars, by the way, may lead you to take many short and/or solo trips this year.
🖤 With Aries in the IC or 4t house, we see the drive to reconnect with your alone time, making this a year in which you can find great comfort by using your energy and free time on yourself. As another way to achieve greater emotional comfort, being true to yourself and detaching from family expectations may be recurring themes throughout this year. Representing new beginnings, this manifests directly in the area of home, whether it's becoming independent, moving out, starting your own family, and in some cases, it may suggest pregnancy for you or someone close to you. This house is related to emotional bonds, so Aries here can represent established boundaries, especially with your family.
🖤 Seeing it in the 5th house can predict a reconnection with your inner spark, that is, the feeling of enjoyment derived from simply being yourself. Ruled by Mars, it reflects a search for pleasure and personal satisfaction; you'll pay attention to what you truly desire this year and follow paths that lead to having a good time. Its connection to creativity may suggest the start of a creative project and/or immersing yourself in a hobby you're passionate about. As this is also a house of romance, this area of your life may be stirred, and it could even foreshadow the arrival of someone new. As advice, be clear about what you truly seek in a relationship, as flings or fleeting encounters may be common.
🖤 The 6th house is activated and energized by Aries' stay, which can indicate, beyond a large amount of physical and mental energy, the beginning of new habits and activities to use it up. Now, while Aries here shows us this, there's a risk of jumping between projects, hobbies, or habits, as interest is likely to wane; the key is to choose activities that have special meaning and a direct connection to you. As for the work environment, it may become competitive this year (arguments and tension could be likely too), or we may even see the possibility of a new job or position. Taking into consideration the health aspect, headaches, injuries such as scrapes or accidental bumps can be common during this period.
🖤 Regarding relationships with others, Aries in the 7th house will drive you throughout the year to seek out and cherish connections where people are clear about what they want and that respect your individuality and boundaries you set. Therefore, anything that doesn't align with this will only frustrate you and make you walk away from it. Keeping in mind the key word for Aries (beginnings), we can see that this year new people are likely to enter your life, even in some cases, people who move too quickly for your liking (committing too fast, for example). This can also show the start of a serious relationship or one you envision for the long term. It's important to remember this house's connection to legal matters, so if anything leads to legal issues, these can be expedited and facilitated (this is enhanced if Neptune in Aries is not yet in the 7th house).
🖤 When Aries is in the 8th house, it reveals events throughout the year that can lead to a path of personal transformation, often beginning with becoming aware of aspects of yourself that you keep hidden or don't express with the freedom and intensity you'd like. Because these energies possess great inner strength, we see the beginning of reconciliation with your energy and essence by finally accepting and listening to those sides of yourself that were screaming to be taken into account. This can manifest as the decision to let go of relationships or situations to which you felt dependent or that drained much of your energy.
🖤 When we see Aries in the 9th house, we can see a search for truth, beginning with a deep desire for self-knowledge, self-discovery, and the development of independent judgment. You won't want to live in the realm of imagination and "what ifs"; you'll want to experience reality, explore, and dare to embark on journeys and new paths. And yes, long journeys are quite likely with this placement. The association of this house with higher education indicates the probability of starting a master's program, deepening your knowledge in a specific subject, or beginning university life. Impulsiveness can be very common with Aries here, so analysis and careful thought before acting are crucial.
🖤 Aries in the 10th house indicates greater decisiveness and ambition in the professional world, as well as a willingness to move forward, get higher positions, and focus on progress to overcome any feeling of stagnation. Your work life will bring a lot of activity; it can get quite busy and involve many responsibilities and decisions that you will make yourself. If you decide to change course, this year could align you with a profession that truly inspires you. Starting individual projects or entrepreneurial ventures is likely and advisable during this period. Leadership opportunities are likely to come quick given Mars ruling this house. Keep on mind that growth comes at its own pace, so don’t demand excessively from yourself.
🖤 As this house is associated with aspirations, with Aries in the 11th, opportunities will arise to turn your desires into reality. You'll begin to look toward the future, making the necessary decisions to become the person you want to be. In your social life, you're likely to meet new people and allow yourself to let in those who weren't previously part of your circle. At the same time, you may distance yourself from friendships that you feel are holding you back or that don't respond favorably to your progress. You'll tend to prefer working independently, and teamwork may not be very satisfying unless you're given a certain degree of freedom or authority. Its relationship with income + Aries suggests the flow of money and quick incomes.
🖤 Finally, its presence in the 12th house shows us that one of the challenges throughout the year is the tendency to doubt yourself and sabotage yourself because of it. Energy abounds, as does the desire to act, but it is these same insecurities that lead you to suppress the urge to carry out projects or make certain decisions. This repression expands, attempting to force anger and impulses to remain hidden, when, in fact, the key is to move through them and find ways to express them (art and spirituality, being themes of this house, can be of great help in this). It shows the beginning of healing processes or strategies, as well as the courage and strength to confront issues or wounds that have been accumulating in past years.
