Mars in Aries, 2028
Mars enters Aries on Sunday 19 March 2028, 19:36 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Taurus on Thursday 27 April 2028, 22:21 UTC, after 39 days.
Here Mars returns to its own sign. The planet crosses from Pisces into Aries at 19:36 UTC on 19 March 2028 and stays for 39 days, leaving for Taurus on 27 April 2028 at 22:21 UTC. No retrograde interrupts the stay. Aries is a cardinal fire sign, and its ruler is Mars itself.
Because Mars rules Aries, astrologers read this as a strong placement: direct, quick to start and short on patience. The themes of the sign are initiative, courage, competition and the first step of anything new. The tradition also notes the shadow side, which is haste and a short temper. One modest suggestion is to start the task you have been putting off, and to pause for a breath before answering anything that irritates you.
