Past, the March equinox
Sun in Aries, 2025
Sun enters Aries on Thursday 20 March 2025, 09:01 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Taurus on Saturday 19 April 2025, 19:56 UTC, after 30 days.
This is the March equinox: the Sun crossed from Pisces into Aries on 20 March 2025 at 09:01 UTC, when day and night are close to equal length around the world. In the tropical zodiac, this crossing marks the start of the astrological year. The Sun spends 30 days in Aries, a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, before entering Taurus on 19 April 2025 at 19:56 UTC.
Astrologers treat the start of Aries as a fresh beginning, a season of initiative, courage and direct action. The tradition associates the sign with the self, physical vitality and the urge to be first, along with a quick temper when patience runs short. Many readers use this window to set intentions for the months ahead. A modest suggestion: pick one small thing you have been postponing and start it this week, without waiting for perfect conditions.
