What the season is about
Aries season starts at the March equinox, when the Sun reaches 0 degrees Aries and the zodiac begins again. Astrology treats it as the real new year. Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, and everything about it points at first moves.
In plain terms it is a month for starting. Ideas that sat through the winter want a first draft, a first call, a first step. Energy runs high and patience runs short.
The risk is impatience. Give new plans a few weeks before you judge them, and finish one thing for every two you start.

Questions, answered
When does Aries season start?
The Sun enters Aries on March 20, 2027, 20:24 UTC and leaves on April 20, 2027, 07:17 UTC, about 30 days later. The page shows both moments in your own time zone.
Why do the Aries dates change from year to year?
The usual Aries dates are an average. The calendar year is not a whole number of days long, so the moment the Sun crosses into Aries drifts by some hours each year and can land on a neighbouring date, depending on your time zone as well.
What if I was born on the first or last day of Aries season?
Your Sun sign depends on the exact moment of your birth, not on the average dates. A birth chart with your birth time settles it.
What does “Reading confidence 40%” mean?
It says how specific a reading is. A line written for a Sun sign alone, with no date or birth time, carries 40%. It is not the chance that something happens.
