It’s best to read the prediction for your ascendant (rising sign) first, though you may find it helpful to read for your sun and moon placements as well!

Aries: Hey, firecracker! There’s a solar eclipse in Scorpio coming around on the 25th in tandem with the new moon and you’ll find yourself coming to question what your definitions of courage and strength are. It’s a time of growth – embracing major personal truths, holding space for loved ones, and finally shedding light on that conflict you’ve been avoiding with a partner or close friend. It’s time to clear the air. Find your peace beforehand, however, or you might just find yourself acting on misdirected anger and hurting someone unnecessarily!

The solar eclipse on the 25th will be lighting up your 7th house of relationships – there may be a possible rekindling of a past connection or success in making new connections at work or school.
