Overview of Aries Season 2026

Despite their reputation, we need malefic planets. They keep the benefics in check. They bring balance to desire, greed, and pleasure; their consequences teach and guide. The opposition, an aspect of two extremes, is the nature of Saturn. Finding balance and harmony is an always shifting, constantly adjusting reality. Benefics, Venus and Jupiter, can soften the hard edges of malefics, Mars and Saturn. Finding equanimity amid attachment to pleasure and aversion to pain is the path. Desire forms attachment and anger brings delusion. Learning to discern this within oneself is an oft-repeated lesson.

Like increases like, and opposites balance. How do you return to center when veering off-balance? In yoga, this is called pratipaksha bhavana, or cultivating the opposite. Imbalance can arise through patterns of thought or action. Pausing, shifting course, and replacing repetitive or negative behaviors can bring balance.
