What does this mean?
On March 20, 2027 at 21:24 (CET), the Sun leaves Pisces and moves into Aries. The planet keeps its job and changes its style, like someone wearing a new coat to the same work. Whatever Sun sets in motion in your everyday life now carries the color of Aries.
What does the Sun mean?
Your Sun is the core of who you are: your will, your awareness, the engine that drags you out of bed each morning. It describes how you like to take center stage and the story you tell about yourself. Where it sits in your chart names your basic theme, the part of you that wants to be seen and that every other planet circles.
What does Aries mean?
Aries is the first impulse: direct, fast, no detours. It wants to start, not analyze, and won't ask a question it can't answer with a move. Where Aries is active, there's speed and courage, and the will to jump in before checking the landing, like signing up for a race and buying shoes later.
Sun Enters Aries
The Sun enters Aries, and the astrological year begins. Old questions get fresh, direct answers in the weeks that follow.

When does the Sun enter Aries?
It happens exactly once a year, though the day moves around a little. From 1900 to 2100 the ingress landed most often on March 20 (59.2 % of years). The earliest date was March 19, the latest March 21.
Blame the calendar. A solar year runs about 365 days and 6 hours, while the calendar counts only 365 and makes up the difference with a leap day every fourth year. So the ingress drifts roughly six hours later each year until a leap year pulls it back.
