Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

This week puts a big emphasis on your ambitions and your goals, Aquarius, but just because you are heading towards the finish line doesn’t mean you need to rush! In fact, this week is telling you to slow down and take your time, but one thing at a time! First, on the 23rd, the Sun will blast into Scorpio and your ambitious 10th House of Career and Reputation, encouraging you to work your way up life’s great ladder. The Sun will be moving through this sector of your chart for the next month, so get ready to roll up your sleeves and make it rain because the universe is blessing all your efforts right now. This sector of your chart also rules over the VIPs in your life and other supervisor figures, so you could find a lot of success by turning to some higher-ups for guidance, or a boost in your favor. This is going to be a big period of manifestation, and you’d be wise to not let anything hold you back right now; go forth into the world and make a name for yourself.

With all this in mind, however, you want to proceed with caution in this arena, because come the 24th, messenger Mercury will turn retrograde in Scorpio and your career sector until November 13th, meaning it will be easier than usual to trip yourself up at the office or while in pursuit of your goals over the next three and a half weeks. You may catch wind of some exciting opportunities or new projects, only for them to fizzle out before they can really get going, or perhaps you think you are making headway, only to find out you’ve been going in circles.

Generally, the golden rule of retrogrades is to return to what has already occurred, rather than trying to start new projects or positions, because new ventures are sure to break down before they can get going. Revise and review, but avoid exploring new territory in the name of advancement. You’ll have better luck focusing on what is already on your plate.

Speaking of retrogrades, alluring Venus is also in this sector, and has been for quite a while, as she turned retrograde here back at the start of October, so chances are that these energies won’t feel entirely new to you. However, on the 25th, Venus will retrograde back into Libra and your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, where she will eventually also turn direct on November 13th. In the meantime, try not to let a stranger with a sexy accent steal your heart, because they may not be inclined to treat it as gently as you would prefer; likewise, you need to be careful about biting off more than you can chew when it comes to experiencing life, because Venus in the 9th wants to experience as much as she can, but the reality is there simply isn’t enough time to do everything you want. Don’t load too much up on your plate!
