Aries Weekly Horoscope

This week ushers in plenty of back and forth energy. First, on the 18th, Mercury will retrograde out of Sagittarius and your adventure sector and reverse into Scorpio and your extreme 8th House. Mercury will be asleep until the 29th, so you’ll want to avoid any major discussions or decisions for the time being, especially if they revolve around finances or any other shared resources, which fall under the 8th House. It’s easy to get bogged down by confusion when Mercury is retrograde, so don’t make it worse by attempting to hit the gas while you’re still in reverse.

That being said, there is still a lot of new energy heading your way on the 20th, when the sky will host the beautiful New Moon in Scorpio, again putting the focus on your 8th House of Secrets, Shared Resources, and Intimacy. This energy is all about planting seeds for something beautiful to grow, and because this lunation is forming such potent angles to numerous other planets, it looks as though whatever you try to establish now will come back to support you for years to come. If you are hoping to get closer to someone important, then this lunation will make it happen, but this also provides opportunity for financial advancement, so don’t sit back on your laurels and wait for others to initiate everything. Just remember to take time to plan before blasting off into the future, and perhaps wait until December to unleash your plans.

Now then, the primal Sun has spent the last month moving through Scorpio and your 8th House of Shared Resources, which can be great for getting your money in order but doesn’t make for the lightest of transits. On the 21st he waves farewell and jumps into Sagittarius and your expansive 9th House of Foreign Cultures and Expansion, bringing a fresh wave of opportunities along with it. While the world might have felt very tight and boxed in lately, all of a sudden, it’s going to feel like someone kicked open a door and a few windows to boot. It is time to treat life like a wonderful buffet, and you need to get out and sample as much of it as you possibly can. Whether you decide to travel, further your education, or delve into unknown spiritual topics, you would do well to broaden your horizons as much as possible. It will prove exceptionally rewarding both in the present and long-term.

Come the 23rd, the Sun will make a supportive sextile to alchemical Pluto in your social 11th House, so there will be a significant opportunity to push your boundaries further than ever before, especially when you align yourself with new people and networks. This is no time to play it small or fly solo.
