Aries Weekly Horoscope

This week arrives with a grounded Half Moon in Taurus and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Security on the 5th, reminding you to keep your feet on the ground, but also to enjoy the earthly pleasures on offer. The world is moving so quickly and there is so much happening all around you, that it really can’t hurt to stop and smell the roses. Take a moment to check in with yourself, get centered, and perhaps treat yourself to something lovely in the spirit of Taurus energy.

The first planetary shift of the week happens the very next day, and loving Venus wraps up her visit to methodical Virgo and your efficient 6th House, and dances into charming Libra and your 7th House of Relationships until early September. This cycle is wonderful for romantic purposes, and can stir up a lot of lovely opportunities for singles and couples alike to enjoy themselves, but this can also help business partnerships prove to be even more lucrative, since Venus loves to spread her abundance round in any way she can. This is also a great time for signing any contracts as you can be sure you’ll get a good bargain.

The 6th also includes a rather important transit that is going to feel quite personal. The Sun in Leo and your passionate 5th House is going to form a harmonious trine to karmic Saturn, currently camped out in your own sign and 1st House of Self-Expression. The Sun is inspiring you to put yourself out there and shine, but Saturn is reminding you that you need to put in the effort beforehand if you want to have anything worthwhile to show people when you find yourself on center stage. Hard work can pay off in wonderful ways, so remember that just because you have to act like an adult doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the process.

On a different note, messenger Mercury has lately been on an extended tour through Cancer and your foundational 4th House of Feelings and Family, a highly charged and emotional cycle that probably found you dealing with more than one major issue on the home front, not least because Mercury was retrograde for part of this time. On the 9th, however, the mood lifts as Mercury wings its way into Leo and your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Creativity for the next two and a half weeks. This sector of your chart rules your artistic pursuits and anything where you get to let your imagination run wild, so don’t be afraid to take an unusual approach to old problems right now. This House rewards courage so take a chance and let the Muse inspire you; your creations could turn out to be worth more than you’d ever expect.
