Aries Weekly Horoscope

Welcome to a week that begins on a rather confusing note, but ends with quite a bit of clarity. Monday, the 17th, features some very potent energy, as red-hot Mars in your 4th House of Home and Family forms a tense square to Neptune in your sign. Under this draining alignment, you might find the demands of your family or living situation are cutting into your own needs, or perhaps you wake up to the fact that if you keep pushing yourself as hard as you have been then there is no chance you are ever going to find enough time to relax. Whatever it is, you can certainly expect some sort of dissonance between your home life and your private life.

At the same time, there will be more positive energy on offer, as alluring Venus in your relationship sector forms a supportive sextile to abundant Jupiter in your creativity sector, so even if things feel a bit out of sorts in one sense of the word, there will be positivity to be found elsewhere. This energy is very romantic and could usher in some very pleasant times with someone special, but you could also uncover some very financially promising opportunities at this time, so keep your eyes peeled for opportunities.

The 19th features a balancing Half Moon in Scorpio and your intimate 8th House of Sex and Secrecy, which could bring a bit of intensity to the surface, since this just so happens to be the most extreme sector of your chart. Yet if there has ever been a moment to disappear behind closed doors with someone special and throw away the key, it would most certainly be this one; you can let your fantasies take over without any guilt. It’s a great time to break down boundaries and barriers, so don’t be afraid to go there as necessary. This sector also deals with major finances so it couldn’t hurt to go over your accounts with extra detail, because you may discover something important.

Only a few days later, on the 22nd, the primal Sun blasts out of Leo and moves into Virgo and your orderly 6th House of Daily Work and Routine. For the last four weeks, you had the Sun moving through your fun-loving 5th House, but it’s finally time to buckle down and get serious. Since this arena of your chart rules your workaday routine, among other things, don’t be surprised if you see things begin to pick up at the office–or wherever it is you go to earn your money–because that’s exactly where your attention will be centered for now. This is also a great time to focus on your health and physical fitness, so use this cycle as an opportunity to make healthier choices, whether that means getting more sleep, eating more greens, or building up a sweat on a more regular basis. Likewise, if you’ve been putting off a visit to the doctor, now is the time to get it scheduled.
