Aries Weekly Horoscope
The short answer
Aries, this week choose the smallest useful move in your drive, and where you're willing to push and complete it. Useful for a decisive follow-through. Do not force three projects when one done well would move you further. Early in the week carries this most clearly.
· Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Aries, this week choose the smallest useful move in your drive, and where you're willing to push and complete it. Useful for a decisive follow-through. Do not force three projects when one done well would move you further. Early in the week carries this most clearly. This is because your ruler Mars is in Leo, which emphasises your drive, and where you're willing to push. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday 24 October. For Aries that is your 8th house of shared money and intimacy: joint finances, debt, tax, inheritance, and what you only say in private. The Sun moves from Libra into Scorpio on Friday 23 October, in your 8th house. Venus moves from Scorpio into Libra on Sunday 25 October. For Aries that is your 7th house of partnership: your significant other, close business partners, and open opponents. Venus and Pluto form an exact square on Tuesday 20 October, in your 8th house. Mars flows easily with Saturn, so where you're being asked to do the solid, unglamorous work is in the mix too. Saturn and Neptune are also transiting Aries at the moment, which brings where you're being asked to do the solid, unglamorous work directly into your own territory rather than leaving it somewhere abstract. Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde, double-check anything you're signing or sending. Taken together, the practical instruction is to commit to the specific thing in front of you rather than reorganising everything around it.
Aries Love & Relationships
Say the quiet part this week: the money you share, the trust you are not sure of, the thing you have both been walking around. Venus is retrograde, so revisit rather than begin. Good for the honest subject: money, trust, or the thing neither of you names. Not useful for testing someone to see if they notice. Venus starts the week in Scorpio, your 8th house of shared money and intimacy. Venus and Pluto form an exact square on Tuesday 20 October, in your 8th house. The Sun and Venus form an exact conjunction on Saturday 24 October, in your 8th house. The Moon does not reach Scorpio this week, so for your love life steady effort beats waiting for a perfect day. What is shared and what is hidden is the honest subject in this relationship.
Aries Career & Work
Make something this week rather than managing something. The creative piece, the pitch with your voice in it, the part you enjoy. Good for making something, rather than managing something. Not useful for grinding admin you could do half asleep. Mars stays in Leo all week in your 5th house of romance, play and creativity, so the subject holds from start to finish. The Moon does not reach Leo this week, so for your work steady effort beats waiting for a perfect day. The work worth doing this week is the work with you in it.
Aries Health & Wellbeing
Something has been held in too long this week. Name it to one person, or write it down, and let the tension have somewhere to go. Good for letting out what you have been holding, to someone or onto paper. Not useful for another night of holding it alone. Mercury stays in Scorpio all week in your 8th house of shared money and intimacy, so the subject holds from start to finish. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday 24 October, in your 8th house. The Moon does not reach Scorpio this week, so for your health and energy steady effort beats waiting for a perfect day. What you carry privately is what tires the body.
Aries Money & Finance
Fun is the risk this week. Set the number before you go out, and keep the treat a treat rather than a habit. Good for an enjoyable spend you decided the size of first. Not useful for a purchase bought on a mood. Jupiter stays in Leo all week in your 5th house of romance, play and creativity, so the subject holds from start to finish. The Moon does not reach Leo this week, so for your money steady effort beats waiting for a perfect day. Enjoy it on purpose, at a size you chose.
