Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

There is no need to rush off your feet or dive right into the week, Aquarius, because it will all be starting off on a rather calm and quiet note. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that we won’t witness any important planetary alignments until we reach the 17th, which arrives with a Half Moon in Aries and your 3rd House of Local Community and Friendships. Have you fallen out of touch with a few people during these last couple of months? Reach out to a few friends you haven’t heard from, or perhaps a sibling or other family member, and spend some time reconnecting. You’ll be surprised how much it does for your emotional state. This is also a good time to get out and about and see what is going on in your local area; you could discover some very interesting new spots that quickly become favored haunts.

It would appear that, lately, people have been taking on extra importance in your life, albeit a slightly complicated one. Messenger Mercury has spent the last couple of weeks slowly spinning through Leo and your 7th House of Partnerships and Contracts, so your focus has likely already been honed in on the people in your life, but things will alter as Mercury turns retrograde in this sector on the 18th, bringing you into a whole new period of relationship recalibration. Mercury retrograde can seem daunting and confusing, but that’s only if you don’t know how to handle it; the important thing is to remember the ‘re’ part: review, redo, reorganize, revisit, etc, etc, etc. Instead of trying to forge ahead with new projects and new partnerships you should focus on refining and improving the old ones, and if you find that some cannot be improved or saved from impending doom then perhaps it’s time to move on. Even if you don’t consciously try to return to old projects you can expect some will come out of the woodwork, so see what emerges and remember to take things slowly.

Also on the 18th, Mercury will make a supportive and positive sextile to loving Venus in Gemini and your 5th House of Passion and Creativity, encouraging you to take things easy and pursue the things that bring a smile to your face, whether it be of a romantic nature or you indulging in a favorite hobby or simply belting it out at a karaoke bar. With Mercury in your relationship sector, you will likely want to partner up with someone for a day of whatever you like, but with Mercury also retrograde, it is more than likely that this someone will be from your past; new connections formed during retrograde season rarely tend to last very long, so if you’re looking for a fling then have at it by all means, but you ought to hold back if you’re hoping for something more stable and lasting.
