Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

There are several important planetary shifts this week, Aquarius, each of which deserves your attention. Venus is leading the brigade on the 29th when she leaves Aries, where she has been since the beginning of April, and dives into sensual Taurus and your emotional 4th House of Home and Family. For the next four weeks romance will be about wearing your heart on your sleeve, and while you might normally prefer a secure and stable partner, they will look even more attractive this time around. This transit is going to make quite a few spectacular and fiery angles during its time at the base of your chart, but after this visit the planets will have much easier alignments on the horizon for the foreseeable future.

Come the 30th, Mars leaves your financially-minded 2nd House and moves on to Aries and your chatty 3rd of Local Community. This cycle is going to be a very busy one, one that sees you probably doing some short-distance travel and engaging with all kinds of people in your vicinity. You may also find yourself engaged more in communications work, whether that be writing or some other form of media. This is a great time for forming productive partnerships as well, since the 3rd House is naturally ruled by Gemini, aka the sign of the Twins, so don’t shy away from forming any dynamic duos. You’ll want to do your best to maintain a sense of organization, however, as it can become a bit too easy to lose sight of everything while Mars is bounding through this hectic arena. A little foresight and you’ll be able to make the most of it.

Come the 2nd, Pluto turns retrograde for the next five months, initiating a phase that will begin in your own sign before backing up into Capricorn and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious, marking the last time this will occur for hundreds of years. Pluto is a very powerful planet, even if it is rather small and floating far, far away; it deals with the very depths of our souls, the most power-hungry parts of us, and where we go to assert ourselves in meaningful ways. With Pluto going into sleep mode it’s time to look inside yourself and take a good hard look at how your desires and your deepest urges guide the decisions you make. You might not necessarily like what you find, but you need to excavate these things in order for there to be healing and transformation, which is the ultimate purpose of Pluto. Happy spelunking; it’s time to do some deep diving.
