Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

You may find yourself a little sensitive early this week, Aquarius, but that isn’t a bad thing! The 5th arrives with a powerful Half Moon in Taurus, encouraging you to check in with yourself on an emotional and foundational level. This lunar phase will illuminate your 4th House of Home and Family, so it’s more than likely you’ll find yourself in something of a nesting mood. You may need to make a few adjustments under your own roof, but don’t worry about making big changes; this is a check-in phase, rather than a time of planting seeds or harvesting fruit.

There is an important changing of the planetary guard on the 6th as romantic Venus finishes up her annual tour of Virgo and your 8th House of Shared Intimacy and flies into Libra and your 9th House of Expansion for the next month. With this shift in the skies, while the world might have felt very boxed up, romantically speaking, your options are going to suddenly feel much more endless, and the change from the 8th to the 9th House can feel like letting a fresh breeze into a very stuffy room. Couples can look forward to bringing a little spice and excitement into the bedroom, so don’t be afraid to try something new, while singles should widen their search radius, because someone from a different background could prove more interesting than usual.

You may also have some rather important interactions on the 6th, when the Sun in Leo and your 7th House of Relationships trines Saturn in Aries and your 3rd House of Communications. This transit wants you to get out and see what everyone is up to, and you could discover some very interesting opportunities for yourself in the process, perhaps some that are quite close to your own front door. The crucial thing is that you don’t hide yourself away at this time, because the only way to miss out on what’s available is by keeping to yourself.

On a different note, you’ve hosted messenger Mercury in Cancer and your orderly 6th House for the last couple of months. This transit is normally great for getting down the basics and amplifying your efficiency, but Mercury was retrograde here for much of July, which could have created more problems than solutions. Fortunately, there is a huge shift on the 9th as Mercury waves goodbye to this sector of your chart and dives into Leo and your 7th House of Partnerships. For the next two weeks, two heads are better than one, and whether you’re aiming for romantic or professional progress, Mercury can help make waves in either territory. The 7th House also rules contracts and negotiations, so this would be a wonderful time to hash out an agreement or new project, because you can be sure the terms will be fair and satisfactory.
