Aries Weekly Horoscope

Welcome to a week where your ambitions are taking center stage, though it might not feel like that right away. The 24th could bring a confusing romantic situation to a… well, not quite a halt, and not quite a conclusion, either. Venus in Sagittarius and your adventurous 9th House of Expansion and Foreign Cultures will form a powerful yet confusing square to illusory Neptune in Pisces and your fantastical 12th House of the Subconscious and All Things Hidden, making it rather difficult to see through those rose-colored glasses.

Neptune likes to obscure the facts wherever it goes, so when it forms a complicated angle to Venus, the planet of love, you can expect things to be less than stable. Don’t go professing your deepest desires right now; they won’t be well received, and even if they are, chances are good that there’s going to be a miscommunication along the way. Wait until the planets are in less complicated places before professing any feelings, for good or for ill. Keep in mind, however, that Neptune will be moving into your sign next month, and this is therefore the last time you will experience Venus and Neptune squaring off in these sectors within your lifetime, so this angle could feel particularly potent.

There’s a bit of a shake-up on the work front before the 24th comes to an end, albeit a positive one in your favor, as pleasure-loving Venus will leave Sagittarius and your exotic 9th House, where she has been rotating since late-November. The planet of love and money will then dive into Capricorn and your 10th House of Career and Reputation, adding a heaping dose of positivity on to your professional aims until January 17th, when she will move on to Aquarius and your outgoing 11th House. For now, however, this cycle will make VIPs look upon you even more kindly than usual, so don’t be scared of putting yourself out there, because you’re sure to perform well. This can also bring you rewards for previous work, so if you’ve been toiling behind the scenes on a specific project then you may finally receive a windfall of one sort or another. You certainly deserve this, Aries.

The 27th features a balancing Half Moon in your sign, reminding you to take stock of your life and your goals and make sure they are in alignment. This is neither a planting period nor one for harvesting, but simply a check-in time. Where do you stand on the road to your goals? Are you further along than you’d like, or have you perhaps fallen behind a way? It’s time to do what you need to get yourself to where you want to be, so focus on what is missing or standing in the way, and deal with that.
