Aries Weekly Horoscope

This is a week that feels attention-grabbing one moment, Aries, then like you’ve decided to roll over and take a nap the next. The 3rd is headlined by Uranus, the planet of surprise, turning direct in Taurus and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Wealth, after spending the last five months in retrograde motion. There might have been a few nasty financial surprises along the way, or perhaps you had more than a little bit of difficulty finding some semblance of calm when it came to handling your money, but with Uranus waking up once again the surprises should become more pleasantly ingenious than nefarious and earth-shattering. It’s important to note that this is the last time Uranus will turn direct in Taurus for a long, long time, as it will enter Gemini and your chatty 3rd House later on in the spring, not to return to Taurus until next century. Make the most of this transit while you can.

This continues begins with a bit of jarring news coming your way, so don’t be shocked if the 5th isn’t exactly ‘quiet’ or ‘average,’ either. Messenger Mercury is spinning through the last degrees of Aquarius and your social 11th House of Global Networks, so you’re hardly in the mood to put a lid on it right now. That’s all well and good for the most part, but on Thursday, Mercury will form a tense square to change-maker Uranus in Taurus and your 2nd House of income, throwing a combustible spark into the sky. Either you’re going to be dying to go against the grain and let people know it, or someone else could come out of the blue to blow your socks off with a very unexpected communication. The only thing that is safe to say is that whatever comes your way will be coming out of left field.

Only one day later, it’s time to take your hands off the steering wheel and let your mind coast for a while. Mercury has spent the last couple of weeks in Aquarius and your outgoing 11th House. During this time, you probably met a lot of new and interesting people and came across some new and very interesting ideas you intend to take with you into the future and put to use. Well, before you take off on any grand plans it’s time to pause and review all the information you’ve acquired over the last year. On the 6th, Mercury slips into Pisces and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious for the next couple of months, a tour that will be longer than usual thanks to an upcoming retrograde phase that will begin on the 26th. For the duration of this transit, you’ll want to be extra careful when it comes to any important matters as lines can blur all the more easily under this cycle. Use this time to clear out your mental decks so that by the time Mercury arrives in your sign you’ll be in the perfect shape to benefit from all his gifts.
