Aries Weekly Horoscope

You are entering a week that will bring many changes and opportunities with it, Aries, for it is jam-packed with important transits, but there is one in particular which you are going to be feeling much more than the other signs of the zodiac. Action planet Mars is turning retrograde in Leo and your 5th House of Passion and Pleasure on the 6th, and while this will play out differently for everyone, Mars is your ruler, so you may be more impacted. Normally when Mars visits any given sign, he does so for roughly six weeks before moving on, but this time Mars will be here until mid-January, when it will back up into Cancer and your foundational 4th House of finally turn direct again at the end of February, when it will then retrace all these steps one last time.

Since you’ve got Mars in your pleasure sector for now, this transit is going to see any budding connections or your general romantic life take a bit of a hit. That doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy Mars transiting this sector of your chart, but it will be less effusive than normal and require you to even consider the ways in which you pursue your pleasures and exert energy in their name. This is hardly an overnight phase, so buckle in.

Next, Neptune steps into the spotlight, changing the tone to something more mystical. Neptune has spent the last five months in retrograde motion, moving backwards through Pisces and your 12th House of Spirituality and Closure. Neptune will wake up from his extended snooze on the 7th of December, bringing more clarity to your spiritual life. What energy have you built up over the last few months that needs to be released? It’s time to heal and decompress, so look at life with a fresh approach and the Universe will reward you.

Is it romance or is it friendship? What zone do you want to wind up in, or are you just flying by the seat of your pants and seeing where you wind up? Also on the 7th, loving Venus will leave Capricorn and your ambitious 10th House of Career and move on to Aquarius and your social 11th House of Global Communities and Networks. After orienting so much attention to your achievements and obligations, you’ll finally get to pursue a few more pleasurable activities, but whether these are more platonic or passionate remains to be seen. That being said, technology is highlighted under this transit, so if you’ve been holding off on doing some swiping now is the time to start; coupled Aries should try and find more ways to make date night not just about the two of you.
