Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

The energy shifts a little bit this week, with Mercury going direct. As always, the Mercury retro elements have a tendency to linger until it's back into full speed ahead mode again, and that will be applicable today. You are going to want to stay aware of the recent things you've learned and the perspective it gives you, as you'll have some opportunities to put these to use.

Aside from that, we have a couple other things going on. First is the Sun connecting with Uranus. This is going to kickstart a lot of people's senses of creativity. I'll liken it to my idea for a cheap, automatic sock folder from earlier this retro, which presently looks like a market deficiency. One of you will probably steal this idea now and make a million bucks; when you do, remember ol' Bud (at least send me a free one).

Mars also sits in between Saturn and Pluto, drawing off both of them. This can perpetuate some of the uneasiness that's been going on with any work issues, though that aspect is trying to fade. As Mars moves closer to Pluto through the week though, you're going to see more destructive tendencies arise. Be careful about tearing things down without good reason, and also without a good replacement plan. This also applies to items, so be more careful with your stuff.

Lastly, you have Venus oppo Jupiter, which can create some short term-long term desire conflicts. Are you bailing on better rewards down the line in order to get a cheap thrill now? Are you sticking with bad situations out of dumb principles that don't hold up under scrutiny? Weigh both sides of these types of scenarios before you make decisions.

Overall, there's quite a bit of tension in the chart, but relative to the recent energy, at least it's set up to not hit you all in the same spot at the same time. There will be some challenges, but also some opportunities. This is really one of those "stick with it" kind of charts where going through some adversity creates better situations for you in the future. The main thing is to avoid getting fed up, flipping over your war room table and starting from scratch. Work within the situations you're in for solutions, as they're out there. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

When you get locked in on something, it's going to be hard for you to look away from it. This is especially true in terms of material pursuits, and it's hard to make sure you aren't letting your desires consume you. Others might come along and offer you something better, but this energy makes it difficult for you to look up long enough to realize there's better options out there. Try to find moments during the day to get a broader perspective on what's going on around you, just so you aren't missing anything.
