Aries Monthly Horoscope

Focus on your nest egg this month, Aries. While the Sun is camped out in Cancer and your foundational fourth house until July 22, think about laying solid groundwork that brings comfort AND returns.

Explore new approaches to lasting security, ones that also include the long game. Think: property investments, home upgrades or even relocating somewhere that supports your financial goals. A family member could even float a loan or investment idea worth exploring. Tread carefully though, since Mercury is retrograde in this part of your chart until July 23.

Meanwhile, ambitious Mars is blazing through Gemini the whole month, firing up your communication sector until August 11, pushing you to be more experimental with your investments (just watch the fine print with Mercury retrograde!). Where you might have been reluctant to switch things up before, Mars in spontaneous Gemini has you ready for change and eager to try a multitude of ideas. How much have you been truly “paying” for your financial security? If it’s cost you happiness, fulfillment and creative risk-taking, it might not be worth the sacrifice.

With Mars in Gemini, ideas will come fast and furious, and you’ll need to stay on your toes to capture them. Fire up your trusty Notes app to jot them down as they percolate. A kindred spirit (maybe even a sibling) could emerge as the perfect collaborator as you bounce ideas. While Mars here can make you feel a bit scattered, there could be a diamond-in-the-rough concept that evolves into the next great thing. With the third house’s emphasis on marketing, spread the word about what you’re up to through clever posts and coffee dates with potential influencers and collaborators.
