Aries Weekly Horoscope

If you've been waiting for the right moment to refresh basically everything, this week creates quite the launchpad. But it might not be giving Artemis II immediately. This Monday, April 13, a hazy connection of ferocious Mars and flowy Neptune in your sign is a once-every-other-year transit that can leave you feeling simultaneously tired and wired. Resist any rash moves and turn inward instead. It's a perfect day for free-form mindmapping, dreaming on paper, or digging through old work for inspiration you'd forgotten you had. If any of your goals involve creative projects, remember that you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Talk to people who've walked this path before and go through old notes or sketches of your own. You never know: Some might still be viable, and others could spark a whole new vision.

The energy shifts Tuesday when Mercury blazes into Aries, sharpening your mind and quickening your tongue until May 2. Ideas that felt foggy over the weekend will suddenly have edges. Then Friday delivers the main event: A new moon in your sign arrives with a rare stellium of the Sun, driven Mars, loquacious Mercury, structured Saturn, healing Chiron and numinous Neptune, all gathered in Aries, a genuine cosmic launchpad for the next six months. With all this energy activating your first house of self and identity, this is the moment to invest in your personal brand, launch that solo project you've been quietly incubating or step into a bolder public presence. Connect with your deepest desires and set some high-minded intentions. Don't just think them or type them. Handwrite them in a journal and envision exactly how you'll feel when you accomplish them. That's where the manifesting power lives. Give yourself until the September 26 Aries full moon to evaluate your success. And keep your eyes on Sunday, when Mars and Saturn connect in Aries. You could already see some crystallized results or the early makings of a plan come together faster than expected.

Buh-bye birthday season! On Sunday, the Sun leaves Aries for another year and trots into the sign of the Bull until May 20. Hopefully it's been an inspiring month, because now, el Sol sends a power surge through your second house of work and finances. Bring on the practical magic! If you've been waiting for a sign to get a business venture off the ground or are looking for more rewarding employment, Taurus season could bring it. This is also a good time to take an unblinking look at your bank and credit card statements. While reining in spending is important, you also need to be earning enough. This might be the moment when you hike your rates or talk to your manager about a raise. If you need to polish your skills or acquire new ones, start researching workshops and digital offerings. That nest egg is ready to grow!
