Aries Weekly Horoscope

Make sure to let yourself eat cake this week, because the Sun is winding down its final five days in Aries. On Saturday, April 19, you’ll need to shift into a more grounded headspace as Taurus season begins. Secretly, you might be relieved. With the Sun streaming into your second house of practical magic, you can anchor your visions in a tangible plan. Setting a budget doesn’t have to be a buzzkill; in fact, some 101 project management will show you just how doable your “insane” ideas can actually be. With money matters in the spotlight, keep your ear to the street for prosperous opportunities, whether you’re hoping to attract new clients or find a more fulfilling gig. Does it feel like you’re bleeding red ink? Although decadent Taurus can ratchet up your love of luxury, indulge responsibly now. Fortunately, Taurus season reminds us that the best things in life are free (or almost so). Get some fresh air by hiking, biking and organizing apres work hangouts in the park.

As confidence boosting as this week will be, careful not to trod on other people’s terrain this weekend—unless you want to start a border war. Molten Mars in Leo is in a free-flowing trine with Neptune in Aries, which is historical news. These two planets haven’t connected in these signs since the 1870s! Peacocking urges will be hard to resist, so don’t! But DO surround yourself with people who understand and appreciate the art of glamour. (As Aries Lady Gaga sang, “Walk, walk, fashion, baby.”) This Saturday might be your moment to host a dress-up dinner or a costume karaoke party if nothing’s going on in your neighborhood. With fantasy-fueled Neptune enmeshed with lusty Mars in your romance sector, a stalled romance could regain speed if you give it a little gas. The only issue? The Taurus Sun clashes into a restraining square with Mars on Sunday, pumping the brakes on excessive spending or risky maneuvers. If you’re going to make a scene or protest injustices out in the world this weekend, make sure you know the rules AND your rights.
