Aries Weekly Horoscope

Mojo in slo-mo? Get ready for a turbocharge this Monday, November 9, when the year’s only new moon in Scorpio and your eighth house amps up your powers of seduction. Regardless of your relationship status, under this lunar lift, you can breathe new life into any connection that feels stagnant or uninspiring. You might have to lead the way, but that’s usually not a problem for your take-charge sign. Both Scorpio and the eighth house are about deep emotions and transformation, so over the next two weeks, think in terms of what you’d like to manifest with your person or someone new. If you’re single, take time early in the week to fully imagine how it would feel to be with somebody who’s your true complement. Let that sensation sink in, and then, as you meet prospective dates, see if their energy matches that. Consider any red flags—or even faint pink ones—which is a sign to not pursue. But when something does align, open your heart and give it a serious go. If you’re seeing someone or in an LTR, focus on the trust and intimacy between you. That’s the first step to developing, strengthening or renewing the passion.

On Friday, Mercury AND Venus end their retrogrades, and things that have stalled or gone sideways over the past several weeks will pick up steam again. Mercury stations direct first, and from your point of view, probably not a moment too soon. The messenger planet has been spinning in reverse through Scorpio and your eighth house of vulnerability, eroticism and shared resources, and this thrice-annual backspin can leave an action-oriented Aries highly frustrated! You may have had to maneuver around some speed bumps in a close relationship, or perhaps you wondered if you even spoke the same language. The good news is, as Mercury corrects course on Friday, you can look forward to the return of clarity and connection, and lingering power struggles may simply vanish. That said, if the retrograde uncovered some very real relationship issues, perhaps involving trust or jealousy, it’s worth addressing them. Mercury stays in Scorpio until December 6, setting the stage for deep and intense conversations that may be long overdue!

Later on Friday, Venus follows in Mercury’s winged footsteps and flips into forward motion. If you’ve been navigating jumbled emotions or mysterious attractions for the past six weeks—or if your love life has felt like it somehow went offline—get ready for some sweet relief. Love planet Venus commenced her retrograde in Scorpio on October 3 but retreated into Libra and your seventh house of partnerships on October 25. While all relationships go through different phases and have their highs and lows, the out-of-sync communication with a love interest might have felt insurmountable at times. Single? You may have been so frustrated that you feared you’d never meet anyone with promise! Couples might have questioned their commitment or started looking for the exit. The good news is, that’s in the past now, and the silver lining is that you (hopefully) learned some valuable things about your needs and the importance of getting them met. Venus won’t go retrograde for another 18 months, so it’s safe to dip back into the dating pool or get back on track with your person. This is equally true for creative or business partners. And with luck and honesty, you can build an even stronger foundation—or walk away without massive guilt or remorse.
