Your Horoscope This Week

The start of the week has an edge to it. On Tuesday, the ego-ruling Sun forms a square against change-making Uranus. We’ll be itching to move on to the next big thing. Navigating this nervous energy will require patience — with ourselves and others. Keeping our schedules simple and carefully taking small steps can help us maintain a positive mindset. Thursday is a good day to meditate on how we’d like to create more satisfaction from your relationships, as charming Venus forms a conjunction with powerful Pluto. This transit offers a double whammy of emotional energy: We’re able to attract others with ease, and we’re especially sensitive to each other’s feelings. We should act and speak with honesty to build strong relationships during this transit, and not be afraid to create healthy boundaries. We’re craving the spotlight on Thursday as well, as the emotion-ruling Moon waxes full in proud Leo.

Here’s where those boundaries come in handy again: We can’t please everyone, and that’s okay. Later on in the day, we’ll be feeling more optimistic about our goals as the ego-ruling Sun forms a conjunction with bountiful Jupiter.

Life might be looking a little different as we navigate this transit, but it’s a great time to be extra-cautious about how we come across, find lost things, and reminisce. We can think of it as an opportunity to reconnect with our inner voice, and rediscover our rebellious side. AriesMarch 21 to April 19Does your space need some added flair, Aries?
