Aries Horoscope July 2013

Now that magnetic Venus is moving direct in your sign, you’re caught in a tug-of-war that pits your intense desire for success against your need to retreat from the world to enjoy time with loved ones. The recent waves of high intensity continue as the ambitious Capricorn Full Moon conjuncts impassioned Pluto on July 3 in your 10th House of Career. Although you know what you want and have a plan to get it, your energy is drawn toward family relationships now, delaying your success. You cannot rush off and do things your way, for energetic Mars enters diplomatic Libra on the 3rd and remains in your 7th House of Partnerships until August 23, forcing you to balance your desires with the needs of those close to you. Although supportive aspects to unconventional Uranus are indicative of unusual events on July 4, your life may quiet down a bit as communicator Mercury grinds to a halt to enter its retrograde phase, which lasts from July 14 to August 8.

Aries Monthly Horoscope 2013 June

This is a month of dramatic transitions that foreshadow Larger changes ahead. The farsighted Sagittarius Full Moon Eclipse on June 4 falls in your 9th House of Future Vision, shaking things up at work enough to cause you to rethink your long-term plans. Although this eclipse reveals tensions on the job, the real pressure comes from a shocking square between rebellious Uranus in your 1st House of Self and powerful Pluto in your 10th House of Public Responsibility that’s exact on June 24.

This is the first of seven such alignments that recur through 2015, in a series that’s bound to pit your need for freedom of personal expression against the demands of the world. Fortunately, Jupiter begins its yearlong visit to your 3rd House of Communication on June 11, empowering your words with a sense of purpose so others will take you more seriously.

Aries Horoscope May 2013

You can make steady progress this month now that action-hero Mars is moving direct. But you may also need to make choices about your lifestyle that you thought you had already handled as Mars revisits familiar territory in your 6th House of Self-Improvement. These deja vu experiences can become more bothersome as needy Venus in scattered Gemini slows down to retrograde in your 3rd House of Communication on May 15, delaying satisfaction and requiring you to repeatedly rehash conversations that you can’t seem to bring to an agreeable conclusion.

The emotional Scorpio Full Moon on May 5 falls in your 8th House of Shared Resources, possibly leading to a disagreement over who owns what. Keeping an open mind about community property is crucial, especially when expressive Mercury enters simplistic Taurus on May 9, prompting stubbornness, no matter what the cost.

Aries Horoscope April 2013

You’ve had your fair share of delays since your key planet, Mars, turned retrograde on January 23. Prepare yourself, though; your life is now about to take off, because the action planet turns direct on April 13. Projects that have met obstacles in the past will begin to gain momentum as you are finally cleared for takeoff. Your creativity is stimulated when artistic Venus enters witty Gemini on April 3, and you’re already on the move when messenger Mercury ends its retrograde period on April 4.

Instead of being forced to go over the details again or to rethink your strategy one more time, you can look ahead and start putting your plan into motion. The amicable Libra Full Moon on April 6 activates your 7th House of Partners, making this a smart time to work with someone you trust to further your goals.

Aries Monthly Horoscope 2013 March

This month kicks off to a noisy start. Although your key planet, Mars, remains in reverse gear until April 13, Mercury the Communicator drives into enterprising Aries on March 2 and conjuncts explosive Uranus on March 5. But the Sun’s tense opposition to retrograde Mars on March 3 is frustrating because familiar conflicts thwart your progress, forcing you into a holding pattern.

A similar message arrives when diplomatic Venus opposes restrictive Saturn on March U and then enters sensible Taurus on March 5, rewarding a slow and steady style. Even fleet-footed Mercury flying through Aries begins to throw obstacles in your way as it heads toward turning retrograde on March 12, returning briefly to supersensitive Pisces on March 23.

Aries Monthly Horoscope 2013 February

This month is all about methodically showing up for the daily grind. Your key planet, Mars, tells the story as he stalls in your 6th House of Routine, emphasizing the regularity of your life. Mars just turned retrograde on January 23, so you’ll need time to accept the fact that you aren’t able to make as much progress as you want. But don’t let panic trick you into thinking that you’re doing something wrong. Instead, settle into steady patterns that work for you and enable you to hold on to the ground you’ve already gained.

You’ll have opportunities to make up for lost time after Mars turns direct on April 13. Be careful on February 1 when the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, stand off in a tug-of-war. If the sweet satisfaction of love seems far away, open your heart to the pleasures around you rather than allowing your discouragement to turn into anger.

On February 3, dreamy Neptune’s shift into compassionate Pisces begins a gradual process that softens your antagonistic approach and increases your patience with others. The fiery Leo Full Moon on February 7 activates your 5th House of Love while romantic Venus enters your ardent sign on February 8, increasing your desires as well as your charm.
