Aries Weekly Horoscope

Triple macchiato or lavender-chamomile tea? You’ll feel both tired and wired this week thanks to a trio of planets—Mars, Neptune and Mercury—bundled together in Pisces and your twelfth house. The clash comes from Mars and Neptune, which couldn’t be more different if they tried. Mars is your ruling planet, a fired-up, “let’s make it happen” energy that wants you to put your passion into action. Neptune prefers the dream state, going with the flow and trusting that the universe will provide. One minute you’re throwing paint on the canvas like the scepter of Jackson Pollock; the next, you’re tearing up the canvas and falling asleep with paint on your face. Expect to have many starts and stops this week, and try to accept this as part of the process.

On Tuesday, the 5th, messenger Mercury joins the mix, moving into Pisces until April 12, and making your thoughts reel a mile a minute. Aiiiigh!! You’re going to need to quiet that overactive brain of yours this week, which will require you to get physical. Think: moving meditation. A gentle yoga class can work for SOME Aries, but most of you are too impatient to hold those postures. Turn on music and go for a power walk, jump in a vigorous spin class, or surrender to the DJ and lose yourself on the dance floor.

The twelfth house rules completions, and this cosmic triad will give the urge to clear the decks and overturn life as you know it. Easy does it, Ram. While detoxifying your life is a fine idea this week, you want to pace yourself so you don’t do anything you regret. Think before you start loading up the Hefty bags with family heirlooms, de-friending people on Facebook or tendering a resignation letter. You’ve seen your rash actions backfire before. Make sure you are really ready to let go, not just looking for an emergency exit to avoid uncomfortable feelings. Remember: Wherever you go, there you are. You’d be better off sitting still and parsing through the challenging feelings that arise than trying to escape from them.

A helpful mentor, coach, spiritual advisor or therapist will make all the difference. After all, the twelfth house is all about surrendering to support and the wisdom of others. Yes, Aries, that may be the hardest part to swallow since you’re such a DIY diva. News flash: Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. There’s a reason why all the top athletes have coaches and why the POTUS has a team of advisers. Seek your own personal Yoda(s); finding people to lean on could be the best thing to come of the week. They shouldn’t be too hard to locate, either.

On Sunday the 10th, the new moon in Aquarius activates the team player in you. Your social network beckons you into the fold, and you’ll find enjoyment again in collaborating with others. What do you need? Let your friends be your search party. They might know just the person to introduce you to. A solo project that’s moving at a snail’s pace would benefit from some extra hands and the input of great minds. Start assembling your dream team. The collective could become more formal by the corresponding full moon on July 22.

Got an idea for a website, online store, or blog? The techie beams of this new moon give you the green light to start developing. Plan to hit the launch button on July 22 for maximum reach; or, if you are up and running sooner, publicize your e-offerings near that date.
