Aries
Stop swallowing your anger and pretending everything's fine. If someone's been acting shady, today's the day to torch the BS and talk it out. Whether it's your partner, your ex, coworker or bestie—you're not anyone's therapist. Get honest. Say what needs to be said and don't soften the blow. You're not a doormat, you're dynamite. Light the fuse.
What a difference a few days can make. Just days after clashing with Mars in your relationship sector as it made its monthly visit to Aries, its return to your communication sector today puts them into a friendly aspect. It was this time last weekend that Mars was just starting to separate from a friendly aspect to Uranus in your communication sector, though at the time he was getting pushback from planets in Aries that were putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure. A week on and the conditions couldn't be more different.
What a difference a few days can make. In the 10 days since Mars returned to your relationship sector, he has twice faced pushback when it comes to a balance between your own and your relationship needs. The most recent was just a few days ago, as the Moon clashed while moving through Aries. All that changes as the Moon not only returns to your communication sector today but into a friendly aspect to Mars, with a chance to give anything flushed out a voice.
Wanting an easy life, you make compromises with your lover, giving way to their desires. However, in doing so, you may forgo some of your own needs which you're reluctant to do. There comes the point when rather than suffer any resentment; you make a stand, which in the end benefits your relationship.
With a short firebreak between Mars’ departure from your busy work sector last week and the Sun’s return next week, even the professional gods are encouraging you to make the most of any chance to keep your work hat off over the weekend. As well as a chance to feel refreshed and ready when the Sun turns the solar spotlight onto your work situation, job matters and options, this is a chance to first process the journey so far.
At the same time that the Moon is wrapping up its monthly visit to your income sector Venus, the planet of money has moved into a friendly aspect to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your financial sector. Where a clash between the Moon and Juno yesterday may have created some financial tension, today’s stars are turning this into motivation.
You’re fit and capable, but may suffer lapses and be creating problems of your own. Unfortunately, you’re inclined to neglect yourself and are slow to address problems or resolve them satisfactorily. Because of bad habits, you thought had been cured, that are emerging again, you try your best to resolve these issues.
