Aries Weekly Forecast

By the time you move into the new week, it has been a month to the day since Venus returned for what is normally a 24 day visit to Aries and with it, a chance to give your heart a voice and a say in what you want from your new solar year. Yet Venus is not only still here but over the weekend turned retrograde, something that will keep her here until later in the month. This is all due to Venus' early return, which was so far ahead of the Sun, who is still nearly three weeks away, that has to wait. That will also be the case for Mercury, who will return to Aries on Monday for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open moving into your new solar year, but instead will turn retrograde later in the month. Both will still be here when the Sun finally returns to begin your birthday month and new solar year, giving you a chance until then to put on the same page and even go back over old ground.

As you move into the new working week Venus, the planet of love is settling into her first full day in retrograde motion in Aries, with having the Moon here helping to ensure you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. A week after Mars turned direct and started to head back towards your romantic sector, instead of leaving this is going to keep Venus in your sign until later in the month. By the end of the month, Venus will be back in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, where she will once again be able to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane. A direct turn next month will eventually bring Venus back and by then, Mars will be in your romantic sector. Apart from opening the doors to the past, this is allowing Venus to drag her heels, something that will ensure that long after she should have left Aries, she won't miss out on Mars' return to your romantic sector.
