Aries Weekly Horoscope

Keep the celebratory vibes going strong until Friday, April 19, while the Sun winds down its final five days in Aries. Is there something left to do on your birthday bucket list? And, we should also ask, is it actually a smart idea to pursue it? Your 2024 birthday season came with a possibly disruptive or nostalgic (or maybe both!) Mercury retrograde from April 1 to 25. So before you force something to manifest, check in with your body, heart and soul—then read all the safety precautions. The time is not optimal for you to do something that will permanently impact your future, at least not at a supersonic pace. Venus is riding shotgun to Mercury retrograde, meeting up in your sign on Friday, so watch out for a tendency to romanticize situations that merit greater caution.

When the Sun heads into Taurus from Friday until May 20 it stokes the embers in your second house of finances and security. Truthfully you may be grateful that you can put the distractions behind you and get back to brass tacks. What bold and inventive new ideas struck you over the past four weeks? Now that Taurus season has arrived, you can begin to put the best of those visions into concrete form and see which, if any, have serious moneymaking potential. Money is a priority during this transit, both making more of it and squandering less. Where can you tighten your couture belt without feeling the pinch too much? What are your best chances for increasing your income—asking for a pay hike, raising your freelance rates or picking up a little work on the side? Ask around, Ram. It could be that someone in your own social network is looking for someone with your exact skill set.
