Aries Weekly Horoscope – Aries Horoscope for the Week From the AstroTwins

WEEK OF August 21 – 2 7, 2023

Your “first-out-of-the-gate” approach to life may slow down starting this Wednesday, August 23, as the Sun exits Leo and your fun-loving fifth house and sets up shop in Virgo and your sixth house of organization, work and service, and healthy living for a month. And remember, Ram: That last piece includes all-important self-care, so take time this week to schedule some appointments for the coming four weeks. It may feel a little unfamiliar—at first—but during this mindful cycle, you may actually start to enjoy operating at a slower, saner pace and having time to smell the roses AND fully recharge your batteries. You don’t want to worry your squad, so let them know everything’s okay and that you’re not ghosting them, just taking some much-needed YOU time between now and September 23. We’re not talking about a four-week juice fast or giving up all your pleasures. Your workload could actually intensify during this annual solar power surge, so leave some white space in your calendar for those unplanned “emergencies” that are almost certain to fall into your lap.

A little later that day (Wednesday), you may begin making some changes in those areas of life—or perhaps picking up some healthy habits you’ve slipped OUT of—as mindful Mercury flips into retrograde, also in Virgo and your work and wellness house, until September 15. What can you streamline, declutter, delegate—or just plain abdicate—during this reversal? Any- and everything you do to lighten your workload, “green up” your eating regime and add more realistic movement into your daily life is a major plus. And selfishly speaking, adopting a cleaner, greener lifestyle will do wonders for your focus and productivity—maybe even your love life, because you’ll feel happier in your own skin. If you’ve been dealing with “mystery symptoms,” consider that it might be your gut. Talk to a practitioner who specializes in digestive health to see if some testing might be appropriate. Just steer clear of blatantly false claims or flash-in-the-pan fads that won’t truly help your wellness once Mercury straightens out next month.

Sunday’s skies are a call to action as your galactic guardian, excitable Mars, blasts into Libra and your house of committed partnership until October 12. Whether you’re looking to officialize a deal or a romantic union, firestarter Mars will accelerate the process. Doing nothing except trying to lure people to come to you is the opposite of the Mars Method. You need to play to your default strength and be proactive—about whatever you want in the way of relationships. It’s always helpful to begin by clarifying your needs and partner criteria. Write it down, being as specific as possible. If you’re in an LTR, your list might be about what can be improved—or what you can no longer tolerate. Stay mindful that Mars could stir up conflict that’s been simmering. The best way to not let it turn into an uncontrolled fire is by calmly and compassionately talking about it. Single? You probably need someone who will appreciate your trailblazing spirit instead of trying control you. (As if!) And don’t pretend you don’t need attention and affection. Name it, claim it!
