Your weekly horoscope is here. Comms heat up and hasten up as Mercury zips into Aries, heralding fresh ideas and heated exchanges. Tempers may flare in this volatile yet enthusiastic sign, considering seven planets are flying through Aries by Wednesday; even La Luna joins the fray as she resets anew on Friday. Since Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, with all the vim and vigor for new beginnings, this is a frenetic yet fantastic moment to set intentions and manifest. If you need to pivot with external or inner tides of change, then set that intention and really feel yourself moving into your vision.
Aries is about embracing the new, initiating, and making it happen. So make it happen. If you think about your options, which feels the most exciting and enlivening? Which feels the most dull or lacking in energy? Your inner compass is working perfectly; let it guide you. Give it all you’ve got, believe in yourself, and back yourself. Feel how that fuels you with energy and the sense of open doors to your path ahead. This new moon is merged with Chiron, symbolizing the healing journey, so tend old or new wounds that are exposed over this time. Mentoring through your own experience is not just helpful; it’s healing. Try it if you are ready to give back.
Look after your energy and nervous system to avoid burnout. Feeling the fires of rage? Perhaps you’re not angry enough! Aries, the hot head, rules anger; get in touch with and acknowledge yours, let it power you, and express or release it in a conscious and safe way. Anger is part of your compass—it’s information. Don’t ignore it, but don’t burn anyone with it either, especially not yourself. Remember, energy makes energy. Move your body, test your physical fitness or endurance, work up a sweat, and feel your can-do positivity build.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
A major theme of independent action, energy, and drive crackles and bristles this week.

Out with the old and in with the new, or at least some clearing of old and calling in of new. Practical as always, build on your resources for the win. However, if there’s a place in your life that is ready to really begin fresh, then this is the time to plant that seed and initiate change.

Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Doing things in a fresh new way is favored, or in emerging areas of opportunity, of which there are many. There are also a lot of mirages and hype, so know the difference.
