June 2012 Horoscope Aries

March 21 – April 20

You may have to put some of your social obligations on the back burner while you focus on your career this month. With Mars (your ruler) moving through your work sector, Pluto moving through your career sector, and Jupiter moving through your money sector, you’ll be hard pressed to think about anything else. Emphasis is on building a better mousetrap, i.e., developing and refining your brand. What is it you have to offer that no one else has? Work on cultivating your own unique vision, especially after the 12^th when the Moon moves into your sign and your career and self-expression rulers come together in perfect harmony. There may be a partial setback around the 24^th, when two powerful planets (Pluto and Uranus) force you to confront the discrepancies between your public and private personas. Deal with it now and put it behind you – because as Saturn and Venus turn direct in the following days, you’ll be shifting your attention back to the area of relationships.

Moon in Aries: June 12^rd, 13^th and 14^th.

Aries

March 21 – April 20

You start the month out at a bit of a disadvantage – with your personal ruler (Mars), your career ruler (Saturn) and your work ruler (Mercury) all retrograde. But things straighten out for you soon enough, with Mercury turning direct shortly thereafter and ultimately moving into your sign. Mars follows suit on the 14^th and will be in mutual reception with Mercury at that time. What that means for you – aside from getting your mojo back – is that things will start moving forward for you in all of these areas. Your finances should also start to improve – with Jupiter and Venus both in your money sector and the New Moon taking place there later in the month. This should be a relatively prosperous time for you, starting around the 16^th and culminating on the 22^nd. Focus your energies on that time frame and you’ll find that you can do no wrong.

Moon in Aries: April 18, 19, 20, 21

What are the chances that a new relationship begun before an old one has ended can work? And how does astrology help us determine the potential outcome for each choice?

February 2012 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

This month the past and the present intersect for you in the form of unfinished business with a relationship partner. Whether this is someone literally from your past, or a current partner who wants to rehash old problems, you’ll be called upon to work toward resolution. You can make a lot of progress here – and even make a fresh start – beginning around the 8th when Venus moves into your sign and conjuncts Uranus. The full Moon is in your romance sector this month too. This can shed light on issues that need to be addressed in your personal life and can also force you to assess the roles that people play in your life. It’s not the best time to start a brand new relationship though – with Mars (your ruler) now retrograde, the focus is more on resolving the past than it is constructing the future.

December 2011 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

Right from the very beginning of the month you’ll be met with challenges in your relationships. All three of your relationship rulers (Mars, Venus and the Sun) are involved in tense aspects until the 5th, which are likely to manifest as conflicts with friends and loved ones, and even those on the perimeters of your social circles. Because you’re going through so many internal changes right now, others may have a hard time keeping up. Your primary relationship will take the brunt of all this tension, and any thoughts you have about taking a break will be amplified around the 10th. Just be sure you think about the repercussions before you make any serious decisions. Steps you take now and choices you make can have far-reaching consequences.

Ask the Astrologers: Torn Between Two Lovers

Author: Melodie • Discussion: No Comments

Torn between two lovers — sound familiar? Astrologers are often called upon to shed light on the differences between relationship prospects, as each person’s unique relationship paradigm is spelled out clearly in the natal chart.

Synastry (comparing the planets in two different charts) can provide incredibly accurate details about a relationship’s strengths and weaknesses, and can reveal in-depth information about sexual compatibility, chemistry, communications styles, love and even karma.

Another practice, using midpoints to combine two natal charts into one (called a “composite” chart) will accurately describe the relationship itself rather than the individual parties.

Ambivalent, Disinterested or Commitment Phobic?

Author: Melodie • Discussion: No Comments

This week Melodie addresses concerns posed by Laura, who’s having second thoughts about her relationship with a recently separated man. She struggles with his seeming ambivalence; questioning whether he’s as invested as she is, or just afraid of commitment.

My name is Laura. I’m in love with a man who’s married but getting a divorce. We have such a phenomenal connection, like none I’ve ever felt, but I’m not sure what to make of his commitment to me.

I’m very frustrated with this; it feels like I’m always last. I’m trying to be patient but he’s started dragging his feet again on finalizing the divorce. He says he wants to be with me but doesn’t make the effort. I’m ready to throw in the towel!

I just don’t know if he’s going to finally get his act together and make this a reality or if I should just move on. I would appreciate any help you can give me on this.

~ Laura

October 2011 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

The urge to merge is especially strong for you this month, with a lineup of planets moving through both your romance and relationship sectors. This can be good thing, if you’re single. If you’re already taken though you’ll want to be careful, although you can still whet your appetite for seduction by spicing things up with your existing partner. Nothing gets you fired up and raring to go like an all-out challenge – whether it’s chasing after a new conquest or fanning the flames in old one. Either way, you can expect fireworks to erupt in your relationships. Around the 14th or 15th a competing desire bubbles to surface, and you swing from pursuing your heart’s desires to asserting your independence. Important keywords for you this month are discipline, compromise, collaboration and balance.

Aries

March 21 – April 20

Go easy on family members this month, as disagreements with those you’re closest to are likely to get personal. Misunderstandings abound: feathers can get ruffled and feelings can get hurt, especially around the 10th and 11th. Your ruler in hard aspect to Pluto during that time can set you on edge and make you more irritable and impatient than ever. You’ll make great strides in healing any rifts if you put yourself in someone else’s shoes and try to see things from their perspective. On the 16th, with the Moon in your sign and the Sun, Venus and Mercury moving through your romance sector, you can expect your love life to start heating up. You may rush headlong into a new relationship or fan the flames in an existing involvement. Just be careful not to neglect those who need your attention most.

June 2011 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

It’s time for you to let go of painful associations. You’ve probably been doing a fair job of weeding the dead wood out of your life in recent months anyway. But now with Uranus in your sign and Saturn changing direction in your relationship sector, you’ll be feeling a sense of urgency you hadn’t felt in the past. You may have been holding out and hoping that a partner would change, only to see that it’s you who’s changed. There’s no more room in your life for whatever’s been holding you back – and that includes people, material things, or outdated ideas. It’s out with the old and in with the new for you this month – as you prepare for the next chapter in your life.

Moon in Aries: June 23rd, 24th and 25th
