Your Weekly Horoscope Is Here & Aries Season Is Fueling Your Fire

The sun is in courageous, intense, and passionate Aries, and the cosmos are charging you with confidence and self-assurance. As of this week, Mars — planet of action and primal instinct — has entered brainy and talkative Gemini. This is speeding things back up after Mars' slow and languorous tour through Taurus, instilling you with curiosity, cleverness, and a desire for variety. You'll appreciate chatty and chipper change, but that's not the only reason to be stoked about your April 1, 2019, weekly horoscope.

Did I mention that Mercury retrograde is officially over? Let's toast to that, shall we? This retrograde has been particularly tough because it traveled through Pisces, a dreamy and spiritual zodiac sign that tends to make Mercury feel spaced out. Even though Mercury is still easing its way out of the post-retrograde shadow, you're likely still going to be plagued by disorganized thinking and confusion when Mercury forms a conjunction with Neptune on April 2. Even though this can make you feel irrational and directionless, there is a bright side. This transit will also encourage creativity. And, if you were hoping to get some work done this week, look forward to April 7, when Mercury forms a sextile with hardworking and disciplined Saturn.

One of the most important lunar events of the entire year takes place on April 5 at 4:50 a.m. ET. The new moon in Aries jumpstarts a new chapter in your identity, sense of self, confidence, and authenticity. It's time to let go of negative self-talk, inhibiting perspectives, and doubt. Aries doesn't think twice before trusting its gut, and that's why Aries is so famous for their level confidence and bravery. Let this bright and fiery new beginning take you far.

Aries

Mars is now infusing your third house of communication, encouraging conversations. However, you may feel solitary and be easily swayed at the beginning of the week, as Mercury will be in your 12th house of the subconscious as it forms a conjunction with Neptune.
