Since Aries Time features a retrograde (backwards) communications cycle, followed by ruler Mars going “retro”, from June 27 to August 28, nothing should be rushed. Change-agent Uranus leaves Aries, making helpful, earthy links with Saturn through August and September. Your career cycle becomes more fruitful, boosted by a Full Moon in Aries on September 25. The feminine powers of receptivity and sustenance support you, offering tools that transform and nourish.

As a Fire sign, prone to sudden bursts of energy, the more flowing rhythms of 2018 bring balance, ensuring heart health and wellbeing.
