Aries

With Venus retrograde, your heart is looking back more than forward, and an old feeling or familiar face may resurface. You're usually direct, but this week honesty goes further when it comes with patience. A partner might need you to listen longer before you jump to solutions. As the week winds down, a small act of devotion says more than a grand gesture would.

Mercury has just turned retrograde, so a project you thought was finished may come back asking for another look. Don't bulldoze through it. Your courage is most useful this week when you go back and fix a weak foundation. Around midweek, a quiet talk with a colleague can clear up a misunderstanding that has been slowing everyone down. By Friday you'll have trimmed your to-do list down to what really counts.

The Full Moon lights up your sense of worth and your resources, which makes it a good time to see where your money really goes. An impulse buy early in the week may lose its appeal if you give it a day or two. Look over subscriptions and shared costs, since retrograde energy tends to bring forgotten charges to light. A careful, unhurried approach leaves you feeling steadier by the weekend.
