Aries

aries1Sabrina’s horoscope: Mars in retrograde all month makes for a new you. Cosmic opportunities appear to facilitate taking pause and reexamining your impulses. This transit occurs in your house of wisdom, seeking, and higher knowledge. Your modus operandi (and Mars’s) can often be to act quickly and be in perpetual motion, yet this month you will find that your ability to watch your reflexes will help you make bigger-picture connections. Maybe you have the chance to be on the other side of a conflict you’ve had in the past; you gain empathy for your prior opponent, now comrade. Drink this in. Venus leaves your house of habit and pleasure toward the end of the month to enter your house of communications—a place where we love connecting the dots, finding patterns, and trying a little bit of everything. You may witness yourself letting go of old habits this month, in favor of a newly expanded worldview.

Dylan’s advice: Your ruling planet is spinning backwards, and you’re feeling like a guy in an office chair furiously scribbling down ideas on scraps of paper, just to ball them up and toss them in the wastebasket, one after another. That’s totally cool—you’re just making drafts with life right now. Be generative with ideas this month. Rather than acting on your go-to impulses, try considering new options. Even if these ideas turn out to be baloney, at least they got you thinking in new ways that only letting go of immediate reaction allows. Try to get into this pattern this month: When new scenarios and decisions crop up, draft a bunch of sketches rather than submitting your first idea as your final one. It’s better to have one great, considered idea on top of a heap of trash ideas, than it is to have just one.
