What is the Aries horoscope for the week of May 11 – May 17, 2026?

The New Moon lands in your money house Friday — not a windfall, but a real opening to name what you want to build and mean it.

When is the Aries weekly horoscope updated?

The Aries weekly briefing is updated every Monday morning, covering Monday through Sunday. It is hand-written editorial — not auto-generated.

What is the difference between a daily and a weekly horoscope?

A daily horoscope tracks the moon and shorter-cycle transits day-by-day. A weekly horoscope frames the longer arc — ingresses, retrograde stations, lunations — that shape an entire seven-day chapter. The weekly briefing for Aries highlights what is moving in the sky and how it lands for Aries specifically.

Aries — This Week

Q: What transits affect Aries this week?

Mercury in Taurus (May 3 – May 17): Mercury in Taurus slows communication down to something useful — words chosen carefully, ideas tested against the real world before they leave your mouth. This is a good time for decisions that need to last, for conversations that deserve more than a quick reply. New Moon in Taurus (May 15): The New Moon in Taurus on Friday invites a grounded reset — one rooted in the body, in comfort, and in what you genuinely value. Set intentions that feel earthy and real, not abstract; this lunation responds best to simple, honest desires. Mercury in Gemini (From May 17): Mercury arrives in its home sign of Gemini on Sunday, lifting the pace of thought and conversation after weeks of measured Taurus deliberation. The shift is subtle this weekend, but a new curiosity begins to stir.

✦ For Aries

What this week is asking of you

Mercury is moving through your second house of income, possessions, and personal values all week — and on Friday, the New Moon lands in that same house. This is one of the more useful financial reset points of the year for you. Not a windfall, but a genuine opening: what do you want to build, earn, or own in the months ahead?

Mercury in Taurus slows your usually fast-moving mind when it comes to money matters, and that's actually a gift. Contracts, budgets, conversations about what something is worth — all of these benefit from the patience Taurus lends. Think before you agree.

By Sunday, Mercury moves into Gemini and your third house, quickening your local pace — short trips, sibling conversations, and everyday communication pick back up. Use the earlier part of the week to plant the financial seed before the energy shifts toward motion.
