Aquarius Weekly Horoscope - 12-June-2017 to 18-June-2017

Help…air! As much as you love the feeling of belonging, when a group starts laying down rules and restrictions, you want to bolt for the hills. A power struggle could emerge this week as the Sun in your autonomous, flamboyant fifth house faces off with strict Saturn in Sagittarius and your eleventh house of community. A collaborative, “hive mind” idea you agreed to prematurely could start to feel like stifling groupthink. Or, you may be frustrated by someone’s dominating leadership style. Keep that mutinous streak in check though, Aquarius. If you’re going to make an exit, let it be a gracious one. Maybe this IS the wrong crowd for you, but then again, maybe not. Take an honest look: Has your own ego gotten triggered? Although you’re a team player, you can struggle to be part of a squad when you’re not in charge. The Sun-Saturn opposition may be providing a “silver lining” opportunity to practice speaking up and negotiating a creative compromise. After all, there’s a lot of grey area between running the show yourself and handing someone else total control of the reigns. Voice your opinions and create an open dialogue so that others involved can chime in freely. If you’re feeling stifled or frustrated by group dynamics, there’s a good chance that you’re not alone in your angst. Your courageous—and tactful—candor can turn the tide in a positive direction for everyone. Group hug!

On the other end of the spectrum are lone wolf Aquarians who may feel the ache for community this week. No, you might not fit in perfectly with any crowd—you’re far too multidimensional for that! But who cares? You don’t have to be a carbon copy of your crew. Spend the week exploring scenes that speak to your quirky eccentricity, intellect and desire to create positive social change. While you can scout them out online, make a point of socializing in the non-virtual world. FaceTime doesn’t replace actual face time, Aquarius, where you can gather and share energy.

On Friday, spiritual Neptune makes a U-turn in Pisces and your second house of work and money. During this retrograde, which lasts until November 22, you might be motivated to start a five-month audit of your own finances. Neptune blurs boundaries, but in reverse it can actually bring clarity—though it may not come from the most “rational” sources. You might have a dream about an offbeat way to make bank, or you could get an intuitive hit to invest in a start-up or buy real estate in an emerging neighborhood. That said, you’ll also need to keep a more watchful eye on your fiscal choices. Where can you cut back unnecessary spending? You may have to declare a moratorium on designer coffee and summer sandals for a few weeks as your bottom line grows. Setting a big goal can keep you motivated, like an overseas spiritual retreat or money for a kitchen remodel. Neptune retrograde helps you examine your psychological relationship to money. Do you have limiting beliefs, like “Rich people suck” or “No one would ever pay me THAT much”? This retrograde gives you pause to reflect on your higher purpose. And, Aquarius: Is your professional path aligned with your greatest gifts? As the humanitarian of the zodiac, it’s your calling to touch people in a deep and meaningful way. This doesn’t mean running out and quitting your day job, but over these next few months, you might start a training or practice that will help you strike a better balance between discovering your true calling and going through the daily grind.
