Mar 21-Apr 20

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

The solar eclipse can bring a new set of values. Not that you lose them, but you add those that support who you are. Everyone has things they don’t want to be doing right now. Mercury retrograde early in the week just highlights this position. There may be flirting with Venus opposite your sign, but if you’re not in the mood, flatten the playing field until it feels right.

TAURUS

Apr 21-May 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

However busy you may or may not be, you’re going to experience the solar eclipse one way or another. Eclipses tend to undo what is no longer sustainable. They can ignite a life-changing event. The effects take about three to six months, so you can be prepared before you’re in the midst. Work may hit a high note. Love and romance pull from every direction.

GEMINI

May 22-Jun 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

The solar eclipse this week hits right in the fourth house of your chart. And this means what, exactly? Anything you have been working on, especially in your home or your diet, may undergo a transformation. It doesn’t always happen right away. Eclipses tend to occur with a three to six month time reference. This one strives for balance. Are you ready to let go and move on?

CANCER

Jun 22-Jul 23

♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣

If you could do it differently, would you? Some things are set up so that no matter how hard you try, things will not go as planned. That’s why this week is so interesting, with Mercury going retrograde, followed by a solar eclipse. What has traditionally been expected may not be allowed to continue. This eclipse brings communications from everywhere. Including your intuition.

LEO

Jul 24-Aug 23

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

Leos, leadership, luscious locks, or longing for them. Does any of this apply to you? Mercury goes retrograde, Venus promises you the earth. Then there’s a solar eclipse. That’s a lot of activity to fit into your week! Look for an upsurge in financial potential. What was previously believed is going into flux. Three to six months after this eclipse, things could be very different.

VIRGO

Aug 24-Sep 23

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Life is changing for Virgos. Mercury, your ruler, goes retrograde. Two days later, there’s a solar eclipse. Why is that a consideration? Well, for starters, it’s in your sign. It rattles all the right cages. It gives you a three to six month transition period before the seeds have sprouted and the roots have taken hold. You can handle it. In fact, it’s probably exactly what you would like best!

LIBRA

Sep 24-Oct 23

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣

This could be an icky-sticky week, so don’t say anything you can’t back out of. Mercury goes retrograde. Venus enters your sign. Then there’s a solar eclipse! Basically, you have a full docket. The eclipse is in your solar twelfth house, where the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter hang out. It’s ripe for past-life connections, secrets, and daunting dreams that dare to come to life.

SCORPIO

Oct 24-Nov 22

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Things are about to change. You’ve known this for awhile. The path may have been obscured, or seemingly non-existent. Mercury moves retrograde this week, as Venus calmly steps into the depths of your solar twelfth house. Your inner resources are safe. Then the solar eclipse two days later could cast a shadow on certain group associations. Which is actually a relief!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23-Dec 22

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

As hard as you are working, you also need to cut yourself some slack. Simply said, if you’re not ok, that energy will go into everything you do. Mercury moves retrograde this week. If you take the blame for others’ behavior, you’re sunk. Venus begins to influence your connections with friends in a positive way. The solar eclipse brings out a snap decision in your career.

CAPRICORN

Dec 23-Jan 20

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

A business partner or spouse is about to be there for you, holding a lantern so that you may see your way through. Clever of your soul to have set this up, as Mercury moves retrograde this week. Reassessment! Venus enters your solar tenth house. She goes to bat for your career and public standing. The solar eclipse takes no prisoners. Luckily, it opens an escape door for you.

AQUARIUS

Jan 21-Feb 19

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣

Trying to prove yourself may be a theme. Whether reaching towards it or backing away, there’s a focus that follows you around. Mercury goes retrograde, which could muddle up finances. Then Venus enters a sector of your chart where this can be rectified by a shift in perspective. The solar eclipse affects legacies and inheritances for the next three to six months, minimum.

PISCES

Feb 20-Mar 20

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

You can do this. You may wonder how, of course, as Mercury goes retrograde in your solar seventh house of partnerships. Venus brings a treat, as she smooths things over to make sure the auspicious and comfortable is shared. Then the solar eclipse arrives. The focus is on balance in whatever way you can find it. Staying in the center is tricky, though you’re less likely to feel the edge.
