ARIES

Mar 20-Apr 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

If only you could get a good rest, you’d happily take a deep breath and forge ahead. However, with the advent of the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury in your solar fifth house of romance and children, you might make de-stressing a part of your daily routine. If loved ones do not understand, stick to your guns and show them what poise and good health can eventually offer.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Taurus is going through a time where your credo, “I have”—previously “I own’—is being challenged. The base of Venus-ruled Taurus is comfort, beauty, and financial security. When you lose something, it can feel physical, especially since you’re an earth sign. Know that while Pluto in your sector of spiritual growth takes things apart, it will eventually bring you more than you thought you might ever have.

GEMINI

May 20-Jun 20

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

You’re used to handling family disputes, colleagues who don’t see eye-to-eye, and friends who like to divide and conquer. But for all your negotiation savvy, you may wish others could sort things out for themselves this week. Saturn is retrograde in your work and health sector. You’ll need some secret treats or spa treatments to remind yourself you’re worth it. Indulge a little.

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Caring takes many forms. You may have a nurturing streak, but you’re also practical. If something isn’t going to work, you have an uncanny way of knowing when to let it end. You feel deeply, but consider it indulgent to let sentiment get in the way of what must be done. Because you do care this week, you’ll be able to balance helping others with sustaining yourself.

LEO

Jul 22-Aug 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Lots of endings and beginnings. Mercury concludes his travel through your sign on Friday, as does Jupiter on Tuesday. They meet up in your sector of finance—that’s your money, which you’ve earned and have the right to spend as you choose. Jupiter has a tendency to make things bigger—a plus in this case. Details are important to see and act upon. No question is too small.

VIRGO

Aug 22-Sep 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

Mercury enters Virgo on Friday and Jupiter slides into your sign on Tuesday. This is a welcome relief; if you’ve been asking for answers, you’re likely to get them. Of course, one thing leads to another. With the information now coming towards you, you’ll find a way to stack up your priorities to choose what you want to do with your newfound wisdom and power.

LIBRA

Sep 22-Oct 22

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Have you found yourself being very frank about things lately? No more “on the pinnacle of utter diplomacy”; now, you just want people to get the point. The hot, quick changes of this summer have brought you face-to-face with the deepest parts of yourself. You absolutely have reached the truth of who you are and what values you choose to embrace. Hang in there!

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

It’s time to step into the limelight. Even though Scorpios are born for power, you have a private side—some might even say you’re a bit secretive. You feel deeply and intensely, and people generally have to prove themselves to get past your radar. However, with so much stellar activity in your sector of public reactions, you’re either called to step up in your career or you’re taking the lead with loved ones this week.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 20

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

The flares and intensity have been turned up as the summer rages on. Keep your stance, and if someone or something knocks you off, get back on. This is especially true for Sagittarians who hold onto ideals and are shocked others may not. In acknowledging your emotions this week, you’ll be more productive. Mercury and Jupiter transit to areas where details get results.

CAPRICORN

Dec 21-Jan 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

You’re getting used to death-defying feats—it’s become your new norm. You may not like it, but you’re good at it. This can take place also in the realm of feelings and compassion towards others. Your efficiency is only matched by your visionary take on the future. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it, especially as Mercury and Jupiter enter your realm of spiritual excess this week.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 17

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Trust your first reaction. Thinking things through, taking them apart, and looking at them from every angle … those will come later. Right now you’re soaring into a new realm of experience. Aquarians who feel called will step up to the plate of leadership. Usually, this is in the form of a cause. If you’re in a relationship, your partner may be on overdrive. Find a way to lighten their load.

PISCES

Feb 18-Mar 19

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣

Someone may have a different idea than you, which affects how you approach your work. At the same time, Mercury moves into opposition to your sign on Friday. Jupiter takes aim beginning Tuesday. While this may sound daunting, it means expressing yourself in a big way can bring things back into balance. Your partner may be on the stage, or in the news.
