How are you adjusting to the new vibes, stargazers? We’re well into our first Mercury retrograde of the year, and it’s definitely slowing our reactions and need for speed. Our thoughts are drawn to everything the second house of finances, as Uranus entered Taurus last week to create change and bring challenges our way. The sun continues to illuminate the sign of Pisces this week, keeping us tender and dreamy. A Mars and Neptune sextile arrives on the 10th, arousing our confidence in creativity! It’s safe to trust your gut on Thursday when action planet Mars trines with Saturn, our cosmic taskmaster. Together these planets will build the perfect setting for us to make smart and informed decisions. Friday’s Mercury-Jupiter square could cause some tempers to flare. When these two planets link up, it’s usually a celebratory occasion. However thanks to the messenger planet’s backward movement and ill-suited position, we could experience some miscommunications, unfulfilled promises, and general snafus.
On Sunday, the moon waxes through Taurus until early Tuesday morning. She will be void of course that morning, so save your talking points until after lunch when she enters expressive Gemini. Actions taken during this time usually result as moot points – so conserve your energy! The moon will remain in Gemini until 8.30am on Thursday when she enters a second extended VOC period lasting until 5.49pm. Put your attention on administrative tasks and get organised until this null event passes. The moon springs back into action, waxing through Cancer on Thursday night until Saturday afternoon at 2.03pm EST.

Aries
March 21 to April 19
You might get questions about your beauty routine this week, Aries. If anyone asks what your secret is, credit the positive vibrations that your friends give you. Venus, your personal planetary ruler of love and money, is warming up your 11th house of friendship. Her influence in this house will bring out the best in you as you learn and socialise. They’re the perfect antidote to our Mercury retrograde. Make plans to visit a spa or host an impromptu sleepover with your besties to weather the cosmic storm. The messenger planet is your personal health and work ruler, so don’t try anything too daring while he’s moving backward. Put your best face forward on Thursday as your career planet Saturn trines Mars. The moon may be void of course, but this alignment is too sweet to sleep on. The energy of your ruling planet matched with Saturn will help you to accomplish any task that you set your mind to! Saturn is a great planner, so start your to-do list so that Mars can help bring your goals to reality. Watch out for weird energy on Friday, when Jupiter and Mercury square. Don’t make any promises that you aren’t 100% sure of keeping, and don’t believe everything that you hear. These two planets will be working against each other, so keep your head down until it passes.

Taurus
April 20 to May 20
Your ambition will be impossible to ignore at the beginning of the week, Taurus. The moon is waxing in your sign, helping you to express your priorities to both loved ones and coworkers. The sun will help support you thanks to his illumination in your 11th house of friendship. Our star is responsible for assisting Taurus in matters of home and family. If words escape you this week, take a breather and collect your thoughts. Mercury is in his second week of retrograde, backtracking your progress in financial matters. If you’ve got a contract to sign or a deal to set up, be wary of any documents made that need to be finalised by the 28th. Ask for extensions, or beef up on your knowledge of the matter to make the most informed decision. Your career planet Uranus has just recently moved into your first house of self, preparing the opportunities that will come to you in the next seven years. That’s plenty of time for you to make significant strides in your professional journey. If you’re itching to get going on your next big idea, Thursday holds promise thanks to a Mars and Saturn trine. The red planet is working to create spiritual balance with our cosmic taskmaster, who is in charge of your educational and travel opportunities. You’re all about planning, but have you considered what move you need to make next to feed your soul? A Jupiter and Mercury square on Friday could create tensions around financial conversations – be wary of guarantees made to you, and making them to others. Remember the golden rule of Mercury Rx — slow your roll!

Gemini
May 21 to June 20
You’ve survived the first week of Mercury retrograde, Gemini. So let’s get ready for week number two. Home and family matters that spring up this week should be given special care as your planetary ruler continues to reverse through the sky. Remember that the race towards perfection is all in your head. Take your time with your loved ones, and savour your words before you let them out into the world. You may start to uncover new insights into your faith systems as Uranus, your planet of transformation is making moves in your 12th house of spirituality this week. Keeping a journal could help you to reveal wisdom that was buried deep within yourself.
The moon waxes into your sign on Tuesday morning until Thursday morning. As your personal money planet, she’ll help you to identify any blind spots in your finances. Avoid jumping the gun on Thursday while the moon is void-of-course, as actions taken will likely have little results until the evening when it passes. A Mars and Saturn trine will help you make the right plans and find opportune moments to act. If you’re connected to a partner, avoid serious conversations as Jupiter, your love planet squares against communicative Mercury. If you can let yourself be silly, you’ll be able to enter the weekend as light as a feather! Single Geminis link up with people who share your vest for love. The winter is almost over, and you can feel the sun growing warmer each day.

Cancer
June 21 to July 22
It’s okay to feel a little spacey this week, Cancer. You’re adjusting to a new frequency as Mercury reverses his movement. Ease into autopilot as the messenger planet readjusts your spiritual perspective. If you’re squinting at the bigger picture, you’ll be more frustrated than someone looking at an optical illusion for the first time. Uranus is shaking your professional burdens away this week thanks to his move out of your 10th house last Wednesday. Make friends and socialising a priority this week while he brightens up your 11th house. The moon waxes in your sign from Thursday night until Saturday afternoon, intensifying your emotions. So tuck in and enjoy your own company while she brings out the best in you. Meanwhile a Saturn and Mars trine arrives on Thursday, creating some interesting romantic opportunities for single Cancers. Have you ever considered dating within your professional network? The ringed planet rules your love sector, while Mars helps to bolster your career. When these two planets work in sync, you can lay down plans and action them smoothly. Partnered Cancers might even consider opening up a business venture with their significant other. You’re open to learning more thanks to the sun’s placement in your ninth house of education and travel. Taking your bae on a trip this month could help you both find inspiration that enhances your earning potential as the sun rules Cancer’s financial zone. Embrace your flexibility on Friday when Jupiter squares Mercury. Our largest and luckiest planet is opposing our most communicative one, so anything said on this day should be taken with a grain of salt. If you can avoid overthinking Friday’s conversations, you’ll be ready for a sweet weekend of relaxation.

Leo
July 23 to August 22
You’ve been able to take a peek behind the cosmic curtain, Leo. The insights are brought to you by the sun’s gaze on your eighth house of sex, death and rebirth. Now that you’ve got a grasp on outside perspectives, you can start working on a plan to make your mark on the world. Brainstorm with friends, pick your strategy and embark on your newest journey. Uranus, Leo’s personal planet of love entered your 10th house of career last week, creating the catalyst energy you need to move forward to the status you desire. Don’t forget that we’ve still got a Mercury retrograde in progress before you tear off into the sunset! Work on your plan, and think about how it may impact your financial flow as Mercury is responsible for Leo’s money sector. There are a million great ideas, but how many of them have great execution? Avoid a Fyre Festival situation by getting the details right. You’ll be wise to work on your modesty on Wednesday when the sun squares with Jupiter. It’s essential for you to be confident, but the placement of these planets could have your pride backfire. Thursday is a brighter day when Mars trines your health and work planet, Saturn. Bring your intentions to life, and start small. You’re ready for a whole new era.

Virgo
August 23 to September 22
You love progress, Virgo, but it’s important to remember that all good things take time. Practise exercising patience at work while your ruling planet, Mercury, is in retrograde. Our speediest planet is the planetary ruler of your career zone, making his way back through the sky and your professional life. It’s a motion that happens at least three times per year, helping to mould the work that makes you proud and sustains you. Uranus, your personal planetary ruler of health and work, entered your ninth house of expansion last week. He’s delivering you new experiences over the next seven years to shape your calling. A match is made in heaven, Thursday’s Mars and Saturn square will heat things up in the bedroom. The action planet champions Virgo’s realm of sexuality while Saturn rules your pleasure zone. If sparks aren’t flying for you, work through awkwardness, and the fire will rage! This is an ideal positioning for you to get yours. Remove your sharp edges and bask in the glow of intimacy as the sun warms your seventh house of relationships all week. Shake off any weird vibes that Friday’s Mercury and Jupiter square brings. These two planets usually play nice, so listen to your intuition if something sounds off at work. You can find a work-life balance as long as you learn not to sweat the small stuff.

It’s time for you to do a little backtracking this week, Libra. Mercury is continuing his retrograde, encouraging you to review your spiritual nature.

Last week, innovative Uranus finished up his work in your seventh house of relationships and moved on to your eighth house of sex, death and rebirth. Partnered Libras will be happy to say goodbye to old conflicts, and single Libras will be excited to find new relationship clarity. Uranus' move into your eighth house signals a new era of self-understanding. Be ready to change your worldview, and you’ll be prepared for anything. If you’re in a relationship, mark down Thursday as a night to stay in and enjoy family time. Meanwhile a Saturn-Mars trine arrives, helping to secure a sense of connection. The ringed planet is Libra’s ruler of home and family, while Mars guides love. Pull everyone off the couch as the sun lights up your sixth house of health – your positive spirit will invigorate them. A Mercury-Jupiter square on Friday muddles up some of your messages. Jupiter is responsible for your communication, while Mercury takes responsibility for your health and work. If a surprising subject comes up, make a note to follow up when the skies are clear of conflict. Misunderstandings will work themselves out in time.

Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
Monday’s Mars-Neptune sextile could offer you a new outlook on a home improvement project, Sagittarius. The action planet is joining up with your planetary ruler of home and family, so connect with the most important people in your life at the beginning of the week, even if it’s only for 10 minutes.

The ringed planet rules your finances, which explains your keen ability to save and budget. Fiery Mars encourages you to seize the moment.

If you have a weird date on Friday, don’t write them off. Conversations with potential and current partners are off-kilter thanks to a Jupiter and Mercury retrograde square. Give them the benefit of the doubt, and open your heart. The messenger planet is working double duty in both your love and career zones. If you come up against a misunderstanding at work on Friday, have faith that you’ll be able to sort it out with grace!
