Aries (Mar 21–Apr 21)
While this week’s Aries agency is tempered by Tauran caution and lightened and brightened by Gemini humour, it forms a pretty winning astrological recipe. However, Mars in your sign requires you to find the sweet spot between self-assertion and teamwork, aligning your goals with the bigger group vision so everyone wins.
Taurus (Apr 22–May 21)
This week’s focus on financial security suggests making spending and saving pleasurable by supporting ethical businesses. Then, when the sun and Mercury in your sign are joined by this weekend’s annual Taurus new moon, tune into the practical magic of your body and the important things it’s telling you.
Gemini (May 22–Jun 22)
We all know by now that digital distractions are designed to magnetise our mental real estate — our attention — away from what matters. This week’s good news is your ruler Mercury in its most persistent and purposeful, confident and logical placement bringing the gift of stability and practical planning. Don’t waste it.
Cancer (Jun 23–Jul 23)
There isn’t anything better for your body, mind and spirit than time spent in nature. Every day, amid individual and global struggles, we can be nourished by the world around us. At back-to-basics weekend new moon, reassess what’s most important to you as conditions change and priorities rearrange.
Leo (Jul 24–Aug 23)
This week’s predominance of planets in the first three zodiac signs highlights Leo’s personal sector of colleagues, ambitions and winding up life cycles. But no need to go all game of thrones, majesties: Think more along the lines of grateful goodbyes, because changing professional landscapes need sensitive handling.
Virgo (Aug 24–Sep 23)
With your ruler Mercury in its least flexible mode, it’s important to keep an open mind for overcoming any resistance to new and different ways of operating. Weekend new moon asks the questions: What old way of working are you ready to release, and what new service wants to be expressed through you?
Libra (Sep 24–Oct 23)
While the current sun and Mercury reward steady, repetitive effort, your guiding planet Venus just wants to socialise, party and shop for the latest up-to-date styles and fun stuff. Which means this week’s Libran balancing act is weighing luxe comfort spending against pragmatic realities — good luck with that.
Scorpio (Oct 24–Nov 22)
It’s natural to want to maintain a familiar, manageable world, but when circumstances change it’s also necessary to recognise where we resist the new and uncertain. This week’s astrology asks what areas of your life need adjustment, so you can step into unknown territory of unfamiliar risks and opportunities?
Sagittarius (Nov 23–Dec 21)
With Mercury passing through one of its bluntest communication styles and your planet leader Jupiter in its most sensitive and easily offended placement, best resist the temptation to drop truth bombs. To paraphrase the famous stoic Marcus Aurelius, you always have the option of not having an opinion.
Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 20)
With your planet ruler Saturn in the zodiac’s most driving sign for the foreseeable future, you won’t want to feel driven, so allow yourself to be drawn towards something new that feels a bit different, not the same old expectations. And incorporate some cruising and schmoozing this week, hardworking Capricorns.
Aquarius (Jan 21–Feb 19)
Even though you’re a fixed sign, Aquarians are the zodiac’s least likely people to resist change. This week’s astrological energies are asking you to consider the fact that others who are more attached to the status quo than you are in their own process, moving at their own timing.
Pisces (Feb 20–Mar 20)
This week’s Piscean assignment in life’s mystery school is to turn your inspired ideas into practical plans. And with Mercury energising the zodiac’s most tenacious, practical and determined sign there’s plenty of celestial assistance available if you can do the hard yards and keep your eye on the prize.
