SCORPIO

October 23–November 21

When the sun is in your sign, you’re self-centered in a healthy, positive way and have the energy and will to express yourself. And when Venus is in your sign, your demeanor is generally pleasant, friendly, charming and gracious. The sun can help you to focus on what’s best for you, and Venus can help you to draw in what you want. With both of these planets gelling with Neptune in your fulfillment house this week, love, happiness, creativity, play, humor, affection and self-expression should come more easily than usual. Be your own best ally now, desiring good things for yourself and ushering them in. You have the law of attraction on your side, so use it. Your communication and mindset can also work in your favor, not only because Mercury is no longer retrograde, but also because your co-rulers Pluto and Mars are in your talk sector vibing with Venus and Neptune. Don’t underestimate the power of thoughts and words.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22–December 21

Mercury has come out of retrograde in your network zone, so if you experienced any crossed wires with friends or peers in the past few weeks, they should be sorting themselves out. This week, Merc is syncing with Jupiter in your education-and-outlook house, so networking may help you to learn something that will enable you to make progress, or talking to other people may help you to expand your perspective. You’ll probably continue to enjoy time alone, dwelling in your imagination or communing with your spirit. Solitude is likely to be soothing and comforting. Now that Mars is in your worth house and clicking with Neptune in your foundation angle, it’s a good time to do something with material possessions that will bring you greater calm or make your space more Zen. Whether that means getting rid of stuff or rearranging, your emotional state can give you a clue about what needs to be done.

CAPRICORN

December 22–January 19

It’s easier to connect with other people this week, thanks to amiable Venus and the vibrant sun in your humanity house gelling with organic Neptune in your communication sector. With Neptune in this part of your chart, imaginative, flexible thinking is essential for you. If your mindset is rigid, you’re more likely to feel confused or disillusioned. An open mind and a desire to mesh with others will be beneficial. And now that Mercury is moving forward in your authority angle, interacting with higher-ups should be less tricky. Partnership and research are two ways to send a positive message to your boss. Both Mars and Pluto in Capricorn are holding opportune meetings with planets in your social houses this week—another sign that you can have effective dealings with people if you make the effort. It won’t be too hard for you to get your way now, but remember to wield your power with moderation.

AQUARIUS

January 20–February 18

Keep pouring energy into your career, life direction and achievement this week, with planets in your ambition angle clicking with planets in your worth and releasing houses. Ponder how you can align your spiritual values with your aspirations. A willingness to let go of the past and a non-grasping detachment regarding what you have and what you can get will serve you well. Shine your light, and trust that you’ll be rewarded. Continue to work on accepting a long-term change that you’re undergoing. With Mars in the last house of your chart, this is a good time to work behind the scenes without a specific expectation of credit. It’s also appropriate to act selflessly for the good of others now or to deal with a self-defeating behavior pattern in order to feel better about yourself and open the way to greater productivity and success. With Mercury traveling direct, it gets easier to convey your viewpoint to another person.

PISCES

February 19–March 20

Chances are you’ll be in a good mood this week, given that three planets are harmonizing with Neptune in Pisces. It’s becoming clear that you need to expand your horizons in order to make your dreams a reality. You’re probably itching to travel, have adventures, break out of your routine and learn new things that help you grow. You need to reinforce your dreams with courage, optimism, vision, knowledge and a willingness to dive into unfamiliar waters. This is a time to do things—and think things—that feel like a stretch for you. Now that Mars has moved into your network zone, friendships, teamwork, professional networking, group activities, formulating new objectives and joining an organization can all give you an opportunity to move forward in some way. And with Mercury out of retrograde, dialogue and self-examination will become less fuzzy. If you want to improve your work situation or health now, doing some research will boost your success.

ARIES

March 21–April 19

The emphasis on relationships, closeness and sharing continues this week as planets in your partnership and merging houses gel with planets in your spirit and love sectors. You have the drive and desire right now to get deeply involved with someone—or to dig into something you’re passionate about. The theme appears to be going all in and releasing fears and misgivings. Even if you’re not in a serious romantic relationship, a close friendship also entails closeness. You’re going through a period where you need to be less independent and trust others enough to share yourself with them. Speaking from the heart is favored this week, and you’re apt to want someone by your side to support your aspirations. Mars recently climbed to the top of your chart, prompting you to go after a goal, and his encounter with Neptune hints that you’ll have more success if this particular ambition feeds your soul and serves a higher purpose.

TAURUS

April 20–May 20

Continue to connect with others this week, as Venus in your relationship angle is vibing with both Neptune in your group zone and Pluto in your exploration house. One person could be a companion on an adventure or the link to new friends. Personal interactions will fuel you and remind you that you’re an important part of other people’s lives. The line between you and others is blurred right now—in a good way. Go with the flow, and you’ll fall into a natural rhythm with the people around you. Shared experiences are likely to be powerful enough to shift your outlook, and a deep philosophical discussion could be surprisingly satisfying. If you stand up for an idea or a belief, you’ll click with people who get where you’re coming from. Mars might be making you antsy to travel or at least break out of your routine, so spend some energy expanding your horizons however you can.

GEMINI

May 21–June 20

Your work, health, daily duties and schedule should run smoothly this week, thanks to planets in your productivity house gelling with Neptune in your ambition angle and Pluto in your depth sector. You’re apt to make great headway with a goal if you put all your energy into what you’re doing, really focus intently on it and also enjoy the process. Pay attention to details and don’t take any shortcuts. Your rapport with coworkers and other people you encounter on an everyday basis is probably fairly positive now. Be open to partnering with someone on a project or perhaps getting closer to someone at your job. This is also a good time for doing in-depth work on a current intimate relationship or doing research that will help your career. With mental Mercury in your self-expression zone syncing with expansive Jupiter in your cognition house, you’re apt to hit on a good creative idea when you think big.

CANCER

June 21–July 22

The planets continue to coax you to enjoy life this week, as pleasure-seeking Venus and the energizing sun in your fulfillment house connect with spiritual Neptune in your exploration sector. You’re encouraged to be yourself, but to also get beyond the confines of your comfort zone so you continue to grow and become a well-rounded individual. With two powerhouse planets in your relationship angle, one-on-one interaction is highlighted. Love could transform a connection you have with someone, or a creative partnership could prove fruitful. Don’t go it alone now, because shared experiences will lift your spirits. Even working through a conflict with another person can be positive when you learn something from it and strengthen your bond. If you want to talk about your feelings, self-confidence will give you the necessary push to share honestly. If you fear change in a relationship, you’re probably associating change with impermanence rather than growth. Keep in mind that an unchanging relationship cannot thrive.

LEO

July 23–August 22

You’ll continue to enjoy time at home this week, either alone or with someone close to you, and you could have a very productive weekend working on your place or working from home. It’s a good time to make changes that improve your everyday environment, with comfort, beauty and efficiency all being primary concerns. Self-reflection—possibly involving shining a light on your past—is likely to be very cathartic, healing a wound in your psyche. And if you’re in a relationship, some intimate privacy or working through a problem together can bring you closer. Mercury recently turned direct in your communication zone and is clicking with Jupiter in Leo, so you shouldn’t have much trouble thinking productively and getting your message across. With Mars in your daily-responsibilities sector, you’re probably pretty busy. Take pride in working hard and getting things done. Find a healthy physical outlet for any excess energy you need to burn off.

VIRGO

August 23–September 22

Pleasant thoughts, refreshing interactions, flirting, voicing your affections and creative brainstorming are all favored this week, with Venus and the sun in your cognition-and-communication sector jibing with Neptune in your relationship angle. In addition, Venus is connecting with Pluto in your love-and-happiness zone. Now that your ruler Mercury is getting back up to speed, talking and thinking are much less glitchy, thankfully. Sharing your feelings, your passion, your creativity and your desires with another person can help you to bond with them on a significant level. And noticing the love and beauty you encounter as you go about your day will help you feel connected with other people and more upbeat about life. Mars is in your fulfillment house now—your cue to go for it when it comes to creativity, romance, personal happiness, play and self-expression. Use your intuition to assess your values and priorities and act in accordance with them.

LIBRA

September 23–October 22

Your ruler Venus is dancing through your worth zone, and she has two fortuitous meetings with other planets that bode well for you this week. First, she connects with Neptune in your work-and-wellness house, hinting that valuing what you have and aligning your wants with your needs will help keep you healthy and productive. Her next rendezvous is with Pluto in your roots angle, telling you that a desire to bring in more money and provide for yourself is linked to securing your own foundation and leaving the past behind. Another plus for you this week: Mercury in Libra is clicking with Jupiter in your group sector, enabling you to express yourself confidently and magnanimously with others. So this is a good time for a big presentation. With Mars in your domestic angle syncing with Neptune in your efficiency house, this is also a great time for working from home or working on your home.
