Half of our planets are making appearances in Virgo, and they’re vibing with Uranus, encouraging us to wake up and make changes.

 

VirgoVIRGO

August 23–September 22

Mercury skips into Virgo this week, giving you a welcome brainpower boost. Use it to contemplate personal matters with savvy objectivity and express your thoughts with flair. Half the planets are paying visits to your sign, and they’re all in perfect harmony with changemaker Uranus in your expansion house, clearing your path for enlivening experiences. You might be attracted to someone unexpected or show a totally different side of yourself — either way, unique individuality will be extra enticing. Interact with a wide range of people who can open up new worlds to you. You can discover what you’re made of by exposing yourself to stimulating encounters and events, so keep your distance from your comfort zone. Seeing things differently will allow you to do things differently. Unfamiliar undertakings have the power to provide fresh revelations about life, and they can also teach you about yourself. Take a trip and look at the world from a new angle. Or start studying a subject you don’t know much about and talk to people who can enlighten you. Venus in Virgo also happens to be in sync with Saturn in your fulfillment zone, underscoring the fact that taking what you have to offer seriously will allow you to put yourself out there in a way that gets you noticed. You’re working to become more and more yourself, and your hard-earned, authentic wholeness enriches your appeal. And courtesy of Venus, you’re radiating charm and beauty; her rendezvous with Saturn will help you to share your genuine individuality, your creative contributions and your heartfelt feelings. Plus, this week’s new moon in your sign invites you to make a fresh start. It’s time to try new things, and you might reinvent your look, launch a bold personal venture or change your communication style in the weeks to come. This lunation is about presenting the real you in a novel way. It represents your very own New Year, so make it count!

 

LibraLIBRA

September 23–October 22

With a cluster of planets tucked away in the last house of your chart, your energy is super low-key at the moment. All of them — Venus, Mars, the sun, the moon and Mercury — are clicking with Uranus in your depth sector at one point or another this week, hinting at the possibility of emotional or sexual liberation. Getting past your inhibitions can bring a rush of closeness, so try going with the flow. Divulging a secret will feel freeing, while wandering around in your imagination can produce an a-ha! moment if you’re ready to get closer to the truth. You might also take a step back from the world and release something (or someone) that’s taking up space in your psyche or your personal life. The nature of these transits indicates that positive change begins within, and trying to grasp what (or who) would best be left in the past will foment progress. Carve out time for quiet reflection because it’s likely to result in eye-opening self-awareness. And confiding in a person you trust can seal your bond rather quickly. Intimacy and self-acceptance are both bound to make you feel light as a feather and free as a bird. Your ruler, Venus, is also vibing with Saturn this week, suggesting that you could end up taking care of a loved one — perhaps a roomie or family member. This pairing also highlights the recurring theme of letting your guard down with someone you care about; baring your soul can provide a sense of strength and security, not fear and vulnerability. And again, shutting the door on a previous chapter of your life (possibly a relationship) will give you much-needed closure. The new moon at the end of your chart also coaxes you to tie up loose ends and put finishing touches on old business in preparation for your coming birthday season. It’s the year’s best lunation for starting a spiritual practice, cracking open a new dream journal, going on a retreat or launching a selfless volunteer effort.


Scorpio
SCORPIO

October 23–November 21

Unpredictable Uranus is clicking with a posse of planets in your humanity house all week, giving your interactions an exciting jolt of energy. Venus is involved, so there might be romantic sparks between you and a friend, or you could meet a fresh prospect through people you already know. If you’re in a serious relationship, you could probably use a night off now to enjoy an epic night out with your crew. You might also connect with someone new while you’re in the process of collaborating on a team endeavor, thanks to the influence of doer Mars. And since Uranus compels us to expect the unexpected, you should give others a chance to surprise you in a good way. You’ll also benefit from being totally yourself, being open to different people and being tolerant of everyone’s idiosyncrasies. You could take on a surprising role in a group when the sun syncs with Uranus, or a relationship might shift in a way you didn’t see coming. Other individuals are acting as agents of change in your life. Both group relations and one-on-one encounters are favored this week, and the odds of forming new connections are quite high. So whether you want to fall in love, make a friend, snag a great contact or establish some other kind of bond, you should make a point of mingling. Do some professional networking, socialize, attend big gatherings—get out and circulate! Venus’s chemistry with Saturn implies that being around people isn’t just about having fun. You’re meant to create lasting bonds, find mentors, learn from others, express yourself honestly and discuss matters of substance. And if you’ve put off having an important talk with a friend, this could be the time to grin and bear it. A new moon puts even further emphasis on casting a wide net and welcoming fresh faces into your life. You might soon join an organization, get involved in a humanitarian effort or add something to your bucket list.

 

SagittariusSAGITTARIUS

November 22–December 21

Your ambition is in overdrive, thanks to the fact that half the planets are traipsing across your achievement angle, and their fortuitous encounters with Uranus in your efficiency corner this week can help you make significant headway. Be open to new ways of accomplishing what you want to; the more flexible you are in your approach to goals, the more likely you are to earn rave reviews. You can polish your public image or create favorable circumstances in your career and might pull it off in a surprisingly off-the-cuff manner. Keep finding new kinds of work and new ways of working — and operate independently if possible. Pursue your aims via methods that pique your interest. Showcase an uncommon skill. Be productive, not predictable! A change in your routine, skillset, responsibilities or work ethic can enable you to shine. Be ready to adapt to circumstances and break old habits. You can communicate with authority figures in a fresh way, articulate a new approach, plan the next chapter in your career, put a different aspect of your work on display and take on creative challenges that stimulate you. Success isn’t all about elbow grease, especially now. You need to promote yourself, look the part, attract the right people and demonstrate personal flair at times. Venus and Saturn are presenting a united front, indicating that solid PR will strengthen your conviction that you can become self-sufficient. Be sure to use your resources wisely — anything from a latent talent to an advantageous contact will come in handy. With a new moon rising in your achievement angle as well, this is a good time to set new goals; embark on a fresh chapter in your career; change the course of your life path; create a business plan; transform your image; take on a leadership role; or assume bigger responsibilities. You might find yourself in the spotlight soon, so be ready to make a splash.

 

CapricornCAPRICORN

December 22–January 19

Uranus is in favor of spontaneously saying yes to anything and anyone that will push the envelope, and this week, he’s gelling with several planets that are ensconced in your exploration zone, upping the stakes even further. Indulge in liberating pleasures by dating outside your comfort zone if you’re single or enjoying an unfamiliar experience — like a trip — with your significant other if you’re attached. You might be drawn to someone quite surprising under this influence. Find new ways to enjoy life, because an impromptu adventure or romantic encounter has the power to excite you and even change you. Your own thirst for learning, travel and stimulation is pushing you to broaden your horizons in whatever way you can. If you can’t manage to skip town, the seemingly simple act of exposing yourself to ideas, beliefs, people and cultures you’re not acquainted with can be exhilarating. Look for different methods for getting out of your routine; you’ll love looking at the world with fresh eyes now. Thinking outside the box and trying new things will pay off in unexpected ways. This is the right time to broaden your definition of fun, love, happiness and beauty to encompass more of life’s possibilities. Venus is in cahoots with Saturn in Capricorn, giving you further incentive to sample fresh delights. Visit a place you’ve never been to before, go out with someone you’d normally swipe left on or follow some other tempting whim. Saturn’s stabilizing influence practically guarantees that coloring outside the lines won’t be foolhardy. And the new moon double dares you to take a leap of faith for the sake of personal growth. Plan your next big adventure, embark on a new course of study, adopt an optimistic mantra, create a vision board or launch an entrepreneurial venture. This lunation can inspire you to paint a hopeful picture of your future and take risks to make it a reality.

 

AquariusAQUARIUS

January 20–February 18

Your ruling planet, revolutionary Uranus, makes magic with five planets in your depth-and-merging house this week, daring you to share your private self. You might reveal your innermost emotions, and opening up is sure to help you feel seen and understood. Sex can also be an emotionally revealing experience now, so it’s especially important to trust the person you’re with. Flying solo? Introspection and confiding in someone who’s known you forever can jolt you out of an old emotional pattern that’s stunted your growth and allow you to understand yourself better. You’re full of super-intense energy, and the planets are offering you suitable outlets. You might opt to throw yourself into a project that improves your living situation or probe your psyche for clues to breaking free from the past. Or do some digging into your family history to gain liberating answers. You’ll definitely benefit from spending time alone or with loved ones and should pay attention to the subtle nuances of what’s going on inside you or between you and another individual. Seek out insights that will drive positive change. You’ll get a sense of release when you delve into something dark or hidden and free yourself from the weight of keeping it buried. Making the choice to love and accept your true self can lead to a powerful internal shift. It’s the perfect time to unpack emotional baggage! Plus, Venus is meshing with Saturn in your spirit sector, persuading you to overcome your hangups — and perhaps close the book on an old relationship — in order to enjoy an intimate connection with a partner or pal. Don’t beat yourself up for mistakes you’ve made; guilt doesn’t serve anyone. Release whatever is burdening your soul and welcome love into your life with open arms. The new moon alludes to the potential for a new sexual relationship or a fresh outside resource like a loan, grant or inheritance in the weeks to come.

 

PiscesPISCES

February 19–March 20

AriesARIES

March 21–April 19
