Your Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries, the review of how power moves through your relationships, especially power outside your control, continues to uncover unpaid debts and skeletons in your closet. Take the time to gather the information you need to handle what you owe, financially or interpersonally.

You might find this to be a bummer, a restriction on your fun. But try to reorient your perspective so you can see how equalizing the playing field opens up more future opportunities. Be open to contact from people from your past as Venus retrograde moves through your house of partnership.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus, your week starts with a lunar blessing as the full moon’s glow continues to shine on you. The focus remains on your relationships this week, with an emphasis on communication. There may be tension between your ancestry and your current relationships.

Take this week to reflect, process, and untangle how your family dynamics shaped your communication style as a child. The shaping of your young mind reverberates throughout your life. With conscious attention, it becomes easier to untangle what’s yours to keep and what needs to stay in the past.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini, not all of your insights are meant to be shared. Bubbling at the intersection of your conscious and unconscious mind, you may find insights about your health and habits. The gold drawn from the alchemy of your mind and body is a gift to yourself.

Don’t dwell on what can’t be changed or the limits of your body. Commit to wellness you align with. Work within the limits of age, physicality, and reality to care for yourself in a heart-centered way.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer, as the Moon loses light after reaching fullness at the start of the week, take yourself home to yourself. Full moons can feel energizing, but remember your tidal nature. As the energy wanes, it’s time to rest, integrate, and dream. Don’t push past your limits; you know better than most how energy moves in rhythm.

Honor this and take time away from the world. You’ve been drawn toward passion and expression. You might feel frustrated by your ability to seal the deal and actualize results. Take notes from yourself and let the rhythm of the Moon guide you.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leo, the Sun’s journey through Scorpio brings light to the root of your being. Tend to your home, your family, and your ancestry this Scorpio season. You’ve already been drawn to examining what’s lying underneath the floorboards of your home. Take this week to start cleaning house, metaphorically and literally.

Your sense of self is expanding, but you need solid foundations to hold this new, bigger you. The tension between growing and supporting that growth may feel strong this week. Think of this like training your body in a new way, with each day opening you up to further evolution and authenticity.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo, the Moon brings attention to your career, ambitions, and legacy as the week progresses. Be mindful of your words, promises, and communication at work as Mercury retrograde continues. You have a tendency to spread yourself thin across many commitments. This is the week to take a step back and let fall away what isn’t sustainable.

Gossip, chatter, and secrets may swirl around you during this retrograde period. Be wary of loose lips sinking ships. You might find yourself choosing self-destructive behavior that confirms your identity in ways that are comfortable but not healthy. Remember, you have the choice to change those patterns, especially once you’re aware of them.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libra, Venus retrograde has been an exploration of your finances, confidence, and how you resource yourself. This week opens in the glow of a clarifying full moon, with Venus back in Libra. Symbolically, she’s beginning her walk out of the underworld.

This can feel like a renewal of self after a period of self-doubt. It’s easier for you to be your charming self when you trust your gift for connecting with other people. That gift is rooted in a true knowing of yourself.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio, happy Scorpio season! As you answer the call to adventure, you meet a threshold, a place between where you’ve been and where you’ll go. In your past, you’ve met monsters that have left their mark on you. This week, with the Sun in Scorpio, you may meet them eye to eye again, but you’re older and wiser now.

A monster reveals what you find as a shadow within yourself, something that moves against the grain of accepted society. This Scorpio season is an exploration of monstrosity in yourself and others. Are the monsters of your past something to fear, or could you sit them down to tea and understand them?

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius, friction can be the spark of creation. Bravery and heart-led boldness can bring what lies in your unconscious to light. As you open the closets that hold your skeletons, remember the ethics that guide your actions.

It’s one thing to say you have a moral spine and another thing entirely to act in alignment with those morals. In theory, you’ve got this down. But Scorpio season may show you where you don’t align with the person you say you are. Treat yourself with the grace and kindness you give others as you shine your flashlight into cobwebbed corners.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorn, as Scorpio season continues, take this week to play and take care. If you need permission to have a little fun, this is your sign. Think of joy as the fuel you need to continue to climb the mountains of your ambitions.

As one of the leaders of the zodiac, you can easily fall into a pattern of all work, no play, until something snaps. Balance your hard work and drive with something a little silly, a little goofy, and totally a good time. You deserve to feel good, too!

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius, Mercury retrograde is here, and you may have already noticed the trickster’s tricky games at work. Back up your files, double-check your emails before sending, and be flexible if someone is late or cancels. If your schedule opens up unexpectedly, think of it as Mercury’s gift. Call a friend to get coffee or go on a walk.

Make this weekend all about self-care. Leave yourself plenty of space for a long bath, a good home-cooked meal, and maybe a little nostalgic comfort TV.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces, if you’ve been burning your candle at both ends, take this week to recognize how far you’ve come. Your movement toward your dream life has been busy, busy. Keep fortifying yourself with trust and keep your eyes on your dreams. Despite your reputation for being the zodiac’s silly space case, you know how to apply your willpower and grind toward a goal.

The goal just has to be rooted in a dream. If you’re feeling lost, take this week to really imagine the life you want. It’s easier to take steps toward living your best life when you have hope to sustain you.
