This week, we’re winding down with the waning moon. It’s time to consolidate our projects! Towards the end of the week, Venus squares Mars, setting the stage for potential tension. Case in point: You may suddenly feel inspired to express emotions you've been holding back for a while. Ride that wave, but don’t let it take you under.
Speaking of the red planet, Mars is still out of bounds this week. Keep your ears perked and eyes peeled for unexpected insights and revelations. Mars' energy combined with the sun in detail-oriented Virgo, we’ll be seeing very clearly this week.

Aries
March 21 to April 19
Your challenge is to keep your energy up this week, Ram! And you won't have to tackle that goal alone: Your sixth house of health and work will back you up, thanks to the sun’s focus. If a new industry or occupation catches your eye this week, trust your gut — inquire and apply as you see fit. Mars’ out of bounds mojo may put you on a whole new career trajectory.
This weekend, Venus will square with Mars, pulling you opposing directions. Your feelings of hate and love may flare up — make sure you're aiming them at the right people. A little precision could result in an especially spicy weekend. Mars will be proud.

Taurus
April 20 to May 20
Bathe yourself in bliss this week, Taurus. Your fifth house of pleasure is illuminated by the sun, urging you to seek satisfaction and reminding you the summer isn't quite over. Get out of the house and enjoy it. It’s a house party on Thursday when your money planet, Mercury, starts stirring the pot. This is you chance to find out how you can make cash (and how you use it) especially enjoyable. Roll with it: Bounce your ideas off friends and collaborate (or start a side hustle) with them.
Your planet of spirituality Mars is OOO — just kidding, I mean out of bounds — until the end of the month. While he’s ignoring his vacation emails you can experiment with your perspective on faith.

Gemini
May 21 to June 20
Sit back and relax this week, Gemini — no, seriously. Take advantage of the change of pace and spend time at home with your family. Your fourth house of home and family is lit up by the sun until Libra season begins later this month. If you need to work on home improvements, Virgo season is the perfect time to tackle 'em, thanks to this earth sign's eye for detail.
While your mind is on your home life, spend some time ensuring your foundation (literally and figuratively) is strong before gearing up to make your next move. Your money planet, the moon, is waning this week. This signals a time to complete your outstanding projects and avoid starting new ones. Before you know it, you’ll be ready to set an intention for next week’s new moon.

Cancer
June 21 to July 22
You’ve got money on your mind, Cancer, but not in the conventional sense of paying your bills. Mercury, your planet of spirituality, encourages to think hard about what you're putting your cash towards. Are you fulfilled? Are you supporting causes and companies that mean something to you? The messenger planet will move on from this house on Thursday.
The emphasis on money matters might be compounded by Mars’ out of bounds placement. Your career planet has thrown you into unknown territory. You’re figuring it out as it moves forward, and soon enough you'll be back on track. The sun, currently travelling through your third house of intellect, will help you make informed financial decisions. Virgo season also lends a precise nature to your actions this week. You’re making all the right moves! Wrap up your big picture tasks this week as the moon wanes.

Leo
July 23 to August 22
You look how you feel better than anyone else, Leo. When you feel happy with your personal appearance, you end up attracting the attention that you’re seeking. Looking to increase your earning potential at work? Pursuing funding for your business?
You’ll find the support you've been searching for thanks to your planetary ruler, the sun. He’s hanging out in your house of finances, imbuing you with the intuition you need to put your best foot forward. Multiply this momentum with your personal cash planet, Mercury, but take advantage of the messenger planet's energy before Thursday, when it will move on from your sign.

Virgo
August 23 to September 22
The final weeks of summertime look excellent on you, Virgo. Is it because you’re such a perfectionist that you never leave a hair out of place — or does that shine of yours just come naturally? When the sun illuminates your first house, as it's set to do until the 23rd, you radiate an intangible glow. Enjoy it — and take advantage of it. Do something special celebrate yourself and your season. As one of the hardest-working signs of the Zodiac, you deserve it.
On Thursday, your sign’s ruler, Mercury, moves from your career zone into your family sector. Schedule a family get together to reconnect with your roots (and hear embarrassing stories about your relatives). Everyone needs a reset from work — even you.

Libra
September 23 to October 22
Have you been having a little trouble in the romance department this summer, Libra? You can blame Mars, your planet of love, since it's still out of bounds. If your dating game feels a bit rusty, consider thinking outside of the box.
If you’re in a relationship, break out of your dinner-and-a-movie routine and invite your partner out for date night that’s anything but basic. If you’re single, you might be feeling frustrated with the singles on the scene at the moment. Spend time with your friends and forget about the hunt for now. You’ll be back to normal as soon as the warrior planet comes back into his usual territory.

Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
This summer has been all go, go, go for you, Scorpio. Consider slowing your roll this week while Mars is out of bounds. The action planet rules your work and health zones and his current distance from the Earth has pulled you far away from your regular schedule. Don't think of this period as a derailment, but more of an opportunity to reroute.
Remember: No one can strategise like you can, Scorp. Tap into your personal superpower and plan out how your want to see your health and career improve. Create a schedule that optimises your time and energy. Soon, people will be asking you what your secret is — and you don’t have to tell them.

Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
Is there something that you need, Sagittarius? Something that you can’t buy or get by yourself? You’re known for being independent, but this Thursday you should call in favours from high places anyway. Mercury, your love and career planet, elevates your ability to communicate your needs.
Don’t shy away from anyone that could assist you in your climb to greatness! Use these Mercurial social skills to 1) appeal to the powers that be and 2) finally get what you want. If you play your cards right, you could even end up canoodling with someone you meet on your personal campaign trail.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 19
Admit it — even you can get distracted, Capricorn. And who can blame you? Your emotions are likely running high while the moon is waning this week. Single? Your planetary ruler of love wants you to determine who deserves to spend time with you.
If you’re in a relationship, you could be coming to the long-awaited end of an important task with your partner. Don't worry — this is a happy ending. As much as your romantic emotions may feel swayed by the moon, you're getting pretty used to this cycle. Set an intention for your next dating or relationship goal when the new moon reveals itself at the end of the weekend.

Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
You’re in a different world, Aquarius (but you knew that already). After all, your ruling planets are far away from the inner planets' hubbub the most of the other signs have to hear about. Because you’re less affected by these movements, you’re able to focus more on your goals. So, what's on your to-do list at the moment? Attack it with gusto this week.
The moon, your planet of health and work, is waning all week. Acknowledge and power through your day-to-day grind, Water Bearer. How can you wrap up this week’s objectives before the new moon begins early next week? This is a time for tying up loose ends.

Pisces
February 19 to March 20
Have you been exploring new creative opportunities, Pisces? Your financial planet, Mars, remains out of bounds this week, and you may be inspired to take on a side hustle or whole new job. But, if you’re feeling a tad stretched, ask yourself how you'd spend your time if it was totally up to you. When Mars returns to his usual sphere later on this month, you just might find a way to make that dream a reality.
On Thursday, your love planet, Mercury, enters your sixth house of health. Meanwhile, the moon, your planet of creativity and love affairs, is waning. It’s a good time to wrap up your plans, take care of yourself, and nurture your closest and dearest relationships.
