Time to get fastidious and finish those to-do lists, astro buddies. We're entering the last week of Virgo season. It'll be wise to make sure we’ve got all our ducks in a row before the sun moves on next week and social butterfly Libra enters the spotlight.
Mars is out of bounds for a while longer — it’s beginning to feel like life has always been this way (a little slower, a little foggier, just a little...off). That will change early next week when the red planet finds his way back to his regular path.
But this week won't be only waiting and working. We'll need to keep an eye on our tempers, since Mars and Uranus have been in a tricky, volatile square since last week. Heated arguments could spur you to say — or do — something you might regret. When speaking with others, listen first in order to avoid lashing out. Take note of what might set you off and even prepare your responses before entering into difficult discussions.

Aries
March 21 to April 19
How do you find your way through a new city, Aries? Do you rely on the help of strangers and Google Maps, or do you find your own way? Do you plan once you arrive or create an itinerary months in advance? A journey of self-discovery is about to begin for you, and it'll feel a lot like visiting a place you’ve never been before. While your ruling planet, Mars, is still out of bounds, you’ll have the chance to explore parts of yourself that you wouldn’t otherwise. This last week of Virgo season is best spent focusing on smaller details you may be overlooking. What needs your attention in your life right now? Combine this meticulous energy with the current strength of your sixth house of health and work.
The sun is lending favour to your day-to-day tasks, so make sure that you’re working harder and smarter before he enters Libra. Be careful with the words you choose and, if you're feeling restless by midweek, find a way to express your fire through creativity. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you, and remember to consider your loved one's feelings.

Taurus
April 20 to May 20
You’re a tough nut to crack, Taurus, but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to have fun. On Sunday, Jupiter scoots up against Mercury to juice up your collaborative energy. The messenger planet doubles as your personal money planet, while the red giant gives you good vibes and luck — what a prosperous combo. If you’ve got a passion project, join up with a friend and brainstorm on how you can milk that cash cow.
No matter what you do this week, remember to have fun — after all, your fifth house of pleasure is illuminated by the sun all weeklong. Soak up what's left of the September warmth if you can. Keep things low-key (and even introspective) while Mars and Uranus are squaring each other. Mars is still out of bounds, and until he corrects course, you’ll be able to bring spiritual concerns to a head. Review your summer, and pay extra attention to what went down during his retrograde, to get some perspective on his effects.

Gemini
May 21 to June 20
If you’re looking for a new job, you could find a lead from the comfort of your own home on Sunday. Spend time looking for a position and company that inspires you. Your work planet, Pluto, is in a position to lend you some career-related luck, whether you're searching or happy where you are, and you’ll have all week to noodle on your professional prospects and goals.
Take a page out of Virgo’s book this week — get meticulous! Create spreadsheets, update your calendars and make sure to follow up with everyone who gets back to you. Rejection letters can contain invaluable information to help you along your path — tricky conversations with coworkers can lead to inventive solutions.
Your home and family are also highlighted this week with the sun lighting up your fourth house. Spend time with your family when you can and seek their advice when you need it. Be careful with your choice of words while Mars squares Uranus. If you can clear your calendar for any important meetings, reschedule beforehand. Tempers are on the rise.

Cancer
June 21 to July 22
Don’t let your goals overwhelm you this week, Cancer. You’ve got a lot that you want to do, but you need to take a moment to soak in the bigger picture. Your house of communication is highlighted by the sun this week, helping you get your ideas across to your collaborators, friends, and coworkers, clearly and effectively. You’ll need this charisma boost while Mars, your career planet, is still out of bounds. The red planet may have made your work life feel a little, er, unusual this summer, but you’ll be out of the woods once it corrects course later this month.
Be careful if you're considering mixing friendship with funds this week. Your money planet and friendship planet are at odds, so avoid putting yourself in sticky situations — pay your friends back and watch out when it comes to lending. If you feel like you'll be better off retreating to your shell for a bit, that's totally fine. There ain’t no shame in taking some time to yourself to avoid unnecessary stress.

Leo
July 23 to August 22
Sunday is your day this week, Leo! Mercury, your money planet, is sitting pretty at the beginning of the week to help you make any significant financial decisions. Even if you're betting on a sure thing, don’t break out your cash right away. Instead, make educated decisions on what's the right move to make in the long-term. Your ruling planet, the sun, will light up your financial house this week, making even the trickiest money matters more approachable. You're already plenty confident, Leo, but you'll feel downright unstoppable as the week progresses.
Mars has been slowly moving back into his normal path after going out of bounds last summer. It's sort of like the red planet is making his way out of a muddy puddle. Every step he takes toward dry land will boost your motivation. Watch out for argumentative people this week. Confrontation doesn't bother you as much as others, but it could affect the ones that you love. If you’re in a partnership, lend an ear to their frustration and let them be heard. Compassion is key.

Virgo
August 23 to September 22
You’ve been going strong with the sun lighting you up, Virgo, but remember when to hit the brakes. You might want to rein in your precise and practical nature this week, especially if you sense your urge to criticise starting to bubble up. While Mars and Uranus are squaring each other, people might find your tips and suggestions to be more nit-picky than constructive.
If you’re in a relationship, be careful and caring with your partner — fiery Mars guides your sexuality while visionary Uranus is in charge of your health and work. If you’re single, choose your casual meetups wisely — it'd be a pity to burn a bridge before it's fully built.
On Sunday, your career planet, Mercury, slides up next to your planet of home and family, Jupiter. It’s a great day to get out of the house and explore. Go on a hike, take in the colour changes in nature, find inspiration, and return to your routine feeling refreshed. Spend the evening reaching out to people you’ve always wanted to work with or make something with your hands.

Libra
September 23 to October 22
Single Libras, has this summer been "interesting" for you? You should all get together and create an Instagram account (or burn book) with the stories from your dating lives while Mars has been out of bounds. If you'd rather not revisit your recent romantic escapades just yet, rest assured that your love life will soon be back on track.
Until Mars is done hanging out on the outer limits of normalcy, you might as well join him. Don't do anything just for the story, but sometimes acting against our regular type can help us realise what we really want. Attached Libras, it’s just about time to break out of your relationship funk. You’ll be back in the mojo zone next week when the sun enters your sign. Until then, reflect on what your relationship needs and how you can communicate that to your partner. Bring issues up gently and give them time to talk, too. With this approach, they’ll totally be vibing with you.

Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
It may feel like you just hit a huge reset button in your life, Scorpio. Mars has spent all summer working behind the scenes since to prompt an enormous shift in your life. While the red planet introduces you to your “new normal” this week, be patient with yourself. And, given the tricky aspect between Mars and Uranus, be very careful in your interactions with others. Those around you might not be feeling their most agreeable and you might be feeling a little sensitive, too. You tend to seethe rather than speak, Scorp, so find an outlet for your frustration if conversations grow taxing this week.
Uranus is in charge of your home and family life and it's asking you to make your space more safe and serene. Virgo’s energy this week will help you pinpoint areas for improvement and get down to business.

Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
The week starts strong when Mercury and Jupiter are sextile, Sagittarius! Your career and love planet, Mercury, is ready to help and support your ruling planet, Jupiter. If you lean into this energy, your vibe will be all sunshine and rainbows — could it be time for a last-minute weekend getaway or an overdue hangout with friends?
This week, be aware of others emotions while they're still navigating the Mars-Uranus square. It’ll be rough for those around you, but your resourceful nature will come in handy. If a friend comes to you for help, together you'll be able to find a solution to their woes. Tap into your network this week if you’ve set a lofty goal recently. If you're the one who needs a little help, ask for it. Your company and candour is their reward.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 19
On Sunday, try to create a sense of calm when Mercury is sextile Jupiter. Your planet of spirituality and your planet of health will worth together and help you clear your mind for the week ahead. Lately, your home and family life has been bearing the brunt of Mars’ woozy out of bounds energy. As he figures out how to get back into the groove, you’ll start to feel steadier at home. Let the furniture rearranging and dinner party planning commence.
Mars is currently squaring Uranus, meaning your planet of home and family is at odds with your financial planet. So, even though you might be rediscovering your domestic rhythm, a tiff with a relative could still rear its ugly head. Try to remember that these minor issues don't have to be day-ruiners if you view them as learning opportunities.

Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
At the beginning of the week, Jupiter and Mercury are sextile. They’ll be combining their energies to create good luck with communication and connection. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to make a pitch to the powers that be, start on Sunday! Jupiter, ruler of luck and wisdom, is camped out in your house of career, so you might as well make good use of him.
Uranus, your ruling planet, is squared with Mars all week. Uranus is radical, while Mars is all about passion. When they square, they can drum up plenty of tension and frustration. You may need to tread lightly — meaning go easy on those around you and yourself — to avoid a rumble.

Pisces
February 19 to March 20
You’ve probably learned more than a few lessons about money this summer, Pisces. Mars, your planet of cash, is slowing returning to his normal path, but it’s more of a progression and not an on/off switch. On Sunday, your love and career planets will form a favourable sextile. Jupiter and Mercury might differ in size, but when they work together, they can do great things. Don’t snooze at the beginning of the week and use this placement to get what you want, professionally and personally.
This week, do what you can to hang back from the Mars-square-Uranus action. The visionary planet is currently in your travel sector, so if you can, simplify your commute. Everyone will be feeling a bit frazzled, so keep an eye out for unexpected conflicts. And if you end up in a tiff, let your healer's instincts guide you.
