The pressure valve gets a much-needed release with several transits underway this week. Venus leaves Aries and enters its home sign of Taurus, and both Mercury and Jupiter move from Gemini into Cancer. As all the planets spread out across the sky, the signs are getting some breathing room.
Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion, and it spends about 13 months in each sign, so this is a shift that will last more than a year. While the big planet was in Gemini, growth was defined by communication, curiosity, and socializing; now growth will depend on our emotional well-being and on how we nurture our relationships and our home lives.
Starting this week, think about how to be more caring toward others and consider your family, whether it’s the one you were born into or the one you make for yourself.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
This week you’ll get a master class in how to make friends, or, on the darker side, how to influence people. I wouldn’t start writing a book on it, though. Work on expanding your social circle.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
You’re in your power this week, especially when it comes to deepening relationships and finding strength in personal commitments. While you may not have everything you desire, you can rely on yourself for what you need.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Passion and attraction will take you a long way, but not when they conflict with your personal responsibilities. Some things need taking care of this week; make sure not to neglect them.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Decisions you make — or don’t make — early on in the week will affect how smoothly it will go. Choose a direction and stick to your guns. There’s no use second-guessing yourself.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
You may struggle with your sense of purpose this week and with ways your past experiences affect you. Acknowledge your regrets; that should help you get back on track.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Motivation and drive come easy this week. Your network and social circles provide the fuel you need to get through the tasks on your list. Sometimes a healthy distraction is all you need.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You know the saying: if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. The point is to find something you’re passionate about this week and let it reinvigorate you. Take pleasure in keeping busy.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
This week is about making connections. Networking, team building, and deep personal conversations are all on the table. Not every conversation needs to be weighed down with small talk. Dig in.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Don’t let your pleasure-seeking get in the way of your goals and dreams. All play and no work is not what you need this week. While some tasks may seem dull, that doesn’t mean you can shirk your responsibilities.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Find new and inventive ways to use the resources you have. Take a big step back and make smart choices with your time and money. If you’re frivolous, you may come to regret it.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You’ll start to find your stride and enter that flow state for completing tasks that you’d otherwise find frustrating or annoying. Ride that wave as long as you can. There’s plenty to do, and now’s the time to do it.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Challenges and difficulties are in the way of your growth. You’re at a point where the easy choice is the wrong choice, and, deep down, you already know that. Face your fears head on.
