The stars invite transition. Fine, you say: things are constantly shifting, changing, and creating friction in the cosmos. But sometimes the effects are subtle, and other times they come with a bang. Be ready for a bang.
This week we get the first taste of a transit that happens only every seven years, as Uranus moves into Gemini. And it’s happening on a larger scale than we’ve seen since the 1940s. Uranus is the planet of innovation, rebellion, and sudden change. Think about what gems were produced in the 1940s — the microwave oven, the color television, and the atomic bomb.
What new and world-altering things should we expect from this era of societal change?
I certainly don’t have the answer, but one thing is for sure: change is inevitable.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
To be disillusioned, you have to buy into the illusion to begin with. Your fraud detector is good, and you should trust it. Otherwise, you may end up kicking yourself.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
You’ve been nestled into your place of comfort and luxury for long enough, Taurus. It’s time to emerge back into the social scene and get some intellectual stimulation. Connect with others in a mindful way.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Sometimes you end up being the center of attention, thanks to your wit and charm. The spotlight yearns for your presence. Why not give the people what they want?
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Good for you and your balance, depth, and ingenuity. Try to see the mistakes of others as opportunities rather than impositions. Be patient. You don’t have to share in their failures.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
To get back to yourself, you need to connect with the places and people who allow you to explore all your own angles. We never see ourselves fully, but it can be good to take a look through the eyes of others.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to take up time. You’re allowed to express yourself with confidence. Expecting perfection from yourself isn’t kind. And above all, you’re allowed to be kind.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
This week you’ll begin to find your way as you navigate the social scene. You know how to be “on” and how to balance the vibe in any room. While that’s not your job, people will be glad for it.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Work on incremental improvements on whatever part of your life demands the most attention. You can’t expect things to get better all at once. The question for you this week is this: Do you have the patience to improve your circumstances?
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Kindness and empathy nourish both the giver and the receiver. Since you need that right now, focus on your home, family, loved ones, and support structure. Be there for each other.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Taking responsibility for your home life and the environment you create will do wonders for your mental health and that of those you share your space with. You’re not perfect and neither are they, but you can make it work.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You’re entering new territory, or at least you haven’t been here in a long time. But for you, change is empowering. Notice that your presence is needed in social circles to help everyone navigate these times.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Getting back to basics will help you find what you’re seeking. Make an effort to reconnect with people who have been there for you in the past but whom you’ve lost touch with along the way.
