With Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto gone retrograde this week, our collective momentum might stall out in the midst of adjusting to a new (temporary?) normal. Meanwhile, the Moon’s tryst with Mars and Neptune has us bouncing between impulse and delusion. Embrace the challenge, star child, by shining ever more brightly despite night’s encroachment. Planetary influence is guided by the choices you make. Make love while the Moon shines… but lay off the moonshine.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Nobody likes being told to relax. That said, with the Moon antagonizing ruler Mars, we suggest you channel any unruly energy into cleaning the tub — followed by a nice long bath.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
With ruler Venus gone retrograde in Gemini, the easy flow of love may hit a few snags. Nothing to snafu about. Course correct with correct communication to restore smooth sailing.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Ruler Mercury comes home to roost in Gemini — and you can’t stop clucking about it. Instead of flapping your wings at the rumor of foxes, go peck around the hen yard to distract yourself.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
The beginning is nigh, Cancer. With ruler Moon in Aries, tap into a strong urge to start fresh. Spontaneity is the mark of the divine, while reckless impulses are the road to hell.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
You love a healthy challenge — just try not to be challenging. With ruler Sun square Mars, the potential for conflict is near. Challenge yourself to compromise. If tension persists, you know what to do.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
TBH, Virgo, you’re not much of a sweet talker. And with ruler Mercury snagging on retrograde Venus, you’re more Lothario than Romeo this week. If words fail you, let music speak… over you.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Listen, beauty. If you’re seeing Quasimodo in the mirror, look again. Then look twice before leaping into any love affairs. Ruler Venus square Neptune is making it hard to see things as they truly are.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Destruction is an important universal force. However, with ruler Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, any destructive behavior gets checked hard by the need for self-preservation. Let go of bad habits.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
With ruler Jupiter retrograde in Capricorn, you might be tested to make sure you’re ready for the next stage of your personal growth. Shake off any complacency along with any doubts.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Karma’s an unfriendly word. With ruler Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, past decisions may attempt to haunt you. These are merely specters meant to test your mettle. Don’t spook so easy.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
With ruler Uranus square Saturn retrograde, the “new normal” is yours to define, once you realize that being out of step with what’s normal is simply marching to the beat of your new drum.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
With the Moon crossing wires with ruler Neptune, you’re picking up mixed signals. Filter out the noise of your delusions so you can continue to be both empathic and telepathic.
