The Sun conjunct Neptune continues, joined by Pluto as it forms a sextile with the Sun later in the week. This will bring tip-of-an-iceberg moments, and we will need to look below the surface to see the whole picture and understand what is happening around us this week.
Jupiter continues its sextile with Saturn and conjunction with Uranus. These planets are playing the long game, teaching us lessons about leadership, power, and human perseverance. We can be thankful that Mars leaves its square with Uranus this week, meaning a potential shift in the dynamics of power and control.
This week will also make clear the necessity of art, as Venus conjuncts Saturn. Pay attention to it, and you’ll understand that art doesn’t have to be beautiful but it should reveal the truth. This placement will urge us to set boundaries in love, comfort, and art — the lesson here being that art needs a canvas to exist on and to endure.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Your quick wit may serve you well this week. Not much is standing in your way right now. Take advantage of a smooth week while you can.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Limitations and roadblocks may rear their ugly heads this week. It’s important to be adaptable and to know when to stay steady and when to adjust course.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Take a practical and straightforward approach this week. Better to be direct with your intentions than to leave them open to interpretation by those who might not understand you.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Regain some of the power you may have lost last week and refocus it inward. You’re in your element; allow yourself to take care of your own needs. You deserve it, after all, for putting up with all those other signs.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
We’re moving through the last waves of those heavy emotional waters. Expect to emerge energized and reinvigorated, as the Sun is recaptured by the fire sign, Aries, later in the week.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Set perfectionism aside and take the bull by the horns, at least this week. You’re a decision-making machine in which practicality meets alacrity. This is no time to second-guess yourself: go, go, go.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Don’t panic! No, really — don’t panic. Things will go smoothly for you this week — if you focus on yourself. Enjoy the calmer waters, and allow others to create their own chaos.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Steel sharpens steel. A good game of chess is what you need, or something to temper your aggression while honing your mental skills. A smart rivalry will do wonders.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Big steps require even footing, and you’ve been setting yourself up for a giant leap. Success takes time, but when you’re ready to make that leap, you’re sure to go far.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
The fruits of your labor are precious and there’s nothing wrong with the fact that you want everyone to know it. You work hard and you deserve to enjoy the rewards.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Open your eyes to the beauty and the possibilities life offers. Don’t let dry old pragmatism or nagging nihilism rob you of the wonders this world has to offer — things aren’t all bleak. It’s okay to tune out the noise for a bit.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
The whole world is not riding on your shoulders, Pisces, even though it may feel like that sometimes. Boundaries and limitations offer you an opportunity to be free of unrealistic expectations. How realistic are yours?
