This week the Sun trines Mars, squares Saturn, and moves into opposition with Jupiter. Those influences may have you feeling like you’re juggling lead weights. Not only that, but the Sun is soon to enter a conjunction with Mercury, which is once again retrograding. Your mind may not be up to handling any big problems in the coming days.
Even if you like a challenge, it would be wise to block off some time on your calendar to take a breather. This is especially the case for Sagittarius, Virgo, and Gemini.
And when Venus is in Capricorn, it’s wise to avoid dropping big bucks on frivolous things, especially if those shopping cart items are for yourself. Taurus and Capricorn need to be particularly careful in this regard.
Burnout, unexpected expenses, and shifts in employment are all possible this week. Take it slow and start making lists of what can be tackled later — we all know how hectic this time of year can be.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
If you find yourself getting involved in other people’s projects and goals, try to pause and consider your desire for self-actualization. This will help you discover what’s been blocking your path.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Focus on your coin purse this week. Prioritize income so you can achieve the levels of comfort and fulfillment that you deserve. Pay yourself first. The rest will follow.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Take a step back and give yourself time to look up at the stars. No need to get too caught up in attaining the heights of ambition. Let yourself dream for a bit. Drift and float in a place of uncertainty. Not everything has to be resolved right now. You’ve got time.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
You can see through fakery even on the darkest of nights. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking you’re wrong when you know in your gut that you’re right.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
This week will challenge your ideas of rules, restrictions, and responsibility. It’s not that you’re unwilling to accept the rules of the game, it’s just that you’re unable to accept defeat.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
If you keep working yourself like this, you’re going to end up burned out. Don’t get so caught up in the details that you’re ignoring what you need. You must be practical, especially when you have such lofty goals.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Don’t let your judgments divorce you from your responsibilities. It’s easy to get stuck on an ideal, especially if it’s for a just cause. But let humans be human. A good judge knows when to be merciful.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
You’re entering a new chapter, though it may feel like the last one was left unresolved. As you’re driving forward, don’t spend too much time looking in the rearview mirror, or you’re going to crash.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
This week you’re prone to mistakes, especially if you’re letting your emotions take control. Why are you in such a rush? It’s your birthday season; give yourself a break and enjoy.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Focus on your finances and making sure you’re taking care of yourself. You’re going to end up in a mess if you keep directing your attention outward.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
If you’ve been checking off your to-do lists, you should be in a good place. Now it’s okay to do something nice for yourself.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Something should have clicked into place recently; if not, that’s on the horizon. This week is all about finding your stride and keeping pace. With the right structure, you’re ready to start making significant progress.
