The transits indicate things are going to be challenging for the next few days, so the best thing to do is cultivate a can-do attitude as you work through the difficulties that pop up.
Squares and oppositions rule. The Sun and Mercury oppose Jupiter and square Saturn, while Saturn and Jupiter maintain their own tumultuous square. These placements are heavy. They mire us in difficult situations and weigh us down with hard choices.
With Venus and Pluto also opposing Mars, we may not feel motivated to resolve issues that need tending. Misunderstandings and the emotions that ensue will seem insurmountable at times.
That’s not to say things are all bad. Mercury trines Mars and sextiles Venus later in the week. This allows us the chance to reevaluate our relationships and offers us the breathing room needed for forgiveness.
It’s safe to assume we’re all having a tough time, so try to react to everyone more gently than you otherwise might.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Navigating your interactions with others will occupy a lot of your attention this week. Look at what makes you judgmental and consider how that is affecting your relationships.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
You’ll need to get creative to keep your energy and momentum up this week. Otherwise, it may be difficult to find the willpower to get stuff done.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Give the extracurricular activities a break for a bit. It’s time to organize your to-do list. Deciding which tasks require your attention may take up more time than completing the tasks themselves.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
The mental fog that everyone seems to be lost in this week is not yours to manage. Pay attention to your intuition and you won’t have to waste precious energy on second-guessing your decisions.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Your time is best spent recuperating. There may be a lot of other things competing for your attention, but consider it noise and listen instead to your deeper needs.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
If your schedule and routines don’t seem to be running as smoothly as they should, let your inner child take the wheel for a while. Explore your passions; the busywork will wait.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You may be prone to outbursts and unreasonable reactions, especially when it comes to managing relationships. Instead of giving in to the emotions of every situation, aim to be understanding.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
There is a lot to be learned from treating conflict as an opportunity to build rather than destroy. Learning the reasoning behind people’s thinking can provide insight.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
I’d love to sugarcoat things since it’s your birthday season, but this week has the potential to be difficult, especially if you haven’t done enough work on healing past traumas and emotional wounds. Be kind to yourself.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
If your priorities are out of whack, you’re going to find yourself in some difficult situations. Focusing your attention on your loved ones will make all the difference.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Let your friends and loved ones teach and guide you. If you’re open to the lessons they provide, you’ll get the most out of the coming days.

Feb. 19 – March 20
Look for the purpose hidden in the beauty around you. Be grateful for the art that decorates the walls of your life. It will help to drive you forward and provide new meaning to the challenges you’ve already overcome.
