The Sun is still in Virgo and now conjunct Mercury and sextile Jupiter. This is giving us all a firm push to experience new things and allow those experiences to enrich our lives and open our eyes to new possibilities.
Venus in Leo is also sextile Mars in Libra, which means we get a little assist polishing some of those sharp edges that warring Mars brings to the party. These placements make for fruitful negotiations and deals that are favorable to all parties.
It’s wise to be modest in your approach. The favorable placements can make a person feel prideful, which can at best get in the way of moving forward on plans and at worst cause outright conflict.
Take each day slowly. Be clear and intentional with your words and actions.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Healing is not linear, especially when wounds are not physical. Be kind to others this week, as not everyone wears their pain well.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Taking care of yourself is important, but where do you end and the rest of the world begin? You are part of a community. You’re making decisions that have consequences beyond yourself.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Planning and action can work hand in hand this week in a meaningful way if you’re careful. Choices made without plans will likely go awry, just as plans made without action will bring you nowhere.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
You’re in need of comfort and nourishment this week. It could be physical, intellectual, or emotional — or more likely all three. Don’t let being polite stop you from accepting that nourishment when it’s offered.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Your theme song for the week should be “Takin’ Care of Business.” You may find yourself tempted by glitz and glamour, but don’t be distracted. You know full well exactly what you need to do.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
There will someday be rewards for your diligence — unless you’ve been shirking your responsibilities. Overindulging will do you no favors.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
No one can deny your aura of charisma. But remember that while it can draw people in and enrich their lives and yours, at its worst, charm can be used for manipulation and deceit. Try not to let power go to your head.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
There are always choices to be made; indecision will just slow you down. It’s best not to overthink things this week. Trust your gut, make a choice, and move along. You’re holding up the line.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Facts are important to you, but you’ve been ignoring your intuition for too long, and decisions not made may come back to bite you. If your gut is telling you something, it’s wise to explore it.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
You may find yourself returning to old habits and routines as a way of doing something different that’s comfortable rather than truly new. That’s perfectly fine as long as those habits are not destructive ones.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Why make things more difficult for yourself by denying help when it’s offered? Take a deep breath, set pride and shame aside, and say thank you as you accept help with grace.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Finding yourself back in the familiar waters of the past may seem refreshing, but the feeling won’t last. If you stay too long, you’ll quickly be reminded why you chose to move on in the first place. This pond isn’t large enough to contain you anymore.
