What will be happening in your life this week? Astrologer Natasha Weber reveals everything the next seven days has in store.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Mars blasts into your sign on Wednesday, granting you extra oomph. But despite your motivation, Mercury’s retrograde throws a spanner in the works, making progress tricky. The best way to tackle these contradictory cosmic influences is to invest your time working behind the scenes to finalise projects and objectives that have already been launched. Mercury gives its nod of approval to planning, preparing and tying up loose ends, provided that you don’t start anything from scratch.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You know your own mind well, Taurus, and once you’re set on something, almost nothing can sway you. But Mercury’s move into your sign causes you to doubt a decision. This week sees you thinking around in circles. As soon as you decide to go one way, another more attractive option pops up. Let’s face it, you like things to be predictable, so any uncertainty is sure to rock your boat. But these alternatives aren’t the enemy; they give you a choice - and that’s empowering.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
On Sunday, the Sun and Mercury’s meet-up in your sign sparks a lightbulb moment. This epiphany is a blessing for your relationship if you’re in one because it propels you forward with a decision or a concern that’s ruminating through your mind. Worry bogs you down and sucks the life out of your connection, but once you’re moving full steam ahead, you can turn your attention to the person who matters most. Singles meet a love interest that’s on their wavelength.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Love is high on your agenda, as Venus connects with passion planet Pluto. Whether you’re single or taken, you’ll be feeling all the feels. Couples encounter a financial crossroad that tests their commitment but pull through stronger than ever. While singles form a potent connection to someone that’s been on the scene for a while. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to shoot your shot, this is it! Feeling shy? Venus gives you the initiative you need to make your move.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Travel is at the forefront of your mind, whether you’re planning a dream holiday or preparing to jet off. Mars catapults into your vacation sector on Wednesday, creating anxiety about your trip, but don’t worry, you’ve got this! Just remember not to overlook minor details, and don’t rush things. Take your time scheduling your itinerary, clearly label luggage and arrive at the airport with time to spare. And if you’re still in the daydreaming phase of your trip, now is the ideal time to call your travel agent.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
You’re fed up with holding back. All you want is to blurt out exactly how you feel and serve someone a piece of your mind with a side order of brutal truth. But although the Sun’s alignment with communicative Mercury, your home planet, green-lights voicing your opinion, speaking off the cuff without thinking isn’t wise. Sure, you’ll get a temporary sense of relief. But at worse, you could say something you’ll later regret. By all means, speak your mind. Just consider your words carefully.
Libra (September 21 – October 22)
Your relationship zone gets a lovely boost thanks to the Sun’s kiss with Jupiter on Monday. The good vibes are likely to last until Saturday, so arrange to spend time with your number one person. If you’re single, that doesn’t mean you need a partner to feel understood and connected. It simply spotlights the person that’s most important to you. For some, that might mean scheduling quality time with a sister, child or best friend. Think carefully about who has your heart and make them a priority this week.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Your home planet, Mars, steps into your health zone on Wednesday, inspiring you to upscale your wellness game. You’ll be gung-ho about improving your fitness this week, with aerobic activity topping your list. Got extra energy to burn? Shake it off because Mars finds it hard to sit still, and restricting the action planet can result in stress - Mars needs to move! Now isn’t the time to sit on your hands, Scorpio. If you have a plan, act on it. And if you feel anxious, exercise is the best remedy.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Your creative flow is at its finest from midweek onwards when Mars encourages you to pursue what lights your fire. Dedicate ample time towards your passion purpose, rather than investing 100 per cent of your time and effort into your bread-and-butter job. Of course, you must meet your professional responsibilities - and then there’s paying your bills. But carving out time to nurture your soul’s calling will leave you more fulfilled, valued and content.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Love is a delicate balancing of giving and receiving, which can be tricky to master. By the end of the week, Venus, Mercury and Pluto’s dance asks one of two questions: Are you giving more than you’re getting in return? Or are you taking more than your fair share? And because love comes in all shapes and sizes, consider all your close connections, not just your romantic relationships. Before you’re inspired to go the extra mile for someone else, make sure there’s enough left over for yourself.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
If your love life has been on shaky ground lately, Venus’ nod to dedicated Saturn steadies you. New relationships find their groove after Tuesday, which may include changing your Facebook status to confirm that you’re ‘in a relationship’, meeting your sweetheart’s parents or agreeing to monogamy. However you decide to consolidate your commitment, you’ll have to leave something behind, even if it’s just singledom and your prized freedom. Couples share a responsibility that brings a great sense of satisfaction and achievement.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
As the zodiac dreamer, you tend to be quiet and enjoy spending time alone with your own thoughts. But Mercury’s move into your communication zone transforms you into the quintessential chatterbox! Let your opinions be known, Pisces, because expressing yourself, your beliefs, and your ideas provides a healthy outlet for your mental and emotional wellbeing. Naturally, you’ll speak in your usual gentle tone. But the important thing is that you don’t bottle up your sentiments.
