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)

Aries, here's the low-down on your week.

Lucky you! On Wednesday, Jupiter, the planet of gifts and good fortune, enters your sign for the first time in over a decade! So, if you’ve been a bit lacklustre lately, know that things are about to change for the better. At first, you’ll experience this positive shift as an energy boost, where you have more pep in your step. But as Jupiter’s momentum builds, you’ll be thrust into the right place, with the right people, at precisely the right time. And this fortunate twist of fate creates a surprisingly uplifting outcome.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus, here's the low-down on your week.

A crossroad presents itself by week’s end, but should you go this way or that? It’s crucial that you choose the high road, even if it’s the option that makes you squirm in your seat, because you’re not going to sparkle bright by hiding away in your comfort zone, Taurus. This week, the Sun’s alignment with the Moon’s Node encourages you to explore the road less travelled. And if that scares you, you can be sure you’re on the right track.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini, here's the low-down on your week.

Your sign is under the cosmic microscope, as Mercury your planetary ruler, hits the brakes to begin its notorious retrograde on Tuesday. But this time, the mischief-making planet rewinds through your sign, Gemini. While all the usual Mercury retrograde tips and tricks apply; back up your computer, don’t buy new tech devices and avoid signing contracts, you also get an opportunity to tie up a loose end. Treat this retrograde as your golden chance to address an unresolved issue once and for all.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer, here's the low-down on your week.

The cosmos strongly recommends not mixing professionalism with pleasure this week. While it may be tempting to accept a leg up from a well-meaning friend or associate, their attempt to help could backfire if Jupiter and Uranus’ meddling gets in the way. Likewise, your efforts to support a friend or family member by offering them some work or a recommendation, may not end well. If you must cross the line between business and friendship, make sure the expectations on both sides are crystal clear.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leo, here's the low-down on your week.

Mercury retrograde strikes again! But this time, the trickster planet reverses through your friendship zone. This planetary pause gives you a chance to reflect on who needs to stay in your life and who should be shown the exit door. A bestie inventory is necessary for your personal evolution because it’s normal and healthy to outgrow people sometimes. So, Mercury’s retrograde can work to your advantage by freeing you from a frenemy that isn’t entirely in your court. Surround yourself with quality people minus any guilt.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo, here's the low-down on your week.

Guard sensitive intel this week as Mercury steps backwards in your career sector. It’s not the best time to sign documentation or renegotiate contracts unless the wheels of progress were set in motion ages ago. Mercury’s reversal messes with anything brand new, but on the flip side, the information planet excels at tying up loose ends while in retrograde. So, here’s your chance to go back over professional projects and objectives and tweak them until you’re fully satisfied.

Libra (September 21 – October 22)

Libra, here's the low-down on your week.

La Luna stirs up your emotional landscape when the luminary visits your sign on Thursday. Allow weepy feelings to flow because holding back the tears will only block your personal progress. You’ve been brave, Libra, so keep opening up and speaking up. Sure, the Moon presses your buttons this week, pushing you into uncomfortable territory. But the cosmos has a plan that begins and ends with you feeling loved, deserving and more settled. You’re almost there - don’t stop now.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio, here's the low-down on your week.

Mercury retrogrades through your sex zone this week, so prepare for a wild ride, Scorpio! Singles get some red-hot action between the sheets, but Mercury wants you to pick one if you’re juggling lovers. Rather than simply satiating your physical needs, explore each other mentally, emotionally and spiritually to connect on a more intimate level. After a deep and meaningful conversation, couples experience an other-worldly climax. See, Mercury retrograde is good for some things!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius, here's the low-down on your week.

Whenever your home planet makes a major move in the skies, it affects you big time, Saggie. So, when Jupiter enters your love zone for the first time in almost twelve years, the mega planet sets your heart alight. Singles; prepare to be swept off your feet - the sky’s the limit when it comes to romance. Tired of swiping until your fingers are numb? Then try something different. This week, Cupid hangs out at art galleries, theatres, and wherever live music is playing - maybe you should too? The same goes for couples looking to reignite their spark.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorn, here's the low-down on your week.

Jupiter warms up your home zone from Wednesday onwards, defrosting icy family relationships and bringing loved ones together. Despite Mercury’s retrograde, it’s a lovely week for a gathering with your nearest and dearest. But what if some relatives (including yourself) have fallen out? In that case, generously invite everyone to the party and let them work it out amongst themselves. Of course, the goal is to arrange a scenario that supports reconciliation, and there’s a good chance of that this week.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius, here's the low-down on your week.

Your planetary ruler, Uranus, connects with generous Jupiter on Wednesday. This clever celestial alignment makes almost anything possible - the world really is your oyster this week. Yes, Mercury happens to be in retrograde at the same time, but trust that the magic is working quietly behind the scenes until the right moment presents itself. While waiting patiently for divine timing to step in, be careful not to derail your success with negative self-talk. Believe in yourself and everything you bring to the table, Aquarius.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces, here's the low-down on your week.

A slip of the tongue causes a misunderstanding or a communication hiccup as Mercury hits the brakes this week. If you’re at fault, the best way to avoid things getting out of hand is to apologise straight away, rather than trying to cover your tracks or stick your head in the sand. Just admit that you slipped up and move on. But if you’re on the receiving end of a little white lie, prepare your response well ahead of time. That way, you’ll avoid being put on the spot and possibly spitting out a ruthless remark in the heat of the moment.
