The surprising route is the right one
Mercury leaves your sign and moves into Gemini, and for you, this is about grounding what you’ve been saying. Over the past few weeks you’ve been full of ideas, but did you act on them? If not, now is the moment. The catch is that Mercury conjuncts Uranus as it moves, so the way your ideas become reality won’t be the obvious route. It’ll be unpredictable, exciting, out of the box. Keep your eyes open and your ears pricked to suggestions that surprise you. Mercury sextile Neptune adds a dreamy, whimsical quality, you’re opening up to deeper feelings and more inspired thinking. Because Mercury is grounded, you can take what’s inspired and make it happen. You’ll see clearly what’s real and what isn’t but, the twist is you can build a dream you thought was impossible.
✦ ✦ ✦
Grounded, passionate and ready
Venus moves into Cancer and brings an important communication with someone you love. Don’t take it lightly, be fearless. Speak from your heart but be grounded. There’s news or a resolution coming in more than one relationship.

Venus is your ruler of course, so this is one of the best days of the year for you. Mercury trine Pluto gives you a breakthrough in your career or the goals you’ve been working toward but it involves letting go of an outdated way of being. The Sun enters Gemini on the 21st and leaves your season behind, but it conjuncts Uranus on the way out so the ideas keep coming. You’re previous Uranus training has shown you the benefit of leaping when you need to, the 21st is one of those times.

Go to yoga, do what makes you feel in touch with your spirit — because that’s what Mars is asking. Don’t push or ruminate. Allow yourself to marinate in the ideas you’ve got.

LEO
One of the busiest weeks of the year
You are the belle of the ball
Magical, whimsical and radiant
One of the busiest weeks of the year
Leo, this is one of the busiest weeks of the month, potentially even the year, because you are out and about, whether that’s physically or online, connecting with loads of people, putting your ideas out there and conjuring up what you want to create in your life. Other people are part of the story this week. You go out casually and bump into somebody who could genuinely help shift your future. A random conversation turns out to be important. You are meeting the right people and a lot of it happens naturally rather than through forcing anything. You are the belle of the ball this week, whichever way you want to put that. People are drawn to you. There’s warmth around you, camaraderie, connection, a feeling that others want to be in your orbit. Enjoy it. Let yourself be part of things.
✦ ✦ ✦
I’m going to make this happen
Mars shifts signs and gives you that feeling of, right, I’m going to make this happen. I’m going to succeed. Whatever success means for you personally, there’s a much stronger drive towards it now. You’re pushing yourself forward and at the same time you’ve got people around you popping up to help. The cosmos is shining on your ability to connect this week. Take it. Use it. Run with it.
✦ ✦ ✦
Magical, whimsical and radiant
Venus also changes signs, bringing a more romantic, whimsical energy. You want beauty around you again. Get offline for a bit. Wander down the road. Sit in the garden. Look at the trees. You recharge through sensory experiences this week and it’s important that you allow space for that. Be as sensorial as possible. Write poetry. Listen to music that moves you. Look at the people you love with your whole heart. You’re more emotionally open than usual and your intuition is incredibly strong now. There could be profound emotional or intuitive moments this week that stay with you for a long time. Venus sextile Mars helps you channel all of that emotional and creative energy into something productive. Your artistic thinking, your spiritual thinking, your instincts, all of that can feed directly into what you want to achieve. There’s also a strange kind of magic around timing this week. Synchronicity. Being in exactly the right place at the right moment. Be honest in everything you do and things flow much more easily. Then the Sun moves into Gemini and your social side lights up even more. The Sun is your ruler, so when it moves into this part of your chart you become incredibly visible. Whether you’re a quiet Leo or a bold Leo, people notice you. That’s just part of your energy. Sun sextile Neptune could bring an adventure, a dream or an experience that expands your world. Travel, meeting somebody completely different, saying yes to something unexpected, all of that is possible now. Be proactive with this energy. You’ve got this.

VIRGO
Mercury conjunct Uranus in your success zone
You are going to have to leap
Let yourself be surprised
Momentum building in your success zone
Virgo, you are working at it this week. You are completely on it. Mercury, your ruler, is conjunct Uranus in your success zone, so there’s a feeling of momentum building around career, ambition and wherever your real passion is directing you. And Uranus always brings something unexpected. A strange twist. A surprise opportunity. A moment that changes the direction of things very quickly. It could be thrilling. Slightly chaotic. Exciting in a way that takes you out of your usual way of operating.
✦ ✦ ✦
You are going to have to leap
You are going to have to leap though. I know leaping isn’t generally your preferred style. You like to think things through properly. But Uranus rewards movement. The gift arrives when you respond to the moment instead of analysing it to death. Mars is also shifting into your adventure zone, so there’s this growing feeling of, right, let’s go. The whole week has movement in it. Curiosity. Restlessness. A desire to stretch beyond your usual routine and see what happens when you stop playing life so safely. Venus sextile Mars adds to that energy beautifully. You are ready to get out more, explore more, connect more. And with Venus moving into your networking and collaboration zone, other people become incredibly important. You are a magnet this week for the right conversations, the right invitations, the right collaborations and the right experiences. So go. Explore. Say yes more often. At the same time, keep yourself focused on what you actually want. There’s a difference between distraction and opportunity, and your instincts are sharp enough to recognise the difference.
✦ ✦ ✦
Let yourself be surprised
The main thing this week is allowing a little unpredictability into your life. Let go of the need to control every outcome. Let yourself be surprised. There’s something freeing about that energy for you. Then the Sun moves into your success zone too, bringing confidence and visibility. You start feeling much more certain about your ability to achieve what you want. There’s a stronger sense of self-belief building now. A feeling of, yes actually, I can do this. And again, because Uranus is involved, success may arrive in a way you didn’t expect. But you do have to participate. Opportunity is moving quickly this week and the more proactive you are, the further you can go. You may even surprise yourself with what you’re capable of.
✦ ✦ ✦
In a Nutshell
Mercury conjunct Uranus in your success zone brings momentum, surprise opportunities and unexpected twists in your career. Uranus rewards movement so leap rather than analyse. Mars into your adventure zone plus Venus sextile Mars makes you a magnet for the right people and experiences. Say yes more. The Sun into your success zone builds confidence and self-belief. Participate. Opportunity is moving quickly this week.

LIBRA
Adventure, curiosity and crossing new territories
Reclaim your power this week
Follow your joy, your pleasure and your passion
Adventure, curiosity and crossing new territories
Hey Libra, we leap into this week with an adventurous feel. It’s time to explore, to be curious, to open up, to cross over into territories that perhaps you’ve avoided before. This is your chance to push ahead. Mercury is entering Gemini and joining forces with Uranus, bringing surprise opportunities to open up, to travel, to study, to learn, and to really trust yourself enough to do something fearlessly. You might get this call in your heart to travel. There may be an unexpected invitation to do something completely different and out of your comfort zone. Allow it. Appreciate it. Encourage it. Grab it when the opportunity arises. Mercury is also sextile Neptune, so there could be an unexpected adventure with somebody close, or you meeting someone from a different culture, background or life experience. What this week gives you is the courage to express your own unique soul. The more you express that unique side of yourself, the bits you maybe don’t normally share, the more successful you’ll be.
✦ ✦ ✦
Reclaim your power this week
Mars is going into a deep, deep place in your chart. It’s making you think about taboo subjects. Life, death, rebirth, sex, obsession, jealousy, money, power, powerlessness. All of these themes are intense this week. And if somebody messes with you this week, Libra, you will see straight through them. You can spot anyone’s weakness or shadow this week, so use that power wisely. You’re more powerful than you realise, and this energy can either transform things or become destructive depending on how you use it. But the positive side of this is that you can reclaim your power. If you’ve given your power away to a person or situation, this week you take it back into your own hands.
✦ ✦ ✦
Follow your joy, your pleasure and your passion
Venus is also shifting signs and making you an abundance magnet. It’s moving into your success and achievement zone and drawing the right opportunities towards you. Venus is also sextile Mars, so the charisma, courage and confidence you’ve got this week can genuinely push you towards success. You may meet somebody powerful who recognises your power too. The Sun is entering Gemini, and for the rest of this week it really is about adventure, following your joy, your pleasure and your passion.
✦ ✦ ✦
In a Nutshell
Mercury conjunct Uranus opens up adventure, travel and the courage to express your unique soul. Grab the unexpected invitation. Mars deep in your chart brings intensity around taboo themes and the power to see straight through anyone who messes with you. Reclaim any power you’ve given away. Venus into your success zone makes you an abundance magnet. Venus sextile Mars adds charisma and confidence. The Sun into Gemini says follow your joy.

SCORPIO
Your power is rising
A double dose of power this week
Reclaiming every part of yourself that you forgot was yours
Your power is rising
Scorpio, you divine creature, this week your power is rising. You are all that you are plus a cherry on top. You are able to look into the souls of people this week and know what’s really going on. You are beguiling. Mesmerising. People can see something in you, but they’re not entirely sure what it is. Just make sure you turn on the charm button and don’t scare them away, you know what I’m saying? You’ve got to trust your own power this week and open up to really receiving the admiration, love and success that you deserve. Underneath it all you are actually a very vulnerable creature, which is sometimes why you put up those scary barriers, which personally I find adorable, but other people may occasionally run for the hills.
✦ ✦ ✦
A double dose of power this week
Mercury is going into your power zone, so the words you speak have an incredible impact on other people and also on yourself. Be very mindful of what you say, what you repeat and where you direct your thoughts, because Mercury is joining forces with Uranus, the planet of the unpredictable. Something unexpected is shifting around power this week. An opportunity could come out of nowhere for you to reclaim your power, show your power with integrity and stand in the brilliance of who you are. Don’t shy away from that. Open your arms to it. Trust it. You’ve got a double dose of power this week. Then Mars enters Taurus and suddenly relationships become very intense. You want balance, but you also want honesty. If a relationship has been rocky or frustrating, whether that’s a lover, friend or anyone else, you are much more likely to speak up about it this week. On the other hand, if you’re in a good relationship, passion, desire and sexuality are incredibly strong. And if relationships aren’t your focus, then wherever you direct your passion, you’re going all in. You have a very high drive this week to invest your energy into whatever stirs your soul and lights your fire. Mercury is also sextile Neptune, which helps you fine tune what needs to change. A habit. A pattern. A way of thinking. Don’t be frightened of making changes if it gets you closer to the life you actually want. There’s so much going on this week, darlings.
✦ ✦ ✦
Reclaiming every part of yourself that you forgot was yours
Venus, the planet of love and abundance, moves into your adventure zone. You want to explore. You want to experience something different. You may go away with a lover or a friend. You might go on a spontaneous day trip. You might suddenly decide to book a plane ticket. Whatever it is, your spirit wants expansion this week. You want to feel excited by life again. Then the Sun moves into Gemini and hopefully by that point you’re like, yes, I am powerful. Yes, I am fearless. And yes, I am reclaiming every part of myself that I forgot was mine. You’ve got an innate strength this week that is impossible to ignore.
✦ ✦ ✦
In a Nutshell
Your power is rising and you are beguiling this week. Mercury conjunct Uranus in your power zone makes your words land with incredible impact and brings an unexpected opportunity to stand in your brilliance. Mars into Taurus intensifies your relationships and drives passion, desire and honesty. Mercury sextile Neptune helps you see what needs to change. Venus into your adventure zone wants expansion and excitement. The Sun into Gemini closes the week with you fearless and fully yourself.

SAGITTARIUS
Your yearly era of love and connection begins
Enjoy the magic — but keep one foot on the ground
Own your sensuality and reclaim your emotional power
Your yearly era of love and connection begins
Sagittarius, my wild pony, how are you doing? There’s a big flavour change this week as Mercury shifts signs and you enter your yearly era of love, relationships, harmony and one to one connections. All the things that bring peace to your spirit or love into your heart are highlighted now. Mercury is helping you talk about your feelings properly and bond with the people you love. You’re more open to compromise, more understanding and hopefully you’ll receive that same energy back because you are quite sensitive now. You just want peace, joy and emotional ease in your life. Mercury is also joining forces with Uranus, the unpredictable one, so there may be a moment this week where something completely unexpected happens connected to a best friend, lover, partner or relationship dynamic. I’m betting it’ll be positive, even if it doesn’t feel like that in the moment.
✦ ✦ ✦
Enjoy the magic — but keep one foot on the ground
The next day Mercury sextiles Neptune, which brings in dreaminess, romance, connection and opportunities to genuinely enjoy yourself. There’s potential for closeness this week, for fun, for laughter, for feeling emotionally connected to someone in a meaningful way. The only thing I’ll say is don’t completely disappear into fantasy. You know what Neptune is like, darling. It can hand us these delicious illusions and convince us they’re reality. So enjoy the magic, enjoy the romance, enjoy the feeling, but keep one foot on the ground. Luckily Mars entering Taurus does help with that. It grounds you a bit. Possibly even slows you down slightly, which may actually be useful considering everything else that’s going on. But honestly, when you put this whole cosmic cocktail together, there’s a lot of pleasure to be had this week. And maybe a dash of naughtiness too.
✦ ✦ ✦
Own your sensuality and reclaim your emotional power
Venus is entering Cancer, which for you rules intimacy, power, desire, trust and all the deeper emotional stuff. This is powerful if you need to reclaim your power in love, relationships or abundance. If you’ve given too much away emotionally, this week helps you pull some of that energy back towards yourself. At the same time, this energy can be tempting. Love triangles. Secret attractions. Situations that are exciting precisely because they’re a little dangerous or addictive. So just keep your eyes open. But do enjoy your sensuality. Own it. Respect it. Respect your emotional power too. Don’t hand your heart over carelessly and reclaim it if it’s gone wandering off somewhere it shouldn’t. Venus is also sextile Mars, so there’s a lovely balance between grounding yourself and still allowing yourself pleasure. Just don’t become too cautious or overthink everything. Then the Sun goes into Gemini and once again relationships become the centre of the story. You’re shining when it comes to love, connection, unions and emotional closeness. And yes, something unexpected is still brewing. A message. A flirtation. A conversation. News about an ex, a current lover or a future one. Love is absolutely the spice in the week.
✦ ✦ ✦
In a Nutshell
Mercury into your relationship zone opens your yearly era of love and connection. Mercury conjunct Uranus brings an unexpected positive twist in a close relationship. Mercury sextile Neptune brings romance and dreaminess but keep one foot on the ground. Mars into Taurus grounds you pleasurably. Venus into Cancer helps you reclaim your emotional power and enjoy your sensuality. Venus sextile Mars balances pleasure with groundedness. The Sun into Gemini makes love the centre of the story.

CAPRICORN
Conflicting energy — but not in a bad way
The force within you is joy, pleasure and creativity
Don’t let the small stuff steal your wonder
Conflicting energy — but not in a bad way
Hello gorgeous Capricorn. There is such conflicting energy this week, not necessarily in a bad way, but you are feeling many separate things. On the one hand, you’re having a lot of discussions about the things that need to change. Luckily it’s small things, or perhaps minor irritations that you are hyper focusing on that other people are doing that are annoying you. And you know how it goes when we don’t communicate our needs, or we ignore something we know we’re supposed to deal with, it escalates in our mind. Don’t let manageable issues becomes overwhelming. A conversation is coming, whether you want it or not, thanks to mischief maker Uranus. But if you analyse the situation, it’s likely just a small tweak of behaviour, routine or pattern that resolves it.
✦ ✦ ✦
The force within you is joy, pleasure and creativity
Mars is the opposite of that energy, because Mars is delivering you joy, happiness, excitement, passion, desire and creativity. And Mars is a strong planet, it’s the force in our lives. So, the force within you right now is to have pleasure, fun, joke around and really experience feeling creative and just enjoying life. Allow that to happen. Don’t get caught up in other things or distract yourself from the wonder of this week. On top of that, Venus is going into your relationship zone. Happy days! You have this opportunity to improve all of your one-to-one relationships, whether that’s lovers or friends. You just want union, peace and tranquillity. Don’t let any small thing mess up all that positive emotional energy. Particularly on the 19th when Venus sextiles Mars, because that is a day that can bring great joy, intimacy, and connections. If you let it, a feeling of being loved.
✦ ✦ ✦
Don’t let the small stuff steal your wonder
There is a part of you going through an inventory of your life around your health, your wellbeing, what you eat, how you exercise. You might even thinking about therapy. All of that is good. But don’t let it steal the magic and the creativity that is rightfully yours.
✦ ✦ ✦
In a Nutshell
Conflicting but not bad energy this week. Mercury conjunct Uranus brings a conversation about small changes that need making — don’t get het up, just make the tweak. Mars brings joy, pleasure, creativity and laughter — let the force in you go there. Venus into your relationship zone means union, peace and connection with the people you love.

Let go of what’s blocking your next level
Let the good times roll
Aquarius, let the good times roll. This week has real potential for pleasure, creativity and sensuality as Mercury goes into your fun house, quite literally. What stirs your passion? What makes you feel good? What makes you laugh? Try and cram as much of that into this week as possible. Your prescription from the universe is childlike joy and pleasure. Doing the things that make your heart sing. There may be some unexpected experience that brings a dash of excitement to all of that as Mercury joins forces with your ruler Uranus. A surprise invitation, a spontaneous connection or a moment where you suddenly feel alive again. Mercury is also sextile Neptune, so creatively you are on a roll. If you write, paint, perform, design, make music or express yourself in any way, inspiration is flowing again. You can draw down ideas this week and it feels like such a relief because you’re like, oh thank God, I’m feeling like myself again.

Your people are the mashed potato ones
Mars is also making you want to be cosy. You want good food, wine or kumboocha, good company and the kind of nights where you can chill out. Your soul fam you can sit around in your pyjamas eating mashed potato with, and they love you even more because of all your weird quirks. Those are your people this week. There’s also a part of you that wants to physically build something. You might run outside and build a bonfire, sort out the garden, build a treehouse, changing your space around. There’s a very earthy, physical connection to pleasure now and yes, that can happen in more ways than one. Then the Sun goes into that same position and you’re like, yeah, I’m committing to my happiness now.

Let go of what’s blocking your next level
Mercury is also trine Pluto in your sign, which means something becomes obvious to you. You have to let go for you to move to the next level of happiness and pleasure. That could be a thought pattern, a situation or a worn out connection. Check out your perception and relationship with yourself, can this be improved? It’s time to love yourself the way you love others. You know Pluto though. There are various degrees of dramatic when Pluto gets involved. But one thing is certain, you do have to let go to move forward properly. And deep down, you already know what it is. Trust the process and your creativity. Mercury is also sextile Saturn, so alongside all this pleasure and inspiration, there’s real commitment. You’re ready to take your ideas, talents and happiness seriously and more importantly, you believe you can do it.

PISCES
This week it’s all about the cosy
You are a magnet for creativity and pleasure
Have faith in what makes you happy
This week it’s all about the cosy
Pisces, you adorable creature, this week it’s all about the cosy. You want nourishing. You want that lovely under the duvet feeling, cooking a meal under candlelight with your friends, listening to music that makes you feel warm and soft inside. You need that this week, so allow yourself to have it. You may also be discussing moving house, redecorating or making changes around your home and family life, and there may be some surprising news connected to family as Mercury joins forces with Uranus. All of those areas are under the microscope this week, with you really knowing and talking about what you need to bring more comfort, peace and emotional security into your life. And so you should. Mars is also giving you the fire to talk about your needs because Mars is going into your communication zone. So you’re like, yes, I can speak my truth now. But you’re not losing your whimsy, obviously. You are still the most whimsical, romantic, sensitive, dreamy sign of the zodiac, and Mercury is sextile your ruler Neptune, so you’re dreaming about what you want emotionally, creatively and around your home and family, but at the same time Neptune is helping you make some of it real. This actually feels like a good week for you.

You are a magnet for creativity and pleasure
Venus, the planet of love and abundance, moves into your creative, playful, joyful zone. So you become a magnet for creativity, pleasure and all sorts of lovely experiences. A conversation, an invitation or even a random moment could lead you closer to something that genuinely makes you happy as Venus sextiles Mars in your communication zone. You’re talking about important things this week and hopefully healing, reconciling and transforming things too, particularly when it comes to what you need and what you want around love, creativity, home and family. Then the Sun enters Gemini and once again the focus shifts back onto home, family and emotional foundations. And because the Sun is conjunct Uranus, there may be surprising twists and turns around those areas too. Leap on them. Flow with them. Swim with whatever Uranus brings this week instead of resisting it.
✦ ✦ ✦
Have faith in what makes you happy
But overall, yes, there is pleasure. There is cosiness. There is creativity. These are the things you need to encourage now. Have faith in your inspiration. Have faith in what makes you happy and don’t let anyone tell you any different. Which honestly, they probably won’t, because Mars is making you feisty. Take care gorgeous.
