This week flips the switch from grind to ideas. A Capricorn New Moon resets priorities around effort and responsibility, while Mercury lights up conversations that don’t stay theoretical for long. Mars wraps up unfinished business before moving into Aquarius, shifting motivation toward innovation, community, and thinking past personal gain. Aquarius season begins, changing the temperature fast. Stargazer, the focus turns toward what connects you to others and where your voice fits into a bigger picture. Actions still matter, but so does intention.
Pluto stays active, pulling truth, attachment, and power dynamics into plain view through Venus, Mercury, and the Sun. Uranus delivers flashes of insight that feel disruptive in a useful way, Neptune keeps intuition accessible, and Saturn prevents everything from tipping too far. These horoscopes center on agency and follow-through. What you choose now isn’t casual. It sticks, shapes momentum, and sets the tone for what comes next.
How will your sign fare this week?
Aries: March 21 – April 19
This week opens with your ruling planet stealing the mic. Mercury and the Moon both meet Mars, revving thoughts, reactions, and impulses at the same time. Everything feels urgent, but not everything deserves action. Aries, notice how quickly words want to turn into moves. There’s power here, especially when you pause long enough to aim it. Discipline shows up as self-respect, not restraint.
As the days unfold, Mars teams up with Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune, giving your drive range and purpose. Innovation feels doable. Structure doesn’t feel suffocating. When Mars enters Aquarius, motivation shifts toward ideas bigger than yourself. Act with intention and community in mind. You’re not here to burn out. You’re here to build momentum that lasts.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Emotions don’t ease in gently here. The Moon meeting Venus puts feelings right on the surface, especially around comfort, attachment, and what you expect from others. With Venus in Aquarius, familiar dynamics start asking for breathing room. Taurus, wanting reassurance and wanting independence don’t cancel each other out, even if they feel contradictory. A Venus–Pluto conjunction intensifies things, revealing where loyalty has quietly turned into obligation or where control has been disguised as care.
As the days move forward, a Moon–Venus sextile helps smooth the emotional spikes. Connection feels lighter when honesty leads the way. You don’t need guarantees to feel secure. Let situations shift without locking them into place. Trust grows faster when you allow change to happen naturally.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Thoughts come in hot as Mercury piles up aspects, kicking off with a conjunction to Mars that sharpens words and reactions. The Moon joins Mercury the same day, making feelings harder to separate from opinions. Gemini, your mind wants to move faster than reality will allow. Saturn and Uranus step in next, helping ideas gain structure without killing originality. There’s real power in saying exactly what you mean, but timing matters more than speed.
Once Mercury enters Aquarius, thinking turns bolder and more investigative. A Sun–Mercury conjunction boosts confidence, while Mercury meeting Pluto pushes conversations into territory that feels revealing and intense. Choose honesty with intention. Not every truth needs an audience, but the right one changes everything.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
Everything hits at once. The Moon stacks conjunctions with Mars and Mercury, lighting up emotion, impulse, and memory in rapid succession. Saturn and Uranus offer brief steadiness, but the Capricorn New Moon resets expectations around responsibility and partnership. Cancer, this moment asks you to notice how quickly feelings turn into action. There’s momentum here, but it’s strongest when you choose direction instead of reacting on instinct alone.
As the Moon moves through Aquarius, Pisces, then Aries, emotional tone keeps shifting. Conjunctions with Venus, Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune deepen attachment and sensitivity, while multiple sextiles offer relief through communication and support. End-of-week squares test optimism. Pace yourself. You don’t need to process everything at once for it to count.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
Something resets before you even realize you’ve agreed to it. The Capricorn New Moon shifts focus toward responsibility, routines, and how you actually spend your energy. Leo, this isn’t glamorous work, but it’s grounding in a way you didn’t know you needed. The Sun in sextile to Neptune softens expectations and makes intuition easier to trust, especially when logic feels too rigid. You’re recalibrating how much access people get to your time.
Once the Sun enters Aquarius, the tone changes fast. Conversations pick up speed with a Sun–Mercury conjunction, then turn intense as the Sun meets Pluto. Power dynamics come into view, especially in partnerships. Speak honestly, but don’t perform. By the end of the week, emotional alignment returns, reminding you that growth doesn’t have to feel like a battle to be real.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Your brain clocks in early and refuses to clock out. Mercury fires off rapid-response thinking, sharp observations, and an urge to correct what’s inefficient, poorly worded, or just plain wrong. Virgo, there’s a difference between being helpful and taking on unpaid editorial labor for everyone else’s life. Saturn keeps you grounded enough to prioritize, while Uranus sneaks in ideas that feel disruptive but necessary. Let the good weird thoughts live. They’re onto something.
Once Mercury shifts into Aquarius, thinking gets bolder and less polite. A Sun–Mercury conjunction boosts confidence in your voice, and Mercury meeting Pluto pushes conversations into no-nonsense territory. Say what matters and skip the disclaimers. You don’t need to soften the truth to make it useful. Precision speaks for itself.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Comfort zones get interrogated fast when Venus teams up with Pluto. Attachments feel louder, expectations heavier, and emotional habits harder to ignore. The Moon meeting Venus pulls feelings right to the surface, especially around connection and reassurance. Somewhere in the middle of all that, Libra, it becomes obvious where you’ve been keeping the peace at your own expense. People-pleasing stops working when the emotional math doesn’t add up anymore.
As things move forward, a Moon–Venus sextile brings relief through honesty and intentional space. Affection feels better when it’s chosen, not negotiated. You don’t need to force balance by staying agreeable. Let relationships adjust naturally. The ones worth keeping won’t collapse when you stop overcompensating.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
This is a power-heavy week, and it doesn’t ease in gently. The Moon, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun all pile onto Pluto, turning volume up on truth, attachment, and control. Conversations reveal more than intended. Feelings surface without asking permission. Somewhere between all of this, Scorpio, it becomes obvious what still has leverage over you and what no longer deserves it. Pay attention to what provokes a reaction. That’s where the story is.
As things unfold, Pluto’s influence shifts from exposure to agency. A Moon–Pluto sextile offers steadier ground, helping you respond instead of react. You don’t need to dominate the moment to own it. Choose intention over impulse. Power works best when it’s focused, not scattered across emotional firefights that don’t move you forward.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Emotions stretch wide this week, and not all of them fit neatly into your usual optimism. With Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, feelings tied to security, attachment, and history rise up whether you’ve scheduled time for them or not. A Moon–Jupiter opposition puts reactions on display, especially when expectations feel mismatched. Sagittarius, it’s easy to promise reassurance before you’ve checked your own limits. Pause long enough to notice what you’re actually offering versus what’s being asked.
Support arrives through a Moon–Jupiter trine that reminds you connection doesn’t have to feel heavy to be meaningful. Still, an end-of-week square warns against excess. Overextending emotionally drains momentum fast. You don’t need to fix everything to be generous. Presence goes further than grand gestures right now.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Stability doesn’t come from holding everything together by force right now. With Saturn in Pisces, support shows up through cooperation rather than control. Early sextiles from the Moon and Mercury help conversations land without turning into obligations. Capricorn, there’s relief in realizing not every responsibility needs your signature. Progress feels smoother when you let structure flex instead of lock.
As the week continues, Saturn’s sextiles with Uranus and Mars blend discipline with momentum, making change feel workable instead of disruptive. Then the Moon meets Saturn, asking for emotional accountability without self-judgment. Show up for yourself the way you show up for others. Boundaries don’t limit growth. They protect the energy you need to keep going.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Energy comes in waves that actually make sense for once. A series of supportive trines to Uranus gets ideas moving without blowing up your life in the process. Thoughts click, motivation shows up, and changes feel intentional instead of reactionary. Aquarius, it’s rare to feel this aligned with your own unpredictability, so pay attention to what feels exciting and workable at the same time. Saturn’s involvement helps anchor inspiration into something that lasts.
There’s a brief emotional spike when the Moon squares Uranus, and it might tempt you to bail or detach too fast. Don’t. Relief follows as the Moon smooths things out again. Let moments pass before drawing conclusions. You don’t need to outrun discomfort to stay free. Sometimes staying present is the most radical move available.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Everything feels slightly permeable, like the line between thought, feeling, and instinct has thinned out. With Neptune at home and getting steady support from the Moon, Sun, and Mercury, intuition runs strong and distractions fade fast. Pisces, this isn’t escapism, it’s awareness. Ideas arrive whole, not half-formed, and emotional signals make sense without overanalyzing them. Let yourself follow inspiration without apologizing for how nonlinear the process looks.
As the week unfolds, Mars lending support to Neptune brings motivation behind the feeling. Action finally matches intention. A Moon–Neptune conjunction heightens sensitivity, so boundaries matter more than usual. Protect your energy without retreating from connection. When you honor your limits, creativity and empathy stay nourishing instead of draining.
