♈ Aries

Mar 21 – Apr 19

Your defining week

Few weeks in any year carry the planetary weight this one does for you. Mars moves through your sign meeting first Neptune on Monday and then Saturn on Sunday, with Mercury arriving on Tuesday to sharpen your thinking, the Chiron cazimi on Thursday bringing a healing threshold, and the New Moon in your sign on Friday opening a genuinely fresh chapter. The Sun leaves your sign Sunday as it enters Taurus, making this the final day of your solar season — and the most activated one. The Monday Mars-Neptune conjunction asks you to act from vision rather than ego. Not what you want to win, but what you want to build and why. When Mars meets Saturn on Sunday, the week closes with a demand for discipline and longevity. Whatever you commit to at this New Moon, commit to it fully. The cosmos is listening more carefully than usual this week.

♉ Taurus

Apr 20 – May 20

Grace before your season

Venus, your ruling planet, opens the week with a beautiful sextile to Jupiter on Monday — one of the more genuinely fortunate aspects available this year, landing right before the Sun enters your sign on Sunday. This combination is a gift: ease, warmth, financial opportunity, and a sense that things are flowing in the right direction. The week's intense Aries energy plays out largely behind the scenes for you — in your inner life, in the quiet completion of things, in preparation for what the Taurus season beginning Sunday will ask of you. The New Moon in Aries on Friday activates your spiritual and hidden sector, making it a powerful time for setting intentions around rest, surrender, and what you are ready to release before your season begins. Use the early part of the week to enjoy what Venus and Jupiter are offering. Use the later part to clear space for what comes next.

♊ Gemini

May 21 – Jun 20

Social and visionary

Mercury, your ruling planet, enters Aries on Tuesday and immediately begins activating your friendship, community, and future-vision sector. The ideas and social connections that come alive this week are not small ones — they are connected to something larger you are building over the coming months. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is a particularly significant moment for setting intentions around your community, your network, and the kind of collective future you want to participate in creating. Venus sextiling Jupiter on Monday brings ease and warmth to a social context early in the week — a gathering, a collaboration, a conversation that opens a door. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday asks you to think about which of this week's inspired ideas you are actually willing to commit to with real time and energy. Inspiration without follow-through is just entertainment.

♋ Cancer

Jun 21 – Jul 22

Career breakthrough

Jupiter in your sign is being activated all week by a cascade of planetary contacts. Venus sextiles Jupiter on Monday, bringing genuine ease and opportunity to your public life and career sector. The concentrated Aries energy this week falls at the top of your chart — career, reputation, what you are known for and what you are building toward publicly. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is one of the most significant career new moons you have had in years. Intentions set here around professional direction, public visibility, and long-term ambition carry real weight. Mars meeting Neptune on Monday adds a visionary quality to your ambitions — what do you actually want your work in the world to mean? Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday grounds that vision in reality — what are you actually prepared to build, consistently, over time? Both questions deserve honest answers this week.

♌ Leo

Jul 23 – Aug 22

Expanding horizons

The week's Aries concentration activates your sector of higher learning, philosophy, publishing, and long-distance connections — the places where you reach beyond the familiar toward something larger. Mars meeting Neptune on Monday gives your beliefs and aspirations a genuinely inspired, almost spiritual quality. Something you believe in deeply wants to be pursued more boldly. Mercury entering Aries on Tuesday sharpens your thinking in this same area, making it easier to articulate the bigger ideas you have been carrying. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is an invitation to set intentions around your philosophy, your teaching, your reach. Pluto in Aquarius continues its long opposition to your sign, asking fundamental questions about power and transformation. This week those questions find a direction. Follow the expanded version of yourself that this week makes visible.

♍ Virgo

Aug 23 – Sep 22

Deep transformation

The Aries concentration this week falls in your sector of deep change, shared resources, and what lies below the surface — the territory of Virgo that is least comfortable but most transformative. Mercury, your ruler, enters Aries on Tuesday and begins bringing directness to this area. Conversations about money shared with others, intimate vulnerabilities, or what you have been protecting may become more honest than you planned. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is a powerful reset point in this sector — a moment to set intentions around what you are willing to let go of, what you are ready to share, and what transformation you are genuinely prepared to undergo rather than just contemplate. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday closes the week with a call to make one of these things concrete and lasting rather than leaving it as an intention. Do the harder thing this week. It will not be as difficult as the resistance makes it seem.

♎ Libra

Sep 23 – Oct 22

Relationship reckoning

The Aries concentration this week sits directly opposite your sign, activating your relationship sector with unusual intensity. Mars, Mercury, Saturn, the Sun, and the New Moon are all moving through Aries — all of them asking something of your partnerships, your commitments, and your willingness to be fully honest in close connection. Venus opening the week with a sextile to Jupiter on Monday brings a genuinely warm and harmonious note before the heavier work begins — enjoy that grace, let it soften you. The Chiron cazimi on Thursday illuminates the oldest wound in your relationship sector: the fear that honest self-expression will cost you love. The New Moon on Friday offers a fresh start in partnership — but only if the intentions you set are genuinely honest rather than diplomatically comfortable. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday asks whether you are willing to build something real from this week's clarity.

♏ Scorpio

Oct 23 – Nov 21

Work and wholeness

The week's Aries concentration falls in your daily work, health, and routine sector — the unglamorous but foundational territory that determines the quality of everything else. Mars meeting Neptune on Monday brings an almost mystical quality to your work — a sense of purpose, a feeling that what you do day to day is connected to something larger. Mercury entering Aries on Tuesday sharpens your ability to communicate about your work and health needs directly. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is a powerful reset for your daily structure — intentions set here around how you work, how you treat your body, and what habits you are building or releasing carry real momentum. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday closes the week with the most important question: which of this week's insights are you willing to actually implement, consistently, as a daily practice rather than a good intention? One real change in your routine this week will compound across the months ahead.

♐ Sagittarius

Nov 22 – Dec 21

Creative fire

The Aries concentration this week ignites your creative, romantic, and expressive sector with a fire that suits your nature completely. This is one of the more genuinely inspired weeks of your year — Mars meeting Neptune on Monday gives your creative impulses a visionary, almost transcendent quality, while Mercury entering Aries on Tuesday gives you the words and directness to express what you are imagining. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is a creative new moon for you — intentions set around artistic projects, romantic connections, or anything that allows you to express your most authentic self carry real power. Venus sextiling Jupiter on Monday adds warmth and ease to romantic connections or creative collaborations. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday asks which creative vision you are willing to commit to beyond the inspiration of this week. The fire is available. What are you going to build with it?

♑ Capricorn

Dec 22 – Jan 19

Roots and foundations

The Aries concentration this week activates your home, family, and foundational sector with more fire than this usually quiet area of your life typically receives. Mars meeting Neptune on Monday brings a somewhat dreamlike or emotionally charged quality to domestic situations — things that have been unspoken in a family dynamic may surface with more feeling than logic. Mercury entering Aries on Tuesday makes the conversations that follow more direct than comfortable, which is ultimately more useful. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is a home and foundation new moon for you — intentions set around your living situation, your family relationships, or the emotional roots you are putting down or releasing carry real weight. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday — both planets strong in your chart — asks you to make one domestic decision that you have been deferring. Your home is your base of operations. It deserves the same attention you give your professional life.

♒ Aquarius

Jan 20 – Feb 18

Speak and be heard

The Aries concentration this week falls in your communication, learning, and immediate environment sector. Mars meeting Neptune on Monday gives your ideas an inspired, visionary quality — you are thinking in bigger terms than usual, connecting dots others are not yet seeing. Mercury entering Aries on Tuesday amplifies this, giving your communication a directness and confidence that can open conversations that have been waiting. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is a communication new moon for you — intentions set around what you want to learn, write, teach, or say carry genuine momentum into the weeks ahead. Pluto continuing through your sign is transforming your identity at its roots. This week's Mercury in Aries helps you begin communicating who you are becoming — not who you were. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday asks: which idea or message from this week are you willing to commit to with real, sustained effort?

♓ Pisces

Feb 19 – Mar 20

Worth and new beginnings

Mars moves through your values and self-worth sector this week, meeting Neptune on Monday in a conjunction that has an almost mystical quality for you — Neptune is your ruling planet, and this meeting with Mars in Aries brings a rare fusion of drive and vision around what you value and what you deserve. Something you have been too modest or too fearful to claim is within reach this week if you are willing to ask for it directly. Mercury entering Aries on Tuesday further activates this sector, making conversations about money, value, and what you are worth more direct than your usual circuitous approach. The New Moon in Aries on Friday is a powerful financial and self-worth new moon — intentions around your income, your resources, and your fundamental sense of deserving carry real momentum. Mars meeting Saturn on Sunday closes the week with a concrete question: what one thing are you going to do differently regarding money or self-worth from this point forward?
