Aries
March 21 to April 20
Your enthusiasm can be palpable as you head into this new week, Aries, and nothing can seem too daunting for you. But with Venus and the Moon in opposition, this suggests that while your desire to get things done quickly can be useful, tact and diplomacy will ease your way more. This will be especially true if you are interacting with a close family member.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Your appreciation for the finer things in life may be accentuated today, and your generosity may also flourish. But there may also be something you feel driven to buy that comes from a craving, perhaps even a sudden urge to gorge on an item you didn’t anticipate wanting. Alternatively, however, you may decide to air an old grievance.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
With your ruler, Mercury, having moved into a more reflective zone and entering a challenging right angle with powerful Pluto later this week, a revelation is possible, but perhaps what emerges will be for the best. And you can be lifted by the support and enthusiasm of a friend. Their encouragement might just ring the bell for you, Gemini.

June 22 to July 23
With Jupiter in your sign in a powerful angle to Mars, the planet of action and desire, in a very prominent area, if there is a goal you really want to achieve, your desire and passion to achieve it can be extremely strong. But ironically, you can also be tempted to focus on something completely different and let go of what no longer brings you joy or feeds your soul.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Your natural warmth and charisma may burn brightly as we enter this new week. And with Venus and the Moon lining up beautifully, you can resonate in the right way with the people you meet. But something you’ve been thinking about deeply for the past eight or nine months but hasn’t yet come to fruition may begin to do so as this week unfolds, Leo.

Virgo
From August 24 to September 23
The Moon occupies a sensitive and comfortable zone, which could see you wanting to ease into the week without too many demands. But another part of your nature may be enjoying a challenge. What will it be? There may be a growing sense that staying the way you are is unlikely to be an option. And even if you think about it today, this realization can become stronger.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You understand more than any other sign of the zodiac, Libra, that it’s not just words and ideas that matter, but tone as well. And your appreciation for framing things the right way may increase today. But underneath that there can certainly be a lot of desire and drive to get your message across, and that can certainly be heard today and by someone with influence.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
A part of you may want to be super-efficient, productive and functional. Another part of you may want to completely avoid the things you know you really need to do. And with the Moon and Venus making a stirring connection, if escape wins, you’ll want to do so with gusto. Will you feel guilty? Maybe, but maybe not that guilty!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
It’s likely to be a fast-paced start to the week for you, Sagittarius, with the Moon in your sign making an energetic connection with strong Mars in your sister fire sign Aries. Also, your ruler Jupiter is conjunct Mars and you will probably want to be very dynamic in all the moves you make. With the support of harmonizing Venus, people can be responsible.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Capricorns have a reputation for being cautious and even reserved. And that may seem to be playing out today with the Moon starting the week in a more reflective zone. It’s certainly a lot to think about, but regardless, there may be a person who keeps popping up on your cosmic radar that you can still approach – whether for business or pleasure.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Although the Sun and Mercury are bringing energy to your home and family situation, it’s the sector of your ideas that continues to shine especially bright, and Mars’ energetic conjunction with extended Jupiter today can put you in the mood to take on a challenge. But if you can add your own creativity and flair to the mix, it’s likely the perfect formula, Aquarius.

Fish
February 20 to March 20
Your traditional ruler, Jupiter, remains in a majestic zone until the end of June and is encouraging you to display your creative brilliance in all its various forms. If you can find a way to convert those talents into improving your income or even your sense of self, this can certainly be a good time to push forward. Your need for recognition has also increased today.
