ARIES March 21-April 20
Wednesday’s Mars/Uranus link could bring an exciting surprise involving family, friends and/or connections in your local community. Then the weekend New Moon revs up your relationship zone, so you’ll experience the greatest satisfaction if you share your goals and dreams with other like-minded people. Collective collaboration is the key. But you need to think long-term and be patient – especially with Venus in retrograde mode for the next six weeks.
TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
Venus (your ruler) is now reversing through your relationship zone, which will boost your temperamental tendencies. And you could end up alienating an authority figure (like your boss) or a loved one (like your partner) or a special friend. Hopefully you won’t put too many noses out of joint. With Mercury also visiting your relationship zone, clear communication will help smooth over any temporary bumps. The weekend New Moon boosts overall wellbeing.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This week your creativity and peer group zone is activated by the New Moon, so it’s a wonderful time to create, inspire, socialize and fraternize. And a stimulating new friendship may be just around the corner! Are you single and looking for love? You could be introduced to your future partner via a close friend or a work colleague. But – with love planet Venus in retrograde mode for the next six weeks – it will take a while for the romance to take off.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
With Venus now retrograde, family and friends won’t behave in predictable ways, so don’t try to anticipate what they will do next. And avoid being bossy and offering (well-intentioned) advice. Close friends and relatives need to make their own mistakes and follow their own dreams. So clever Crabs will back off, calm down and recalibrate. The weekend New Moon encourages you to adjust your home/work ratio so it’s more balanced and family friendly.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
Venus (planet of love and relationships) is reversing through your family zone. So expect relatives to annoy, puzzle and/or frustrate you, as they make odd decisions, stir your emotions and confuse your mind. Don’t try to work out where they are coming from! Aim to be understanding and open-minded. As Swiss psychiatrist (and fellow Leo) Dr Carl Jung observed “The shoe that fits one person pinches another. There is no recipe for living that suits all cases.”
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Retrograde Venus could stir up trouble, especially at work or within your neighborhood. A double dose of diplomacy is required if you want to keep the peace. The focus is on long-term relationships. How to nurture them, keep them … and then let them go if you have outgrown each other. Enjoyable mutual interests are essential to satisfying romantic and platonic relationships. The weekend New Moon signals a fresh financial chapter but resist the urge to rush.

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
With Venus (your ruling planet) now in retrograde mode, the next six weeks is not the best time to join a dating site, start a romance, propose, move in together, get married or renew your wedding vows. Be patient and wait until after November 14. Expect to be more introverted and your social life will be quieter than usual. You’re in the mood for relaxing solo activities like meditating, walking in the park, reading a book, journal writing or listening to music.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Venus (planet of love, money and relationships) is now reversing through your sign. So expect a tricky time when you may feel as if an area of your life is stalling or even going backwards. Weigh up the pros and cons of any choices you make. If you can, then delay making important decisions until after November 14, when Venus turns direct and things will run more smoothly. The New Moon (on the weekend) is a good time to meditate, contemplate and ruminate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
With Venus in retrograde mode for six weeks, you may feel restless, stressed or just out-of-sorts. Sociable Venus is reversing through your solitude zone, so you’ll feel like being on your own. Privacy and self-reflection are paramount, and activities like meditation, contemplation and relaxation are recommended. Then the weekend New Moon is a good time to write a wish list of your goals, hopes and dreams. You can’t hit a bullseye if you don’t have one!
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It’s full steam ahead at work, as the New Moon activates your career zone. However, when it comes to friendships, dreams, financial matters and/or community connections, things are moving much slower, courtesy of Venus being retrograde (until November 14). And that’s OK! If you’re a clever Capricorn, you’ll adjust your energy and output to the required pace. Your motto is from fellow Capricorn, writer J. R. R. Tolkien “Little by little, one travels far.”
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Adventurous Aquarius: are you feeling restless and rather impetuous? The New Moon activates your travel zone, so you may feel impatient as you continue exploring the long and winding road to more personal freedom. The future beckons, and you’re in a mad hurry to get there. But Venus is now reversing through your career zone, so slow down and take extra care with colleagues, clients and/or customers. A close relationship has an extra spark on Wednesday.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
With pleasure-planet Venus reversing through your foreign travel zone, you may have a compelling desire to return to places you have travelled (and loved) in the past. Start planning your itinerary now Pisces – for a trip sometime in 2027. It’s also important to keep up to date with your international contacts. Who knows where they will eventually lead? The weekend New Moon highlights detailed research, dreams, secrets, shared finances and/or trust issues.
