ARIES March 21-April 20

The Sun shifts into Aries and it’s the Equinox on Thursday and then retrograde Venus (in your sign) links up with Pluto and the Sun. So this week’s astrology is all about maintaining your equilibrium, celebrating your individuality, and pursuing your dreams. Within a climate of transformation and reflection. Draw inspiration from birthday great Reese Witherspoon, ““I believe ambition is not a dirty word. It’s just believing in yourself and your abilities.”

TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)

Expect professional problems or domestic dramas, as retro Mercury and retro Venus stir up old grievances. Use your diplomatic talents to help find solutions. If you just sit back and let others make decisions, you’ll feel powerless. So strive to be more self-sufficient, especially at home and work. Getting the ratio right between your public and private lives is challenging. But if anyone can juggle conflicting commitments during Equinox week, it’s a well-balanced Bull!

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

With Mercury (your boss planet) in retrograde mode until April 7, it’s time to ask yourself “Am I being too subjective and short-sighted about a current issue?” Especially involving hopes and dreams. It’s the Equinox on Thursday when day and night are of equal length. So take a step back, adjust your focus, and review things from a much broader and wiser perspective. Balance is the key. Also, an old friend could boomerang back into your world.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Do your best to avoid being a snappy Crab, as Mars (in your sign) plus Mercury and Venus (both retrograde) magnify mood swings and heighten emotional sensitivities. If you’ve been burying your head in the sand, then a problem could come to a head and demand to be addressed. The planets encourage you to be extra diplomatic when dealing with challenges, especially involving work, finances, intimacy and trust. No sulky side-stepping allowed!

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)

On Thursday the Sun (your ruling planet) transits into fellow fire sign Aries and then links up with Venus on Sunday. So you’ll be at your feisty, fabulous, best – and your belligerent, bossy worst! It’s Equinox week, so try to find an outlet for your fiery energy, and a way to bring more balance into your busy world. With Mercury and Venus both retrograde, double-check all arrangements involving local travel, business trips, holidays, and weekend getaways.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re impatient about making things happen according to your strict timetable. But Mercury and Venus are both retrograde, so avoid taking shortcuts and relying on others. Don’t expect family, friends or colleagues to drop everything and hand you your dream. There is just no substitute for hard work and thorough preparation. It’s also Equinox week so stop overcommitting! Smart Virgos will calm down and recalibrate to a slower, steadier and more sustainable pace.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23

Is a close relationship stuck in a stultifying rut? And how well do you really know your nearest and dearest? Mercury and Venus are reversing through your relationship zone, plus retro Venus links up with powerful Pluto (which is visiting your romance, children and friendship zone). So it’s time to dig deeper and gain valuable insights into the inner motivations of a lover, friend or family member. Blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a different angle.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re a capricious creature, constantly buffeted by intense emotions and deep desires. On Thursday it’s the Equinox (when day and night are of equal length) which will help to stabilize your temperamental moods and balance your brooding nature. Attached Scorpio – remember there’s a fine line between ardent affection and clingy obsession. Are you unhappily single? You could find yourself magnetically drawn to someone with a powerful personality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Spontaneous, impulsive, fiery Sagittarius … this week try to tread carefully, as Mercury and Venus are both in retrograde mode. A child could feel misunderstood, a sporting event could be delayed, a creative project could backfire, or a so-called friend could talk about you behind your back. Avoid the temptation to jump in, overreact, and burn a few bridges along the way. Keep your eyes peeled, your ears open, and think (carefully) before you speak!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Cool down and calm down Capricorn! Don’t make major mountains out of minor molehills and waste time worrying about annoying problems (especially at home) as Mercury and Venus reverse through your domestic zone. Things won’t run according to plan. If there are complications, then clever communication will help you through any temporary turbulence. With Mars in your partnership zone, be proactive about improving a troubled relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Quirky Aquarians can be self-indulgent souls. However, over the next few weeks, you’ll gradually shift your focus further afield. Retro Mercury and retro Venus will remind you that family matters, plus local community connections and social responsibilities are just as important as individual priorities. Your motto for the week is from fellow Aquarian, music icon Bob Marley “Live for yourself and you will live in vain; live for others, and you will live again.”

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Sun, Saturn and Neptune are visiting your sign, so strive to be more proactive about pursuing your creative and spiritual goals. No procrastination allowed Pisces! Then on Thursday it’s the Equinox (when day and night are of equal length). Which favors meditation and contemplation, as you aim for more equilibrium and perspective. With Pluto transiting through your solitude and spirituality zone, peace-of-mind and strong self-esteem are highlighted.

Last Weeks Horoscopes - March 10-16

KICKASS ARIES [March 21-April 20]

Many Aries folk (like me!) have had a bumpy start to 2025. After 11 weeks in retrograde mode, Mars (our ruling planet) finally turned direct on February 24. Then Venus started reversing through Aries (on March 2) and this week – from Saturday – Mercury starts reversing through Aries as well! How much can a robust Ram take? If you have any major plans, projects or trips in the pipeline, don’t activate them until the last retrograde (Venus) finishes on April 13.

TENACIOUS TAURUS [April 21-May 21]

Don’t become so focused on the busyness and miniature of day-to-day life that you lose sight of the bigger picture. Look beyond the horizon Bulls! Setting short-term and long-term goals, dreaming big dreams, and making time for meditation, contemplation and/or relaxation are the secrets to a successful week. Beyond that, your motto for the future is from birthday great, singer-songwriter James Taylor “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.”

GUNG-HO GEMINI [May 22-June 21]

Mercury (your patron planet) starts reversing through your networking/peer group zone on Saturday. So do your best to surround yourself with dependable, sensible, unflappable people. And make sure you double-check all texts (before you press send) and all appointment times (before you leave home). It’s also a good week to reset boundaries and expectations in a romantic, platonic or business relationship. Keep flexible because things are constantly changing!

CREATIVE CANCER [June 22-July 23]

With Venus and then Mercury reversing through your career zone, the next few weeks could be tricky at work. Some possible scenarios? Your boss gives you extra work with short (and stressful) deadlines; a colleague becomes very difficult to work with; or some staff take sick or holiday leave, which increases your workload. If you’re looking for employment (or want to change jobs) then don’t start sending applications out until after April 13.

LUCKY LEO [July 24-Aug 23]

This week the Sun (your power planet) links up with Saturn and Uranus. So try to get the balance right between the status quo and change; between responsibility and spontaneity; between stability and freedom. If you are travelling (especially interstate or overseas) make sure you double-check your itinerary, as Venus and Mars reverse through your travel and adventure zone. And – if you can – avoid signing contracts and legal documents until after April 13.

VERSATILE VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]

Mid-week is wonderful for catching up with an old friend. Then Mercury (your boss planet) is in retrograde mode from Saturday until April 7, so resist the urge to over-analyze, over-worry, over-stress and over-react. By all means think things through, but avoid getting caught up in an endless, obsessive loop. Try to relax and let your creative side express itself. As birthday great Albert Einstein observed “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

LOVABLE LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]

Perfectionist-prone Librans love things to run smoothly but (courtesy of Venus and Mercury reversing through your relationship zone) there’s disruptive energy about this week. So drop the carefully planned schedule and take things as they come. A relationship with a lover, relative, neighbor or work colleague could veer off in a confusing direction. Or something you say, text or post on social media could receive a disappointing response.

PASSIONATE SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]

It’s a good week to revise your diet and/or rejig your fitness routine, as retrograde Venus and retro Mercury activate your health and wellbeing zone. It’s important to choose nutritious food and regular exercise that you enjoy, so you can maintain healthy habits into the future. Your daily work schedule could also be disrupted (and feel like it’s going backwards) or you could find yourself out of step with a colleague. Patience and persistence will see you through.

SASSY SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]

This week the Sun and Saturn hook up in your home zone, so extra domestic chores and/or family responsibilities could cramp your spontaneous Sagittarian style. Venus and Mercury are also reversing through your friendship zone, so an old rivalry could resurface or a controversial new friend could stir up your established peer group. Friday’s positive Sun/Uranus link favors making new discoveries at work or entertaining loved ones at home.

CLEVER CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]

On Saturday, Mercury turns retrograde (until April 7). Mercury is the planet of clear thinking, communication (talking, texting and writing), transport, travel, commuting, commerce, computers, media and the internet. So - when it’s retrograde - it’s not a good time to do the following things … sign contracts; start a job or business; buy a phone, computer, car or home; launch a website; install new software; go on a business trip or embark on a big holiday.

AVANT-GARDE AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]

Put on your problem-solving hat Aquarius! Retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury reignite your desire to help a friend, neighbor or family member in a creative and hands-on fashion. You’re keen to tackle a problem (at home or within your local community) in a strategic and innovative way. When it comes to money matters, Saturn urges you to think conservatively and plan for the long-term. So spontaneous spending sprees are (temporarily) off the menu.

PERCEPTIVE PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]

Expect a challenging week, as Saturn links up with the Sun (in your sign) plus Venus and Mercury reverse through your money zone. Perceptive Pisceans - aim to be super patient with your partner, extra kind to your family, oh-so cooperative with your work colleagues and uber disciplined with deadlines. And try to keep spending to an absolute minimum, as you curb shopaholic tendencies, stick to a strict weekly budget, and put any extra cash into savings.
