The week begins with a waxing moon in Cancer that will move toward a waning gibbous by Saturday. The sun remains in Scorpio, making things feel emotional and serious, while Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius inspire us to speak more freely. It’s a mixture of feelings and honesty that might make things awkward, but helps clear the air.

With Saturn, Neptune and Uranus still retrograde, things are moving rather slowly. Saturn and Neptune in Pisces make it harder to focus, and Uranus in Taurus keeps shaking up your comfort zone.

Mercury enters its shadow phase this week, meaning miscommunication and small technical issues might start to pop up. The full retrograde starts next week, so double-check your plans and give yourself extra time to prepare for things.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You might feel impatient this week, like you need to fix things right away. Try to let things breathe before you react. Small annoyances aren’t worth your stress.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Conversations might not go the way you expect. Be clear about what you mean and try not to take things too personally. Everyone’s a little sensitive right now.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You’ll feel torn between rest and getting stuff done. Plans might shift, but that’s okay. Just stay flexible and don’t worry if things don’t go exactly how you pictured.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The moon in your sign makes this a good week to take care of yourself. Do something small that helps you feel calm and grounded. You can’t help others if you’re running on empty.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Home life might need your attention. Cleaning or reorganizing your space could actually help your mood. A small change can make a big difference.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

You want things to be perfect, but this week isn’t about control. Use this time to plan quietly instead. It’ll help when Mercury retrograde hits next week.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Money might be on your mind. Try not to spend just because you’re stressed or bored. Saving now will make you feel more stable later.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You’re finally feeling more confident again. You’re ready to take charge, but don’t rush into everything at once. Keep one goal at a time and pace yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

You’re feeling restless but also thoughtful. Mars and Mercury in your sign make you more outspoken, but think before you talk. Words hit harder than you think.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

You might want some alone time, and that’s okay. Take a break to recharge instead of pushing through. Slowing down helps you see what actually matters.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Friends or group projects might feel weird this week. You’ll start noticing who puts in effort and who doesn’t. Don’t chase after people who don’t match your energy.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Your emotions are strong right now. With Saturn and Neptune retrograde in your sign, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure. Trust your instincts instead of overthinking.

Astrological takeaways for this week

This week feels calm on the outside but busy underneath. The Cancer moon brings emotion, while Scorpio season keeps things intense. Mercury starts slowing down, so expect small mix-ups and delays.

Keep your schedule light, think before you speak and try not to take everything too seriously. Sometimes it’s better to wait than to force things.
