Aries (March 21–April 19)
If you’ve been too immersed in the excitement of life to fluff up your nest, this week changes everything. Venus, the planet of aesthetics and pleasure, swans into your domestic sphere. In the sign of homebody Cancer, this is your heads up to pretty up your palace. Add casual-cozy-comfort to your personal decor palette. If that’s red-on-red-on-black faux leather, just make it mohair or faux fur. A blanket crocheted by Grandma when you were 10? Even better. This sphere is enjoying an element of expansion this year, so it’s divine timing to bring your favorites into your nest, whether that’s close friends, a partner, or children, or hosting your chosen fam. The challenge is to soften in this area of life and perhaps add a little cottage industry to increase cash flow. Working from home, or hosting through Airbnb, etc.? A cosmic meeting on Thursday suggests a message, an ex, or a big personality incoming. It’s all helpful intel and could simply be about planning your next trip or picking up a hobby.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
It’s time to get out into your local community to build your network based on emotional connection and tasty treats! Venus is in your sphere of neighborhood and relationships based on proximity. Since Venus represents the pleasure principle, you’ll find satisfaction and some luck from putting in the effort. This is no time to be buried under a rock; mingle and keep it simple. Take a nurturing approach so others feel a sense of family, familiarity, and comfort. Ask how people are feeling, what their concerns are, and share your own. It’s simple, I know, but meaningful. We’re basic creatures underneath it all. If you’re a creative, leave no stone unturned to place your product or services close to home; this is your zone of luck over the next year. Call a roundtable or family conference on Thursday as the sun and Mercury align, illuminating communication. Mercury is retrograde, so this is best for airing grievances, planning, and revisiting. Family or old friends may show up over this period, and they have a message to share, so listen for it.
Gemini (May 21–June 21)
As Venus shifts from your sign into Cancer, it brings its beneficial luck to your financial sector. This includes your belongings, assets, income, and values, and suggests the best way to raise your bottom dollar right now is via a Venusian approach. Build relationships—perhaps family business is key—bring your eye for beauty and design, and know the worth of what you do. If there’s a set list of rates you can refer to, use it as a guide. If there isn’t one in your industry, perhaps this is an opportunity to set one up to share with your professional community. This way, you’re the go-to. And again, we have the building of relationships as a cornerstone. This is your time to build your wealth, items of value, or cleave to your values and enjoy them. Your ruling planet, Mercury, merges with the sun on Thursday, suggesting a clandestine connection, intel, or illumination. A big personality or opportunity is welcome, just remember there’s more to the story, so allow for the second act. More info is on its way.
Cancer (June 22–July 22)
Get your sea legs sorted, Cancer, the love boat sails midweek through August 25 as Venus cruises through your sign. Venus represents love, aesthetics, how we relate, and what/who/how we enjoy. That means a loved-up time, ahoy! Feel a sense of connection just the way you like it with a Venusian person or people that are your type of crew. Make the most of this glow-up period by updating your wardrobe, surroundings, and headshot—you get the picture. Add beauty to your life, and choose people who amplify those good feels. Feeling safe, feeling felt, and of course, sharing wonderful memories are all important to you. What else is an essential, a nonnegotiable? Self-love is absolutely on the table, so treat yourself to something that makes you feel wonderful. This is a special time, enjoy! Catch that epiphany around income or assets on Thursday. A new job, an income stream, an investment, or a piece you’ve been hunting down is available.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
Since communication planet Mercury is retrograde in your sign, its meetup with the sun on Thursday illuminates an important message, idea, connection, or realization. This period is all about reflection, going back to the drawing board or reconfiguring in some way. While the retrograde is still in progress, this is a vital step or piece of intel; don’t dismiss it. Venus activates your sphere of sleep, dreams, and liminal spaces, so take time out and enjoy your own company in between social occasions. Bring the Venusian aesthetic in to create a cozy space, whether that’s your bedroom, a room you tend to withdraw to, or just fluffing up your bed with a lux throw. Yes, it’s okay to secure the premises with a “Do Not Disturb” sign, a lock, or another form of impenetrable defense. This is your time out, and you have the right to enjoy your privacy.
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
Tap into your extended networks, catch up with friends, and organize group meals at your favorite old stomping grounds. Venus is in your sphere of peers and larger communities, bringing the pleasure principle to getting involved. Make fortuitous connections and build your networks since Jupiter, the lucky planet, is expanding opportunities in this area. In the foody sign of Cancer, it all works deliciously in your favor, so reach out and also accept invitations. With your ruling planet, Mercury, merging with the sun on Thursday, your sphere of sleep, dreams, and liminal spaces provides clues, messages, and intel in mysterious ways. If you have a favored oracle, utilise it now. Keep a dream journal and consider illustrating or painting your dreams, impressions, and inklings. This is a creative time, and one that demands extra rest and time out between all that socializing!
Libra (September 23–October 23)
Bring your talent for creating harmony and beauty to your professional sphere as your ruling planet, Venus, heads up this sector from midweek. Nurturing relationships is a key to success right now, as is moving to expand on any gains made. Invite and welcome in who and what you want. As the saying goes, “Ask and you may receive,” while bountiful Jupiter is also in this sphere. Your work family or customer base is like a second family, and you’re the matriarch, so step into those shoes and create a professional family. The sun and Mercury merge on Thursday, suggesting a brilliant connection or lead in your sphere of friendships, peers, and networks. This is the perfect time to reach out, especially in a preliminary way, research connections, and inquire. You’re well on your way to what or who you seek.
Scorpio (October 24–November 21)
Expect exotic faces and places, and friends arriving from long trips and perhaps bringing treats. Venus is traveling through your sphere of expansion, so push your comfort zone and try food, restaurants, or areas of town you wouldn’t normally venture to. You’re sure to enjoy it, and you may meet that new bestie or bae! Thinking of studying or traveling? This is a great time to level up if it helps open up your world and possibilities. And you’ll enjoy the process or people. If it’s around food, design, or an arts fam, you’ll love it even more. The main thing is enjoying the connections you make along the way. This month, an extra special one is waiting in the wings. If you have something to say or research for work, career, or around your public side, go ahead and plan your speech. Mercury teams up with the sun on Thursday, illuminating the best way forward—or at least, the next step in planning, a contact, or act two of a three-part series in an unfolding story at the moment.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
As the pleasure principle, Venus, heads into your sphere of intimacy, secrets, and benefits through others, get cozy with that someone special. Plan plenty of private time to enjoy your love interest or personal time with a close friend. Note sources of income or value, as you have luck on your side here. That could be income via a larger entity, or teaming up with someone who complements your skills. It can also arrive in the form of knowledge about how to apply for and gain access to resources from these larger entities. Since you have the expansive planet, Jupiter, in this sphere for the time being, your luck is often gained through others. Most self-respecting Sagittariuses have an insatiable wanderlust and love of learning, so turn your mind to those travel and educational or media ambitions as a key illuminating moment occurs on Thursday. Be ready for that contact, message, guidepost, eureka, or flash of brilliance, and don’t let it pass.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
Venus, the planet representing pleasure, desire, aesthetics, and relationships, moves into your opposite sign on Wednesday. While bringing joy to your one-to-ones from bestie to bae, be sure to schedule plenty of time to enjoy them. If you’re single, you may meet someone special who draws out your caring and nurturing side. Since there’s an expansive factor in this zone all year, welcome a variety of fortuitous relationships. Indulge in fine restaurants, cook together, or enjoy building your financial repertoire as a language of love. Since Mercury, which is retrograde in your sphere of intimacy, merges with the sun on Thursday, it’s time to express what you have been holding back. That could be digging deep for personal revelation hidden from you or buried. Or it could be spending time with a special or close person. Perhaps they have a secret to share with you. Or this could be a period of searching with a revelation later. It’s all bound to be a little dramatic, which goes with the territory.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
Nail the routines that underpin growth and feeling good, while it’s easier to lock them in. Establish a new relationship through work or build on existing ones where you feel a sense of nurture. The care factor is an important part of feeling you belong, as well as others feeling that way, so cultivate connection. Mercury and the sun meet up in your relationship sector, suggesting a milestone development in an unfolding story or scenario. Perhaps an epiphany, an important conversation, or a revelation is ready to bubble up: Try table-talk time with those nearest and dearest. Is there something you need to get off your chest? Clear the air. Yes, an ex or a contact from the past may show up with something to say. It could be dramatic or entertaining, as Mercury is still retrograde! Catch that essential piece of the puzzle when it comes to light!
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
What a wonderful time to enjoy dating, your time off, and creativity. Spend it with family and close friends, children, or your own inner child for time well spent. As Venus and Jupiter are both in this sphere, they suggest luck and pleasure, nurturing yourself through joy and self-care. Artistic pursuits are favored, but then so is being by water and letting those wound-up inner spaces unfurl and melt away. Let go of burden, worry, and strife so there’s space for the light to shine in and out of. This is a way to get in touch with your inner muse and open up to possibility. A connection or an illumination at work, regarding wellness or routines, is suggested as Mercury, the messenger, meets up with the sun on Thursday. What comes to light? Or to mind? This continues to be a time of review, planning, and adjustment since Mercury (comms) is still retrograde, yet it’s a milestone toward something useful in this sphere. Keep plugging away at your goal!
