Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your season begins this month, Aries. But first, the messenger Mercury moves into your sign, and you’re feeling, well, mercurial. Rest and relaxation are your best friends to stay calm and collected. A dark new moon in poetic Pisces encourages you to allow yourself some downtime (which is also advised during the high-octane Libra eclipse later in March). When romantic Venus moves into Pisces, you feel like it’s Valentine’s Day all over again, as you feel moved to write love poems or other creative avenues to express how much someone means to you. And, when the sun enters your sign, it marks the Spring Equinox, the astrological New Year (yes, you are the zodiac’s firstborn), and Ostara, which is basically witchy Easter. Your task? Find balance and practice mindfulness to appreciate all the gifts the stars bestow on you.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
When Mercury moves into Aries, illuminating your 12th House of the Unconscious, you may receive important messages in dreams, and your psychic skills will be highly sensitive. Unfortunately, however, this also means that you might feel extra sensitive. There are plenty of excellent reasons to tap into your introverted side and stay in this month, Taurus. But around the dark new moon in Pisces, make sure to at least text your friends to see how they’re doing, as this lunation brings healing and soothing over any petty conflicts. When your ruling planet, pretty Venus, moves into Pisces, Tauruses currently in happy romantic partnerships are reminded not to neglect their friendships. A full moon and lunar eclipse in Libra, a sign of relationships, could bring the stress of sudden upheavals. Just prepare for this chaotic event by marking it in your calendar and making plans to stay and enjoy feeling cozy, something Tauruses excel at.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
As the communicator of the zodiac, you’ll love to learn that the word gossip didn’t always have negative connotations. Historians talk about how it once referred to the sharing of important information by circumventing authority. You’re encouraged to bond with friends by spilling the tea when your ruling planet, Mercury, enters fire sign Aries. Just don’t get caught talking about your boss because a new moon in Pisces and your 10th House of Social Status indicates that you’re becoming more well-known. And, yes, this transit could indeed indicate the start of an abundant work opportunity. When the warrior planet Mars also moves into your 10th House, you’re motivated to embrace your ambitious side. Work/life balance is important, but it’s also okay to chase your dreams when you feel called Gemini.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Astrologers struggle to write about money news within the limits of capitalism. But we can tell you that some transits encourage abundance, such as when divine messenger Mercury enters bold Aries. This transit asks you to assert your needs. You’re more likely to get what you want if you ask for it. You crave alone time to get creative during the new moon in fellow water sign Pisces. Go ahead and take it; just don’t hide in your crab shell for too long. You start to miss those you love (and maybe even feel turned on) when romantic Venus moves into Pisces. And when Aries season begins, celebrating the astrological New Year, you’re encouraged to remind the folks you love just how much you care about them. This is especially important as shortly after is the Libra eclipse, which could lead to everyone feeling a little insecure. Finally, Pallas, the asteroid of wisdom, moves into your sign at the end of the month, bringing spirituality to sensuality and helping you find the sacred in the profane.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You’re the proud lion of the zodiac, Leo, but even you can experience feelings of inadequacy. When Mercury, the messenger of the gods, moves into fellow fire sign Aries, the stars remind you that you’ve been working too hard and need to schedule more cat naps. New moons, like the one that occurs this month in Pisces, are for fresh starts. In your horoscope, we give you instructions on how to practice sex magic during this powerful lunation, complete with other options rooted in sensuality if you’re asexual or not so into touch at the moment. Self-pleasure of some sort is further highlighted when Venus, the relationship planet, moves into your 8th House of Transformation, reminding you of the importance of nurturing your relationship with yourself. The best day of the month for seriously indulging in rest comes during the full moon and lunar eclipse in Libra. If you aren’t careful, this date could lead to communication mishaps, and you don’t need any more drama in your life, Leo.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
When your ruling planet, divine messenger Mercury, moves into Aries and your 8th House of Transformation, you’re in makeover mode. Hating on vanity equals buying into outdated Victorian ideals, so go ahead and treat yourself, whether it’s embracing minimal makeup or opting for injectables. The new moon in poetic Pisces is a date that could see you meeting someone new of great importance, especially if you’re single and dating. And, your horoscope shifts from beauty rituals and love to your career when the fighter planet Mars joins Venus in Pisces. While, yes, this transit could also leave you feeling ultra turned on, the warrior energy Mars brings to the table also encourages you to fight for your worth at your job. Finally, beware that the end of March brings a trouble-making eclipse. Avoid the drama by sleeping as much as possible and staying off social media.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Understand that you may experience changes in the relationship that is most important to you when Mercury enters formidable Aries and your 7th House of Partnership. Change is challenging, whether you’re moving in with someone or breaking up, but it’s crucial that you stay positive and remember that what’s going down is meant to be. And, while some folks (not us) give vanity a bad rap, the stars want you to do whatever makes you feel as hot as you are when Venus dances into Pisces and your 6th House of Health. When the sun moves into Aries, marking the Spring Equinox and astrological New Year, you’re tasked with finding balance (and you are the sign of balance) within your relationships. Are you giving as much attention as you demand yourself? Finally, be prepared that there’s an intense full moon and lunar eclipse in your sign at the end of the month, Libra, threatening you with stress or even sudden upheaval. The secret to avoiding any of that is to double down on self-care.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You’re encouraged to talk about your anxiety, whether with a therapist or best friend when Mercury moves into Aries and your 6th House of Health. Put down your stinger and open up. Talking about things takes away their power. The new moon in Pisces encourages you to reconnect with your body, whether through sex or other forms of sensuality, such as lots of sleep in comfy bedding, or both. You’ve been stressed this year, Scorpio. While your ambition is impressive, the cosmos warn that burnout is real and can lead to trouble, not to mention make you less productive in the long run. The start of Aries season, which is also the astrological New Year (and another excuse to don sequins) asks you to work on, well, your work/life balance. Stay in around the eclipse in Libra at the end of the month, as you’ll likely feel the aforementioned burnout start to creep in around this time.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
While astrologers often feel at an impasse when talking about money, as we’re working within the confines of our economy, we can tell you that the stars indicate abundance and mark an excellent opportunity for negotiations when Mercury moves into fellow fire sign Aries. And when Venus moves into poetic Pisces, someone in your life starts to feel like family. Perhaps a relationship is leveling up, Sag. When Aries season begins, your assignment is to practice some gratitude. While some signs can get away with moping, you feel most yourself when delusionally happy, so it’s time to tap into that part of you. Just don’t become so annoying that you start any conflict around the chaotic full moon and lunar eclipse in Libra. Finally, Pallas, the “asteroid of wisdom,” goes retrograde in your sign at the end of the month, helping you step into your power and find creative solutions to the things keeping you up at night.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
When the talkative planet Mercury moves into fiery Aries, be aware that you may need to negotiate with a roommate over a lease or some situation at home. But if you rely on your support system, such discussions should be smooth and easy to handle. A new moon in Pisces brings out your creative side in ways that manifest blessings far into the future. It’s a good thing that you really do have a brain for business, as March sees you negotiating in professional matters as well. We can’t promise you money, but we can say that with help from abundant Venus, the stars are on your side. Aries season marks the astrological New Year and also alerts you that your friends and/or partner can tell when you’re thinking about work while partying or after sex. March is an excellent month to begin a mindfulness practice to help you stay grounded.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
As the humanitarian of the zodiac, you are probably already aware that our economy is subject to some unfortunate limitations. Even with that in mind, there are so many dates that are cosmically advantageous for getting ahead at work or finding creative ways to make money. One comes during a new moon in Pisces, which is ideal for manifesting intentions. Venus, who rules cash in addition to love and beauty, also has your back, not just with professional matters but in noticing the riches you already have in the form of abundant emotional support from those around you. This month, it’s important to recognize all types of wealth in your life while continuing to advocate for yourself (sometimes you’re better at standing up for others). A heady eclipse tries to throw you off kilter, but with the right relaxation spell, you’ll be just fine. Plus, March ends with a reassessment of which friends you want to promote while weeding out any phonies.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Your season ends this month, Pisces, and Aries’s begins, but with that fire energy comes a welcome burst of confidence and self-assuredness. March is all about being a little delusional. When Mercury illuminates your 2nd House of Possessions, there’s an opportunity for financial negotiations and a call to express yourself, as we must own our emotions. And even water signs like you, known for your feelings, can need a cosmic push to open up. There’s a new moon in your sign that brings opportunities to manifest your dreams, and we included instructions to make that happen. There’s a powerful eclipse this month that could lead to sudden change, but with sweet Venus and fighter Mars both gracing your sign this month, we think you’ll survive just fine.
