TAURUS

As Venus, Taurus’ planetary ruler, enters Aquarius, it meets transformative Pluto. This occurs in your public life sector.

Be mindful of your tongue this week; Cancer—words and tone matter. Mars stations retrograde, bringing confusion to your communication. You’re allowed to set boundaries and advocate for your needs and opinions. However, there’s a way to be firm without being harsh or argumentative. 

LEO 

As Mars stations retrograde in your sign, Leo, prepare for a shift in perspective. Your life path feels on pause. Turning within for answers becomes essential before taking any proactive action.

Love asks them to embrace change and endings. To find the care they deserve, they must be willing to shift into soulful needs and venture beyond the scope of their ego.

SCORPIO

Emotions run high as lover Venus conjuncts transformative Pluto, Scorpio’s planetary ruler—this Water sign’s personal life shifts.

CAPRICORN

AQUARIUS

As lover Venus enters your sign this week, it immediately joins forces with transformative Pluto. Your relationships will play a crucial role in your life path.
