It’s been a rough one. But this week, we get some clarity

There’s a lot going on this week. Looking at the transits, I’ve been struggling to find a neat way to sum it all up. The astrology of the last two months has been overwhelming to say the least, and this week is no exception. But now we’ve hit the final 20 minutes of the movie. All the plotlines are culminating at once. Not a shock, but a thrill.

In this climax, we’re facing growing pains, ego clashes and stark reality checks. But there’s sweetness too: fleeting flirtations, deep conversations and clarity. The snakeskin is shedding, and we’re stepping fully into what comes next.

Every day this week has its own edge, but two standouts are: the 24th, when Venus retrograde love stories find a soft place to land, and the 26th, when the power struggles and anxiety spirals from this winter’s Mars retrograde have their final battle. These endings might feel messy. But maybe that’s the point. There’s no tidy summary yet. Let it all play out before rushing to analyze.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

If you’ve learned anything over these two tumultuous months, it’s that very little is worth sacrificing your inner peace. Showing up for friends’ milestones has left a bitter taste in your mouth as you realize that you no longer share priorities. Going to everyone’s wedding and baby shower is expensive, especially when you’re not getting anything in return. This week is a whirlwind that leaves you with clarity around your values. Confidence begins with believing in yourself.

This week’s mantra: “Value.”

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

You’re not someone who enjoys change, and yet it has been constant over these last two months. Pursuing your dreams has come at a cost, and it’s been enlightening and heartbreaking to navigate. As you shake off some sadness this week, you’re reminded of how powerful you are. It’s easy to hide, but don’t shy away from sharing your story. Friends, family and colleagues want to witness what you’ve been through and celebrate your success.

This week’s mantra: “Witness.”

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

It’s been a rollercoaster of a spring so far, and this week has you reckoning with the grief that comes with ending one chapter and beginning the next. You’ve done a lot of reflection about what your next steps should be, and now it’s time to commit to them. Making this decision isn’t about narrowing your focus, it’s about expanding your opportunities. Let that comfort you as you walk away from one option for good.

This week’s mantra: “Agree.”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

The last two months have been a wild ride. Hard on your body and harder on your spirit. But finally you’re seeing the vision! Dreams have been lost, but a whole new sense of clarity has been gained. The next step requires making a big investment, both financially and emotionally. What’s worth going into debt? How can you take advantage of resources that are already available to you?

This week’s mantra: “Steady.”

Cheeky illustration of a woman of Asian-descent wearing a sheer coral top with her hair half-up in pigtail puns, the rest down. She is hugging a lion, who is smirking.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

The last two months have been both introspective and deeply frustrating for you, Leo. What you’re trying to accomplish requires asking for help, and as humbling as that is, it’s also a gift. You really don’t have to do it alone. That said, you’re hitting a make-or-break moment in one of your closest relationships. It’s not that you can’t stay together, but you can’t continue without a big change.

This week’s mantra: “Shed.”

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

The wild ride of March and April has been about community, partnership and collaboration. You’re not where you want to be yet, and on some fronts, you’re not even gaining momentum. But this week, you’re finally able to stop pushing and accept what’s out of your control. How you move forward requires real compromise. The good news is: you’re much more confident than you were even a few months ago about who’s on your team.

This week’s mantra: “Confirm.”

680x400 Libra@2x

Libra (September 23 - October 21)

The last two months have been a whirlwind of relationship highs and lows for you, Libra. On the one hand, you’re clearer than ever about your boundaries and what you bring into any connection. On the other hand, you’ve often been very lonely. Walking away from connections has cleared up so much space for what’s next, and the work now is staying true to yourself as you refill the cup.

This week’s mantra: “Ready.”

680x400 Scorpio@2x

Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

If you’ve discovered anything during the whirlwind of the last two months, it’s that discipline and pleasure go hand in hand. Working on something you love has provided solace as you’ve faced ongoing challenges in both your personal and professional life. This week finds you at a crossroads between staying small and taking a big leap. What you have to say won’t resonate with everyone, some might even dislike it, but that’s no reason not to share.

This week’s mantra: “Announce.”

Cheeky illustration of a Black woman with purple hair on an orange background. She's in a wearing jean jacket, with a quiver strapped across her back and arrows sticking out.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Over the last two months, you’ve had a lot of time to experiment and play around with ideas. Your usual routines have been upended and through that, you’re discovering what’s truly important in your life. Are you surprised that these are your real priorities? If you want to use the intense energy of this week for good, make a promise to learn something new. You just might steer your life in a totally new direction.

This week’s mantra: Manifest.”

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

The last two months have been frustrating for you, Capricorn, because as much as you want to get ahead, the work that needs to be done starts at home. What’s blooming in your life is more for you and less for public consumption. This week brings an ongoing emotional or financial power struggle to its climax. That support you were promised back in November is finally coming through.

This week’s mantra: “Power.”

Cheeky image of a Black woman with blue hair on a light blue background. She's holding blue water in her palms, which is bubbling up and taking shape as her hair.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

It’s been a tumultuous and emotional couple of months, and even you have found it hard to remain calm and impartial through it. The work has been relentless, and you’ve done so much reflection about your money and values. But you’re also feeling pressure in your closest relationships. This week you find the courage to walk away from a commitment that no longer serves you.

This week’s mantra: “Self-respect.”

Cheeky illustration of a gender-fluid white person with short-cropped orange hair. They're wearing a light blue halter top as two bright pink koi fish circle their head.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

The last two months have been an emotional whirlwind for you, Pisces. You’ve grown so much and you’ve also been so hard on yourself. Your creative juices are flowing, and new opportunities are coming your way, but the full vision for what’s next hasn’t arrived yet. Making a big change to your routine this week boosts your momentum. When you’re not ready for a huge leap, just take one small step.

This week’s mantra: “Simple.”
