Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Love: With Venus transiting your eleventh house of friendships and social networks, love takes on a communal and peaceful tone. If you’re single, look for romance through friends or through group outings. Couples find joy in shared social activities. Mercury direct on January 7 helps clear misunderstandings. But whether you’re attached or single, take a class to or sign up for an event—you’ll find new love or strengthen an existing one.
Money: The Sun trines Uranus in your financial sector, offering sudden opportunities for increased income. Keep an eye out for unexpected job offers or freelance gigs. However, with Mars retrograde in your third house, double-check all contracts and communications before signing. You don’t want to be left holding the bag later in the spring when communication gets hazy.
Health: Your energy levels fluctuate this week. Focus on mental clarity by incorporating mindfulness practices into your routine. Try short walks or light stretching to maintain physical well-being without overexertion. The health benefits of walking are plentiful! Throw on a long puffer coat and go for a stroller.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Love: With Venus in your tenth house of career, love and professional life may intersect (sounds spicy!). Office romances or connections through work events are possible. If you’re in a relationship, sharing ambitions with your partner strengthens your bond. Reach for the sky, you’re a power couple right now!
Money: The Sun’s trine to Uranus in your sign brings the exciting financial shifts you’ve been gearing up for, darling! You may receive unexpected support or a surprise windfall. Mercury going direct restores order in long-term financial planning, so it’s a great time to revise your budget. You’ve got this!
Health: Grounding exercises, such as yoga or meditation may help balance your emotions. Pay attention to neck and throat health, which are vulnerable areas for you. You’re also prone to reaching for instant gratification foods right now that don’t really serve your body or mind (um, french fries and pastries are on your mind). Let go and start your morning with a vegan protein powder shake and reach for nutrient-rich foods for lunch, dinner and snacks. You deserve to feel your best.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Love: Mars retrograde in your sign urges you to reevaluate your desires and approach to relationships. This week is about reflecting rather than acting. Communicate openly with your partner, especially once Mercury stations direct. I recently suggested my Gemini best friend read How to Talk to Anyone and she’s been absolutely raving about how it changed her relationship with her partner and kids.
Money: Be cautious with investments and big purchases. While opportunities may arise, Mars retrograde suggests waiting until clearer energy prevails later in the month. The Sun trining Uranus encourages behind-the-scenes planning. Be patient, your time to shine is on the way.
Health: Your mental agility remains strong, but you might experience restlessness. Engage in creative hobbies or journaling to channel excess energy constructively. Don’t be shy about popping on your best slippers and taking a mental health day.

Couples benefit from deep emotional conversations. Either way, you’re magnetic right now and the world quite literally is revolving around you. You’ve been waiting years for this, so soak it in!
Money: Shared finances come into focus. The Sun’s trine to Uranus can bring a sudden change in joint investments or inheritances. With Mercury direct, it’s easier to resolve financial disputes. You’ll still benefit from careful financial awareness and planning though, so consider investing in a budget planner to understand where every cent goes.
