Your Horoscope This Week: 10th To 16th August
We made it through, skymates. The 8/8 Lion's Gate Portal, the Aquarius Full Moon, and the final few days of a drama-drenched Mercury Retrograde in Leo all unfolded in a sacred sequence, activating our inner rebels, our wounded egos, and our wildest dreams. And now, as this week begins, we're in integration mode. This is not the time to rush into something new or pretend everything's suddenly resolved. It's the time to breathe. To reflect. To take in the cosmic downloads we've received and let them land in our bodies. Mercury stations direct in Leo on Monday 11th August, officially closing out three weeks of miscommunications, ego-checks, tech glitches, and emotional outbursts. But this retrograde wasn't just chaotic… it was clarifying. With Venus wrapping up her journey through Cancer, we've had to soften and confront the ways we show (or withhold) care. For many of us, this retrograde illuminated just how much we've grown, especially in how we respond to tension. We may have surprised ourselves with how lovingly we held boundaries, how willing we were to apologise, or how much easier it felt to forgive. A lot of people showed their true colours. And so did we. The astrological weather this week invites us to rest, reset, and then restart. The Pisces Moon carries us gently into the week, with a long void on Monday encouraging dreaming over doing. By Tuesday, the moon enters Aries and stays there until Thursday, giving us the spark we need to start fresh now that Mercury's direct. If you've been waiting to sign a contract, launch a project, or book that trip, the green light arrives. Just be mindful not to overextend — Thursday through Saturday's Taurus Moon reminds us that sustainability matters more than speed. Spend time in nature, cook something grounding, or sleep in without guilt. You've earned this softer season. Illustrated by Wenjing Yang. You've made it to the other side, Aries. Mercury is direct in Leo, lighting up your sector of pleasure, romance, and self-expression. For the past three weeks, you may have questioned your creativity, felt misunderstood in love, or just needed to sit with your own ego and realise where pride was getting in the way of real connection. Now that the retrograde fog is lifting, you're gaining clarity on what (and who) you need in order to thrive — creatively and romantically. Your heart's desires are becoming more honest and aligned with your long-term growth. This week is a great time to start expressing yourself again: post that poem, send that flirty text, or give your inner child a play date. Just remember that Mercury's in retroshade (the post-shadow period of the retrograde) for two more weeks, so don't rush into declarations… ease back in, but with intention. Once the moon enters your sign on Tuesday, your energy spikes, giving you the urge to go, go, go. Ride that wave midweek, but be mindful not to burn out. Thursday through Saturday's Taurus Moon brings a grounding reset to your sector of money and self-worth. The Last Quarter Moon in Taurus on Friday invites you to take inventory: What needs simplification? What habits or expenses can you release? You've got big plans, but you can't carry them all at once. This week is about narrowing your focus, re-centring your values, and making your magic sustainable. Taurus Sun & Rising: Congrats Taurus, you made it through Mercury Retrograde in Leo, and that wasn't an easy feat. This three-week transit activated your sector of home and roots, and Leo's Fixed Fire energy doesn't always play nice with your fixed earth nature. Whether it was subtle tension or full-blown drama, you've probably been navigating more than your usual share of emotional labor, family responsibilities, or inner-child triggers. But you did the work, and now that Mercury is direct, the pressure starts to lift. You're learning that leading doesn't mean doing it all alone. With your planetary ruler Venus still in sensitive Cancer, your heart is softening. Let that tenderness help you repair what needs mending and remind you that you're allowed to receive support, not just give it. The first half of the week has you deep in reflection, as the Aries Moon activates your spirituality and closure zone. Don't force productivity… rest, journal, reflect. You're composting what Mercury Retrograde brought up. Then, starting Thursday, the moon enters your sign and sets the stage for the Last Quarter Moon on Friday, which is a cosmic nudge to wake up and move forward with renewed clarity. Where do you go from here? What's worth investing in — energetically, emotionally, financially? This moon phase helps you shake off stagnancy and ground into a fresh version of yourself. Trust what your body and intuition are telling you. Your roots are strengthening. Gemini Sun & Rising: Gemini, take a bow: Mercury Retrograde just wrapped in your communication zone, and your ruler is finally out of the drama spiral. You've had your throat chakra tested these past three weeks: ghosted texts, misunderstood vibes, tongue-tied moments, or accidentally saying way too much. But somehow, it all led to deeper truths. Now that Mercury's direct, your words are landing more clearly, and your creative voice feels stronger. That podcast idea? Pitch it. The apology you've been drafting in your head? Say it with your chest. This is your green light to reconnect, realign, and let the world hear you roar, but remember, Mercury retroshade (the post-shadow period of the retrograde) lasts for two more weeks, so keep some nuance in your delivery. Midweek, the Aries Moon fires up your social zone and reminds you that people have missed your magic. It's the perfect time to reach out to the friends you ghosted (or who ghosted you) during the retrograde. But starting Thursday, the Taurus Moon asks you to retreat, and suddenly you're the introverted version of yourself, and solitude feels sacred. With the Last Quarter Moon on Saturday in your closure zone, you're deep in reflection mode. It's okay to disappear for a bit… You're preparing for the moon to enter your sign on Sunday, and you'll need this alone time to feel refreshed. This week, you're both the party and the peace — honour both. Cancer, the fog is finally clearing. Mercury just stationed direct in your solitude and healing sector, and it's giving big emotional detox energy. These past three weeks may have felt like you were underwater, reliving old wounds or second-guessing your boundaries. You've been shown where you need to rest, what relationships drain you, and which patterns are no longer sustainable. Now, you get to re-emerge — wiser, softer, stronger. Conversations feel lighter, your inner world is less cluttered, and you're making peace with what can't be changed. Let yourself flow forward without needing all the answers at once. Venus in your sign has your back, reminding you that you're loved, even in your most tender transitions. This weekend's Last Quarter Moon in Taurus activates your community sector, and something you've been sensing all week may come to the surface. Whether it's a group dynamic that's shifting, a new friendship blossoming, or an old friend you've outgrown, the vibes are clarifying. You're being asked to define what community really means to you and how you want to show up in it. Let intuition guide your circle. The more you surround yourself with people who feel like sunshine, the easier it becomes to shed the ones who bring the storm. Leo Sun & Rising: Leo, you did that. Mercury just ended its three-week retrograde in your sign, and this was no casual event, this was a spiritual bootcamp. If you've been having flashbacks to summer 2023 when Venus retrograded in Leo, you're not alone. The universe put you on Do Not Disturb these past few weeks to show you the difference between performance and authenticity. And now? You're rising, honey. With Mercury direct, your clarity is back, your voice is stronger, and your inner glow-up is finally catching up to the outer one. This is the moment to start laying the foundation for what you want to manifest this Virgo Season and beyond, but take it slow… there's still a retrograde post-shadow period for two weeks, so no need to launch your empire all at once. From Thursday through Saturday, the Taurus Moon activates your career sector, and the Last Quarter Moon brings a plot twist. You might be facing a crossroads: a new job offer, a project shift, or simply the feeling that you've outgrown your current path. But Taurus asks for patience — be still, journal it out, and trust that clarity is coming. Just because you're restless doesn't mean you're lost. Take a walk, sit under a tree, and ask your future self what they would do. Then follow your future self's lead by reverse- engineering the process, one step at a time. Virgo Sun & Rising: Virgo, you feel that cosmic exhale? That's your planetary ruler, Mercury, finally stationing direct after weeks of stirring your spiritual sector. This retrograde brought deep internal reckonings: maybe you craved more alone time, maybe your dreams were wilder than usual, maybe your intuition kept interrupting your logic. You've been in a liminal space, wrapping up a chapter you didn't even know was ending. But now that Mercury is direct, you're finding peace in the pause and a renewed desire to share your wisdom. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep showing up. This weekend's Last Quarter Moon in fellow Earth sign Taurus is hitting your expansion and growth sector, giving you a gentle nudge forward. Maybe you're ready to enrol in a class, book a flight, publish something, or just make a bold move that's been whispering to you for weeks. It doesn't have to be dramatic… Taurus energy is about practical, sustainable shifts. What's one thing you can do to push your edges just a little? You're not the same person who entered this retrograde. Trust that your inner evolution is preparing you for eclipse season, where your world is about to expand in ways you never expected. Libra, you're stepping out of a communication fog with way more clarity and grace than you realised. Mercury Retrograde in Leo in your friendship and tech sector may have had you replaying convos, questioning your circles, or taking social media breaks you didn't plan. But now that it's direct, you're remembering how to express yourself with balance and authenticity. That group chat drama? Fading. That idea you kept second-guessing? It's time to pitch it. Mercury's shift helps you speak your truth without burning bridges, and maybe even rebuild a few you thought were gone for good. As the Taurus Last Quarter Moon rises on Saturday, it shines in your intimacy and emotional depth sector, asking you to check in on your energetic exchanges. Are your bonds reciprocal? Are your boundaries being honoured? You don't have to overgive just to keep the peace. This lunar energy is your cue to slow down, protect your energy, and remind yourself that real love — platonic, romantic, or otherwise — doesn't require performance. Be soft, be honest, and most of all, be true to you. Scorpio, the universe just handed you the final draft of your career plot twist — are you ready to read it aloud? Mercury retrograde in your legacy sector had you navigating misunderstandings at work, rethinking your path, or even delaying important decisions these past three weeks. But with Mercury now direct, the fog is lifting. That email you never got? Check your inbox and get ready for a pleasant surprise. That project you've been avoiding? Suddenly, the vision is clearer and you're ready to take bold action. You've emerged from this retrograde with new direction and confidence. It's time to own your seat at the table — or build your own. As the week winds down, the Taurus Last Quarter Moon activates your partnership sector, and you'll be focused on aligned collaboration. Whether it's love, business, or creative synergy, you're being shown who's truly in your corner, and you're also holding yourself accountable for showing up in a better capacity for your loved ones. Some relationships may reach a turning point this weekend, and that's okay. Trust what the vibes are showing you. When you truly honour your worth, the universe responds by matching you with people who do the same. Sagittarius Sun & Rising: Sagittarius, that feeling of spiritual jet lag is lifting… Mercury just ended its retrograde in your sector of adventure, wisdom, and expansion. Maybe travel plans got scrambled or your big ideas felt too risky to act on. But now? It's full steam ahead. You're re-inspired, reconnected to your higher vision, and ready to explore again. The opportunities you thought passed you by might return in surprising ways, so stay open, stay curious, and trust your gut. Publishing, teaching, learning, and traveling are all cosmically greenlit at the point in time. As the week winds down, the Taurus Last Quarter Moon invites you to ground all this new momentum in your daily life. It's time to bring the dream down to earth. What healthy routines can you reinstate? What habits need to go? You're being asked to build a lifestyle that supports your growth — not drains it. Think: sustainable magic, tiny rituals, and finding joy in the details. The more you commit to the how, the more the what will manifest in a way that astounds you. Capricorn, your emotional landscape just went through a deep cleaning, and now that Mercury's direct in your intimacy and healing sector, you're starting to feel whole again. These past three weeks may have brought up past traumas, financial confusion, or power dynamics you couldn't ignore. But instead of spiralling, you slowed down. You felt it all. And now, the clarity arrives. Conversations around shared resources, sex, or emotional truth are easier to navigate. You've earned this softness. Let it guide you forward. As the week winds down, the Last Quarter Moon in Taurus activates your creativity and pleasure sector, helping you finally experience some levity! This weekend invites you to reclaim joy for joy's sake. Paint. Dance. Flirt. Cook your favourite meal just because. You've been deep in your feels, but now the cosmos is saying: lighten up. Reconnect to the things that make life feel rich. You're allowed to feel good without guilt. Aquarius, your relationship sector just had a major cosmic reset. Mercury retrograde is now over, and your connections are breathing easier because of it. This retrograde had you rethinking your closest partnerships: romantic, platonic, business — it's all been up for review. You may have faced ghosting, misunderstandings, or felt emotionally unavailable. But now, you're finding clarity around who's meant to stay, and what dynamics need realignment. You're showing up more authentically, and the people who matter most are noticing. This is your chance to rebuild connection from a place of truth. As the week comes to an end, the Taurus Last Quarter Moon lands in your home and roots sector, bringing the week to a grounded close. It's asking: how can you create more emotional safety in your personal space? Whether it's having a tough convo with a family member or just cleaning out your closet, the vibe is 'stability first.' You've had a lot of social energy lately, so balance it with rest, nesting, and stillness. Home is calling you back to centre. Pisces, Mercury just went direct in your health and routine sector and it's time to rewire your reality. The past few weeks may have thrown your schedules off, drained your motivation, or left you foggy about how to care for yourself. But now that Mercury's moving forward, so are you. Your mind feels clearer, your to-do list looks less threatening, and you're finding flow in the everyday. You don't have to overhaul everything at once… making small adjustments to your sleep, hydration, or work boundaries will go a long way. As the week comes to an end, the Taurus Last Quarter Moon lands in your communication zone, helping you get your message across, gently. This weekend, speak your truth with softness. Write the vulnerable text. Share your creative vision. Reach out to the person you've been dreaming about but didn't know how to approach. The moon's vibe supports heartfelt, clear communication, so don't overthink it. Say it with love and let the right words land where they may.

Your Horoscope This Week: 1st To 7th June
Welcome to June, cosmic beings. Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? The cosmos are vibing differently this week — like, let's actually take a deep breath and recalibrate, because this energy is asking for it. We start the month with the first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June, nudging us to organise our lives like our sanity depends on it. Spoiler: it kinda does. Whether it's cleaning out your closet, unsubscribing from random emails, or finally saying goodbye to that project you low-key knew wasn't for you, this is the week to clear the clutter — internally and externally. There's also a semi-sextile between Jupiter in Gemini (which remains in Gemini for nine more days!) and Uranus in Taurus, adding this buzzy, low-key chaotic energy of 'change is coming, but you can't quite name it yet.' So don't panic if you feel like you're on the verge of something… the astrology's got your back, even if you don't know where it's leading yet. Trust the process. The cosmic cherry on top is Venus entering its home sign of Taurus on 6th June. Finally, some lush, grounded, delicious vibes after the firestorm that's been Venus in Aries (remember that wild retrograde though?!). Venus in Taurus is a whole mood shift: think romantic picnics, candlelit dinners, sensual skincare, and that slow, intentional kind of love. We're ready for it. So basically? June is inviting you to slow down, get clear, and prepare for a more rooted, aligned, and pleasure-filled summer. Ready to feel like yourself again? Let's go. Illustrated by Wenjing Yang. Aries, we're kicking off June with a cosmic glow up alert! The first quarter moon in Virgo hits your sector of intimacy, merging, and depth, reminding you to check in on the intentions you set during the Gemini new moon last week. Are you really opening up to those next-level partnerships and resources, or are you low-key ghosting your goals out of fear of not being enough? It's okay to admit you're still learning how to let people in without losing yourself. By midweek, Venus is finishing its fire show in your sign — yup, she's been in Aries for months due to Venus Retrograde, and the lessons have been giving 'love me or leave me.' But with Venus in Taurus entering your money sector on 6th June, it's time to make moves that feel good and profitable. Think: investing in your worth, making bold asks, or finally charging what you deserve. You've been through the fire; now it's time to secure the bag and trust you're worth every penny. Taurus Sun & Rising: Taurus, can you feel it? You're so close to your Venusian homecoming you could probably taste it in your morning coffee. But first, let's talk first quarter moon in Virgo occurring early in the week — this is lighting up your sector of creativity, pleasure, and play. Are you letting yourself actually enjoy the process, or have you been grinding so hard you forgot to have fun? The cosmos is whispering: you deserve a little more lightness, Taurus. Then, get ready for the ultimate vibe shift: Venus, your ruler, enters your sign on 6th June, and it's everything. After months of Venus chilling in Aries and activating your spirituality sector, you're finally feeling more grounded, sensual, and fully you. This is your glow-up season — expect the compliments to flow, your magnetism to spike, and your self-worth to feel like it's skyrocketing. Luxuriate in it. Say yes to what makes you feel radiant and aligned, and let the rest go. Gemini Sun & Rising: Meanwhile, Venus, the planet of love and relationships, ends its Aries era in your sector of social connections and collaborations this week, so reflect on the lessons you've learned about who really shows up for you. As Venus in Taurus glides into your spirituality sector on 6th June, you're invited to slow down, tune in, and maybe even say no to plans that don't align with your higher self. The cosmos is asking: are you living on autopilot, or are you choosing a path that actually nourishes your soul? Cancer, the first week of June is asking you to keep it real with yourself. The first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June is activating your sector of communication, and you might feel overwhelmed by all the emails, texts, and conversations flying your way. Take a pause, breathe deep, and ask yourself: do you really need to respond to everything right now? Gemini Season has your subconscious running wild, and Jupiter in Gemini (just for one more week!) has you swimming in dreams, fears, and memories. If it feels like you're juggling too many storylines at once, that's because you are. The key is to pick the ones that actually light you up — and let the rest fade into the background. Meanwhile, Venus is finishing up its time in Aries, which has been activating your career and legacy sector. You've been in 'do it for the plot' mode professionally, but now Venus in Taurus (starting 6th June) is reminding you that not all that glitters is gold. Are you building your legacy for the right reasons, or are you chasing validation that won't truly satisfy you? Once Venus shifts into Taurus, your sector of friendships and community gets lit up — think of it as a cosmic invitation to collaborate with people who actually get you. The vibes are giving quality over quantity, so stop forcing connections that drain you and invest in the ones that nourish you instead. Leo Sun & Rising: Leo, you're a whole vibe this week, but it's not just about shining for the crowd… it's about who you're becoming behind the scenes. The first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June highlights your sector of finances and self-worth. You're reflecting on the intentions you set during last week's Gemini new moon, especially around who you're surrounding yourself with. Are these connections pouring into you, or are they lowkey siphoning your energy? Venus is also wrapping up its time in Aries this week, and you've been feeling a surge of wanderlust in your expansion sector. But now Venus in Taurus, starting 6th June, is here to ground you. It's giving 'let me take that dream and turn it into a business plan,' 'let me build a budget for this international trip,' or 'let me turn this fantasy into reality.' Jupiter in Gemini is wrapping up its 13-month journey in your sector of social networks, so this is the final stretch of you redefining what 'community' means to you. Once Jupiter moves into Cancer on the 9th, you'll feel called to go within more. But for now? Network, pitch, post, and own it. The energy this week is about showing up as your authentic self, not the curated, filtered version. So if you've been waiting to take the leap on something creative, this is your week to do it big. Virgo Sun & Rising: Virgo, this week is like the moment in the movie when the main character looks in the mirror and realises how much they've been carrying — and decides to put some of it down. The first quarter moon in your sign on 2nd June is a cosmic spotlight on you, your goals, and your energy. If you've been doing the most trying to keep everyone happy, this week's a reminder that you don't have to. Gemini season is shining in your career and legacy sector, so yeah, the pressure is on to make moves — but not at the cost of your peace. Jupiter in Gemini is in its final week in your career zone, so it's the last call for big-picture visioning: where do you want to be a year from now, and what's your actual plan to get there? Meanwhile, Venus is finishing up in Aries, which has stirred up some deep emotions in your sector of merging and shared resources. You've probably been learning who's really there for you, who you can trust, and who needs to be left on read. When Venus shifts into Taurus on 6th June, your vibe shifts too, and things get a little softer, a little more romantic. You're being called to explore, travel, and learn new things, but also to move slower and savour life more. The theme of the week? Less grinding, more aligning. Libra Sun & Rising: Libra, you're feeling that post-Gemini New Moon glow, but the first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June is whispering that it's time to slow down, reflect, and check in with your inner world. This Virgo moon lights up your sector of spirituality and healing, which means you might feel more introverted than usual — even as the world around you is buzzing with Gemini season energy. It's a great time to ask: Are you balancing your need for external connection with your internal peace? The universe is encouraging you to release what no longer serves you; the more you resist, the harder it feels. And remember, Jupiter's still in its final days in Gemini, so there's still an urge to learn, explore, and expand — just don't overthink it. Then, Venus — your planetary ruler — wraps up its fiery stay in Aries (in your relationship sector) on 6th June and moves into Taurus, activating your sector of intimacy, sensuality, and merging. Relationships are about to feel more grounded, and you're ready to build something solid and long-lasting. If you've been juggling a 'maybe' connection, the vibes will clarify: Are you in or out? Venus in Taurus wants you to invest your time and energy where it feels good, stable, and secure… no more chasing. You're learning how to let love be easeful, not a performance. Venus in Aries has been stirring up your sector of wellness and work since April, and as it moves into Taurus (in your relationship sector) on 6th June, the vibes are shifting in a major way. You're ready to get more serious about love, but also about your standards. Who do you allow close? Who deserves access to your energy? Taurus Season taught you a lot about patience in relationships, and now Venus in Taurus is here to reward you for the inner work you've done. Get ready to be pleasantly surprised by plot twists in your love life this week. Sagittarius Sun & Rising: Sag, June is starting off spicy — and a bit introspective. The first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June is shining a light on your career sector. If you've been coasting, this is the universe's reminder to get your ducks in a row. The Gemini New Moon on 26th May opened a door to new collaborations and relationships, but now you're starting to feel the weight of responsibilities and expectations. Don't panic; this is your chance to get real about your goals and how you're going to make them happen. Meanwhile, Venus in Aries wraps up its stay in your pleasure sector on June 6th. Did you let yourself have fun, Sag? Or have you been too busy chasing the bag to enjoy the ride? Venus' move into Taurus will help you find more balance — especially in your work-life wellness flow. Taurus energy will stabilise your routines, helping you create sustainable habits that actually support your big dreams. Don't be afraid to say no to overcommitment this week; you've got the whole summer ahead to make it happen. Capricorn Sun & Rising: Cap, you're entering June with a quiet sense of determination. The first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June illuminates your sector of expansion, wisdom, and adventure. You're feeling the urge to travel, learn, and stretch yourself — but the moon is asking: Have you done the inner work to support those big moves? The Gemini New Moon on 26th May brought fresh energy into your routines, but now it's time to check: Are your daily habits aligned with your larger dreams? Don't skip the details. Venus in Aries has been activating your home and family sector, asking you to address any lingering tension in your foundations. As Venus moves into Taurus on 6th June, you'll feel more at ease. This is your time to build a sanctuary, whether that's a cosy apartment, a spiritual practice, or a deeper sense of belonging within yourself. Taurus energy wants you to prioritise what makes you feel safe, secure, and steady. You've been strong for so long, Cap… let yourself be soft. Aquarius, June kicks off with a big reality check. The first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June is spotlighting your sector of transformation, intimacy, and shared resources. If you've been keeping your emotions bottled up, this moon is here to remind you: vulnerability is your superpower. The Gemini New Moon on 26th May brought a burst of creative and romantic energy into your life, but now it's time to get honest about what's really going on beneath the surface. Venus in Aries wraps up its journey through your communication sector on 6th June, so think back: What have you been learning about how you speak up, how you advocate for yourself, and how you hold space for others? As Venus moves into Taurus, your focus shifts to home, family, and roots. It's time to create a stronger sense of belonging — whether that's rearranging your living space or setting firmer boundaries with people who drain your energy. Pisces, the first week of June is asking you to pause and reflect. The first quarter moon in Virgo on 2nd June highlights your relationship sector, stirring up questions: Who is worth your time, and who are you just entertaining out of habit? The Gemini New Moon on 26th May brought fresh energy into your home and family life, and now you're seeing how those shifts impact your connections. Trust what your body tells you about who feels like home, and who doesn't. Meanwhile, for several months Venus in Aries has been in your money and values sector, showing you where you've been underestimating your worth. As Venus moves into its home sign of Taurus on 6th June, you'll feel a wave of confidence. Under this transit, your words carry extra weight, and your voice matters — especially in financial negotiations. Get ready to level up how you advocate for your worth, and also take time to prioritise pleasure and play during Venus in Taurus. There's no need to take yourself too seriously.

Your Horoscope This Week: June 1 To 7
Welcome to June, cosmic beings. Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? The cosmos are vibing differently this week — like, let's actually take a deep breath and recalibrate, because this energy is asking for it. We start the month with the first quarter moon in Virgo on June 2nd at 11:41 p.m. EST, nudging us to organize our lives like our sanity depends on it. Spoiler: it kinda does. Whether it's cleaning out your closet, unsubscribing from random emails, or finally saying goodbye to that project you low-key knew wasn't for you, this is the week to clear the clutter — internally and externally. There's also a semi-sextile between Jupiter in Gemini (which remains in Gemini for nine more days!) and Uranus in Taurus, adding this buzzy, low-key chaotic energy of 'change is coming, but you can't quite name it yet.' So don't panic if you feel like you're on the verge of something… the astrology's got your back, even if you don't know where it's leading yet. Trust the process. The cosmic cherry on top is Venus entering its home sign of Taurus on June 6th. Finally, some lush, grounded, delicious vibes after the firestorm that's been Venus in Aries (remember that wild retrograde though?!). Venus in Taurus is a whole mood shift: think romantic picnics, candlelit dinners, sensual skincare, and that slow, intentional kind of love. We're ready for it. So basically? June is inviting you to slow down, get clear, and prepare for a more rooted, aligned, and pleasure-filled summer. Ready to feel like yourself again? Let's go. Illustrated by Wenjing Yang. Aries, we're kicking off June with a cosmic glow up alert! The first quarter moon in Virgo hits your sector of intimacy, merging, and depth, reminding you to check in on the intentions you set during the Gemini new moon last week. Are you really opening up to those next-level partnerships and resources, or are you low-key ghosting your goals out of fear of not being enough? It's okay to admit you're still learning how to let people in without losing yourself.

Gemini Sun & Rising: Gemini, it's your season, and this week is your cosmic playground, especially because Jupiter's wrapping up its year-long stay in your sign. The first quarter moon in Virgo brings a 'let's get real' vibe to your home and family sector. This could feel like a minor reality check: are you balancing your big dreams with the support systems you need to make them happen? Maybe you've been go-go-go with ideas, but now it's time to check in with the fam or your inner child and see how everyone's holding up. Meanwhile, Venus, the planet of love and relationships, ends its Aries era in your sector of social connections and collaborations this week, so reflect on the lessons you've learned about who really shows up for you.

Your Horoscope This Week: May 18 To 24
Cosmic beings, take a deep breath. You've made it. After the emotional exorcism that was the Scorpio full moon, we're entering a recalibration portal. The week begins with the moon still waning, helping us shed any leftover energetic debris from the past six months. Taurus Season holds us in its earthy arms for just a few more days, reminding us to eat the damn cake, log off early, touch grass, and just be. This final stretch of Taurus Season isn't about pushing forward. It's about softening into what is. Trust that there's power in stillness. Then, on May 20th, the sun shifts into curious, clever Gemini, and everything gets a little lighter. Gemini Season brings us the gift of perspective. If Taurus taught us to build the foundation, Gemini reminds us that we don't have to do it alone. Communication becomes our best friend. Words, ideas, and connections come alive — it's very 'bird leaves the nest' energy. Think: wind in your hair, playlist on shuffle, finally ready to tell your story with no shame in your game. It's a season of creative alignment and mental expansion. But we're still holding one last emotional wave. Saturn, the planet of boundaries and maturity, is completing its final week in Pisces after being there since March 7th, 2023. This is huge. Pisces energy had us swimming in our feels these past two years — dissolving illusions, learning deep soul lessons, and confronting our inner martyr. This week, we may feel that vulnerability hangover. But it's also a powerful threshold moment. Saturn moves into Aries on May 24th for the first time since 1999. A bold new chapter begins. So let yourself cry and let yourself laugh this week. Reflect on what you've outgrown — not with judgment, but with pride. The old version of you got you here. The new version of you? They're about to soar. Illustrated by Wenjing Yang. Aries Sun & Rising: Aries, you know that feeling when the wind changes direction and suddenly everything smells like possibility? That's Gemini Season blowing into your communication sector starting May 20th. The first half of the week still has a Taurus vibe — slow and sensual — but by midweek, your inner narrator kicks in loud and clear. This is the time to share your story, pitch that idea, or finally say the thing you've been holding in your throat since March. You're being reminded that your voice is not only valid, it's powerful. Gemini season wants you to speak boldly, flirt with life, and trust that curiosity leads to connection. And here's the big one: Saturn enters your sign on May 24th for the first time since 1999. The final days of Saturn in Pisces are hitting your spirituality sector, stirring up reflections from the past 14 months. What cycles have you released? What truths did you finally stop running from? It's been quiet work, but it's laid the groundwork. With Saturn in Aries, the training wheels come off. It's not about doing it all at once — it's about taking one aligned step at a time with integrity, courage, and patience. You've got this. Taurus Sun & Rising: It's your final week in the spotlight, Taurus, and you deserve a standing ovation. The sun is in your sign until the 20th, inviting you to soak in your growth and honor the ways you've been blooming quietly and consistently. Your aura's still golden. But as the sun shifts into Gemini, your money and values sector lights up. Gemini Season is about owning your worth and your weirdness. Say yes to the bag, the raise, the next level of financial freedom — but say it with playfulness. Abundance flows faster when you're enjoying the journey. Meanwhile, Saturn is wrapping up its final week in Pisces, your sector of friendships and community. Since March 2023, you've likely learned some major lessons around who gets access to you, and who no longer aligns. Maybe you've outgrown certain group dynamics or decided to unplug from performative online spaces. It's okay to shift how and where you show up. Saturn entering Aries on the 24th moves into your spirituality and healing zone. This isn't about disappearing — it's about retreating when needed to hear your own soul again. Your next evolution is internal before it's external. Gemini Sun & Rising: Welcome to your solar return, Gemini. The sun moves into your sign on May 20th, ushering in a fresh wave of lightness, movement, and divine downloads after a heavy Scorpio full moon and a grounding, sometimes slow-paced Taurus Season. For the past few weeks, you've been processing things behind the scenes — maybe journaling more, maybe lurking instead of posting, maybe even disappearing entirely to reset your nervous system. All of that has been preparing you for the clarity that's now starting to shine … Saturn's final week in Pisces is a big one for you, Gemini — it's the last leg of a deeply karmic career lesson that's been unfolding since March 7th, 2023. You've probably had to redefine what success means to you. Maybe you let go of a job that looked good on paper but drained your spirit. Or maybe you had to slow down your climb to make sure you were actually going in a direction you wanted. Now, with Saturn entering Aries on the 24th, your community sector lights up. Start thinking about your legacy not just in terms of what you're known for, but in terms of what you want to be remembered for. Taurus Season helped you feel a bit more grounded in your friendships and your hopes for the future, Cancer… even if it was a bumpy road getting there. You've probably done a lot of emotional housekeeping this past month, especially in terms of who gets access to you and who truly reciprocates your energy. But now, as the sun enters Gemini on May 20th, your spiritual and healing sector is activated. It's your seasonal cocoon moment. Think: naps that feel like rebirths, music that makes you cry, and a lot of emotional processing of what you're ready to release before your birthday season begins next month. Saturn in Pisces has been riding through your expansion and belief systems sector since March 2023, and this is the last full week of that transit. You've probably learned a lot about the difference between escapism and faith, and you might've had to hit some spiritual walls to figure that out. The next chapter, with Saturn entering Aries on May 24th, will bring a more focused push in your career and long-term goals. This is your final lap of learning how to surrender. Let yourself rest, recharge, and reflect on what it means to trust in the best-case scenario. Because that best case scenario is right around the corner. Leo Sun & Rising: The past few weeks under Taurus Season were all about solidifying your career direction, Leo, but you may have felt some friction when it came to the 'how.' Now, with Gemini Season arriving on May 20th and lighting up your community, tech, and long-term vision sector, the vibes get airier and more future-forward. This is your time to network, launch passion projects, make connections, and remember that you don't have to do it alone. You thrive when you're seen — but only if you're being seen for your authentic self and not for what others expect you to be. Remember that Mars is in your sign until June 17th, so this is literally your time to let your inner child shine. Since March 7th, 2023, Saturn in Pisces has been gently (or not so gently) guiding you through the dark corners of your intimacy, sexuality, and trust sector. You've had to face some fears about vulnerability, debt (energetic and financial), and emotional entanglements. This is the final stretch of a long karmic chapter that taught you how to own your desires and your shadows. With Saturn about to enter Aries and your sector of expansion, your horizons are about to stretch. Let this final week of Pisces remind you of your inner wealth, because it's only going to keep growing in exciting ways. Virgo Sun & Rising: Virgo, Taurus Season gave you room to dream bigger, but it may have also left you feeling like you were caught in a bit of an existential fog. Perhaps you've been trying to stay grounded while also confronting long-held beliefs about what's possible for your life, career, or personal freedom. That paradox softens as the sun enters Gemini on May 20th, activating your sector of career, recognition, and legacy. Gemini Season will bring movement in areas that have felt stagnant, helping you see how your voice is key to your rise. Don't wait for the perfect moment — pitch the thing, post the thing, say the thing. You may be surprised by who's been quietly rooting for you. The more you own your multifaceted brilliance, the more the universe meets you with affirming opportunities. Now, let's talk Saturn. This is your final week with Saturn moving through Pisces, in your relationship and intimacy sector — a transit that's been on since March 7th, 2023. Over the past year, you've likely experienced deep lessons in boundaries, accountability, and self-worth within one-on-one connections. Maybe you've grown more selective about who gets close to you. Maybe someone showed you their true colors, and you had to let go. Saturn in Pisces asked you to be honest about what you need in relationships — and what you're no longer willing to tolerate. When Saturn enters Aries on the 24th, your focus shifts to energetic and financial mergers. Think: collaborations, shared resources, sexual chemistry, and spiritual contracts. It's a new chapter of empowered discernment, and it starts with you trusting your gut. Libra Sun & Rising: Libra, Taurus Season had you thinking a lot about trust — who earns it, who drains it, and how you share your energy in relationships. Now as the sun enters Gemini on May 20th, you're in your element again. Air sign to air sign, this shift activates your sector of expansion, travel, and higher knowledge. You're remembering that you were never meant to stay in one place (physically or mentally). Book the trip. Read the book. Enroll in the class. The more you chase inspiration, the more it lands in your lap. Gemini season is your permission slip to believe in possibilities again — even the ones you shelved back in 2020. This is also the final full week of Saturn in Pisces activating your sector of wellness and routines. Since March 2023, you've likely restructured the way you approach health, work-life balance, and your daily responsibilities. Maybe you've slowed down. Maybe you've had to face burnout and get real about your limits. Saturn taught you that being consistent doesn't mean being robotic — it means honoring your capacity. With Saturn heading into Aries next week, relationships are going to demand more clarity and structure. Think of this as the last call to simplify your habits and strengthen your inner foundation. Scorpio, Taurus Season placed the magnifying glass on your relationships — whether romantic, platonic, or professional — and it probably wasn't subtle. But with the sun entering Gemini on May 20th, your focus shifts from who's pouring into you to what you're actually building with the energy you receive. This is your time to merge wisely: Gemini Season activates your sector of intimacy, shared resources, sex, and transformation. The theme? Energy exchange. If someone isn't meeting you halfway, emotionally, financially, spiritually, that's your cue to re-evaluate. Keep an eye out for opportunities to collaborate or secure funding; abundance is already circling. You just need to ask, and trust that you're worthy. Since March 2023, Saturn in Pisces has been moving through your sector of pleasure, creativity, and true love. You've likely gone through some karmic tests around dating, self-expression, and confidence — especially when it comes to inner child healing. Now that Saturn's wrapping up this journey, take time to notice how much you've matured in your capacity to receive joy and love without fear. When Saturn enters Aries on the 24th, you'll feel pushed to apply that wisdom toward creating a more sustainable, productive lifestyle. It's time to show up for your own growth like it's the main character. Sagittarius Sun & Rising: Sag, you're the zodiac's freedom fighter, but Taurus Season reminded you that freedom isn't just about breaking rules, it's about discipline too. Now as the sun enters Gemini on May 20th, you'll feel like the fog lifts. Gemini rules your relationship sector, so expect your social life and romantic connections to speed up. People want to talk to you, flirt with you, collaborate with you. Stay open, but don't lose your discernment. The next four weeks are all about reciprocity — how balanced your bonds really are. If you've outgrown a connection, Gemini Season makes it hard to pretend otherwise. This week also marks the end of Saturn in Pisces' transit through your home and family sector. Since March 2023, you've been working through ancestral healing, boundary setting with loved ones, and maybe even rethinking where or how you want to live. It hasn't always been easy, but it's been necessary. As Saturn moves into Aries on the 24th, joy and pleasure are back on your agenda. You're about to be reminded that healing doesn't always have to be heavy. Sometimes it looks like laughing in the sun, finishing a painting, or letting yourself fall in love again. Capricorn Sun & Rising: Taurus Season grounded you in the present, Capricorn, but it also showed you where you've been resisting softness. Now as Gemini Season begins on May 20th, the tempo picks up. Your sector of wellness, work, and routine is lit, and so is your desire to reinvent how you get things done. Think of this next chapter as a systems update. You can streamline, simplify, and restructure everything from your sleep schedule to your to-do list. But don't just optimize for productivity — optimize for peace. Gemini wants you to work smarter, not harder. You're also closing out Saturn in Pisces' journey through your communication sector, a chapter that started in March 2023. You may have learned how to say less, but mean more. Or maybe you found your voice after a period of being misunderstood. Either way, you've grown. With Saturn about to enter Aries, your focus shifts to home, roots, and emotional safety. It's giving 'main character builds their sanctuary' energy. Start with one corner of your life and make it sacred. Aquarius, Taurus Season made you face your foundations, your emotional roots, your family dynamics, and what safety even means to you. Now Gemini Season begins on May 20th, and it's bringing back your spark. Gemini activates your sector of creativity, joy, romance, and pleasure. If you've been feeling like life's beenall grit and no glitter, that's about to shift. Let yourself flirt with your passions again. This season is about what turns you on — creatively, emotionally, spiritually. What makes you laugh from your belly? What makes you feel seen? Do more of that. Saturn is also wrapping up its 13-month transit through your sector of finances and self-worth. Since March 2023, you've had to get serious about what you value and how you value yourself. Maybe you've had money wins, maybe you've faced losses — either way, you've learned resilience. Now that Saturn's headed into Aries, your communication style is about to get a glow-up. You'll find more confidence in how you share your voice, your boundaries, and your brilliance. Stay ready. Pisces Sun & Rising: Pisces, Pisces, Pisces… you've been riding Saturn in your sign since March 2023, and it's been a lot. Identity crises, growing pains, spiritual tests — it's all been part of your evolution. But you're at the finish line now. Gemini Season starts May 20th and shifts your focus toward home, emotional safety, and rest. Let yourself retreat. You're in your nesting era. Redecorate your space, call your people back, allow softness to be your anchor. After everything you've released under the Scorpio full moon, this season is about choosing peace on purpose. As Saturn prepares to leave your sign on the 24th, it's a powerful time to reflect on the commitments you've made to your growth — and the ones you're still resisting. You've learned how to say no. You've learned how to say 'I'm not ready yet.' You've learned that boundaries can be sacred. With Saturn entering Aries, your relationship with money and self-worth will take center stage. Let that next chapter be one where your inner values are mirrored in what you receive. You're ready.
