You sense that there are better times ahead. This understanding may be a call to get your life and daily routines sorted out so you can engage with new plans. Whatever is coming your way doesn’t have to clash with your schedule if you act now. Ready to team up with key people? With Mercury joining Mars in Scorpio, powerful conversations could ring in big changes.

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

A burst of positivity brings the best out in you and others, and might inspire you to down tools and do something you enjoy. Romance may be in the air and it could be someone who you’ve known for a while and have grown fond of. This weekend Mercury enters Scorpio. You’ll manage your time, commitments and finances with flair. You’ll enjoy indulging too.

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

The comforts of home may be very enticing as the Sun and Mercury continue their journey through your domestic zone. Use this opportunity to enjoy some nurturing and self-care. You could also experience conflict with someone who refuses to compromise. Stay calm, as by the weekend they could change their outlook. Plus, a social event will fill you with happiness.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

You’ll be in a sociable and vivacious mood, making this a good time for connecting with kindred spirits, old friends and even arranging a get-together for relaxation and a chance to catch up. There could be some tension with someone at work. Don’t let it linger over the weekend, as the sooner it’s resolved, the better. And a brilliant opportunity may come your way, so be ready!

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

You may be in two minds about whether to spend your money on treats or invest it. An item you strongly desire might call out to you, but once you get it you could regret it. It can be wiser to keep the money in your bank account. You’ll also be more persuasive as Mercury moves into Scorpio. Keen to manipulate a situation to get the best outcome? Leave it to evolve naturally.

Libra 24 September – 23 October

An opportunity that you coveted could show up again, and if it does then go for it! You may not get another chance. And yet if you continue to dream rather than act, it will always remain out of reach. Mercury will join Mars in your money zone this weekend, so your resourceful nature will be to the fore. And a Venus/Jupiter tie hints at a well-deserved spa or pampering session.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

This week begins on a deceptively quiet note and gets more intense by the weekend. An issue you’ve been dealing with may come to a head, and you might wonder whether to listen to your logical or intuitive side to find answers. Stay open-minded and the information you need will show up at the right time. Ready to party? A social event could be an occasion to remember.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

There’s a shift to a more spiritual and private phase as Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio. Before this, a focus on your social zone encourages you to get out and have fun. Connect with friends, enjoy the groups or clubs you are a part of, and think about arranging a reunion if there’s someone you miss. Need to recharge? A quiet focus suggests it’s time to ease off the accelerator.

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

You’ll be basking in the spotlight with the Sun and Mercury in a prominent zone, so keep showcasing your skills, knowledge and experience. You could also clash with someone in authority or be in two minds about a goal. Don’t do anything until you’re clear on your options. As Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio, you’ll be mixing with people who could change your life.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

A chance for a short break or a workshop on a key subject could lead to new developments. You don’t need an excuse to get away, Aquarius. So if you fancy a break, just go! There’s also an emphasis on getting ahead. You’ll be in the spotlight, so use this chance to promote your skills. Plus, a delightful Venus/Jupiter tie hints at good fortune connected to your home and family.

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

If recent weeks have enabled you to resolve key issues once and for all, then you should be proud of yourself. Whatever needs clearing up or finishing, just do it, Pisces! The sooner you get it out of the way, the sooner you’ll have time for more engaging goals. The shift to more adventurous pursuits could be a call to travel, study or to grasp new opportunities and challenges.
