ARIES

(April 19 – May 14)

Aries, you're beginning to regain your sense of self-confidence as the Sun enters your sign. While things aren't completely settled just yet and some areas still feel a little unclear, your perception is sharpening. You're starting to feel ready to move forward with renewed willpower and optimism. However, power dynamics may still be at play, and now that you're regaining your strength, there's a risk of overdoing it. This is a reminder to trust that everything happens for a reason. Be mindful of pushing too hard—stay grounded and calm in the face of any turbulence.

Mercury Retrograde officially comes to a close on April 26th, as it exits its post-shadow phase. This will offer you a much clearer sense of direction, though you may still need to release some lingering, pent-up energy that’s been building beneath the surface.

The New Moon on April 27th occurs in your sign, offering a powerful chance to start fresh. However, this period might come with some stop-and-start energy, and you could find yourself feeling a bit drained. There may be unresolved matters that need your attention before you can fully step into this new beginning. Even though your clarity has returned, your energy is still in recovery mode. Take this time to reflect, recharge, and be gentle with yourself and those around you—your healing journey is still unfolding.

The Full Moon on May 12th lights up your house of analysis, urging you to release the old to make space for the new. Still, it’s important to stay grounded and set realistic expectations, particularly in your relationships. You might also find that opening up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable helps deepen your connections. Showing your human side won’t make you weaker—it’ll make you more relatable and real.

TAURUS

(May 14 – June 20)

Taurus, you are like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. This transformation, though beautiful, can feel uncomfortable as you step into the unknown. On one hand, it’s thrilling; on the other, it’s daunting—especially for someone who finds comfort in the familiar. Still, your creative spark is urging you to take a leap of faith. The universe is ready to support you, as long as you're willing to release what no longer aligns with your path forward.

Mercury Retrograde officially ends on April 26th, clearing the fog in your thoughts and communication. You'll start to feel more clarity and ease when expressing yourself and making decisions.

The New Moon on April 27th may stir some tension or a sense of melancholy as you begin to shed old limitations, habits, or roles that once felt safe but have held you back. It’s natural for you to crave stability, Taurus, but this transformation is unfolding with or without your permission. Let go of resistance and try to embrace the journey—you might just find beauty in the unexpected.

The Full Moon on May 12th is likely to be an emotionally sensitive time. People close to you may stir old wounds or insecurities, and emotional ups and downs—whether yours or theirs—may feel more intense than usual. The best medicine? Channel your energy into something that inspires you. Creative or grounding activities can help you stay centered and bring comfort during this emotionally charged phase.

GEMINI

(June 21 – July 19)

Gemini, your mind is working overtime right now, and you might find yourself needing a little space away from the noise and distractions of the outside world. There’s a chance you're feeling slightly low or unsettled, as though you're being nudged outside your comfort zone. It’s okay to let your thoughts roam—just be mindful that your inner world might be painting things more dramatically than they actually are. Grounding practices like deep breathing and walks in nature can bring the clarity and calm you need.

Mercury Retrograde officially ends on April 26th, and with it, some of the mental fog begins to lift. Your usual sharp thinking and communication skills return, helping you see things with much more precision.

The Full Moon on May 12th may highlight differences in opinion or communication challenges, calling for a bit more tact and diplomacy. You might even feel tongue-tied or hesitant to speak at all. Don’t let self-doubt creep in. Stay true to yourself and remember—diverse perspectives make the world richer. Trust that your voice has value, even if it's not always met with immediate understanding.

CANCER

(July 20 – August 8)

Cancer, your instincts are razor-sharp right now, and with that heightened intuition comes a restless desire to uproot and seek new ground. You may find yourself feeling unusually brave—ready to act on a deep inner knowing. Your stamina is steady, and your gut feelings are guiding you well, but remember: strategy is key. Trust your inner compass, but avoid impulsive moves. A step-by-step approach will lead to a more grounded and lasting outcome.

As Mercury Retrograde fully wraps up on April 26th, you may realize that not everything needs to be said—or can be said with words.

The New Moon on April 27th may stir emotional volatility. You might feel emotionally reactive or experience frustrating delays that hold back your momentum.

LEO

(August 10 – September 15)

Tension may be brewing around your commitments, Leo. On one hand, you might feel inspired and optimistic, but on the other, there’s a sense that your personal needs are being overlooked—or perhaps someone close to you feels this way, and you're not fully grasping their perspective. Be mindful of self-sabotaging behaviors as your ruling planet, the Sun, takes the heat in a T-square. Humility isn’t your go-to approach—you prefer to shine, not to shrink—but taking things too personally could be your undoing.

Mercury Retrograde fully ends on April 26th, and while this usually brings clarity, you might still feel somewhat sidelined or unseen. Be cautious of a “one step forward, two steps back” pattern. Patience—with yourself or others—is essential now, especially as the energy remains volatile and has been for some time.

The New Moon on April 27th offers a renewed sense of self-confidence, though you may still feel underwhelmed by the responses you’re getting from those around you. There could be unresolved tension around home or family matters that needs attention.

Come the Full Moon on May 12th, an old wound around relationships and commitment could resurface. This moment brings pressure to shift your perspective or face deeply embedded emotional patterns. Though uncomfortable, this process is ultimately healing. You're being supported through it, and it’s all pushing you toward a clearer understanding of yourself—and others.

VIRGO

Things may feel like they’re slowly coming undone in your life, Virgo. There’s a sense that something is wrapping up, though the process seems to be moving at a crawl. You could be in the midst of a psychological shift, gradually preparing yourself for major changes—possibly in more than one area of your life. While things might not have turned out exactly as you envisioned, you've somehow settled into this uncertain space. Financial struggles continue to weigh heavily, making things feel especially intense right now. The good news is that you're approaching the end of this challenging cycle, though you may still need to face a few unresolved issues.

LIBRA

(October 31 – November 22)

Libra, you may be sensing a disconnect between your surroundings and your core values—or perhaps it's you who's been acting a little out of alignment with your true self. There’s an inner shift underway, especially around self-empowerment. Maybe you’ve been prioritizing others’ needs over your own, or perhaps you've been overly self-focused. Either way, this moment invites growth and a chance to restore balance.

SCORPIO

(November 23 – November 29)

Scorpio, disruptions may be surfacing within your social circles, leaving you feeling somewhat targeted or misunderstood. Communication feels like a game of highs and lows—just when you think you’re making progress, the dynamic shifts.

You may find your patience being tested, Ophiuchus, but you're currently in a balanced and centred state of mind. There's a harmonious alignment between your masculine and feminine energies, allowing you to see things from a uniquely insightful perspective.

Yet, your sharp perception allows you to see things as they truly are, and you understand that deep, widespread healing is needed.

The Full Moon on May 12th may bring unresolved childhood wounds to the surface—not necessarily your own, but those of others.

CAPRICORN

(January 19 – February 15)

Capricorn, are you putting your own needs on the back burner? You can clearly see what needs to be done, yet for some reason, it’s not syncing up with your daily routine. Certain planetary alignments are hinting at a thread of self-destructive behavior. This energy has been lingering for some time—it may not be intentional on your part, but perhaps you simply feel there aren’t enough hours in the day to focus on yourself. Still, you're in the midst of a powerful personal transformation, especially if you were born in the first 10 degrees or days of Capricorn.

Mercury Retrograde comes to a complete end on April 26th, and while you're beginning to feel the fog lift, there's still some heavy energy around—particularly in your communications. There may be a sense of selfishness in your interactions, leaving you feeling drained and a bit out of sync.

However, this phase is meant to bring clarity—it’s pushing you to see the truth in whatever situation you’re currently navigating.

Trust that this is all part of your spiritual evolution—it may not feel easy now, but it’s here to serve your growth in the long run.

AQUARIUS

(February 16 – March 11)

You’re feeling a powerful urge to break free, Aquarius, and right now, you’re not tolerating any restrictions—it's crystal clear to you what no longer aligns. You might be sensing destructive energies either in your immediate surroundings or on a global scale, stirring a deep desire within you to take action.

This season encourages you to step into your authenticity and engage with what truly resonates at your core.

With Mercury Retrograde coming to a complete end on April 26th, you’ll likely feel a shift—both internally and externally—that brings a sense of relief. Opportunities are beginning to surface, and if you stay open, there’s a lot waiting for you.

The New Moon on April 27th might bring a sense of fatigue as a certain life cycle draws to a close. You may find yourself tying up loose ends, and while necessary, it could feel draining. There may also be situations weighing on you—especially if you're witnessing injustice, which always strikes a chord in your Aquarian heart.

The Full Moon on May 12th could bring about an unexpected ending or a sudden shift in plans. It might feel like you're being pushed back to square one, which could be frustrating or disorienting. However, this redirection may turn out to be a hidden blessing—encouraging you to realign and reassess your next steps from a place of clarity and purpose.

PISCES
