Aries season begins with a celestial traffic jam centering around the ego-driven Sun as it begins its trek through the fire-ruled sign known for its assertive, bold energy. Saturn, Neptune, Venus retrograde, and Mercury retrograde all fly in tandem with the Sun, creating a potent blend of positive and negative attributes. On the one hand, creativity and discipline increase. But on the other hand, the two retrograde planets suggest that this creativity and discipline will be needed to overcome miscommunications, tech mishaps, and potentially poor investments. This will be a time of tremendous learning, growing, and fortifying.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Your ruling planet’s ongoing conjunction with Venus retrograde in Aries creates a high likelihood of misunderstandings and setbacks. Proceed with caution, Gemini. Be careful not to jump to conclusions today as your retrograde ruling planet muddies communicative pathways and destabilizes expansive efforts like travel, education, and career development. A few moments of self-reflection before deciding can go a long way.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
The waning gibbous Moon forms a direct opposition to Jupiter under Sagittarius and Gemini, signaling the potential for misfortune or feelings of stagnancy. Pay attention to the sticky wheels, Cancer. These problem areas can reveal far more about ourselves than our anxiety and ego will have us believe. There are ways to use this to your advantage, stargazer.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
The Sun begins its trek through Aries in conjunction with several planets, including Venus retrograde, Mercury retrograde, Neptune, and Saturn. This volatile blend of cosmic energy might feel overwhelming at times. The stars urge you to push through the initial discomfort and keep pushing forward. This cosmic alignment suggests you’ll come out stronger on the other side sooner than you think.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Your ruling planet continues to move further into its conjunction with Venus retrograde, a potent celestial alignment now joined by the ego-driven Sun in Aries. Retrogrades get a bad reputation, but they also serve as invaluable opportunities to reflect and learn. Focus on what you can learn, not what you can change, Virgo. There will be plenty of information to absorb.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde continue their conjunction in Aries, both planets flying in tandem with the Sun.

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Pluto’s positive sextile with the Sun is joined by Venus retrograde, bringing with it greater attention to emotional well-being, financial stability, and self-esteem. The favorable aspect between these celestial bodies indicates prosperity ahead, even if you have to endure a few retrograde shake-ups in order to enjoy it. It’s all part of the process. Take it as it comes.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, forms a direct opposition to the waning gibbous Moon under Gemini and your celestial domain. An inability to let go of the past will inevitably lead to emotional and mental clutter. Releasing these aspects of your former self isn’t the sign of failure you think it is. On the contrary, it’s a promising sign of growth.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
A brief but challenging square between your ruling planet, Saturn, and the waning gibbous Moon raises conflict around rest, release, and recalibration. You mustn’t ignore your subconscious cues to slow down and take it easy, Capricorn. Your mind and spirit will find a way to reset one way or another. Wouldn’t you rather have a say in how it happens?
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
A favorable sextile between Pluto and Venus retrograde under your celestial domain and Aries suggests a shift in how you approach your relationships, finances, or both. Keep an open heart and mind as the cosmos leads you to these new revelations and techniques, Aquarius. Your capacity to learn and, moreover, the necessity to do so should not be underestimated.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
A tense square between the waning gibbous Moon and Saturn under Sagittarius and your celestial domain suggests an inability or unwillingness to let something go. When the universe calls us to close one chapter, we can’t stubbornly will more pages to appear. As frightening as this change can feel in the moment, is it really any scarier than stagnating, Pisces?
