Mars meets Saturn at the beginning of the week, which means it's not a good time to take risks. And Venus makes a harmonious connection with Saturn on April 7, bringing supportive energy for forming commitments. Meanwhile, Mercury is retrograde—find out what this means for you by reading your horoscope below.

Aries

Monday asks you to slow down and take a closer look at your larger career goals: Your ruling planet, fiery and impetuous Mars, meets up with responsible Saturn. Keep aggressive behavior in check on Wednesday, when Mars confronts communication planet Mercury. Save the steam (and fighting words) for your diary!

Taurus

This is going to be a very testing week! By the end of it, you’ll feel fully prepared to make up your mind about some serious commitments. Luckily for you, your ruling planet Venus will make a harmonious connection to serious Saturn on Saturday, helping you figure out what you need to do.

Gemini

Arguments and misunderstandings will bubble up midweek—your ruling planet Mercury, which is currently retrograde, will clash with action planet Mars. Pivotal, and unusually somber, conversations will follow, helping you clear up any confusion that may arise. Keep your head up!

Cancer

You’re experiencing a frustrating sense of urgency around commitments in your relationships right now. Slow it down! It's best to wait, especially since Mercury is currently retrograde. You’ll have some important, challenging conversations this week that will help you decide the best course of action.

Leo

You’ll find yourself struggling with the urge to rush into some sort of commitment in your relationships early this week. Wait it out—Mercury is retrograde, so now is not the time to act. On Saturday, you’ll have a strengthened capability to make an informed decision, as lovely Venus connects with reasonable Saturn.

Virgo

Unexpected news from the past will crash your party midweek, propelling you into some serious, sobering discussions. Your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde, so wait out any major decisions until you have all information before you.

Libra

Arguments with a partner could get out of hand midweek, as messenger planet Mercury's retrograde will make communication difficult and frustrating. By Saturday, things will clear up. Your ruling planet Venus will connect with responsible Saturn, helping you feel equipped to make a mature decision.

Scorpio

Be receptive on Monday: Your ruling planet, warrior Mars, meets serious (and occasionally curmudgeonly!) Saturn. Slow down and get all of the details. Be wary of gossip or faulty information. Things will improve by Saturday; the energy that day will support commitment and contractual agreements.

Sagittarius

Money planet Venus makes a harmonious connection to industrious Saturn on Saturday, increasing your cash flow—if you can be responsible, that is. Can you make time in your schedule for some odd gigs?

Capricorn

Don't rush into any commitments early this week, Capricorn. You may be excited, but Mercury is retrograde, so slow down. Arguments midweek will lead to sobering conversations. By Saturday, you'll be feeling well equipped to make an informed decision.

Aquarius

Don't jump to conclusions early this week—you don't have all of the information yet. After some frustrating arguments midweek, followed by a few days of careful consideration and some rumination, you’ll feel ready to make an important decision about your domestic life on Saturday.

Pisces

Being uninformed or kept in the dark can breed insecurity. You’ll have some illuminating—if slightly frustrating—conversations with colleagues this week, revealing the truth about your cash flow. Confide in those closest to you for support.
