Mars hits a trigger point with Chiron in Aries on Thursday/Friday. In general, this transit is best used to shake off the workweek and let off steam this weekend. If it hits home deeper for you, know you can’t conquer the moment unless you face it. In this regard, the transit can serve as a positive catalyst or stimulant. Aim to get to it before it overtakes you. When Chiron is in the mix, there’s always an element of no pain, no gain. Take care of what you can as you can, and while you are at it, make sure to put yourself at the top of the TLC/good-mothering list.

Mars has recently entered Cancer and will remain in this sign through July 1. This transit spotlights home, real estate, and family; how we nurture, nourish, and digest. At the soul level, it directs fresh attention toward comfort zones, security, and self-preservation needs. Most importantly, Mars in Cancer brings the past forward in some significant and karmic way. It can be a matter of consequences on the catch-up, of breaking free from the repeating loop, or of using the past as a foundation from which to launch the next chapter. One way or another, the action planet targets necessary evolution.

Overall, the stars keep it rolling well through Monday (Memorial Day weekend). Tuesday through Thursday, the Aries moon revs it up. Stimulating the talk, trading, trends, and creative opportunity, Mercury in Gemini is on the go with Neptune on Tuesday (square) and Jupiter on Wednesday (opposition). There’s something to uncover, more to learn/know, or an element of shooting in the dark before netting gain.

Aries
March 20 - April 20

Mars in Cancer can keep sensitive emotions (yours or theirs) on a ready trigger through the end of the workweek. Don’t stuff it; deal with it head-on. The faster you address it, the faster you can move past it. Saturday through Monday, time evaporates. There is no place better than right where you are. Tuesday to next Thursday revs it/you up, perhaps unexpectedly.

Taurus
April 20 - May 21

Thursday/Friday could expose something that has been on brew for a while. Intuition reads more into something said, not said, or inferred. Wrestling with yourself or your conscience? See it as a call to action. Despite tension from the stars prior to and after, the weekend should prove a smooth sail. Tuesday to Thursday, it comes out of nowhere. Stay alert; grab opportunity.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

The end of the workweek keeps you going full swing. Friday night is your best for a social night or evening out. Whether or not you have something special planned, it’s a good weekend for soaking up a peaceful, easy feeling. Sunday through next Thursday, go by feel but don’t take it at face value. There is more than meets the eye.

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

Step out of your comfort zone Thursday/Friday. Face a challenge; challenge the rules or be the one to get it off the ground. To the plus, Mars/Chiron can help you tear down a wall and push past an important roadblock (inner/outer). Saturday to Monday, relax and ease up. Tuesday to Thursday, there’s a new reality to take on. You’ll learn and gain as you go.

Leo
July 22 - August 23

Friday is a busy one. The weekend runs along a mostly smooth and fluid track. Sunday/Monday, you could lose track of time or spending. Whether subtle or strong, something distracting can pull on you before and after the weekend. Watch for the confirmation, answer, or solution to take on a life of its own. Tuesday to Thursday, the stars set you onto full swing.

Virgo
August 23 - September 23

Not yet ready or clear? Have you been toying with it or wrestling with yourself of late? As of Friday, Mars hits a breakthrough point with Chiron. Take the weekend for yourself and aim to dive into it fresh on Tuesday. Uncertainty remains, but by the end of the week you should feel you have something more tangible to go on.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

Something spontaneous and/or social hits the spot for your Friday-evening entertainment. Find some quiet time this weekend to decompress, replenish, and catch up with yourself. As of Tuesday, it’s time to hit the ground running again. Wednesday/Thursday, it can be difficult to know exactly where it’s heading, but by Friday you should feel you have reached someplace worthwhile.

Scorpio
October 23 - November 22

You can’t play it safe and take a risk at the same time. Mars on Thursday/Friday can prod or force you to step outside of your comfort zone. Go by feel; let intuition or circumstance guide you. Ease your way into it this weekend. Go with the flow. Tuesday through Thursday, there’s a fresh battle to face.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

It is easy to get caught up in the emotion of it or the needs of others, especially Thursday/Friday. Extra breathing space does you good as the workweek finishes out. The weekend keeps you soft around the edges and soaking it all in. Tuesday, hit it fresh. Past Wednesday you’ll gain a better sense of where to go or how it’s shaping up.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

Pushing past it can be something of a battle on Thursday/Friday, but Mars/Chiron is determined to get you moved along. Overall, the weekend is good for easing up and making it up as you go. As of Tuesday, it’s time to hit the ground running. By Thursday/Friday you’ll have a clearer sense and/or a better grip.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

The Aquarius moon keeps you on the go Thursday/Friday. Chill out or hide out this weekend. Monday starts the new week with plenty to keep you occupied, but you’ll feel better wired up and faster on the uptake as of Tuesday. Wednesday/Thursday, don’t guess or assume. Watch for the moment to reveal it and/or to inform you.

Pisces
February 18 - March 20

Thursday/Friday can keep emotions on ready or short trigger. For the weekend, the Pisces moon sets up a mostly smooth sail. Tuesday to Thursday, you can feel vulnerable, uncertain, confused, or overwhelmed. Go easy on yourself and/or on it. Don’t drink and drive. Watch for Mercury/Neptune to expose more or to clear up something. Friday, results are good.
