A new British PM, the escalation in Hong Kong, Iran and the USA; politics, economics, and high heat; here and everywhere—what a week! Mars/Jupiter has been raising the stakes while also stoking the fire of desire and “I deserve” all week.

Offering a jump-start on the weekend, Mars/Jupiter is at peak on Thursday. On the pleasurable side of life, this “built for ease” transit sets a great backdrop for enjoyment and for rewarding yourself more—for travel, vacations, and lovers.

On the bigger-picture note, Mars/Jupiter says live it up today but also direct attention toward tomorrow’s potential gains. Although there’s still another week to go of Mercury retrograde, it is time to explore more, aim higher, and go further. Stay game; up your game, too. The sun (newly in Leo), Venus in Leo (starting late Saturday), and next Wednesday’s super new moon in Leo support that agenda.

What makes you happy? What makes you shine? The next few weeks are revitalizing, especially regarding creative opportunity, confidence levels, and beating hearts. Gift yourself more. Love the one you are with! Mars, continuing in Leo, says self-love is the best place to start.

During the coming weeks, Venus can enhance financial and romantic prospects. Late Monday, sun/Uranus hits a trigger or a breaker switch. An unblock, unlock, strike-flint, or freeing influence, this transit can act as a positive stimulant or bring a welcome release. Through Tuesday, there may be something to confront, reassess, work through, or finish.

Mercury retrograde ends on Wednesday’s super new moon in Leo. Goodbye to July; hello, August! Consider the next few weeks a fresh chance to take delivery of the season’s best.

Sun/Uranus can stimulate a fresh impulse, insight, or something timely.

Taurus
April 20 - May 21

Thursday/Friday are great for getting a move on. Mars/Jupiter in full swing boosts your physical energy, confidence, and sense of “I deserve”. Spontaneous or planned, Saturday/Sunday keeps you on a good roll. For the next several weeks, Venus in Leo keeps you focused on getting more of the good stuff and on bettering your best. Monday/Tuesday can trigger something fresh or unexpected.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

Thursday/Friday, good things can happen when you stay game/stay ready. Mars/Jupiter is ideal for travel, adventure, and putting yourself out there. Someone or something can make a big impression on you. Venus in Leo, starting Saturday, and the super new moon in Leo, launching Wednesday, pump up your social life and romantic prospects. The moment is what you make of it!

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

Thursday/Friday, your timing is good; the going gets easier. Know you can do more and get further. You may spend more, but likely you’ll feel the outlay is worthwhile. For the next several weeks, Venus in Leo helps you to make the most of what you have to work with. Monday/Tuesday can see you make a breakthrough with someone or something.

Leo
July 22 - August 23

The stars now make you the chosen one. Claim your spotlight and watch for special attention and good feedback to come your way.

Virgo
August 23 - September 23

If you feel juiced up, great—go for it. If it isn’t coming naturally, you don’t have to hit go quite yet. The stars renew your prescription for an extended time to regroup, heal, and get yourself better prepared. A vacation is well timed, especially a vacation from fear-based emotions. Relax, enjoy, and chill out until you feel the moment speaking to you.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

While Mercury retrograde continues in Cancer, the sun, Mars, Venus, and a super new moon pick it up in Leo. You’re on the upswing as of Thursday. This next week is ideal for pleasure pursuits, socializing, travel, vacations, and lovemaking. Spend on a good time or a treat; gift a loved one; brighten someone’s day (that someone could be you).

Scorpio
October 23 - November 22

Go right ahead: choose from your own playlist. Do what makes you feel good/feel happy; make the most of it. Through Sunday, places to go, things to do, conversation, and fresh ideas—a good time is on the ready dial-up. Monday/Tuesday shifts your attention and/or triggers something fresh. As of Wednesday onward, you’ll get a better handle on it

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

Thursday/Friday, opportunity is up for grabs; try your luck. Travel, performing, fun, and playtime top the pick list. Perhaps there is something special to do or convey or someone special to meet. Monday/Tuesday, there’s stuff to work out. Look to sun, Mars, Venus, and Wednesday’s super new moon in Leo to keep you and the action sunny-side up.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

Although the moon is waning until next Wednesday’s super new moon, Mars/Jupiter (Thursday/Friday), Venus freshly into Leo (as of Saturday), and sun/Uranus (Monday/Tuesday) pick up the slack. In vacation mode, socializing, loving them up, or on the money chase, expect to keep busy with one thing or another through month’s end. The getting is good.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Coming soon or right here and right now, Mars/Jupiter puts something special on the go. Thursday through Sunday, travel, share, celebrate; chill out or put yourself out there. No matter where you find yourself, it’s all good. Monday, sun/Uranus can let you off the hook or trigger something fresh or unexpected. Tuesday/Wednesday, go by feel.

Pisces
February 18 - March 20

Thursday/Friday puts you on the upswing regarding work, working it out, or health. Good advice is worth heeding; intuition is too. Now through the end of the month is also an ideal time to take a vacation, to relax more, to reconnect with folks, or to catch up with yourself. Monday/Tuesday can spark something extra or unexpected.
