Aries
March 21 – April 19
The pace of life is quickened in a way that is hard to fully comprehend. As such, the chances are high that you’ve put so many personal passions and pursuits on the back burner. As Mars, your patron planet, starts to head backward in your recreation zone, consider what it is you may like to re-create. What is life if there isn’t a pet project you can dive into that motivates and inspires you? Do something you enjoy, just because.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Right now, you’ve got two options when it comes to handling your domestic life. One is to dig your heels in and get your way. Two, tap into your calm and serene nature and let things run their course. The reality is that a combination of both may be what eventuates. However, the more you can consider the perspectives of others, the more you can gain their compliance. Choose your battles wisely this week.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
When life feels like it is pulling you in all directions, you have a choice to make. You can gain more facts, opinions, and general input, but eventually, you will have to decide. As Mars moves in reverse, you may need to put your own desires to the top of the list and let the other areas of life sort themselves out. That said, you really also need to keep the longer term in mind, too.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You have a very rare opportunity to totally redo the way you do money. It’s not just about your bank account, either. The process you’re now in is about prosperity and abundance in all areas. Ask any successful person how they got to where they are and they’ll tell you they had an unshakable confidence in their desires. For the next little while, start fine-tuning your desires. What do you want? - is more of a loaded question than most people realize.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Be prepared for everything to start to go a little bit haywire. One day, you’ll be unstoppable, while the following, you’ll feel like you’ve been hit by a bus. That is the nature of Mars retrograde, even more so when it is in your sign. Be prepared to feel constantly tested when it comes to your desires, energy, and things out of life that you want. The Universe isn’t telling you no; it’s just testing how bad you want it.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You can choose to stress over a problem you don’t really have the capacity to change. Another option is to do your best to go with the flow and let the cookie crumble where it may. You see, the more you choose to let go of the things that take your energy unnecessarily, the more capacity you’ll have to solve the problems that can be solved. This week, remember that how you think about things can be more of a problem than the problem itself.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
This week, you may need to reassess where you’re putting your social energy. A lot of people may want a piece of you as the silly season is in full swing. However, you may not want to spend your time, energy, and resources on certain people or situations. They say the five people you spend the most time with will determine the direction of your life. You may need to ponder this idea over the next several weeks.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
At this time of year, it’s normal to start basking in the year’s achievements that’s almost over. At the same time, you may also be considering the direction you want to take next year. You’ve got some big goals in terms of your career and your life direction overall. It may take a little time to get things rolling; however, the more time you spend strategizing, the more likely you’ll hit the target you’ve got your eye on.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
The week begins with a renewed sense of passion, purpose, and motivation. That being said, sometimes you must draw your bow back further than you think to ensure you get your aim right. You might be deciding that in 2025, you’ve got some big goals you want to hit. This week, you may have to start giving some thought as to what these might be. The world really is your oyster; it’s just up to you to seize it.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
There are times when progress happens faster than we expect. Then, there are times when it’s painfully slow. Right now, it may be helpful for you to take heed of the following idea – the sooner you fall behind, the longer you’ll have to catch up. For now, your best bet may be to relax, meditate, and dream up your ideal life. Get behind your biggest desires if they are what you want to manifest. Start being the person you’d be if you already had your dreams come true.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Relationships may be a battlefield for the next little while. However, with every problem you encounter, there is also an opportunity to make the connection stronger. Your mission is to learn how to fight the problem and not fight each other. One way or another, sparks are likely to fly. You want to ensure that it is the exciting kind rather than the problematic kind of sparks you are igniting. Choose your battles wisely.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
You might be getting to the point where you’re overworking. You’ve set some pretty big goals for yourself, and the work is far from over. This phase you’re entering this week may be more about learning to rest when you need to rather than give up. As we approach the holidays, you might take this opportunity to think about how you can improve your work/life balance for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
