Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) – Happy birthday, Scorpio! Venus is in your sign, bringing lots of social connections and fun! Saturn moves direct, which can help smooth relationship issues and get commitment to wobbly “situationships”. Mercury turns retrograde, and it wants you to meditate on your spending and on setting financial goals. You can make great leaps in terms of prosperity! If you feel spiritually uninspired, go back to an old meditation or yoga practice to feel more “plugged in”.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) – Mercury is retrograde in your sign, which is great for meditation and personal reflection. Mars is also in your sign, which can be helpful for planning meaningful goals. This combination reinvigorates dreams on which you’d given up. Now can be the right timing! Jupiter turns retrograde and brings a depth of sensuousness to your relationship, or you can meet a new partner and form a passionate connection!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) – Mercury is retrograde and brings you very inspired meditations! You can also have very active dreams, since Mars is also involved. Be kind to yourself if you feel old anger resurfacing. Allow this deeper level of healing to occur. It’s a “deep cleaning” of your psyche. Afterward, you’ll find that you’re more open and trusting in relationships. You’ll also feel a sense of grounding and steadiness in your own mind that hasn’t been present for quite a while!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) – Saturn moves directly this month and helps your finances be steady and strong! Abundant Jupiter also brings a bonus at work! You can team up with cooperative people and be extremely successful together. Reach out to old friends, since you’ve likely been overly busy most of the year. Also, be gentle with your body. Take extra naps—practice slow, deep breathing. Do simple, restorative yoga postures. Praise your body with affirmations, even if you feel it’s “not perfect”!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20) – Saturn moves direct in your sign, helping you stay true to your goals and plans for health, self-care, and relationship boundaries. You can also have amazing work opportunities, but since Mercury is retrograde, ask lots of questions and expect clear answers. Make final decisions in early December if possible. With Venus, you’ll “fall in love” with your spiritual, yoga, or meditation practice! Enjoy the feelings of bliss and connection as your heart opens more deeply to the Universe.
Aries (March 21 – April 19) – This month’s Mercury retrograde helps you deepen your spiritual connection. Your mind is often moving at lightning speed, but you’ll be able to be more focused and steady. Ponder the goals you want to manifest. Visualize yourself with the qualities you desire to embody. So much is possible right now! Jupiter makes it easier to forgive family members and to heal childhood issues. And Venus opens your heart to give and receive love and passion!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Watch out for being too impulsive in relationships. Mercury is retrograde and can cloud your intuition. It’s also not a great time to make investments. Since Mars is egging you on internally, stand up to the urgings by telling yourself that if things are that valuable, you can “go for it” next month! Connect with old friends who can make you feel more grounded and steady. Try out vagus nerve exercises to soothe your nervous system, mood, and body.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – Saturn moves direct late this month and opens career doors! You can get a prestigious job offer or be recognized by superiors. Jupiter, the planet of abundance, asks you to meditate on gratitude. You’ll receive guidance about finances and how to balance saving with playful spending. You can start a hot new relationship! But since Mercury is retrograde, take it slow. It’s a challenge, since enthusiastic Mars is in your other ear saying, “Go faster!” Resist, throw caution to the wind until mid-December, ok?
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – As Jupiter turns retrograde in your sign, meditate on your actions and attitude about your body. Are you being kind to this wonderful vessel that does so much for you? Recommit to a healthy eating and exercise plan. Make sure you have some wiggle room for treats so it’s not a restrictive routine. Also, allow time for rest. Work with affirmations to nourish your self-esteem as well as your cells! You can be starting a new relationship or feeling a welling of love for a current partner.
Leo (July 23 – August 22) – Jupiter gives you many gifts of insightful meditations and dreams that illuminate your subconscious! You can solve problems that you’ve been struggling with for quite a while. If you’re creatively blocked, letting go of struggling helps the ideas flow. If you’re starting a new relationship, pace yourself, precisely because you won’t want to! But since Mercury is retrograde, it’s best to ask questions, read between the lines, and see where the chips fall in the middle of next month. In long-term bonds, you can have breakthroughs in communication and a sense of fun and playfulness restored to the partnership!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – It’s a great time to get together with friends throughout the holidays with fun-loving Jupiter by your side! You’ll find more joy than usual in your hobbies and activities. But since Mercury (communication) is retrograde and running along next to Mars (irritation), family interactions can be challenging for Thanksgiving. Try to pause when triggered. You might even be the grounding force for everyone. Your partner will be steady for you. If single, you can meet someone looking for a deep relationship.
Libra (September 23 – October 22) – Saturn moves directly this month and helps you get a handle on stress. You can have health breakthroughs about nagging problems you thought you’d just “have to live with”. Since Mercury is retrograde, it’s a great time to focus on praising your body in your meditation time. Use affirmations all day long, in fact! You’ll also see financial improvement, and maybe even a job offer you gave up on.
