Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Pause before making any major decisions. This transit may stir up vivid dreams and an overactive mind, making it hard to separate intuition from imagination. Stay grounded, and don’t get swept away by fleeting thoughts, what seems like a revelation now may not hold up later.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Don’t jump to conclusions. There may be some confusion in your social circle, leaving you questioning certain friendships. You might overhear rumours or feel out of the loop, but remember things aren’t always what they seem. Take your time before assuming the worst.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Your career path might feel uncertain right now. With your ruling planet Mercury at odds with Jupiter in your sign, you may second-guess your professional direction or wonder if your hard work is being recognized. Trust that you’re on the right track, but hold off on any sudden career changes for now.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Travel plans may not go as expected. Double-check itineraries and be prepared for last-minute changes. This transit could also bring misleading information, so be discerning about new opportunities. Stay curious, but don’t believe everything you hear.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Try not to overthink. This cosmic tension stirs deep emotions around finances and personal relationships. Whether you’re debating an investment or sensing a shift in a close connection, don’t let fear cloud your judgment. Take a step back and reassess with a clear mind.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Misunderstandings are likely, so make sure your intentions are crystal clear. Mercury, your ruling planet, is clashing with Jupiter, making communication a little tricky. You might feel like people are misinterpreting your words, so be patient and clarify when needed.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Struggling to find work-life balance, Libra? This transit might leave you feeling overwhelmed with an endless to-do list. Be mindful of overcommitting, and prioritize tasks so you don’t get lost in distractions. Stay focused, but don’t be too hard on yourself.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Your creativity is on overdrive, Scorpio—but be careful not to overextend yourself. While fresh ideas and romantic sparks may be flowing, not every idea is practical. Take a step back and refine your vision before diving all in.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Things may feel unclear in your personal life. Whether it’s a miscommunication with family or a disconnect in your relationships, don’t rush to conclusions. Give yourself space to process emotions before reacting.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
You can’t control how others respond, but you can stay grounded. Miscommunications in your workplace or personal life may escalate quickly. Keep your cool and choose your words wisely to avoid unnecessary drama.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Be mindful of money matters. You might feel tempted to make a big purchase or investment, but this isn’t the best time for impulsive financial decisions. Wait until the dust settles before making commitments you may regret later.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Take things slow. This square could leave you feeling uncertain about yourself, your choices, or how others perceive you. Instead of overanalyzing, focus on self-reflection and clarity—now is a time to think, not act.
