If the week had a signature scent, it would be Serendipity; it’s the kind of weather where a random introduction or coincidental catch-up could lead to something more. The aftershocks of last weekend’s boisterous full moon reverberate through the week, but with Venus gliding through Pisces, spontaneity, affection and compassion will soften the mood.

All the good vibes make way for more surprises later in the week, when Pluto and Mercury gear up for tough confessions and power moves. It’s all a little dramatic and unexpected outbursts or strong words will pull focus. It’s nothing if not intriguing.

ARIES AND ARIES RISING

If you’ve been struggling to make it to the gym, the start of the week looks ideal for getting back into the swing, and actually enjoying it. With the moon on your side, make the most of the momentum and get sweaty with someone you care about. Come the weekend, a home truth brings a laser-sharp focus to what truly matters.

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING

Grab someone you love and treat yourself to something spontaneous, luxurious and a little bit healing. A last-minute spa day, couples massage or heels class is the change of scenery you didn’t know you needed. Just make it fun, wholesome and better with a plus one.

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING

There’s a certain flow to help you nurture an important relationship early this week. Productivity meets idealism Monday through Wednesday, helping pitches land, dreams materialise and support appear right where you need it. Make the most of the vibes by assuming nothing; help could come from where you least expect it.

CANCER AND CANCER RISING

With empathy dialled up this week there’s a gentle optimism that should have you feeling extra lyrical. Make the most of the juicy weather and let yourself get swept away in a TV series or book that makes you feel more romantic (than usual). Later in the week, don’t be surprised if a little (or not-so-little) truth bomb takes your breath away.

LEO AND LEO RISING

Investing in yourself could be a key focus this week as the moon and Venus ask you to build a bridge between your dreams and reality. Look for unexpected opportunities – especially at work – to strengthen a relationship that could pay dividends down the track.

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING

This week is all about balance as the moon beckons you to walk the line between passion and perfectionism, especially in your closest relationships. Prepare to get really honest next weekend as a difficult but necessary chat about intimacy brings things to an explosive but necessary climax.

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING

Invest in yourself early in the week with workouts, therapy – or both – to help refill your cup and make you feel the (self) love. On Thursday, doors open and calendars align as the moon whispers ‘go for it,’ with help from Jupiter. Don’t be shocked if a big truth disrupts the tranquillity over the weekend .

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING

This week has some of your favourite ingredients; friskiness, surprise and brutal honesty. Follow the breadcrumbs early in the week and you could find yourself getting up to all sorts of mischief with friends or lovers (or both). Then next weekend, your ruling planet brings the truth serum. If you’re the one dealing it, be prepared for the butterfly effect.

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING

There’s something in the water this week for you in particular, as fortuitous synchronicities imbue a feeling of flow, optimism and general sparkle. Make the most of the green lights by pitching your idea, applying for the job or asking for the favour. Don’t panic if you hit a handbrake over the weekend when spending could get a reality check.

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING

There’s an intense feeling brewing this week as your mind is drawn towards a Big Serious Truth that needs telling. Despite the somewhat tranquil conditions Monday through Friday, there’s no avoiding what needs to be said once the weekend rolls around. Now is the time to get it off your chest.

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING

The online shopping vortex is real this week as Venus and the moon have your trigger finger firmly poised over “add to cart”. It’s a pleasing escape, but numbing out with shopping could be masking a larger anxiety. Remember, it will feel 1000 times more manageable if you share what’s on your mind.

PISCES AND PISCES RISING

If you’re in a relationship, remembering why you fell in love could be a juicy escape this week. Write a love letter, swing by the bar where you had your first date or just dial up the Solange. Finding ways to integrate that attraction in your everyday could be incredibly healing. If you’re single, saying “yes” to that left-of-centre DM could lead to a pleasant surprise.
