After weeks of craziness and uncertainty, finally there’s a whiff of clarity this week. With Mercury lurching forward, decisions, dilemmas and delays should start to resolve. Sure, progress might be slow (Saturn is in retrograde after all), but at least things are moving in the right direction.
As the week closes out, the weekend brings a delicious invitation to do something fun, indulgent and totally last-minute. It’s the perfect weather for spur-of-the-moment shopping sprees, long lunches that stretch into dinner and surprise hook-ups. Eat, drink and be merry – there’s never been a better excuse to be spontaneous.

ARIES AND ARIES RISING
Cash has likely been on your mind a lot this past month. The good news is as of this week, things look are looking up. Getting to the bottom of an ongoing quandary – or at least moving in the right direction – seems likely. If you’re torn about a big purchase (and the urge to lash out will be major over the weekend), ask yourself, “Will buying this thing help me feel more or less stressed?” If the cost is likely to give you buyer’s remorse, stick to window shopping.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
If you’re feeling flat, make an effort to listen to your body and take it slow this week. With Mercury crawling forward you’ll have a chance to gently digest the changes that have been unfolding in your life lately. How have the past few weeks shifted your priorities? Reflect on the simple things that truly makes you feel good and let them be your North star when you’re faced with tricky decisions.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
As much as your calendar may not agree, a little solitude could be just the thing you need this week. Despite a steady flow of invites, time away from friends/family/flatmates could pay dividends. Plan a self-care date for yourself next weekend. Research something totally new – the more random the better – and make your downtime a deliciously indulgent experience (floatation tank, anyone?).
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
The past few weeks have been *a time* with work ramping up and friends (potentially) messing up. If you’ve been dealing with a fallout or you’ve just been too damn busy to see anyone, this weekend is the perfect moment to set things right. Plan a last-minute weekend away, a group dinner or a much-needed olive branch. A little just-because fun will go a long way to mend fences.
LEO AND LEO RISING
What on earth is going on at work? If your boss – or job in general – has been doing your head in, expect a little more clarity this week. It won’t be the whole story, but it’s at least a start. Meanwhile a leftfield introduction could put the spring back in your step. When opportunity comes knocking, make sure you answer the door.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
After weeks of setbacks, the skies are looking smoother for Virgo travel plans. If you’ve been holding off booking your next big trip, you might just find yourself read to press go this weekend. But the trip you were dreaming of in April is not necessarily the holiday you’re holding out for now. Don’t be surprised if you end up with an itinerary to somewhere completely random.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
While Mars keeps serving the spicy vibes in your relationship, this weekend ushers in a delicious window to do somethingout of the blue with someone you love. Plan an outing that’s a little left of centre, get out of town or just stay home and spend the weekend exploring unchartered erotic territory. Whatever you do, make sure ‘do not disturb mode’ is on. Let someone else enjoy your undivided attention.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
The tectonic shifts unfolding in your relationship continue this week. Where May was all about beginnings and endings, June is a time to work out the logistics of what’s next. There’s a lot to figure out, but prioritising pleasure – especially next weekend – is key to staying sane. Temper all the big decisions with plenty of play, especially with your main squeeze.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
If May taught you nothing else, it was a lesson in valuing your health. If there were flaws in your approach to your wellbeing– or shortcomings in your schedule – you’ve now got a pretty good idea of what needs to change. Now comes the tricky part: putting improvements into action. Don’t panic, just let your body guide you and take it one step at a time.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
If you only do one thing, make a plan to treat yourself next weekend. No one does #goals like you, so make prioritising pleasure yours and give yourself permission to lighten up. Ping that hook-up you haven’t seen in a while, take yourself shopping or open a bottle of bubbles you’ve been saving for a special occasion – the more spontaneous the better.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
That big question mark over where you’re living – or possibly what’s going on with someone in your fam – should start to clear this week. With Mercury moving direct, there’s some slow but welcome developments that help clarify your position. It won’t resolve instantly, but trust that things are finally heading in the right direction.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
Car problems, computer dramas, tech setbacks – if you’ve been experiencing annoying hiccups, get ready for a change. The muddle that dominated the past few weeks is finally starting to calm down. With Mercury doing one final sweep through Taurus, keeping a calm, steady approach is essential.Be methodical and work through unresolved issues, one at a time. Slow and steady wins the race.
