The eclipses may be done (for now), but eclipse season doesn’t technically end until next week. That means there’s still time for a few surprises. The good news is, some of our best allies (Venus and Jupiter) are working together to help make harmonious changes. New relationships – or reconnecting with someone from the past – could help you initiate conversations or opportunities that feel truly supportive on a soul level. These aren’t necessarily going to fall in your lap, but if you get out there and make the first move, the outcome could be magical. Send important emails early in the week, before we start gearing up for the more-is-more vibes of Venus and Mercury moving into Sagittarius Wednesday and Thursday (AEST and GMT).

ARIES AND ARIES RISING

With two planets moving into a fire sign, expect a much-needed dose of get-up-and-go coming your way.  From Wednesday onwards, you’ll be feeling more social than you have in weeks. Sure you may still have no idea whether you’re coming or going, but at least getting off the couch won’t feel quite as impossible and going out.

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING

No sign has copped it quite has much as you this year, but this week the skies are offering an olive branch. There’s some healing to be done… if healing is what you want to do. Whether it’s forgiving someone or taking the plunge to work with a therapist, dealing with something you usually hide or ignore will help make more space for joy.

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING

If someone says  “just one” drink on you this week – especially from Wednesday onwards, know that it will likely turn in to many. With both Venus and Mercury emboldening the people closest to you get amongst it, getting an early night will be easier said than done. If you’re trying to take it easy, “sorry I totally missed this text” is an entirely reasonable response.

CANCER AND CANCER RISING

You’ll have plenty of opportunity to give your wellbeing a refresh over the next few weeks. The factory reset vibes kick off from Wednesday onwards when Venus, then Mercury shimmy your way and ask, “how can we make health more adventurous?” Mountain biking, team sport, dodge ball – it’s all good, just make sure whatever you do, you make it fun.

LEO AND LEO RISING

There’s some reprieve coming your way this week, and better still, it looks decidedly saucy. With both Venus and Mercury sashaying into your pleasure sector, the next month is looking red hot for hook-ups or renewed raunch if you’re coupled up. A long hot weekend away, or just a weekend in bed, could be bring the fireworks.

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING

If things have felt a little salty of late, this week brings offer the chance to alleviate tension – especially with family. While you may have been reminded over the past month – probably more than once – to get over it, the energetic push to actually move on is strong right now. It’s the perfect refresh to gear up for Sagittarius season and a fitting end to eclipse intensity.

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING

There’s a little bit of sparkle just around the corner as your ruling planet, Venus, changes signs mid-week. It’s been a time, but connecting to things that just make you feel good – aesthetically and physically – should be that little be easier. ‘Tis the season to finding joy in reading, streaming and listening. Get to work, that Netflix watchlist isn’t going to watch itself.

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING

If you’ve been craving a little less time being front and centre, take comfort in the knowledge that’s about to change. This eclipse season has been a hard lesson in relationships, power and control leaving even the steeliest Scorps feeling frayed. This week is a nice change, so enjoy the chill, but mind the urge to use shopping as a therapeutic tool.

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING

Feeling flat? Rest assured there’s a flickering spark that should grow to a healthy ember as the week progresses. Finding your groove – literally and metaphorically – will be a whole lot easier once Venus and Mercury light up your chart from Wednesday onwards. But before you get there, consider extending – or accepting – an apology, especially to/from family. That grudge is just not worth carrying.

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING

If it feels right, now is the time to move past any friend drama that kicked off during eclipse season. Putting it all behind you will feel like a weight has been lifted. Whether it’s a quiet decision to let it go, or a full-fledged heart-to-heart, commit to solitude afterwards. Block out your calendar, cancel plans, do whatever you need to do to make sure nothing gets in the way of your JOMO.

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING

After a frenetic couple of weeks, you’re (finally) getting a greenlight to make space for fun. Plan a girls weekend, try a new restaurant or schedule a catch up with someone exhilarating to be around. Emboldened with a new sense of clarity, allow the illuminations of the past few weeks guide you in relationships and decision making, especially Monday through to Wednesday.

PISCES AND PISCES RISING

After a month of pondering big picture questions – or conundrums – this week draws you out of the depths and back into the light. A sense of optimism – or at the least, perspective should help shift the heaviness that’s dominated recent weeks. Reconnecting with friends – especially people you know through work – will be especially fun.
