While the last few weeks have seen us confronted with bombshells and big decisions, this week is all about progress over perfection. The energy asks us to get real and accept something that’s less than perfect. The challenge? If we stopped ruminating on everything that isn’t exactly as we’d like it, imagine what we might be able to achieve.
The planets are delivering both vision and resolve to some longer-term worries that may not have always felt easy to manage. As Scorpio season brings all the honesty to the surface, a magic blend of optimism, productivity, and realism is on tap to make things just…happen.
For those of us in the final throes of our Saturn return (born May – June 1993; – January 1994 – April 1996; March – Sept 1964; Dec 1964 – March 1967), it feels like a breakthrough in what has been a long, hard slog over the past couple of years (on and off since March 2023).
Later in the week, as Mercury changes signs and the moon makes its monthly date with Pluto, some blunt words could act as a catalyst for the big shift. They might not be directly related to the longer-term issue, but they’ll set the mood and help unclog something that’s been hard to move past. Friday looks a little spicy, too, before there’s a break in the weather on Sunday and any careless words are easily smoothed over.
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
There’s a momentum this week that will feel fantastic for rams. With the planets aligning to bring a sense of resolve to a situation you’d much rather sweep under the rug, that clarification will be the plot twist you didn’t know you needed.
Once Mercury moves into Sagittarius (Thursday), the dynamic could get a little more blunt in general. Even the most placid folks will be speaking their mind, but you’re not mad at it. What’s a little tactlessness between friends?
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
Staying fluid and malleable isn’t always easy for bulls, but you’ll get a great nudge to do exactly that this week. As the planets align to bring a sense of resolve and forward perspective, the clarity will come as a relief—even if things haven’t eventuated exactly the way you’d like them to.
With the focus on your one-on-one interactions continuing all week, things could get a little heated around Friday. Thankfully, the good vibes on Sunday will make you feel like maybe things will work out after all.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
An issue—or person—that’s felt like a thorn in your side for literally years reaches a turning point this week. It/they’re not necessarily disappearing into thin air, but you should find some way to work more productively with the hand you’ve been dealt. The outcome is a kind of emotionally mature resolve to just get on with things and maybe even find a few silver linings.
Side note: mind your Ps and Qs later in the week when words could land a little more abruptly than you intend, especially with partners, lovers and close friends.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
There’s so much to like about this week, especially for crabs. As a longstanding roadblock becomes a little less obstructive, you’re getting a strong nudge to be resourceful and work with what you’ve got in order to find a way through. As Jupiter greases the wheels, now is the time to take a calculated risk.
The back part of the week is a bit less juicy, but there’s still some softness to enjoy on Sunday. If you need to ask a favour after Wednesday, wait until Sunday to maximise your chances of hearing a “yes! I’d love to help!”
LEO AND LEO RISING
Emotions run high this week as Scorpio season brings plenty of feels. It’s not always a super comfortable space for proud and composed lion people, but despite the sensitivity, there is some great energy for making things happen. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to get things off the ground, now is as good a time as any.
It’s not perfect, but when is it ever really? Instead of worrying about practicalities, get clear about what you want to achieve and be optimistic that, with a bit of creativity, you could get things moving.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
A challenging relationship dynamic that may have felt like it was at an impasse holds the potential for progress this week. There will be a lot of strategy and precision required, and you may need to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but if you can set realistic goals, you could be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
Try not to take someone tactless to heart later in the week. It may not be your style, but sometimes there’s merit in not beating around the bush.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
A sore point, either at work or around your health and wellbeing, will feel a whole lot more manageable this week. With the planets joining forces to give you a little nudge along, there’s a sense of starting from where you are and working with what you’ve got. Waiting for things to be exactly the right balance won’t get you any closer to those longer-term goals.
Instead, focus on coming together—despite your differences—and playing to everyone’s strengths. You could be quite surprised by just how much you manage to achieve.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
You’re in flow this week as the sky brings you a big, juicy burst of serendipity. An issue or argument that’s been hanging around for literally years may suddenly feel like, maybe, it’s not actually the end of the world. Draw on that famous Scorpio precision to quit wallowing and just get on with things.
Jupiter is also activated, giving you a more optimistic and expansive outlook on life. Soak up the good-enough vibes while they’re on offer and enjoy the sense that things are progressing.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
Ready to make your move? Now is as good a time as ever to start where you are and just do it. As the planets work together to give your creativity and focus a nudge along, you won’t have to paddle too hard to catch the wave of good fortune.
All the things that have been holding you back are still there, but this week they feel a lot less insurmountable. So, lace up your boots and get a move on while the going’s good.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
There’s a lot of feelings floating around this week that could be overwhelming for your earthy, practical senses. The good news is it’s not all navel-gazing and kumbaya; beyond the deep conversations and potential tears, there is a steely resolve to make something happen.
It may not be your usual approach, but if you’re willing to trust the process, the results may exceed your expectations.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
Scorpio season continues to deliver action and excitement around your professional sphere. This week, you have the chance to make stuff happen—as long as you’re willing to take the risk and believe that, yes, this could actually work out.
The result could alleviate an undercurrent of worry or heaviness in your financial sphere. It’s not the perfect fix, but it’s something, and sometimes that’s better than doing nothing at all.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
There are weeks when things just fall into place and weeks when they don’t; thankfully, this week’s astrology falls into the former category, especially for Pisceans. Alignment and harmony are on offer if you’re prepared to put yourself out there. The key is believing things really could be resolved, and accepting the long-term challenges as necessary evils rather than something to ruminate on or try to eradicate at all costs.
Invite your inner fears out into the light and ask what hidden wisdom they may be prompting you to uncover.
