The drama continues this week as your personal Mars retrograde story reaches a spicy conclusion. Guards will be dropped and shots fired mid-week when Neptune, the Sun, Mercury and the Moon gang up on Mars. The old adage ‘loose lips sink ships’ comes to mind, as the planets (metaphorically) loosen their ties and kick off their heels. What makes this especially interesting is the fact that the ‘things that shouldn’t be said’ have likely been brewing for 6+ months! It’s a lot, so rather than get in the fray, hold fire pressing go and keep your head down if you want to stay out of the drama.

ARIES AND ARIES RISING

Your intuition is on fire right now as the Sun and Mercury hook up with Neptune. Pay attention to dreams, synchronicities and seemingly serendipitous meetings; there is no such thing as a coincidence this week. Just remember not everyone finds a play-by-play of your dreams quite as scintillating as you…

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING

Beautiful bulls have cause to rejoice this week because life is about to get a whole lot more delicious. With Venus slinking into your sign (17 March AEST, 16 March GMT), you’ll be poised and ready to slip into something more comfortable. Celebrate with a mani/pedi, a bottle of Veuve or both. Bonus points if you choose to celebrate with your chosen family who’ll be feeling extra parched mid-week.

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING

There’s a dramatic mood to the week as a really major lesson in how you assert yourself reaches a climax. Pay attention to conflict – and resolution – in the middle of the week. Even if the challenges seem unrelated, they’re there to help unpack what you’re meant to have been mastering the past six months.

CANCER AND CANCER RISING

Don’t be surprised to find yourself swimming deep in a subconscious soup this week as vivid dreams and subliminal messages cast a surreal glow over proceedings. The middle of the week looks especially spacey, and may even leave you feeling a little bit uneasy. Trust the edginess is temporary, and look forward to a palpable shift next week.

LEO AND LEO RISING

The sky is primed to help you scratch beyond the surface this week and dive deep into catharsis. It’s not easy work, and it won’t be without some tenderness, but if you’re willing to go there, the energy is offering you a shortcut to get to the shadowiest parts of your subconscious. Regardless of whether you take the plunge, if you’re feeling blue, phone a friend.

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING

A download about relationships will drops in out of nowhere, but the upshot of your newfound clarity has the potential to ruffle feathers. As Neptune, the Sun and Mercury dance together, seeing things as they could (or should) will be will be easier than ever before. But just because you’ve dreamt it doesn’t mean it’s actually real, at least not yet.

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING

Feeling wistful? As the planets converge to bring a wave of surrender to your everyday routine, getting lost in daydreams is a very real risk this week. It’s ideal for healing, meditating and relaxing; but not so great for being on time, remembering appointments or smashing your to-do list. Once Venus changes signs (17 March AEST, 16 March GMT), expect to feel a little more grounded. But otherwise ask yourself if it can wait until next week.

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING

Whatever you’ve been secretly fantasising about channelling, now is the time. Pick up the computer/paintbrush/ballet shoes and start exactly where you are. The planets are setting a magical mood to help you bring something truly ethereal up and out into the world. Navel-gazing encouraged! Don’t miss your moment.

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING

A vision of the future or hazy recollection from the past could inspire you to get uncharacteristically sentimental this week. As tempting as it is to blurt everything that pops into your head out, think twice. Despite your best intentions, oversharing could trigger all the feels from your nearest and dearest. It’s not a reason not to say something, but be prepared to meet them with compassion if you need to.

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING

The zingers seem to tumble from your lips this week as Neptune has you feeling you more uninhabited than Kris Jenner on a private jet. While there’s no denying your creativity will be on lock, be prepared for the possibility that not everyone is in the mood for your dry AF comedy routine – especially people you manage. Boss ladies take note: this is not the week to overshare!

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING

Money. What’s it good for? And why save when you could make it rain? With Neptune, the Sun and Mercury getting cosy in your cash sphere, checking out from your financial reality is a real risk this week. Whether you’re splurging on bottle service or blowing out at 24s.com the relentless pursuit of pleasure never felt so firmly rooted in retail therapy. Proceed with caution.

PISCES AND PISCES RISING

Clear the decks where you can and give yourself permission to float away. Your only job this week is to get to find water, and let yourself float. Whether it’s an ocean swim, pool laps or a hydrotherapy session, with a fleet of planets dropping anchor in your home sign, now is the time to get wet. It’s the perfect escape from drama on the home/family home.
