If you\u2019ve been yearning for a change in the mood, this week shouldn\u2019t disappoint. With Mars retrograde officially under way, it\u2019s the perfect week to give yourself permission to do a little bit less. On a practical level, clearing some blank space in your calendar for the next 10 and a half weeks will do wonders. Sit down and plot out your bare minimum to rest and restore. On a deeper level, this retrograde will be inviting us to explore how we assert ourselves (or not) socially. No matter if you\u2019re a doormat or a steamroller, there\u2019ll be moments to reflect on how you cope with conflict. With Venus getting pushed and shoved around this week, chances are you\u2019ll get your first opportunity to explore just that before the week is out.<\/p>\n

ARIES AND ARIES RISING<\/h5>\n

Here\u2019s a physical challenge for you: how about this week, you try to do\u2026nothing. OK so that might not be possible \u2013 you gotta eat! \u2013 but can you take it down a notch? With five planets in the most shadowy parts of your chart, there\u2019s never been a better time to chill. Take it easy and keep your eyes peeled for a surprise development \u2013 especially financial \u2013 over the weekend.<\/p>\n

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING<\/h5>\n

Going with the flow is the only way through the push\/pull of this week. Despite your instinct to hold on for dear life (which is totally natural BTW), try to remember that the things that wrap up, step away or don\u2019t eventuate right now, were definitely not part of the bigger plan. Sometimes a clean break is better than a long, slow separation.<\/p>\n

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING<\/h5>\n

And so it begins! Mars retrograde in your home sign \u2013 especially significant for you who\u2019ll feel its affects acutely. Expect storylines over the next 10 weeks to test your relationship to productivity and challenge your comfort levels with asserting yourself. This week, that test could come courtesy of someone you manage. Stay curious, and don\u2019t expect to have all the answers immediately.<\/p>\n

CANCER AND CANCER RISING<\/h5>\n

As we ricochet through the eclipse portal (the period between the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse), the collective drama unfolding around you could feel exhausting. Even if you keep your head down, steering clear of the excitement will be tricky. Be selective with your energy and don\u2019t be surprised if friends (or friends with benefits) drop a bombshell over the weekend.<\/p>\n

LEO AND LEO RISING<\/h5>\n

The winds of change continue to challenge the balance between your personal life and your career this week. Despite the tension, there is the chance for an incredibly cathartic release. Letting go of some very deep seated (possibly dating as far back as childhood) hang-ups could be a silver lining. Trust the purge is necessary in order to heal.<\/p>\n

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING<\/h5>\n

With Mars retrograde rattling the cage at work, dealing with a situation \u2013 or a person \u2013 who you can\u2019t quite figure out has the potential to be a big energy suck. Save your breath and try to put them into the too-hard basket. You\u2019ll have plenty of time to troubleshoot a way out, but this is not the week to do it.<\/p>\n

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING<\/h5>\n

Finding a sense of tranquilly in movement\u2013 especially anything in water \u2013 will be the whimsical escape you need this week. With your ruling planet Venus joining the pressure cooker in Scorpio, planning ahead with tools to keep calm and carry on will be key. A therapeutic wardrobe clear out could also work wonders.<\/p>\n

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING<\/h5>\n

Practising non-attachment is tricky at the best of times, but this week it\u2019s worth digging deep to stay centred. Thankfully Mars retrograde should help take the edge off even if it\u2019s just a slight softening. With a surprise development popping up around your love life (or big news in your partner\u2019s life) rolling with the punches will be a necessity to maintaining that famous steely composure.<\/p>\n

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n

It could feel like you\u2019re holed up inside a secluded cabin while wild weather lashes at your windows this week. Yes, eclipse season can be intense, but with your ruling planet (Jupiter) back in familiar territory, you should experience a warm, welcoming safe-as-houses shift. Don\u2019t be surprised if you finally feel ready to let go of a grudge \u2013 or a fear \u2013 that\u2019s been draining your energy for way too long.<\/p>\n

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING<\/h5>\n

The action continues around your social circle this week, with Venus bringing big wildcard energy. Brace yourself for spontaneous surprise hook-ups, outbursts or confessions that could leave everyone (including you) speechless. While the delivery may lack tact, it will at the very least, clear the air.<\/p>\n

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n

The surprises at work \u2013 and home \u2013 continue this week. Be on the lookout when a colleague or contact shares something completely random. It may force you to close the door on a lead abruptly, but the consolidation will ultimately make room for new opportunities to unfold.<\/p>\n

PISCES AND PISCES RISING<\/h5>\n

Picture this: you\u2019re a bobbing around in a beautiful swimming pool, oblivious to the tensions swirling beyond your immediate vicinity. That could be you this week! You can\u2019t totally tune out but now Jupiter has shifted back into your neck of the woods embodying a sense of optimism, compassion and creativity should feel a million times easier. When things don\u2019t go to plan, ask yourself, \u2018What is the deeper lesson in all this?\u2019<\/p>\n
