We\u2019re off to the races this week with our first eclipse AND Taurus season (20 March AEST and GMT) coming in hot. It\u2019s a significant change that should feel palpably different \u2013 less reactive, but perhaps a little more unpredictable. For Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn people, it\u2019s especially significant as it marks the start of an 18-month period of major change. The good news? You don\u2019t need to do anything; eclipses have a way of clearing out what\u2019s passed its expiry date. All you need to do is be open to new beginnings.<\/p>\n

Hot tip: I always recommend you read your rising sign for the most resonant advice. If you don\u2019t know it, you can work it out by casting your chart here. Want to learn more?

ARIES AND ARIES RISING<\/h5>\n

It\u2019s all about the long game this week as the seed of a fresh new storyline begins to take root. Keep your eyes peeled for clues as the week unfolds and sudden to where you\u2019ll be called to redefine your sense of self and stand your ground. Don\u2019t stress if it doesn\u2019t go to plan \u2013 you\u2019ll have plenty of practice over the next year or two.<\/p>\n

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING<\/h5>\n

Your home-season kicks off with a bang on Thursday as the solar eclipse simultaneously ushers in a two-week period of big shifts. The key is to (try) to stay unattached to the outcome, as hard as it may be. Stay open to unexpected intel\/advice\/or inspo \u2013 especially Friday when a new perspective could change the way you think about an ongoing bugbear.<\/p>\n

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING<\/h5>\n

Brace yourself for an action-packed week when an eclipse and Mercury retrograde signal a change of heart. While the solar eclipse on Thursday begins a new storyline \u2013 particularly around your friends and social network, the next day Mercury\u2019s station could reveal a surprising truth about something \u2013 or someone \u2013 you usually try to avoid. Remember, what you resist, persists.<\/p>\n

CANCER AND CANCER RISING<\/h5>\n

Make the most of the quiet start to the week as the balsamic moon invites you to slow down and switch off from the world. You\u2019ll be grateful you preserved energy ahead of Thursday\u2019s solar eclipse which cues fireworks around your work. Meanwhile Mercury retrograde starts with a bang when new information – courtesy of a friend – makes you second-guess your judgement.<\/p>\n

LEO AND LEO RISING<\/h5>\n

In the immortal words of En Vogue, \u201cFree your mind, and the rest will follow\u201d. That\u2019s the name of the game this week as Mercury retrograde (Friday AEST and GMT) challenges you to come at things from an entirely new perspective. Turns out that project or goal that\u2019s been hasn\u2019t been taking off at work is because you haven\u2019t quite nailed it just yet. Loosen up and you could find a fix in the most unlikely of places.<\/p>\n

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING<\/h5>\n

No one savours planning a big trip like you, but if you\u2019ve locked in travel details the past couple of weeks, now is the time to reconfirm \u2013 just in case. With Mercury and Uranus promising unexpected developments in your travel sphere this week, the potential for delays, crossed wires and cancellations is major. Plan B (and maybe even Plan C) never looked so good.<\/p>\n

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING<\/h5>\n

Things are about to get seriously interesting as eclipse season marks a new brave new era in your closest relationships. Exhilarating partnerships, collaborations and romance are all on the cards as the planets signal a bright beginning for your most important bonds. It won\u2019t happen overnight, but it will happen.<\/p>\n

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING<\/h5>\n

An unexpected plot twist could shift the focus in your closest relationships this week as Mercury retrograde shifts the mood to \u201cwe\u2019re definitely not<\/em> done talking about this\u201d. The surprise kicks off three weeks where you\u2019ll get to retrace conversations you thought were put to bed. Reserve judgement and wait to see how things play out. The only certainty? It\u2019s not what you think\u2026<\/p>\n

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n

Ready for a warm change? Like an unseasonably warm change, the eclipse on Thursday promises a spicy new era of hook-ups and spontaneous trysts. If you\u2019re in a relationship the new mood could help reignite a spark previously stifled by Real Life. Meanwhile Mercury retrograde (Friday onwards) has the potential to cause chaos in your calendar. Confirm, reconfirm then reconfirm again.<\/p>\n

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING<\/h5>\n

Do you like where you live? Are you feeling supported on a creative level? It\u2019s all up for discussion this week as the eclipse and Mercury retrograde bring a special blend of \u201cfresh start\u201d to proceedings. This is less about taking action and more about rolling with the changes as they present themselves \u2013 and they will.<\/p>\n

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n

Late this week, unsolicited advice from family or flatmates could have you reconsidering just about everything<\/em> over the coming weeks. It\u2019s less about trying to turn things upside down on a whim and more about being ok to let go of things (or people) as they start to pull away. The end of one chapter always marks the beginning of another.<\/p>\n

PISCES AND PISCES RISING<\/h5>\n

Swimming in your subconscious will serve you well early in the week as the balsamic moon and Neptune have you feeling extra dreamy. As things pick up, the eclipse on Thursday kicks off a new story around cash and salary. Pay attention to any sudden changes and don\u2019t hold on too tight. Mercury retrograde invites you to revisit decisions made over the past couple of weeks. Stay open to ambiguity, now is a time for thinking not doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29212,"featured_media":34740,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35],"yoast_head":"\nHoroscopes April 17: How To Make The Most Of The
