Be sure to check your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs for maximum accuracy!
Aries: Venus has entered Virgo in your 6th house of routine and productivity! Its influence here over the next three and a half weeks will soften any anxiety you’re feeling about maintaining structure in your daily life. If you have trouble with routine, try incorporating aesthetic beauty into your daily tasks (like buying yourself some glitter pens to cross off your to-do list) or create a reward system for completing chores! Bribing yourself with cute little trinkets is a surprisingly effective method during this transit.
Taurus: Your ruling planet, Venus, has entered your 5th house of pleasure, romance, and creativity! The next three and a half weeks holds plenty of romantic potential- but don’t take new developments in your love life too seriously yet! Mercury retrograde will affect this area of your life until the 15th when it re-enters Leo. Until then, avoid making any hasty commitments. You’re likely to hear from an old flame during this time, especially on Wednesday when Mercury conjoins Venus. Have fun and don’t let your guard down too easily!
Gemini: This week’s transits continue to highlight your 4th house of home and family, as Venus joins Mercury in Virgo. There is some friction in this area of your life- Mercury retrograde throws a curveball just as you’re getting settled, but don’t make the mistake of reacting too quickly! Potential for miscommunication with housemates, family, or your landlord is heightened on Wednesday. This issue may not be as urgent as it seems in the moment, but reacting impulsively could make things more complicated.
Cancer: Mercury retrograde is notorious for creating miscommunication, technical errors, and delays. For you, this transit takes place in your 3rd house of communication, meaning that these issues aren’t just isolated to one single area of your life. Communication in general will be a bit strained over the next few weeks, but Venus will soften the tension! When Mercury conjoins Venus on Wednesday, you may hear from an old friend, estranged sibling, or even an ex. You’ll have an opportunity to make amends, but choose your words carefully.
Leo: For the next few weeks, Venus will occupy your 2nd house and bless your finances! Mercury retrograde passes through this area of your chart simultaneously, so these blessings may be slightly delayed, but don’t fear! They are on their way. Checks may take a little longer to clear, but they may also be larger than expected. Cash will be flowing quickly, both in and out of your account- so keep a close eye on it! Stacking your savings will pay off at the conclusion of this retrograde cycle.
Virgo: If you’ve been feeling particularly self critical lately, Venus’ transit through your first house of self will offer the compassionate energy you’ve been missing. This retrograde cycle will call for plenty of self reflection. If you are carrying guilt or shame from the past, now is the perfect time to begin releasing that burden. Mercury’s conjunction to Venus in your first house brings an opportunity to forgive past versions of yourself for lessons unlearned, and to love yourself more deeply than ever before.
Libra: You’ve got a lot to unpack this week! The 12th house governs all things unknown and unseen, and a retrograde cycle in this area of your chart brings repressed emotions, subconscious motives, and intuitive knowledge to the surface. Expect vivid dreams, exposed secrets, and delayed confessions. The 12th house also includes hidden enemies- keep an eye out for shady behavior when Mercury conjoins Venus in Wednesday. Trust your intuition, but don’t act on it just yet. Sit back and observe while the events of this retrograde unfold.
Scorpio: Venus has joined Mercury in your 11th house of friendship and community, and on Wednesday they will form an exact conjunction! This is a great opportunity for connecting with your community, making new friends, and reconnecting with old friends as well. However, since Mercury is retrograde, this could mean that old drama is resurfacing within your friend group as well. New information may be revealed concerning past conflict. Whether this information is related to your closest friends or loose acquaintances, the tea is piping hot this week!
Sagittarius: Venus enters Virgo and your 10th house of career and public image this week, and aligns with Mercury in a tight orb conjunction on Wednesday. Venus’ influence will bring some relief to any disruptions you’ve been experiencing in your career since Mercury retrograde began, and will help you grow your income as well! New opportunities will reveal themselves to you- it will be tempting to go all in, but avoid committing to new projects too early if possible. Play hard to get!
Capricorn: Issues related to travel or long distance relationships may arise this week, but when Mercury conjoins Venus on Wednesday, there could be an unexpected solution! Flights are likely to be delayed or rescheduled, but you may be offered a luxurious upgrade or other compensation that ultimately outweighs the initial inconvenience. Be extra mindful to take health precautions this week, especially if you are traveling or attending a funeral- the Sun in your 8th house sextiles Jupiter in your 6th house on Wednesday, increasing your chances of exposure to illness.
Aquarius: You may be feeling confused about your relationships this week. Venus conjoins Mercury RX in your 8th house, guiding you to take a closer look at your most intimate connections and reflect on the strength and integrity of your commitment and emotional bond. Simultaneously, the Sun in your 7th house of partnership sextiles Jupiter in your 5th house of romance. Something is reigniting your desire, but not in the way you expected. You may need to walk away from one connection to pursue another.
Pisces: Mercury’s conjunction to Venus in your 7th house of partnership this Wednesday will bring an opportunity to relieve tension and clarify any miscommunication in your relationships. If you’ve been feeling withdrawn from your partner or vice versa, it may finally be addressed honestly this week. Under Venus’ influence this conversation is likely to be productive, compassionate, and will leave both parties feeling relieved. Alternatively, be careful about reaching out to exes this week- Venus may have you seeing them through rose colored glasses!
