Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces
The energy this week hums with both momentum and uncertainty—kind of like when you’ve finally hit your stride, only to realize you’re sprinting toward a fog bank. The Sun in Pisces continues to weave its dreamy, intuitive spell, but with Mercury entering its retrograde shadow on February 28, communication and plans start feeling a little off.
Mercury is busy this week—squaring Jupiter on February 25, conjunct Saturn on February 27, and then making a quick sextile to Uranus the same day. This means big ideas are flying around, but not all of them are practical. Conversations may feel deep and serious one minute and wildly inspired the next. And with Mercury conjunct Neptune on March 2, reality becomes even more fluid—perfect for creativity, but terrible for making firm decisions.
Meanwhile, Venus stations retrograde in Aries, a major shift in the way we approach love, beauty, and relationships. This is a turning point where we start reevaluating who and what we truly desire. Mars, still out of bounds in Cancer, keeps emotions running high, and the Sun’s square to Jupiter on March 2-3 may push some of us to overdo it—spending too much, saying too much, promising more than we can actually deliver.
The Takeaway for the Week:
This week is filled with excitement, but it is also laced with uncertainty. With Venus stationing retrograde and Mercury entering its retrograde shadow, this is a time to review and reassess rather than charge forward. Mercury’s aspects bring intense conversations and sudden shifts, but not all information is clear yet. Venus retrograde in Aries stirs up questions about love, money, and self-worth, while Mars out of bounds in Cancer amplifies emotional responses. The Sun squaring Jupiter adds an urge to take risks, but impulsive decisions may require reevaluation later. It is a week to stay observant, take note of what is shifting, and resist the urge to rush into anything definitive. Let things unfold and trust that clarity will come in time.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Weekly Horoscope: for Aries & Aries Rising
House Impacted:
12th house (subconscious, retreat, endings)
Theme for the Week:
Pause before the leap
This week brings a deep, internal shift as the Sun and Mercury move through your twelfth house, urging you to slow down, reflect, and process what’s been bubbling beneath the surface. With Mercury entering its retrograde shadow, clarity may feel elusive, but that’s part of the lesson—you are being asked to pause before making any big decisions. This is a time for deep introspection rather than external action, even if your natural inclination is to push forward.
Venus stationing retrograde in your sign is a significant moment of self-reassessment. You may find yourself rethinking how you present yourself to the world, what you truly desire in relationships, or even your personal style. Old lovers or past relationship patterns may resurface, offering you the opportunity to see them from a new perspective. If you feel a sudden urge to reinvent yourself, go slow—your identity is shifting, but you need more time to fully understand the changes.
Mars, still out of bounds in Cancer, is stirring up intense emotions related to home and family. You may feel an urge to break free from old patterns or address an unresolved issue, but with Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus bringing unexpected revelations, it’s important not to rush into conclusions. The Sun squaring Jupiter at the end of the week may make everything feel urgent, but impulsivity now could lead to second-guessing later.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Taurus & Taurus Rising
House Impacted:
11th house (friendships, networks, dreams)
Theme for the Week:
Rethinking your people
This week turns your attention to your friendships, community, and long-term aspirations. With the Sun and Mercury in Pisces, you may feel inspired to connect with like-minded people, but as Mercury enters its retrograde shadow, some relationships could feel more confusing than inspiring. You might be questioning whether certain friendships still align with who you are becoming. Maybe a friend from the past reappears, or an ongoing group project suddenly becomes more complicated.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries urges you to look beneath the surface. If a past friendship ended abruptly, you may now have the chance to reflect on what really happened. If certain social circles no longer feel fulfilling, you may be reevaluating where you invest your time and energy. Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus throughout the week bring conversations that shift your perspective, but they may also highlight areas where you’ve outgrown old patterns. The Sun squaring Jupiter at the end of the week may make you want to jump into new collaborations or friendships impulsively, but take a step back before fully committing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Gemini & Gemini Rising
House Impacted:
10th house (career, reputation, leadership)
Theme for the Week:
Ambition vs. overcommitment
This week, your career and public image take center stage. The Sun and Mercury in Pisces highlight your professional aspirations, but Mercury entering its retrograde shadow means clarity is in short supply. You may receive recognition for your work, but a hidden detail could surface later that changes everything. A job offer, promotion, or new project may sound exciting at first, but it is crucial to assess whether it aligns with your long-term goals.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries adds another layer to this story. This transit asks you to reevaluate the social dynamics in your professional life. If a past work relationship was left unresolved, it may resurface now. Maybe a former boss or colleague reaches out with an unexpected opportunity, or you find yourself questioning whether you truly enjoy the career path you’re on. Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus may bring sudden bursts of inspiration, but these ideas need refining before they become reality. The Sun squaring Jupiter at the end of the week makes it easy to overestimate your bandwidth—avoid saying yes to everything, or you may find yourself spread too thin.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Cancer & Cancer Rising
House Impacted:
9th house (travel, education, perspective)
Theme for the Week:
Expanding, but carefully
Your mind is craving expansion, but the details may be unclear. The Sun and Mercury in Pisces awaken your desire to explore new philosophies, travel, or take on a learning experience, but with Mercury entering its retrograde shadow, plans may not unfold the way you expect. Maybe you are eager to book a trip, sign up for a course, or dive into a new area of study, but last-minute complications could arise. Be open to possibilities, but leave room for flexibility.
Mars, still out of bounds in your sign, is making your emotions feel more urgent than usual. You may feel an intense desire to push forward with a big life change, but this energy needs to be tempered with patience. Venus stationing retrograde in Aries turns your attention to your ambitions—are you chasing a goal because you truly want it, or because you think you should? Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus throughout the week bring interesting opportunities for expansion, but they also highlight gaps in your current knowledge. The Sun squaring Jupiter at the end of the week amplifies your optimism, but it could also lead to reckless decision-making if you aren’t careful.

Leo (July 23-August 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Leo & Leo Rising
House Impacted:
8th house (intimacy, finances, shared resources)
Theme for the Week:
Big decisions, blurred lines
This week calls for deep reflection on finances, emotional intimacy, and power dynamics in relationships. The Sun and Mercury in Pisces push you to examine what you share with others, whether that’s money, secrets, or emotional energy. As Mercury enters its retrograde shadow, a financial matter or emotional wound from the past could resurface, asking for resolution. If you’ve been avoiding a conversation about debt, shared resources, or trust, now is the time to start addressing it.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries brings an interesting layer to relationships. A past lover or financial opportunity may return, but is it something you actually want, or just nostalgia clouding your judgment? Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus throughout the week could bring unexpected insights about your deeper fears, desires, or past choices. The Sun squaring Jupiter at the end of the week heightens emotional intensity, making it tempting to dive headfirst into something, but it is important to make decisions with a clear mind.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Virgo & Virgo Rising
House Impacted:
7th house (relationships, partnerships)
Theme for the Week:
Love in review
Your relationships take center stage this week as the Sun and Mercury in Pisces highlight your seventh house of partnerships. Whether it’s a romantic, business, or personal connection, something is shifting. Mercury entering its retrograde shadow suggests that past relationship patterns, unresolved conflicts, or old lovers may resurface. If there has been an unspoken issue between you and a significant other, now is the time for honest conversations.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries asks you to reassess what you truly desire in partnerships. Maybe a past relationship left you with lessons that you are only now fully processing. If a current relationship has felt imbalanced, you may feel compelled to take a step back and reexamine your needs. Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus throughout the week may bring intense discussions, but clarity won’t come overnight. The Sun squaring Jupiter at the end of the week may push you to make a bold move in love, but patience is required—what feels urgent now may look different in a few weeks.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Libra & Libra Rising
House Impacted:
6th house (work, health, daily routines)
Theme for the Week:
Rebuilding structure and flow.
This week puts a spotlight on your routines, work-life balance, and well-being. The Sun and Mercury in Pisces highlight the details of your daily life, but with Mercury preparing for retrograde, efficiency may feel out of reach. Work schedules could shift unexpectedly, a deadline might get pushed, or you could experience general miscommunication with coworkers. If you’ve been feeling scattered or overwhelmed, this week provides an opportunity to refine your systems before Mercury officially goes retrograde.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries asks you to reflect on relationships, particularly those connected to work or daily obligations. If a professional partnership or romantic relationship has felt off, this is a turning point for assessing whether it truly supports your long-term well-being. Mars, still out of bounds in Cancer, is making career ambitions feel urgent, but now is not the time for big leaps.

House Impacted:
5th house (creativity, romance, joy)
Theme for the Week:
What truly excites you?
This week urges you to rediscover what actually brings you joy. The Sun and Mercury in Pisces are lighting up your creative and romantic zone, but with Mercury heading into its retrograde shadow, past creative projects or old flames could suddenly come back into focus. Maybe you’re reconnecting with a hobby you abandoned or hearing from someone you never quite forgot.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries stirs up relationship dynamics, particularly in areas of attraction and desire. If your romantic life has felt unclear, now is the time to reevaluate whether your current situation aligns with what you truly want. Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune create an emotional rollercoaster, making it difficult to discern reality from fantasy. A romantic or creative decision may feel urgent, but patience is key.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) Weekly Horoscope: for Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
House Impacted:
4th house (home, family, emotional foundations)
Theme for the Week:
Restructuring your emotional base
Home, family, and personal security are in the spotlight this week.

Maybe a family member brings up an unresolved issue, or you start questioning whether your current living situation truly supports your needs.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries puts extra emphasis on your relationships at home. If tension has been brewing with a partner or family member, now is the time to address it. Mercury’s square to Jupiter on February 25 could lead to a miscommunication that blows out of proportion, so choose your words carefully. By the end of the week, the Sun squaring Jupiter adds optimism, but don’t let it cloud your judgment when it comes to long-term stability.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Weekly Horoscope: for Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
House Impacted:
3rd house (communication, learning, local environment)
Theme for the Week:
Watch your words
This week, conversations take center stage, but not all of them will be straightforward. The Sun and Mercury in Pisces enhance your intuition and ability to connect with others on a deeper level, but with Mercury entering its retrograde shadow, clarity may be lacking. If an old conversation or agreement resurfaces, take time to reassess the details before responding.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries highlights the way you communicate in close relationships. If you’ve been holding back on expressing something important, now is the time to examine why. Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus throughout the week could lead to unexpected news or shifts in plans. The Mercury-Neptune conjunction on March 2, in particular, may make things feel hazy, so avoid making assumptions.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Weekly Horoscope: for Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
House Impacted:
2nd house (money, values, self-worth)
Theme for the Week:
Check your receipts—literally and metaphorically
This week asks you to get serious about finances, resources, and the things that bring you stability. The Sun and Mercury in Pisces push you to examine your spending habits and overall relationship with money, but with Mercury preparing for retrograde, things may not be as clear as they seem. Double-check financial statements and be cautious with major purchases.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries highlights your values and how they align with your financial decisions. If you’ve been spending impulsively or investing in something that no longer holds meaning, it may be time for a realignment. Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus bring big ideas around money, but they may not be grounded in reality just yet. The Sun squaring Jupiter at the end of the week adds a sense of urgency, but avoid making financial commitments based purely on excitement.
Gifts for Aquarius and Astrology Reports
Pisces (February 19-March 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Pisces & Pisces Rising
House Impacted:
1st house (self, identity, personal goals)
Theme for the Week:
Redefining who you are
This is a major week of self-reflection for you. With the Sun moving through your sign, this is your season of renewal, but Mercury in Pisces entering its retrograde shadow suggests that clarity around personal goals may still be forming. You may find yourself questioning your direction, how you present yourself to the world, or even your personal style.
Venus stationing retrograde in Aries asks you to reevaluate what you desire, both in relationships and in life. If something no longer aligns with your sense of self, you may feel the urge to let it go. Mercury’s conjunction with Neptune on March 2 blurs reality, making it easy to get lost in dreams and ideals. While this is a powerful time for creativity and introspection, avoid making major commitments based purely on emotion.
