Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces
This week begins with the Moon in Sagittarius, always the pompadour of truth, hair high, opinions higher, galloping through the sky with a sermon, a joke, and possibly a travel plan.
On Sunday, this fiery Moon squares the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, stirring up the eternal tug-of-war between “I have a vision” and “Yes, but did anyone make a list?” Sagittarius wants meaning. Pisces wants surrender. Virgo wants the receipt, the schedule, and the correct dosage. Somewhere in that mix, we are being asked to loosen our grip on having everything perfectly figured out while still honoring the small daily choices that keep life from becoming a spiritual junk drawer.
Uranus is also getting good and settled in Gemini after his big move into the sign of ideas, language, transportation, trade, and nervous systems. He is separating from his tight conjunction with Alcyone, the great star of the Pleiades, so the mystical static is still humming. Think sudden downloads, odd synchronicities, strange headlines, and the feeling that the air itself has started talking.
Monday brings Mars in Aries squaring Jupiter in Cancer. This is big “I said what I said” energy, with a side of family drama and possibly someone slamming a cabinet for emphasis. Mars in Aries wants to act now. Jupiter in Cancer wants to protect the nest, the people, the past, and the casserole dish. Courage is available, though so is overreaction. Move boldly, just try to avoid turning every feeling into a constitutional amendment.
Tuesday, Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius, and the conversation gets real. Mercury in Taurus likes plain speech, practical facts, and a slow chew before answering. Pluto in Aquarius is digging around in the basement of the collective mind, asking what power really means in groups, systems, technology, and community. Words may carry more weight than usual, so speak with care and listen for what is underneath the sentence.
By Wednesday, Pluto stations retrograde at 5 degrees Aquarius. The Sabian symbol for this degree is “A Council of Ancestors Has Been Called to Guide a Man.” I love this image for Pluto in Aquarius. In a week full of electric ideas and nervous-system buzz, this symbol reminds us that the future does not have to be invented from scratch. We have elders, ancestors, traditions, memories, dreams, and inner guidance waiting at the table.
Pluto will travel backward through Aquarius until turning direct on October 15 at 3 degrees Aquarius. So whatever begins to stir this week may be part of a much longer inner renovation. The invitation is simple enough: tell the truth, keep your humor, check the facts, call on your wise ones, and remember that even the future needs roots.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Weekly Horoscope: for Aries & Aries Rising
Your IRL Week:
This week has your name on it, and it comes in hot.
Monday’s square between Mars in Aries and Jupiter in Cancer can feel like stepping on the gas while someone else is trying to babyproof the house. You want movement, action, a decision. Meanwhile, life is asking you to consider the emotional impact, the home base, the people involved. It can feel like resistance, though it is really asking for integration.
You are in a moment where your will is strong. The question is how you are directing it. Reactivity is easy this week. Precision takes more awareness. You may notice old patterns around pushing through or proving a point. There is another option available, one where strength includes timing.
Tuesday’s Mercury square to Pluto brings a reality check around money, value, or resources. A conversation may cut straight to the truth. Something hidden becomes obvious. Pay attention to what is revealed rather than trying to control the outcome.
By Wednesday, Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius, and the focus shifts to your long-term vision, your community, and your future. The image of a council of ancestors guiding the way is powerful for you. You are being asked to lead, though not alone. There is wisdom behind you. Use it.
IRL Tip:
Pause before reacting. One measured response will take you further than three impulsive ones.
Self-Care Theme:

Kind Deed:
Step back long enough to consider someone else’s perspective before making a call.
