All Signs
On Wednesday there's a Solar Eclipse in Leo creating a six-month window of exciting opportunities for everyone. Some will begin a new project. Some will have a deeper appreciation of their creative talents. Others will feel more confident about their ability to lead and inspire people. And some will be willing to become more visible in their community - professionally or personally. This is a game changer! It's also our chance to tackle issues that have been long overdue. I've decided I'm going to dust. Of course, I know that if you put out fresh flowers, you don't have to dust. But I think one should dust anyhow, once a year, whether it needs it or not.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You are the artisan of the zodiac. You're energetic, driven, purposeful and quick to act. You take charge. You think fast and you act quickly. This special Solar Eclipse will make you appreciate your creative talents. It will also heighten your interest in sports, children, the arts, the theatre, the hospitality industry and socializing in general. All of these areas will now have greater appeal for you. This is why you might socialize more, or take a vacation. Plus, increased activity on the home front will be a tad chaotic for the next two months. Visiting guests, renovations, or residential moves might be chaotic. Just grin and bear it. Be patient. Find an exciting escape that appeals. (Your secret solution!)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The Solar Eclipse on Wednesday will activate the energy around home and family for your sign. You might become excited about new ways to improve or expand your home. You might do repairs, plan renovations or improvements. You might have family discussions about a residential move or expanding your family? The truth is because you're downsizing and letting go of a lot of things - anything is possible! Meanwhile, fiery Mars has just moved into your Third House, accelerating your daily pace. You're busy! Not only will you be talking to everyone and bustling with appointments and errands - you'll be keen to share your ideas with convincing vigour! Great for sales and marketing!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a magical week because the Solar Eclipse on Wednesday is taking place in your "home", which brings changes to your daily routine. It will energize your style of communicating. You'll have big ideas! You might be excited about a creative project. You might be more involved with children. You might be more interested in the theatre, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry. You might do something you've been mulling over in your mind for the last few years. A social event? A new course? A new language? Whatever it is will expand your world! Meanwhile, for the next two months, you'll bust your buns making money because you're spending it.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Fiery Mars enters your sign this week to stay until the end of September. (Happens once every two years.) Because Mars represents energy, you'll be more vigourous, more direct and more active in every aspect of your life! You'll work hard to further your own interests. You won't hesitate to assert yourself at work or at home. You'll be more of a fighter for your own rights - and the rights of others. Your physical energy will be high, which means you'll work hard and accomplish a lot. (You might be a tad bossy.) Meanwhile, the Solar Eclipse this week will trigger moneymaking ideas! It might also attract moneymaking opportunities! Ka-ching!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
It's all about you, dear Leo. The Sun is in your sign; Mercury is in your sign, and for the first time in 12 years, Jupiter is in your sign. And this week, the Solar Eclipse on Wednesday is in your sign. It's time to believe in the hopes you've been nurturing but thought would never happen. Check out those ideas simmering on the back burner. You made no commitment to them because they seemed like a fantasy. It's time to get serious. It's time to make a commitment to your dreams. Ironically, your chances for success are much better than you know because in the next two years, you'll be in your time of harvest, bringing to fruition much of what you've been doing in the last 15 years. What do you want to do?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Because your birthday is looming ahead, it means your personal year is ending. Wednesday's Solar Eclipse signals that you're closing one chapter and getting ready to open another. As such, it's the perfect time to let go of emotional baggage and limiting beliefs. It's also appropriate to enjoy time alone and contemplate your navel. Nevertheless, you won't sit around getting dusty because fiery Mars has moved into your 11th House stirring up activities with friends and groups. Now is the perfect time to think about future goals. Get out and enjoy physical activity, athletics and competitive sports. Enjoy shopping for beautiful things, clothes, jewelry, antiques and art objects. Yay!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You're a social sign, and the Solar Eclipse this week is fortuitous because it takes place in your 11th House, attracting the beginning of friendships and your involvement with groups, even your role in the larger community. You might contemplate some serious long-term goals. This New Moon will help you to find the members of your tribe. This is important because you need connections with others. Fortunately, fair Venus in your sign now makes you look attractive to everyone. (This is an excellent time to buy wardrobe goodies.) Meanwhile in another part of the forest, fiery Mars, for the first time in two years, has moved to the top of your chart arousing your ambition. Oh yes, you mean business! And you're colour coordinated.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You make a great impression on others now because the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, and lucky Jupiter are all at the top of your chart. This enhances your image in your world. It's how others see you. (Which might or might not be the truth about what's actually happening in your life.) Be assured that you make a fantastic impression on everyone! Plus, this week the Solar Eclipse also takes place at the top of your chart. Expect greater recognition for what you do. A new job? A promotion? The launch of something exciting? A new book, a play, a party, a social gathering. You have increased visibility that is thrilling. Personally, you might become involved with an authority figure. (Romance with a boss?)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
What is happening now is timely because you are the traveller of the zodiac and currently, five planetary events make you want to travel! (I would never kid you about this.) Obviously, if you can get outta Dodge - do so! Pronto! But if you can't travel, then be a tourist in your city. You can also expand your world through study, film and talking to fascinating people from different cultures. You can also explore opportunities in publishing, medicine, the law and higher education. Meanwhile, fiery Mars could trigger disputes about inheritances and shared property. You might have to reevaluate your position on something. Mars will also increase your passion in every aspect - yes, that too.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You might encounter some challenges this week because fiery Mars is now opposite your sign until Sept. 27. (The last time this occurred was in the spring of 2025.) This creates tension because it can attract aggressive people to you. More than that, in your everyday relationships with partners, spouses and close friends, it can create a mutual irritability. The upside is that it will give you the courage and opportunity to put your cards on the table and air your grievances. Fortunately, fair Venus is high in your chart now, which means you create a favourable impression on everyone. Romance with someone of an age difference might happen. Meanwhile, the Solar Eclipse will highlight shared property and the division of wealth.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
There's a gaggle of planets opposite your sign drawing your focus to partners, spouses and close friends. You might attract someone younger right now who has a lot to say. Certainly, relations with those who are closest to you are supportive and happier than usual. (It's a great year for Aquarians to get married.) Meanwhile, this week's Solar Eclipse also takes place opposite your sign making you wonder what new partnerships might mean? (Professional or personal.) They're important to you. Fortunately, for the next two months, you have the energy to work hard and be productive. Grab every chance to travel as a deserving reward for your efforts.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're busting your buns! After a long time of pleasure and play - you're working hard. Small wonder because this year you can improve your existing job or get a better job. It's that simple. Roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with what you're doing. Be open to new job opportunities and the chance to meet new coworkers. You will also create new organizational habits that help you run your life more smoothly. Wednesday's Solar Eclipse will bring you a chance to heal and improve your health. You'll be more aware of nutrition and eating better. Good. You are what you eat. A balanced diet is not a cookie in each hand.
