All Signs
Mercury goes retrograde three times every year (sometimes four). Venus goes retrograde every 18 months for about six weeks. Mars goes retrograde every two years for about 10-12 weeks. Jupiter goes retrograde every year for about four months - and this week, Jupiter begins its retrograde journey until early March 2026. All retrograde influences offer us a chance to rethink things. (Because Mercury deals with communications, ground transportation and daily activities, Mercury retrograde can be maddening!) However, Jupiter's retrograde is more of a cosmic pause. ("Did I just hear a pin drop?") It's a time to reevaluate. It might also bring changes to higher education, faith, publishing or long-distance travel. We might revisit our roots and old ideas. Looking back, I've had to accept that I never got credit (or money) for inventing the orange squeezer and parallel parking.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a passionate time for you both romantically and in every other way. This is why interactions with others will be intense. Certainly, romance will be memorable and very affectionate. This is an excellent time to finish writing projects, scripts, novels and school papers because Mercury retrograde will help you. In fact, you'll wrap up old writing projects so easily, it will amaze you. Meanwhile, Jupiter's retrograde motion will bring up issues from the past related to your home life. You might revisit your roots, as it were. Childhood memories will surface. You might come across something, perhaps an old photograph, that triggers family memories. ("Why did Dad always do that at parties?")
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Relations with partners and close friends will be warm and friendly because Venus is opposite your sign. Admittedly, squabbles about shared expenses, shared costs, shared inheritances and shared property might rankle you. (A millionaire here, a million there, pretty soon it all starts adds up.) You might deal with old debts, or someone might make financial demands on you. Meanwhile, with Jupiter being retrograde for the next four months, you will find it more meaningful than usual to get involved in your local community. You'll want to share your ideas and give your input about something. Talk to neighbours. Volunteer for something. Get involved! (And get more sleep.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're getting a lot done because you have energy, focus and perseverance. (And you'll be admired for your accomplishments.) A work-related romance or flirtation is likely. This is a good time to discuss official agreements. However, you might have difficulty discussing arrangements with close friends, spouses and partners, especially if ex-partners are back on the scene. Jupiter, the planet of wealth, is now going retrograde for the next four months in your Money House, which could make you tighten your belt a bit. However, in another way, it will bring you opportunities to dazzle people with your talents, which might be hiding under a bushel. (Why the bushel?)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a playful week. Enjoy sports events, vacations, the entertainment world, and fun activities with kids because you want to have fun! Romance is blessed, which adds spice to good times. Nevertheless, you're working hard. Be patient with coworkers who might resent your industrious pace. Mercury retrograde might create delays, loss, broken equipment and misunderstandings. Meanwhile this week, Jupiter goes retrograde in your sign, which will encourage you to move beyond your comfort zone and explore new boundaries. Discover ways to boost your confidence. Jupiter wants you to create your own good luck. (This influence lasts for the next four months.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Home, family and your private life are your focus this week. For example, you'll love doing something to redecorate where you live. You'll enjoy entertaining friends and family. Admittedly, tension about old problems with your kids might resurface. Remember that you're the adult. (Fortunately, you can act.) Meanwhile, this week Jupiter is going retrograde in your 12th House, which will trigger thoughts about faith, religion or your spiritual life. You might think about what it is that you believe (because we all believe in something even if it's that "we don't believe"). This is not the time for self-denial. It's appropriate to be yourself and express to others who and what you are. Relax. Enjoy being you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a busy week because of short trips, errands, appointments and work. Many of you are also reading, writing and studying more than usual. On top of this, visits with siblings, relatives and neighbours take up your time. But you're happy to interact with everyone because you want to share your ideas and enjoy a sense of community with interesting people. And you're still blessed with the ability (and circumstances) to enjoy the beauty of your daily surroundings. Your deepest reward however, is realizing how much love there is in all these interactions. Admittedly, a bit of chaos at home is a challenge. But you feel stoked about making a difference in society, perhaps even demonstrating?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You're focused on money, cash flow and earnings; and probably buying beautiful things as well. However, at a deeper level, you're prompted to think about what really matters in life. How do you define success? Your world is fast-paced right now, and you identify strongly with your ideas and opinions. Avoid arguments that aren't worth it because why ruin your peace of mind? However, if you have to sell an idea, with fiery Mars in your House of Communications - you'll do it! This week Jupiter goes retrograde at the top of your chart. It will be retrograde for the next four months and might cause some of you to question your true calling. You might want to change what you do for a living. Heady thoughts.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Fair Venus and the Sun are in your sign, which empowers you to express yourself with forcefulness. (In fact, you might come on too strong for some.) Fortunately, Venus will ameliorate and soften your energy, allowing you to make peace with others and enjoy good times with friends. Debates about old money issues or past purchases might arise. With Mars in your Money House, you might be tempted to make impulsive purchases that you later regret. Don't do this. However, this is a good time to buy wardrobe goodies - no question. Meanwhile, this week as Jupiter goes retrograde and stays that way for the next four months, remind yourself to stop obsessing about details. Look at the big picture.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You're happy to be low-profile this week. This doesn't mean you're going to sit in the corner getting dusty. Au contraire! You have some profound ideas that you're considering. Plus, fiery Mars and Mercury in your sign will encourage you to make your ideas known to others. You'll be more of a fighter for your own rights than usual, as well as the rights of others. Despite your desire for privacy, your physical energy level is high, helping you to enjoy outdoor sports and competitions. Your ruler Jupiter goes retrograde this month to stay that way until early March next year, giving you an opportunity to work on trust issues. You might want to seek counselling. Candid discussions with a love interest are likely.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This week finds you busy seeing old friends and being involved in groups and organizations. You might be more involved in community events because you're out there interacting with others. Venus will help you to enjoy socializing with everyone. In particular, these encounters will be more loving and affectionate, which will be meaningful to you. Possibly, you'll identify with the objectives of a group. This week Jupiter goes retrograde opposite your sign, and will stay that way for the next four months, which makes this window of time excellent for meeting someone who is truly meaningful to you, perhaps even your soulmate. (Clutching pearls.) Ironically, you might initially resist getting to know them.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
With the Sun at high noon in your chart, casting you in a spotlight, you impress everyone (even if you don't think you're doing anything special). Ah, the power of great lighting! People want your advice. This might surprise you but why not play along? You will likely tell them exactly what they need to hear. Even bosses and people in authority are favourably inclined to you. Avoid squabbles with friends and groups. However, competitions and outdoor team work will appeal. Meanwhile, this week Jupiter goes retrograde for the next four months bringing you an opportunity to rethink health issues like your diet, your exercise, or your lack of exercise? (Welcome to the club - we number millions.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your desire for adventure, travel and a change of scenery is still strong. This is why you want to do anything possible to broaden your horizons and enjoy new and unfamiliar experiences. Travel for pleasure in particular will be a rewarding experience for you now. In fact, many of you will strike up a romance with someone unusual or someone different from past experiences. Avoid arguments with authority figures this week. (It's not worth it.) Your ambition is aroused; but go gently with others. Because of Jupiter's retrograde action for the next four months, seek out anything that makes you laugh. Avoid issues that are dreary. Reduce negativity in your life and focus on the positive. Take a news fast.
