One of the most positive aspects of 2026 will occur this week -- a rare dance between Uranus and Neptune that blasts everyone "open" with an opportunity to expand their consciousness. (I know this sounds touchy-feely.) Look for ways to be compassionate. Look for ways to be kind. Look for ways to expand your awareness of everything around you -- because this is the EASIEST way to seek a higher way of being. (Of course, this opportunity always exists; but this week, the planets are greasing the proverbial wheels.) Never underestimate the power of a small kindness - not only for the other person - but because of what this thoughtful gesture does to YOU. You become that "kind person." You grow. (And you should always forgive your enemies - it drives them crazy.)
Because Neptune is in your sign for the first time in your life, the rare planetary aspect this week will resonate with you. Look for ways to be kind to others, especially family members. It's a win-win! With your ruler Mars in your House of Communications right now, you'll want to share ideas with others or demonstrate the benefit of being kind and generous. You will feel your mind expanding, and entertaining new ideas for yourself and your future. Meanwhile, Tuesday and Wednesday are marvellous times to socialize, meet friends for lunch or go out for dinner. You might barbecue and invite the gang over - could be anything. Live it up!
A busy, fast-paced week! Admittedly, Mercury retrograde can trigger transportation delays, car problems and confused communications. But you're willing to work hard for money, which is a good thing because you're spending it. Many of you will see ways to be generous to family members, as well as to improve your home or find a better home. You might also find a new job or a new income stream. Basically, this week is brimming with opportunities to improve your life, especially if you look around you to see how you can help someone else improve theirs. This week is the classic example of what goes around, comes around.
You have lots of energy because fiery Mars is in your sign urging you to work hard to further your own interests. Your physical energy is high and you're happy as long as others let you be free to do what you want. Something unusual or unexpected with a friendship might occur. Or you might meet someone who is unusual but inspiring. You might learn something important from this encounter. In fact, you might have an epiphany this week about how important a friendship is to you, or how meaningful your relationship is with a group or club. Meanwhile, enjoy discovering ways to make your home look better. Invite the gang over for pizza and beer!
You're in the driver's seat with the Sun in your sign boosting your energy and attracting people and favourable circumstances to you. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde is also in your sign, which is why ex-spouses, partners and friends from the past are popping up. Meanwhile, this week, you might entertain lofty ideals about your life direction. You might surprise yourself with new thoughts about what you want to do and what path you want to take because your idealism is aroused! This is a good thing because at heart, you are a nurturer. You're a caring sign. You are personally sensitive but you are also sensitive to the suffering of others, which is admirable.
You are perfectly primed to take advantage of the benefits of this rare planetary event this week because Jupiter is in your sign! Jupiter rules wisdom and joy. It is also the "glue" that holds society together - laws, contracts and human bonds, especially related to groups. Something will happen this week that elevates you. You might want to live according to a higher purpose. You want to do the highest good. You want your life to be more meaningful. Although these words sound lofty - in fact, a shift to these kinds of goals will improve your world - no question. You'll become happier because the act of practising kindness for others makes you happier. You'll have more self-respect and more self-love. ("Elementary, my dear Watson.")
This is a popular time! In part, because friends from the past are back in your thoughts, your world or your dreams. Your ambition is aroused; plus, you're charming and graceful with everyone because fair Venus is in your sign. (This is also a great week to buy wardrobe goodies for yourself.) Meanwhile, don't be surprised if you suddenly have some wild and crazy ideas about wanting to go off in a new direction. Your idealism is sparked, plus you see a way of living your life that gives you a personal sense of accomplishment and joy because you can be of service. This gives your life meaning! What more could one want? (Well, a mortgage-free condo?)
This is the only time all year when the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. This is why others admire you and your abilities, which is why you might be asked to take on increased responsibilities. Say yes because you won't have to do anything special to please everyone. Meanwhile, unexpected opportunities to travel, or write a book, or explore medicine and the law might be thrilling. No matter what your age - you're eager to take on something new that will expand your world! Whatever this is will also lift your spirits and make you feel more alive. Be open to ideas that you might usually dismiss or not even entertain. Carpe diem!
It's fortunate that for the first time in 12 years, lucky Jupiter is travelling across the top of your chart, making you look successful, affluent and wise. This is why you will get a promotion at work or some kind of public recognition. Meanwhile, you might suddenly have an opportunity or feel the urge to raise money for a worthy cause or channel goods and resources from another party (even your partner) to those in need. You might travel more than usual. You might also receive unexpected help from new sources. Since we know what goes around, comes around - what can you do to keep this formula going? Right now, you benefit. But what about later? Be generous now so that you will benefit in the future. Eh wot?
You're the traveller of the zodiac, and for the next 12 months you have marvellous opportunities to expand your world through travel, education and meeting people from other backgrounds. Something unusual might occur this week - suddenly - in terms of meeting someone new who elevates your perspective on life. You might see new ways of living - literally, new ways of being! These insights might come through a spouse, partner or someone entirely new and unusual. They might even relate to your kids or a romantic partner? Whatever the case, you will seek ways to be the best that you can be. (Why be less?) This is a glimpse of your exciting future.
You get a sense of satisfaction out of being useful - with your friends, in a group, or in society. This week you might suddenly see a way to make an improvement that is kind of mind blowing to your job, your health or how you do your work. Perhaps it's a way of seeing the highest good for the highest number? Whatever the case, grab any opportunity that gives you a sense of fulfilment, joy and richer rewards for being involved with others. This is actually what you have always been looking for, isn't it? Well yes, you want security - don't we all. But you also want an inner richness that is attainable now, if you look around you.
You're working hard because you want to accomplish a lot. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde is dogging your heels with misplaced items, delays and goofy mistakes; but - Mercury retrograde will also help you finish old jobs! What might be exciting for you is the possibility of creating something entirely new. This could be a sudden goal or a new dream. You might see a way of making art or creating something original or living in a more meaningful way through your kids - or a romantic partner. Whatever it is - it's a thrilling opportunity! It makes you feel alive! If you can be generous through the arts and kids, you will feel rewarded.
You feel playful! You will also more easily express your artistic talents. Social outings, sports events, fun activities with kids and romantic opportunities will bring a lift to your week. Ironically, this is the perfect time to improve your existing job or find a better job - the best in over a decade! Venus opposite your sign smooths the way for warm relations with everyone. Meanwhile, today something unexpected will make you value family in a special way. You will see the importance of this relationship and will do what you can to protect and enrich it. You see now that your practical and financial interactions with family members are a blessing.
