Aries
March 21 to April 20
With Venus newly arrived in the gentle Cancer, she also angles towards Saturn and Neptune, both rewinding in your sign. You’re usually full throttle, but this alignment urges you to slow down and listen to your body and your feelings. Rest, enjoy home-cooked meals and good friends can do more for you right now than anything else. Opt for soothing routines that ground and heal.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Your ruler is sending signals to Saturn and Neptune, and it’s time to trust your deeper instincts. You’re craving comfort, but not the kind found at the bottom of the biscuit tin, it’s more about friendly chats and quiet moments that feed your spirit. Your inner world needs attention, and setting gentle boundaries can be key. Slow down and let kindness, especially towards yourself, be your guide.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
You’re being called to walk your talk – especially when it comes to your higher purpose. You know what is needed, but are you actually doing it Gemini? This can be particularly true around any indulgences. Whilst you can be very social, and friends are often important, be more selective about who you spend time with and what you are eating, drinking and gaining pleasure from with them.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
You’re glowing on the outside, but Venus’s angle with Saturn and Neptune asks you to attend to yourself on the inside too, both emotionally and spiritually. You may feel pulled in many directions due to career, caregiving or self-doubt, but nurture yourself first. Gentle routines, nourishing food and peaceful moments are your fuel now that can help melt away any stress.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
With Venus tucked up in dreamy Cancer, you’re encouraged to lean into quiet strength and to relax and recharge. You’re usually the star of the show, but right now it’s about tending to matters backstage such as rest, reflection and the rituals that refill your cup. Let go of overextending and say yes to slow mornings, journaling and nourishment that feeds more than just your ego drives.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
The kindness of friends is something you’ll deeply appreciate. If you’re navigating a tough patch, don’t retreat into stoic silence, instead reach out. Heartfelt advice or even a simple “I’m here for you” from someone who cares can work wonders. Let warmth show up in group texts, coffee chats or spontaneous hugs, as very often healing wears the face of a good friend.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
With Venus in a prominent zone angling towards Saturn and Neptune in your relationship zone, balancing ambition with compassion is your secret skill. Someone in your orbit may need a steady hand or a kind word, and your natural diplomacy can guide them gently back on track. Just don’t forget yourself in the process. Your support has great impact, but so does your example.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
A holiday isn’t just a luxury it’s more like a prescription. Time away from the daily grind could bring greater insight into those low-key disruptions that have been quietly stealing your peace. Whether it’s a full escape or just a long, mindful walk, a little distance helps you reconnect with what truly matters. Go easy, as this isn’t the time to push harder, it’s a chance to breathe deeper.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
With Venus forging angles to Saturn and Neptune, you might feel your usual fiery nature has gone on a mini vacation. Don’t panic, as you’re not losing your spark, you’re just in a phase of cosmic recalibration. This slowdown is part of a deeper shift towards more balanced, meaningful rhythms. A bubble bath, a good book or a nap might help more than a motivational podcast today.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 20
Your legendary self-reliance gets a gentle nudge. If the usual structure that binds your domestic life feels wobbly, don’t go it alone. Partners and trusted friends can offer emotional support while you ponder the next steps. Accept help, as asking for it is not a weakness. Sometimes the strongest move isn’t keeping it all together but letting someone hold a space for you, too.

Aquarius
January 21 to February 19
It’s time to trade the hassle for a little healing. If life is bringing you changes that you didn’t pencil into your diary, don’t react by doubling down, respond with kindness. Your value isn’t measured by your to-do list, and pushing through might only burn you out. Rest, reset and remind yourself that progress sometimes looks like doing nothing much at all for a while.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
As Venus syncs with Saturn and Neptune in your financial sector, the heavens encourage you to treat yourself but do it wisely. If money feels a little uncertain right now, be practical. Fun doesn’t need a fancy price tag. A walk by the water, a picnic in the park or a creative project all cost little but feed your soul. In fact, you may be surprised at how the best and most rewarding activities are free.
