Weekly Theme: This week the planets are asking us to rest. It may not be beneficial to push yourself too hard this week. The planets invite us to move slowly and create time to rest as this is when we may heal and answers may come to us.
Aries: March 21 to April 19
The Ram, Ruled by Mars
Hi, Aries! You are ruled by Mars and the Ram. This week transiting Mars is in the zodiac sign of Scorpio. A Mars in Scorpio may be easily triggered and may react quickly without much thought. Aries, this week, like much of the zodiac signs, you may benefit from taking time alone to avoid any impulsive reaction(s) that you may regret. This is not to say that you are not valid in your feelings. Rather, plan your reaction if you can. This week it may be wise to play the long game.
Taurus: April 20 to May 20
The Bull, Ruled by Venus
Hi, Taurus, my friend! How are you? This week you may benefit from honoring the part of you which is ruled by Venus. Venus is a more feminine planet. Can you call on the parts of you that feel feminine? Venus allows herself to accept rest and abundance. Imagine lounging in a chair, eating berries and not being bothered by the noise of our society. Can you create a moment of rest this week?
Gemini: May 21 to June 20
The Twins, Ruled by Mercury
Hi, Gemini! This week you may be teetering back and forth on something, trying to decide between ‘this or that.’ As a Gemini, this is probably not a new experience for you, however, this is a week to allow yourself to go back in time and meditate on closing out a life cycle, so in the next few months, you may begin something new. This is a week to not make new choices yet, instead meditate on your choices and how you want your life to change for the better. In the next few months the planets will be more open to starting something new. This is a week to rest and daydream! Enjoy!
Cancer: June 21 to July 21
The Crab, Ruled by The Moon
Hi, Cancer! Cancer, did you know that transiting Jupiter is in your zodiac sign till June 2026? This is an aspect that happens around every 12 years. Jupiter represents abundance. Abundance sounds like a great thing, but is an abundance of anxiety a good thing? Probably not. Jupiter may expand anything for us. When transiting Jupiter is in an aspect with someone, they may experience a desire to eat more, sleep more, want more, more, more of something. Now that you have this knowledge, you have the chance to use this to your advantage. Create a contract with Jupiter this week and ask Jupiter to bring in an abundance of something you want. This way you’re not accidentally having an abundance of thoughts, anxiety or large plates of pasta to the point it’s harming you. This is a very positive aspect in someone’s life, when they work with this energy.
Leo: July 23 to Aug. 22
The Lion, Ruled by The Sun
Hi, Leo! Leo, you are ruled by the Sun and the Sun offers creation! This week you are invited to meditate on what you want to create for yourself. This is not the week to act on your life goal, unless you really feel called, but to spend intentional time asking yourself “What do you want in life? What is your favorite way to create?”
Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22
The Maiden, Ruled by Mercury
Sweet Virgo! Hello, darling! Virgo, you are great at doing things and solving people’s problems. This is a skill for you. Virgo, this week please be mindful not to overdo anything. Have you heard of the mythological figure of Icarus who flew too close to the sun due to being reckless and pushing boundaries? This week may be a good week to avoid pushing boundaries and doing too much.
Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22
The Scales, Ruled by Venus
Hi, Libra! Libra, as the scales, you prefer balanced relationships. Unfortunately, sometimes this may be hard to come by. Libra, this week your sun sign is in an aspect with the asteroid Chiron, who is named “the wounded healer.” When we are in an aspect with Chiron, one may feel a deep inner wound come to the surface. This may feel uncomfortable to look at, however, this a wonderful opportunity to heal the wound, so you can help others overcome the same wound in the future. If you or others are feeling a wound pop up this week, just know it’s right on time and an opportunity to heal it. What coping skills do you have in place for when you or a friend is feeling a wound? It’s safe to ask for help. This energy may be strongest on Friday, Oct. 3.
Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21
The Scorpion, Ruled by Pluto and Mars
Hi, Scorpio! Woo! This week transiting Mars in Scorpio is in an aspect with the asteroid Hygeia. In astrology, Hygeia represents, you guessed it, hygiene! This is a wonderful week to focus on your hygiene and self care. Are you creating enough time for yourself? The asteroid Hygeia can represent self care, your routine, eating habits, your home life and mental health. This week, you are invited to spend time on yourself to make sure you are cared for in a way that supports you. The UMaine counseling centers offer free services to students if you seek therapy this week or in the future.
Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21
The Centaur, Ruled by Jupiter
Hi, Sagittarius! This week you are invited to spend time observing those around you. Move slow in your partnerships this week. Sagittarius, you are known as the philosopher, teacher, counselor. Do you have boundaries set in place for when others may word vomit their trauma on you? It is okay to want to help others but it is also okay to have boundaries in place so you don’t over extend yourself or experience secondary trauma. This week, the planets invite you to evaluate your boundaries and observe others to ensure they have your best interest in mind too.
Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19
The Sea Goat, Ruled by Saturn
Hi, Sea Goat! I hope you are well. Cap, you are the goat because your zodiac sign is a hard worker, but you know that already, I’m sure! Your hard work is often needed. This week you are called to rest. No heavy lifting this week if you can go without. Reframe what the term “work” is for you. This week, spend time working on yourself and resting. Will you enjoy self care if it’s reframed as working?
Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
The Water Bearer, Ruled by Uranus and Saturn
Hello, Aquarius, the water bearer. Did you know, as the water bearer, you may have a desire to help others? Aquarius is a sign that sees the value in humanity. This week may be a week to avoid committing to others. It may be more wise to commit to yourself this week and your own needs so you can have a full cup to pour into others. This may not resonate with all of Aquarius, but if you feel called to choose yourself this week, go this route, then help others.
Pisces: Feb. 19 to March 20
The Two Fish, Ruled by Neptune
Hi, Pisces! You are the dreamer as you are connected to the sea and your ruler, Neptune! Neptune may struggle seeing things correctly. Neptune is like seeing a mirage in the desert. It may or may not be there. Pisces, are you seeing things correctly this week? If not, spend some time waiting to see if the mirage goes away. In the land of Pisces, it may be a challenge to know what is real and what is not. If you are ever unsure, try to take time to find reality before making any big decisions. Remember, consuming substances may also alter your reality. Pisces loves a good escape, but be mindful, what appears real, may not be.
