Lots本周去思考,这是肯定的。汞—planet of communication—takes a starring role, making aspects throughout the week that inspire imagination (the 9th), investigation (the 10th) and fated encounters (the 11th). Mercury also moves from nostalgic Cancer to fiery Leo on the 11th. It’s out with thepoetic love lettersand in with the passionate proclamations ofdesire. But along with that passion comes a more fixed way of communication. OnceLeo gets an idea in their head, it’s hard to change their mind.

Meanwhile, Mars enters Virgo on the 10th—the placement of project managers and organization gurus. This influence helps us get our to do lists in order, and then cross out what doesn’t spark joy. The sun connects with Uranus on the 14th bringing even more opportunities to try something new.

Next week is when things take a turn for the more tumultuous this month so enjoy these generally chill vibes while you can!

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Aries(March 21 - April 19)

It’s time toget back to the gym, Aries. Your ruling planet Mars moves into Virgo and your daily grind sector on the 10th for the first time sinceSeptember 2021. Whether that was the last time you pushed yourself to work out, or the last time you committed to a new fitness journey, history is about to repeat itself. If you’re bored with your usual routine, it’s time to break a sweat (or get through your work day) in a new way.

This week’s mantra:“Heat.”

Taurus(April 20 - May 20)

Mars enters Virgo on the 10th and while this inspires some to clean house, it inspiresyoutoclean up your dating roster. Whoever you’re still having fun with can stay, but whoever you’re just keeping around to see if they live up to their potential (newsflash: they won’t, you know this.) has got to go. If dating is far from your mind, the next few weeks are also a great time to commit to an artistic practice or spend extra time with your kids.

This week’s mantra:“Keepers only.”

Cancer(June 21 - July 22)

Don’t forget that it’s still your season, Cancer. This week begins on a dreamy and imaginative note. You’re feeling inspired to travel, learn or teach! Whether you’re planning a trip or watchingStanley Tucci: Searching for Italyon your couch, there’s many opportunities to expand your mind.
