♈ ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
The Full Moon in Scorpio yesterday pulled something up from your 8th house and today the residue is still in the room. Shared money, intimacy, a debt you have been carrying — whatever surfaced is asking for a quieter response now. Mercury moved into Taurus and the words you choose this week about your own worth land heavier than they sound.

♉ TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Your solar return continues and tonight the Moon shifts into Sagittarius and your 8th house, asking you to feel something you would rather think about. Sit with it. Mercury entered your sign and your mind comes home. Words land with weight. You speak more slowly and people listen more closely. This is one of the best transits you get all year for negotiation and articulation. Use it.

♊ GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Your ruler Mercury entered Taurus and the buzzing in your 12th house quiets. Dreams sharpen. Subconscious patterns start forming sentences. Listen to what comes up when you are alone.

♋ CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Yesterday's Full Moon in Scorpio lit up your 5th house and something creative or romantic spilled out. Today the strategy returns. Mercury moved into Taurus in your 11th house and your friend group conversations get useful again. If you have been wanting to organize something with your community, the logistics start working this week. The Moon enters Sagittarius tonight, pulling your attention into work and routine. Tomorrow's a good day for a list.

♌ LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Career voice grounds. Mercury moved into Taurus at the top of your chart and the way you present yourself professionally gets steadier. Less performance, more substance. A conversation about your role, your reputation, or your next move could happen this week and the words you choose matter more than usual. The Moon enters Sagittarius late tonight and tomorrow your creative fire returns.

♍ VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Your ruler entered an earth sign today and you can feel the difference in your body. The mind slows in the best way. Questions about belief, meaning, travel, and the bigger picture get a steadier voice in your 9th house. If you have been chewing on something philosophical, this transit gives you the patience to actually work it through. Yesterday's Full Moon stirred something at home. The dust is settling.

♎ LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
The Full Moon in Scorpio yesterday landed in your 2nd house and money feelings ran high. Today the conversation gets slow and unavoidable. Mercury moved into Taurus in your 8th house and the topics you have been gliding past — debt, taxes, intimacy, inherited dynamics — finally get the air they need. The discomfort is the point. What gets said this week settles things that have been unsaid for months.

♏ SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
Yesterday's Full Moon in your sign drained the cup. You feel emptier and clearer at the same time. Today Mercury entered Taurus in your 7th house and partnership talk turns slow and serious. The other person speaks more carefully. So do you. A conversation that needed weight finally has it. Don't rush.

♐ SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
The Moon enters your sign late tonight and your energy lifts back up after a heavy lunar week. Mercury moved into Taurus in your 6th house and the body gets heard. Schedules get honest. If something in your routine has been quietly draining you, the language to name it arrives this week. Once it is named, you can change it.

♑ CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
What you make this week feels more like what you want to keep. Mercury moved into Taurus in your 5th house and creativity gets articulate. Romance conversations slow and ground. If you are working on something creative, the next two weeks are for the careful, deliberate version of it. Not the fast draft. The real one.

♒ AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Something feels heavier today and you can't quite name why. That is Pluto, your modern ruler, slowing down in your sign as it approaches its retrograde station on Wednesday. Mercury also enters Taurus today in your 4th house and home conversations carry more weight than usual. Move slowly. Listen closely. Today is not a day to push.

♓ PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
Words slow today. Send the email you have been drafting in your head. Have the conversation you have been avoiding. The Mercury transit through your 3rd house gives you the grounded clarity to say it right. This is rare for you. Use it.

Pluto only changes direction twice a year. This Wednesday, the slowest, deepest planet in our chart slows to a complete stop and turns retrograde at 4° Aquarius. A five-month review begins. It runs until October.

The four days between now and Wednesday are the station window. Pluto is barely moving — less than a single arc-minute per day — and that frozen quality is exactly what you feel in your life. Things stick. Decisions stall. Conversations that should resolve don't. People you expect to hear from go quiet.

This is the most diagnostically useful window of the entire retrograde. What surfaces in these four days is what the next five months will be reviewing. Pay attention to what feels stuck. Pay attention to who goes silent. Pay attention to the conversation you keep almost having. Those are the themes Pluto is about to walk you backwards through until October.

You don't need to fix any of it this week. You just need to notice it.
