HOROSCOPES
Grand Gestures + Glowing Truths

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) 
You’ve been waiting for the perfect time to speak your truth—it’s now. Mercury direct in your fifth house of self-expression gives you the green light to stop hinting and start owning your desires. Venus conjunct Jupiter lights up your home and family zone: a dreamy time to talk commitment, cohabitation, or that wild idea to start a family. It’s not too much. It’s just right.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) 
Mercury sextile Mars helps you negotiate like a velvet-gloved power player. Whether it’s money, time, or emotional labor, you can get more of what you need without anyone feeling shortchanged.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) 
Money talks, but so does love. The sky says both are favored now. Mercury direct helps you pitch, propose, or explain what you've been stewing on. And that Venus-Jupiter conjunction? It brings blessings to your worth: financial, emotional, and beyond. Don't underprice your value—in work or in love.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22) 
This week feels like a love letter from the universe. Venus and Jupiter are in your sign, and Mercury is finally moving forward in your second house of value. This is the glow-up transit of the month. Ask for what you want. You’ll be surprised how quickly the world says yes.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) 
You’re not just back—you’re blazing. With Mercury finally out of retrograde in your sign, your charisma is back online and your words are poetry. Venus-Jupiter brings lowkey spiritual breakthroughs. Don’t ignore those random signs, that one dream, or the urge to reach out. The universe is trying to flirt.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) 
Your intuition is speaking in full sentences now. Mercury direct opens the channel between your conscious mind and your gut instinct. Combine that with a lucky Venus-Jupiter blessing in your friendship zone, and this week is ideal for heart-to-hearts, reunions, and saying what you really mean.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) 
Mercury sextile Mars in your sign is pure charisma + momentum. You can sell the idea, win the date, or broker the deal. The key is to trust your instincts, even if they lead somewhere you didn’t plan.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) 
Forget keeping it light — your depth is magnetic this week. Just make sure you’re diving into waters worth swimming in. Emotional intensity is a gift, but only when you’re directing it toward people and projects that deserve it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) 
Secrets want out. Desires too. With Mercury finally moving forward and Venus conjunct Jupiter in your intimacy sector, this week is hot, revealing, and maybe a little messy—in a good way. Say what you want. Don’t be afraid to go deep. Vulnerability is your aphrodisiac now.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) 
You’re the grown-up in the room, but even you need a soft place to land. Venus and Jupiter light up your relationship zone, inviting you to receive (not just give). Mercury helps clear up confusion around money, debt, or emotional baggage. This week, love comes with clarity—and real potential.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) 
You don’t need cosmic permission to start fresh, but you’re getting it anyway. Skip the astrology apps for a second and listen to your gut. It’s whispering the thing you’ve been pretending you can’t hear.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) 
Ceres retrograde in Aries puts a spotlight on self-worth and resources. If you’ve been leaking time, energy, or money into the wrong places, this is your moment to course-correct — lovingly but firmly.

TAROT VISION
🪂 The Fool: Leap Before You Look

This week’s tarot pull is The Fool, stepping into view with the steady grace of a young mountain goat, surrounded by roses and stardust. It’s the moment before the leap—where possibility hums louder than fear. The Fool reminds you that every great adventure begins with trust in the path you can’t yet see.

Our card shows a white goat poised on the edge of a rocky cliff, a single white rose at its side, a feather drifting through the air. Behind it, a cosmic sky glows with galaxies—proof that the universe is watching, waiting, and ready to meet you halfway.

The Fool whispers: The best way to begin is to begin.

Your Weekly Flow: Edge of the Cliff, Heart Wide Open

With Mercury finally direct and Venus cozying up to Jupiter, the week crackles with fresh-start magic. The Fool’s presence says: this isn’t about perfect timing—it’s about daring to take the step.

🌙 Monday–Tuesday: Mercury Direct + Venus–Jupiter
Say the thing. Book the ticket. Hit send. The skies are lined with green lights, and the smallest act of courage could set off a chain reaction of joy.

🌟 Wednesday–Thursday: Fool Energy = Trust the Air Beneath You
The pace quickens. Let curiosity steer, even if the map isn’t complete. Surprising turns lead to the best views—don’t resist the detour.

🔥 Friday–Weekend: Mars–Mercury Harmony
Your words find their wings. Conversations click into place, especially around love and partnerships. With Mars sliding into Libra, the tempo shifts from sprint to sway—balance makes the leap last.

TOP TRANSIT
🌟 Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer (Monday, August 11th)

This is one of the luckiest, lushest alignments in astrology. Love, creativity, home, and connection all get a gorgeous glow-up. Use it. Express your feelings. Make a big move. Tell someone they matter.

Ask yourself: Where can I go all in on joy, even if it feels a little scary?
