♈️ ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
You’re done battling yourself. Ceres stations direct in your sign later this week, and suddenly the fog around what you want in love starts to lift. After months of second-guessing your needs, you’re finally ready to nourish the parts of you that have been running on fumes. This is your moment to stand up for what actually supports you. Stop shrinking to make someone else comfortable. Choose the version of love that chooses you back.

♉️ TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Plot twist: the adventure you’ve been craving starts with saying yes. Fortune favors the bold this week, especially in matters of the heart. As the Sun enters Sagittarius on Friday, your relationship sector lights up with possibilities that ask you to step outside your comfort zone. Whether you’re single or partnered, embrace spontaneity in love. Say yes to an unconventional date or group hang, or finally shoot your shot with the person who makes your heart race.

♊️ GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Sometimes the universe whispers, sometimes it screams, and this week it’s doing both. A shocking revelation could surface, or someone from your past might make a surprise appearance. Don’t panic, these disruptions are redirecting you toward something more authentic. With Mercury retrograde opposing Uranus in your intimacy sector, expect the unexpected in your closest relationships. Stay flexible and resist forcing clarity when the cosmos is deliberately keeping things mysterious. The truth will land when the timing is right.

♋️ CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Your intuition is sharper than their excuses. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is activating your romance sector, making this the perfect week to trust your gut about your love life. If something feels off, it probably is. But this retrograde isn’t just exposing red flags, it is reconnecting you with what you truly desire in partnership. Take time to journal about past patterns and what you’re ready to release. The new moon in Scorpio supports a powerful reset in how you approach love.

♌️ LEO (July 23 – August 22)
The best relationships let you shine, not shrink. This week asks whether your current dynamic allows you to be fully yourself. With the Sun entering Sagittarius on Friday, you crave freedom, adventure, and a partner who celebrates your boldness instead of dimming it. If you’ve been playing small to keep someone comfortable, it is time to reclaim your spotlight. Single? Look for the person who finds your confidence irresistible, not intimidating.

♍️ VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Something from your past may resurface: be smart about it. Your ruling planet’s retrograde through Scorpio stirs up old conversations and unfinished business in your communication sector. Whether it is an actual ex reaching out or familiar patterns resurfacing in your current relationship, you are being asked to review, not automatically renew. Not everything from the past deserves a second chance. Use Saturn’s stabilizing influence to make decisions based on wisdom, not nostalgia.

♎️ LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Your worth is not determined by someone else’s inability to see it. Focus on what you bring to the table and stop negotiating with people who should feel lucky to know you. The week kicks off with strong manifestation energy, but Mercury retrograde in Scorpio may have you questioning your value in relationships. Here is a reminder: confusion about your worth only exists when you chase validation from the wrong places. The right person will not make you wonder where you stand.

♏️ SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
You’re the plotline, not the side quest this week. With Mercury retrograde moving through your sign, you are in an intense phase of self-reflection around your relationship needs. No more settling for surface-level connections. The Sun–Mercury conjunction brings breakthrough clarity about what you have been tolerating versus what you truly deserve. Use the new moon in your sign to set powerful intentions for the kind of love that honors your depth and intensity.

♐️ SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Sag season begins, and suddenly everything feels possible again. The Sun enters your sign on Friday, launching your season of expansion and adventure. This is your cosmic birthday gift: permission to be as brave, honest, and free-spirited as you want in love. If a relationship feels like a cage, it is time to open the door. If you’re single, your optimism attracts right now. Just remember that calculated risks are different from reckless ones.

♑️ CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Feelings are not spreadsheets, and ignoring them is not efficiency. You may try to logic your way through a heart matter this week, but some things need to be felt, not solved. Supportive aspects to your communication sector remind you that emotional intelligence is just as valuable as practical wisdom in relationships. Let yourself open up to someone you trust. That wall you built for protection might also be blocking the intimacy you secretly crave.

♒️ AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Your dream relationship requires you to actually participate in reality. Are you in love with a human or with your own fantasy? This week demands an honest audit. If you are partnered, collaborate on shared dreams while staying present to current challenges. Beautiful spiritual connections are possible now, but Mercury retrograde asks you to ground your romantic ideals in what is actually happening. Innovation in love needs both vision and follow-through.

♓️ PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
You’ve felt this coming for weeks, now it finally clicks into place. Multiple supportive aspects to your sign amplify your already powerful instincts about relationships. You have felt something shifting, and this week confirms it. Whether it is a deepening bond with someone special or the quiet knowing that it is time to release, trust what you sense. The Mercury–Neptune link especially supports spiritual downloads about your romantic path. Pay attention to your dreams, they are loaded with messages.

Mercury slips back into Scorpio today, turning the cosmic flashlight toward everything you’ve avoided, ignored, or politely sidestepped. This retrograde doesn’t just reveal truths, it x-rays them. You may notice secrets surfacing, power dynamics shifting, or conversations that suddenly feel sharper and more revealing than planned.

This transit is about depth. Scorpio strips away the performance so you can finally see what’s real.

Ask yourself: Am I reacting to the truth… or resisting it because I know it requires change?

This week’s tarot card pull is the Page of Swords (Reversed), embodied here by a lone wolf in a frozen Siberian landscape, staring down a sword planted in the snow. The air is sharp, the sky turbulent, the silence loud.

With Mercury Retrograde entering Scorpio on Tuesday, the energy deepens fast. Scorpio is the sign of secrets, motives, and psychological X-rays. The Page of Swords reversed is the cosmic mirror for this moment: unfinished conversations, intuitions you’ve second-guessed, questions you’ve avoided asking, and truths you weren’t ready to face.

✨ The message: You’re not confused. You’re avoiding a truth that will set you free once you’re brave enough to name it.

❄️ Monday–Wednesday: The Static Before the Signal
Mercury slides back into Scorpio on Tuesday, and something in your inner world sharpens. A comment hits differently. A memory resurfaces. A suspicion gets louder. The Page of Swords reversed nudges you: stop pretending you didn’t notice. Write down every intuitive hit because none of it is random.

🌪️ Thursday–Friday: The Question You’ve Been Afraid to Ask
Emotional weather gets stormy, but in a productive way. You may uncover someone’s mixed motives or catch yourself slipping into old communication habits. This is shadow-work detective energy: What’s behind the thought? What’s beneath the reaction? What truth is the wolf in your card guarding?

🔥 Weekend: The Breakthrough Whisper
Insight arrives not as drama, but as certainty. A truth clicks into place, soft but undeniable. Do something symbolic: light a candle, shred an old note, delete an old message, speak your truth even if only in your journal. Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio rewards the brave and the honest. The Page reversed rewards the ones who stop running from their own knowledge.

✨ The message: Your intuition has been trying to talk to you. This is the week you finally listen.

On Thursday, we asked our daily readers* which truth feels uncomfortably real right now. And the top answer wasn’t heartbreak, money drama, or relationship chaos.

It was this: “Clutter or unfinished tasks I swear I’ll deal with this weekend every weekend.”

Here’s what you had to say:

Luckily, the cosmos is here to help. Scorpio rules elimination, truth, and clean cuts. Mercury Retrograde rules the redo, the revisit, the unfinished. Take these three steps for tasks, clutter, and lingering “ugh” energy.

✨ The message: You don’t need a new life. You need to finish the things your future self is sick of inheriting.

Because the stars can’t save you from Aunt Carol (she sucks), but they can help you mentally prepare.

The countdown has officially begun. Thanksgiving is in 12 days, and the collective anxiety is louder than a group chat arguing about the best way to cook a turkey.

So here’s your cosmic (and comedic) prep guide for surviving what’s coming.

You will suddenly remember you volunteered to “bring a dish,” even though you haven’t cooked anything for a big group in months.

Pick something easy with butter and herbs, they’ll think it’s French.

Whether you’re hosting or just pretending your house “isn’t usually like this,” you will scrub surfaces you forgot existed.

Cosmic tip: No one is inspecting your baseboards except Aunt Carol. She will still find something to criticize. Accept this.

Flying? Good luck. Driving? Also good luck.

Mercury retrograde energy is giving: “Your flight is delayed, your check engine light just came on, and Terminal 2 is closed.”

Stars say pack snacks, chargers, and dignity.

Aunt Carol is ready. She has questions. Some examples include:

“Still doing that job?”
“Still single?”
“Is your hair supposed to look like that?”

The cosmos recommends: a polite smile and the emotional detachment of a monk.

According to the planets (and basic sanity):

The stars predict you won’t get holiday perfection this year. So you need preparation, patience, and possibly extra pie.

The stars can’t stop family drama, but they can help you laugh your way through the chaos.
