Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Never underestimate the power of the little things, Aries. This weekend, you’ll uplift people with genuine compliments and by sharing small bits of happy news with friends. It’s easy to fall into the habit of venting and freaking out these days, but these “cathartic” conversations can send everyone into a panic spiral. With Saturday’s uplifting Venus-Saturn trine, start some new traditions, like a mastermind call to share your greatest hits of the week or a virtual book club. Sunday’s stars bring more incentive to mix up your routines. While you can cruise along comfortably following the same patterns of getting stuff done, your creativity ultimately suffers. A moon-Uranus trine challenges you to find new ways of working. Investigate savvy approaches, including apps or online solutions related to your area of expertise. You could find inspiration in the latest innovation, putting you back on the map in your field. See the full week >

Taurus (April 20- May 20)

You’re in with the in crowd thanks to Saturday’s garrulous angle between outgoing Venus and status-obsessed Saturn. Socialize strategically—it can be done, yes, even while practicing social distancing. You could break through barriers with a prestigious group by joining a weekly mastermind call, for example. Although it’s the weekend, this is a dynamic day for career matters. Hop on a call with a prospective collaborator; send a bold email asking for support on an initiative. When it comes to love, you’re undeniably picky, Taurus, but Sunday’s moon-Uranus trine could manifest a prospect who makes the cut. One caveat: This person may not come in the package you expect. When it comes to a committed relationship, it’s hard for you to choose between a dependable partner and an adventurous one. Don’t opt for one or the other. Today could deliver someone with a heady mix of both. Coupled? Unpredictability is a potent aphrodisiac. Surprise your sweetie with an irreverent, and utterly sexy, move. See the full week >

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your outsized ambitions get a boost Saturday, thanks to an alignment of creatrix Venus and structured Saturn. One catch: Coloring TOO far outside of the lines could lead you down the wrong rabbit hole. The right recipe? Blend two parts innovation with a heaping helping of traditional wisdom. This formula will still produce something original, but your end result will be built to last. Sunday’s rule? Family first, Gemini. Certain friends have come to expect that you’ll swoop in and save the day. Are you exhausted yet? Along with feeling drained, some of your closest relationships could be suffering. Reshuffle your priorities and put your loved ones back on the front burner. where they belong. Do you have plans to chat with someone new? Reschedule those so you can be fully present for your familiars. See the full week >

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Caution: Awkward moments ahead. Saturday’s alignment of Venus and restrictive Saturn makes it difficult to read people. Don’t take it personally if someone gives you a vague or noncommittal answer. People are still figuring out the new flow of our reordered world and may be dealing with some heavy emotions. Keep on making a consistent effort to connect—just do so in smaller ways that don’t come with expectations. A little “How’s your day going?” text or a funny meme can do the trick. On Sunday, take  care not to hoist your new friends too high on a pedestal. Expecting perfection from anyone, no matter how appealing, is a recipe for disillusionment. Ultimately, even the most ideal person will still come with human “flaws.” Better to find out sooner than later where their edges lie, and see if you can (or can’t) deal. See the full week >

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Love is universal, Leo, and it comes in many forms. If you find yourself in a funk this Saturday or fixating on THAT person, turn your attention toward a creative project. Feel like organizing a virtual get-together? Detour away from the drama queens and touchy-feely types. Sure, they’ll listen to you vent, but what you need is a worthwhile distraction, NOT another opportunity to make you-know-who the centerpiece of your conversations. Laughter really is the best medicine, so put on a funny movie or play some board games. And, as Murphy’s Law goes, the minute you forget about that vexing situation is exactly when the long-awaited text will come in. Tap into technology on Sunday and increase your efficiency by leaps and bounds. The potential for increased earnings exists—if you’re willing to do some studying. Play around with new apps, access downloadable resources, partner up with product developers. Even if there’s an initial learning curve involved, the long-term forecast promises productivity and profits. See the full week >

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

There’s nothing wrong with having goals, Virgo, but don’t force your agenda on Saturday. Charm can come off as manipulation—and let’s be honest, maybe you ARE gunning for a certain outcome. The thing is, people can sense an ulterior motive, and it can cause them to back away. Take a deep breath and allow situations to progress organically. If you need them to move along at a faster pace, ask for support directly instead of dropping hints. Your practical magic steals the show on Sunday. Share your new ideas, even if you’re worried that people aren’t in the same mindset. Although you’ll push people out of their comfort zones, you’ll also open them up to wild and inventive possibilities. Are you tapped out in the inspiration department? Let your curiosity lead you down a new path. Whether it’s an intriguing TED talk, a mind-opening webinar or a virtual meditation, purposefully seek out original thinkers. See the full week >

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

While you admire people who live by their own rules, you also need consistency in your relationships. Saturday’s alignment of your ruler, social Venus, and stern Saturn could bring misgivings about an attraction or friendship. The energy you’ve been using to woo this person may be better utilized for the pursuit of your own passions. Resist distractions and prioritize yourself. When you’re confident and self-possessed, you’ll draw the RIGHT people your way. Did you isolate yourself on your ascent to the top, Libra? We know that wasn’t your intention, but on Sunday, some people could feel slighted by your single-minded ambition. Reach out, show some gratitude and bring back the love. Express your appreciation for the support you’ve received along the way. If you can send a gift by mail, do! See the full week >

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Are you analyzing a situation to the point of obsession, Scorpio? Solutions aren’t emerging, but the green-eyed monster may be—help! Before jealous-brain takes hold on Saturday, do something to quiet that disruptive internal dialogue. Meditate, journal, call a healthy friend to do some crafting together, separately. Shifting your focus is the best strategy right now. Let go of your attachment to things working out a certain way. The universe may reveal a far better plan if you cede control. Sunday’s planets leave you feeling more protective than usual about your personal space. If you’re not in a conversational mood, respect your own boundaries and go with the ebb and flow of your emotions. The reflex to retreat is your spirit’s way of telling you to reconnect with yourself. Listen to that inner voice, take a time-out, and you’ll be back to being a nurturing Scorpio in no time.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Even the healthiest relationships require periodic check-ins to make sure everyone is feeling happy and loved. This Saturday, as stable Saturn lends its supportive energy to warm-hearted Venus, touch base with BFFs and your boo. Create a safe space for honest dialogue by allowing them to give you feedback without getting defensive (or vengeful later on). Maybe they need more from you or would be totally fine with you dialing things back a bit. It’s not that you have to kowtow to their desires, Sag, but these discussions can help you find better ways of communicating and cooperating. Geek is chic this Sunday, Sagittarius, so stop struggling and let your gadgets work for you. Download apps that will help you track your moves and make life more convenient. Is it time to watch that tutorial and master some new software? This might even spell money in the bank for you, so plug away. Update any devices that are verging on dinosaur status. The investment will be worth it! See the full week >

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Mind over matter? With Venus and Saturn getting cozy in the most introspective zones of your chart this Saturday, you could actually move from one belief system to another. Where are you telling yourself “I can’t” or “It’s overwhelming”? Creative solutions can emerge if you break the mission down into smaller steps. Visualize the desired outcome, then work backward from there. What milestones would you have to reach along the way? Sunday finds you back in your “go big or go home” element. A supersized opportunity is on the horizon, but brace yourself. This is larger than anything you’ve tackled in the past, so it might throw you a bit off-balance at first. Don’t stress. It just means that some planning is in order. You’ve got the wits AND the team to make it happen, so lean on your supportive cast and crew. It might not be smooth sailing from start to finish, especially since you’re all working remotely. But when you finally drop anchor, you’ll have something great to celebrate. See the full week >

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

There’s nothing wrong with wanting “more,” Water Bearer, so no apologies for being ambitious or asking others to bring their best. On Saturday, when aesthetic Venus forms a flowing trine with your co-ruler, elite Saturn, you may become acutely aware of the need to upgrade. Have certain wardrobe items become more “shabby” than “chic”? Does your online presence reflect your true capabilities? Are your friends supportive in your quest for growth? Make any necessary adjustments to put your best foot forward—in Louboutins, Prada loafers, whatever! Get ready for the Sunday Google Hangout to turn into a giant confessional booth as the moon gets in formation with your ruler, open-minded Uranus. As you share from the heart, you’ll wind up inspiring others to reveal their deepest struggles to you. Pass the tissues, and don’t stress if you aren’t sure what to say. Your calm, quiet presence is enough. See the full week >

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

On Saturday, aesthetic Venus and structured Saturn get in formation and bring out the interior decorator in you. What would happen if you moved some furniture around or reconfigured the rooms? In matters of the heart, there may also be some “dust bunnies” to vacuum away. Lovingly bring up your concerns before they snowball into something bigger. Just remember to pose them as questions, not accusations. Sunday’s planets give you a double dose of diplomacy, which might create an even BETTER space to talk about the really tough issues. No hemming and hawing, Pisces. You need to lay it all out on the table if you actually want to make some changes around here. Through dialogue, you might realize that the other person has been walking on eggshells, too. Devise a solution that works for both of you. Don’t hate, collaborate! See the full week >
