As goddess Venus (the planet of self-awareness) gears up for a long trip through charming Leo that starts on Monday, you can feel that something big is about to go down. Are you ready for your turn in the spotlight? Because this confident, dramatic partnership lasts longer than usual this year and can put you at risk for some harsh personal criticism. Sometimes putting yourself out there comes with a huge helping of having to put on a brave face even when you’re crumbling on the inside. But if that’s the price you have to pay for showing the world your authentic self, it’s worth it.
We don’t get another major planetary shakeup until the weekend, and then we get a twofer. First, deep-thinker Pluto (the planet that helps us look beneath the surface) re-enters goal-setting Capricorn while still in its retro phase, giving you some valuable insight into the emotional issues plaguing you lately. This energy can instigate some incredible personal transformations that can help you get rid of some baggage you’ve been carrying around for far too long.
Also on Sunday, communicative Mercury (the “brain” of the cosmos) enters curious Gemini, throwing you into full-on learning mode. You want to know as much as possible about everyone and everything in the coming weeks, so your mind will be working overtime to make room for all that knowledge. Getting plenty of sleep is an absolute must during this fast-paced transit. You might need to listen to some white noise or soft music before bed to help turn your busy mind off – and no scrolling through social media for at least thirty minutes before lights out!
Welcome to your shot at fame and fortune, Aries. If you’re ready for all the attention you’re going to get this week, you can turn it into something pretty amazing. For once, no one is telling you to calm down or be quiet. If the right person notices you, they can catapult you to the top. Your star power is brighter than it’s ever been. Don’t let anyone dim it.

You’ll know by the weekend whether you’re on the right track or not.

Your mind is racing most of the week, which can be thrilling one minute and exhausting the next. It isn’t easy for you to slow down, but experiencing minor health issues like a rapid pulse or more headaches than usual is definitely a sign that you’re putting too much stress and strain on yourself. There are a lot of intriguing topics that you want to explore and investigate, but none of them are more important than your well-being, Gemini.

As one of the more introspective, introverted signs, Cancer, you aren’t always comfortable with having to put on a show or have people see you for who you truly are. If you can get through the first part of the week without having a meltdown, the weekend lets you retreat back into your shell and do some serious self-analysis. You’re comfortable with this more introverted energy and ready to do some work on yourself. Taking control of your life feels good.

There’s a little too much drama around you for you to be completely comfortable this week, Virgo, but does that have to be a bad thing? Getting outside your comfort zone and seeing things from a different perspective can be really good for you now. Later in the week, self-reflection can lead you down the path you’ve been afraid to take in the past. Facing your demons is intimidating and cathartic at the same time.

You should invest in a big pair of designer sunnies this week, Scorpio, because you’re definitely going to want to have a way to hide from the paparazzi and all of your adoring fans.

Luckily, the weekend brings more introverted energy where you can get away from the crowds and find comfort in your own thoughts.
