Mercury begins the week happily skipping through your sign. But when Saturn enters the equation, you might feel a bit down on your luck, irritated or hopeless. It’s perfectly fine to feel all the feels, even those that aren’t all that positive. Acknowledging your raw, uncensored emotions allows you to honour where you’re at. And remember, this too shall pass.

La Luna makes a lovely angle to your sign Taurus, uplifting your spirits. A troublesome issue won’t seem like such a big deal by week’s end. Even if it’s a tiny flicker, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Now is the time to hold onto faith, knowing that you have everything it takes to overcome a challenge or reach a cherished goal.

Twins are doing fabulously well this week, thanks to Venus’ blessings. By Saturday, you’re sparkling even if you have nowhere to go but your own sofa. Who cares if your social calendar is barren? What’s important is that you look and feel your best, according to your own standards. And if that takes popping on some lippy and dancing around your living room, so be it.

Whether in the home or the outside world, you’re willing to work hard this week. Saturn and the Moon’s Node lights a fire in your belly. Despite current restrictive circumstances, you’re determined to push through. Good on you! Although you may need a loophole to smash your goal, eventually, you’ll reach your destination. Keep chipping away Cancer.

The Sun arouses your travel sector. Still, with no way of fulfilling your desire to escape, you’ll have to resort to other means. Give yourself a break from an onerous duty or responsibility that’s been weighing on you to recharge your batteries. A bit of pampering wouldn’t go astray either. Take time out and spend it any way you damn well like.

This week bring a relationship reassessment. Reflecting on what you crave from a partner is crucial, as your needs evolve over time. If your desires have changed, address this with your sweetheart, so you’re both heading in the same direction. For singles, the clearer you are on your expectations, the more likely you’ll be to find someone that meets them.

Pluto packs a planetary punch in your home sector, creating a tug-of-war between you and someone you live with. An imbalance of power is the root cause of the issue, so reexamine your give-and-take ratio. You could unknowingly come across as too demanding, when in fact you’re just shouldering more than your fair share of the responsibility.

Le Soleil gets super friendly with Jupiter this week, giving your wellbeing a boost. Put all that extra oomph to good use, even if you’re self-isolating. Jump online and join a fitness class, go for a power walk or a solo bike ride. Make sure the emphasis is on fun. What’s most important is that you’re elevating your heart rate and endorphins. Try it!

Jupiter, your planetary ruler, throws down the gauntlet this week. Challenge accepted! You’ll overcome any hurdle provided you keep your eye on the prize. If you’re struggling with a seemingly impossible problem, think outside the box. The definition of lunacy is to continually repeat the same action while expecting a different outcome. What can you do differently this time?

The Moon’s stopover in your sign helps you out of a rut. It might be hard to see your way out of a sticky problem but keep your focus solution-based. This week, escape the mental monotony by getting out into nature. A wander amongst tall trees and plants (anything naturally green) helps to recharge your batteries.

Healing an emotional wound is possible this week. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes. If you’re at fault, say sorry without the ifs and buts. However, if you’ve been wronged, listen to the apology with an open heart and mind. Then, if you chose not to accept the excuse, at least you can put things behind you once and for all.

Let’s face it Pisces, you’re a hugger. A tactile soul, you need plenty of affection to be in your happy place. Loneliness gets you crying out for attention. Although you’re missing the physical sensation of touch, sending out some virtual love helps you to feel connected this week. Reaching out not only brings you bliss but comforts someone else in need of kindness too.
