Mercury Enters Sagittarius
On Wednesday morning, Mercury enters adventurous Sagittarius, where it’ll stay for the next three weeks. This is one of the more optimistic times of the year for the planet of thought and communication. Instead of seeing challenges everywhere you look, you’re more likely to see opportunities.
In your enthusiasm, you might end up getting ahead of yourself and letting a few details slip through the cracks. Be aware of this tendency, but don’t stress too much. You have a chance now to connect with your bigger purpose in life and take big steps forward. For now, focusing on that will serve you better than worrying about the small stuff.
Aries Weekly Horoscope
You tend to address issues, no matter how small, as soon as you notice them. If someone speaks to you unkindly, you call it out in the moment; if you notice a mistake in your work, you go back and fix it right away. But this week, you risk getting stuck endlessly tinkering with minor details and addressing inconsequential missteps while never making any headway toward your larger goals.
For now, it could be worth letting some of the smaller problems slide, or at least deciding you’ll deal with them later, for the sake of the bigger picture.
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
This week, you might be more intuitive than usual, good at reading between the lines and picking up on the hidden meanings of what people actually say. But as perceptive as you are, you’re still not a mindreader, so don’t imagine that you already know exactly how others are feeling or that there’s no need to talk about it.
Instead, use the things you pick up on as a starting point—a way to open up the discussion, to guide what questions you ask, to help you better navigate the conversation.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
You might be especially indecisive this week. You’re more aware than ever that in order to take advantage of one opportunity, you’ll have to turn down others; saying yes to one option means saying no to others that are equally good.
Life is full of tradeoffs, and there will always be some possibilities that remain unrealized, but try not to worry about it too much. Maybe you can’t have everything, but you can still have a life that’s interesting, expansive, and full of variety.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
Part of you might not feel like sticking with your usual routines today—not necessarily because there’s something specific you’d rather be doing, but simply because you’re feeling antsy, ready to try something new.
But try not to make drastic changes only out of boredom. If you can maintain your routines, at least for now, it’ll free up time for daydreaming and thinking about what you’d actually like to do instead. There’s no rush to act immediately, even if it feels that way.
Leo Weekly Horoscope
You might have less patience than usual this week for anyone that seems even a little bit boring. You want to be around people who can keep up with your ideas and your sense of humor, who can keep you on your toes.
The last thing you need is to spend your time with people who don’t seem to have anything interesting to say. There’s nothing wrong with gravitating toward those who make the world feel brighter, just don’t be too quick to assume that everyone else has nothing to offer. Sometimes it takes time for people to open up and reveal their charms.
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
As you grow over time, it often becomes necessary to leave certain parts of your life behind. You might gradually lose interest in hobbies you used to be passionate about, or fall out of contact with people who used to be deeply important to you.
This week, you might have a chance to get back in touch with the people, activities, or even facets of your personality that you thought were gone forever. You don’t have to—there’s nothing wrong with leaving the past in the past—but if you’ve been missing old parts of your life, it’s a good time to reconnect.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
This week, it might feel like you’re taking in more information than you know what to do with. Everybody seems to have a story to tell, a secret to confess, a piece of gossip that they urgently want to share with you.
Up to a point, it’ll probably be exhilarating, but eventually, it starts to seem like too much. There’s so much to take in and you can hardly process it all, let alone figure out what to do with all this new knowledge.
So for now, just listen and take it all in, and trust that you can sift through it all later.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
You tend to keep your deepest desires under wraps. Being open about your dreams feels too vulnerable; like you’re just inviting people to cause problems, to laugh at your audacity, to mock you if you end up failing.
Sometimes, it makes sense to be a bit guarded, especially with people you don’t know well or people who have been unsupportive in the past. This week, though, you’ll only limit yourself if you insist on being too secretive.
Opening up about what you want, at least to the people you trust, is likely to lead to good things.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
Sometimes, it feels like nothing you say is quite right. When you share your honest feelings with your friends, they instantly get defensive; though you’re only trying to be straightforward and transparent, they take it as disrespect.
It’s enough to make you feel like you’re better off keeping your mouth shut entirely. This week, though, conversations are likely to flow more smoothly, and your words are more likely to be received in the spirit you intended.
Don’t give up on open communication just yet.
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
If you want strong relationships, it’s important to let others know what you’re thinking. Your friends want to be able to understand and support you, but they can’t do that if they never know what’s going on in your head.
But this doesn’t mean you have an obligation to share every thought that enters your head, or that you’re a bad friend if you don’t immediately open up about every feeling you have.
If you need a bit of privacy, or if you’re not ready to talk yet, saying that can be a valuable way of expressing yourself, too.
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
Although your ideas generally make perfect sense to you, it can be hard to get others on board. The insights that strike you as obvious and intuitive might not be so clear to those around you; the concepts that come easily to you might be more difficult for others to grasp.
This week, try to remember that people aren’t willfully misunderstanding you; their minds just work differently than yours. And if you’re patient and take the time to explain things more than once, if necessary, you can eventually bring others around to your way of seeing things.
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
When everything seems to be going wrong, or when you’re simply in a pessimistic mood, you can start to believe that everyone is out to get you. Even if you know, on a rational level, that you’re being a little dramatic, it’s hard not to feel that you’re doomed to failure.
This week, the best thing you can do is practice confidence, even if you don’t quite feel that way. If you can project a sense of optimism, if you can behave like someone with absolute faith in yourself, you’ll eventually start to believe it.
