Leo, you did that. Mercury just ended its three-week retrograde in your sign, and this was no casual event, this was a spiritual bootcamp. If you’ve been having flashbacks to summer 2023 when Venus retrograded in Leo, you’re not alone. The universe put you on Do Not Disturb these past few weeks to show you the difference between performance and authenticity. And now? You’re rising, honey. With Mercury direct, your clarity is back, your voice is stronger, and your inner glow-up is finally catching up to the outer one. This is the moment to start laying the foundation for what you want to manifest this Virgo Season and beyond, but take it slow… there’s still a retrograde post-shadow period for two weeks, so no need to launch your empire all at once.

Of course, there is also the risk of being too low-key. “Don’t let opportunities slip by out of fear or insecurity,” the twins recently wrote for mindbodygreen, adding, “Conflict resolution will be challenging, and blame-shifting could backfire. The best way to navigate this turbulent phase is to stay humble and keep your heart open—without being overly trusting, too soon.”

The Moon continues its waxing crescent phase in Virgo, aligning with Mars and pushing us to act on what we’ve been avoiding—especially in the daily details we keep putting off. At the same time, the Sun nears an opposition with Pluto retrograde, which can bring tension around control, ego, and personal power. If something feels harder than it should, it might be time to look at what you’re holding onto too tightly. Mercury retrograde keeps things reflective, so don’t rush decisions just to escape discomfort. Stargazer, this is the kind of day where small adjustments carry weight. Progress might not look flashy, but it’s still progress.

Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today. 

Aries: March 21 – April 19

The Moon meets Mars in Virgo today, Aries, sharpening your instincts but shortening your fuse. You’re hyper-aware of what needs fixing, and that urgency can be helpful—or it can burn bridges before you’ve crossed them. Check your tone before launching into problem-solver mode. Sometimes the real win isn’t being right, but being useful without steamrolling the moment.

Aries monthly horoscope

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

The Moon squares Venus today, pressing on a disconnect between what you feel and what you think you should feel, Taurus. Venus in Gemini wants to keep things light, but the Moon’s not having it. A near sextile to Chiron and retrograde Eris encourages you to speak plainly—especially when it’s uncomfortable. You don’t need to be polished to be real.

Taurus monthly horoscope

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

Mercury’s sextile with Makemake keeps your mind on how you show up in the world, Gemini—not just what you say, but how it lands. You’re great at switching lanes mid-convo, but today asks for clarity over charm. If something matters, slow down long enough to mean it. Authenticity might not be flashy, but it hits harder than clever ever will.

Gemini monthly horoscope

Cancer: June 21 – July 22

The Moon, your ruling force, joins Mars in Virgo today and squares Venus, which means even small slights might hit like a slap, Cancer. You’re trying to hold it together, but your reactions could spike before your logic catches up. Don’t pretend you’re fine if you’re clearly not. Say it straight. The people who care won’t make you explain twice.

Cancer monthly horoscope

Leo: July 23 – August 22

The Sun in your sign nears an opposition to Pluto retrograde, Leo, turning your attention to power dynamics that feel stickier than usual. If someone’s trying to dominate the narrative, you’ll feel it fast—and won’t love it. But before you snap back, ask if you’re repeating a pattern. Not every challenge requires fire. Sometimes strength looks like choosing not to play.

Leo monthly horoscope

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Mercury retrograde in Leo sextiles Makemake, turning your usual clarity into a messier, more meaningful kind of insight, Virgo. You might second-guess yourself more than usual, but that pause has value. Let the questions breathe before you chase answers. Just because it isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Progress today looks more like honesty than precision.

Virgo monthly horoscope

Libra: September 23 – October 22

With the Moon squaring Venus, you’re feeling a little off-center, Libra—like the version of you you’re showing doesn’t quite match what’s happening underneath. Venus in Gemini wants ease and flow, but emotional friction keeps poking through. A near sextile to Eris retrograde reminds you that keeping things smooth shouldn’t come at the cost of honesty. You don’t need to pretend today.

Libra monthly horoscope

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

Pluto retrograde nears an opposition to the Sun, and it’s got you scanning the room for hidden agendas, Scorpio. You’re reading between every line—and you’re not wrong to. Just make sure you’re not projecting old wounds onto current dynamics. Not everyone is out to control the narrative. Some people just aren’t used to someone who sees this clearly.

Scorpio monthly horoscope

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Jupiter’s square to Makemake challenges how you show up for what you believe in, Sagittarius. It’s easy to stay busy chasing purpose, but today asks if your direction still feels honest. If something feels forced, it probably is. Let your actions speak for what matters—not the optics, not the momentum, just the truth you’re actually willing to live by.

Sagittarius monthly horoscope

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

Saturn stays close to Neptune retrograde and forms a sextile with Uranus, pulling you between structure and reinvention, Capricorn. You’re used to building toward something solid—but today’s astrology asks what happens when the blueprint starts to blur. Let yourself question the plan without abandoning the goal. Growth doesn’t mean tossing the rules. It means updating the ones that stopped making sense.

Capricorn monthly horoscope

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

Uranus keeps its sextile to Neptune retrograde and Saturn, giving you rare access to both imagination and execution, Aquarius. You’re used to seeing what others don’t—but today, you might actually get the green light to do something with it. Don’t let fear of permanence stall your ideas. Innovation isn’t a threat to stability. Sometimes, it’s the only thing that sustains it.

Aquarius monthly horoscope

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

Neptune retrograde holds steady with Saturn and keeps its sextile to Uranus, nudging you to shape what’s been floating in your head, Pisces. You don’t need to over-explain your process—just give it a container. When imagination meets structure, things begin to move. Let today be about trusting that your ideas deserve space in the real world, not just in your thoughts.

Pisces monthly horoscope

The Moon continues its waxing crescent phase in Leo, amplifying bold ideas and emotional honesty as it slowly pulls away from Mercury retrograde. The Sun holds steady in Leo, still opposing Pluto retrograde, which keeps power dynamics and identity themes at the surface. Venus in Gemini maintains tension with Mars in Virgo, offering friction in relationships and personal desire. Saturn’s ongoing conjunction with Neptune retrograde continues to influence how we build meaning out of confusion—what we commit to, and why. There’s no major cosmic push today, but that doesn’t mean it’s directionless. Stargazer, this is a moment for asking what kind of future actually feels worth living in.

Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today. 

Aries: March 21 – April 19

You’re walking into the day with heat in your chest, Aries, thanks to a near square between Mars and Venus. Maybe someone’s pushing your buttons, or maybe you’re realizing what you’ve outgrown. Either way, reaction isn’t the same as resolution. If it feels like everything’s poking at you, start by asking why it still matters so much.

Aries monthly horoscope

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

You’re not imagining the friction, Taurus—Venus still squares Mars while sextiling Eris, and it’s hitting where your comfort meets your instinct to push back. Something is tugging you out of autopilot, asking if the way you’ve been operating still works. Let discomfort be a signal, not a sentence. You’re allowed to want something different now, even if it once felt right.

Taurus monthly horoscope

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

The Moon and Mercury retrograde meet in Leo today, Gemini, and your thoughts may feel especially loud or oddly sentimental. Add in a lingering trine with Ceres, and emotional nourishment becomes the real craving—whether or not you’re ready to admit it. Instead of trying to spin everything into logic, let yourself want what feels good. You’re allowed to need comfort too.

Gemini monthly horoscope

Cancer: June 21 – July 22

The Moon moves through Leo and sits with Mercury retrograde, Cancer, turning up the volume on feelings you thought you’d moved past. You don’t have to solve anything today—just notice what still echoes. If something small hits you harder than expected, give it space instead of judgment. Not every feeling is a problem. Some are just reminders you’re still healing.

Cancer monthly horoscope

Leo: July 23 – August 22

You’re radiating strong energy today, Leo, but the Sun’s opposition to Pluto retrograde brings some shadows into view. If someone challenges your authority or questions your role, don’t default to pride. This isn’t about proving dominance—it’s about knowing where you stand when no one’s watching. Power that needs constant validation isn’t power. Trust the strength you don’t have to show.

Leo monthly horoscope

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Mercury retrograde sits with the Moon in Leo today, Virgo, making it harder to ignore what’s been tugging at your focus. That near trine to Ceres reminds you that feeling off doesn’t make you unproductive—it makes you human. You don’t need to clean up every emotional mess as soon as it arrives. Some things are meant to sit for a while.

Virgo monthly horoscope

Libra: September 23 – October 22

You’re picking up on tension today, Libra, and it’s tempting to smooth it over without really looking at what’s underneath. With Venus still squaring Mars and nearly sextile Eris, old habits around peacekeeping might feel especially loud. Don’t confuse harmony with avoidance. Naming what’s off doesn’t make you difficult—it makes you honest. That’s the version of you worth trusting.

Libra monthly horoscope

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

Power struggles may feel sharper today, Scorpio, with the Sun in Leo opposing Pluto retrograde in your chart. If someone challenges your position or questions your intent, resist the urge to retreat or retaliate. This is a mirror, not a trap. You’re being asked to stand in your truth without domination. That’s real control—the kind that doesn’t need a fight.

Scorpio monthly horoscope

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

You’ve got momentum, Sagittarius, but today asks how well your plans align with your environment. Jupiter’s ongoing square to Makemake highlights tension between personal ambition and shared responsibility. If something feels off, check whether you’re building toward freedom or just running from pressure. The path forward isn’t about going bigger—it’s about going with more intention.

Sagittarius monthly horoscope

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

You’ve been grinding through fog, Capricorn, and Saturn’s continued conjunction with Neptune retrograde might explain why things still feel unclear. It’s frustrating to put in work without immediate payoff, but not every result shows up on a spreadsheet. Today is about trusting effort you can’t yet measure. Keep showing up for what matters, even if no one else is watching yet.

Capricorn monthly horoscope

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

There’s nothing pushing hard against you today, Aquarius, which makes it easier to slip back into old patterns without noticing. But you know yourself too well to pretend you’re satisfied with autopilot. If things feel a little too easy, ask what you’ve stopped questioning. Comfort is fine—for a minute. Just make sure you haven’t stopped evolving with it.

Aquarius monthly horoscope

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

You’re holding a lot beneath the surface, Pisces, but that doesn’t mean you have to carry it alone. With Neptune retrograde still conjunct Saturn, emotional clarity comes through structure—not sacrifice. Pay attention to where your boundaries have gone flimsy or vague. Today favors choices that protect your peace without killing your softness. You’re allowed to be sensitive and self-respecting.
