Merging energies between hostile Mars and subterranean Pluto on Monday will bring emotionally repressed sludge to the surface. This will be a time for transformation and resolution. Be prepared to face obstacles in love and romance as Venus combines forces with grim Saturn to restrict feelings on Wednesday. Venus and Saturn are not well paired in Scorpio, where Venus has little power and the grave saturnine influence dominates. This is a week for working through things.

Although your intentions are good, be careful not to overextend yourself as the sun and Jupiter form a hard aspect on Thursday. This influence promotes a misdirected sense of duty.

Neptune, ruler of dreams and the deep waters of the mind, stations direct after a long period of retrograde this Sunday. Subconscious drives and dreams will concern the future rather than the past. Venus enters Sagittarius on this day, and love and romance take on a rambunctious character. Plan romantic activities outside or travel with a loved one to a faraway place.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

This week will bring challenges to friendships, as Venus and Saturn clash in your chart’s sector of groups and organizations. Try not to over-prioritize other people’s opinions this week. Instead, act sincerely and be true to your own morals and ethics. In the end, everyone will appreciate your steadfast resolve.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

It is best to work alone this week, if possible. You may incur the wrath of a superior at work, most likely due to a bad mood. Don’t take things personally and remember that everyone has flustered moments. You may even receive an apology at a later date.

Pisces (February 19–March 20)

The planets’ battle will cause emotional duress this week and may bring memories of past experiences or childhood trauma. Rely on your success at work to strengthen your self-image and well-being.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

You will be forced to work through a relationship issue this week, most likely regarding a spouse or a business partner.

Leo (July 23–August 22)

Home and family life will change this week as you tackle a situation that has been causing problems.

By Sunday, Venus will heal your home life, and any emotional turmoil this week will ultimately yield positive results.
