The first week looks the most low-key of the month as a waxing moon continues to gain momentum. The headline act is a big burst of bouncy, fun “yes, you can!” energy courtesy of Jupiter – which stations direct on Tuesday (AEST and GMT).
Wherever you are, it’s the day to watch – especially if you’re a Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces rising person, when a fortuitous window could magically appear (hot tip: don’t think twice, just jump through!).
There’s also a major key change in the realm of social settings and relationships as Venus moving into Aries. This is a real shift from the “whatever you want to do” chill of Venus in Pisces to “let’s elope!” spontaneity of Venus in Aries. If your finger has been hovering over the “confess your true feelings” button, expect to get the nudge you need to lay it all on the line.

ARIES AND ARIES RISING
You’re cooking with gas this week as the Venus – the planet ruling aesthetics, beauty and fashion move into your home sign. It’s just the kind of weather where you could be inspired to do a spontaneous glow-up. Book the hair appointment or see your facialist – you might find they throw in a little treatment on the house. On Friday the weather looks especially nice for pulling the trigger on something a dramatic or transformative (new colour? Bangs? Piercing?). The stars are on your side; go for it – you won’t regret it.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
There’s a palpable shift this week as your ruling planet – Venus – has a major wardrobe change. After the whimsical, romantic mood you may have been feeling the past couple of weeks it could be a bit of a shock to the system. From Tuesday things feel a little more direct – maybe more than you’d like. Nevertheless there is a time and a place for just spitting it out. As the week wears on. you get closer to a moment of realisation, possibly to do with something career related. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for clues. Soon things will make more sense.
GEMINI AND GEMIN RISING
You’re getting a huge boost this week with Jupiter – the planet ruling lucky, abundance and optimism – making some noise and bringing the jazz hands. Use it to your advantage by making Tuesday/Wednesday your day for anything that requires a bit more razzle dazzle than usual. Public speaking, taking chances, finding needles in a haystack, asking for favours – whatever you can think of these are two days you might just pull off something where the odds are stacked against you.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
There’s sugar and spice in the mix this week at work as Venus sashays into your professional sphere. Don’t be surprised if your LinkedIn lights up with coffee invitations or meeting requests. If you’re in the mood to put yourself out there, it’s not a bad week to do a little networking. Friday looks especially good for teeing up a wine with someone who could help you take your next big career climb. You are, of course still dealing with Mars retrograde, so there’s every chance you’d rather just stay at home and watch The Golden Bachelor. Also entirely acceptable under this week’s stars – the choice is yours.
LEO AND LEO RISING
There’s some significant conversations brewing this week with Mercury inching closer towards the sun. If there’s a serious, future-oriented discussion you’ve been needing to have with someone significant, next weekend could be the time to bite the bullet and address the elephant in the room. Meanwhile Jupiter is bringing all the fun to your social sphere, encouraging some spontaneous hangs and serendipitous introductions. When invites slide into your DMs from Tuesday onwards, don’t think twice – just say yes!
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
Let the good times roll! This week you’re the recipient of some golden astro weather. Just living in the moment and enjoying simple pleasures – just as they are – will feel much easier under this week’s stars. Tuesday (AEST and GMT) looks particularly nice for doubling down on something social, playful and chatty. Meanwhile if you wanted to make a move on something (or someone), Friday (AEST and GMT) looks particularly supportive. Take a deep breath and lean in. You may be pleasantly surprised by the result.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
You’re coming down off a dreamy, nebulous cloud that’s been carrying you along the past few weeks. As you shift gears, expect to have a bit more energy – or impatience – as the sky brings about a palpable change. On Tuesday Venus moves into Aries which makes relationships feel a bit more fractious than you might like. But if you do need to have a D&M about something with a significant other (partner, friend, even your boss), Friday looks like the day to broach the subject. With Venus and Pluto working together, putting yourself out there could pay big dividends.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
If you’re feeling a bit bleh don’t be alarmed – it’s in the stars. The good news is you’ve only got three more weeks to navigate the low energy (thanks to Mars retrograde). This Tuesday Venus moves into the realm of health wellbeing for Scorpios folks, meaning it’s an excellent week to invest in yourself. If Nagnata is what you need to get back to Pilates, then Nagnata you shall buy. By the weekend, a moment of realisation around home or something related to your family (or even parents) could begin to take shape. Pay attention, things could get interesting.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
You’re off to the races this week with quite a few little nudges from above to help put extra spring in your step. Green lights, chance meetings, amazing thrift finds – however it plays out, all signs point to “yes”. Believe things could work out, that the deal isn’t too good to be true, and you might just be pleasantly surprised. Another nice way to take advantage is to do something romantic and spontaneous. A little getaway could do the trick – Friday looks especially good (AEST and GMT). For the rest of us, a cheeky hook-up, flirtation or just a great night out with your girls could hit the spot.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
Is it your imagination, or does that painting look a little off centre? Is your couch giving you the ick? Hold onto your paint swatches, because you’re in the grip of a big home makeover mood this week. From Tuesday, Venus sweeps through your domestic sphere, bringing with it an unstoppable appetite for DIY. Get the jump and treat yourself to some new bed linen or stock up on Aesop hand wash. The energy is strong so you’re better off succumbing to the urge rather than trying to be sensible. New sheets are always a good idea.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
It’s a nice week to be an Aquarius as you continue to power through your home season – even in spite of Mars retrograde. This week Jupiter is bringing quite a potent window of luck for your sign specifically. If ever there’s a week to buy a lotto ticket or have a flutter, this could be it. Tuesday and Friday (AEST and GMT) look especially good for things just falling into place. By the weekend there’s some big news or ideas landing that could help you see a situation for what it truly is. Embrace the clarity and take note of how things are unfolding – there are no coincidences this week.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
The soft dreamy vibes that have been inspiring plenty of creativity and “don’t stress, things will work out” kind of nonchalance finally shifts this week. In its place, a much more immediate, urgent sense to do all the things and be everywhere at once. With Jupiter also making a ruckus in your professional sphere, there’s the chance to get noticed and/or take advantage of a new opportunity at work. As a side note, you might feel an overpowering urge to shop. On Friday (AEST and GMT) Venus, Jupiter and Pluto activate your chart sending one clear message: “treat yourself”. Don’t over think things, chances are, you’ve earned it.
