Mars moves into the maiden, perfectionism loving earth sign of Virgo this week which adds a level of motivation or maybe even conflict into the mix.
For Aries that means you have more energy at your disposal, which you’ll need because things start to get critical at work. Try not to take your job matters home with you no matter how stressful or consuming they are, for the benefit of your health this week.
For Taurus, a self first approach is the best approach but it could come off as a little bit spicy to others, especially when you decline offers or leave an event early. Remember, putting yourself first is not selfish.
For Gemini this is not a relaxing week to spend at home and many things call you out of your comfort zone into the world of being sociable. This works fine for you, as you could feel too restless for lazy days on the couch anyway.
For Cancer, this week is about stimulating your mind and going down a rabbit hole of. Any leftover, misdirected mental energy could turn into anxiety or fault finding and one of the best ways to satisfy such a hunger for knowledge is by consciously learning a new skill or subject.
For Leo there may be a few heavy demands on your wallet, or it could feel like your availability doesn’t seem to meet the demands of your life. It’s normal for you to feel particularly overstretched right this week.
For Virgo this week is powerful! Mars goes into your sign for two months and this has a direct impact on your ambition. Career matters either motivate or irritate you now so before things start getting really busy from next week onwards, use this week to step away from your goal list and do something just for the fun of it.
For Libra, this week marks a bit of insomnia. You either feel too hot or too cold, you go to bed too late or you take a risk by hitting snooze that backfires when the alarm doesn’t go off at all. Make sure to set double the alarms!
For Scorpio, say yes to a social invite even though you probably feel like saying no. Finding the space for some networking or varied human interaction this week could be more rewarding than it sounds.
For Sagittarius, your life theme is all about job focus now. Conflicts that have been building between coworkers could finally come to a head or things that have been bubbling below the surface erupt to be handled. Stay uninvolved where possible.
For Capricorn, this is a time to treat yourself to a massage because the week highlights all kinds of aches and pains. Your impressive effort and action could be taking its toll on your strength right now so yes, the tiredness is for a good reason – you do work very hard – but you also deserve to look after your body too.
For Aquarius, the best word to describe this week for you is provocative. This could be in the fun way if you wish, but it could also be in an irritating, annoying and argumentative way. Be warned, everything could be frustrating.
For Pisces this week is all about making a big decision regarding your employment. This choice could be a lot easier to reach than expected after you discover some drama brewing beneath the surface at work!
