Feels good; easy does it; cashing in—mercury/mars and Venus/jupiter aim to help you make the most of it on Friday. It’s an optimal day to connect, make money, reward yourself, hit the road, or cozy up to the one you love. Saturday/sunday, the stars lean toward social engaging rather than one-to-one relating, but no matter how you play it, satisfacti­on is on the ready dial-up this weekend.

Tuesday, you have game, or they do. The day can be most favourable for a meet-up, an important talk or debate, for buying, selling, brokering a better deal, and for setting plans in motion. Tackle the paperwork; watch the game; give your lover what they desire/deserve.

On the other hand, Tuesday/ Wednesday could produce a noticeable shift, redirect the conversati­on, or something more. Read the fine print; watch for signals, subtle vibes, and intuitive impression­s. Mercury, in conjunctio­n with the sun, can bring something out into the open that needs to be discussed. Venus in opposition to Pluto triggers potent, raw, or compulsive emotions and makes for an edgy undercurre­nt. It can be hard to hold back on feelings, cravings, or desire. Both Mercury/sun and Venus/pluto are quick on the uptake. Both have a talent for connecting the dots and getting the message across. Venus/pluto can look to hit a target or to find one.

Tuesday could stir up the action regarding an important relationsh­ip issue or money matter. Through midweek, the moon in Pisces keeps potential on brew. Wednesday can bring more to the surface or out into the open. Go by feel. Don’t make assumption­s.

ARIES

March 20–April 19

Friday/saturday, it’s as good as it gets. Mercury/mars keeps the conversati­on and the good ideas going strong. Venus in Cancer soaks it up with Jupiter on Friday and Neptune on Saturday. Let the spirit move you. Indulge; create; love them; love it. Tuesday, something important/ impactful is said or done. Wednesday, it is easy to get lost, forget, or lose out. Keep it simple.

TAURUS April 20–May 20

Even the tough stuff comes easily Friday/saturday. Aim to get on their good side; upsell it; call in a favour; talk to a lawyer; put a difficult matter to bed. Mercury/mars and Venus in good shape with both Jupiter and Neptune help you to make good inroads. Tuesday night can stir it up; Wednesday waters it down. Don’t bank on a promise.

GEMINI

May 21–June 21

Looking good; sounding good. As June begins, Mercury in Gemini keeps you nicely energized and making the most of it. For this next week, feel your way along and let the moment dictate the play. Friday/saturday, soak it in, soak it up; let them know how much you care. Venus enhances creativity, romance, emotional responsive­ness, and rapport. Wednesday, time evaporates. Relax, let it go.

CANCER June 21–July 22

You have right touch, right words Friday/saturday. Play up the romance; give in to the creative muses; or aim for a spiritual refill. Emotions—yours or theirs—are an open book. Tuesday evening through Wednesday can keep you swimming in the deep end of an emotional process or creative project. Someone or something can make a strong impression on you.

LEO

July 22–August 22

Friday ends the week and begins the new month on an upswing. Use this day to talk it up or get the show on the road. The rest of the weekend continues the easygoing track. Tuesday, go with the flow. By evening, the stars give you more to say, ponder, or do. Wednesday, you’ll feel/ sense plenty more than is on display.

VIRGO

August 22–September 22

Isn’t it great when it all just falls into place? Friday can be one of those days. You can feel gifted; you can be charmed. Conversati­ons, plans, and activities should prove delightful and/or profitable. The good trend continues through the weekend and for the week ahead. Tuesday evening, say it; do it; get it solved. Wednesday, don’t force what isn’t coming naturally.

LIBRA September 22–October 23

As June opens, Mars talks it up; Venus plays it up. Connect; convey; sell it. Get your body moving; head and heart follow suit. Both Venus and Mars are great for setting wheels in motion and for making the most of it, especially through Tuesday. Wednesday, wander; conjure; heed the spiritual call; take a day off. Put off the important stuff.

SCORPIO October 23–November 21

Friday is your best to attend or host an event, sign a contract, take charge, spend on a big-ticket item, or make it official. Good news could make your day too. The good trend continues through most of the week ahead. Still, proceed with caution on Wednesday. There’s good promise and potential, but it can be difficult to nail it or them down.

SAGITTARIU­S November 21–December 21

The workweek comes to a smooth, feels-good wrap-up. Overall, it’s an easy sail through the week ahead too. Even so, late Tuesday through Wednesday, it’s easy to get caught up in the emotion, the romance, or a whim. Keep tabs on your medicines, alcohol, or drug consumptio­n. Wednesday, let the creative muses play; commune with the divine; or coast.

CAPRICORN December 21–January 19

Thursday/friday, say it; do it; make it happen. The Capricorn moon puts optimal timing on your side. The conversati­on flows. Folks are willing to spend, indulge, or give you more. Tuesday/wednesday, Neptune runs the show. Things can slip by you or get lost in translatio­n. It can be a day of drain or heightened sensitivit­y and imaginatio­n.

AQUARIUS January 20–February 18

Mars in Aquarius keeps you in good running order through Friday. The moon in Aquarius takes over the job through Monday. Tuesday evening, a conversati­on, catchup, or evening out provides good entertainm­ent. Say what you feel; get it out in the open. Wednesday, stay noncommitt­al. Ease up. Save the important stuff for another day.

PISCES

February 18–March 20

Venus/jupiter keep you feeling mighty fine. Romance or your social life can hit a high. Friday, make money or spend it; get on a plane; or get your weekend pleasure sorted out. Tuesday/wednesday, once the conversati­on or imaginatio­n gets up and rolling, there’s no telling where it can take you. Watch your vices; don’t drive impaired.
