Saturn is ruining the fun this week

Mercury retrograde is fully in the rearview, and yet, this week, we’re still working through November’s disruptions and uncertainties. Overall energy is low, as Mars—the planet that gets us out of bed in the morning—squares off with hard-nosed Saturn on the 8th, bringing frustrations and roadblocks that have been building since early November to a climax. At the same time, Neptune—planet of dreams, illusions, and haze—ends its retrograde in Pisces on the 10th, casting a fog of confusion over the whole week.

Despite the headaches and brain fog, progress is being made. Mercury makes a supportive aspect to stable Saturn on the 7th, a good sign for moving ahead with contracts, as well as general productivity. Then on the 10th, Mercury faces off with changemaker Uranus, throwing one more unexpected wrench into the mix. This is the third time we’ve experienced this aspect after facing surprises on October 29 and November 19. Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 11th, where the communication planet is known for having no filter. On the 13th, Mercury links up with Pluto bringing deep thoughts and penetrating focus.

The 2 Zodiac Signs About to Hit a Major Turning Point Before the New Year

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Sometimes what you want comes to you easily. Other times, you keep hitting roadblocks that are totally out of your control. There’s so much to do and your mind is spinning like a ceiling fan. This week’s astrology brings an opportunity to stop pushing so hard and just let go. An unexpected gift or offer of support from a friend on the 10th is the final piece in the puzzle you’ve been trying to solve since late October.

This week’s mantra: “Release.”

Cheeky illustration of a young non-binary person petting a bull.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Whatever big project is on your plate—whether it’s job hunting or wedding planning—has felt like constantly taking one step forward followed by three steps back. If it was all up to you, things would be settled, but what you’re working through requires a compromise that may hit hard around the 8th. If it feels like all of your friends are giving confusing or conflicting advice, take a pause until next week on making a final decision.

This week’s mantra: “Compromise.”

Cheeky illustration of identical twins with long dark hair and a statement earrings back-to-back, smirking at each other.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

This week brings a sense of accomplishment as a project you’ve been putting off since October finally makes some major progress. Though it’s still unclear who's on board and what’s happening with this venture in the future, you’re much more confident in your own role. Once Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 11th, you return to conversations that got dropped in late October and feel less alone in the process.

This week’s mantra: “Return.”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

The week begins with a wrench being thrown into your schedule—appointments get rescheduled, work meetings get moved, and your dog walker has the flu. You’re also probably feeling a lack of progress toward some of your larger goals, but at the same time, maybe some of those goals are changing. Use some of this week’s unexpected free time to do a creative project or go on a date. You deserve to have a little fun.

This week's mantra: “Pause.”

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

As much as you love the excesses and revelry of this time of year, you’re also already feeling stretched thin with all the spending you’re doing this month. Around the 8th, you’re forced to make a choice between a splurge and something thrifty, and may surprise yourself when you go with the more budget friendly choice. Something free might be more fun than the big-ticket item anyway. Sometimes even Santa has to shop at the clearance rack.

This week’s mantra: “Thrift.”

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

Whether you’re hosting family or packing to move, there’s a lot going on at your house, and if your sister or partner or roommate hasn’t been pulling their weight, you might have to force a serious talk. Tricky conversations and complicated situations have put a lot of pressure on you for the last few weeks. After a solid tête-à-tête with whoever’s been getting on your nerves on the 8th, you finally get back on the same page. 

This week’s mantra: “Confront.”

680x400 Libra@2x

Libra (September 23 - October 21)

Last month’s Mercury retrograde forced you to reimagine your schedule so that it reflected what truly matters to you. You understand your values now, but you’re still struggling to find an aligned routine. This week, despite your best efforts, you might fail spectacularly at getting everything done. That being said, a sidequest you take on the 11th brings you unexpected joy. 

This Week's Mantra: "Celebrate."

680x400 Scorpio@2x

Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

Your outlook on dating, romance and creativity has changed a lot since 2023. Whether you’re single or partnered, you have a much more grounded perspective on what brings you joy. That being said, you’re still someone with a big heart who tends to overextend, both emotionally and financially. This week, you hit a wall and realize that you can’t keep giving when you’re not getting enough in return.

This week’s mantra: “Value.”

Cheeky illustration of a Black woman with purple hair on an orange background. She's in a wearing jean jacket, with a quiver strapped across her back and arrows sticking out.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Though you thought taking the lead in organizing your family’s holiday plans was your gift to them this year, you’re learning this week that some of your efforts have not been appreciated. Frustrations rise as you feel both burdened with tasks and like no one is listening to you. The best plan of action might be taking a step back and letting them clean up their own mess.

This week’s mantra: “Retreat.”

A cheeky image of a woman of color with dark hair holding a pink goat by the horns. The background is pink and her shirt is darker pink.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Plans to take a quick trip out of town with friends come together on the 8th. The daily grind has been wearing you down, and you could use the break in routine. This week may also find you taking a mental health day from work or cancelling last-minute on a coffee date you didn’t have time for anyway. Less is more during Sagittarius season, which, for you, is a time of retreat.

This week’s mantra: “Rest.”

Cheeky image of a Black woman with blue hair on a light blue background. She's holding blue water in her palms, which is bubbling up and taking shape as her hair.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

That raise or promotion you’ve been angling for since October finally feels within your reach. On the 8th, you get some great feedback from your boss or a client that reminds you of your value. As your star rises, you’re realizing that you have some friends and coworkers who are jealous of your shine. Breaking away from a relationship you’ve outgrown will further your expansion.

This week’s mantra: “Separate.”

Cheeky illustration of a gender-fluid white person with short-cropped orange hair. They're wearing a light blue halter top as two bright pink koi fish circle their head.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

A travel or education opportunity that you’ve been exploring this fall finally feels like it’s solidifying this week. Now the pressure is on for you to seek mentorship, ask for recommendations, or get the time off you need to pursue it. You may run into a roadblock or get an unexpected “No” this week, but this redirection leads you to a connection that is more aligned.

This week’s mantra: “Journey.”
