After last week’s resets and recalibrations, the moon is waning in the final days of her cycle, and the vibe is: tidy, rest and lay low. The priorities you had in December aren’t the priorities you have now.

Next week’s new moon in Capricorn will bring an opportunity to set intentions and get moving on resolutions, but this week is for tying up loose ends. Love planet Venus connects with Saturn, Neptune and Uranus bringing unexpected beauty and subtle romance to the week. Venus then moves from grounded Capricorn to way-out-there Aquarius on the 17th. Under this influence, love sparks through intellectual connection, and flirtation looks like nerding out together.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

While your boss is away, you’re stuck with a lot of extra work. This week is both affirming and exhausting as you manage expectations and responsibilities, some of which shouldn’t be yours to carry. Next week’s new moon in Capricorn brings a real fresh start for your public image and career.

You’re down a research rabbit hole this week, following an impulse to plan a big trip, go back to school or finally get your yoga teacher certification.

Next week’s new moon will bring a relationship or investment opportunity that will require you to be grounded with realistic expectations. Take some time this week to breathe and prepare.

This week’s mantra: “Settle”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Last week brought some major resets and recalibrations for your closest relationships. This week though, you might need some time to yourself to rest and consider what you truly need from others. Personal growth develops through partnership, but it also comes from listening to yourself. When in doubt this week, notice what rises above the noise.

Exciting creative opportunities that will connect you to a broader community are coming together as the week begins. Next week’s new moon is for setting intentions around artistic and romantic desires, and your mission now is to cut off any obligations that feel like a waste of your time. You don’t have to go on a second date just to “be nice.”

This week’s mantra: “Release”

Libra (September 23 - October 21)

The urge to hibernate is strong this week as you realize once again that your visibility goals are going to require more calm and order in your private life. It’s a great time to tidy up your home office or ease into a more aligned morning routine. Your ruling planet Venus enters Aquarius and your romance sector on the 17th, ushering in the most romantic time of year for you. So clean up your apartment before going on a hot date!

This week’s mantra: “Cocoon”

Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

Last week’s communication reset has left you with a new lease on life. Your days feel lighter now that you’ve set some boundaries and resolved a difficult conversation. Next week brings opportunities for making new friends and sharing more of your work and skills. Right now, the best thing to do is finish up projects that are taking up too much of your precious time.

This week’s mantra: “Delegate”

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Last week brought some resolve for a financial issue, but this week, you’re back to arguing with your partner about the bills. Or maybe your money mindset is okay, but you’re feeling emotionally lost. A vulnerable conversation is necessary to clear the air so that next week you can move on without any resentment.

This week’s mantra: “Open”

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

You have a lot going on right now, and it feels like everyone wants something from you. Though it feels great to feel so involved and collaborative, you’re also probably beyond exhausted. What if you gave yourself permission to actually rest? You’re not putting your dream on hold; you’re gaining the energy you need to make it come true.

This week’s mantra: “Rest”

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

This is a week where you will benefit from taking time to do things solo. Next week’s full moon brings a meditative reset, and your mission this week is to do what you need to do to release what’s out of your control. Venus enters your sign on the 17th, initiating what will soon be a major glow-up for you. Keep believing in yourself, even if things seem quiet right now.

This week’s mantra: “Glow”

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You’re closing out a major chapter in your life this week, one that has often left you feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. Though things have been tough, for the first time in a long time, you’re enjoying yourself. Take some time to unwind with friends and spend time on your hobbies. After many hard lessons, you’re finally finding your people.

This week’s mantra: “Connect”
