Friday brings a quiet but meaningful turning point: Mercury stands still and turns direct in the constellation of Virgo late in the afternoon, and Venus follows in the early hours of Saturday, just 1.4° from Spica. The young crescent Moon travels through Sagittarius, while Mars and Jupiter draw ever closer in Leo, ahead of their meeting on Monday.
Pisces (March 12 – April 18)
Saturn and Neptune are both moving slowly backwards through your own constellation, inviting you to look inward before you leap. Today that reflective mood pays off: an idea you set aside weeks ago returns with fresh clarity as Mercury turns direct. Write it down, share it with someone you trust, and let the waxing Moon in Sagittarius add a spark of courage to your next step.
Aries (April 19 – May 13)
Your ruler Mars is now only about 1.6° from Jupiter in Leo, a fellow fire constellation, and the crescent Moon lights up Sagittarius, completing a warm triangle of fire. Enthusiasm comes easily today, and others are drawn to your energy. Channel it into one project rather than five; by Monday, when Mars and Jupiter meet, you will see how much a single focused effort can achieve.
Taurus (May 14 – June 20)
Uranus lingers in your constellation, keeping life interesting, and today your ruler Venus comes to a standstill before turning direct. Matters of the heart, comfort and creativity that felt stuck since early October begin, gently, to move again. Treat yourself to something beautiful and simple: good food, music, a walk at dawn. Your patience over these weeks is about to be rewarded.
Gemini (June 21 – July 20)
Your ruler Mercury stations direct this afternoon, and you may feel the fog lifting from plans, messages and travel. The Moon in Sagittarius, the constellation opposite your own, brings partners and friends into focus, so conversations flow better when you listen as much as you speak. A delayed reply or a postponed meeting could finally fall into place before the weekend.
Cancer (July 21 – August 10)
The Moon, your guiding light, is a slender crescent growing a little brighter each evening in Sagittarius. It reminds you that steady care builds lasting results. Next door in Leo, Mars and Jupiter are lining up, lending you extra confidence in practical matters. Say yes to a small invitation today; a friendly word or a shared meal can open a door you did not expect.
Leo (August 11 – September 16)
Two bright planets share your constellation: Mars and Jupiter, now about 1.6° apart and heading for Monday's conjunction. You can see them high in the south before dawn. This is a generous, energetic moment for you, and others notice your warmth and leadership. Offer encouragement freely and accept praise gracefully. A bold idea finds supporters today.
Virgo (September 17 – October 30)
All eyes are on your constellation. Mercury and Venus both pause and turn direct within Virgo, and Venus sits right beside Spica, your brightest star. Weeks of review and second thoughts now give way to forward motion. Relationships soften, decisions become clearer, and your famous eye for detail finds the perfect finishing touch. Look east-southeast before sunrise and greet your planets.
Libra (October 31 – November 22)
The Sun shines in your constellation for the last days before it moves on to Scorpio on November 23. Your traditional ruler Venus turns direct tonight, and the balance you have been searching for feels easier to hold. Use this birthday season to reconnect with people who matter, settle an old misunderstanding, and celebrate how far you have come this year.
Scorpio (November 23 – November 29)
The Sun is now about ten days from entering your short but intense constellation, and you can already feel the season turning toward you. Mercury's change of direction helps you finish what you started. Mars, your traditional ruler, is gaining strength alongside Jupiter in Leo, giving you the drive to act on insights you have quietly gathered. Trust your instincts today.
Ophiuchus (November 30 – December 17)
The Moon passed through your constellation only yesterday, leaving behind a feeling of renewal, and the Sun will arrive on November 30. Today the healer's sign benefits from Mercury turning direct: research, studies and conversations about well-being move forward smoothly. Share your knowledge generously; someone needs exactly the advice you can give.
Sagittarius (December 18 – January 19)
The waxing crescent Moon travels through your constellation all day, lifting your spirits and widening your horizons. Your ruler Jupiter, shining in Leo beside Mars, adds optimism and a taste for adventure. It is a good day to plan a journey, sign up for a course, or simply share your big-hearted humour with the people around you.
Capricorn (January 20 – February 15)
Distant Pluto is moving through your constellation, while the Moon approaches from Sagittarius and will cross into Capricorn on Sunday around midday (Greek time). Use the calm before that lunar visit to organise your priorities. With Mercury turning direct, delayed paperwork or plans start moving again. Your steady, practical approach earns respect and opens a useful door.
Aquarius (February 16 – March 11)
Your modern ruler Uranus is retrograde in Taurus, encouraging you to rethink your foundations, and Saturn, your traditional ruler, is retrograde in Pisces, the next constellation. Friday's planetary turning point shows you that slowing down is not standing still. An unexpected conversation sparks an original idea; give it room to grow over the weekend.
