As Mercury is retrograde still, what lies in store for you this week? What should you look out for? Is there anything to be excited about or wary of? Tatler’s astrologer De Rui gives us a look ahead
A new take on an old problem is available if we allow enough quiet and reflective time. With retrograde Mercury in good contact with Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs, we may be able to look at a situation with fresh eyes and see things in a completely different light. Combined with Mars moving direct on Friday, epiphanies can be combined with decisive action if necessary.
The dance between hard and soft is perfected this week with Venus and Mars moving in harmony. We can show sweetness and graciousness while being strong about what we want. Our personal desires—for objects, people, or ideas—may grow in passion. As the marriage asteroid Juno moves into Fire sign Aries on Friday, long-term love relationships can be positively impacted.
Old wounds come up for healing with asteroid Chiron making contact with both Mercury and Venus. Words or messages may sting or potentially cause hurt feelings. Take care not to beat yourself up. Events toward the end of the week will reinforce our self-esteem and sense of worth.

The Week by Rising Sign
Aries
Inspiration regarding work and finances strikes, and something that causes offence at the office may seem less bad after talking about it with friends. Sparks fly while networking or meeting friends of friends.
Taurus
Passions could ignite in a work or business setting. Meanwhile, strongly held beliefs could be a source of irritation. An aspect of your identity or belief system is due for an update.
Gemini
Channelling optimism and confidence is a piece of cake. Harsh words from your peers can be offset by having faith in yourself. A secret may be revealed after some digging.
Cancer
You may start to feel differently about the company you keep; a partner sows doubt about your achievements. An illicit entanglement becomes a source of excitement.
Leo
Friends show you their support when it comes to matters of the heart, and a health issue might dent your confidence. Changing up an element of your daily routine makes a big difference.
Virgo
A child or business can cause anxiety about resources, and risk-taking could prove rewarding. You can succeed at optimising daily habits so that they support your goals.
Libra
Dynamics at home can get a bit tense. Emotional breakthroughs are possible if you give yourself some space. Creative projects can be inspired by deeply held beliefs.
Scorpio
Deep feelings are channelled into physical connections, and planning or organising brings you closer to a partner. A peer casts doubt on how you live your life, but you aren’t likely to change course.
Sagittarius
A creative venture can cause worries about income. You may have some ideas about how to boost productivity, and bantering with a partner proves rewarding.
Capricorn
Revealing your affections opens the door to romance. However, a thoughtless comment may cause trouble with siblings or neighbours. Meanwhile, speaking candidly leads to reconciliation with the past.
Aquarius
You can be very persuasive when stating deep emotional needs, and facts you were missing may mysteriously descend from higher planes. Beware of careless spending.
Pisces
A short-distance trip can be inspiring and spiritually nourishing. Friends’ words may wound your vanity momentarily, but efforts you make for the community can enhance your self-esteem.
