Aries
With key planets lighting a fire under your ambitions, you’re charging up that career ladder like a boss. But with Jupiter pulling from the opposite direction, home, comfort and those warm, fuzzy feelings are also calling your name. It’s a celestial tug-of-war between your loftiest goals and the people or spaces that fulfil your needs. Don’t bulldoze your way to the top if it means neglecting yourself and those close to you.

Taurus
Your gaze is set on the horizon with a thirst for big adventures and bold opportunities. But with Jupiter lighting up your local zone, don’t overlook the gems right under your nose. That dream job, inspiring connection or game-changing project might be closer than you think and perhaps even just down the road. While your heart may crave far-flung horizons, the universe encourages you to explore nearby first.

Gemini
With Venus, the Sun and Mars firing up your sector of shared resources, you may be all-in on collaborations, joint ventures or merging efforts to get ahead. But as this trio opposes lucky Jupiter in your personal money zone, you’ll realise your talents are golden. Don’t downplay your unique qualities in favour of the group agenda. Your skills, ideas and clever turns of phrase are worth investing in too.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
You’re the generous heart of every gathering, offering time, energy and endless support. But you’re also being gently reminded not to pour from an empty cup. It’s lovely to be there for everyone, but how about showing up for yourself too? Indulge in a little self-care, self-praise and a moment to bask in your own glow. You’re not just a nurturer Cancer you deserve nurturing too.

Leo
With Venus, the Sun and Mars powering through your productivity zone, you’re a goal-chasing machine and you’re driven, diligent and determined to tick every task off your list. But with knowledge seeker Jupiter pulling from the shadows of your chart, there’s a quiet call for rest, reflection and maybe even a little retreat. Don’t ignore it. Even the most dazzling stars need to schedule in some soul time.

Virgo
You’re in your element, focused, flourishing and finding joy in doing your own thing. Whether you’re perfecting a hobby, chasing a dream or loving your own company, it’s a fab time for personal fulfilment. But the planets also remind you not to forgo your connections. A quick call, coffee or catch-up could lead to inspiration or even opportunity. Shine solo, but don’t disappear completely.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You may be pouring energy into nesting, hosting or ambitious plans involving your family or living space. It’s warm, rewarding and even inspiring. Yet it’s important not to hide your light under a bushel. You have talents that are needed, so don’t let domestic duties eclipse your dreams. Balance is your superpower, so use it to juggle both realms. Shine at home but let your brilliance spill into the world too.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
You may be keen to strike that deal, win the argument or seal an agreement. You’ve got a plan and stamina, but you’re also being urged to widen your emotional lens, as a softer touch could serve you even better. Empathy and a genuine willingness to understand another’s viewpoint could unlock doors that determination alone won’t budge. Big wins come from big-picture thinking, so play the long game.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
On a mission to get top value for every penny? Hunting for bargains? If so, you’ll feel unbeatable. Yet with expansive Jupiter tugging at your emotional strings, you might realise that true richness isn’t always found in retail therapy. Sometimes it’s a heartfelt chat, a shared meal or the joy of doing something meaningful that fills your soul more than any discount ever could.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 20
With Venus, the Sun and Mars all powering through your sign, you are showing what a force of nature you can be. You’re ambitious, motivated and ready to launch your plans with military precision. Your goals are in focus and your energy’s peaking, but as bountiful Jupiter reminds you, relationships are the real foundation of lasting success. While you’re scaling mountains, take a moment to check who’s climbing beside you or needs a hand up.

Aquarius
January 21 to February 19
You may be keen to overcome old patterns, polish away perceived flaws and become your most capable, competent self. But you don’t need to be perfect to make a powerful impact. Being kind, emotionally present and authentically you can be just as magnetic and far more sustainable. Self-improvement is great, but self-acceptance is the golden marker. Show up as you are and you’ll shine without even trying.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
You’re on a mission to network, connect and climb that ladder, social or otherwise. You’ve got your sights set on people who inspire, influence or can spring open doors. But joy isn’t just found in strategic alliances. Don’t forget what lights you up from the inside out. Whether it’s painting, dancing, gardening or gaming, doing what you love is its own kind of magic and it might just attract the right people effortlessly.
