Aries (March 21–April 19)

Get plenty of fun and play before Friday because the incoming solar season says back to business. It’s time to knuckle down on those wellness routines, especially if you’ve been pedal to the metal or overdoing the fun, work, or however else you prefer to burn out. It’s Virgo season here, saying your least favourite word, moderation. Stay with me on this, think of it as a much-needed chance to embed simple self-care routines into your day. From waking to working, to winding down, most of us could make small adjustments that add up to great benefits over time. Utilise the new moon period over the weekend to release a habit that doesn’t serve you and plan a more efficient routine that does.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

With a new moon hot on the heels of this week’s sun sign shift, it’s all in on themes of simplicity and perfection in your sphere of leisure, dating, and creative self-expression. Like you, Virgo is an earth sign, so get back to nature, find the fun in light fitness, and stick to the adage ‘let food be thy medicine’. Create your own healthy staples depending on what your body needs to shore it up. This is a busy month with a focus on getting things done, whether that’s researching and booking just the right dates with your bae, or taking the time to get to know promising prospects. Yes, enjoying life’s simple pleasures all for yourself or with family counts too. If you have children, this is a wonderful time to teach them interesting and technical insights on a topic that lights them up. Just make sure to ground it in practical application.

Gemini (May 21–June 21)

Virgo season shines its solar light in your sphere of family and domestic life. You’re challenged to get things in order and focus on practical details; you might as well slow down and set to task. Clear out clutter for a fresh feeling, give the place a fresh coat of paint, or otherwise lift the vibe through streamlining. Could you add efficiency to the running of your home? It could be as simple as planning meals and shopping less. Delegate tasks and chores so everyone feels involved. Lists go a long way under this sign, so put the schedule up on the fridge so everyone’s on the same page. A new moon in this sector on Sunday reinforces efforts made over the weekend, so double down on your intentions. What you want to be clear of, visualise sweeping it out, flushing it, vacuuming or bagging it, and letting it go before inviting in what you do want.

Cancer (June 22–July 22)

Go on discovery tours of your local area and get to the nitty-gritty of what’s actually happening around town. What have you been overlooking, or who have you overlooked in your habitual routines getting from A to B? We tend to miss most of the detail around us, especially when we’re in familiar environments, so make like a tourist and take a fresh approach. A new moon in this sphere on Sunday is the perfect time to call in your favourites for a manifesting ritual you can share. Set your intentions around practical outcomes, letting go of time-wasting activities like doom scrolling, and picking a positive new habit. Remember it takes 21 days to establish, so get started and you’ll have it nailed by the end of Virgo season. Tie up loose ends on tasks and aim for efficiency. If a change in plans presents itself, that’s ok, look for the benefits thanks to the switcheroo.

Leo (July 23–August 22)

Enjoy the final leg of Leo season, and remember this is your personal new year. Visualise your plan for your next revolution around the sun. Where do you want to be, how does it look, what are you feeling and experiencing this time next year? Double down on the manifesting as Virgo season begins on Saturday with a new moon on Sunday. It’s time to get down to business, as it activates your sphere of money and resources. If you were a little excessive on the birthday lux, channel Virgo’s prudent side to balance your books and budget. Streamline by cutting out extra drains on your resources, eg, too many subscriptions. Set your intentions along with a simple ritual for your financial health, what you’re calling in or setting up, and back it up with a commitment to follow through. Often, the key is to embrace the challenges ahead of time so they don’t create internal resistance.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Happy birthday, Virgo! Your season begins on Friday, just in time to call friends and family over the weekend to get the party started. As the sun lights up your sign, let it fuel your sense of self for an esteem and confidence boost. Ok, so you’re practical and prefer getting on with things rather than wasting time basking in glory. In which case, remember we love to celebrate you, so if you need a reason, that’s it. With not one but two new moons in your sign, you get a double helping of manifesting mojo. Make Saturdays your optimal ritual lunation because the bookend new moon features an eclipse, which is best for release and hard resets. With charming Venus activating your friendship zone, love and joy are felt through close emotional connections, and getting amongst it. Catch up on chores so you can take extra time to enjoy your solar season, recharge your batteries, and show up for life.

Libra (September 23–October 23)

Mingle over the last days of fun-loving Leo season as it lights up your social sphere. On Friday, note a vibe change as the sun shifts into Virgo season. A much more introverted and practical sign, this season is perfect for catching up on R&R since it activates your zone of sleep, dreams, and liminal spaces. As an earth sign, it relates to the material world and physical health, which is even more reason to get that rest and digest the past several months. Since your birthday season is next, this is a letting-go phase, ready for a new solar cycle. Go within, feel your body, and listen to your gut intelligence. Take a practical approach to tuning into your mystic side, whether through nature, ritual, or writing. Sunday’s new moon resets on these topics, so make the most of the quiet time of low luna light to release, then make fresh intentions you’re willing to commit to over the next year.

Scorpio (October 24–November 21)

Virgo season is upon us, which is great news for you, Scorpio. Channel this earthy, practical, and service-oriented sign to help contain, structure, organise, and plan. Activating your sphere of friendships, peers, and extended networks, why not see where you can be of service within a special interest group or organise excursions with your squad? The very next day, a new moon makes it the ultimate moment to plan the month and beyond by setting intentions. Write up to ten, then enact a simple ritual to ground the intentions into the present moment. What kind of social experiences are you looking for or ready to create and curate? Take a class, volunteer, or find people with a niche common interest. Surprises accompany this new moon, so just move with changes and find the opportunity embedded within them.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Your career sector is highlighted under the incoming solar season as Virgo takes the helm on Saturday. On Sunday, a new moon reinforces themes of service, precision, and practical application. If this doesn’t sound a lot like you, that’s becauseVirgo sits at a challenging angle to your sign and therefore has the most to teach you. You’ll benefit from patience and taking things one step at a time. Preparation is next to godliness, so less winging it and more structured ten-page, bullet-pointed plan. Stay humble, Sagittarius. Feel like bragging? This isn’t the month. Let your work speak for you. Although it’s always important to let others know what you’re doing and what you’ve done. Helping others through your profession will come back to you later. This sphere has eclipses incoming, so be ready to reset later in the season.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Time to clear the decks and get back to the practical details of life after Leo season wraps on Saturday. Virgo season is about getting things in order, sifting through and editing out, keeping what’s useful, and swiftly bagging and binning the rest. Not particularly sentimental, like you, it’s an earth sign, so you see eye to eye, grounding ideas, and are less impressed with others’ lack of action. In your sphere of travel, study, and expanding horizons, a new moon on Sunday emphasises the Virgo themes. Not one to be caught out without a five-year plan, how might you bring your ideas into an intention-setting ritual to put cosmic power into them? This method taps into your subconscious, steering you toward choices and decisions that make a difference.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

As the sun moves out of your opposite sign on Saturday, reflect on partnerships of all kinds, from people opposing you to teaming up, from bae to bestie. Who did that light shine on over the last month? Did you feel seen? Virgo season moves the needle on to activate your sphere of benefits through others, intimacy, and mysteries. Contacts through others are important over this period, so don’t try to go it alone or reject offers before following up. Since the light is shining on your deeper connections, it also reveals a few taboo topics others prefer to keep hidden and secrets you may not usually be privy to. This is an opportunity for a deep and meaningful bond if the trust is there. Sunday’s new moon is best for manifesting, so consider what you want to experience in your intimate life. Write up your intentions and include a few around health, wellness, and shared routine.

Pisces (February 19–March 20)

As live-out-loud Leo season draws to a close this week, the sun lights up your opposite sign, Virgo, from Saturday. Spotlighting all things one-to-one partnerships, collabs, and contracts, who is across from you, looking back? That’s the reality. However, Virgo is the improver of the zodiac, so let’s take things from the here and now and tweak to perfection. Sunday’s new moon is your opportunity to assess and redress. Let go of what isn’t serving you in partnership. That could be a limiting belief or behaviour. It could be seeing less or more of someone in particular, or in a different way or circumstance. Call in what you want, how you want it, and where you see it heading. Create a meaningful ritual to ground your vision and focus on the feelings you ideally want to experience or amplify.
