The week ahead holds some powerful shifts!
We’re fresh from last week’s lunar eclipse, and now the cosmos lines up another dramatic moment with a solar eclipse in Virgo. Add in Mercury and Venus changing signs one right after the other, and you have a week where the Universe asks you to pay attention to both your heart and your mind. Expect moments of clarity, but also moments that test your patience.
This is not a week to coast along. It is a week to notice the details and honor the changes as they come. Read on to learn how to make the most of this week’s energy!
The energy opens with Venus and Mars working together in harmony, giving you a spark of passion and creativity to start the week. This is a wonderful time to pour energy into a relationship or a creative outlet that lights you up.

As the week flows, the Cancer Moon encourages comfort and care, reminding you to slow down and tend to what makes you feel safe. When the Moon enters Leo, joy and self-expression take center stage. Yet Mercury’s opposition to Saturn on Wednesday may add some weight. If you feel blocked or limited, don’t fight it. Instead, ask yourself what lesson the challenge is pointing toward. Obstacles now may be preparing you for something greater.
By Thursday, Mercury enters Libra, bringing balance back to conversations. Collaboration and compromise can help you see perspectives you may have overlooked. Then, by Friday, Venus follows suit by entering Virgo, shifting focus to the work you love and the details that matter most. This is about loving the process, not just the outcome.

Saturday may test your patience with Venus squaring Uranus. Others may act unpredictably, or you might feel restless yourself. Don’t take things too personally; instead, allow flexibility to guide your response.
On Sunday, the solar eclipse in Virgo arrives, bringing the week to a powerful close. This is a call to begin again with purpose, to focus on the projects, routines, and habits that will serve your well-being in the months ahead. You may also feel the pull to clear away what no longer supports your health or peace.
The week asks you to balance care with discipline, creativity with practicality, and endings with beginnings. If you stay present and open, you’ll see that every shift is pointing you closer to your true path.
