Aries: Smooth sailing this week as Mercury leaves its post retrograde shadow period. It can be refreshingly uneventful as the energy neutralizes any tension or drama. You are not trying to make a splash or be in the spotlight this week. You keep it simple yet direct. Venus in harmony with your sign boosts creativity. Your alone time is full of innovative deep thinking. You aren’t shy, you are just keeping things low key for now, especially in regards to romance.

Taurus: This time of year moves at a slower pace for you, Taurus. You are interested in gathering your strength, introspecting, and investing your time and energy in things that bring you security and comfort. You are building something for yourself. Venus’ influence means you are seeking to improve relationships and be a stabilizing force for those close to you. Practicality and reasonability rule. Opportunities arise through your reputation.

Gemini: With Mercury clear of it’s shadow period your deck is finally free of wild cards. This week things move at a slower pace and you can pay more attention to the fine details in life. Venus’ influence on your chart means teamwork and group activity bring the best results. The moon wanes in your sign on the 6th and 7th and the energy is sleepy and peaceful.

Cancer: Your energy is magnetic, and you seem to be attracting attention, opportunity and money this week. Your solar season is about treating yourself to some rest and relaxation.
