2. Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
When the Mars squares Neptune in Pisces, the grounded bull may feel a sudden wave of peer pressure from colleagues and acquaintances.

3. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Your week could get off to a rocky start as Mars moves square to Neptune, bringing out potential enemies you never imagined you had. Be careful who you extend the proverbial olive branch to, Gemini, as this may be the cosmic “cleaning house” you’ve needed in both your personal and professional life.
4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You are dreaming of big adventures and limitless horizons these days, Cancer, and you’re determined not to let anyone stand in your way. However, when forceful Mars forms a sextile with solitary Neptune on Tuesday you may find yourself in need of a helping hand or supportive voice. It’s ok to reach out to a trusted friend, as it will only smooth the path ahead!
5. Leo (July 23 – August 22)
As your ruling Sun forms a sextile to Neptune while it squares off against Mars, all those changes you’ve been making in your life could finally reach a long-awaited positive outcome. You’ve worked hard to correct your faults, Leo, and humbled yourself in ways that are never easy for the proud lion. Prepare to feel Neptune’s mysterious but no less awe-inspiring rewards this week.
6. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
A newfound surge of creativity and purpose could bump up against the weight of an existing problem, leaving you feeling drained and confused. You’re not alone, as all of the astrological signs are grappling with past mistakes and how to right them once and for all. Make time for positive change, Virgo, as this could bring new solutions to old dilemmas.
7. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
You are brimming with passion and ideas going into the new year, but a lack of motivation could be slowing you down. As powerhouse Mars goes square to reflective Neptune, you may have to choose between your social life and decidedly less glamorous–but infinitely more rewarding–personal goals.
8. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
If you overindulged over the holidays there’s still time to get back on track and recoup your losses. As watery Neptune stirs up past memories and brings new revelations to the surface, you may feel compelled to reach out to estranged friends and family and reforge connections. Just tread respectfully, Scorpio, as not everyone may be ready to accept your peace offering.
9. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Family expectations may clash with your own independent desires when Mars in your sign squares Neptune this week. You have always been a trailblazer, Sag, so don’t take it too much to heart when the world simply doesn’t understand where you’re coming from. Make space for others to pursue their dreams and request that they afford you the same.
10. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You may have to turn up the charm to get what you want this week, Capricorn, so choose your words wisely and apply them smoothly. With Mars squaring Neptune this week, a potential clash between what you feel pressured to achieve and what you really want could momentarily knock you off your course. Use the down time to reset your compass.
11. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Makes sure not to upset too many apple carts while Mars squares off against Neptune, Aquarius. Even on a good day you have a hard time feeling understood by your peers, but people will be inclined to purposely misconstrue your intentions this week. Stay out of unnecessary debates and confrontations, as any insult dealt–however unintentional–may have lasting consequences.
12. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
With Neptune in your sign you have all the support you need this week, Pisces. Dip into that vast pool of otherworldly intuition and apply it in real-time while you set your intentions. Certain figures from your past could momentarily reemerge to test the waters and see where you stand; you have the power to reforge a miraculous connection or banish them for good.
