After three weeks of dealing with miscommunications, technology issues, and short fuses, Mercury's retrograde in Aries finally comes to an end. Tensions have been high for most of the month of April, thanks to the eclipses and retrograde overlapping with one another. But with this retrograde ending, we can use the pioneering energy of Aries toward decisive action and progress. The areas of life that have felt stagnant and stuck for the last few weeks will quickly start to regain momentum.

On April 29, the stars will start to slip into a more sensual mood when Venus enters Taurus, the sign of its rulership. Venus is the planet of love and romance, but it also governs manifestations and finances. Over the next few weeks, Venus's journey through the sign of the Bull will give us a chance to build some stable foundations in our relationships and pocketbooks. Venus in Taurus also offers the opportunity to slow down and luxuriate in your leisure time, so be sure to pick a few days for self-care and socializing over the next month as a reward for surviving all the chaos of April.

Mars enters Aries on April 30, and our motivation to get things accomplished will finally have some focus and drive behind it. Mars is in the sign of its rulership in Aries, and this transit rewards independent free thinkers who aren’t afraid to try something new. Mercury retrograde through Aries had everyone rethinking where their dedication and focus were, as well as considering where they might assert their own freedom more directly. Now, with Mars at home in Aries, you have an opportunity to gain a lot of ground in whatever areas of life you deem most important over the next few weeks.

Aries, there’s a lot of good momentum for you in the stars this week, but it still could take you a few days to get back up to speed. Mercury retrograde in your sign might have stirred up some feelings of self-doubt lately, but luckily Mars enters Aries this week, giving you a quick shot of adrenaline and vitality. It’s a good idea to do something that makes you feel good about yourself this week. Whether it’s jumping back into an old workout routine or refreshing your look to boost confidence, now's the time to remind yourself that you still have a lot to bring to the table.

Taurus Weekly Horoscope

Taurus, with Venus moving into your sign this week, you become a magnet attracting attention and new opportunities. Not only will you feel more self-assured and charming, but other people are also picking up on your energy as well. With a new moon in Taurus next week, it will be a prime opportunity for manifesting. You’d be wise to sit down this week and create a vision board outlining your desires for the next month. Choose one or two goals that you’d like to make significant progress on and develop a plan to execute your manifestations next week.

Gemini Weekly Horoscope

Gemini, you’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching for the last couple of weeks and rethinking your position among your friend groups and social networks. Now that Mercury retrograde is over, you have your answers and it’s time to take some action. Don’t fight with the ghosts of your past. Instead, use the energy of Mars in Aries and Venus in Taurus to solidify this new worldview and branch out to meet new people. The next few weeks are a good time for you to make connections and settle into a new way of thinking.

Particularly in the professional sphere, you have an opportunity to differentiate yourself and stand out by rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty.

Virgo Weekly Horoscope

Virgo, you’ve done a lot of work to get yourself out of a place that felt stifling and controlling, and Mercury retrograde might have put you back in that mindset more than you would have liked. Just remember that the new version of you can never go back to the place you fear; you’ve experienced too much growth.

Libra Weekly Horoscope

Libra, you’ve been reconsidering your intimate bonds with other people, and most importantly, you’ve been thinking about how your own fear of rejection is keeping you from moving to the next level with someone you care about. Mars in Aries is urging you to strip away the pretense and put your passions at the forefront. This may require exploring some of your internal fears about abandonment or rejection and expressing them with a partner, or working through those feelings on your own to heal past wounds. Don’t be afraid to have the tough conversations.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

Scorpio, big changes are coming to your life this week, particularly with your routines and relationships. Mercury retrograde had you running yourself ragged trying to balance all of your responsibilities; now is a good time to shift your priorities to what really matters to you. Venus in Taurus is giving you a chance to pour some attention back into your needs, making this week a good time to review your current health habits and rituals and make some adjustments to help you feel your best, look your best, and perform your best.

Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

Sagittarius, you’re getting a spark of inspiration in your creative sphere this week, but it can’t live in your dreams forever; you have to get out there and do the work. Mercury retrograde clouded your inspiration for a bit and might have left you lacking energy and motivation, but with Mars in Aries magnifying your sphere of joy, sensuality, and pleasure, you can create a pocket of sunshine in your normally dull routine this week with a little attention and effort. Do something nice for yourself!

Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

Capricorn, part of bringing a sense of peace and stability to your home is reminding yourself that you have the authority to set boundaries with loved ones. Mercury retrograde in Aries might've brought up a few petty disagreements between the people closest to you. Luckily, with Mars in Aries, you have a chance to set some firm ground rules to prevent another situation like this from happening. Remember, you can love your family and not need them to agree with the decisions you’re making.

Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

Aquarius, Mercury retrograde gave you a new perspective on the community you live in and the people around you. Over the last few weeks, you felt a pull toward getting more involved and getting to know people on a more personal level. With Venus in Taurus moving into the sign of its rulership alongside Mars in Aries, this is a good time to plant the seeds of new bonds and relationships. Step outside your comfort zone and introduce yourself to people; the best friendships are made by striking up a conversation.

Pisces Weekly Horoscope

Pisces, you’ve been rethinking your financial situation and your approach to savings. But Mercury retrograde might have thrown you a few bills you were not expecting to have to pay. Now, with Mars in Aries and Venus in Taurus settling into their respective signs, you can generate a lot of success and money for yourself by embracing the entrepreneurial spirit. This could be a good time to refresh your résumé, apply to jobs, or even pick up a side hustle for a few extra bucks to pad your savings account.
