Horoscopes

The best way to lead is with an open heart. Your ruler, red-hot Mars, is entering your sensitive 4th house, amplifying your emotions and your need for stability and security. This can make you feel somewhat pressurized as Mars exerts itself within one of the more delicate sectors of your chart. Thankfully, if you allow this to occur, rather than trying to fight it, you can make a lot of progress. This progress will likely be more internal, but you should feel worlds better.

This is no time to rest, Taurus. Action planet Mars is entering your buzzy 3rd house for the first time in two years, so you're going to have to pick up the pace if you want to keep up with your own popularity. It's easy to overbook yourself during this cycle, which means that keeping a calendar of some kind will be more helpful than usual, perhaps even necessary. If you don't drop the ball, you can probably score quite a few points.

Your finances are heating up. Your 2nd House of Income is glowing with power as can-do Mars parades into this financially focused sector, creating windows of opportunity for you to earn more money -- but simultaneously showing off many ways to spend it. That's all well and good, but Mars can also hike your usual expenses while it's here. Do your best to keep yourself on some sort of budget, or you might wind up blowing all your hard-earned money far too quickly.

Rev your engines and get ready to blast off from the starting line! You're the special recipient of a mega dose of firepower as Mars arrives in your sign, giving you a special boost that you haven't felt in roughly two years. You'll have more energy at your disposal -- and it'll need to be used well. Otherwise, you could wind up overwhelmed by all this fire. Avoid letting it build up, because without proper release, you may just blow your top.

The best way to reach your preferred destination is by taking your hands off the steering wheel. The cosmos is hyping up the idea of kicking back and going with the flow as Mars enters your 12th House of Release. Sometimes you need to do nothing before you can be active. If things seem irritatingly slow right now, try to look at this as a blessed opportunity to clear out any old and outdated ways of being. Allow yourself to be directionless.

You can handle just about anything on your own, but that doesn't mean you must always do so. Right now, much more can be accomplished by working together as make-it-happen Mars energizes your 11th House of Global Communities. Connections with others, near and far, are empowered. Old friends can provide you with new opportunities, but be willing to make fresh connections as well. The planets are supporting your efforts to see how far your network can grow when you make an effort.

No more taking it easy. It's time to get serious as Mars advances into your 10th House of Livelihood, encouraging you to chase your goals and do whatever you can to obtain them. This is going to be an especially active phase, as more opportunities arise for you to show your worth. Get your elevator pitch ready to go, since it'll probably come in handy! A project you've been working on behind the scenes may also be ready for its stunning debut.

Life is meant to be an adventure -- that's truer now than ever. This expansive energy is thanks to Mars winging its way into your curious 9th house, stirring up your desire to explore mysterious territory and discover what's waiting for you out in the great wide world. This is a terrific time to travel, but if you can't get away for one reason or another, then there's nothing wrong with being an armchair explorer or making plans for future vacations.

Pressure creates diamonds. It's good to remember this as Mars moves into your 8th House of Transformation, which is one of the most intense parts of your chart, but also incredibly rewarding. You may feel like you have to put in more work in order to deal with the heavier aspects of life while the red planet visits this sector, but the challenges you encounter at this time are actually opportunities for growth. Change isn't simple, but the rewards should be worth it.

Doubling up doubles your luck. There's rarely been a better time to partner up as Mars enters your 7th House of Associations, giving your most important connections an extra dose of fire for the foreseeable future. This can heat up romantic connections, but it's equally impactful for professional and platonic bonds. Regardless of context, this exciting influence also risks sparking stress or inequality if you aren't careful. Make sure both people are pulling their weight, no matter the nature of the partnership.

Time to break a sweat! Action planet Mars is jogging into your 6th House of Wellness, making this the perfect moment to jump on the healthy-living bandwagon. Whether you're already regularly going to the gym or haven't had a proper workout in ages, this energy can get your body moving more than ever before. The results should be incredibly rewarding! Even so, don't push yourself too hard, which Mars can entice you to do. If you burn out, you won't be able to make progress.

There's no holding you back now, Pisces! You're entering a cycle of positivity and excitement as Mars takes command of your fun-loving 5th house for the first time in two years, allowing you to make pleasure your number one priority. This can mean pursuing your heart in romantic directions, but it centers around your self-expression. Maybe you're picking up an unfamiliar pursuit or delving into a favorite creative hobby. Either way, your creative juices are flowing. Don't ignore your turn to show off.
