Energy

The climate

The Sun in sextile lights up your allies and exchanges: opportunities come through others.

Love and relationships

Nothing to force on the heart front: Venus gives you room. Tend to the bond you have, without expecting a plot twist.

Work and money

A day of mix-ups: Mercury in square blurs the lines. Say things twice rather than once. Fluid communication: a casual exchange can lead to a real opportunity. Mars in square: irritation and haste are lurking. Slow down a notch and you will avoid the mistake or the clash. Jupiter at home in your sign: a period of expansion. Think bigger, but keep one foot on the ground. Saturn in square: an obstacle or an obligation slows you down. Do not fight it, get organized: it is an endurance test, not a refusal.

Energy and body

High energy: your body follows your desires. This is the moment for a workout, a long walk or a big clear-out.

The advice

Everything carries you: dare to make the request, the call or the project close to your heart.

Frequently asked questions

Is this monthly horoscope the same every year?

No: it is computed from the planetary positions of this precise month (sign ingresses, new and full moon, retrogrades), dated to the minute.

What does “solar house” mean?

Your sign is placed in house 1 and we count from there: a planet in the next sign is in your solar house 2, and so on. It is the method of sign horoscopes; with your rising sign, the real houses are even more precise.
