No way to put this lightly: we’re in for an intense week. An aspect I’ve been telling you about for weeks now finally goes exact on the 15th when Mars conjoins changemaker Uranus. This is an explosive energy that brings an urge to break out of our comfort zone and push past limits. The sun then connects with Uranus on the 16th helping us to integrate these sudden shifts into the larger goals.

On the 20th, Mars connects with dreamy Neptune putting our focus on sensuality and romance. Then later on the 20th, Mars leaves steady Taurus for flexible Gemini which brings a flirty tension and gossipy chaos that will build through mid-August. 

This all goes down as the moon is waxing to peak fullness. I’ll get into the full moon in Capricorn (exact on the 21st) in next week’s horoscopes. But know that everything that happens this week is building to that culmination.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

You’re in for an intense week, Aries. Your ruling planet Mars conjoins wildcard Uranus on the 15th in your money zone.

Things are getting heated in your close circle and you might have to play mediator over the next few weeks.

You’ve been in your freedom era for months if not years now, and this week you reach another level of not giving a damn. Action planet Mars meets up with rebel Uranus in your sign on the 15th pushing you to express yourself. If you’ve found it difficult to get on the same page with a family member around the big changes you’ve made in your life over the past few years, you find some common ground on the 16th as the Sun connects with Uranus.

The only thing to do at this point is surrender. Then on the 20th, Mars moves into your sign putting your focus on self improvement over the next few weeks.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

You’ve been making many small but impactful changes in your career and public image over the last few years. No matter how subtle the shifts have been, what you’re doing now is probably unrecognizable from what you were doing back in 2018. As Mars meets up with radical Uranus in your career sector on the 15th you take another small step out of your comfort zone. This time it’s about asserting yourself and making your efforts known.

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

This week’s intensity for you is centered around desires to break out of your usual mundane routines. If you’re feeling held back by responsibilities to others, the conjunction of action planet Mars and disruptive Uranus on the 15th pushes you to take a leap and go on your own adventure. It’s wonderful to be the person who everyone relies on, but what if you gifted yourself a little bit of mystery?

This week’s mantra: “Wonder.”

Libra (September 23 - October 21)

This is a week of major breakthroughs for both your money and relationships, Libra. Here’s the thing though: in order to take that quantum leap, you have to be willing to get vulnerable. Mars meets up with changemaker Uranus on the 15th in the part of your chart that deals with power dynamics encouraging you to rip off the bandaid and face a big fear. What’s sparked here is going to inspire your next great travel or education opportunity.

This week’s mantra: “Leap.”

This week is overwhelming but possibly life-changing, Scorpio. Your ruling planet Mars conjoins wildcard Uranus on the 15th in your partnership sector. A breaking point that’s been approaching for weeks (if not years) is finally here. This aspect could bring unexpected conflicts or radical shifts in your closest relationships. Mars then moves into Gemini and your shared resources zone on the 20th encouraging you to settle debts, challenge power dynamics and have that hard conversation.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Life is surging at a radical pace for many this week, and for you, this is playing out mostly in your mundane routines. As action planet Mars meets up with rebellious Uranus in your daily grind sector on the 15th, you may have a sudden urge to quit your job, run a 10k, adopt a puppy or all of the above. Mars then moves into Gemini on the 20th, a transit that may bring tension to close relationships over the coming weeks. Remember: it’s OK to walk away.

This week brings a creative breakthrough and momentum toward a big dream you have around growing family and community. Mars conjoins Uranus in your pleasure sector on the 15th, an aspect that brings a literal or figurative “unexpected pregnancy.” It can be terrifying to finally get what you want, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it. Then on the 20th, Mars moves into your daily grind sector and you get the energy boost you need to get to work on the next goal.

This week’s mantra: “Sprint.”

This week brings a major lightning strike in your home sector as action planet Mars meets up with electric Uranus on the 15th. You’ve faced constant shake ups in your private life for several years now and this one is (literally or figuratively) groundbreaking. Though the foundation has cracked that doesn’t mean you can’t glue it back together with gold. Then on the 20th, Mars enters your romance and creativity sector, a transit that encourages being bold with your heart and your art.

This week’s mantra: “Begin.”
