There’s an awful lot going on in the heavens as we head into the weekend and the new week: which could mean big things or major shifts when it comes to your finances!
We’re going to take a look at exactly what Mercury’s current position hanging out in Leo, the alignment of Mercury with the Sun on the 18th, and the Aquarius Full Moon on the 19th means for your money.
Aries: Amping up the Energy
Aries, you’ve been making leaps and bounds in your professional life recently, which has been great news for your bank balance. Energy levels will remain high through next week, and with Mercury in Leo, you’ll find yourself overcoming barriers that could have stood in your way to a promotion or otherwise moving on up.
With Virgo season beginning on the 22nd, you’ll likely feel driven to get on top of your money and update your budget. This is a great idea, allowing you to take stock of where savings could be made and your money made to work harder for you.
Taurus: Tread with Care
If financial challenges crop up next week, Taurus, be assured that you have everything you need to get things sorted: there’s no need to rush in like a bull in a china shop. Take your time to think things through, read the small print, and come to a decision.
With such a lot going on in the stars this month, there may be a tendency to feel overwhelmed: life is manic, and there’s a lot to think about. Keep your hooves on the ground by indulging in plenty of rest, relaxation, and pampering – some of the things that Taurus loves best.
Gemini: Opportunities Abound
Hold onto your hat(s) Gemini, the next week could be full of potentially lucrative opportunities for you. The alignment of Mercury with the Sun on the 18th could provide a sudden flash of inspiration – even an epiphany – regarding a potential new enterprise or side hustle.
Virgo season, beginning on the 22nd, will bring with it a tide of busyness, and your work and social schedule may get particularly full. However exciting this is, don’t forget to block out some time to recuperate, so you can remain as happy and productive as possible.
Cancer: Changing Energies
Recent times have seen you working hard to get on top of and in control of your finances, Cancer, and this is paying off. You’re already in a much better position, and the advice is to finish the job and tie off those loose ends.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 19th is also auspicious regarding money matters. You’ll feel empowered to kick old habits to the curb and free yourself from patterns that may have undermined your attempts to manage your finances in the past.
Leo: Looking to the Long Term
Leo, what a month you’ve had so far. And you’re set to continue to shine! Your energy will be off the charts, and you’ll be firing on all cylinders at work and home. Investments may be particularly attractive at this time, but ensure you seek professional advice first – and never invest in a bid to impress others.
Taking bold steps to achieve their financial goals is one of the Lion’s great traits, and their generosity is legendary. As Virgo season begins next week, Leos would do well to channel some of their astrological neighbor’s vibe and think about whether some of their extravagant spending could be undermining their long-term aims.
Virgo: Embracing Stability
The next week should be a stable one, financially, for Virgo, who may see some of their careful investments begin to pay off. The Aquarius Full Moon on on the 19th could see careful Virgo even thinking about trying something new, investment-wise. As long as prudence is practiced, this could be a good move.
As your very own astrological season begins on the 22nd, Virgo, enjoy the sense of heavenly harmony that’s on the way. It’ll feel like the world is dancing to your tune, and it’s a great time to broaden your horizons and appreciate your innate talents and qualities.
Libra: A Change of Direction
The next week is one of introspection for Librans. While the Mercury retrograde may be causing a few delays and blockages in terms of plans already underway, it’s a great moment to plot out your next steps.
Librans may find themselves considering a career change this month, or feeling a drive towards financial freedom. As the weekend begins, try sketching out some longer-term plans, and the steps to take along the way to reach your money goals.
Scorpio: Rest and Reflect
You’ll be in a particularly brooding frame of mind as the weekend approaches, Scorpio, and you may be feeling torn between advancing your career and chasing potentially lucrative opportunities, and spending time with family and loved ones.
There’s no right or wrong answer to this, Scorpio, but the alignment of the Sun with Mercury on the 18th could provide the clarity you need. Take this time to rest and reflect, be in flow with the Universe, and things will work out.
Sagittarius: On a Go Slow
It’s what no Sagittarius likes to hear, but now’s the time to slow down, take stock, and rest. Be assured, adventures await, but there’s a real risk of getting frazzled unless you take some nurturing time off. And getting frazzled is not good news for the Archer’s notorious productivity.
Instead of filing your work schedule with meetings, tasks, and projects, take a few days off and get some restful activities in your diary. Try out that new yoga class you’ve seen advertised, head to the beach to spend a day on the sand listening to the waves or work your way through your growing stack of “to read” novels.
Capricorn: Getting Moving
The last couple of weeks have been a little frustrating for Capricorn, with delays and miscommunications blighting work and projects. The Full Moon on the 19th, however, is likely to see things getting moving again. Cash could begin to flow into a new venture, or you may receive the green light on that new project.
Capricorn will be in their element as Virgo season comes into full swing from the 22nd – like the Goat, this astrological time is all about practicality and focus. You may also find yourself able to better make connections, which could throw up interesting opportunities at networking events.
Aquarius: Energy Boost
If things have felt a little stuck, financially, there’s great news, Aquarius: with Mercury in Leo you’re going to feel empowered to bust through any roadblocks, take the spotlight, and allow your ideas to shine.
The Aquarius Full Moon on the 19th represents a stellar (pun intended!) time for manifestation, and taking intentional, directed action to achieve your career and finance goals. But make time to rest and revive, too – things could be about to get very busy, indeed!
Pisces: Follow Your Instincts
Got a hunch, money-wise? Now’s the time to follow it, as your instincts are more powerful than ever at the moment. This doesn’t mean splashing out without thought, but if you’ve read the fine print and your intuition is giving you the green light, it could prove a great move.
Watch out for opportunities that may come in the form of a creative project next week. This could be a side hustle you’ve been considering for a while or a business proposition from a friend or potential partner. Collaboration is the name of the game as we move into the weekend and beyond.
