With Aries season in full swing, it could feel like the sky's the limit when it comes to getting after your goals in bold, daring ways. And this week, which kicks off with a dynamic Aries new moon and plays host to a beautiful sign shift and several luck-bringing meetups between planets, was de

Feels like Aries season kinda just flew by, right? Well, that comes as no surprise, given the speedy nature of the go-getter fire sign. But this week, we usher in Taurus season — and, along with it, a whole new, chilled-out vibe. But before that happens, on Sunday, April 18, the confident

While it's pretty crazy to think that this week culminates with the first day of May, the final week of the month is filled with game-changing astrological events galore. For starters, on Sunday, April 25, romantic Venus and communicator Mercury, both currently moving through grounded, stubborn

Even though 2020 is barely in the rearview mirror, you've likely found yourself wondering from time to time exactly how so many historic, challenging incidents could have ended up packed into one calendar year. And while there are quite a few explanations for that, astrologers will tell you th

We all know summer doesn't officially start until June 20, but with May playing host to Memorial Day weekend, the fifth month of the year really acts as a bridge between two of the sweetest, warmest seasons, filled with shimmering sunshine from dawn to dusk. And this year, that sunshine feels e

I've always thought of May as the month-equivalent of happy hour to June, July, and August's sweaty, satisfying, all-night soirée. It's the pre-game champagne toast before everyone gathers in a dazzling, twinkle-lit backyard à la Gatsby for hours of fun. And while roaring su

Welcome to May — and the moment when spring fever's about to kick into high gear, thanks to two game-changing planetary sign shifts that'll usher us into Gemini season. The week kicks off on Sunday, May 2 when messenger Mercury forms a harmonizing trine to transformative Pluto in Ca

As we dip our toes even further into Taurus season and sweet early May, it's pretty tough to not feel all the change on the horizon. That vibe is underlined by several major astro events this week. The week starts out on Sunday, May 9 with the moon in go-getter Aries forming a friendly sextile

If you feel the vibe shifting from laidback and luxury-loving to much airier and social, chances are you're picking up on the fact that we're heading into Gemini season this week. First, on Monday, May 17, the sun — still in fixed earth sign Taurus — will form a positive trin

I often think that if my dad didn't know his natal chart, I might not be here today. Seriously. In the early '70s, my dad returned to his hometown after grad school armed with not only his Masters degree but also knowledge of his astrological birth chart, which he'd been inspired to t

If you were to think about the most drama-filled month you've experienced lately, this May probably wouldn't be it — until now. Now, as we kick off eclipse season and start the second Mercury retrograde of the year (remember the first one? 😬), this relatively quiet month pac

If you often read your zodiac sign's horoscope or profile and think, "nah, that isn't me," you're far from alone. Sure, there are plenty of legitimate reasons why you might not totally identify with your zodiac sign, aka your astrological sun sign. (For starters, what we ref

Summer is just around the corner, and with it, an increasingly intensified anticipation of what the coming months could bring. Thanks to Gemini season, you've likely been stepping up your socializing in a major way, which can no doubt have you feeling somewhere between hopeful, electrified, and

Memorial Day weekend is generally thought of as the unofficial start of summer, which feels like the start of something new. But if the messenger planet has anything to say about it, we'll be focusing a lot on tending to old business. Mercury begins its second retrograde of 2021 on Saturday, Ma

With the lunar eclipse behind us and the solar eclipse slightly down the road (June 10) but Mercury retrograde in full swing, this week presents plenty of opportunities to slow down, dream, and enjoy some seriously comfy, cozy, and romantic vibes, thanks to a sign shift by Venus. For starters, on

As we approach the end of the first month of 2021, it's clear that change is on the horizon. But if you're feeling overwhelmed or saddled with a lot of the same old challenges of living through a pandemic and economic downturn, you're far from alone. That said, you could find this wee

We might have just kicked off a new year, a time we tend to think of as ripe for progress and plowing ahead, but the planets have a different game plan in mind. Well, one planet in particular: the messenger planet, Mercury, which will soon begin its first retrograde of 2021 in fixed air sign Aquariu

After making it through the storm of last week's Leo full moon, you could be feeling beyond prepared to put the drama aside and have a more restful week — especially as communication planet Mercury settles into its retrograde, which began on Saturday, January 30. And if that's the c

A full month into an already wild new year, many of us are continuing to keep the focus on hope for the future. Yet, there's no harm in admitting that all the lessons and hardships from last year didn't exactly disappear by turning the calendar page. In fact, thanks to the astrological the

Let's be real: The first month of 2021 was a rocky one. If you're feeling about as anxious as you do hopeful, you're far from alone. Now, progressing further into eccentric Aquarius season and kicking off a whole new month, you could be surprised by how easy it is to get caught up in
