Aries 

It’s time to take the lead with courage, but also with emotional wisdom. With Mercury retrograde in Leo and Venus in Cancer, you're invited to reflect on how you've been expressing yourself and to reconnect with your emotions before taking action. This week supports decisions that blend strength with sensitivity. Take the reins of your world, but keep your heart present.

Tip: Give yourself a body scrub with coarse salt and rosemary essential oil. Renew yourself to move forward with greater awareness.

Taurus

Nothing blooms without dedication, and this week Saturn reinforces that truth. It's time to put love into the details — whether in your work or in the development of one of your talents. Rewards will come through consistency and care. Your beauty lies in doing the simple things with excellence, and right now, that shines brighter than ever.

Tip: Nourishing hair mask and a calm playlist. Beauty begins with the time you give yourself.

Gemini

Your mind is vibrant and full of ideas, Gemini. With the blessing of the Jupiter–Venus conjunction, everything you communicate has the power to touch and transform. Take this opportunity to speak your dreams out loud and bring your plans to life. Clarity, inspiration, and emotional intelligence intertwine, opening fertile paths ahead.

Tip: Hydrate your lips and try a bold new lipstick—your voice deserves to shine with color.

Cancer

You are at a point of transition. Something old is asking to be released, and Venus in your sign embraces this process with tenderness. There is beauty in surrender and relief in letting go. By releasing what weighs you down, you open yourself to new emotional beginnings. It's a time of deep healing — like a hug from your soul to itself.

Tip: Take a warm bath with chamomile and flower petals. Let the water wash away the pain and make room for the new.

Leo

With the Sun shining in your sign, you're at the center of attention — but now with a deeper desire for security and balance. There's a longing to celebrate, yet also to nurture what truly matters. Your light doesn’t have to be just a spectacle; it can also be home, love, presence. Express yourself, but don’t forget where your roots come from.

Tip: Go for makeup with shimmer or gold tones and deeply hydrate your skin. This is your time to reign.

Virgo

A new energy arises and calls for movement. Mars in Libra drives initiatives related to finances and partnerships. Creative ideas emerge, and you can act with intelligence and aesthetic sense. The sky favors the beginning of something beautiful and productive, as long as you trust your own shine.

Tip: Organize your skincare products and follow a complete step-by-step routine. Self-care is found in the details.

Libra

A week of abundance and fertility in many ways. With Jupiter and Venus in harmony, affections bloom and creative projects gain strength. Your heart is more fertile than ever. Invest in everything that nurtures your emotions: love, art, dreams. You are a fertile field expanding.

Tip: Pink clay face mask and soft music. Reinforce your inner and outer harmony.

Scorpio

Emotions may feel turbulent, and you might find yourself facing an internal or external conflict. Mars and Saturn call for rationality and patience. Avoid acting in the heat of the moment. True power lies in staying firm with presence and intelligence. Not every challenge needs to become a battle.

Tip: Take an herbal bath with rue and lavender to purify and protect. Dress yourself as your own radiant armor.

Sagittarius

The stars call for attention to desires that consume more than they nourish. You may feel attracted to something or someone who seems magnetic but has already proven not to be good for you.

Tip: Apply a citrus-scented body oil and dance for five minutes. Freedom and pleasure in the body.

Capricorn

You are exhausted, and rightly so. The past few weeks have demanded more than you could give. Now, the stars invite you to practice self-care, take a pause, and embrace quiet resilience. Taking care of yourself is also part of the journey. Honor your effort, but allow yourself to rest before the next climb.

Tip: Give yourself a facial massage with a nourishing cream. Caring for your face is also caring for what you face every day.

Aquarius

With so many options, confusion also arises. There is a mental fog that only clears when you silence the external noise. Mars and Saturn call for conscious choices based on what truly matters. Don’t get lost in excess. Clarity will come when you listen to your soul, not just your mind.

Tip: Try a new nail polish or fun nail art. Choose something light and playful — beauty can be whimsical.

Pisces

You have shined, Pisces, and now the harvest begins. This week is one of recognition and reward, both in love and personal projects. Allow yourself to celebrate your victories with gratitude. Your journey has been intuitive and true to your heart. The Universe now returns your efforts with generosity and silent applause.

Tip: Take a bath with sugar and lavender to celebrate the sweetness of your dedication. Look at yourself in the mirror with pride.
