Don’t you just find those mid-season episodes of your favorite show frustrating? You know the ones—they’re crucial to the storyline yet lack the dramatic punch you crave. Luckily, the cosmos has other plans this week! As the stars align, it becomes evident that this week will be anything but dull, offering profound opportunities for personal growth and emotional upheaval.
As we delve into the week ahead, prepare for a transformative experience. The moon is entering its darkest phase, inviting you to turn inward and reflect. This is a perfect time to contemplate what in your life no longer serves you. By Friday, as we move towards a powerful new moon in Scorpio, there is an energetic push that may prompt you to release lingering attachments. If you're hesitant to let go, the universe may intervene, especially with Pluto’s influence stirring the pot of transformation.
Expect a curveball mid-week that heightens the tension before it peaks with the new moon, igniting the atmosphere with intensity. This week embodies an “us against them” vibe, where hidden emotions will rise to the surface, and alliances may be tested. Even if the drama isn’t directly affecting you, it could still be riveting to watch. And if you find yourself in the thick of it, remember that sometimes, it’s healthier to air grievances than to bottle them up.
Collectively, we should strive to be kind and patient with one another, recognizing that we are all navigating these turbulent waters together.

ARIES AND ARIES RISING
Are you ready for a reset? This week brings an energetic shift that can’t be ignored. If you’ve been craving change, transformation, or even disruption, the stars align in your favor. As we approach the peak reset energy by Friday, you’ll have an opportunity to face your shadow side and confront long-standing issues that have felt overwhelming. Yes, this process might be intimidating, but the potential for significant upgrades makes it worthwhile. Embrace the fear; it’s a sign of growth.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
With the sun in Scorpio shining a light on your key relationships, you can expect this week to bring substantial changes. An unexpected revelation from someone close to you around mid-week (Wednesday GMT, Thursday AEST) will set the stage for potential fireworks. Although change might not be your favorite thing, this shake-up is precisely what you need to gain clarity on necessary transformations in your relationships. Embrace the shifts and allow new seeds to take root.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
The week kicks off with a jolt as a relationship dynamic that felt smooth begins to encounter obstacles. Rather than panicking, take this time to regroup and reassess the situation. As the week unfolds, tensions related to financial constraints will become increasingly apparent. Use this as a cue to seek compromise between extremes—avoid lashing out or dramatically altering everything. Fortunately, the new moon on Friday (AEST and GMT) offers a clean slate, especially regarding work-related goals. Utilize this drama to set intentions for the month ahead.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
Expect a whirlwind of action this week, as dramatic cosmic energies collide in your life. The escalating tension between authority figures and those asserting their displeasure could lead to explosive developments. If you're Cancer rising, this drama might unfold at work or within your home environment. While there's no avoiding the confrontation, adopting a philosophical approach will allow you to find catharsis amidst the chaos. Stay present, and look for a middle ground during these turbulent times.
LEO AND LEO RISING
This week is anything but chill, as Scorpio season shifts the focus to emotional depths that may catch you off guard. While home-related issues may occupy your thoughts, tensions at work or with challenging individuals are also brewing. A pivotal moment mid-week (Wednesday GMT, Thursday AEST) will ignite intense feelings, leading to potential explosive interactions on Friday when the new moon aligns with powerful Mars/Pluto energies. Prepare for a whirlwind of emotions and remember to stay grounded.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
You might encounter a temporary setback early in the week that seems frustrating, yet it serves as a necessary pause. Once you regain your composure, you’ll notice a growing divide between competing interests around you. While this disagreement may not directly involve you, it’s hard to ignore the cultural clashes manifesting in your environment. The tension will reach a breaking point by Friday (GMT and AEST), but remember, navigating through this mess can lead to relief and clarity on the other side.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
Scorpio season encourages you to focus on your professional life and finances, but this week brings an additional layer of tension. A simmering resentment—possibly stemming from a work-related issue—may escalate quickly. Your task is to ride the emotional waves while seeking compromise. Advocating for yourself without losing your cool is essential. Even if the confrontation doesn’t go perfectly, it will pave the way for much-needed transformation ahead of the new moon on Friday.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
This week marks a period of high emotions and significant stakes as your season unfolds. Prepare for readjustments, particularly concerning your finances or expectations from others. Mid-week (Wednesday GMT, Thursday AEST), be cautious of how your words might be perceived; a comment could land differently than intended. The real action kicks off on Friday when Mars and Pluto confront each other, leading to questions about allegiances. It’s wise to prepare an answer to “whose side are you on?” in advance.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
Drama continues this week, but its manifestation may differ from the previous week's turmoil. The sun urges you to lay low while financial pressures mount, creating a sense of overwhelm. After an unrelated social hiccup, the focus shifts to the rising tension between competing financial interests. Whether it's spending versus saving or yours versus theirs, open communication about money becomes essential as the new moon approaches on Friday (AEST and GMT). Take a deep breath and face the financial conversations head-on.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
The dynamics within a significant relationship are feeling strained, yet this tension offers a chance to elevate your connection. If your partner or someone important has been acting differently lately, it’s likely not just your imagination; something is off. This week, you can no longer ignore the discomfort. While it may be uncomfortable, addressing conflicts can help resolve underlying issues. Approach any confrontations with empathy, acknowledging that conflict can be healthy if navigated constructively.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
Your Aquarian instincts will be put to the test this week amid significant power dynamics. Mid-week, an unexpected revelation—perhaps at work if you’re an Aquarius rising—may leave you momentarily speechless. However, the most significant tension arises from opposition among individuals in your orbit, even if they’re not your closest companions. As these issues come to a head on Friday (GMT and AEST), your feelings about your professional ambitions might shift. Whether you take center stage or observe from the sidelines, expect an eventful week ahead.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
You prefer to grow in relationships without conflict, but this week encourages everyone to express their grievances. As emotions rise, be prepared for messy interactions. However, beyond the chaos, significant shifts are on the horizon. You may not favor this method of evolution, but as the zodiac’s embodiment of letting go, you understand that sometimes it’s necessary to let things out. Embrace the wisdom of “better out than in” as you navigate this week’s tumultuous energy.
Conclusion
As we navigate this week filled with cosmic shifts, remember that the stars are guiding you through the turbulence. Embrace the change and allow the transformative energies of Scorpio season to work their magic in your life. Whether you are in the midst of conflict or observing from afar, the insights gained this week can lead to profound personal growth. Allow the drama to unfold, and trust that it’s all part of a larger cosmic plan for evolution and transformation.
