Leo season pounces in on kitten paws — soft, playful and full of potential. The week brings a new moon, an invitation to set intentions around pleasure: how you want to feel at work, in love, in the wild theater of your everyday life. This is the time to prioritize delight. With Pluto stirring behind the scenes, we're reminded that even the lightest jokes are rooted in truth, and the realest connections are often forged through laughter, play and sacred silliness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Though the solar change activates your fire sign energy, you channel the power subtly, with an unassuming strength, but somehow the low-key approach attracts even more attention. Your calm leadership will be applauded, and invitations follow. You'll be asked to lead, join or partake in fun perks. It's a week of rising.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Guided by heart and grounded fairness, you'll ask for what you're worth this week, not just in jobs and dollars but in everyday exchanges. It's about baseline respect, the way you're treated, heard, included. You'll approach it all without edge or apology — just a steady, clear sense of value that makes boundary-setting feel like second nature.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's easy to connect when everyone is on the same page. But you shine this week in the harder moments — when worlds don't align, beliefs clash and everyone seems to want something different from what's being offered to them. You're the reason bridges still get built. Humor, listening and one totally unexpected comment from you will unlock the magic.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your stoicism has a softness to it — a kindness that doesn't need to name every flaw to be honest. This week, you'll witness a secret or mistake, and your decision to let it pass will mean the world to someone. Your every gracious act helps you too. You contribute to softness that you will also revel in when you need it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You feel like your wildest, most magnetic self — curious, flirtatious and incredibly hard to pin down. You're drawn to someone who matches your energy and lets you run free without losing sight of you. You're both chasing something spontaneous. This week ends with laughter in your lungs, wind in your hair and a story you can't wait to tell.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You've known the joy of loyalty that stretches past convenience. This week, someone else will experience it from you — that unshakable, rare energy that says, "I'm here." No announcement, no ceremony, just being the rock someone needs. Showing up like this reminds you what you're made of — and that certainty will carry into everything else you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just when you've started to settle into the expected rhythm — following the script, checking the boxes — something shifts. There's an open window this week — a moment where you can say what you really want. Take it. You've earned the right to desire, to declare, to be bold. Your wish won't be seen as pushy. It will be seen as visionary.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You've known the haunting thought that some mysterious "other" could step into your life and make it work better. That ghost lives in the hallways of all extraordinary people. But there is no "someone else" with your timing, your voice, your way of making things and loving and pulling wild meaning out of chaos. Take on the week knowing that however you do it, it's right.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A delay can be a gift. A detour can be the best thing that happens in the journey. A wind-up that leads to nothing can still be sweet. The mystery ending or cliff-hanger has its purpose and place as well. The lesson of the week is one of releasing the expectation and accepting whatever form the action (or non-action) takes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just like you can't snap your fingers and have a potato appear in your garden, you can't instantly create happiness, love, motivation or peace just because you want to feel them. But you can set the conditions, and by creating a supportive environment you will increase the chances that the emotions you want will naturally emerge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you praise, you reinforce — in yourself and in culture. If you only reward surface-level cues, you train your attention to chase spectacle instead of substance. This week, you will use your insight to make things better, not just more efficient or controlled. That's how perception becomes kindness, and kindness is a ripple that transforms the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This week, you bring intelligence and grace to interactions. Enjoy yourself in the process. What you wear will matter, and it's time to invest in pieces that support your comfort and project the image that helps you to the goal. Also, you don't need to perform. You're a contributor just by being there. You make someone's day just by showing up.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: The power of timing is on your side. Your work will align with admiration, income and repeat opportunities — all you've wanted. Sure, you're willing to work hard, but you've already proven your grit. It's your turn to move with ease — maybe because life becomes easier, but also because your relationship to it does. More highlights: New friends bring humor, perspective and adventure. Conversations radically shift your sense of what's possible. You'll sell tickets to what you build. You'll invest in your health, improvement, skills and in yourself with abundant return.
