Wednesday has a way of forcing the issue. You’re too far in to pretend things aren’t moving, stargazer, and the sky is firmly in agreement — Saturn opposing Venus is two days from exact, and the pressure on relationships, desires, and what you actually want is at full strength. Jupiter’s conjunction with Mercury closes today: whatever you’ve been building toward saying, this morning is the last call before that reach drops. Moon squared Mercury early, putting friction on the words; tonight Sun squares the Moon and pulls feeling and forward drive apart. The week is asking everyone to stop circling and decide something. Most of you already know what it is.

Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today. 

Aries: March 21 – April 19

The fog that’s been sitting on your drive all week is lifting — Mars square Venus wraps up today and the push-pull between what you want and how you’ve been going after it finally starts to ease. You’ve had two days of listening and sitting with things. That was necessary, Aries. Now you can actually move again. Pick one thing. Just one. Go.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

The aspects that have been softening Venus all week drop away today, and what’s left is Saturn opposing your ruling planet with nothing buffering it — two days from exact and fully felt. That’s not as uncomfortable as it sounds. All week you’ve been circling something you needed to decide, Taurus. Today the circling stops. You already know what you think. Say it.
