This week opens with three shifts worth knowing about. First, Mercury, the planet linked to communication and decisions, appears to move backwards from 29 June in what astrologers call a retrograde, a stretch that tends to favour slowing down, rereading messages and steering clear of rushed commitments.
Second, Jupiter, often called the planet of growth and good fortune, moves into bold and warm-hearted Leo, encouraging confidence, creativity and a little more main character energy across the board.
Third, a full moon in steady, ambitious Capricorn lights up themes of achievement, responsibility and long term goals, offering a natural moment to take stock of how far you have come.
Horoscope readings for this week: Here’s what you must know
Note: These horoscopes are based on general sun-sign interpretations and offer broad guidance rather than personalised birth-chart readings.
Aries
This week brings a lift to your sense of play, Aries. As Jupiter moves into Leo, a fellow fire sign, you may feel more willing to put yourself forward and share what you create.
A project you have kept quiet about could be ready for a wider audience. With Mercury slowing down in Cancer, though, your home and family conversations deserve a gentler pace. You may find that a relative needs you to listen rather than fix things.
The full moon in Capricorn shines on your working life, so take a moment to notice how far you have come rather than only what is left to do. Confidence and patience can sit together this week, and you do not have to choose one over the other.
Taurus
Home and roots come into focus for you, Taurus, as Jupiter settles into Leo and warms the part of your chart linked to family and belonging. You may feel drawn to make your living space more comfortable or to reconnect with people who feel like home.
Mercury turning retrograde in Cancer asks you to slow down with messages, emails and short trips, since wires can cross more easily now. Reread before you send, and give others room to clarify.
The full moon in Capricorn lights up your sense of the bigger picture, perhaps a course, a belief, or a long held plan to travel. This is a good week to reflect on what you want to learn next, without rushing to sign anything just yet.
Gemini
Your ruling planet Mercury turns retrograde this week, Gemini, so you may notice conversations doubling back and plans needing a second look. Rather than fighting it, treat the slower pace as a chance to finish things you left half done. Jupiter moving into Leo brings energy to how you speak, write and learn, and ideas you share now can travel further than you expect.
The full moon in Capricorn touches money you share with others, such as a joint account, a loan, or a family arrangement. It may be time to settle a small matter that has been quietly nagging.
Money conversations land better when you keep them calm and specific. Be patient with yourself if focus wanders, and let this be a week of tidying rather than launching.
Cancer
With Mercury retrograde moving back through your own sign, Cancer, you may feel a pull to revisit how you present yourself and what you truly want. Old thoughts and unfinished feelings can resurface, and there is no harm in sitting with them.
Jupiter entering Leo brightens the part of your chart linked to money and self worth, hinting at fresh ways to value your time and skills. The full moon in Capricorn falls in your zone of close relationships, so a partnership, whether personal or working, may reach a turning point.
You might see clearly what you need from someone, or what they need from you. Speak gently and avoid big declarations while Mercury is slow. This is a week for honest reflection rather than firm conclusions.
Leo
This is a landmark week for you, Leo, as Jupiter enters your sign for the first time in over a decade. This generous planet tends to expand whatever it touches, so doors may begin to open in ways that feel both exciting and a little daunting.
There is no need to rush, since Jupiter will travel with you for many months. Mercury turning retrograde quietens the most private corner of your chart, inviting rest and reflection before the busier season ahead. You may feel like recharging rather than performing, and that is wise.
The full moon in Capricorn highlights your daily routines and health, a good moment to notice which habits support you and which drain you. Step into this new chapter slowly, and let your confidence build at its own pace.
Virgo
Your ruling planet Mercury turns retrograde this week, Virgo, so you may sense a quieter, more inward mood settling in. Plans can shift, and it helps to keep some flexibility in your diary rather than packing it tight. Jupiter moving into Leo encourages rest, reflection and behind the scenes work, almost like a year long invitation to recharge before a fuller chapter.
Pay attention to your dreams and instincts now, as they may carry useful hints. The full moon in Capricorn lights up creativity, romance and play, reminding you that life is not only about getting things right.
You may feel moved to finish a personal project or to spend warmer time with someone who makes you laugh. Let yourself enjoy the week without auditing every detail.
Libra
Friendship and community come alive for you this week, Libra, as Jupiter moves into Leo and warms the part of your chart linked to groups and shared hopes. You may be drawn into a network, a cause, or a circle that feels truly encouraging.
Mercury turning retrograde touches your working life, so expect a few crossed wires with colleagues or delays in plans you thought were settled. Keep records, confirm details twice, and avoid taking mixed signals personally. The full moon in Capricorn shines on home and family, perhaps bringing a domestic matter to a head or a deeper sense of where you belong.
You might feel ready to let go of something at home that no longer fits. Lean on the people who lift you, and let the rest settle slowly.
Scorpio
Your public life and ambitions take centre stage this week, Scorpio, as Jupiter enters Leo and lights up the top of your chart. Opportunities linked to your reputation or long term goals may start to stir, even if the full picture takes months to form.
Mercury turning retrograde asks for care around travel, study and anything involving paperwork or official channels, so read the fine print before committing. The full moon in Capricorn falls in your zone of communication, and a conversation you have been circling may finally come into the open.
Choose your words with intention, since they carry weight now. You do not need to push hard to be noticed this week. Steady, deliberate steps will serve you far better than sudden moves while Mercury is slow.
Sagittarius
Your ruling planet Jupiter enters Leo this week, Sagittarius, settling into the part of your chart linked to adventure, learning and the bigger picture. You may feel a renewed hunger to explore, whether through travel, study, or simply ideas that stretch your thinking.
The Moon also begins the week in your sign, adding a hopeful, restless energy. Mercury turning retrograde touches shared finances and matters you handle with others, so go slowly with loans, contracts or joint plans.
The full moon in Capricorn highlights your money and resources, a useful moment to take honest stock of what you earn and spend. Dream widely, but keep one foot on the ground with the practical details. This is a week to plan the journey, not to book every leg of it at once.
Capricorn
The full moon falls in your sign this week, Capricorn, casting light on how you show up in the world and what you have been working towards. This is a natural moment to pause and take stock, celebrating quiet progress rather than only counting what remains.
Jupiter moving into Leo touches shared resources and deeper bonds, hinting at growth that comes through trust and partnership rather than going it alone. Mercury turning retrograde in your zone of relationships may bring an old conversation back round, so listen carefully before you respond. Misunderstandings ease when you slow the pace.
You may feel more visible than usual now, which can be both rewarding and tiring. Honour your need for rest alongside your sense of duty, and let this week clarify what you truly want.
Aquarius
Relationships come into focus for you this week, Aquarius, as Jupiter moves into Leo and warms the part of your chart linked to partnership.

You may feel quieter than usual, and that is worth honouring. Let others meet you halfway this week, and give yourself permission to slow down without guilt.
Pisces
Your daily rhythms and wellbeing come into focus this week, Pisces, as Jupiter moves into Leo and brings fresh energy to work and health. You may feel ready to build a routine that actually supports you rather than one that simply fills the day.
Mercury turning retrograde touches creativity and romance, so a past project or even a familiar face from before may resurface. Enjoy the nostalgia without rushing any decisions. The full moon in Capricorn shines on friendships and community, and you may see clearly which connections feed you and which quietly drain you.
It can be a tender moment to acknowledge how a group or goal has shifted. Tend to the small, steady things this week, and let your wider circle remind you that you are not carrying everything alone.
Remember that astrology offers a lens for reflection rather than a fixed map of what is to come.
The transits this week set a mood, but the choices remain yours. Take what feels useful, leave what does not, and we will see you back here next week for the next chapter of the sky.
