Take time to explore your creative process.

This is an excellent week to take on new initiatives, Sagittarius. Last year was all about analyzing the past and working with it, but 2026 brings a stronger energy. It helps you take charge and become more future-oriented.

The Moon in Leo puts you in the driver’s seat and reminds you that this is your moment to shine in the Sun. While this transit has you reflecting on your successes thus far, it also makes financial growth a topic of conversation with your partner. For those who are single, your attention shifts to strengthening your armor as you learn not to let the past impact you. The Libra Moon later on helps you thrive in the professional sector. Just be sure to play fair and not take sides.

At the start of the week, the Leo Moon reminds you that friendship involves caring for others and being there for them. This week shows you what to expect during the Jupiter in Leo transit in the summer. But for now, this is a time for you to reflect on how well you work with others and what your expectations are in relationships. This applies to both business and romance. Be honest with yourself and learn from past experiences.

The Virgo Moon is a very industrious transit that shows you how to work well with others. With Saturn in your sign, you are getting better at compromising and learning more from others. The Leo and Libra Moons teach you how to have more pride in yourself and not second-guess what you’ve accomplished or created. Capricorn season also shows you that there is more room for growth and plenty of time to establish new goals and lay a stronger foundation.
