My dear star gazers, it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you this is the last Collegian horoscope to come from me. As we close this chapter and look forward, the sky right now reminds us that life is not about endless reflection or interpretation; it is about integration. We have been given the information, and we have seen the patterns throughout this year. What we do with that has always been up to us more than the stars.

The week opens with friction when Mars squares Jupiter on Tuesday, basically amplifying everything. Themes of confidence, ambition, frustration and impulse become central. Jupiter reminds us that not every opportunity needs to be taken and not every feeling needs to be acted on immediately. There is a difference between expansion and excess, and this aspect tests your ability to tell them apart.

Mercury squares Pluto later the same day and conversations once again begin to deepen. Power dynamics, control and truths that have been sitting just below the surface have a way of coming out under Pluto’s influence. Mercury sextile the North Node follows almost immediately, suggesting that what is said, even if it’s difficult, ultimately moves us forward.

Midweek, the tone shifts inward. On May 6, Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius, beginning a longer period of internal restructuring. Something about how you relate to control, identity or collective spaces begins to turn inward for review. This asks you to be honest with your own growth, even if it isn’t always visible to those around you.  

That same day, Venus opposes Lilith to add complexity to our relationships. There is tension between connection and independence, or more accurately, between comfort and authenticity. You may notice where you have been accommodating too much or where someone else has. This manifests more as uncomfortable clarity than conflict. 

By the end of the week, there is less urgency and more understanding as the energies settle into a sextile between the Sun and Jupiter on Sunday. This will soften things, offering perspective and a sense that whatever you have moved through has a purpose.

Like so many ventures in life, this week doesn’t hand you answers; it asks if you’re willing to accept the ones you already have. As I sign off one final time, that feels appropriate. Trust what you’ve learned, my dear reader, and know that everything ends where it is supposed to. 

Love, your favorite weekly Gemini

Aries (March 21 – April 19):

This week tests your pacing. The Mars-Jupiter square in your sign pushes you to go bigger, faster and further, but without restraint, those ambitions can backfire. You may feel confident, even unstoppable, but not every risk is worth it. The Mercury-Pluto square adds intensity to conversations, especially around money or values, forcing you to be more precise with what you say. By the end of the week, the lesson is simple: Channel your energy intentionally, not impulsively.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): 

This is a defining moment for your voice and your direction. With Mercury in your sign squaring Pluto, something you say or hear carries weight, possibly shifting how you see a situation entirely. The sextile to the North Node suggests that difficult conversations move you forward. Meanwhile, the Mars-Jupiter square may create external pressure or urgency that doesn’t actually align with your pace. Stay grounded. You don’t need to rush to prove anything.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): 

Relationships and self-perception come into sharper focus this week. With Venus in your sign opposing Lilith, there is tension between how you present yourself and what you actually want. You may notice where you have been adjusting too much to maintain harmony. The Mercury-Pluto square works more internally for you, bringing up thoughts or realizations you can’t ignore. This is a week for honesty, even if it disrupts your usual flow.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22):

This week, Pluto retrograde begins to shift something deeper in how you relate to control, trust or shared dynamics, even if it’s not immediately visible. The Mars-Jupiter square may bring pressure in your public or professional life, pushing you to act quickly. Don’t let urgency override your instincts. Listen to your gut, as what feels subtle right now may later become significant.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): 

Your social world and long-term direction come into focus but not without tension. The Mars-Jupiter square may push you toward a bold move or opportunity, especially involving travel, learning or expansion. However, be mindful of overcommitting. The Venus-Lilith opposition highlights friendships or group dynamics where authenticity may be lacking. You are being asked to choose alignment over approval.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22): 

This week challenges how you handle pressure and visibility. The Mars-Jupiter square may amplify demands in your career or public life, making everything feel urgent and high-stakes. At the same time, the Mercury-Pluto square brings intensity into your thinking. You may be analyzing something too deeply, possibly to the point of overcomplication. The key is clarity, Virgo. Not everything needs to be solved at once.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22): 

Your perspective shifts this week, Libra. The Mercury-Pluto square may challenge a belief, a plan or a conversation that you thought was settled, forcing you to reconsider your stance. Meanwhile, the Mars–Jupiter square impacts relationships, creating tension between independence and compromise. You may feel pulled in two directions. The answer is not choosing one extreme, it’s finding what actually aligns.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): 

This week brings an intensity that you are all too familiar with. The Mercury-Pluto square activates deeper emotional or financial dynamics, possibly revealing something you hadn’t fully acknowledged. The Mars-Jupiter square may push you to act quickly in your daily life or responsibilities, but rushing won’t serve you. The real work here is understanding what’s beneath the surface before reacting to it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): 

Relationships take on a more confrontational tone this week, but that doesn’t make them negative. The Mars-Jupiter square in your fellow fire sign may amplify emotions, attraction or conflict, and everything just feels bigger right now. The Venus–Lilith opposition adds complexity, especially around independence and authenticity. You are being asked to show up honestly, even if it disrupts the dynamic. It is time to deepen things, not end them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): 

This week highlights the balance between productivity and pressure. The Mars-Jupiter square may push you to take on more than you realistically can, especially in work or daily responsibilities. Meanwhile, the Mercury-Pluto square brings focus to financial or value-based decisions, requiring careful thought. You don’t need to do everything, Capricorn — just the things that actually matter.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): 

This week is a turning point, even if it doesn’t look like one externally. With Pluto stationing retrograde in your sign, your sense of identity, control or direction is entering a new phase of reflection. The Mars-Jupiter square may create noise in your environment, but the real work is quieter. Pay attention to what’s changing within you, and get ready to embark on a long-term journey toward internal harmony. 

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): 

This week asks you to reconcile what feels safe with what feels true. The Venus-Lilith opposition may highlight tension in your home or emotional life, especially around comfort versus authenticity. The Mercury-Pluto square brings intensity into communication, possibly revealing something that changes how you see a situation. You don’t need to resolve everything right now, but you do need to acknowledge it.
