Your birthday season arrives with a retrograde twist this year, and the gift is clarity you didn't ask for but badly need.
With the Sun at 10° Scorpio joining Mercury retrograde at 14° in your own sign, this week is less about charging forward and more about revisiting. Something you said, decided, or committed to in the past few weeks is circling back for a second look. Don't fight it — Mercury retrograde through Scorpio wants you to refine your intentions before you launch into a new solar year, not abandon them. Use this week to revise a personal goal, reread an old journal entry, or have the honest conversation you've been avoiding with yourself.
Venus retrograde at 25° Libra continues to stir your relationship house, asking you to reconsider a partnership or close tie — not to end it necessarily, but to be truthful about what you actually need from it. A money or shared-resources conversation that stalled recently may reopen; let it, rather than forcing resolution before both sides are ready.
Meanwhile, Mars and Jupiter traveling together in Leo light up your domestic and emotional foundations. This is fertile ground for a bold move at home — a renovation, a difficult family conversation, or simply reclaiming space that feels truly yours. Jupiter's expansiveness there means generosity toward family will be returned tenfold.
Saturn and Neptune both retrograde in early Aries, deep in your partnership and work-visibility zone, suggest patience with a project or professional relationship that feels foggy right now. Don't force a verdict.
Practical move this week: before Mercury turns direct, write down exactly what you want your birthday year to look like. Revise it once, then let it rest.
