Sun on the way, terrace cravings and the feeling that summer is finally beginning. It may still seem outside as if October accidentally came back for a week, but don't be fooled by those rain showers and gusts of wind, because from Friday the sun will break through and the Netherlands will collectively turn back into one big Amsterdam – Bar Bukowski. The sunglasses are being dusted off, the first festivals are beckoning, the rosé can be chilled and thanks to Ascension, this week feels like someone has secretly given us a mini-holiday gift. For everyone in the middle of exams: hang in there. Just a little more cramming, stressing, and highlighting with Stabilo Boss and then freedom will be at your feet as if you are playing the lead role in a coming-of-age film.

Aries

(March 21 - April 19)

You feel an enormous need to break free from everything that feels like obligation this week. That doesn't mean you're suddenly throwing your responsibilities overboard, but you do realize how important fun actually is for you. From Friday, your social life will fully pick up steam and there's a good chance you'll spontaneously end up on a terrace where you originally planned to have “just one drink.” In love, something exciting is developing around someone who intellectually challenges you more than you expected. At work, you notice that you need more freedom and fewer people telling you how something should be done. Financially, this is not a week for impulsive online purchases after two glasses of wine.

Lunar affirmation: I can choose pleasure without guilt.

Taurus

(20 April - 20 May)

While others completely lose it as soon as the sun shows up, you try to maintain some structure this week. You manage to do this partially, but not entirely. And maybe that's just good for you. This week shows that fun and control can coexist. You can work hard AND end Thursday night with wine and bitterballen on a terrace as if life consists only of coziness. In love, there is room for more openness if you dare to express what you actually need. Also notable: someone in your environment seems to have much more appreciation for you than you thought.

Lunar affirmation: Rest is not stagnation but a form of strength.

Gemini

(21 May - 20 June)

Your mind is working overtime this week and honestly, you usually find that delightful. Your agenda is filling up with plans, messages, invitations, and people wanting something from you. Yet the real magic lies in the unexpected moments in between. A conversation on a terrace, a flirt during a festival, or a spontaneous encounter can have much more impact this week than you think. For exam students among the Geminis, you are slowly starting to see the end and that brings relief. In love, you may want to be less concerned with how something looks and more with how someone actually makes you feel.

Lunar affirmation: I don't have to be everywhere at once to experience something beautiful.

Lobster

(June 21 - July 22)

This week brings a strange combination of nostalgia and a sense of the future. You may suddenly long for old summers, old loves, or people you haven't seen in a while. At the same time, you also feel that something new is coming. Especially from the long Ascension weekend, you get the feeling that summer is cautiously starting to unfold. You need connection but also safety, so choose wisely this week with whom you spend your time. At work, someone may finally express recognition for something you've been putting energy into for a long time. Financially, it's important not to laugh everything off with “oh, it'll be fine.”.

Lunar affirmation: I can look ahead without letting go of what was valuable.

Leo

(July 23 - August 22)

You are completely ready for glitter, people, music, and nights that last longer than planned. This week feels like the official kickoff of the social season for you and you are eager to be seen. That happens naturally, as your energy attracts people as if you are part of a festival lineup. In love, something playful is developing. Singles may suddenly receive attention from someone who is much more confident than their usual type. Financially, you should be a little less generous with “just one more round then.” Also handy: try not to appear everywhere at once because even you can't sit on three terraces at the same time.

Lunar affirmation: I don't have to prove myself to be loved.

Virgo

(August 23 - September 22)

While everyone slowly collectively unravels as soon as the sun returns, you try to hold on to some structure. You manage this partially, but not completely. And maybe that's just good for you. This week shows that fun and control can coexist. You can work hard AND end Thursday night with wine and bitterballen on a terrace as if life consists only of coziness. In love, there is room for more openness if you dare to express what you actually need. Also notable: someone in your environment seems to have much more appreciation for you than you thought.

Lunar affirmation: I can relax without losing everything.

Libra

(September 23 - October 22)

You completely blossom as soon as social life moves back outside. Terraces, festivals, long lunches, and spontaneous plans give you exactly the energy you've needed in recent weeks. However, you notice that you become more critical of the people around you this week. You have less interest in superficial energy and more need for people with whom you genuinely feel good. In love, something romantic is in the air, especially during a spontaneous evening that didn't start out spectacularly at all. Financially, this is a week in which you treat yourself to something beautiful and surprisingly have little regret about it.

Lunar affirmation: I choose people and places where I can be myself.

Scorpio

(October 23 - November 21)

You need intensity this week, even if everyone around you only wants to talk about rosé and festival tickets. That doesn't mean you don't enjoy the long weekend, but you are looking for more than just coziness. A conversation can unexpectedly go deep this week and bring you closer to someone than you had anticipated. In relationships, more honesty emerges, provided you stop analyzing everything in your head a hundred times first. At work, clarity comes about something you've been doubting for a while. By the way, the sun does you more good than you think, so please go outside for a bit.

Lunar affirmation: I can trust what I feel without controlling everything.

Sagittarius

(November 22 - December 21)

You have an enormous urge to want to get away this week. Even if it's just for a night, even if it's just with a backpack and a friend who says “yes” to everything. The long weekend feels like a mini-holiday for you and you notice how much you crave adventure and spontaneity. In love, there is attraction with someone who mentally challenges you and that makes an impression. Financially, you need to be careful not to spend everything on spontaneous plans, festivals, and “let's just book something.” Exam stress in your environment may affect you more emotionally than you expected.

Lunar affirmation: Freedom begins by staying true to myself.

Capricorn

(December 22 - January 19)

You are trying to stay bravely productive this week while the rest of the Netherlands is already mentally on a terrace. Yet you notice that you too are slowly softening as the sun returns. There is more room for relaxation and that rejuvenates you immensely. At work, you are doing something well that others may take for granted but secretly requires a lot of discipline. In love, it's time to be a little less practical and a little more present in the moment. Someone doesn't want to see your schedule but wants to feel your attention.

Lunar affirmation: I don't always have to be useful to be valuable.

Aquarius

(20 January - 18 February)

This week feels light, playful, and creative. You are eager to meet new people, discover new places, and maybe even reinvent yourself a little. The long weekend brings exactly the loose energy that makes you bloom. In love, someone may unexpectedly come in through friends, festivals, or a situation you thought would be totally uninteresting beforehand. Financially, it's smart to keep a little more overview because you have a tendency to spend money as if your future self will solve it all.

Lunar affirmation: I trust that spontaneous moments can bring something beautiful.

Fish

(February 19 - March 20)

You feel very strongly this week that summer is coming and honestly, you thrive on that. You long for long evenings, music outside, falling in love, and conversations that end way too late. At the same time, it's important that you don't lose yourself in expectations or fantasies about people who may be less available than you hope. Creatively, you are strong and that makes this week perfect to start something new. For exam students among the Pisces: you are closer to the finish than you think, even if your brain now feels like applesauce.

Lunar affirmation: I don't have to feel everything perfectly to be happy.
