Welcome to Metalhead Horoscopes, where the riffs get weirder and the vibes go full prog. Neptune, the cosmic illusionist starts moonwalking backward in Aries on the 4th, casting a fog of delusion over everything. Watch for big talkers trying to get into the festival with no tickets and promises thinner than the sound guy’s patience.
On the same day, Venus locks horns with chaos agent Uranus, shaking up your heavy metal love balad with a surprise doom metal song. By nightfall, Venus slides into brainy Gemini, shifting romance from doom and gloom to deep conversations over rare vinyl and horror films. Love gets weird but try to go with the flow. This too shall pass.
Keep your bullshit detector tuned to 666 MHz. The drama’s loud this week but so is your clarity if you crank it right.
“The universe is a stage and every sign is a band. Some are headlining. Some are imploding. All are loud.” Sabbatha Ashevale
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You’re caught up in the emotional equivalent of a mosh pit spun around by intense convos and maybe even fixated on something (or someone) just out of reach. It’s frustrating, but the Wall of Death always clears. When Venus hits Gemini on the 4th, your communication tightens up like a well tuned snare drum. Speak your truth clear, direct, and brutal.
This week’s metal mantra: “Hold the line. No clean vocals.”

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Thinking of reinventing your look? Maybe it’s finally time for that septum piercing or corpse paint tutorial. With Venus thrashing through your identity zone, it’s your personal Wacken moment, go bold, but make sure you can still survive the pit. By the 4th, you’ll want options, battle jacket or studded vest? Corpse paint or guy liner? Why not both?
This week’s metal mantra: “Rebel, but with layers.”

Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Communication hits a dissonant chord this week. Someone’s off tempo and it’s not you. Don’t try to win the argument with blast beats. Instead, save your growls for later. Once Venus enters Gemini, your fanbase grows. It’s time to promote that wild idea. Someone out there wants your demo.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

This week’s metal mantra: “Rally the crew. Raise the horns.”

Her horoscopes are less “love & light” and more “light the match and face the void.”
Each week, Sabbatha Ashvale conjures your fate from the flaming wreckage of planetary chaos, translating cosmic noise into prophecy for the pit. Whether the stars are moshing or meditating, she’ll tell you what it means with riffs, realness, and a side of gutterals.
