What’s happening: The Moon is in Libra, but early Saturday morning/late Friday evening (depending on your time zone), it moves into intimate Scorpio. On Saturday, Mercury squares off with Uranus, indicating unexpected messages and surprise conversations. Because Mercury is still in its post-retrograde shadow, it’s safe to assume that this conversation will revolve around some of the drama you faced this past Mercury Retrograde. A big red flag for rejection, the Sun opposite Saturn, casts a shadow on the astrology of Sunday.
On Monday, the Moon enters Sagittarius and Mercury enters its favorite sign, Virgo. Then, the Moon enters Capricorn on Wednesday evening and Mercury creates a gentle connection with motivated Mars. Finally, on Thursday, the Sun squares off with expansive Jupiter, encouraging optimism and confidence—though you run the risk for biting off more than you can chew, ignoring crucial details, and just being extra.
What that means for *you*:
Aries
Remember that ex who showed up out of nowhere a couple few weeks ago? Well, it looks like they’re coming back one last time this weekend. If you didn’t get closure or reach a satisfactory conclusion with this ex, now’s your final opportunity to move on. If you’ve been thinking about asking them for a fresh start and potentially starting a new relationship, I’ve got bad news… Saturn’s oppressive energy this weekend is basically screaming, “No, no, no!!!!” This week is not for new beginnings.
Taurus
The Moon is in your chart’s relationships zone for most of the weekend, which is usually a great time for shooting your shot, DTRing, and making new love connections. However, Saturn is putting that all on hold, encouraging you to focus on strengthening your already-existing relationships. Mercury entering Virgo on Monday is the exact opposite—this is the beginning of a period where new love connections can be found around every corner! Get dressed up, go somewhere fun, and put yourself out there at the end of the week. Finding a fling or a new potential paramour will be a total breeze!
Gemini
Don’t expect too much action this weekend—you’re too busy dealing with unexpected obstacles at work, and it’s giving you zero free time for any kind of fun. The Moon enters Sagittarius around noon on Monday, which activates your chart’s relationships zone, opening up plenty of time for dating, hooking up, and having fun with your S.O. The Capricorn Moon in the middle of the week creates an emotional, intimate vibe for your sign. This is great for romance and getting closer to your boo, but if you’re single, you can feel especially lonely—plus, catching feelings for a hookup is all but guaranteed right now!
Cancer
Your chart’s zone of romance and fun is getting lit up by the Scorpio Moon this weekend, so hooking up is way more exciting, getting romantic feels much more meaningful, and finding love is way easier! If there are any important conversations you want to have with your partner, wait ‘til the middle of the week. Saturn’s influence this weekend suggests that your partner just doesn’t want to listen, so disagreements and arguments are way more likely to happen. On Wednesday, the Capricorn Moon activates your chart’s relationships zone and Mercury forms a pleasant connection with excitable Mars in your sign. This is perfect astro weather for saying your piece, getting your point across, and confidently starting that important conversation.
Leo
The burden of choice is falling on you this weekend. Mercury in your sign squares off with Uranus and you’re being asked: What’s next? Are you ready to DTR with your date? Do you want to take things to the next level with your partner? Maybe you’re being asked questions about moving in with your boo, or maybe even talking marriage. As I said, the choice is yours right now. Declare what you want, whatever it is—even if it’s a breakup—and you can make serious moves in your love life and accomplish a ton this weekend.
Virgo
The Scorpio Moon this weekend activates your chart’s communication zone, so more people are sliding into your DMs, more people are coming up to you at the bar to flirt and and finding a date is way easier. Unfortunately, you are not interested in most of the people trying to hit you up, which means you’re going to spend a lot of your time swiping left and leaving people on read. The Capricorn Moon later this week makes you much luckier when it comes to getting lucky, and the potential for romance and fun is way higher! Mercury’s cute sextile with Mars at the same time is a big sign that you’re making some new exciting connections, and Jupiter’s influence at the end of the week only amplifies all the good luck.
Libra
The Moon is in your sign today, helping you to let out your feelings and open up to others. This is great for romance and making deep connections with your boo, but if you’re single, you may be feeling especially lonely. You need to make sure that you’re being honest and clear with others this weekend. If you’re leading someone on, wasting their time, or playing games, you’ll be confronted about it. Listen, being flaky isn’t cool. If you’re not sure what you want in your love life right now, you need to admit that instead of allowing someone to get their hopes up, just to leave them in the dust. Whether this conversation will result in a stronger relationship or deciding to leave so you can figure out what you want is still TBD, but you’ll reach that conclusion by the end of the week.
Scorpio
This is a big weekend for your love life, but unfortunately, it doesn’t look like an easy weekend. The Moon in your sign is great for romance, but the stressful astro with Mercury, Uranus, and Saturn this weekend suggests that there are some major conversations happening between you and your partner—and the condition of your relationship will be altered based on how that conversation goes. The big idea here is to put everything out in the open re: relationship goals. You may decide to break up if you’re not on the same page, or you could find a way to upgrade your relationship in you are. It’ll take some time to decide what the best course of action will be, but once you make the decision, you’ll be fully prepared to do so.
Sagittarius
Today’s Libra Moon is great for speed dating, matching with cuties on dating apps, and maybe meeting a new potential paramour or two, but the Scorpio Moon later on puts a damper on things. The majority of this week’s astro makes no promises to improve your love life, but at the same time, there’s no indication that a downgrade will happen, either. Thursday’s Sun/Jupiter square is filling you with confidence and improving your perspective on love. This creates the perfect vibe for starting important conversations with your partner, asking someone out, or upgrading your relationship. However, no amount of luck will make it so your partner of a month will react well to you asking if they want to move in with you. The key to success here is to be realistic!
Capricorn
The most social part of your chart is getting lit up by this weekend’s Scorpio Moon, so if you’re single and ready to mingle, you’re definitely in luck! Major news is coming from your S.O this weekend and it’s likely to catch you off guard. This message appears to be positive, so I wouldn’t expect a surprise breakup. Instead, someone you’ve been seeing for a while may confess their love for you, or you could make an passionate instant connection with someone new! Think carefully before speaking during these important conversations, because Saturn’s influence is making it tough for you to choose the right words to say. Wednesday’s astro is great to take your boo on a surprise date. The Moon in your sign cultivates an atmosphere of romance, and the Mercury/Mars connection is inspiring you to explore with your partner, go new places, and try new things—in and out of bed!
Aquarius
Chatty Mercury is in your chart’s relationships zone right now, and it’s butting heads with Uranus, the planet of surprises. This astro creates a ton of friction and strongly compels you to let your feelings out. Whether this is an explosion of frustration with your partner or a sudden flash of affection for a new crush is still unknown, but you can make an educated guess based on the state of your relationship. If you’re single and ready to mingle, this is likely to be a surprise new connection. If you’re happily boo’d up, this weekend can lead to one of two results. First, if your relationship is in shoddy condition, this could lead to a breakup—or at least a serious overhaul of relationship habits and behaviors. But if your relationship is going well, you could discover that you and your boo are very passionate for each other and end up getting even closer!
Pisces
There are some difficulties coming up with your relationship, but Saturn’s influence in your sign suggests that you’re totally capable of fixing these problems… as long as you’re able to hold yourself accountable. There’s a lot that you could be doing for your partner—or things you used to do, but don’t anymore. Take initiative and be more loving, tell them that they have your support, help them out with little acts of service, and they’ll show you boatloads of appreciation and love as a result. All of that love and appreciation will be returned to you in surplus, so you can expect tons of romance and some pretty hot action by the end of the week!
