What’s happening: Tonight, the Moon enters sensual Taurus, and tomorrow, Mercury (which is nearing the end of its retrograde) links up with motivated Mars. The Moon enters Gemini late Sunday evening, where it remains for the first half of the week. Venus harmonizes with Uranus, the planet of surprises, on Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning, the Moon enters Cancer—oh, and Mercury Retrograde FINALLY ends! On Thursday, Venus opposes hazy Neptune, then immediately enters Libra and creates a harmonizing trine with Pluto, the planet of transformation.
What that means:
Aries
On account of Mercury Retrograde + Venus in Virgo, your love life isn’t doing so hot right now. You’re more likely to bump into an ex than a new potential paramour, and if you’re already with someone, you’re getting lots of mixed signals. Mercury Retrograde ends on Wednesday, then Venus enters Libra on Thursday, and this almost instantly changes the vibe. Exes aren’t bugging you anymore, you and your partner are on the same page again, and finding love is becoming much easier. Enjoy!
Taurus
You’re approaching the last few days of Venus in your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun, so take advantage of it while you can! The Moon in your sign this weekend is great for romance. Venus’ connection with eccentric Uranus on Tuesday is an amazing transit for getting more adventurous in bed! The big problem this week is on Thursday, when Venus is opposite Neptune. If you’re crushing on someone or in a situationship, you’re getting tons of mixed signals. Hidden feelings and secrets are coming out now, and you’re being urged to clear the air. Things should begin to improve at the very end of the week, but if they don’t—or if the problems get worse—it’s a sign that maybe it’s time to take a step back.
Gemini
Mars in your sign cranks your sex drive all the way up, but the rest of the astro-weather isn’t doing much for your love life. You’re not finding many matches on your dating apps and it’s a bad idea to make plans to meet up with someone because they’re likely to ghost or forget to reply. There’s good news, though! Right after Mercury Retrograde ends, Venus enters Libra, one of its favorite signs. Venus is extra strong in Libra, and it activates your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun. Romance is easier to find, getting yourself a hot hookup is a breeze, and your love life is doing much much better!
Cancer
This weekend’s astro is nice for hooking up, starting a FWB situation with someone in your squad, and all things no-strings-attached. Serious relationships? Not so much. The sex is good—even great, thanks to the astro urging you to experiment—but when it comes to emotions, you and your partner are having a tough time opening up. Take this weekend to hang loose, act casual, and have a little fun. Venus’ entry into Libra at the end of the week brings all the romance you’ve been missing and strongly supports commitment.
Leo
Your love life is speeding up! Mercury has been retrograde in your sign for weeks, causing all sorts of trouble, but the retrograde finally ends on Wednesday. You’re starting to clear-headed again and the constant miscommunications are coming to an end. It’s an amazing time to get into full glam, go out, and find someone sexy. Your rizz is unmatched right now! Starting on Thursday, Venus in Libra is a fabulous time for all of you single Leos because it promises to attract tons of new potential paramours your way. Play your cards right, and you might end up having a new boo soon!
Virgo
This is the last weekend of Venus’s trek through your sign, so take advantage of this auspicious astro while you still can! All eyes are on you right now, you’re feeling more extroverted, and you’re meeting plenty of hotties looking for some fun. If you want to keep it casual, this is a great weekend for you. If you’re looking for love… not so much. Neptune is waving a huge red flag right now, warning you that there are manipulators and players trying to take advantage of you. Casual flings are great right now, but you can’t get your hopes up when it comes to anything serious. Don’t be surprised if you get ghosted after your hookup, or if they stand you up on that date. Sorry, bb. 🙁
Libra
Mercury Retrograde plus Venus’ journey through Virgo both indicate that you’re probably dealing with exes right now. Good news—those transits finally end this week, and then Venus moves into your sign on Thursday! Libra is one of Venus’ favorite signs, which is excellent news for you. Not only are you feeling more affectionate, but you’re also receiving way more love from other people, too. As a result, this encourages you to love yourself more, which helps you shine even brighter. You’re extra lucky when it comes to getting lucky, too. Whether you’re looking for love or just a little bit of fun, you’re getting lots of it!
Scorpio
This weekend’s Taurus Moon activates your chart’s relationships zone, making life in the bedroom spectacular! Venus in Virgo plays around with Uranus in Taurus on Tuesday, which suggests an encounter with a new potential paramour. Uranus is the planet of surprises, so this person might be from a totally different country or background than you, they might have kinky sexual proclivities, or they just might not be your usual type. Regardless, I say shoot your shot! Uranus doesn’t always support LTRs or stability, so this is most likely going to be a casual fling, but you never know—this new person might be your next S.O.
Sagittarius
You and your partner are finally clearing the air. Mercury Retrograde has been bringing the relationship drama, but this week’s Gemini Moon is helping you open up, talk things out, and meet in the middle. If you’re single and ready to mingle, you’re in luck this week. Venus moves into Libra on Thursday, activating one of the most social zones of your chart. For the next month-ish, you’re getting way more matches on your dating apps, scheduling at least one or two dates a week, and having zero trouble when it comes to hooking up. Don’t take things too seriously with your love life, though—Venus in Libra wants you to try new things, try new people, and have a good time!
Capricorn
Sex is really good right now. Like, really good. The Moon in Taurus this weekend activates your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun. On top of that, Venus in Virgo is harmonizing with Uranus this week, encouraging you to be more adventurous in bed. The Cancer Moon in the middle of the week is great for relationships in general, and you’re having a much easier time opening up to your partner. If you’re single, connecting with new people is much easier now, too. Venus moves into Libra, your chart’s Midheaven, at the end of the week. The Midheaven is the most public, extroverted part of your chart, so Venus wants you to put your love life on full display. Now’s the perfect time to DTR, hard launch your partner on social media, or even announce that you’re getting engaged!
Aquarius
This weekend’s astro is amping up your libido, and fiery Mars’ influence is helping you put yourself out there, find someone sexy, and have an amazing time in bed. Venus moves into Libra this week, activating your chart’s zone of adventure. This is a time to get experimental in bed, whether it’s throwing some extra dirty talk in or going all-in and pulling out some whips and chains. Pluto is in your sign, and it’s harmonizing with Venus at the end of the week—maybe it’s time to flex your dominant side? Have fun!
Pisces
Venus has been moving through Virgo in your chart’s relationships zone for the past few weeks, but on Thursday, you’re waving goodbye. Venus in Virgo was great for making new connections, dating, and maybe even starting a relationship, and things start to get more serious once the planet of love enters Libra. You really wanna lock it down now! You want closeness, intimacy, and commitment. This astro is great for DTRing, but here’s the problem: if you’re trying to stay casual, catching feelings for your fling is all but guaranteed. If you’re hooking up with someone, know that there’s big potential for heartbreak.
