What’s happening: The Moon is entering social Aquarius later this afternoon, which means it’s a great weekend for making new connections. And Sunday’s busy! First, the Moon enters dreamy Pisces that day, and then Mercury squares off with intense Pluto. Immediately afterward, Mercury enters fiery Sagittarius, and the Sun harmonizes with lucky Jupiter, which will give you a more open, curious mind.
On Monday, Venus gets into a fight with unpredictable Uranus, but then creates a gentle connection with romantic Neptune on Tuesday. Finally, next Thursday, Venus leaves Scorpio (a sign that isn’t particularly welcoming to Venus) and enters Sagittarius, where it can have way more fun!
What that means for *you*:
Aries
If you’re single, this is a great weekend for going out to meet some hotties, or to start swiping right on your dating apps—you’ll get tons of matches. But if you’re in a relationship, or even just a situationship, there’s potential drama afoot. Mercury’s influence is intensifying your thoughts and feelings right now. It’s also causing you to go deep and unearth all of the emotions you bury down, both good and bad. If there are any secrets you’re keeping from your partner, or hidden feelings of jealousy/resentment (or if your partner’s feeling this way) they’re being brought to light now. Luckily, Jupiter is here to save the day! Jupiter’s influence is expansive, further amplifying your thoughts and feelings, but it is also an optimistic planet. Instead of fighting things out, try to find a way to work with your partner to solve any problems that get brought up. And keep a positive mindset. At the end of the week, Venus in Sagittarius will make you feel more hopeful and bright about romance, and wants you to turn your love life into an adventure. So much better things are coming!
Taurus
Work has been taking over your life big time lately, but Mercury’s ingress into Scorpio this weekend will clear up your schedule, giving you some time to focus on your love life. If you have a partner, Mercury’s auspicious influence is great for DTR-ing or upgrading your relationship in some other way. There are plenty of opportunities for romance on Tuesday, so it’s a great day to schedule a first date, but Uranus’ influence is demanding that you take the first step. You can’t wait for them to approach you—if you want any action, you’re the one who needs to send the first message, approach that hottie at the bar, or hit up your crush. Shoot your shot!
Gemini
There’s been a weird blend of astro-weather in your chart lately. On one hand, all of the Libra action is amping your libido, making you more extroverted, and encouraging you to make your love life more fun and sexy. But on the other hand, the planetary action in Scorpio is intense, and doesn’t really want to have fun—it wants you to look at relationships from a more practical, serious perspective. The result? When you casually hook up, the lack of an emotional connection will make you really feel some type of way. But when you take things slow or focus on romance, you begin to really miss all the excitement and fun of getting laid. Venus’s entry into Sagittarius at the end of the week will activate your chart’s zone of relationships, so all of the back-and-forth and confusion in your love life will be resolved very soon. You have a more level-headed, balanced perspective of your love life now, and you’re more able to feel satisfied when it comes to sex and romance in your relationships. This is also a great time to start dating, defining relationships, or even get engaged!
Cancer
There’s a lot of hot, sexy energy in your horoscope, Cancer! All of the planetary action in sensual Scorpio is lighting up your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun, and it’s making life in the bedroom better than ever! Dating is supported with this weekend’s astro, but hookups are even more supported right now! This energy is all about being casual, hanging loose, and having fun. Tuesday’s astrology is much more romantic. It’ll encourage you to go deep with your partner and connect on a more meaningful, significant level. And the super sexy vibe from the weekend fully dies down when Venus enters Sagittarius on Thursday. This Venus transit encourages you to get curious and try new things with your love life (in and out of bed) but it also wants you to take a much more serious approach to romance.
Leo
This weekend’s Aquarius Moon activates your chart’s relationship zone, so whether you’re going on a first date, having a super hot hookup, or just hanging out with your boo, being with another person in any regard is time well spent! Mercury enters Scorpio on Sunday, allowing you deeper access to your emotions. It’ll also make you much better at opening up about your feelings. At the same time, the good vibes coming from Jupiter are focusing on some of your chart’s most social zones, so it’s a great time for you single Leos out there to meet a potential lover! Venus’s entry into Sagittarius at the end of the week is by far the sexiest transit of all time, so things in the bedroom are about to get hotter than ever!
Virgo
Because work is kicking your ass, there’s little time for fun and games this weekend. But on Sunday the Moon enters Pisces, your chart’s relationship zone, which gives you more time to focus on your love life. You’re feeling a sense of longing at the top of the week, and you’re more eager (or desperate) to connect with someone special. As a result, you might lower your standards in order to find someone, anyone, to get close to. This could lead to you linking up with the first person to slide into your DMs, even if they’re gross, weird (in a bad way), manipulative, or just a shitty person that you’d normally never spend time with. Don’t lower your standards! Know your worth! You’ll be turning a lot of people down, but that’s okay, because the astro-weather in the middle of the week is much nicer, and suggests that great new connections are easily coming your way.
Libra
It’s a good time to have a good time! The Aquarius Moon lasts almost all weekend long, and it’s lighting up your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun. Whether it’s a date, a hookup, or a kickass time in bed with your boo, you can definitely count on getting some action this weekend. Your love life has been a bit slower than usual, thanks to Venus in Scorpio, but at the end of the week, things will start to pick up the pace. That’s because Venus is entering Sagittarius, an extroverted, excited, confident, and sometimes wild sign that’s very compatible with you. Brand new people from all different walks of life are coming your way now, and you’re finding yourself more attracted to people who aren’t your usual type. Try something (or someone) new, and you’ll have loads of fun!
Scorpio
There’s a little bit of potential trouble at the top of the week. The Pisces Moon really, really puts you in the mood, and you’re feeling very turned on. At the same time, Mercury is squaring off with Pluto, and in your chart that may suggest an ex coming back around. Don’t let your overactive genitals coax you into a hookup with them, and don’t let your eager heart try to pull them back into your life—this is a time for closure. Mercury entering your sign wants you to make new connections and focus on the future, so spend this time cutting toxic past connections out of your life, not reeling them back in. What’s the condition of your love life? The astro-weather from Uranus suggests big surprises. If you and your partner are doing great together, the surprise will likely be positive. If your relationship is wobbly and skating on thin ice, however, there could be some big, baaaaad news coming your way.
Sagittarius
Venus’ transit through Scorpio over the past several weeks has taken you on several trips down memory lane—you’ve been dealing with exes, unearthing trauma from old relationships, and moving on from your past. It’s been heavy emotional labor, but this week, things have finally started to look up! The good vibes from Jupiter at the top of the week are spectacular for single Sagittarians, and will help you to meet new people and seamlessly connect with them. At the end of the week, Venus enters your sign, which is one of *the* best transits for your love life. You’re absolutely radiating Venusian vibes right now—you’re looking good, feeling great, and people can’t help but want to get to know you. Basically, you’re a total babe magnet now!
Capricorn
There isn’t a ton of action coming your way this weekend, unfortunately. Venus in Scorpio’s influence is attracting new connections, which is great for all y’all single Capricorns, but the vibe is more platonic, not romantic. That being said, the astro-weather happening on Monday and Tuesday is really shaking things up in your love life! If you’re single, you might see someone at the bar or match with someone on Tinder that isn’t your normal type, but you’re still very attracted to them. Approach them! Neptune’s lovely influence all but guarantees you’ll be able to deeply connect with them almost instantly. If you’re already boo’d up, Uranus’ influence wants you to get kinky! Just a heads up, though—make sure you talk things out with your partner before you pull out the whips, ropes, and chains. Uranus’ influence is eccentric and thrilling, but it also makes you more likely to act before thinking, and do things in excess. Venus enters Sagittarius at the end of the week, which slows things down a ton with your love life. You’re not looking forward much right now. Instead, you’re looking to the past, revisiting old relationships, and maybe even running into an ex or two.
Aquarius
The Moon is in your sign this weekend, helping you to open up and share your feelings, so this is a great time for romance! Venus is in intense Scorpio right now, and it’s been putting a lot of pressure on your love life, so this more gentle influence is a nice change from what you’ve been experiencing. Monday’s Jupiterian vibes are making you feel more optimistic about love, and you’re more eager to connect and have fun with other people. This astrology is also pretty sexy, and you’re feeling way more curious in bed, so it’s a great time to get kinky! At the end of the week, Venus moves into Sagittarius. This is one of the most social transits for your sign, and plenty of new connections are coming your way! If you’re single, this is amazing news, but keep in mind that Venus in Sagittarius isn’t super romantic—it’s more platonic. That being said, it’s an amazing time for hooking up or starting a friends-with-benefits situation!
Pisces
You’re feeling pretty lonely this weekend, unfortunately, and even more unfortunately, getting laid is pretty much off the table. Once the Moon enters your sign on Sunday afternoon, the vibe is much nicer, and it’s a great transit for opening up and getting romantic with someone special. Because of that, I’d recommend that all you single Pisces out there avoid hooking up. Even if you’re just looking for a fling, getting intimate with someone else right now is all but guaranteed to result in you catching feelings. There’s always the possibility they’ll catch feelings, too, but I really wouldn’t count on it. At the end of the week, Venus enters Sagittarius, and it urges you to take your love life more seriously. Hookups aren’t quite as appealing anymore. Instead, you’re more focused on dating, defining relationships, and committing to someone.
