What’s happening: The Sun is opposite Neptune tonight, so your weekend begins with a hazy, emotional vibe. This is a time where veils are lifted, and if you’ve been ignoring red flags or neglecting your relationship, all of the drama is coming to light. Mercury squares off with Jupiter on Saturday, giving you an optimistic mindset. Sunday is busy: Venus enters Scorpio, Libra season begins, the Sun starts harmonizing with Pluto, and Venus squares off with Pluto. This all suggests major changes to your relationship.
Mercury is trine Uranus on Tuesday, meaning surprise encounters are likely to happen. Then on Wednesday, Mercury is opposite Neptune, repeating the strange vibe you felt at the start of the weekend. Finally, on Thursday, Mercury enters the most relationship-oriented sign, Libra. This is a great time to meet someone new, start the DTR talk, or upgrade your relationship!
What that means for *you*:
Aries
This week, the Sun and Mercury are both entering Libra, activating your chart’s zone of relationships. Whether it’s a hookup, speed dating, or just getting closer with your boo, this is the best time of year for starting strong relationships and strengthening your already-existing bonds. Venus’s movement into Scorpio this weekend suggests that flings aren’t your top priority—right now, you’re looking for something committed. Emotions are running high right now and you’re able to show tons of passion for your partner, but catching major feelings for a hookup is also a big risk.
Taurus
Someone’s been wasting your time, and their trickery is coming to light this weekend. If you’ve been picking up on mixed signals or feeling like your partner has been acting weird, it’s not all in your head—something here isn’t quite adding up. Venus enters your chart’s relationships zone on Sunday, so this is a great time for getting closer to your boo or even starting a new relationship, but first, you have to figure out what’s wrong. Feelings like jealousy or resentment, as well as hidden secrets in your relationship, are coming to light this week. Use Venus’s help to meet your partner in the middle and find a way to work together to solve the problem, then agree to not leave each other in the dark anymore.
Gemini
There’s a bit of stressful astro-weather this week, but your love life’ is unscathed. In fact, Libra season is a phenomenal time for your love life! Starting this week, you’ll have both the Sun and Mercury lighting up your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun. Hookups are easier to find, sex is even better, and romance feels much more meaningful. As fun and exciting as this astro is, Venus’ movement into Scorpio puts a damper on things. You’re still able to have fun, hook up, and fool around, but Venus in Scorpio wants you to take on a more practical perspective. Sure, a fling can be fun, but is it lasting? If fun and games is all you’re interested in, no worries. But if you’re looking for something serious, you won’t find love until you start seriously looking for love.
Cancer
All of the planetary action in Libra this week makes you feel more introverted than usual, and leaving the house to find some baddies to hook up with definitely isn’t a priority right now. Any action you get will most likely come in the form of a Netflix and chill session, because you really aren’t interested in leaving the house. Venus in Scorpio promises to make sex hotter and make romance more passionate and intense. You might be rarely leaving your room, but it’s only because your bed is getting so much action!
Leo
Making new connections is easier than ever with all of the Libra energy in the air. If you’re single, get ready to do a lot of mingling! This weekend’s vibe is great for casually flirting and making new connections, but when Venus enters Scorpio on Sunday, you decide you want something more real, passionate, and intense. Finding a hookup isn’t a problem right now, but you might not feel fully satisfied afterwards. Learn that passion and intensity isn’t just for the bedroom—a lasting relationship is built on passion and intensity for each other, not just a strong attraction and great sex.
Virgo
Turn up the Sabrina Carpenter, because it’s been slim pickin’s for you lately and you might be feeling a wee bit desperate. Desperate enough to lower your standards. Be careful who you open up to this weekend. Players, cheaters, and manipulators are taking notice of your need for connection. If you’re in a relationship already, this is not the time for starting any important conversations with your partner. You’re both overly emotional, unable to listen clearly, and miscommunicating. If any arguments break out, agree to take a step back until you’re both clear-headed—tiny squabbles can easily become big fights right now.
Libra
This is the final weekend of Venus’s stay in your sign. Making new connections is easier, you’re a pro at flirting, and sex is way more intense right now. Take advantage of these good vibes while you still can! Virgo season’s influence brought exes back around, but with the Sun now entering your sign (happy birthday, btw), this is a time of new beginnings! Crappy old relationships are falling apart and new relationships are starting. The people you meet and bonds you form right now promise to have lasting significance!
Scorpio
Make up your mind, Scorpio!!! You’re not sure exactly what you want from your love lif, and it’s starting to show. Whether it’s a situationship or a LTR partner, another person in your love life is starting to detect that you’re sending mixed signals, and they’re not too thrilled. Venus enters your sign this weekend, and this is a great time for you to stop, focus, and really decide what it is you want from your love life. It won’t be easy, because all the Libra astro-weather revving up this week is encouraging exes and people from your past to come back around. You’re dealing with the past and thinking about your future this week. Make sure you’re not neglecting the present in the meantime.
Sagittarius
Venus’s move into Scorpio this weekend activates your chart’s 12th House. This means that old lovers and ex-flames are coming out of the woodwork and you’re being urged to deal with your past. Some of them could be good exes that you parted amicably with, in which case you may be able to start fresh or move forward as friends. If you’re facing a particularly shitty ex, this is your opportunity to say what you need to say and find closure. Mercury square Jupiter this weekend gives you an optimistic mindset, but it may be a little too optimistic. Don’t automatically assume that the exes coming back around all have good intentions. Neptune’s interference this week suggests that some of them don’t. Be discerning.
Capricorn
You’re thinking long and hard about who is and isn’t worth your time this week. Look at the state of your love life and be real with yourself. Are things running smoothly? If you’re in a healthy, balanced relationship, you have nothing to worry—as a matter of fact, this is a great time to try new things and get more adventurous in bed! But if your love life isn’t in the best shape, the cracks in the foundation are becoming blatantly apparent, and you’re being asked to deal with them. If you decide that your current squeeze isn’t doing it for you, part ways with them. Venus in Scorpio gives you nearly a month to make new connections, so getting a rebound or a replacement won’t be tough at all.
Aquarius
Emotions are running high this weekend. You feel like you love your partner more than ever. Hookups are exciting, hotter than ever, and loads of fun. Finding a date is a breeze, and you’re feeling amazing chemistry from the first time you meet. This is all well and good, but you run the risk of rushing things. Just because you’re infatuated with a new crush doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the LOYL. Just because things are going great in your month-long relationship doesn’t necessarily mean that you should move in together. Let things progress at a natural pace, because trying to move too quickly can end up pushing the other person away. Don’t force it!
Pisces
As Venus enters your chart’s zone of adventure this weekend, you’re taking on a more positive mindset towards your love life. If you’re single, it’s easier to put yourself out there and you’re more comfortable connecting with people who aren’t your usual type. If you’re taken, you’re feeling more flirtatious, experimenting more in bed, and trying new things with your partner. Go somewhere brand new for date night, take a surprise day trip together, or get super kinky in bed! This added variety is spicing up your love life, and I encourage you to include as much newness and excitement as you possibly can.
