For the most part this week is kind to your love life, Aries. You may be feeling a little self-doubtful or unsure of your words – unlike you – but even with this, you’re still probably going to enjoy your romantic experiences. See, Saturn in your sign receives a square from communicative Mercury, leading to serious conversations and uncertainty around your worthiness. Venus in Cancer, too, meets with Chiron in Aries, raising opportunities for healing from past hurts.
To balance these two out, Venus and Jupiter align in Cancer, soothing past experiences and opening up your heart, not to mention your emotions. Your domestic life should thus feel soft and gentle, Aries, despite the internal doubts and pain. By the weekend, everything looks up as Venus enters your romance sector. Here, you feel confident, flirtatious, passionate and alive. Chemistry between you and another should feel exciting, no matter how long you’ve been together. Go on dates. Woo each other. Play. Have fun, Aries.
Love is nurturing and comforting this week as your ruler, Venus, meets with Jupiter in a flowing, tender conjunction. Although this doesn’t occur in any of your love sectors, it does leave a delicious afterglow of pure yumminess. If you’re single, dive in deep with your friends and community. Have dinners together. Take a stroll down memory lane. Enjoy the feeling of being held in love and togetherness. We put so much emphasis on romantic relationships sometimes that we forget how important it is to look after the rest of the people in our world. Now’s your moment to appreciate, Taurus.
Moving on, Venus shifts into your domestic sector by the weekend, allowing for a warm, sweet mood to enter. If you’re coupled up, expect family and home life to vastly improve. Decorating together, entertaining and having family over are just some of the highlights you can look forward to, Taurus. You’re taking the lead here.
There’s a New Moon in your sign this week, Gemini. For you, this means a personal new beginning. If you’ve become recently single, celebrate this fortunate omen – it means you’re about to enjoy this period of your life over the next six months at least. Whether or not you meet someone, you should feel comfortable in your own skin and ready to start projects important to you. Relationships matter less now than they used to. It’s like a rebirth, Gemini.
If you’re in a relationship, then this is an important moment to differentiate and spend some quality time focused on what you personally desire in these coming weeks. Maybe you’ve been quite merged, Gemini, making it healthy to remember who you are and what you stand for. Communication improves on all fronts as Venus enters this zone; your banter and flirtatiousness pick up, Gemini. Have fun! Enjoy the surge of confidence and self-assurance. Have those steamy conversations.
Two aspects this week are a little tough on you, Cancer. Yet there’s one that makes up for it, so don’t lose heart. What you might need to work on is your perspective. Looking at love through a negative or too-serious lens may have you failing to enjoy what’s right in front of you. Be careful of allowing your inner critic to run the show. If others are being critical towards you – particularly those at work – take it in your stride without buying into their projections. This isn’t about you, Cancer.
Next after this publicity
With Venus and Chiron in a square, you may also be facing some emotional hurts around self-worth and being lovable, Cancer. Yet, seeing as Venus also unites with abundant, generous Jupiter, you’ll easily be able to tap into cosmic love and forgiveness, both for yourself and others. No matter how much you hurt inside, Cancer, you’re able to still give and receive love freely. What an interesting, beautiful space for you to be in, right?
Just wait for the weekend, Leo – that’s when everything gets yummy and spicy for you and your love life. Venus enters your sign then for the first time in about a year. You’ll soon be feeling extra attractive and loving. Yet there is a build-up towards this, so hold your horses. Venus and Jupiter first meet in a beautiful, nurturing conjunction in Cancer. This sign rules the sector of your chart linked to spiritual love, transcendent love, even loss.
So if you’ve had any recent heartbreaks, Leo, this is the sign you’re looking for that everything is going to be okay – that you can forgive and move on, that you can let go with grace even if it was a long time ago. This prepares you for the wonderful new chapter ahead of you. If you’re partnered, this may mean you’ll be able to make many willing sacrifices for your partner this week before moving on to focus on your own desires.
There are two outstanding themes unfolding for you this week, Virgo. One is the love and appreciation you receive from your social circles and friends – it’s considerable. The other is the love and appreciation you receive from your partner, if you have one. This is also magnified.
Being someone who’s a little shy in general, it may feel overwhelming to receive this much love and attention. Try to allow yourself to receive, Virgo. You really do deserve to be given gifts, hugs, support, time, energy and resources. You give so much without always realising it. Think of this as the scales balancing. If negative thoughts pop into your head about all of this, challenge them. Reframe them; don’t become caught up in “shoulds” and “coulds.” It won’t serve you. If anxious feelings arise, look at it with gentle compassion and kindness. Reach out and talk to someone if needed. You have a strong community around you – lean on them.
Once again, this week might prove a little difficult when it comes to love and relationships, Libra. There are two aspects forming: one is a square between your ruler Venus and Chiron. The other is a square between Saturn and Mercury. Both indicate your partner potentially going through something a little difficult, Libra. Maybe they’re down on themselves. Perhaps it’s old wounds surfacing that can prove difficult to navigate. This has likely been ongoing for some time – it’s not new, just intensified this week.
The question is: how do you navigate all of this? How do you deal with someone stuck in a negative thought pattern? You can help them reframe things, Libra. Offer a different perspective. While it may not “stick” right now, it may later down the line. For now, focus on your career and vocation – this will give you a sense of joy and purpose.
A New Moon unfolds this week in the realm of intimacy and deep connection, Scorpio. It could herald a beautiful new start in a current relationship, where you’re merging in some way – maybe moving in together, starting a joint bank account, even a business. Or you’re simply getting closer in other ways. Talking about things is a great way to kick the process off, Scorpio. It will take several months to unfold.
There’s another way this could manifest. If you’re thinking of ending things or have just gone through a breakup or divorce, Scorpio, this also supports that process. It’s time to untangle – gently and kindly, with a great deal of thought and conversation. Either way, this week begins an important process of change in love, Scorpio. To balance this intensity, the Venus-Jupiter conjunction allows for profound emotional growth and possibly even adventure with someone you adore. The spiritual connection is important here.
This week’s New Moon in Gemini is important for your relationships, Sagittarius. It indicates a whole new start. If you’re in the market and looking for love, then this time is about manifesting the type of person you most desire. Make a list, Sagittarius. Believe that it can happen for you – even if the next six months are telling.
Of course, this might also simply indicate a new start in an already existing relationship. You could be travelling together, or perhaps you’re enjoying kicking off cohabitation, starting a business or something else. Keep in mind that Uranus is also in this sector, resulting in the desire for more freedom. Craft your relationship around this, Sagittarius, and all will be well. You’re also going to love the ease of Venus through your adventure sector in the coming weeks. Travelling with your partner or exploring connection with someone from a different culture could be highly pleasurable.
The conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in your relationship sector smooths out any dramas, pain, or hassle caused by the squares in this same sector. Sure, your partner (or you) may be in a more difficult frame of mind, perhaps even a little negative than usual. Be careful of projecting worries onto your relationship that ultimately cause suffering, Capricorn – there’s no need for that. Have serious conversations, but remember to keep dropping into the abundance love generated by Venus and Jupiter. You adore each other. Demonstrate it through the way in which you nurture one another. Hug, hold, share your feelings, celebrate your joys – you’re a team, Capricorn.
If you’re single, you might have plenty of opportunities coming your way this coming week. Dip into the abundance without overthinking it, Capricorn. If you have a taste for dating more than one person, go for it. See how this feels. It’s just for fun anyway.
Gemini rules your romance sector, Aquarius, so the New Moon here bodes very well indeed for your dating life in these coming months. If you’re in the market to meet someone, this is perfect timing – it couldn’t be better, in fact. Get your dating shoes on and go out there to explore a little. Invite multiple options: you don’t need to settle on any single person for now. In fact, the more the merrier. This is how you learn discernment, Aquarius.
If you’re already coupled up, then this can be a lovely new start in your connection. It’s the kind of energy that could point to thinking about having children together or starting other creative projects. Your desire to express yourself at the moment is very strong, Aquarius, and you want your relationship to support this. You have all the time and energy in the world at the moment to give to your partner, in whatever way they need this week. Running errands, taking care of admin and other small things feel nurturing for both of you.
This week reveals the aspects you’ve been waiting for, Pisces. Venus and Jupiter come together in a nurturing conjunction, revealing an abundance of love and feeling for your beloved. There’s so much heart now, Pisces – you’re spilling over with the desire to demonstrate your care. Cooking meals, cuddling, shopping for presents, spending time with kids, or doing a creative project together feels deeply nurturing.
There are some potential hiccups – some of the other aspects remind you not to overthink things, Pisces. Not to project negative ideas onto your romantic situation, not to believe the worst even in your sweetest moments. Do whatever healing needs to be done, whether it’s related to self-worth, money, or intimacy. Shying away from the work only builds it up. Use that wholeheartedness to get even closer and share more. This energy is far more supportive than you might initially realise. Single? Date a little, Pisces. Options are everywhere.
