It’s a great week for love, Aries. Your ruler, Mars, shifts into a highly communicative sector of your Astrology chart, whilst Venus and Saturn align to reflect a stable kind of love. So, whichever way you look at it, Aries, you’re golden. If you’re in a committed relationship, it’s likely to become even more so – because of what you yourself are initiating. You’re the one who wants to lock it down, Aries. Despite what people think of you, you’re someone who is deeply loyal and will fight to the death for your partner – once you’re in love. This week, step up and show them that you mean business, Aries. It’s sexy.
If you’re single, then a casual connection may become something a little more. Again, this is because you’re ready for stability, Aries. Go ahead and see what happens when you show up with your heart in your hand. Mars in Gemini ensures strong communication – just make sure it doesn’t spill over into conflict.
Mars finally exits your sign this week, Taurus. It’s been a good two months of sexy, assertive energy. Have you noticed how people have been responding to you lately? How they’ve been drawn to you, magnetised to you? You have Mars to thank for that. Ride the wave as long as you can, because now’s when it all changes.
What supports this transition is the trine between your ruler, Venus, and Saturn. If you’re already with someone, it’s a period where you’re stepping up in terms of your living situation, Taurus. Maybe you’re open to taking on bigger responsibilities here, or maybe you’re even discussing cohabitation. Perhaps you’re helping them with family obligations, which feels satisfying in and of itself. Whatever it is, it’s pleasurable in a dutiful kind of way. And if you’re negotiating some kind of ending, it could be painful, sure, but certainly for the best. You’re stepping into maturity, Taurus – and this is what counts.
Mars gallops into your sign this week, Gemini. This is the first time this transit has happened for about two years, so best you make the most of it. Mars, seeing as it rules passion and chemistry, brings with him a sexiness that’s impossible to resist. Whether you’re attached or in a relationship, you’re likely to draw all kinds of attention towards you. Work it, Gemini. Flirt, banter, take the initiative – if there’s someone you really like, let them know exactly how you feel. Your assertiveness is attractive – to the right people.
To some, this assertion might come across as aggression. You might even come across as combative, Gemini, so be careful that your words don’t get lost in translation, that you don’t end up walking all over people, even if your intentions are good. Luckily, some other alignments ensure that you’ll take responsibility for what you say. You’re willing to put your money where your mouth is.
You’re not feeling all that sure of yourself this week, Cancer. The square between the Sun and Neptune reflects a misty kind of quality, one in which you’re almost too easily influenced by other people, most especially your romantic relationship. Boundaries might feel hard to come by with this alignment. But, this is how we learn, Cancer. We trip up, fall over our own two feet and understand what needs to be done better next time. So, if you ‘fail’, Cancer, dust yourself off and start again. And avoid making your partner the source of the problem – how are they supposed to act if they don’t know your boundary?

What’s more, Mars enters a hidden sector of your chart, making it even more important to tune into your desires and figure out what it is that you truly desire. If you bury your needs, it’ll only backfire on you. It’ll come out in highly aggressive (or passive aggressive) ways that just don’t solve the problem.
Once again, Venus in Leo is very much on your side this week. Her one and only aspect – a trine to Saturn – is highly stabilising, not only for you, but also for your relationships. It’s a maturity aspect. If you’re single, this is the kind of energy that brings a deeper wisdom to your situation. You’re not willing to ‘run after’ anyone that doesn’t reciprocate your love. You’re also not willing to settle, at all. The feeling of being able to be alone is strong, you don’t need anyone other than yourself, as well as your spirituality. This proves to be a guiding force right now, Leo, so lean on it.
What might also come into play is the desire to travel or take some kind of journey alone. Even if you are in a relationship, Leo, there’s the sense that you need to do this thing solo. Love will be right there when you return, wiser and more mature. Trust. And even if you don’t know exactly what journey you need to take yet, have faith that the way will appear.
With Venus in a sector of your chart that relates to hidden desire and yearning, you might have become the victim of a love you can’t necessarily have. This doesn’t mean it’s an unpleasant experience. It’s a learning curve. If you are involved, the level of sacrifice you’re willing to make is admirable – but maybe also not entirely necessary.
This week offers a reality check. If you’ve been giving a little too much, now would be the time to set healthy limits. To draw all that love and giving energy back towards yourself. If you feel a little lonely, embrace it, Virgo, you’ll soon find that this transforms into a beautiful solitude and a deep valuing of your inner world. When you feel stable inside like this, you set yourself up for wonderful relating – now or in the future. And if you’re experiencing loss, don’t worry about it – this, too, will transform.
Things feel pretty good in the love department lately, Libra. You can say with confidence that you feel safe and held this week, even if you have been moving through recent challenges. These challenges aren’t going to change, not with both Saturn and Neptune moving through your connection sector. However, this week links Venus, your ruler, and Saturn to reflect a deeper, more grounded and committed energy. This could simply mean you coming closer to your existing partner or enjoying this feeling in a new connection. The desire, overall, is for stability. And that’s what you’re going to get. Libra, what’ll be good for you both is to spend time with a like-minded community of friends this week, as well as to work towards a tangible goal alongside each other.
Mars, planet of lust and passion, moves through your growth sector, bringing a desire to expand your horizons. For singletons, this is very useful for casting your net wide and seeing who comes along. For those involved, think about new activities you and your partner can do that’ll grow your world.
Mars has been travelling through your relationship sector for quite some time now, Scorpio – around two months to be exact. This has had a number of effects. Passion and chemistry have been at an all-time high, making it impossible to keep your hands off each other. Sensuality has been a huge driver in all your relationships, committed or otherwise.
On the other hand, Mars is also the war planet. Tensions have also run high, with potential fights brewing under the surface, exploding every now and then. Passive aggression might have come up, making it difficult to communicate what’s actually going on. Now that Mars is heading into Gemini, talking does become easier, especially around intimate topics, including money and vulnerability. Still, there’s an edge, Scorpio. Be careful you don’t get into verbal battles. Focus on winning – together. If you’re wanting to be vulnerable, do it gently. Mars has a tendency to want to go to battle. You don’t need that.
Mars, planet of both desire and war, marches into your relationship sector where he’ll stay for about two months, Sagittarius. This brings up a few themes: chemistry, passion, sensuality, communication. These can all be highly positive energies. It brings along the potential to connect with others on a mental level. This alone leads to a deeper connection, a stronger desire for each other.
Now, there is a catch. Mars is also the planet of war. Be aware, Sagittarius, that you could also easily enter a major clash. Or a few. After all, this is a two-month transit. Be very careful of how you use your words, Sagittarius. They could harm or heal. It’s fun to banter – until someone gets truly hurt. Fortunately, the Saturn-Venus trine indicates stability, at least this week, commitment is sure. Sagittarius, lean into it. Love feels both fun and responsible. It takes work, but in the end it’s all worth it.
It’s been a fun and playful few weeks with Mars travelling through your romance sector. Keep riding this wave. Enjoy the increased closeness between you and a partner. Let that translate into a shared daily life with one another. Whilst Mars has given you a great side of passion, it’s also led to some tension and even conflict. That’s being left behind now too, Capricorn. Time to focus on work instead of pleasure.
The trine between your ruler, Saturn, and Venus, reflects a readiness to take greater relationship responsibility. Financially speaking, this can prove productive for you and your beloved. You’re eager to merge even more, share resources, build a home together and so forth. This is where you feel safest and most secure, Capricorn. You enjoy making your partner feel supported and taken care of in practical ways, you also appreciate it when you feel the same energy from them. Think of this as a highly stabilising week for love and relating, Capricorn.
Mars, planet of passion and primal desire, shifts into your romance sector for the next two months, Aquarius. It’s been about two full years since his last visit here, making this an important turning point for your relationships. New goals can be set, whether together or when it comes to the kind of relationship you want in the future. If you’re single, Aquarius, this is the ideal setup for flirting, banter and new connections. Go on – get out there and connect. If you’ve been resistant to dating apps, then find other places and spaces to be with others. Take the initiative. Your energy right now is saucy and sexy, trust it.
If you’re with someone already, the link between Saturn and Venus in your commitment sector solidifies the relationship. It makes you want to talk about the future with each other. To set shared goals that work. Serious conversations make you feel safer as a team.
Be careful in how you handle family dynamics in these coming weeks, Pisces. With Mars being in your home sector, there’s the chance you might quickly enter a verbal battle. It’s not like you, for sure, but then again you’re not a saint, even you have your moments. If you find that someone is bullying you – a partner, a family member – don’t hesitate to stand up for yourself.
On the upside, this can be great energy for moving in together or making your home a strong base. You might even feel quite energised, Pisces, so go ahead and do all the DIY projects with your partner. It’s bonding – as long as you don’t get into an argument over paint colours. Venus’ energy supports harmony in your family life, so you shouldn’t have too many problems there. The more you’re willing to tackle things like finances and tasks together, the better things will go for you.
