It’s quite a week for you, love-wise, Aries. As the week kicks off, you have Jupiter in your love zone making all kinds of crazy connections to other planets. First, he trines Neptune in your very own sign. This is a strong indication of soulmate energy, Aries. If you have someone in your life already, get ready for it to feel – well – magical. You’re building dreams together, and it feels good. It doesn’t look like these are castles in the sky either, at least not while Saturn is also in your sign for the next year or two. If not coupled, you’re probably going to hold someone you like in high esteem – and vice versa. You’re seeing the best in them – it feels good.
Jupiter then lines up with Pluto, which is another story altogether, Aries. This brings a certain kind of intensity, depth and drama to love. You can either see this as power struggles, Aries, or as an opportunity to become a stronger team. Attractions run high – be careful that you are not giving away your power.
This week sees far more action in your family life than your love zone, Taurus. On one hand, things can feel delightfully dreamy, sweet, delicious, soft and ever so tender, whether with a partner or with your people at home. On the other, there’s some intensity that goes right along with this. You may find yourself disagreeing around a philosophical topic. This can feel – well – a little uncomfortable, Taurus. You or others are giving a great deal of pushback; power struggles can happen now, maybe due to jealousy or simple misunderstanding. Whether this is with your partner or people, stay aware, Taurus. Find a way to meet in the middle rather than the usual digging your heels in.
Fortunately, things change as Mercury moves out of retrograde and communication picks up. This planet will gently nudge Venus in your love sector, allowing for a kind-hearted and loving, forgiving conversation to take place. And if you’re single, this aspect gives you the opportunity to confidently connect with someone you like.
You’re one of the lucky ones this week, Gemini. Some of the more intense energies don’t even brush your romance sectors. Sure, you may be facing some difficulties in other areas – or perhaps simply a sense of pressure. Communication, for example, could take an interesting turn with the Jupiter-Pluto opposition. You may receive strong pushback on your ideas, whether via a partner or someone else. That doesn’t exactly put you in the best of moods, Gemini. Nevertheless, recognise that there is a way to agree – or agree to disagree. You don’t have to go to war. Open yourself up and you may find a new level of understanding and growth.
Your ruler, Mercury, goes direct at long last, which also helps to improve things towards the end of the week. If, for example, you’ve been battling finances or having arguments with your sweetheart, this is the signal that it’s all going to be smoothed out soon.
You’re likely to be dealing with big conversations about money this week, Cancer. This may or may not involve your partner. On one hand, you have some powerful, imaginative and creative vision that you wish to implement. Are these castles in the sky? Certainly not, Cancer. Rope your partner into the plan. Let them be a sounding board. If you’re concerned about the financial side of things, perhaps they can offer you a new perspective so that you can move out of pressure and into opportunity.
Next after this publicity
If you’re dealing with a separation, breakup or divorce, things could get a little intense this week, Cancer. It’s like a tennis match – back and forth you go. Who has the power? Who’s in charge? The more you move towards a middle ground, Cancer, the less problematic this will be. With Mercury going direct in your sign, it’s as if the scales are aligning for you, whatever your situation.
What a week, Leo. Get ready for some rumbles in the jungle – wins and losses are equally possible under these conditions. Firstly, the Jupiter-Pluto opposition happens right in your romance sector, igniting a push-pull of energies. The drama levels are potentially very high, depending on how you handle this. You might receive pushback for your personal beliefs and philosophies, which of course ignites your stubborn streak, Leo. Why wouldn’t you fight back? Yet the more you see this as a fight, the less opportunity you’re going to have to meet on a stable middle point with your beloved. Of course, you shouldn’t be bullied. At the same time, you don’t need to win either.
The week does improve as soon as the Sun enters your sign, indicating the start of your birthday season, Leo. It’s all about you now – forget about love for a minute. What do you want? Where do you see yourself going? Celebrate your independence, Leo. There’s only one you, after all.
The most notable energy this week for you, Virgo, is the direct movement of your ruler, Mercury. In Cancer, it’s been about learning to communicate in a way that isn’t resentful, passive-aggressive or loud. This isn’t your usual style, Virgo. You’re usually so clear and concise. Nevertheless, even you have your moments sometimes. No one is perfect, after all. This seems to have been specifically around how you want to be loved. Perhaps it’s not been coming out all that clearly, Virgo. No matter. What was said needed to be said. Don’t linger too long on what you can’t change. For now, focus on repair – that’s what truly counts, Virgo.
What supports repair is the link from Mercury to Venus, Virgo. With Venus in your sign, you’re feeling extra loving and romantic at the moment. It’s sweet. With Mercury’s support, you’re saying all the right things. Your mind is your most powerful asset. Use it.
This week is intense, Libra. There’s so much unfolding in your love zone that it could feel a little overwhelming. Separating each energy is the best way to tackle your love life, little by little. For the most part, Libra, things look good – very good. Jupiter and Neptune align across your long-term love sector, reflecting a soulmate-like feel, a sweet, tender energy. You’re being swept away on the wings of love, and it feels incredible, Libra – magical even. It’s easy to give someone the benefit of the doubt, even amongst some of the more intense energies at play – namely the Jupiter-Pluto opposition.
This, Libra, is where you might come undone. Be ultra careful not to sacrifice your needs, beliefs and desires for the sake of love. Power plays might unfold without you even being aware of the subtleties. If something feels off, Libra, address it. Talk about it. Saturn’s retrograde through Aries in your love zone supports growth, if you’re both willing to put in the work.
You’re also one of the lucky ones this week, Scorpio. Nothing much is going to touch your relationships, though you might be dealing with intense pressure in other areas of your world. Work, for example, may be blowing up, giving you less capacity for connection. Sometimes we just have to put love aside so we can bring focus to other things, Scorpio. Being single takes up a great deal of energy, especially when you’re out on the prowl. Put this to the side for a moment and give energy to the work you need to do, just for now. And if you feel like you’re facing difficulty or opposition, let your partner know what would feel supportive. Maybe you need space. Maybe you need to vent. Maybe you need a date night. Only you can know, Scorpio.
With Leo season arriving, be aware of your desire to be in the spotlight and take the lead. This can prove very attractive to those around you, Scorpio. If you’re single, get ready to be admired. Enjoy your newfound confidence.
This week sees two interesting alignments going on in your love sector, Sagittarius. The first of these is a Neptune-Jupiter connection. It brings about a deep sense of falling in love, profound spiritual connection and admiration of someone who seems to possess a well of knowledge. There’s nothing you find more attractive than wisdom, Sagittarius. Whether this is coming from an existing partner or someone new, you’ve got stars in your eyes. Lap it up, Sagittarius. Dream together. Speak about the things that matter. Take up meditation.
Next, you have the retrograde of Saturn in your romance sector too. That is a little trickier, Sagittarius. It reflects the need to learn some perhaps tough lessons around how much love you give, how much you receive, and how to have that balance. You may find it difficult to give as much as usual. There’s a reason for this – a good one. What do you need to learn around boundaries, do you think?
For the last few weeks, Capricorn, you’ve had to contend with Mercury’s retrograde in your relationship sector. Of course, this has brought about the usual communication difficulties and challenges. Maybe there’s even been an experience of exes reappearing. The learning here has been to resolve and find closure, Capricorn – to revisit certain topics in order to close the door on them, not necessarily to reignite a relationship. Yet if that’s what’s happened, Capricorn, then so be it. What have you learned about the last time, and how will it be different this time?
Now, looking ahead at Leo season, the Sun leaves your relationship sector but enters your intimacy zone. This ignites closeness between you and another, allowing you to feel supported and strong as a team. You might even contemplate starting a business together or potentially merging your resources in some way, shape or form. How exciting. You’ll love the chance to work together like this – just as long as you get to take the lead, of course.
Leo, your relationship sign, is being highly activated this week, Aquarius. In some ways, this can be deliciously dreamy, sweet and magical. On the other, things will be intense – there’s no way around that. Your partner, or someone you’re crushing on or dating, seems to take on a mystical glow. Everything they do feels inspiring, Aquarius – and you love to be inspired. They have big dreams and want you – yes you – to get involved. Do go ahead, Aquarius. What are you waiting for?
Now, with the Pluto-Jupiter opposition, you may want to completely take over or control the direction of your shared dreams and conversations. You have very valuable insight to offer, Aquarius, but be careful that you’re not dominating or squashing your other half. Find a way to meet in the middle. And be careful of becoming consumed in each other. Your unique identity is what attracts them to you in the first place. Merge – but know where you end and they begin.
The Sun leaves Cancer this week, Pisces, exiting your romance sector. It’s been delicious and real and sweet, even with Mercury retrograde right there. Luckily, Mercury is now moving direct, allowing relationships to feel more flowing and easeful. Any communication difficulties can now be smoothed over little by little. If you or your partner have been coming across as passive-aggressive, Pisces, this is the transit where you can admit your wrongs and begin to see eye to eye once again.
Your love area now remains quite still for a moment, Pisces, whilst you gather yourself and focus on work, health, wellness and rest. With so much focus on giving love to others, have you taken a minute to care for yourself, Pisces? Probably not. Next month you’ll move into a romance cycle again, so give yourself a little break. Connection and closeness can still feel wholesome and healthy as long as it’s balanced.
