One of the most important transits of the year – Jupiter entering Leo – unfolds in your romance zone this very week, Aries. It’s been about twelve years since the last time Jupiter visited this area, making it a pivotal moment for your love life. If you’ve been single for some time, Jupiter’s blessing promises many golden opportunities for dating and falling in love. This planet of abundance will stay in your love sector for a year, Aries, so best you make the very most of it. You could meet someone very important in the times to come.
If you’re already in a relationship, Jupiter brings along opportunities for beautiful growth together. Perhaps you’ve wanted to embark on a creative project with your sweetie, or maybe it’s a case of wishing to conceive a child. Jupiter is a lucky charm, Aries – wish upon a star and you may get what you desire. One word of warning: don’t rush too fast into things this week, Aries, not until you’ve made sure you have the resources for it.
Did you know that you now have the transit of Chiron in your sign, Taurus? This is a major time for healing and breakthroughs, you know. Sometimes it won’t be easy – but it will be positive overall. This week, Jupiter’s entry into Leo amplifies this Chiron energy, making it even more important to look inside for self-love before you look outside, Taurus. Don’t worry – this will pass and you’ll find yourself better off for it.
Moving on, the presence of Jupiter in your domestic sector for the next year promises a lovely period of home and family. If you have a beloved, get cozy. Think about expanding your space, moving in together, meeting each other’s families and forming a deeper, stronger bond. You may even suddenly get the money you need, Taurus, seeing as Mars and Uranus meet in a startling conjunction this week, too. Be prepared to spend – and receive.
This week is wild, Gemini, so best you be prepared. The connection of Uranus to Mars in your sign promises sweeping change – in which direction, nobody really knows. Uranus is completely unpredictable energy, it’s the energy of the Rebel, the change-maker, the maverick and the instigator. You may suddenly decide that it’s time to break away from the norm, whether that’s your long-term relationship or something else. Be careful, Gemini – this energy is ever so exciting right now, but may have you sitting with deep regret later on. If you need an adrenaline rush, try a new activity instead of upending your life and relationships.
One thing to keep in mind is if you have been in a dead-end relationship for a long while, this is a great moment to break away – you have the courage. But if it’s not broken already, if it’s salvageable and there’s love, find something else to throw your energy into, Gemini.
Mercury, planet of communication, goes retrograde in your sign this week, Cancer. It’s been a long while since you’ve received a transit like this. So, if you find yourself backtracking on a particular idea, doubting yourself and your mind, unsure about where to go with a relationship, don’t worry – this is just a period for you to reflect. It’s certainly not a time for decisions. If you make up your mind now to break up with your partner, you’ll probably change your mind in a few weeks. For now, stay quiet, review, journal, talk to a counsellor or friend.
Next after this publicity
You’re also waving goodbye to Jupiter’s presence in your sign for the last year, so you might feel a little flattened. Nevertheless, you can still ride this wave of luck and bounce, Cancer. Whether you’ve been lucky in love or elsewhere, keep building. You’re in a generous, abundant space for the next year when it comes to money, spending on your love, enjoying life together – this is what it’s all about.
It’s one of the biggest weeks of the year for you, Leo. You see, you have the transit of Jupiter in your very own sign, reflecting major opportunities and personal growth. This has very little to do with your love life, in all honesty – it’s about you, Leo. You and no one else. If you’re feeling a need to stretch your wings wide, your relationship will need to accommodate this growth. You need a partner who is happy to stand back and simply admire you, Leo. If they envy you, the partnership just won’t work out, as simple as that.
A potential issue to watch out for might also be miscommunication, Leo. With Mercury going retrograde, you might ruminate or overthink things without sharing them fully with your beloved. Things could come out sideways, confused, misunderstood. Think about writing letters instead of attempting half-hearted conversations, Leo. It’s better that way, and avoid pining over your ex. They’re your ex for a reason.
This week’s Full Moon in Capricorn is important for you, Virgo. It falls directly in one of the sectors connected to love and relationships, bringing some kind of culmination or closure to this area. Maybe you’re choosing now whether you’d prefer to stay friends or remain lovers, maybe you’re looking at whether you’ve been receiving as much as you’ve been giving or vice versa. It’s important that you feel secure, Virgo – without that, you’ll feel insecure and uncomfortable. You need your partner to be both emotionally and materially secure to feel happy and content. This is a time of choice and understanding, Virgo, of throwing out what has not worked and learning what has.
With your ruler, Mercury, going retrograde in your love-received zone, be sure to communicate clearly what it is you need to feel adored and cherished. If you’re not communicating, Virgo, then you can’t really hold your sweetie to blame. This is on you.
There’s one very strong alignment this week for your love life, Libra. It’s nothing short of intense, deep and profound. It indicates a kind of obsession – maybe with the partner you have, maybe with someone new. There’s something about them that screams wisdom, worldliness and power. You’re like a moth to a flame – you can’t help but be magnetised by their energy. You might be wondering to yourself if this is dangerous. Is it?
Not necessarily, Libra. The kind of astrology around this aspect says that it’s a delicious kind of obsession, a chemistry-filled attraction that seems more positive than problematic. It’s only an issue if, for example, you’re already involved with someone else or if you’re giving your power away. If that’s the case, Libra, take notice and gently untangle yourself. You don’t need drama in your life right now, do you? Focus instead on your friendships – your circle is about to get a whole lot bigger. The love you’re going to receive will make you feel cherished, adored and special. Who needs romance?
There are decisions to be made this week, Scorpio, what with the Full Moon illuminating this sector of your astrology chart. Now, these choices don’t necessarily centre around your relationship. But they might. If you haven’t been happy for some time, Scorpio, this Full Moon’s light gives you some clarity around the type of conversation you need to have.
Now, there’s a spanner in the works. Mercury does go retrograde this week, making these conversations quite difficult. It’s best to sit tight with these thoughts, Scorpio, until things become a little clearer. You might have disagreements around your basic philosophies, creating all kinds of problems. The thing is, Scorpio, you’re not going to see eye to eye until this retrograde has passed by. Take everything that’s being said with a pinch of salt. Make no judgements until you feel calmer. With the Mars-Uranus conjunction, try not to make any split-second decisions about your relationship for a while. At least a week, minimum.
Once again, this week is all about the Mars transit in your relationship sector, Sagittarius. There are two major aspects being made, one being a conjunction between Mars and Uranus and the other being a trine between Mars and Pluto. The first indicates sudden, unexpected change in your love life. This can feel exciting, but be careful of doing something you might regret, Sagittarius. Freedom is important to you, but don’t let this come in the way of a good relationship. Negotiate what freedom and space mean to you before you throw in the towel. Be aware, too, Sagittarius, of explosions of rage or feeling, whether on your part or theirs. Again, it might feel good in the moment to express your feelings, but it could damage a beautiful connection.
On the other hand, the Mars-Pluto trine indicates a strong, irresistible attraction to someone’s mind – an existing partner or maybe someone new. You love a great conversation, Sagittarius, so go ahead and indulge yourself fully. This feels delicious.
There’s a Full Moon in your sign this week, Capricorn. It feels important, meaningful. It certainly sheds a strong light on your relationships and asks you whether you’re still happy and content with this person. Are your needs being met? Do you feel safe and secure? Is your nervous system at rest? Their desires are just as important, Capricorn. They also need to feel comfortable and happy. The Full Moon is all about balance and negotiation. Any relationship is salvageable with enough love, willingness and effort. Meeting in the middle and finding a win-win is how you enjoy each other in the long term. Jupiter also leaves your relationship sector after a full year this week. His legacy is a warm, fuzzy feeling. Things should be good, Capricorn, as long as you keep all communication clear and kind. Mercury retrograde in your relationship sector could challenge you, so make sure not to decide right away. Talk, review, reflect and renew – that’s your love advice this week.
Two aspects that Mars makes this week are powerful for your love life, Aquarius. The first of these is a Mars-Uranus conjunction in your romance and dating sector. This brings incredible excitement, a desire for something new and different. You’re eager to get out of your comfort zone, whether true in an established relationship or something brand-new, Aquarius. If you’re with someone, find new ways to enjoy each other. Don’t go to the same place over and over again. Get to know each other as if you were someone brand-new to each other. Make it work for you. Above all, don’t leap out of the relationship just because something better might present itself. It’s tempting, Aquarius, but might end in tears.
Secondly, the Mars-Pluto trine could make for a powerful, deep, irresistible attraction towards someone, your existing lover or someone new. You simply can’t hold back, Aquarius, so go ahead and dive right in. Enjoy all the deliciousness that comes from an immense physical connection. Yummy!
Say goodbye to Jupiter as he leaves your relationship sector this week and makes his home in a new area of your astrology chart, Pisces. You may have had a big love come into your life this last year, or maybe experienced a beautiful improvement in the love you already have. Whatever’s unfolded for you, it’s time to enjoy that afterglow. Especially seeing as Mercury now goes retrograde in this area, making you wonder if indeed things were as good as they seemed not so long ago. Be careful of allowing doubt to cloud your mind, Pisces. Take hold of your thoughts and focus on the positive.
Moreover, there’s a Full Moon that touches this area too, making it even more tempting to want to make some kind of important decision. Treat this as an opportunity to simply see the light – to see what’s worked and what hasn’t. And where you need to have a little more balance, Pisces. See? Not so bad after all.
