Almost all the cosmic action is happening right in your romance sector this week, Aries. The best way to approach this is to unpack things, layer by layer. First up, you have the Sun-Pluto position, signifying intensity, possibly even jealousy, power struggles and no small amount of drama. Yet, if you approach this consciously, Aries, you might find that you transform these shadows into something far better: depth, meaning and powerful bonding. You see, the Sun then meets with Mercury to indicate a forgiving energy, a softness, and the ability to see through the masks that your lover wears. You’re getting into their soul, and it feels good.
By the time the week ends, you’re sitting with a powerful Sun-Jupiter conjunction here, allowing your heart to expand with joy, love and happiness. The Full Moon in Aquarius brings it all to a climax. You’ll see where you’ve gone wrong – and what can go right.
There’s one main aspect for you this week, Taurus. Your ruler, Venus, is currently moving through your love and dating sector. So far, it’s been good. You’ve been passionate yet discerning, picky yet romantic, playful, sensual and eager to share love. This week, Venus meets with Mars in a tricky square aspect, which can bring along tension and conflict. At the same time, it feels kind of delicious, Taurus. This is the aspect classically known to show love triangles. Even if you are someone who is deeply loyal – no doubt – this energy might tempt you towards fate. Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest, or so they say.
If this is just not a possibility, then what might arise for you, Taurus, is a tension between wanting to be sweet, nice and kind, versus a stronger desire to be assertive and pushy. Because of this, you might jump between polarities, where you kiss and make up the entire week. It’s a little exhausting, Taurus. You’ll be glad to see this energy go.
You’re capable of presenting a few faces to the world at any point – the nice, sweet, compromising face, and then the face that’s a little harsher, perhaps more cutting or even sarcastic at times. This sometimes earns you the reputation of being “fickle”, even if you don’t mean to. Be aware of the tendency to switch this week. Whilst one part of you wishes to keep the peace at home so that all is harmonious and calm, the other – very strong part of you – wants to assert yourself, run the show, be more direct and even confrontational. This is confusing, Gemini. You can’t be sweet and nasty. Instead of flipping, stay true to one behaviour.
If you’re not happy about something, stand up for yourself without attempting to make it all better a moment later – perhaps because you feel guilty or bad, or scared of rocking the boat. Or, if you decide to let something slide, let it truly slide. Avoid passive aggression. Pick your battles very carefully this week, Gemini. Communication is, fortunately, on your side.
This week’s Full Moon lands in one of the sectors governing relationships for you, Cancer. But wait – rewind. The start of the week signals how this is going to play out. Be aware, Cancer, this energy is nothing short of intense. The Sun and Pluto align together to reflect a potential power struggle or drama. Some may see this as a signifier of a split. This can happen, Cancer, but only if you and your sweetheart are already on rocky ground. If this is the case, be mindful not to engage or become immersed in this somewhat toxic energy. Hold your ground, don’t attempt to control them or their actions, and focus on yourself and your own (especially material) security.
Next after this publicity
Don’t worry, Cancer – by the end of the week when the Sun and Jupiter align and the Full Moon peaks, you’ll have a much clearer picture of what’s really going on. If you are working things out with your partner, your heart will open to generosity. You’ll remember that you’re a team.
Once again, it’s a wild week for love, Leo. You’re getting all of the action at the moment. First up you have the Sun (in Leo) opposite Pluto to kick things off to an intense start. This somehow mirrors the energy generated by the Jupiter-Pluto opposition last week, Leo. Perhaps slightly less dramatic, but still deep regardless. You’re still caught up in what could be seen as power struggles. You have a powerful light around you, Leo – be careful of allowing others to have a piece of it for themselves. You don’t have to give yourself away to be loved, liked or approved of. Notice when you’re being manipulated or pushed into a situation.
As the week progresses, you feel better and better. The Sun and Jupiter align in your sign, bringing a powerful, generous, lucky energy. You feel you can do anything, Leo. And you know what? You can. You’re more than enough, just as you are. You’ll see this more clearly than ever once the Full Moon dawns over the weekend. Time to make a choice, Leo, or at least balance things out.
As you know by now, Virgo, Venus is in your sign. It’s delicious, to say the least. This week, she casts a square to Mars, planet of raw, primal energy. Be careful here, Virgo. This energy can reflect no small amount of drama. It’s consistent with love triangles, conflict and on/off dynamics. Even if you consider yourself to be the most stable, grounded partner around, this can affect you, Virgo. You might find yourself playing nice but ignoring your desires. Or perhaps your partner is challenging you but you’re resisting to face the conflict.
Whatever happens, Virgo, do your utmost not to pretend all is well when it’s not. Don’t get involved in triangles, obviously. Don’t sacrifice your desires for the sake of someone else – unless there’s clear compromise and reciprocity. This week is dramatic, but you don’t have to be. Even if difficulties come, Virgo, trust that you are held and protected by your guiding angels.
The trine between the Sun and Neptune this week feels delicious, Libra. You’re falling ever so deeply in love – not necessarily with someone, but perhaps the idea of them, or a vision of the life they might be able to offer you. Together, you float into the clouds, oblivious to reality. Fortunately, this isn’t a coming-down-to-earth-with-a-bump energy. In fact, it’s a very gentle, soft landing – one that allows you to still hold onto your dreams as a couple.
Of course, you always need to be careful of fantasy and projection, Libra. When someone shows you who they truly are, believe them. Don’t make people live up to the idea you have of them, as that will eventually cause problems – especially seeing as Neptune is in the sector of your love relationships for a few years yet. There’s more: the Sun-Pluto opposition and the Full Moon in Aquarius both ignite your romance zone. This brings choices and balance, Libra. Too often you give without reciprocity. Don’t let that happen anymore. You deserve more.
You have one very big fear when it comes to love and relationships, Scorpio: betrayal. Being duped. Sometimes, this manifests as you being the one to commit the betrayal first, before anyone else can. This, of course, is a shadow aspect of your personality, Scorpio. You know, deep down, how unhealthy this can be.
This week brings along the possibility of a romantic opportunity – one that’s forbidden or somehow dangerous in nature. An attraction to a friend, for example. A liaison with an ex. You know deep down, Scorpio, that this will likely end in tears. Yet here you are, doing it anyway. If this is absolutely not an option for you, Scorpio – and bear in mind there’s no shame if it is, and all is a lesson – then what this might manifest as is not seeing eye to eye on a particular goal with your partner. Be careful of letting money become involved. This is where you might both become undone.
For the most part this week, Sagittarius, your love life is looking sparkly and sweet. You have one great aspect and some difficult ones. As always, the Universe both gives and takes. The first of these aspects is the sweet one – the Sun-Neptune trine. With Neptune in your romance sector, you’re feeling all loved up and willing to overlook any seeming wrongs your partner or new lover has made. You’re also feeling rather swept away by this person, or perhaps someone new that you meet. Of course, there comes a time when the rose-coloured glasses eventually come off – but your landing won’t be harsh, Sagittarius, so enjoy this while it lasts.
On the challenging side, there’s a square between Venus and Mars – and with Mars in your relating sector, you’re probably going to be encountering a fair amount of aggression at the moment. This energy especially signifies the dance between passion and tension, between love and hate. You’re drawn to someone, you can’t get enough, but you’re also irritated at the same time. This won’t last that long, Sagittarius.
The main aspect to keep an eye on this week, Capricorn, is the square between Venus and Mars. Although this doesn’t connect with any of your love sectors, it can be an energetic reflection of forbidden fruit. For you, this may start off as a light flirtation at the workplace. Yet, after some time, this can become something far deeper than just a little fun. Be aware here, Capricorn.
Now, if you are committed and not exploring outside of your relationship, bear in mind that this energy might simply indicate little skirmishes and fights around things like housework, travel plans, routines and tasks. It’s not a major issue, Capricorn – just as long as you’re not giving mixed signals. Be clear on what irritates you, and assert it kindly. Don’t brush things away – but don’t become a bully either. Attempting to play nice will only backfire on you both, so get real.
Once again, your relationship sector is being highly activated this week, Aquarius. The Sun-Pluto opposition indicates a push-pull energy between you and another, similar to the Jupiter-Pluto energy of last week. Of course, this can feel tricky. You’re dealing with power and control, Aquarius, with depth and drama. You’re either going to become a power couple or pull apart. The pressure is building to a climax come the Full Moon in Aquarius at the weekend. You’ve got choices, Aquarius. Be mindful that you aren’t pushing too hard or holding all the cards. This can make your partner feel disempowered or even bullied.
On the other hand, you do have a Sun-Jupiter alignment in your relationship sector by the weekend too. This softens everything, bringing a beautiful, growth-like energy to your connection. Your partner’s energy shines – they want to be generous towards you. Let them give. You’ll reciprocate when the time is right.
You’re so full up at the moment with life admin and health or work-related topics that there’s very little room for love, Pisces. And what room there is seems to be taken up by the challenging Venus-Mars aspect. Seeing as Venus is currently transiting your relationship sector, this is going to land hard for you.
You see, Pisces, what might unfold is a dance between playing nice versus a real need for assertion. There’s building tension at home, a tension which you can’t ignore. If you or your partner insist on pretending it doesn’t exist, you’re just going to end up fighting. Be a team, Pisces. If there’s a problem in the family or domestically, stand together and face it. The problem is not each other. What helps this week is slowing things right down and not reacting from the first wave of emotion. Give yourself space before responding, especially if things feel sensitive or charged.
