Aries Love Horoscope:

Hip, hip hooray, Aries! Mercury is going direct today in your very own sign. It’s been three weeks or so of mayhem and madness, which now finally has the chance to be integrated. For you, this has been a lesson in learning to communicate your truth, even if that’s been hard. You may have felt quite misunderstood,  particularly by your partner. Yet, at the same time, perhaps you’ve been confrontational, Aries? More so than usual? There’s no shame in admitting when you’ve done wrong. Hopefully you’ve learnt by now that being defensive doesn’t get you anywhere, and that taking advice – especially from your sweetie – can actually be constructive.

On Tuesday, there’s a powerful Full Moon in the sector that rules intimacy and closeness for you. This may bring to culmination themes that have been building over the last couple of weeks, with you and your lover perhaps learning where to find a better balance with each other.

Taurus Love Horoscope:

Tuesday’s Full Moon falls squarely in your romance sector, Taurus. It’s a time in which you’re either walking away from a relationship gone sour, or finding a better balance between your personal desires and trajectory, versus your sweetie’s needs. No one ever said that relationships are easy, yet with enough work and effort, the rewards might be very sweet. You just have to be willing to face the shadows, Taurus, whether that’s your own or your partner, ex partner or crush’s. This isn’t a week to be surface level in any of your relationships. You have to go deeper, Taurus. In the dark, you’ll find the light.

Phew. So, onto lighter things  – Mercury, planet of communication, goes direct this week, helping you to see things in a much clearer light. It’s been a murky time, but very constructive when it comes to realizing what needs to end in your life, Taurus. You’ve been brave. Well done.

Gemini Love Horoscope:

This is an intense week for everyone, Gemini. Luckily for you, none of the alignments are unfolding in your romance sectors, so you shouldn’t have too much stress, at least not compared to others. Nevertheless,there will still be a few shadows to look at. How stressed are you, Gemini? How is your relationship contributing to your stress? If there are more stressful moments with your honey than good ones in the last year, perhaps it’s time to review what needs to change. Maybe you need to have a conversation – one that has consequences and boundaries. Maybe you just need more time alone. Only you can know what it is that your soul wants right now. No one can make that decision for you, Gemini.

The good news is that your ruler, Mercury, is going direct this week. This helps with any communication problems that you might have been having, particularly when it comes to telling your honey what it is that you need in order to feel loved.

Cancer Love Horoscope:

What does this week’s Full Moon hold for you, Cancer? Well, it falls directly in your romance and passion zone, emphasizing your love life in a big way. There’ll be some serious realizations, Cancer, so be prepared. There may even be some drama that goes down, or, at worst, a full-on ending. Yet, is this the worst thing that can happen, Cancer? Is this relationship perhaps just too much admin, too much toxicity? If so, then maybe this Full Moon is the best thing to happen, even if it feels incredibly painful.

Yet, this isn’t necessarily what’s on the cards for you, Cancer. It may be that you and your sweetie are re-negotiating the dynamics between you. You might just be figuring out how to navigate the give and take in your relationship. If one or both of you have been giving or taking too much, it’s important to communicate and see where you can get more equilibrium.

Leo Love Horoscope:

This week’s Full Moon is dramatic, Leo. It links to Pluto in your relationship sector via a strong square aspect, which will certainly bring up some shadows in your relationships. These seem to have to do with living or family dynamics that feel pressured or intense in some way. Maybe it’s a case where one of your family members is interfering in your relationship too much. Or need your attention in a way that takes the focus off of your relationship.

Being someone naturally oriented towards family, Leo, it may be very challenging for you to be caught between a rock and a hard place. Most Leo’s will choose family in a heartbeat over their partners. Yet, is your partner not also family? Do your best to include them, Leo. You don’t have to split yourself in this way if you make sure to let them know how important they are to you.

Virgo Love Horoscope:

Communication, communication, communication, Virgo. It can’t be emphasized enough this week. This is for a number of reasons, not least of all because your ruler, Mercury, is going direct. Then, there’s also a powerful Full Moon in your communication sector, in the deep, penetrating sign of Scorpio. This brings to conclusion a decision you might have been hovering on for quite some time, Virgo – one that may have to do with a certain relationship in your world. Do you move forward, commit, do you follow a goal together to go solo? These might be some of the questions on your mind at the moment. The good news is that you’ll have much more clarity than you’ve had in quite some time. What a relief, right?

On a personal level one of the biggest questions on your mind right now might be the one of freedom. It’s never easy to balance freedom with a relationship, but there are ways and means. Of course, you can never have it all, but you can come close.

Libra Love Horoscope:

There’s good news for your love life this week, Libra. Mercury goes direct in your relationship sector at long last. It’s been a rough ride for the last three weeks, with plenty of miscommunications and misunderstandings. Yet, what has this taught you? What has it taught you about learning to stand up for yourself? It’s never easy for you to be assertive, Libra, but it’s been such a necessary experience for you.

What’s more, if you’ve been dealing with exes coming back into your life, you might be relieved to hear that they’ll stop coming. This Mercury retrograde may have brought more of this theme than usual. The purpose of it has been to teach you how to close the door. How to find closure. How to let go – for good. It hasn’t been easy, especially considering this intense full Moon in Scorpio that’s also going on. It urges you to value yourself, to choose yourself, over and over again.

Scorpio Love Horoscope:

This week’s Full Moon in your sign this week is an important one, Scorpio. It highlights all things relationship for you, seeing as the Sun falls squarely in the romance sector of your chart, with the Moon igniting your personal identity zone. Full Moons are about three things – culmination, release and balance. Which of these three words most apply to you and your relationships right now? How can you find a better equilibrium between your needs- which are important – versus what your relationship requires of you? Where do you need to choose yourself, to nurture yourself?

Now, bear in mind that there may be a release, too, Scorpio. Maybe it’s the release of certain habits or patterns in your relationships. Maybe it’s the release of the relationship itself. It’s really dependent on how the connection has been going and what has been building over the last several months. Remember, Scorpio, you have the power of choice. Especially when it comes to your choice of how to respond.

Sagittarius Love Horoscope:

Here’s the honest truth of the week ahead, Sagittarius : it’s going to be nothing short of intense. The Full Moon in Scorpio is connected to your endings sector, which brings to light any relationship situations that are no longer serving you. These may even be relationships from the past that simply aren’t in your best interests to hold onto anymore. Maybe you’ve felt sorry for your ex, or perhaps it’s a case where you can’t reallys separate, due to children or other ties. Yet, you can cut emotional ties, Sagittarius, You can severe guilt and shame from your heart so that you can finally be free.

The good news is that that Mercury, planet of communication, is going direct in your romance sector. He’s been stirring up this area for about three weeks, making it hard to find peace in your conversations. It’s been confrontational and sharp. Now’s the time to say your apologies – and to accept them, too.

Capricorn Love Horoscope:

The Full Moon this week highlights themes in your relationship connected to giving love versus receiving it. Have you been opening your heart lately, Capricorn? Have you been able to be vulnerable? If so, the rewards of that hard work will pay off now. If not, you may be faced with a situation that asks you to expand your capacity to give love. The same goes for your ability to receive. You’re such a self-sufficient sign that it’s always not easy for you to receive love and care. Yet, being open to being adored allows the flow of vulnerability to be equal in your relationship. Otherwise it’s all one side, which benefits no one and only causes pain.

Make no mistake, Capriocrn – there will be some pain this week. Your self worth is a big theme that is likely to come up, with the trigger potentially being a financial position between you and your honey. Make sure you are valuing yourself in any relationship, – whether it’s serious or a ‘situationship’. This is the time to be cognizant about the gifts you bring to your connections.

Aquarius Love Horoscope:

This week’s Full Moon is a very important one for you, Aquarius. Although it doesn’t fall in any areas of your chart connected to relationships or romance, it does have a very strong Pluto link, and with Pluto in your sign – well – it’s going to be intense. The theme is about where to take your power back, versus where you need to surrender a little more, Aquarius. Where are you attempting to exert too much control? This may be towards a certain person in your world, a certain relationship situation. Yet you know, deep down that you simply can’t control people’s choices or actions. All you can control is your responses and your own decisions. Take the power back, Aquarius, and you’ll find yourself less at the mercy of the turmoil all around you.

One thing that may also happen is the climax of a certain domestic situation. Maybe you and your sweetie are looking at relocating or are negotiating living together. It’s important to find a balance of change and stability, Aquarius.

Pisces Love Horoscope:

Decisions aren’t always easy for you, Pisces. The reason for this is because you’re someone who never wants to hurt anyone else, so you’ll sacrifice your own needs and desires in order to keep a situation peaceful and harmonious. Yet, this often ends up backfiring on you, so hopefully you’ve learnt your lesson by now. This week asks that you put all of these lessons into practice, to really sit with yourself and ask for what it is that you deeply want.

Once you’ve figured that out – even if it’s a small little step – communicate that to your sweetie. If they truly care about you, they’ll be willing to ast least negotiate. If not, then their choice to choose themselves is also very valid, yet it doesn’t mean that you should go back on your decision. Yes, this is complex, Pisces. Yet, if you don’t stay true to yourself and your beliefs, if you don’t have your own back, who will?
