Truthfully, there’s not a whole lot going on in your relationships at the moment, Aries. Nevertheless, you’ll still feel the effects of this week’s Virgo-Uranus square aspect. Whilst it’s not happening in any of your love sectors, it’s still going to be experienced as wobbly, as if you’re on a rollercoaster that you can’t quite get off. Fortunately, you’re not a stranger to excitement – you quite like the thrill. Where it does potentially hit is the day-to-day with your partner. You may be so swept away by new ideas and exciting plans that you fully forget that your mundane duties are still a part of your life together.
Forgetting the dishes once isn’t a strain, but leaving it to your partner all the time can start becoming a problem over time, Aries. Rather create boundaries around what needs to be done so that you’re not continually in the dogbox. It’s for your own peace of mind too, you know.
This week’s Venus-Mars square happens squarely in your love and romance sector, raising more than a few eyebrows. You see, Taurus, these two are known as the zodiac’s ‘cosmic lovers’. When they dance together, sparks fly. Venus brings sensuality and flirtatiousness, the desire, whereas Mars invites passion and lustful drive. Moreover, with Venus being your ruler, you’re going to feel this more than most, Taurus.
You may be getting more and more excited as you read this, Taurus – but you do need to slow down. The aspect created is a square. This means problems, friction, tension. Aggression around money, for example, could put a spanner in the sweet works. Or you’re running after someone or a situation that’s not very good for you. Careful, Taurus. What seems like a delicious dalliance may turn out to be a deadly liaison. Love triangles aren’t your thing anyway. Dabble, but don’t dive in.
You’re right at the centre of all the cosmic action this week, Gemini. With multiple aspects inclining your sign, you’re feeling excited, inspired, slightly aggressive, sexy and assertive. For the most part, this works for you. First up is the square of Mars in Gemini and Venus in Virgo. Now, be careful. Gemini, you may be attempting to play sweet at home, behind closed doors, only to erupt in arguments when you feel unheard or as if your desires are being brushed over. Domestic disputes with your lover can be the result.
This does pass, fortunately. Uranus in Gemini aligns with Pluto, distracting you completely from all things love-related. The world is opening up in very interesting ways, making singlehood – if that’s your state – something desirable rather than problematic. Who has time for a partner when such big things are unfolding? Coupled up? Hopefully you can embark on this new adventure together.
This week brings along a New Moon in your sign, Cancer. When this happens, the invitation is to put yourself first. Sometimes this heralds a period of singleness or a renewed enjoyment of being just with yourself for now. We all yearn for partnership, but there are times in life where it suits us to do our own thing, so even if you’re partnered, Cancer, you might find that these next few months are more for you and your own desires than for theirs. This is a balancing of the scales. A needed balance. Treat this as a time to start over, Cancer.
Next after this publicity
Now, a word of warning. Because Mars is in the ‘hidden’ sector of your chart, you’re probably sitting in a few frustrations and irritations. With Mars linking to Venus, these will probably come out a little passive-aggressively, particularly in the way you speak to an existing partner or someone new. Be careful, Cancer. Rather be (kindly) direct than giving into subtle jabs.
There’s something incredibly exciting and new unfolding in your love and relationship sector this week, Leo. You’ve felt it coming for some time, so it’s not like this is anything new, but now’s the peak moment. So, what is it exactly? What is all the fuss about?
Well, Uranus and Pluto (in your relationship sector) are finally meeting up in a trine aspect. This gives a powerful flow of new life and energy in your love life, Leo. It’s like a pleasant jolt of electricity. This is the type of aspect where you could suddenly meet someone right out of the blue – an old lover, a new flame, a chance encounter that leads to something more. Exciting news about your relationship that you perhaps never expected, Leo. Maybe your lover is up for a new adventure, or perhaps they’re receiving a powerful new opportunity that shifts the landscape of your connection. Bear in mind that this is active for some time, Leo – it’s not just for the week.
You’re settling nicely into Venus’ travels through your sign, Virgo. You could get used to this feeling of beauty and attractiveness. There’s a little hurdle this week, as she meets with Mars the warmaker in a jolting square aspect. This brings both passion and turmoil, with most of it likely because you’re trying too hard, Virgo. You can’t be nice all the time, you know. You can’t be perfectly sweet and charming one hundred percent of the time. Sometimes anger comes. Sometimes you explode and erupt. Work could be bearing down on you, making it difficult to be kind-hearted and charming.
Luckily, what goes hand in hand with this energy is an aura of sexiness. You’ll be able to get away with being a little mean, Virgo. Somehow, people like it, or want more of you regardless. Just be careful you don’t take it too far. If you need a distraction, plan some new goals – with or without a partner.
A couple of alignments light up your love sectors this week, Libra. For the most part, they’re positive. Firstly, the trine of Uranus to Pluto in your romance sector ignites the possibility of adventure. If you have someone special, you may all of a sudden decide that it’s the perfect time for going on a backpacking adventure together. Booking flights just seems so – well – right. Or perhaps you want to create something else thrilling in your relationship. Fun, it seems, is very much on the table. Expect things to develop quite suddenly or even shockingly, Libra. If you’re single, you might meet someone you never expected. This too could prove tremendously exciting – like lightning, it comes out of nowhere and shakes you up in the best possible way.
Second, a softer alignment of Mars to Saturn in your commitment zone allows for an opportunity to seal the deal, in whatever way needed. You’re putting the needed work into your relationship to make it solid as well as expansive, Libra.
This week is like the birth of freedom, Scorpio. If you’ve been languishing over a breakup recently or struggling with feeling trapped, restricted or bound, this energy brings along a chance to finally unfurl your wings and come back to yourself. These next six months might prove to be some of your most healing yet, Scorpio. If you consider yourself spiritual or even religious, then you might find these paths highly fulfilling. Who needs love? Maybe booking an adventure or course for yourself leads you towards the right relationship, eventually.
If you’re partnered, your focus is likely to be on matters of money. Be careful here, Scorpio, your vision might not necessarily align with your partner’s. They might even be feeling more thrifty or frugal than you, which is a clash of interests if you had to be honest with yourself. You’re trying so hard to keep the peace, but it’s admittedly a challenge. Slow down. There’s no need to become critical of each other.
Three alignments happen in your relationship sector this week, Sagittarius. With Uranus in this zone for a long time, you’re bound to be experiencing all kinds of excitement for the next several years. Yes – years, Sagittarius. Sit back and enjoy it. The week starts off a little shakily. With Venus and Mars aligning, you’re all for juicy connections and passion. Yet if triangulation starts occurring or your passions turn to tension, beware, Sagittarius. Pull out while you still can. Butterflies isn’t always a positive signal – sometimes it’s alarm bells.
Uranus then aligns with Pluto, igniting important and exciting conversations about the future. You might even encounter someone on your intellectual level, Sagittarius – someone who can finally keep up with your theories and ideas. Finally, Mars and Saturn connect across your love zones, lending commitment, stability and integrity.
The New Moon in Cancer is what you need to keep a close eye on this week, Capricorn. Seeing as this is your relationship sign, you’re likely to experience – sometime in the next few months – a new start. Cancer rules the home and hearth, children and family, so if this is on your mind, Capricorn, you’re right on track. Moving in together looks like a great idea, as is starting a family – whatever that looks like to you. Getting engaged might also be on the cards.
Of course, this all depends on the general health of your relationship, Capricorn. If it’s not doing so well, then this might be a time where you need to end it and make space for the right person to come along – someone more aligned. And if you’re single, this is a positive signal from the Universe that, if you’re open to it and believe, a connection could unfold in the coming months. Have faith.
This week brings a mixed bag of both excitement and tension, Aquarius. It starts off tense – and perhaps this is for the best; save the best for last, right? In order to navigate the first half of this week successfully, Aquarius, it’s important to notice where the vulnerabilities are. For many of us, we feel most vulnerable in the realms of money or intimacy. This is where we hold tenderness, wounds, fears. If something like this comes up affecting your self-worth, Aquarius, pay attention. Avoid becoming defensive. Avoid putting up walls, pushing, forcing, attacking – or even playing nice when you don’t feel particularly nice. Get real, Aquarius.
Luckily, this clears with the onset of the Uranus-Pluto trine. You’re in such a powerful position now, Aquarius. Love can be incredibly exciting. There’s no end to the inventiveness of the current transits. If you’ve been bored in your relationship, now’s the moment where everything can change. How thrilling. Don’t hesitate to pursue, initiate, create and connect – Aquarius, single or not, you hold so much magnetism.
This week’s Cancer New Moon is right up your love alley, Pisces. It’s tender, soft, sentimental, exciting, sweet and nourishing. It invites a fresh chapter in your romantic relationships, whatever your status. Not so long ago, you had the transit of Jupiter in this sector for an entire year. This New Moon is coming along to remind you of the open-heartedness of that time – whether you fell in love with yourself or someone else, or even re-fell in love, this moment shows you why.
For the next few months, you’ll keep falling, Pisces. A portal opens for love, allowing you to share your heart in a new way. Perhaps a new lover arrives on the scene. Or maybe you and your partner decide it’s time to create something together – a child, a project, a new adventure. Whatever this is, it’s bound to be good for your sensitive soul, Pisces. You never knew you needed this until this very moment.
