What’s happening: The Moon is in Aquarius today and most of Saturday, which provides a social vibe that’s great for mingling. The Moon enters Pisces late on Saturday night, while Venus is squaring off with hazy, deceptive Neptune. On Monday, Venus enters Capricorn, which is a sign it feels okay being in. It’s a great time for committing and taking love seriously, but flings aren’t quite as appealing right now. Early on Tuesday morning, the Moon enters fiery Aries, where it stays until Thursday morning, when it enters sensual, earthy Taurus.
What that means for you:
Aries
Keep it casual this weekend. This astro-weather is great for mixing and mingling, hookups, and maybe going on a date or two. Venus and Neptune square off on Saturday, though, so if you’re going down the hookup route, understand that catching feelings for your fling is a major possibility. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, because Venus’ movement into Capricorn makes superficial flings and casual flirtationships waaaay less appealing—instead, you’re looking for commitment.
Taurus
Be careful who you bring to bed this weekend, Taurus. There’s sky-high potential for romance. It’s much easier now to let your walls down and connect deeply with others, and you’re especially emotional with this astro-weather. The Pisces Moon this weekend amplifies that emotional vibe, and it also activates your chart’s most social zone—it’s a great time for meeting someone new if you’re looking for love. Here’s the catch: You’re yearning hard for affection right now, so if you’re single, you may feel tempted to lower your standards just to experience connection, even if the other person isn’t really that great. Know your worth! Venus enters Capricorn on Monday, which promises to make your love life way more exciting. Plus, it could introduce you to some sexier ways to have fun with your boo!
Gemini
Despite this weekend’s fast-paced astro and your propensity to rush things, I encourage you to try to take things slow in your love life. Your moods and opinions change faster than any other sign, and those feelings are extra strong right now. A successful first date now could lead you to thinking, “What if this is the one?” On the flip side, a bad argument with your partner could make you think, “I’m over this, let’s break up.” It’s not easy to avoid knee-jerk reactions, but a little bit of mindfulness goes a long way right now. Avoid making major decisions in your relationship. You can talk about the future and get your partner’s perspective on things, but trying to bring major, sudden changes to your love life right now will only lead to difficulties.
Cancer
You’re facing a rather emotional weekend. If you’re happily boo’d up, these feelings will likely be positive, and there’s a ton of room for romance. If you’re single, you’re feeling especially lonely, unfortunately, and Neptune’s messy influence in your chart might even make you feel desperate for connection. Tough conversations between you and your partner are happening this weekend, and I encourage you to have these talks with an open heart and a calm mind. Even the tiniest misunderstandings can snowball into huge fights right now, so patience is key—otherwise, you could do serious damage to your relationship over a very minor issue. Venus enters Capricorn, activating your chart’s relationships zone, on Monday. This is one of the best transits for taking your relationship to the next level, and making it stronger and more secure. It even helps you become more cooperative and congenial. If you’re single, Venus in Capricorn is a very lucky transit. It’s the best time for meeting someone new or define your relationship!
Leo
The Moon is in your chart’s relationships zone for most of the weekend, so you’re feeling luckier when it comes to getting lucky. It’s a great time for dating or just hanging out with your special someone. Enjoy the chill vibes, because things get very emotional once Saturday night rolls around, and there’s tons of potential for drama. If you’re casually hooking up, you must make sure that you and the other person are on the same page. If you’re going on a date with someone and you’re not interested in anything sexy, tell them, and make sure you’re asking the other person about their intentions, too! Neptune’s influence this weekend makes it very easy to unintentionally lead someone on—or get unintentionally led on yourself—and things can get messy, fast. Be open and upfront about what you want with other people, whether it’s your new crush, your date, or a hookup—it is absolutely necessary right now!
Virgo
If you’re in a relationship, the tremendously emotional astro-weather happening in your chart right now has the potential for two very different outcomes. First, there’s boundless romance and compassion to be felt between you and your partner, but only if your love life is in good shape. If things are in bad shape, the alternative outcome would be letting your bad feelings out—jealousy, rage, resentment—in an explosive manner. Follow your heart. It’s overflowing with emotions right now, and you have to identify them. Are you feeling an influx of happy feelings? Maximize those, focus on the positives, and use them as encouragement to show even more love and affection to your boo. Are you feeling a lot of nasty, not-so-great feelings? It sucks, but you need to honor those. Successful relationships and healthy lovers shouldn’t make you feel that way, and you need to act accordingly—even if that means breaking up.
Libra
This weekend’s Aquarius Moon activates your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun, so it’s a lovely time for your love life! First dates, quickies, and flings are all easier to find and more exciting to have—but you need to make sure you’re having fun with the other person, not at their expense. If you’re just flirting with someone and wasting their time without any intention of going further with them, you’re getting called out now. I’m not saying you have to get serious, have zero fun, and only look for love and commitment—not at all! What I am saying, though, is that if you want to flirt, hook up, and have fun, make sure it’s a good experience for everyone involved. No faking it, and no playing games.
Scorpio
Tonight’s a bit of a dud, but the Pisces Moon plus the Venus/Neptune square on Saturday has explosive potential for your love life. Neptune and the Pisces Moon light up the sexiest, most romantic part of your chart, so things between you and your boo are hotter than ever, both in and out of bed. If you’re single, however, this astro-weather might manifest as you feeling more lonely, maybe to the point of being desperate. Don’t go for a hookup with some loser, or agree to a date with someone you’re super not into just because you crave companionship right now. It’s okay to sit things out and just do you for a bit! Venus enters your chart’s communication zone on Monday, so if you’re looking for love, you won’t be single for long—tons and tons of new potential love connections are coming your way soon!
Sagittarius
Venus in your sign makes you a total babe magnet, plus the Aquarius Moon this weekend has an über social vibe, so it’s a great time if you’re single and ready to mingle! This astro is helpful for first dates and great for hookups, but catching feelings is way more likely now, so be careful about who you take to bed. Venus leaves your sign on Monday and floats into Capricorn, a sign that has a super serious vibe that you don’t always mesh well with. I’m not saying your love life is going to get boring by any means, but the planet of love is more interested in finding something sustainable, not casually having a bunch of quickies. Hookups and casual flings can still totally happen, they just seem way less interesting to you right now.
Capricorn
Be gentle this weekend, Capricorn. There’s been a bunch of activity in your chart’s twelfth house, which rules the past and hidden enemies, aka your ex. It looks like a former flame of yours is coming back around, for one final time, and you’re feeling the urge to make a big choice: do you reintroduce them into your life, or do you use this as an opportunity to find closure and move on for good? Venus enters your sign on Monday, meaning that you’re no longer concerned about the past. You’re now able to fully focus on the future of your love life! Venus is also turning you into a total baddie, so you’re attracting all kinds of love straight to you right now. Have fun!!
Aquarius
The Moon is in your sign tonight and most of tomorrow, which is helping you to let your walls down and open your heart. Talking about feelings isn’t super easy, especially for your sign, but if you allow yourself to be vulnerable with your special someone, you can make a deep, meaningful connection with loads of potential for romance. There’s some trouble ahead, however. Venus’s entry into Capricorn is a tough transit for you, and it’s blurring the lines in your relationships. If you’re single, you’re getting way less action. If you’re in a relationship, hidden feelings are coming to the forefront, and secrets between you and your partner are being revealed. Regardless of your relationship status, Venus in Capricorn is a huuuuge astrological red flag telling you that you’ll be dealing with an ex (or multiple) soon. Don’t look at this as a time when you’re being inconvenienced, confused, and stressed out by relationships. Instead, use this time as an opportunity to appreciate having space for yourself, make peace with the not-so-nice aspects of your relationship, and find closure from past love experiences. Venus will enter your sign next, which is one of the best transits for your love life! You just have to get through Venus in Capricorn first.
Pisces
You’re feeling ready to shoot your shot or make a major move in your love life, but you just can’t figure out if your partner feels the same way! You could be crushing hard on someone, but not asking them out since you might be rejected. You may want to define a relationship, but won’t start The Talk, because you’re not so sure if the other person wants to commit yet. Take this weekend to swallow your fear, figure out exactly what you want to say and how you want to say it, and then when Venus enters Capricorn on Monday, you need to take action. Trying to make any major changes to your relationship this weekend will likely lead to confusion and miscommunications, so wait until Venus enters Capricorn, a much more focused, serious sign, to start any important conversations.
