What’s happening: It’s a busy week! Tonight, Venus in Gemini is teaming up with Jupiter in Aries, and there’s a lunar eclipse in Scorpio. On Sunday, Venus enters emotional Cancer. On Tuesday, the Sun runs into Uranus in Taurus, meaning the start of the week will be very unpredictable. Then, Moon slides from stoic Capricorn into social Aquarius on Wednesday evening, helping you end the week with a little fun with your crew.
What that means for *you*:
Aries
Venus is teaming up with lucky Jupiter in your sign tonight, Aries, giving you the confidence, charisma, and the chutzpah you need to pick up someone sexy! Whether you’re looking to start dating someone, or you’re just on the prowl for a hookup, tonight’s astro is helping you out! But Venus entering Cancer on Sunday is a much more emotional period that doesn’t support hooking up. Instead, you’re more romantic, so catching feelings is a much bigger possibility now.
Taurus
If your partner isn’t treating you like the absolute effing treasure you are, the eclipse is here to help you sweep them out the door. You often (unintentionally) become a “doormat” to other people, because instead of shaking things up and speaking out, you’d rather just let things slide. Well, not anymore! Know your worth. If someone’s not treating you right, speak on it. If your needs aren’t being fulfilled, say so. This will lead to difficult conversations, sure, but they are necessary. If you’re single and drama-free, Venus in Cancer activates your chart’s communication zone, meaning you’ll be hearing from some new potential paramours soon.

Gemini
This is the final weekend of Venus’s stay in your sign, Gemini, so take advantage of it. This astro makes you look and feel sexier, it gives you a more magnetic aura, and it’s one of the best times for your love life. Well, before Venus leaves, it’s forming a lovely sextile to benefic Jupiter tonight, meaning that you’re very lucky when it comes to getting lucky this weekend. Hook up! Hang loose! Have fun! PS: It’s still Mercury Retrograde, and Tuesday’s astro is a little crazy—keep your eyes peeled for your ex.
Cancer
Looking at this astro-weather, it appears there’s a lot coming to light in your love life this weekend. Secrets and hidden feelings are becoming known, for better or for worse. I’m optimistic and think it’s ultimately for the better, however, because Venus enters your sign on Sunday, making it a time where it’s easier than ever to express love. If you’re crushing on someone, tell them. If you’ve been with someone for a long time, make sure you remind them you love them. This isn’t the time to DTR, since it’s still Mercury Retrograde, but you’re still capable of making major progress this week.
Leo
If you’re in the mood for a fling, this weekend is for you! The link between Venus and Jupiter makes you ooze charisma and turns you into a social butterfly. You’re feeling zero hesitation walking up to that hottie at the bar and introducing yourself, and flirting feels as easy as breathing. Don’t expect anything long lasting to come from this weekend’s shenanigans. Venus enters Cancer on Sunday, which slows your love life down a ton, so enjoy this weekend while you can!
Virgo
Your love life has been under some pressure lately, and I’m pleased to announce that things are easing up thanks to Venus entering Cancer. This naturally draws new connections your way, so if you’re single, get ready to do a lot of mingling! The Sun runs into Uranus on Tuesday, and the whole vibe of the day is “think outside the box.” If you see someone you like who isn’t your usual type, or if your partner wants to try something ~kinky~, I 100% say you should go for it!
Libra
Sitting around swiping through dating apps isn’t cutting it this weekend, Libra. You have to actually go out to get what you want right now. Uranus’ involvement with this week’s astro is suggesting that love can come to us in the places we least expect it, so I suggest going out a lot. Instead of taking a three-minute drive to get your morning coffee, take a ten-minute walk. Instead of going to the same place you always go on your lunch break, try someplace new! You never know, your next potential paramour could be right around the corner. You just need to look.
Scorpio
This lunar eclipse is happening in your sign, so your feelings are on full display this weekend. My advice? Don’t try to hide or suppress your feelings. It won’t work. Instead, lean into them. Honor your feelings, and speak about them. This could be a positive thing—expressing love for your partner is never bad, and it can make it easier to connect on a more deep, meaningful level. On the flip side, problematic aspects to your relationship are being emphasized as well, inciting you to have an emotional reaction. If you’re single, feelings of loneliness or rejection are especially hurtful now. Try to keep a level head.
Sagittarius
Sure, there’s an über emotional eclipse this weekend, but you couldn’t care less. The Venus/Jupiter connection tonight activates your chart’s relationship zone, and the zone of romance, sex, and fun, so you’re defs getting some action. Go wild! Flings and flirting are especially fun right now, and sex feels way hotter, so every Sagittarius can enjoy this amazing vibe. Then, Sunday comes along, and everything changes. Venus enters Cancer, one of the most emotional signs, and makes your heart yearn for one thing: commitment.
Capricorn
The people you typically surround yourself with—colleagues, friends, peers—are shuffling around a lot this week, Capricorn. On one hand, you hate change, so this can feel a tad chaotic. But on the other hand, you’re being exposed to loads of new people! If you’re single, you’re definitely running into at least a couple of cuties this week. Tuesday’s astro has explosive potential when it comes to your sex life—you’re horned up, extremely eager to have fun, and more likely to run into someone sexy. Enjoy!
Aquarius
This weekend is all about initiating. You’re being urged to slowly start something new in your love life. If you’re crushing on someone, now’s the time to ask them on a first date. If you’ve been with someone for a while and think you’re ready to say the “L” word, go for it. If you’re thinking about getting hitched, ask your partner what they have to say about marriage. This is not the time to DTR, propose, or sign anything official, but it’s a spectacular time to start talking about it.
Pisces
There’s been a lot of fire, air, and earth sign energy in the stars lately, but very little water sign energy. If you’ve felt out of sorts lately, that may be why. I have good news, though! Venus, the planet of love, pleasure, and beauty, enters like-minded water sign Cancer on Sunday, and your sign is thriving! This activates your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun, while also teaming up with Mars, the planet of libido. Your sex drive is getting way higher, you’re feeling way more romantic with your partner now, and you’re absolutely having a great time with your love life now!
