What’s happening: The Moon is in Gemini tonight, and on Saturday, Mercury and Venus form a supportive aspect to each other. On Sunday, the Moon enters moody Cancer, and the Sun squares off with hazy Neptune. Next, the Moon slides into fiery Leo on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the Sun forms an awkward quincunx angle with Pluto, leading to power imbalances and butting heads in relationships. Right afterwards, the Sun enters Cancer, starting off Cancer Season ‘23!
What that means:
Aries
Go for it! If you’ve been thinking about asking someone out or popping the question, Saturday is an ah-mazing day! Don’t waste time, figure out what you want to say, how you wanna say it, and then just do the damn thing! If there are any unclear boundaries/“what are we” questions/unspoken thoughts, now’s the time to air it all out. Miscommunications, even small ones, can lead to big fights later in the week, so get it all sorted out now.
Taurus
This is a slow week for your love life. If you’re with somebody, there’s lots of potential for romance and intimacy. But if you’re single, you’re feeling especially lonely now. The Moon enters Cancer on Sunday, encouraging you to open up, connect with new people, and speak about your feelings. This vibe is reinforced even more once Cancer season begins on Wednesday. If you’re single, get ready to mingle, because new connections of all types are finding their way to you!

Gemini
This is a great weekend for romance! Chatty Mercury in your sign is helping you pick the perfect pickup lines, and Venus in Leo is giving you off-the-charts rizz, so if you’re single, step out this weekend—there’ll be loads of people trying to get your number, and finding a birthday boo will be a breeze. If you’re “sort of” seeing somebody or you’re in an on-and-off relationship, there could be drama this week. The other person wants clear boundaries, they’re done with the hot and cold nature of the relationship, and they want you to decide what happens next.
Cancer
Don’t expect much action this week, Cancer—you’ve got a lot of baggage to unpack this week. Your ex(es) are on your mind right now. You might keep seeing something that reminds you of them, or they might even walk back into your life somehow. There’s a reason for this—things aren’t quite done between the two of you, and you need to make a clear distinction. Are they right for you? Will you welcome them back? Or do they need to walk out for good?
Leo
All eyes are on you this weekend, Leo, so do your best to dazzle the crowd and look your best! Venus is hanging out in your sign, making you look good and feel great, and Mercury is attracting new people to you. If you’re single, this is a great time to try something/someone new, or find your next potential boo. Have fun with it, because once Cancer season begins on Wednesday, your life slows way down.
Virgo
Hey, sweet pea. You’re being a little bit delulu right now. You have a skewed perception of your relationship. You’re, let’s just say… strategically ignoring the parts of your love life that aren’t in great shape, and acting like everything is just fine. Here’s the thing, Virgo: Problems don’t go away just because you ignore them. You have to bring them up (be nice about it) talk about them, make a plan, and fix them. Pretending everything is okay can only get you so far, and it pretty much always ends in disaster.
Libra
Try something new. Be adventurous. Make your love life fun again! Whether this means buying some toys, getting tied up, slipping into some sexy new lingerie, or just inviting a third (or fourth, or fifth) person to the bedroom next time you and your boo are having fun! Maybe you’re looking for something more serious, in which case Cancer season is one of the best times of year for romance and DTRing!
Scorpio
You feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. You want your relationship/situationship to go one way, while the other person wants to go in a different direction. You’re not completely unwilling to compromise, but you sure are making it hard for the other person to meet you in the middle! Here’s the thing, Scorpio. Even if you end up splitting in future, you can still enjoy your time together now. Things change, and you might be able to stick together longer than you think. Focus on enjoying the present, not worrying about whatever might happen down the line.
Sagittarius
This is the last week of cuffing season for your sign, Sagittarius, and it could get a bit wild! First of all, I really encourage you to think outside of the box and get a little ~kinky~! Don’t venture too far from your comfort zone, but try a little dirty talk, maybe some spanking, some light BDSM (or not so light, if you’re into that)! Life in the bedroom is amazing, but when it comes to romance, there are a couple of speed bumps this week. Both of you are more emotional and argumentative this week, so keep a level head and you’ll be just fine.
Capricorn
Clean up your act! Any bad relationship habits you have—forgetting important dates, never texting back, that sort of thing—need to get squashed this week. Capricorn, you have a bit of an “I’m the best, period” attitude and you might not think you’re doing anything wrong, but odds are, you are. Ask your partner, or a friend, or even an ex, and they’ll let you know where you can improve. Take a practical approach to love, because Cancer season is all about relationships, and you’ll want to be able to show up 100% doing your best.
Aquarius
To put it simply, this weekend’s astro is hot as hell. Single or not, there’s a lot of magic happening in the bedroom right now. Getting off feels better, sex is even hotter, and things are going great… ‘til your ex shows up. Yes, it looks like someone from the past is rearing their head this week (Wednesday, specifically), so keep your eyes peeled—they’re most likely not coming around with the best intentions.
Pisces
I want you to emphasize being genuine this week. You have a tendency to “phone it in” at times, and act in ways you think others want you to act. The way you think you’re maybe “supposed” to act. Listen, there’s no way that you should act—just be yourself! People can tell when you’re being disingenuous, and it’s a major turn off. You’re not rubbing people the wrong way for being yourself, you’re aggravating them because they know you’re not being yourself.
