What that means:
Aries
There’s a ton of hot energy between you and your boo this weekend. This could mean great sex and amazing chemistry, but if your relationship’s on thin ice, this energy can easily manifest as huge fights over nothing. This is especially true because Mercury Retrograde is causing drama in your chart’s relationships zone. Whether this weekend’s astro-vibe manifested in a nice or a nasty way doesn’t matter—the theme of the week is patience, compromise, and taking relationships seriously. Stay level-headed and don’t pop off! Mercury Retrograde ends on Tuesday, and things start looking way up after this week’s rocky vibe.
Taurus
Uranus, the planet of surprises, disruption, and suddenness, is opposing the Sun this weekend, activating your chart’s zone of relationships. Translation: Expect the unexpected, and make sure you buckle up! This transit can mean sudden break-ups, running into someone you immediately fall head over heels for, or just having a seriously mind-blowing time trying something (or someone) new in bed! This week’s astro-weather is urging you to look at your past assumptions and biases around relationships, open your mind to different ways of thinking, and change things up. You love routine, Taurus, but your relationship is getting to a point where you/your boo/both of you feel like it’s getting stale. This weekend, make your love life fun again!
Gemini
If your love life’s been more stressful than usual, you can blame Mercury Retrograde. Mercury is in your chart’s zone of romance/sex, and all week long, it’ getting hella bad energy from Saturn, the planet of blockages. Your usual way of communicating with your boo isn’t cutting it anymore. Are you listening just as much as you’re speaking? Are you open and honest with your partner? Cooperation is a must if you want to survive this rough astro-weather—don’t let tiny misunderstandings blow up into huge arguments. If you’re single, this astrology suggests that you’re mooooost likely getting left on read or straight-up ghosted…sorry!
Cancer
You’re finding it difficult to open up to others this week. You’re feeling sensitive (even more than usual) and really emotional (same), but that’s because something major is going on in your love life. At its best, this week can be a great opportunity to make deep, emotional connections your S.O. At its worst, it can bring about misunderstandings or arguments that are meant to teach you a big lesson about the importance of boundaries. Basically, the stars are holding you accountable for having a strong, secure relationship now. Oh, and flings are really not a great idea rn, unless you’re ready to catch feelings.
Leo
Are you trying to ask out your crush, but you can’t find the words? Do you want to start that super scary “what are we?” convo? Are you ready to talk to your boo about moving in together or marriage, but can never find the time or place? Or are you trying to find the best way to break up with someone? Fear not, Leo, your opportunity is coming up soon—you just have to get through this week! Mercury Retrograde has been making communication very difficult in your life, but luckily it ends on Tuesday. Until then, Mercury will be locked in a nasty square with Saturn, the planet of delays and limitations, so now is really, really not the time to have that talk. So stop, take a deep breath, and just think about it. If you wait until next week to get down to business, your chances of success are much higher.
Virgo
When you set a goal for yourself, you work your ass off, so why should your love life be any different? But instead, you tend to wait for the other person to approach you first, because you hate taking risks! This is made even worse when you consider how GD self-conscious you are. I’m not throwing shade, but seriously—is putting yourself out there really that scary? Sure, rejection sucks, but is getting denied by your crush the end of the world? Hell no, it isn’t! This week, you can make some real magic happen in your love life, as long as you push yourself. Channel your inner Ariana Grande this week—if you see someone cute, and you like ‘em, and you want ‘em, then go out and get ‘em!
Libra
Even though Mercury Retrograde is in your sign, it looks like you’re managing to slide into someone’s DMs and get lucky this weekend, Libra! Uranus, the planet of surprises and disruption, is activating your chart’s zone of intimacy, so expect a kickass time in bed. It’s the perfect weekend to try something (or someone) new in the bedroom, because the stars are pushing you to shake up your sex life. If you had a fire hookup and simply must see your paramour again soon, wait until after Election Day to hit them up—that’s when Mercury Retrograde is finally over!
Scorpio
Your relationship status is in for a change, Scorpio. Uranus, the planet of surprises and disruption, is activating your chart’s zone of relationships. Expect sudden new encounters or surprise breakups might happen. Look at the state of your love life—if things are A-okay, then you might upgrade your relationship. If things are looking rough, then this weekend will be a bumpy ride! If you’re single, it’s suuuuper likely that you’re going to bump into your next crush soon. One big thing to watch out for, regardless of your relationship status, is drama re: your ex! It’s the final weekend of Mercury Retrograde, so if any beef does come up, don’t expect it to last too long.
Sagittarius
This week’s astro-weather is a tad dramatic. If you’re happily boo’d up, expect a (hopefully not too major) misunderstanding that leads you to realize that you aren’t exactly on the same page as far as your relationship goes. You might think things are going just fine, but they’re feeling the exact opposite (or vice versa), or you might think that you’re ready to move in together, but they’re absolutely not ready (or again, vice versa). Look at this as a minor speed bump. You’re not getting told “no,” you’re just being told “not yet,” and that’s okay. If you’re single and ready to mingle, be careful whose DMs you slide into this week! What you think is just a casual date might seem more like the start of a serious relationship to the other person, thanks to Mercury Retrograde causing all tons of misunderstandings. Make sure you’re being very clear about your intentions to avoid unnecessary confusion and heartbreak.
Capricorn
Big changes are coming to your love life, Capricorn—the good kind! Think about your hopes and dreams for your love life. Who/what do you want? Where do you want your relationship to be in a year? Two years? Ten years? How can you make your dreams come true? Start these big conversations with your boo, and you can make some magic happen this weekend. If you’re single, this weekend’s transits suggest that you’re bumping into someone who can make your love life feel fresh and fun! Whether they’re dating material or just a super hot fling is still TBD, but don’t worry about all that now—live in the moment (safely!!!) and have fun! It’s been a really, really, really rough year on your sign in particular, and you deserve to have a good time.
Aquarius
Sorry, Aquarius, but this week’s astrology isn’t very sexy for you. It’s actually quite serious. When it comes to relationships, you love hard. Your sign gets a bad rep for being cold and even emotionless at times, but that’s not true at all—you’re just more selective with who you open up to. When you do develop feelings for someone, they don’t go away easily. You’re feeling determined this week, and it’s a good time to ask out your crush, DTR with someone you’ve been casually seeing, or talk to your boo about upgrading your relationship some way (just wait until Mercury Retrograde ends on Tuesday). But before you make your move, figure out what you want to say and how you want to say it. Also, if you get rejected, respect that they’re not interested, and move on.
Pisces
For the past few days, Mercury Retrograde has been stirring up trouble in your chart’s zone of intimacy, so if you’ve been facing performance issues, a lack of chemistry, or just feeling like you’re never in the mood, blame Mercury! These issues have been coming up because the stars are urging you to think about how you experience intimacy with others, and who you are intimate with. Are you struggling to connect with your boo because issues outside of your sex life are making it tough to get along? Are the two of you as compatible as you thought you were? As much as I wish I could say that everything will be just fine, I can’t. You’re taking a hard look at your love life this week, Pisces, and it’s important to be serious and honest when doing so. If your relationship is strong, secure, and healthy, this will be a rough patch, but you’ll get through it just fine and have a stronger relationship as a result. However, if you and your S.O. just aren’t the right fit for each other anymore, you might realize that it’s time to let them go.
