What’s happening: The Moon is in Virgo tonight, then it moves into lovey Libra on Saturday morning, where it stays all weekend before entering Scorpio on Monday evening. The action starts on Tuesday, when Venus (which is still retrograde) squares optimistic Jupiter, and Mars opposes hazy Neptune, making everyone feel über emotional. Virgo season begins on Wednesday, and so does… Mercury Retrograde. Yup, it’s that time of year! At the end of the week, Mars harmonizes with powerful Pluto, filling you with determination.
What that means for *you*:
Aries
Friday night is a dud, but the Libra Moon activates your chart’s relationships zone for the rest of the weekend, making it easier than ever to connect with new people. There’s potential for some really good sex—like, life changing-ly good sex—on Tuesday, and even if it’s a hookup, you’re feeling ready to put a ring on it. But since it’s Venus Retrograde, rushing is a no-no. Keep in mind that physical chemistry is great, but it’s not the only thing that matters in a relationship.
Taurus
This Virgo Moon has you in the mood, so getting laid is at the top of your to-do list tonight! This astro is great for hooking ups and flings, and not so great for romance, but regardless, you’re having a good time. There’s some trouble in your love life on Tuesday. You’re receiving mixed signals from your boo/crush, and it’s getting pretty frustrating. Instead of bottling up all that frustration and inevitably blowing up on them, be proactive and try to talk it out before it becomes a fight. Virgo season promises to light up your love life and make things way less dramatic!

Gemini
Your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun is lit up all weekend long, Gemini, so hooking up, dating, or just spending quality time with your boo is way more exciting. Unfortunately, that has to come to an end on Tuesday, when Venus Retrograde squares off with Jupiter. You’re likely to hear from an ex, and though they might seem like they’ve changed for the better, odds are, they haven’t. If what they say seems too good to be true, it probably is. Just ignore ‘em.
Cancer
You’re not getting much action this week, other than maybe when the Moon is in Scorpio at the beginning of the week. Instead, think of this week as a “building up” phase of your love life. This astrology + plus the start of Virgo season wants you to experience more variety in your life. Instead of going after the same type of person, try someone new and different! If your current situationship isn’t moving fast enough, move on to the next one! You’re not setting anything in stone right now, just sampling what the world has to offer. Have fun with it!
Leo
It’s the last weekend of Leo season, and there’s still a bit of time to find a birthday boo if you’re single! Venus squares off with Jupiter on Tuesday—the last day of Leo season—which makes you a total babe magnet. People can’t keep their eyes off you and you’re feeling very confident. Hookups and flings are supported by this astrology, but serious, long-term relationships? Not so much. Hang loose and have fun this week.
Virgo
It’s been a rough Leo season with all sorts of problems from your ex(es), but things are finally coming to a head on Tuesday, the last day of Leo season. The warrior planet Mars is opposite Neptune, and this activates your chart’s relationships zone. Any leftover drama with your ex is being exposed right now, and it’s not gonna be pretty. If you haven’t been able to talk it out by now, a big fight might happen. But after that, it’s Virgo season, you’re being given a clean slate, and you can rush towards what’s happening next for your love life.
Libra
Be careful who you take to bed this week, Libra. This is a great time for hooking up and fooling around with FWBs, but there’s a big possibility for miscommunications. Make sure you’re being 100% transparent with what you want from the relationship. If it’s just sex, make that clear—they might be under the impression that something more significant is happening. If you get any action this week, enjoy it, because once Virgo season starts, your love life will slow down a ton (sorry!).
Scorpio
This is a good week to find someone new. If you’re single, this is obviously good news, but if you’re already boo’d up, you might end up having to go out and find yourself another boo. There’s a bunch of confusion in your relationship, and the stressful “What are we?” question is definitely being brought up. Things can easily get explosive. You’re finding out that your relationship goals and theirs might not be totally aligned. If you can work through it and meet in the middle, great, but if you can’t… well, it’ll be like I said. You’ll have to start searching for your next partner.
Sagittarius
It’s time to start getting serious about your love life, Sagittarius! Virgo season makes you more practical, stern, and productive, so you want to improve your love life and meet all your relationship goals ASAP. Flings and hookups are becoming less satisfying to you now—you want something Real™ with someone special. The problem is, it’s Venus Retrograde, the worst time for DTRing. My advice? Take things slow and steady. Don’t rush.
Capricorn
Your sex drive is through the roof this week, and if you’re getting laid (whether it’s by a stranger or a long-term partner), things feel more sensual, erotic, and amazing. There’s a problem for all of you single Capricorns that are getting it in, though—you may be under the impression that this fling is something more. If you get any action, you’ll definitely have a blast, but don’t set any kind of expectations. A fling will stay a fling this week. The other person simply isn’t interested in anything more.
Aquarius
You’re uncharacteristically emotional this week, Aquarius, and while this can be great for added romance to your love life, it can also make you explode in a fireball of rage at the tiniest inconvenience. Moderation and patience are key to avoiding drama with your boo this week. You might have an influx of happy, lovely feelings this week, which can be really great for romance! But if you’re single, hooking up almost guarantees you’ll catch feelings, and if the other person doesn’t feel the same way, you’ll be very heartbroken.
Pisces
Virgo season = cuffing season for your sign, so even though Venus Retrograde is trying to make a mess of everyone’s love life, you’re still finding more success with relationships right now. Actually, you should be finding more success, but you’re holding yourself back. You’re phoning it in and acting the way you think you “should” act, as opposed to doing what you want to do. Be genuine. Express your thoughts and feelings. People want to hear what you have to say, and the longer you fake it, the longer you’ll prevent yourself from making meaningful connections.
