Aries
Tonight, the Scorpio Moon links with several planets as it flies through an intimate and dark zone of your chart, Aries. If you’ve been holding back or bottling up feelings from your partner, they have to come out tonight! You’re uber sensitive and prone to letting all your emotions out right now, so try to speak calmly to avoid any kind of blow-up this weekend.
On Sunday, the Moon enters optimistic and carefree Sagittarius, and the Sun enters dazzling Leo for the next month! This activates your chart’s sectors of love, fun, and adventure! The mood is lifted, romance is abundant, and your sex life is fired up for the summer. At the end of the week, Mercury goes into retrograde—you can still enjoy yourself during Leo season, but keep in mind that practicing patience will get you through the occasional frustrations of this retrograde cycle.
Taurus
The Scorpio Moon tonight activates your romantic relationships, Taurus. Depending on how you feel about the ones in your life right now, tonight could be lots of fun, or the weekend can go up in flames. Some necessary conversations and deep connections regarding your love life will occur, so try to prevent a serious talk from becoming a serious fight by really thinking through what you want to say.
On Sunday, the Moon enters Sagittarius, and the Sun enters Leo, illuminating your domestic life and your more intimate relationships. If you live with your partner, be prepared for some intense moments the next month with Leo season’s influence. Mercury retrograde is infamous for causing disruption and frustration, and it starts at the end of the week in the same part of your chart as the Sun—your home life. Exercise your famous patience, Taurus, and things will run smoothly.
Gemini
There’s a saying that fits perfectly with the theme of your weekend, Gemini:“If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else???” Tonight, the Scorpio Moon runs through several aspects with other planets, and the tumultuous energy asks you to look at your day-to-day habits, as well as how you really feel about yourself. The things that need to change the most stand out to you, and you can make a plan to improve them.
You realize your emotions towards yourself can be projected onto your partner on Sunday, when the Moon enters Sagittarius, highlighting your relationships. It's the perfect time for deeper relationship talks, as the Sun enters romantic Leo this week, in the communications zone of your chart. This signifies important conversations about your love life as well as the possibility for new connections! Last but not least, your ruling planet Mercury goes into retrograde at the end of the week. Misunderstandings and setbacks are likely for the next few weeks, and you’re urged to take things slow.
Cancer
Your famous moodiness is on display all weekend, Cancer, and your claws might come out! The Scorpio Moon is illuminating your romantic life, and the many sharp angles it makes with other planets expose some deeply buried feelings within yourself as well as your partner. Some raw, visceral emotions will emerge and, due to the emotional openness of this weekend, you'll eliminate any baggage or issues in your love life by really talking it out. But tread lightly: the heightened sensitivity can cause some serious hurt if you aren’t able to be considerate and understanding.
At the end of the week, the Sun moves from your sign into Leo, and Mercury goes into retrograde. Your season ends, and right out the gate, the stars are calling for frustrations and miscommunications. You can feel like a soft-shell crab at times, Cancer, but this next month will help you toughen up!
Leo
Before Cancer season finally draws to a close, your sign has to go over a couple more speed bumps, Leo. The Scorpio Moon is deeply emotional, and you’re incredibly touchy. Your relationships are still under review from the frustrating Mars retrograde in your opposite sign, Aquarius, and this Moon places additional stress on your love life.
If any fights break out, the Sagittarius Moon on Sunday promises a lighter mood, and there’s potential to make up if you can say sorry. That same day, Leo season officially begins—happy birthday! Your bold personality shines its brightest now! But don’t get crazy just yet: Mercury goes into retrograde in your sign this week. Yes, this time of year is all about you, but thoughtfulness and patience for others is a necessity for Leo season to run smoothly.
Virgo
This weekend is all about going out, hooking up (or wanting to), and making some genuine connections, Virgo. This is the last weekend of the year when your chart’s social zone is highlighted by the Sun, so don’t miss out on any final opportunities to meet someone new or go on a date (remember—Venus, the planet of love, is in your sign, upping your charm and sex appeal!)
Sunday brings the end of Cancer season as the Sun enters Leo and the Moon enters Sagittarius. The vibes for the next month are quiet and private for you. If you’re with someone, you can connect on a deeper level with them, but if you’re single, don’t anticipate any new lovers. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, going into retrograde this week only worsens circumstances by making it harder to connect with people. Be patient with yourself and others as you navigate the communication issues with others during this period—when this drama is over, Virgo season will be right around the corner!
Libra
The Scorpio Moon tonight is usually sensual for you, Libra, but all of the planetary drama it runs into this weekend can put hookups on hold. This Moon will bring any drama or unspoken problems in your deepest relationships to the surface, giving you the potential for healing or hurting, depending on how you play your cards. If you’re single, your relationship with *yourself* will come under review.
Sunday night recharges your batteries with a social, upbeat Sagittarius Moon and the start of Leo season! The focus of the next month shifts to your hopes, dreams, social life, and forming new bonds with people. If you’re single, perhaps that “special someone” can mosey into your life! Mercury retrograde starts at the end of the week, so expect frustrations revolving around miscommunications within your friend groups, as well as the possibility of old partners reappearing.
Scorpio
The Moon in your sign helps you to open up, but watch out for feeling extra-sensitive this weekend, Scorpio. Your romantic relationships come under fire and unresolved issues demand resolution. Fortunately, lucky Jupiter in your sign hopes to ease tension and reduce the stress of this turbulent weekend. If you’re single, there’s potential this weekend to experience genuine emotional connections, perhaps with someone new, as love planet Venus transits into your chart’s social zone.
On Sunday, dramatic Leo season begins. You’ll start to see the long-term consequences of your past actions during this next month–not just in love, but in all areas of life. If you’ve been treating others well, expect to be rewarded, but don’t be surprised by negative karma if you haven’t! Mercury retrograde in Leo begins at the end of the week. This causes issues with communicating with others, and your response to these setbacks have lasting importance, whether these issues feel significant or not.
Sagittarius
Are you ready for Cancer season to end, Sagittarius? The moody, sensitive Scorpio Moon is a drag and you might need to spend this weekend alone, but on Sunday, social Leo season officially begins! The fiery, fun atmosphere is only enhanced when the Moon enters your sign at the same time, boosting your natural optimism and charisma.
Venus in Virgo brings the chance for new romances, and you steal the spotlight wherever you are with your natural charm. Additionally, the Sun in Leo brings romance to the astrological atmosphere and favors adventure—someone you meet on your summer vacay could sweep you off your feet! Mercury does go into retrograde later this week, however, so prepare for communication issues and delays in travel.
Capricorn
The summer heat is getting turned up more and more, Capricorn. Can you handle it? Cancer season has turned all of your focus on your relationships, and the Scorpio Moon this weekend instigates some emotional turmoil coming from your love life. On Sunday, the Moon enters Sagittarius, creating more moodiness, and the Sun enters sensual Leo. This is a deeply passionate time of year! Those you are most intimate with become your priority, which is great for romantic and sexual connections. How you treat the people who are closest to you (as well as how you're treated by them) have significant consequences this month.
Mercury goes into retrograde in this intimate part of your chart when the week ends, so be cautious and patient when dealing with your loved ones. Mercury retrograde brings misunderstandings, delays, and connectivity problems, which you won’t want to struggle with during this intense time.
Aquarius
After a couple of busy months, the daily drama you’ve been dealing with settles and your love life takes priority, Aquarius. The intensely emotional Moon in Scorpio stirs up tension with other planets, so watch out for any grumpiness this weekend—especially with aggressive Mars still in retrograde in your sign! Thankfully, come Sunday, the Moon enters vibrant Sagittarius, and your social life lights up! The Sun also enters your opposite sign, Leo, on Sunday, so whether you’re single or taken, this week bodes well for new connections, hot hookups, and an all-around great time.
Mercury goes into retrograde at the end of the week, however, indicating a time of delays and frustrations in your relationships. Rest assured that the Sun in Leo is great for your sex life, but any relationship misunderstandings or miscommunications you face during Mercury retrograde will be reoccurring themes for the next three weeks until the retrograde ends.
Pisces
After the last weeks’ stress, this weekend’s Scorpio Moon brings optimism and excitement to your life, Pisces. Pleasant energy between Venus and the Moon encourage connecting with others and building on your relationships through shared experiences—it’s a great time to go on a date or a short trip with your boo! A little warning: Other planetary tension with the Moon enhances your sensitivity, but don’t let that ruin your fun weekend!
Venus in your opposite sign, Virgo, is still bringing good luck to your relationships, but the beginning of Leo season changes that on Sunday. The Sun enters Leo, joining Mercury, and brings your work life and responsibilities into focus. Mercury also goes into retrograde at the end of the week, and you focus further on your day-to-day obligations, as more frustrations than usual occur. It won’t be impossible to have fun or find love, but you’ll just need to ensure your duties are fulfilled before you can enjoy yourself for the next month.
