Read your horoscope below:

Aries

On one hand, the cosmos is pushing you to decide the future of your partnership. And on the other hand, you want to break down existing power struggles and barriers that stand between you. The work is shedding light on what you truly desire, allowing you to see matters from a different perspective and define them clearly. The planetary connections give you the illusion that things are copacetic and moving in the right direction — until the evening illuminates ongoing problems. Give yourself time to choose what you want and let it come from the heart. Think about what you truly want before making a rash decision.

Taurus

The full moon is urging you to reconnect with your romantic aspirations. You might find that the path you have been on with your partner or crush has veered in a different direction. Therefore, this is an ideal time to get back on track. Plan an evening out with just the two of you, with the intention of reigniting the spark you once shared. Whether it’s a romantic picnic for two in the park or a night watching the stars in your backyard, the objective is still the same. These activities will give you a chance to converse with your significant other and have fun. You won’t regret taking the time out of your busy schedule to spend time with your loved one — to be honest, it’ll be the best thing for your relationship and get you back in alignment with each other.

Gemini

The full moon is helping you ditch your overemotional sentiments and be as direct as possible. You’re no longer wanting to play ball with people who have hurt your feelings and want to let them know that you’re upset. Fortunately, a genuine apology is on the way. Speaking from the heart and saying your truth will prove to be a great thing by the end of the week. You have to have the confidence to do it without holding anything back. Shoot for the moon and romance will land amongst the stars — if you’re lucky.

Cancer

You’re all fired up with passion, but unsure of how to express your feelings. Venus, the planet of desire, is urging you to hold back on your passions. Factor in the full moon, and you’re adding caution to the day. Be somewhat bold in expressing your heartfelt thoughts. Although you don’t want to share everything consuming your mind, let a few of your exciting sentiments out. You can save the rest for another day. Slow your roll before sending a text message or email to your partner or crush. Think of it like a love game — you can spend days telling your significant other what’s in your heart through several romantic notes.

Leo

The cosmic energy is making you put yourself second and your partner first. Since you’re usually number one in your life, it may be hard to deal with their needs and desires without having to consider yours. However, you’ll be able to adjust once you put your ego aside and on ice. Think about all the wonderful and amazing things they do to make your life easier. With that in mind, it’s time to pay their kindness forward to them and celebrate their awesomeness. Whether you cook them breakfast in bed, send a loving text, or have a beautiful arrangement of flowers waiting for them at their office or home, these tokens of love will make your significant other feel appreciated. Show you care by roaring out your sentiments through your love language, which is gift giving to those you love and adore.

Virgo

Fortunately, the cosmos is bringing out your adventurous side. For the first time in a while, you will want to take risks and leap into the unknown when it comes to your heart. This means you’ll ask out your crush without thinking about the possibility of them declining your offer. If looking for love, you’ll want to escape your mundane reality with your partner and head out of town for the night. Your desires are burning bright under the moon’s glow, heightening your sensual side. Use this energy to your advantage by creating a fun-filled evening and experience that brings you closer to your crush. This is the time to take bold steps towards bonding with the person you care about and make memories that can last a lifetime. Make this week worth your while by doing things you both enjoy so you’re enjoying the time spent together.

Libra

You have a lot of time to redefine what it means to support you. The week’s energy makes it an excellent time to check in on your love languages or love list for guidance on how you want to be treated. This energy may signify a turning point, elevating the way you share space and schedule with a partner to a new level. Don’t let your emotions box you into a lack of fulfilling partnerships this week. You will be able to cultivate the connection you desire if you stick to your list when scrolling through your contact list on your phone.

Scorpio

This week’s vibe has you thinking more deeply about the intimacy you seek to share within your partnerships, as well as potential business opportunities that could benefit your partnerships. Whether it’s you or someone else who’s crushing — love is on the brain, which means that it’s giving you lots to think and talk about. Since you’re on the receiving end of the planets, this means that a secret admirer is waiting on the app who’s ready to come forward with their heart’s desires. It’ll be a good surprise when they make their grand reveal.

Sagittarius

You want a firm commitment on where you stand with who you’re dating, and you’re ready for it to show up. This may start rather rocky, with limitations, showing you where people haven’t been showing up — a sentiment you’ll feel firsthand. Travel plans with your new crush could be in the offing of this lucky alignment. You and your boo having something to look forward to together can be inspiring for both of you in individual ways. This could bring the perfect storm of opening the gateways to getting exactly what you do want in partnership.

Capricorn

Be open and honest. Allow the articulation of individual needs to set the foundation for the accountability that mature relationships need. If you feel at all like there have been some things in your daily life that don’t allow much space for love, it’s time to restructure. This energy has you thinking about how love fits into the model of your inner life, both at home and in your mind. Foster an understanding with yourself and your loved ones about a system for bringing in more honest ways of loving yourselves and each other. There are new heights of honesty and connections reached between you and your crush now, and you can go far.

Aquarius

You’re taking more stock of what your needs are on a deeply internal level. This is going to bring up a lot in terms of treatment you give to yourself and also what you’ve accepted from others. This will change the way that you connect to those you are in love with, as it offers a chance to talk things out if there’s any differences. There is a need to focus on communicating your inner sentiments and your authenticity. It’s also time to think about how to strengthen your heart with better methods of habits that form stability in your life. When you create more stability for yourself, love shines a light on your inner and outer vibe.

Pisces

Lately, you haven’t been paying too much attention to boundaries in your relationships. As a result, you’re pushing limits with others or allowing your partner to walk all over you. Define the parameters of your relationship clearly. If you can, try to have a conversation with your crush about ways you can cultivate a healthy, lasting connection. The discussion might get a little heated, but it’s nothing that you can’t get through — as long as you remain cool, calm, and collected. The more you argue and fight back, the harder it will be to agree with your partner. Stay on the course by preparing notes before discussing matters to ensure you do not get gaslighted or sidetracked.
