Aries: Relationship nuts and bolts

Now, for Aries, Mercury going direct in Leo is definitely a sign that relationships can move forward, and you can make constructive progress on any issue. This is also a good time for your social life as a couple—for inviting some people around and doing things that will help you guys gel again. Great romance right now is about compatibility in terms of ideas.

For you guys, it’s essential right now that there is a sense of camaraderie and cooperation, so in relationships where you just don’t see eye to eye, now’s the time to work on that, find common ground, and work on those strengths. 

Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune means that not only is it a good time for empathy in love, not judging each other, and sometimes allowing space for each other to express themselves, but it’s also a time to be pragmatic in love.

So, show your commitment by being punctual, organized, and paying attention to details because the key in love right now is that small things make a big difference, and they add up. So, you don’t want to neglect the nuts and bolts of the relationship; get those right, and your relationship is in a good place.

Taurus: Special love bubble

Now, Mercury going direct in Leo can be a little bit of a pressure valve release, particularly if you felt things just weren’t going your way recently. For many Taureans, events in the last few weeks have come out of the blue, and they may have caused you some upset. There may have been problems from the past that may have opened old wounds or were triggering to you.

What is so important this week is to understand the things that you may not have dealt with emotionally—maybe old festering arguments and disagreements that were never resolved, or perhaps you need some space alone to maybe do some journal writing to achieve closure on either a past relationship or an incident in your current relationship.

So, this last week of Mercury retrograde is really about getting your house in order emotionally, being strong, and projecting that strength in the relationship by being able to work through things yourself. 

Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces is a wonderful time for you and your partner to go on date nights, and they should involve wining, dining, movies, and magic, it’s a less good time for anything related to sports events or being around a lot of people. In love, it’s all about being in your own little magic bubble and cultivating a special togetherness, which really helps Taurus so much.

Gemini: Simplify

Mercury going direct on Thursday is super for Gemini. You are a communication-based sign. Let’s be honest: in relationships, what’s important is variety, novelty, and good conversation, but lately, maybe you and your partner were just grating against each other, perhaps it wasn’t as easy to feel relaxed, and you felt quite tense and nervy. 

Right now is great for relationships because suddenly you feel you can get things off your chest, or it might be that issues that have been troubling you in your head suddenly evaporate. It’s so important right now not to overthink things; simplify everything, and either deal with it or let it go. 

With Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, this may be a week where you suddenly spot someone at the office who all of a sudden seems rather appealing, and you may feel in love, but signals can easily be confused.

So, this isn’t a good time for office romances or friends with benefits romances because your radar is off, and sometimes inner neediness causes you to see an attachment where there is none.

So, be a bit cautious in new romance, and in existing romance, it’s really about the practical matters of understanding rather than necessarily becoming too embroiled on the emotional side of things.

Cancer: Folly and Foibles 

With Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, there is a large appetite for love, and many of you may be inclined to join dating apps, go on double dates, or do introductions via friends, and this is all a good idea.

However, you need to reserve judgment. In fact, long-distance romances are quite treacherous now, so whether you’re thinking of getting into one or you are already in one, make sure you see all the warning lights and be aware of all the pitfalls and treacherous things that can happen in these relationships because of the inherent problem of low information. 

The key, whether in existing or new relationships, is to be open to signs, signals, and intuition. It’s a time to seek more information and to reserve judgment, so keep that Cancerian reserve intact, use that hard crab shell, and don’t make yourself vulnerable in love just because you’re eager.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting romance in your life and wanting to believe the very best in other people right now, but everyone has their follies and their foibles, and right now, you want to take notice of what those are.

Leo: Ideas Rich

Mercury going direct in Leo is, of course, an exciting development for all you Leos because it takes the stress away from decision-making. It also alerts you to the fact that although there may have been some disappointments and setbacks within your work or relationship communication, new opportunities will suddenly be emerging, and you want to be ready to capitalize on them.

So, it’s important to get into a proactive stance and an ideas-rich frame of mind. So, use the week before Thursday to redirect any negative emotional energy and start focusing on the best outcomes. 

Right now, the power is in your hands, and you see that through envisioning the best. With Venus in Virgo opposite your Neptune in Pisces, this could be an awesome time to make contacts with new people who could become clients or customers who can enhance your spending power.

Business-wise, there’s a wealth of opportunities, but often these are not necessarily tangible, so you have to be mindful of the potential and see beyond the immediate hurdles.

In terms of love, trust is everything. You need to reinforce your commitment to the relationship and immediately take a step back and perhaps even have a pause where you feel your partner’s not pulling their weight. Right now, it’s time for your partner to shape up, and if they aren’t, they need a little bit of a cold shoulder.

Virgo: Wide awake love 

With Venus in Virgo, you are in the mood to enhance your relationships, but sometimes your expectations can be misplaced because Venus is opposite Neptune, and Neptune is a planet that’s not only about deception but also self-delusion.

So, while this is a wonderful time for those relationships that are spiritual, caring, and where you both inspire higher love in each other, it’s also a time when you have to manage your own expectations, particularly in new relationships.

Understand when you might be expecting too much of a partner or indeed where you might be allowing a partner to expect too much of you. Friends-with-benefits relationships are really difficult right now. It could be you leading the guy on or the guy leading you on.

So, the key in relationships right now is to have your eyes wide open. By all means, enjoy the good times and embrace the spirit of love, but do so in a way that is in touch with the reality of the situation. Mercury going direct in Leo will help your intuition kick in, and if there’s anything you need to know, your Spidey senses will give you a red warning light.

Libra: Questions and Answers 

Mercury direct in Leo on Thursday is a pretty good indicator that things within your social life are on the up. It also means that any difficulties you had recently in terms of friends interfering, maybe gossiping, or backbiting, can be resolved, and you can all take things forward, but hopefully with a better knowledge of who your friends are. Remember in the future to keep those friends close and don’t forget who the fickle friends were as revealed in the last few weeks. 

In terms of business, it’s a great time to reboot your networking as well because right now there are many potential leads you could follow which could prove to be valuable prospects going forward in terms of your career.

In terms of long-term relationships, sometimes there are more questions than answers right now, and I know as Libras, you like to weigh things up in your mind, but right now, you really have to put the facts aside and understand what your heart is telling you. Too often, we pay too much attention to the pros and cons and we lose sight of what our passion is.

Right now, relationships that have spirit and verve are the ones that are going to go forward into the future with prosperity, but relationships that are flat and somewhat meaningless are on at a mundane level that is unsustainable.

Scorpio: Do you know where you’re going, do you like the things that life is showing you?

Now, Mercury direct on Thursday is great news, of course, for your career and your future aims. Overall, in your life, you should have a firmer grasp of what you want and a vision for both your relationships and your destiny. This is a cue to seize the moment and any recent doubts you had should now have enlightened you rather than stifled you, and you should be ready to pounce. 

With Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, this is also a time when things need to become a lot clearer in relationships, and you need to be in touch with how you feel about your partner.

As Scorpios, you guys have that deep emotional, and intuitive understanding of what your partner needs. If you are willing to meet those needs, great, but if you’re not willing to meet those needs or you’re not feeling it, you need to come clean to your partner because it’s better not to lead them on.

It’s a good time to understand how your relationship will change and evolve over time, and you have to decide whether or not that is where you want to go.

Sagittarius: Mystery in small doses

Mercury going direct in Leo is going to take the strain off of you because you’ll find it’s easier to make decisions, and indeed a lot of decisions in your love life should fall into place. You may suddenly find yourself in agreement with your partner, and you can both move forward as a team and that’s one of the keys to love right now. It’s essential that you are on the same page and have that team mentality because if you guys are pushing in opposite directions, it won’t work out.

Right now, there’s a sense that as a couple, you need to be pulling your resources together to reach a joint goal. You don’t want to find yourselves working against each other or even acting as if you compete. With Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, this is not the time to be gambling in love.

So, make sure you’re as pragmatic and realistic about your situation as possible. This may not be a good time for dating a new partner, particularly when you’re uncertain about their intentions.

What’s most important right now is integrity and transparency in relationships. You can be romantic and mysterious in bed, but don’t allow any mystery in terms of where the relationship is going.

Capricorn: Recapture 

Mercury going direct in Leo is perfect for Capricorns because Leo is a fixed sign, and you are a cardinal sign. Now, both these signs are strong, but now that Mercury is going direct, it’s almost as if you’re both coming together to agree on where you need to go from here.

So, expect in love relationships for there to be a common agenda, and you can expect mutual understanding, and you will be able to see each other’s point of view. So, if there were crossed wires or there were some misunderstandings lately, that’s going to be cleared up, and you will definitely be able to take things forward in a much better way.

Now with Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, you could find that this is a time of great spiritual compatibility with your partner, and this is most definitely a time to discuss and debate. It’s also a good time to make time for your relationship to ensure that you have quality time together.

This is a wonderful time to go on vacation or make some very special dates to celebrate love and life together. There’s nothing worse for Capricorn than a relationship that’s become dull or boring, so do something to spice it up.

Aquarius: Promising Opportunities

Now, the Mercury retrograde period, I’m sure, has affected Aquarius quite strongly because, as an air sign, Mercury affects you. When Mercury is retrograde, you often get ahead of yourself. Now that Mercury goes direct in Leo, this is a time when you should start thinking of a more practical plan for what you want to do in the future, and so with your relationship, maybe you can pin down some details.

If you want to know where the relationship is going, now is a good time to start having those talks because the universe is going to make sure that if you are open, you will be able to reach common ground, and you’ll be able to make a lot of constructive progress in a relationship. 

This is most definitely a good time to get on the same page with your partner, even if it means compromising. You don’t want to feel at odds with each other, so this is the time to adjust expectations and create the understanding that helps you feel more at peace and on the same wavelength.

With Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, it’s very important to use the creative and intuitive part of your nature in relationships. So, focus on the imagination, on all the possibilities rather than the problems.

You want to have a bright and positive outlook because it helps you see opportunities that were previously hidden from you. There’s a strong indication of a sudden improvement in your finances, which could lift the relationship out of a slump as well.

Pisces: Healing Togetherness

This is an excellent time for Pisces because, with Mercury going direct in Leo, you will feel a lot more organized emotionally. Now, this Mercury retrograde has been tough for Pisces because, for some reason, all the things that you feel within relationships and love just felt really hard to express or get out in a coherent way.

There was always this sense that maybe the walls were closing in on you or that you had way more on your plate than you could deal with. But now that Mercury is direct, you feel better able to communicate, and you feel that you can start to relax and work through things at your own pace.

With Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, this is really good for Pisces’ emotional life. There’s a wonderful sense of healing, togetherness, and comfort within relationships right now.

So, you really need to let yourself relax and enjoy the love that’s on offer. Sometimes in relationships, it can feel like the need to do something, to work through something, but now is really a time to enjoy the love that’s on offer and to feel great in love.

The key is to be comfortable with what’s happening in the relationship and not feel like you need to always do something to make it work. So, just let it flow.
