Stern Saturn goes retrograde (backward) in your fifth house of love and creativity until June 25. You may need to deal with the less glamorous aspects of a relationship during this time. A creative project may demand hard work to get it through the final stages. Beware the ex-lover who comes creeping back asking for a second chance. Don’t even entertain the notion unless you’ve both done the requisite work on yourselves and have your lives in good order. If you’re trying to get pregnant, it may be a little harder during this time.
Friendships and communication are highlighted by today’s Leo full moon. This moon illuminates your conversational third house, making this a great week for meetings, presentations, and sales pitches. Your mind is especially sharp now, so pay attention to those little brainstorms that come while you’re on the go. You could have an a-ha moment or a great idea. If you’ve been waiting for news or an answer on a proposal, it could arrive today.
Romance is lovely, but the bond between friends is unbeatable. Love planet Venus spends the next month in Aries, your eleventh house of groups and friends. Instead of worrying about candy and red roses, reflect upon the boundless and bountiful love you have with the great people in your life. Find a way to celebrate and acknowledge them now.
Today, the moon and stressful Mars conjoin in your domestic fourth house, giving you a case of cabin fever. You may be feeling cagey and restless, which could even lead to arguments with your loved ones. Move the manic, midwinter energy around by either rearranging your décor to open up space, or by carving out a workout zone and exercising at home. Some physical activity will help dissipate the tension.
Friends can be equal parts motivating and disruptive today—not to mention flaky. Plans can change at a moment’s notice, but good thing you’re a spontaneous sign at heart! Don’t get upset if a night at the club turns into movie night in (even if you put on a fabulous outfit). Avoid the temptation to mediate between two warring pals or colleagues—you’ll only be a casualty if you get caught in the middle. Walk away!
Be mindful not to project your complicated emotional baggage onto other people, especially the person you love. Today, a surge of jealousy or distrust could flare up, and you might just fly off the deep end before you’ve had a chance to process it. Reign yourself in and dial up a thoughtful, psychologically astute friend for some advice. Even if your feelings are accurate, it’s always best not to react in the heat of the moment.
The first part of today is perfect for fun and romance. You could even do something creative, such as taking a dance class or an art workshop. Or, take your camera out and shoot some cool photojournalism-style pictures. A Sunday afternoon date could be the perfect cap to the weekend. This evening, spend time cleaning, organizing and getting yourself set up for the week ahead.
