Single: Love and romance are in the air for you, single Aries! Venus is bringing joyful energy to your month, pulling you toward the best parties, club openings, and other swanky events around town. While you’re out and about, don’t be surprised if someone catches your attention. The planets are aligned for romantic risks, so get out there, and don’t be afraid to give out your number. Then, when Venus goes retrograde on the 22nd, spend some time analyzing what you want. This is a perfect time to make a pros/cons list of your love interests and decide who fits into your future.

In a Relationship: Things are about to get deep, Taurus, but in a good way.

Single: Pack your bags, single Taurus. It’s time to go on an adventure, as the full moon in Capricorn on the 3rd enhances your desire for knowledge and exploration. Literal adventures are great, but you could also embark on a more metaphorical trip that will expand your worldview. Maybe you sign up for a new class, or visit a thought-provoking exhibit at the museum. Whatever it is, this new knowledge is key when it comes to your sense of self and your relationship dreams. While you're expanding your horizons, put yourself out there and meet some interesting people. As Venus goes retrograde on the 22nd, it’s important to be honest with any potential partners about your truest wants and desires in relationships. Keep your heart and mind open!

In a relationship: This month is all about communication for you, Gemini, which isn’t unusual for the chatterbox of the zodiac. But the full moon on the 3rd brings an emphasis on talking things through with your partner. It’s possible things have been moving in hyper-speed for the two of you lately, but try to hash out any disagreements you might have swept under the rug recently. Be sure to approach these talks with love, though, because Mars, the planet that rules over action, is in fiery Leo, potentially leading to harsher-than-desired delivery. As the month progresses, you’ll find common ground and equilibrium in your partnership. Plus, all of these deep chats will bring you closer than ever!

If not, the full moon on the 3rd is the perfect time to set some healthy boundaries (like, can your partner *please* stop leaving trash in your car?). Figuring out these guidelines with your S.O. is crucial because this month, you’re focused on building your future. As your relationship deepens and important matters, like sharing finances, come into play, it’s necessary to be crystal clear about what you expect from your partner. Don’t worry, though: The general energy of the month supports love and self-assuredness for you and bae, so it’s likely these conversations will go better than you expect.
