From Cosmopolitan

After a total lunar eclipse in Aquarius last week, the Universe’s high energy is calming down and its speed is slowing down. While Mercury is in its first retrograde week, a transiting Pisces moon inspire a compassionate dive into our sensitivities and compassion. Feel all the feels so you can heal! The weekend’s Taurus moon will inspire you to take these sensitivities and do something practical and helpful with them.

It takes two, Virgo. You’re feeling compromising, romantic, and excited to connect. Consider the idea of "opposites attract"-you’ll grow around contrast. Ready to take dynamics to the next level? The energy gets sexy and real midweek. Don’t be afraid to get a little messy.

Lower the stinger and Scorpio’s claws. This week’s theme is simple: resist defensiveness. Difficult, I know, but assume people are here to help, not harm. Your productivity is off the charts-you're slashing to-do lists left and right, which inspires fun and romance this weekend because you're feeling less stressed. Plan a date night!

There’s no place like home, Sagittarius. Rest, recharge, and get cozy at home. Let others see your vulnerabilities and sensitivities, too. After a staycation, you’re ready for excitement and bliss, so go a little out of your way to have fun. But balance the weekend’s joy with taking care of business. Cross off those bullet points on your to-do list!

Use your words, Sea Goat. Sure, actions are loud, but this week’s moon transits inspire you to pay attention, speak, and listen carefully. You should try so hard that you’re exhausted from it. Then, midweek, spend your nights at home home so you can relax and tend to self-care. If you’re feeling more social, the weekend has flirting and fun destined for you.

“Detached Aquarius”? Where? Not this week. You’re closer to cherishing the values, people, and places that you adore. Protect what gives you happiness; release what gives you pain. Then you’ll be the most talkative, charming others with your curiosities and storytelling. Recharge your energy this weekend with a night or two in.
