Who says steamy romance is just for the summer? This week, with Venus in fiery Leo and Mars linking up with its celestial partner in Aries, you can expect things to get hot. And don’t think it’s just limited to romance: this powerful trine has the ability to ignite just about every aspect of your life. Just so long as you don’t let all the attention go to your head.

Aries

You’ve never been afraid to speak your mind, Aries, so no need to start now. With Venus and Mars working together, now is the time for you to let someone special know how you really feel. That way you can finally get to the fun part of the relationship (aka them coming over and logging you in on all their parents’ fancy TV channels).

Taurus

Coupled-up bulls might feel the urge to change up the routine this week. Sure, you and your beloved have been spending every waking moment together, but how much of that is real quality time? Plan something nice to do together that’s not walking to the same little park you’ve been walking to every single day.

Gemini

Time to get your flirt on, Gemini! This week Venus and Mars are coming together to tell you to go for it. Send that risky text. Slide into that person’s DMs. And post your thirst traps with abandon. You can always delete the evidence at a later time.

Cancer

This week will bring some major clarity, in a good way, to one of your relationships. If things have seemed murky and you can’t quite remember what it is you like about this person, by the end of the week you should remember exactly what it is. (And yes, it’s okay if the answer is abs.)

Leo

With Venus in your sign and Mars in fellow fire sign Aries, you’re going to be what we in the biz call “a little extra” this week. You’re ordering Postmates with abandon. You’re wearing your most glam looks (even with nowhere to go), and you are absolutely going off in the group chat. Sorry to anyone who can’t handle it.

Virgo

The creative energy is flowing thanks to Venus and Mars this week, so what are you gonna do about it? If you’ve been feeling stuck in an aspect of your life, don’t be surprised if you find a burst of inspiration this week. You’ll be living your Carrie Bradshaw dreams in no time.

Libra

An old flame might try to pop back into your life this week, Libra. Mars in retrograde means that someone from your past could decide to attempt a repeat appearance, should you let them. Will you give in to temptation? Maybe. Will you text every detail to the group chat as it happens? Absolutely.

Scorpio

Cut your partner some slack this week, Scorpio, as Mars may have you itching for a fight. Yes, the way they texted “k” instead of “k!” was objectively rude, but as a wise woman once said, “Kim, there are people who are dying.” Spare yourself the drama.

Sagittarius

Time to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to your relationships, Sagittarius. Have you been being the best partner/friend/child/sibling/coworker you can be? Chances are, there’s someone in your life you’ve been slacking on. Pay them a little extra attention this week before you end up the next entry in their burn book.

Capricorn

This week you may be feeling the urge to get closer to someone in your life, with Venus and Mars pushing you toward close-knit domestic feelings. Just make sure you don’t try to manufacture the closeness with someone who doesn’t deserve to see you at your wifey-est. That’s for VIPs only.

Aquarius

This week has you looking on the bright side of life, Aquarius, no matter what the news and/or your sh*tty ex throws your way. You’re feeling good, and nobody can bring you down. In fact, you’re actually feeling *good* about the future of things. And they said in 2020 it couldn’t be done…

Pisces

A truth you’ve been trying to outrun will finally catch up with you this week, Pisces. Don’t let yourself compromise your core values just to avoid an awkward situation. Momentary awkwardness is better than actually agreeing to do another virtual escape room with your college dorm mates.

There’s nothing more exhilarating than planning a summer getaway. That is, unless you’re a nomadic Sagittarius or Sagittarius rising who literally spends their entire life looking for reasons to travel, so planning a trip is just another day in the life. Otherwise, looking for the ideal summer destination with the most Instagrammable photo opps is always a thrilling experience. But choosing where to go is the hardest part (aside from actually paying for it, of course). And with summer almost over—I’m not crying, you’re crying—it’s safe to say we all need a getaway, and quick! Here’s where you should go on summer vacation, based on your zodiac sign.

Aries: Asheville, North Carolina

I know what you’re thinking, Aries. “WTF am I going to do in North Carolina, let alone North Carolina in the summertime?” Here’s the deal, firecracker betch: With the sun traveling through your domestic fourth house of home and family during Cancer season, and your fifth house of romance during Leo season, your soul needs one thing and one thing only this summer: a cozy vibe. Asheville, with its vibrant arts scene and amazing food, is just that.

Taurus: A Caribbean Cruise

All aboard, betch. I know you only travel first class, but with the sun blazing through your mobile third house of transportation during Cancer season, and cozy fourth house of home during Leo season, I believe your ideal summer vacay consists of lavish comfort, (obvi) and more than one destination. This is precisely why I suggest a paradise adventure through the Caribbean seas as your best bet.

Gemini: The Bahamas

You’re feeing bougie this season, betch. You’re typically not very picky when you’re traveling, but seasons change, and obviously so does your mind. With the sun igniting your comfort-seeking second house of luxury during Cancer season, and your mobile third house of rulership during Leo season, you’re in need of something totally luxe, as long as there’s plenty of variety, of course. So my suggestion is, book yourself a snazzy suite at your fave Bahamian all-inclusive resort. The champagne will be chilled.

Cancer: Rome, Italy

When in Rome. This is your birthday season after all, right? Celebrating all month long is a must, especially since your birthday just so happened to coincide with this crazy eclipse season. Hang on to that excuse while you can. Plus, with the sun blazing through your indulgent second house of money towards the end of the summer, you’ll likely be in the mood to shop ’til you drop. Although, let’s be honest, when are you not? Splurging is your favorite pastime, and Italy will look so good on you.

Leo: The Grand Canyon

Happy Birthday, Leo. Where are you off to next? OK, so maybe summer did kick off on a weird note, but hey, at least you made it this far, right? So here’s my idea, Leo. Since the sun was traveling through your secretive 12th house of all things behind the scenes during Cancer season, and first house of “Look at me!” during your birthday season, I suggest the Grand Canyon. Why? Well, this is a perfect opportunity for reflecting and sight-seeing, and if you wake up in the mood to party, Las Vegas isn’t too far away.

Virgo: Rural Ireland

You’re feeling some type of way this season. Before you decide to take off with a group of friends for the summertime, make sure you keep your options open. With the sun igniting your 11th house of groups during Cancer season, and your secretive 12th house during Leo season, I suggest somewhere that’s both quaint and quiet… like the Irish countryside, for instance. Granted, this might very well cost you a pretty penny, but you know, that I know, that you know all the pictures will be worth it.

Libra: Curacao

You’re on top of the world, Libra. Although, I’m not going to lie to you, the sun is totally igniting your career-driven tenth house during Cancer season, so some of you might shift all of your energy towards your career this summer, but it’s time you stop overworking yourself and take a vacation. Curacao’s sizzling Caribbean nightlife is colorful, lively, and just the right amount of distraction you need to get over your toxic ex-boyfriend. Get the f*ck out of here, Libra. Your summer bae awaits!

Scorpio: Amsterdam

Admit it, betch: Amsterdam is on your bucket list, so it wouldn’t surprise me if you’ve already been there, but summer 2019 is enough reason to pay the Red Light District another visit, right Scorpio? With the sun wandering through foreign ninth house of travel during Cancer season and dominant tenth house of leadership during Leo season, you’re likely feeling large and in charge this summer. So what are you waiting for?

Sagittarius: Catalina Island

Sail away, Sagittarius. I sound like a broken record, but this eclipse season really got us, didn’t it? Anyway, with the sun shedding light on your auspicious eighth house of intimacy during Cancer season and expansive ninth house of long-distance journeys during Leo season, this summer will be nothing short of enlightening. So whether you’re in the mood to take a literal hike or go snorkeling on the beach, this quaint coastal town has your name on it.

Capricorn: Paris, France

Bon voyage! This summer will be nothing short of irresistibly steamy, so make sure to take advantage of this time and head to the most romantic city in the world. With the sun hovering over your committed seventh house of partnerships all throughout Cancer season and your sexy eighth house during Leo season, you’ll be in the mood for a romantic evening beneath the Eiffel Tower, or perhaps a night aboard Batofar. Oui, oui, betch. ‘Tis the season.

Aquarius: Miami, Florida

Your mind is at 100 mph this summer, Aquarius. Take a breather. With the sun igniting your orderly sixth house of due diligence during Cancer season and committed seventh house of partnerships during Leo season, you’ll be in the mood for the perfect getaway. Alexa, play “Miami” by Will Smith. There’s no denying this culturally rich hotspot is everything you need this season, so pack your bags. Don’t worry, betch. It’s Miami… you don’t need to pack that many clothes.

Pisces: Mykonos Island, Greece

This is how you throw a party in Mykonos, betch. No, really… wouldn’t that be the best Instagram caption ever? OK, now I sound like an obnoxious influencer. Nevertheless, with the sun beaming through your expressive fifth house of romance during Cancer season and detail-loving sixth house of order during Leo season, Greece is the perfect itinerary-friendly getaway, so get ready to party.

Alexa, play “Summer” by Calvin Harris! 

Falling in love in the summertime is inevitable, betch. Whether you suddenly find yourself crushing on a sexy coworker at happy hour, or you decide to take off on a summer getaway where you can unapologetically pull a Vicky Cristina Barcelona, rest assured, the heat is totally on. This, of course, could seem somewhat contradictory, from an astrological standpoint, considering the summer solstice is also the first day of Cancer season. (No offense, Cancer… but you know your astrological season tends to be a bit on the crybaby side…) But in the end, it’s those same overwhelming feels that flood our emotional psyche every year around the same time. Although, if you think Cancer season feels emotionally over-the-top, I suggest you mentally prepare yourself for Leo’s flamboyant theatrics. I truly can’t emphasize it enough, the summer is a panty-dropper season, and if you still don’t believe me, just wait until you get a glimpse of Leo season, because it’s going to be a cinematic experience.

Maybe I’m being cliche here, but the summertime feels like one big supercut from the 1978 romantic comedy Grease. Here’s how I see it: The first half, Cancer season, is a combination of the opening makeout scene on the beach, with a clip of Olivia Newton John’s “hopelessly devoted to you.” It’s sweet, it’s nostalgic, and let’s face it, it’s beyond sappy. Leo season, on the other hand, feels emotionally similar, but has a totally different vibe. This is everything from Danny Zuko’s melodrama in the midst of being stranded at the Drive-In, along with Sandy’s epic, “Tell me about it, stud,” before she and Danny fly away in a Ford De Luxe convertible, that’s been “Greased Lightning.” What can I say? Life imitates art. Real talk, though, who doesn’t fantasize about the ultimate summer fling? If you think I’m exaggerating, then why is it that musicians specifically wait until the summer to gift us with some of the most memorable hits of all time? #JustSaying

Looking for love this summer? See the type of guy you should have a summer fling, according to your zodiac sign below:

Aries

Admit it, betch. You love a man who takes action. You don’t like wasting time, and you get bored easily, too. So someone who’s just as hot-headed, passionate, and thrill-seeking would be your ideal scenario this summer. A hottie in the streets, and a savage in the sheets? Yes, please. Oh, and a little adrenaline-filled argument sesh every now and then doesn’t hurt—provided the makeup after is equally steamy.

Taurus

You want the royal treatment, Taurus. Aside from the fact that you’re one possessive betch, you want a man that will wine, dine, and devour you. Nothing more and nothing less. Just make sure to let him know you’re looking for more than just a summer fling.

Gemini

No strings attached, right? Don’t get me wrong, Gemini. It’s not that you’re against committed relationships or anything like that. On the contrary, you’re very much committed to flirting your little heart out, which is why your ultimate summer romance consists of something light, sexy, and mentally stimulating.

Cancer

Cry me a river, betch. You more than likely have that summertime sadness thing going, like fellow Cancer songstress Lana Del Rey. That is, if you’re not driving yourself mad dreading the thought of your fairytale coming to an end, sooner or later, of course. You don’t do flings, Cancer. You want it all or nothing at all, so don’t bother trying to make yourself believe otherwise.

Leo

You want someone who straight-up worships you, betch. You’re playful, outgoing, and passionate AF… but you’re also incredibly attention-seeking, too. So your ideal summer fling would have to be someone you can bring around your loved ones during the day, and can have all to yourself at night. As long as it’s all about you, right?

Virgo

You’re one picky betch, Virgo. You’re not as traditional as Capricorn, but you still have a type, and you’re not about to settle for anything less, either. You appreciate the courting, but you’re a sucker for the details. So he better pay close attention to you and go the extra mile. Oh, and it gets hot in the summer, too, so his hygiene better be up to par, or else it’s a no-go.

Libra

Your charm is your money-maker, Libra. Dating isn’t the issue, it’s finding your perfect match that seems to be the challenge. Unfortunately, your indecision doesn’t help either, but finding someone you can ultimately kick back with, and have good conversation with this summer will certainly do. Good looks are also a must-have, but that’s only because you’re spoiled.

Scorpio

Sexual chemistry is always a priority for you. Then again, you’re an extremist, so you’re either in it to win it, or completely uninterested. There’s really no in-between for you, Scorpio. It doesn’t matter whether you meet him in the summer or the fall, the moment you set your eyes on someone, it’s only a matter of time before you make them your sex slave for all eternity.

Sagittarius

Lust and wanderlust are two completely different emotions, Sagittarius. But we all know wanderlust wins by a long shot. All I’m saying is, your ultimate summer fling most likely has TSA pre-check. That’s all. You love the outdoors, and you’re always looking for a reason to travel. So perhaps a fellow sunset chaser and eternal wanderer will do the trick. YOLO.

Capricorn

The more successful, the better—right, Capricorn? I’m not saying you’re a gold digger, but you have to admit the facts. You appreciate a hardworking man, especially those with that C-Suite swag. You’re bound to fall for the hottie working overtime this summer. You love putting in the work, and you expect the same from the people you invest in. Time is money.

Aquarius

Relax, betch. No one said anything about making your relationship official. On the contrary, summer flings are a seasonal thing, so you have nothing to worry about. In fact, who said you can’t have more than one summer romance? I know you’re all about that free love, so don’t be afraid to do exactly that. Just make sure you don’t play any of your sinister mind games in the process.

Pisces

You’re a sultry siren, Pisces. This, of course, is especially true in the summer, as you’re one of the few who thrive during Cancer season. You are a fellow water sign, too, you know. And let’s face it, you’re a hopeless romantic, so you’re not very picky when it comes to choosing the ultimate summer love story. In fact, the more dreamy, emotional, and out-of-this-world, the more you’ll likely fall head over heels. What can I say? You’re unpredictably predictable.

To forgive your ex, or to forget your ex, that is the question. No offense to the soap opera-like water sign family, aka Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, but I highly doubt forgiving is even an option for you guys. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong here, but y’all are the most vengeful betches in the zodiac, and trust me, I know this for a fact. Why? Well, let’s just say, I, too, am a fellow water sign, permanently lost at sea in my ocean of emotions. OK so maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but I wouldn’t be a water sign if I wasn’t. Needless to say, we’re not very good at forgiving, let alone forgetting. BTW, please don’t be one of those people who live their life preaching the whole, “I forgive but I never forget” crap. News flash: If you don’t forget, you don’t forgive. Period. And let’s be honest, a water sign probably said that, too. But let’s cut to the chase before we go down the rabbit hole. 

Everyone treats their exes differently. For instance, the air signs, AKA Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, were born with a PhD in emotional detachment, and a minor in IDGAF, so even if their exes were to do them dirty, it’s not like they would even sweat the damn thing. At least not to their face, of course. Also, not to bring it back to the water sign drama, but there are some Libras with Scorpio placements out there, and well… that’s a completely different bad trip. Their idea of forgiveness consists of mental terrorism, and the silent treatment, but again, we’ll save this celestial coma for another occasion. Earth signs, aka Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, have no problem whatsoever cutting the cord, and it’s because they get straight to the point. Zero f*cks given. So much so, their no-filter shpeal could very well break someone’s heart, especially if they’re a water sign. But what would I know, right?

Long story short, here’s how you treat your ex, according to your zodiac sign:

Aries

Have you watched Dead To Me on Netflix, Aries? No, you do not remind me of Christina Applegate’s character, nor Linda Cardellini’s. TBH, the title of the series speaks for itself, and more importantly, it speaks for you when it comes to your exes. Your ex will likely never hear from you again, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. They really are dead to you.

Taurus

You’re pretty black-and-white, Taurus. But you’re also a sexaholic, and if sex with your ex is a must-have, you’ll make sure to do whatever it takes to keep them around. Some of you might even stay friends on purpose, so you can bribe them with the act whenever necessary. Otherwise, you’ll make sure to stay close to their family members in the meantime. Why are you such a possessive betch?

Gemini

Does your ex even know you’ve exed them out of your life, Gemini? OK, who are we kidding? You have the attention span of a goldfish, and the last thing on your mind is commitment. You can’t commit to relationships, and you can’t commit to not being in one either, which means you’re DTF for the most part. That is, if you’re not onto your next victim, of course. Otherwise, you’ll make sure to mind-f*ck them for as long as you live.

Cancer

I know you told him you’d never let go, but do yourself a favor, Cancer. Seriously, IDK whether to call you out, or send help. Don’t get twisted, betch. You are never ever getting back together, so enough with the #TBT soundtracks, toxic memorabilia, and meaningless “hey, how’s life?” texts. Stalking their Instagram and crying yourself to sleep is so 2012. You’ve got to move on!

Leo

Too busy reminding your exes what’s no longer theirs, Leo? TBH, not staying friends isn’t the issue, nor is it the brutal “I’ve-moved-on” vengeance that typically takes place after every breakup. The issue here is your pride, and whether or not they dumped you. If you got dumped, you’ll make sure to never look their way again. Now, if you dumped them, you’ll likely remain friends, and make sure they never get over you.

Virgo

Ruthless much, Virgo? I mean, I know they’re your ex and all, but you really know how to cut people off for good. Needless to say, there’s really nothing to the relationship you have with your exes. It’s simple: You don’t have a relationship. Also, dwelling the past is not your forte, and you’re too busy living your life anyhow.

Libra

Let me guess, Libra. You’re best friends? TBH, that wouldn’t surprise me, unless there’s drama involved, and well, we all know you don’t do well with any sort of conflict. This is precisely why you’re still canoodling with your exes and avoiding the very large elephant in the room, despite the discomfort it already brings. Then again, you don’t fool me, and you betches always have a backup plan of sorts. And you make it happen with all smiles, too.

Scorpio

F*ck, marry, kill, Scorpio? I mean, I know that’s a silly game and all, but it sort of reminds me of your love life. OK, fine. I’m kidding… or not. Let’s face it, betch: You’re like Catherine Tramell from Basic Instinct. If you’re not dating them, you’re f*cking them, and if you’re not f*cking them, they’re probably locked in a dungeon somewhere, wrapped up in chains. You’re a soul stealer.

Sagittarius

Friends with benefits, Sag? Admit it, betch: You’re friends with every single one of your exes, and you’re totally OK with it, too. You genuinely care for them, and since you totally despised being in a committed relationship with them, you secretly guilt-trip yourself into staying friends, as part of your delusional two-for-one package. What they don’t know is, you’re already hooking up with a sexy foreigner you met during spring break.

Capricorn

I see you, Capricorn. Whoever said Scorpio was the most vengeful sign clearly never experienced the wrath of the mad goat. Where do I begin? You’re into BDSM, but if you get dumped, or decide to break up with someone, you get into Mommy and Daddy mode, and not in a kinky way. IDK how else to put it, but you will literally build an invisible torture chamber, where your exes continuously run into scenarios that remind them how they wronged you. Granted, this sounds like a ballistic obstacle course, but you’ll do anything to set the record straight.

Aquarius

Your poor ex, Aquarius. TBH, I think you acknowledge them more now, then when you were in a relationship. Admit it: You’re worse than your air sign sibling Gemini with the wicked games, and you somehow never give yourself away in the process. Don’t be so cold, betch. Some people have feelings, you know.

Pisces

Boundaries, Pisces. All right, let’s focus. You do realize what your ex did to you, right? Your love life sounds like an episode of Days Of Our Lives, except you wrote the entire script, and now you’re sick of watching, and yet have no idea how to get off this nauseating roller coaster ride. It’s simple. Get over them, and go out with someone else. Stop torturing yourself, betch.

Giphy (12)

No more mental tennis, betches! Audacious Mars, planet of assertion, sex, and the cosmos’ most infamous bachelor, just finished parting ways with the mischievous sign of the twins, where he used his brilliant mind, clever quips, and intellectual agility to get it in. The warrior planet is known for its aggression and impulsiveness, ergo, our passions were expressed via sizzling mind games and red-hot banter. Mental stimulation was our jam during this savvy transit, but all things come to an end. Remember, whichever zodiac sign Mars touches ultimately determines the way we assert ourselves, physically and sexually. This celestial entity is hot-headed and animalistic, so you can already guess what happens when it camps through a hypersensitive water sign like Cancer. Dramarama? Most definitely. But it’s deeper than that, actually. Despite its reputation for being overly emotional, and a tad bit on the needy side, Cancer is a symbol of nurture, as well as our inner world.

Here’s where it can get a little tricky: The archetype of Mars is considered “masculine,” as it determines how we fight, and what we fight for; hence it’s Aries’ planetary ruler and Scorpio’s co-ruler. (Aries and Scorpio didn’t learn how to go to battle on their own, trust me.) Mars epitomizes the astrological element fire, as opposed to Cancer, who can easily cry a whole river. Get the picture? The only thing these two energies have in common is that they’re both cardinal, which means they thrive when taking the initiative. Sexually, this transit can be pretty intimate, and I’ll tell you why. In Cancer, Mars prefers to take action behind closed doors, where it feels secure, emotionally and physically. Also, vulnerability and transparency are a must-have during this time, so don’t even bother playing the cool girl card. Mars in Cancer expresses itself via cuddles, emotional bonding, and the crab’s personal favorite…cooking homemade meals!

Are you ready to take your sex life to the next level, betch? Here’s what Mars in Cancer means for your zodiac sign, featuring fellow Cancer Selena Gomez.

Aries

Don’t even think about having sex with your ex, betch! With aggressive Mars attempting to swim through your domestic fourth house of home, family, and memorabilia, you’ll likely be feeling a bit more introverted than usual during this time. Cancer just so happens to govern this area of your chart, and with your rambunctious planetary ruler Mars in the mix, let’s just say, you’ll be in your feels. Nostalgia is inevitable, so make sure to not fall for your toxic ex-hookup’s thirst trap.

Taurus

Use your words, Taurus. Mars is heating up your expressive third house of communication, siblings, and immediate network, and while you might seem a bit on edge, you’re also craving deeply emotional convos and exchanges. This area of your chart also rules your social media sector, so feel free to post that sultry selfie, especially those of you waiting for that special someone to slide into your DMs. Whatever you do, make sure you follow your intuition in the process.

Gemini

Indulge in the pleasures of life, betch. With sizzling Mars glamping through your comfort-seeking second house of finances, spending habits, and values, you’re looking for something (or someone) to emotionally invest in. This, of course, could always turn out to be a lavish spa membership, or perhaps an expensive perfume, with both an alluring and nostalgic scent, but to each their own. All I know is you’ll have no problem fueling your desires during this time, so go and get what’s yours.

Cancer

You like being on top? I know it’s not easy being a water sign, but with dynamic Mars turning up via your sign until July 1, you’re a force to be reckoned with… and you’re feeling yourself, too! Confidence is an understatement and, well, there’s really no getting in your way during this time. Although, in the midst of this sizzling pick-me-up, make sure you don’t let it get to your head. Nothing wrong with being assertive, but you don’t want to come off as overly aggressive and scare off potential prospects in the process.

Leo

Who are you fantasizing about, betch? With oversexed Mars flying high on a magic carpet ride via your secretive 12th house of dreams and all things behind-the-scenes, you’re craving something that feels out-of-this-world. Although, given the mysterious and mystical influence of the 12th house, some of you might also run into a secret rendezvous of sorts during this time. One thing’s for sure: you will feel the rush and emotional thrill of keeping a secret. Oh, and in the meantime, stay tuned for some freaky sex dreams, because they always come with this transit.

Virgo

Crushing on your coworker again, betch? With assertive Mars igniting your 11th house of groups, tribe, and extended network, you’ll be looking for a friend you can count on, and perhaps make out with in the process. Overprotective much? I know how much you love playing the Ms. Fix It card, but try not to go overboard playing Mommy, Virgo. Your turn-ons might be hard to resist, but is it worth putting your friendships and professional relationships, at risk? Not that I need to tell you this, but focus on your goals, and keep it in your pants.

Libra

Spotlight’s on you, betch. Oh, please. Don’t pretend you don’t love being in control. Do yourself a favor and stop trying to play the “balanced” mediator role. Mars is heating up your ambitious tenth house of career, reputation, and public persona, and this is your moment of stardom, so you better get it together. Meaning: no f*ckboys allowed—unless they hold the key to your success, of course. Oh, and the whole world will catch a glimpse of your sex appeal during this time, so slay.

Scorpio

Take a walk on the wild side, betch. Aggressive Mars is in the mile-high club via your expansive ninth house of knowledge, travel, and personal philosophy, and you’re as spontaneous as ever. In the mood to take risks? Here’s the deal, Scorpio: you’ll be feeling like a rebellious wanderer during this sizzling transit, so go ahead and take that leap of faith. I don’t doubt that you’ll come across an exotic admirer in the process, so keep your eyes peeled. Are you ready to get your adventure on?

Sagittarius

Don’t let those sultry desires get the best of you, betch! With fiery Mars activating your eighth house of sex, transformation, and shared resources, you’ll be an ocean of emotion, and there will be no getting in the way of your smoldering desires. Craving attention? Your sex appeal will be pretty strong during this time, so feel free to use it wisely. Oh, and make sure you put those laser-beam eyes away, unless you’re having eye sex, obvi.

Capricorn

You’re on fire, Capricorn. With the planet of desire, sex, and assertion igniting your seventh house of relationships and partnerships, you’re craving some action-packed one-on-one experiences, and you’ll stop at nothing to get your way. Also, I know bickering is more of a Mars in Gemini thing, but you’ll be craving some serious back-and-forth mind games during this time. Take it easy, though. You’ll likely be wearing your emotions on your sleeve.

Aquarius

Wake up. Grind. Repeat. Fiery Mars is igniting your sixth house of health and due diligence, and you’re as resourceful as ever. Although, in the midst of this high-energy kick, you’ll likely be in the mood for something a little more physical…and I don’t mean pilates! This area of your chart governs everything related to your day-to-day routine, which means you could do it any time, anywhere…if that makes sense. Make sure to set your out of office reply if you need to mysteriously disappear in the middle of the day.

Pisces

You’re someone’s muse, betch. Sizzling Mars is dancing through your flamboyant fifth house of creativity, passion, and romance, and you’re tapping into your repressed Hollywood starlet. Your emotions will be stirring with intensity, and rest assured you’ll be looking for a creative outlet and perhaps a toy to play with in the process. That is, of course, if it doesn’t find you first. Also, do yourself a favor, and stop taking yourself so seriously. The night is young, and so is Mars.

Ah, the stars: knowers of my love life, ability to be friend zoned, and inability to let go of emotional baggage. Whether or not you’re into the planets, sun, and moon having say over whether or not you try a weird sex thing or have a weekend trip with your mommy (two really weird examples, but whatever), it can’t hurt to have a very loose, general idea of what the weekend may have in store for you.

Are you destined to tell your f*ck buddy that you’ve caught feelings (the HORROR)? Is it finally time to stand up for your right to party at work (and get fired)? As we move out of Aries and into Taurus, things may take some weird turns for you from Friday into Sunday. Read your weekend horoscopes to find out what the stars have in store for you this weekend.

Aries

A full moon in Libra will push you to get close to those around you on Friday, Aries. You may be tempted to take a relationship to the next level, spend some quality time Netflix & chilling with that special someone, or clearing the air with a betch you’ve had a falling out with. Maybe it’s a coworker that you accidentally cc’ed on an email throwing her under the bus, or a BFF you haven’t exactly made time for lately. Either way, by Saturday the sun moves into Taurus, which will have you pushing for the more practical things in life, like revisiting your 401k or doing something responsible with your tax refund that doesn’t involve investing in Manolos. Venus will also move into Aries on the same day, making it a great opportunity to change your image. Maybe it’s time for bangs? A lavender pixie cut? Probs not, but you do you.

Taurus

It’s time to tie up loose ends, Taurus; as the sun moves into your sign on Saturday, causing a horoscope-y and spiritual rebirth. It’s a great time to walk away from that sh*tty job, sh*tty relationship, or to start over on a project. The moon will also give this bull sign a nudge on Friday and may push you to treat yo’self. It isn’t a bad thing and may help you feel more at peace with other aspects of your day-to-day, but try to curb the Taco Bell and shopping sprees.

Gemini

The moon is comin’ for ya, Gemini, and it could be the key to finally running into that special someone if you’re flying solo or adding mega sparks to an already comfortable relationship. Grab your planner and head to a restaurant opening where there are sure to be other singles, or drag your SO and plan to eat the night away (nobody wants to dance rn). With the sun moving into Taurus by Saturday, it’ll be prime time over the next few weeks to start seeing a shrink or head to a girls’ night to release some emotional baggage you’ve been carrying around, i.e., your ex you still can’t get over. Consider this your opportunity to start fresh and let go of old sh*t.

Cancer

Stop being a lil bitch, Cancer, because this weekend is a perfect opportunity for an impromptu weekend trip or event. Make time for your mom ’cause, like, it’s almost Mother’s Day, so get on the up-and-up and let this lady know that she’s the OG. The sun’s makin’ moves into Taurus on Saturday, so you may feel the need to expand your social circle, even if #nonewfriends has been your mantra for awhile now. Branch out; with Venus moving into your sign on the same day, it’ll also be a great chance to get on your boss’s good side.

Leo

The moon is in your communication zone, Leo, so it’s a great time to viciously but diplomatically defend a vision for a work project, wedding plan, or future dream home. The time to compromise is not right now; hold to your vision, even if everyone else thinks it’s lame. Once the sun moves into your goal sector on Saturday, you’ll have an insane desire to stand out. It could be a great chance to audition for that modeling gig or apply for that wild new job. Showcase your skills.

Virgo

Just say no to the splurging, Virgo. A full moon in your shopping sector could make you feel like treating yourself is the critical path right now, and we’re all for a new dress, shoes, or spa treatment. But, if you’re shopping to fill the void left by that Tinder date that stood you up (rude), set a limit for yourself. Chances are, six new maxi dresses just aren’t going to fill the hole left from Trevor who was holding a fish in his profile pic.

Saturday should help with the influx of feelings, though, and with the sun entering your adventure sector and Venus moving into Aries, it could be a great time to boost a new love connection with a weekend getaway.

Libra

With Venus as your ruling planet, you’re definitely all about love and relationships this weekend, Libra. Friday is a great day to take it up a notch with a new love interest or partner of several years, since the new moon in your sign is making you feel all sorts of feelings. Things will take a turn for the super sexy and steamy on Saturday, and it’ll be a great time to give in to your sensuality. Try a new twist on sex with your partner, or treat yourself to that toy you’ve been too embarrassed to buy.

Scorpio

Time to think about your happiness, Scorpio. A full moon in your think-tank sector on Friday has you feeling reflective and introspective. It’ll also be a great time to indulge a little, so call and book that massage you’ve been debating for the last few weeks. Saturday and Sunday present great opportunities to get comfy in your social circle, since the sun will be allowing you to look deep and appreciate the betches surrounding you.

Sagittarius

In the wise words of Snooki of House Jersey, “Party’s hereeeeeeeeeeeee.” Friday is the perfect night to get your drank on, Sagittarius, and we recommend dancing, shots, and a wild time. Don’t worry about consequences too much, either, because by Saturday, the sun in your lifestyle sector has you ready to tackle #goals. Need to go grocery shopping AND mail a letter? You got this. You’re a successful adult.

Capricorn

You’re in a glass case of emotion between wanting feelings to be out there and wanting to turn inward for some good, old-fashioned home time, Capricorn. Friday’s full moon may introduce to urge to make your feelings known to that bro you’ve been dating—be they good or bad. Embrace family and home this weekend, even if you’re usually the type to spend your weekends out.

Friday through Sunday present a great opportunity to put away that pile of laundry you’ve been ignoring or wipe the sticky wine spill off your coffee table. The sun is in your leisure sector come Saturday, so for the next four weeks you may feel the pull to settle into sweatpants and finally watch Game of Thrones.

Aquarius

Time to try something new, like that restaurant where they blindfold you, or that sex move where he blindfolds you … something with blindfolds. Anyway, the moon is pushing you outside your comfort zone, so getting adventurous when it comes to experiences is a must on Friday.

After all the weirdness, the sun will push you to step back and give yourself some nurturing, probably à la Domino’s and an at-home face mask. It’s the little things, fam.

Pisces

Feeling emotional? Did that puppy commercial leave you in the fetal position? The stars are to blame, Pisces. If you’ve been debating revealing that you’d rather have a full-blown relationship than a hookup partner to that dude you’ve been seeing, now’s the time.

Will you get friendzoned? Possibly—but the time for risk is right now. Plus, with the sun moving into your communication house this Saturday, chances are you’ll sound more eloquent than you think.

Don’t be afraid to take charge, betch. Luscious Venus, planet of love, beauty, and sparkling rosé, enters audacious Aries on Sunday, April 20. BTW, for those of you wondering, this fiery transit might very well spice things up in the love department. Although, given that irresistible Venus also governs everything related to our values, spending habits, and that which brings us great pleasure, we will likely experience a shift in more than one scenario. Needless to say, the same way we watch the days go by, and the seasons change, these celestial energies will continue pirouetting throughout the zodiac wheel, and in turn reflect onto our everyday lives. No pressure, right? Luckily for us, Venus, the Regina George of the zodiac, prefers to keep things as light and charming as possible. Not sure what I mean? Ask your fellow Taurus and Libra, as they are Venus’ children in the flesh.

Anywho, now that you’ve got the scoop on Venus, let’s talk about Aries’ BDE, considering it’s ruled by rambunctious Mars, planet of aggression and sex. Need I say more? Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, and a symbol of assertion, identity, and our sense of self. This cardinal fire sign thrives when challenged, and prefers to take the initiative. On the dark side, Aries can be overly-aggressive, impulsive, and rash; hence those born under the sign of the ram are notorious for being hot-headed, and impatient AF. So… what should we expect once easygoing Venus slides into headstrong Aries? Well, put it this way, betch: If Venus in Pisces is enchanting and complex, then Venus in Aries is anything but mysterious. On the contrary, in Aries, the cosmic coquette is enthusiastic, independent, and highly passionate with her desires, and one-on-one relationships. Aries is on that “me, myself, and I” vibe, and Venus in Aries is big on self love. Meaning, ‘tis the season of self love, individual freedom, and bold fashion. Do you, and fuel your red-hot passions.

Looking for love? Venus in Aries loves the single life, but there’s plenty of room for some impromptu action in between! For those of you coupled, let your carnal desires speak for themselves. In the meantime, here’s what Venus in Aries has in store for your love life, according to your zodiac sign.

Aries

Slay, betch. With the cosmic cover girl sizzling through your sign, you’ll be as charismatic as ever. Not that you need it, but this saucy transit will boost your confidence, so you’ll be more than ready to make those money moves. However, aside from twerking it up in your red-hot party dress, you’ll probably be in the mood to shop, too. Luscious Venus is a big spender, so be mindful of over-splurging tendencies during this time. Looking for the one? Your smoldering magnetism will be hard to resist, but something tells me you’ll have more than enough options to choose from.

Taurus

Own that RBF, betch. The goddess of bubble baths is actually quite bashful when in this area of your chart, so you’ll probably be craving some much-needed alone time. Besides, enough with the unnecessary sacrifices. Instead, why not invest in someone who’s actually worthy of your precious time? It’s called boundaries, betch. Single bulls could kick off a secret rendezvous of sorts, but I wouldn’t doubt it if you decide to keep things incognito for the time being.

Gemini

Schmooze your little heart out, betch. With sultry Venus frolicking through your humanitarian-like eleventh house of friendships, circles, teams, and tribes, you’ll be dazzling your peers, and networking with like-minded groups. Looking for Mr. Right? Not gonna lie, your prospects might very well get friend-zoned during this transit, as Venus prefers to keep it cool while glamping through this area of your chart. Also, betch: I know how much you love to gossip, but Venus is looking for the exact opposite. Indulge in the company of your ride or dies, and call it a day.

Cancer

You’re the boss, betch. The goddess of oh la la is sparkling through your tenth house of fame, ambition, and reputation in the world. So much so, that your superiors are even starting to notice! This dazzling transit will awaken your inner boss babe, and perhaps add a little twinkle to your professional life. Ready to socialize with the higher-ups? This is an excellent time to put yourself out there and mingle with your colleagues. Single crabs could find love in the workplace, or perhaps with someone in authority.

Leo

Since when did you become such a daredevil, betch? With the goddess of love wandering through your foreign ninth house of education, travel, and philosophy, you’re willingly venturing into unknown territory… and I’m not just referring to your study abroad program. Looking for the one? Single Leos could run into some steamy activity on their next adventure, or perhaps decide to elope with a random hottie. Sounds bizarre, I know, but Venus would much rather take a walk on the wild side when traveling through this area of your chart.

Virgo

Feeling witchy, Virgo? Sultry Venus is conjuring love spells through your eighth house of sex, transformation, and other people’s money. (I’m not saying she’s a gold digger.) This highly passionate transit is basically giving you permission to be the soul-stealer you pretend not to be. Also, Venus craves depth and intensity when in this area of your chart, so you’ll likely attract a more enigmatic type of suitor. Coupled Virgos could decide to pay off some financial debt, or make a charming investment of sorts.

Libra

All you need is love, betch. With the planet of beauty and bubble baths shaking her tail feather through your seventh house of partnerships, you’re as charming as ever. Although, aside from your irresistible charisma, you’re finally learning how to take charge in your on-one-one relationships. After all, Venus is your ruling planet, and she just so happens to rule this area of your chart, too. Also, I know how much you like to compromise, but don’t be afraid to own your autonomy in the process.

Scorpio

Your health comes first, betch. With the planet of love and beauty detoxing through your conscious sixth house of health, routine, and due diligence, you might need to blow off some steam at pilates, too. Feel free to invest in those cosmic yoga pants while you’re at it! Venus wants you to feel and look the part. Looking for that special someone? Single Scorpios could find love where they least expect it, as this area of your chart governs your day-to-day life.

Sagittarius

There’s plenty more where that came from, betch. With sultry Venus dancing through your expressive fifth house romance, creativity, and “all eyes on you,” you’re on fire, and you’re well aware of it, too. Not gonna lie, the planet of love morphs into a dazzling showgirl when in this area of your chart, so I highly doubt you’ll be disappointed. Attention is an understatement, so make sure you don’t lead anyone on! Needless to say, romance is 100 percent likely.

Capricorn

What does your gut tell you, betch? I know you’re not big on following your intuition, but with flamboyant Venus baking sugar cookies through your domestic fourth house of home and family, your intuition will most likely be your guide. Home sweet home is right, and our girl Venus loves interior design, so why not make the best of it? Besides, it’s not like you could ever have enough scented candles, and vintage items right? Re-adorn your living space, and call it a transit.

Aquarius

Got a secret, betch? Venus is gossiping through your third house of communication and immediate network, and you’re ready update your peers with the latest. Single and ready to mingle? The planet of sugar, spice, and everything nice is here to sweeten your words, and caramelize your exchanges. This is some sensual seduction, betch. Venus thrives when in this area of your chart, so don’t think twice about double-tapping that.

Pisces

Big spending these days, betch? Lady Venus is splurging on some audacious red bottoms via your second house of money, pleasure, and self worth. BTW, living the good life is one of Venus’ favorite things, considering she rules this area of your chart, so don’t hesitate to treat yourself during this time. Single? The planet of love is a bit nit-picky when in this area of your chart, so go easy on them. Otherwise, feel free to indulge… you’ll be as sensual as ever.
