The Moon is in introspective and analytical Virgo today—as is Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Venus will challenge Saturn, the taskmaster of the zodiac, at 8:31 PM. Dates tonight may feel some stress: Saturn‘s favorite word is no, and being refused is not something Venus is okay with. Be aware of blocks around intimacy tonight—don‘t push back. Instead, reflect on your boundaries and their purpose in order to see the situation clearly. The walls were put up for a reason: Respect and try to understand them, rather than tearing them down.

Aries

Mercury retrograde is over, but you still feel like all your plans are up in the air. Stay flexible around your schedule this evening: If you don‘t, you‘re bound to face some major frustrations. Stick to what you know tonight, rather than trying something new.

Taurus

Lovely Taurus, this evening is probably better spent alone; you’re better off focusing on creative efforts than flirting. I know you‘re in the mood for love, but intimacy is sticky tonight. If you do meet with a crush, be prepared for a strangely serious vibe.

Gemini

Mercury retrograde is over, but blocks and obstacles are still in your way! Your partners, romantic and otherwise, are confronting you this evening, and it‘s making you question your home or privacy situation. Create strong boundaries around privacy tonight, Gemini!

Cancer

Communicating your needs to a crush or to people you‘re collaborating with creatively could be very, very frustrating this evening, Cancer. Avoid an argument by doing something you‘re actually great at: listening.

Leo

Slowly but surely you‘ve been learning a lot about your financial habits, your talents, and how to create more material abundance in your life. Tonight you might learn a hard lesson about these themes, but no worries—things will turn around, especially if you behave maturely!

Virgo

Venus is in your sign, Virgo! Are you feeling lovable, beautiful, and all things wonderful and Venusian? Tonight has some challenges, and you may not get everything that you want, but you will definitely get what you‘ve worked for.

Libra

Conversations won‘t really go anywhere tonight, so don‘t bother. Be extra careful about saying things you don‘t mean or talking about things you actually don‘t really know much about. Practice your listening skills instead.

Scorpio

There will be plenty of drama this evening around wondering if you’re good enough for the clique— don‘t feel pressured to be someone you‘re not. The real you is just perfect, Scorpio! Plus, Venus is in picky Virgo so people are feeling critical.

Sagittarius

You hate being a party pooper, but tonight you may have to put up a wall. Nosy people want to know all about your business, but not everything is meant for public consumption. Turn your phone off this evening.

Capricorn

While you are one of the most realistic people, Capricorn, this evening I suggest you do your best to escape reality—perhaps through a film, a book, or an inspiring lecture. Venus is in fellow Earth sign Virgo, supporting you as you seduce whatever it is you desire.

Aquarius

This evening is tense, and you may decide to dump a friend today—which isn‘t easy for you, Aquarius, since you are the sign of friendship. But the fact is you have no room for manipulators in your life!

Pisces

There‘s tension in your relationships this evening. Does your partner feel beautiful? Do you two feel supported? Questions will pop up this evening; however, tonight might not be the best time to try to solve all the issues—one step at a time, Pisces!
