HOROSCOPES
Desire. Details. Destiny.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Drama mode is fully unlocked, so proceed with caution. With Venus strutting into Leo this week, your love life is about to get a serious upgrade in the theatrics department. Whether you're single or coupled, expect grand gestures, passionate declarations, and maybe a little too much emotional intensity for your own good. Your natural fire sign energy pairs beautifully with Leo's flair for the dramatic, so don't be surprised if you find yourself planning elaborate date nights or having heart-to-hearts that feel like scenes from a romance novel. Just remember: not every conversation needs to be a Shakespearean soliloquy.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Stability meets sparkle: finally, a combo that makes sense. Your practical nature gets a glamorous makeover this week, making you irresistible to those who appreciate substance with style. Venus in Leo trine Saturn in Aries is your cosmic green light to get serious about love without losing the fun factor. If you're in a relationship, this is prime time for those "where is this going?" conversations that actually lead somewhere productive. Single Taureans will find themselves attracted to partners who can offer both excitement and reliability. Think less bad boy/girl energy, more "has their life together but still knows how to have a good time."

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Your charm offensive is about to get an upgrade. Your natural adaptability becomes your superpower in love this week, embrace the unexpected invitations, the spontaneous date ideas, and the conversations that veer into fascinating territory. Venus in Leo sextile Uranus in your sign brings unexpected romantic opportunities that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about your type. That quirky person who's been sliding into your DMs might actually be worth a second look, and existing relationships could take surprising turns that breathe new life into old patterns. Your wit has never been sharper, so use it.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Time to come out of your shell and into the spotlight. You're feeling brave enough to express feelings you've been keeping under wraps, and the response will likely surprise you in the best way. Whether it's telling someone you love them for the first time or finally having that difficult conversation with your partner, your emotional honesty becomes magnetic. With Venus dancing through dramatic Leo, your usually private approach to relationships gets a bold makeover. Your nurturing nature takes on a more confident edge, think less "I'll take care of you" and more "let's take care of each other in style."

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Your scene, your script, your moment. Venus in your sign means you're practically glowing, and everyone's about to notice. This is your week to be unapologetically fabulous in love, whether that means planning the most Instagram-worthy date of all time or simply allowing yourself to be adored the way you deserve. If you're single, prepare for options: plural. If you're coupled, your partner is about to fall in love with you all over again. Just remember that true royalty shares the spotlight sometimes, so make sure your romantic gestures go both ways.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Perfectionism in love gets a passionate makeover. Your usual need to have everything figured out takes a backseat to raw, authentic connection this week. If you've been overthinking a romantic situation, it's time to let your heart lead for once. That person who doesn't fit your usual checklist might be exactly what you need to shake up your carefully ordered world. Venus in Leo opposite Pluto teaches you that sometimes the most beautiful relationships come from embracing the messy, imperfect, utterly human parts of love.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Passion is on the table. With Venus lighting up Leo's dramatic stage, your relationships are calling for more intensity and less diplomacy. This week, saying exactly what you feel trumps keeping the peace, and the results will be surprisingly liberating. If you've been walking on eggshells around someone, it's time to have that honest conversation. Your natural charm gets a fiery upgrade, making you bold enough to pursue what you really want instead of settling for what's comfortable. Love requires taking sides sometimes, so pick yours.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Your mysterious allure meets Leo's theatrical flair, so prepare for fireworks. Your intense nature pairs perfectly with Leo's dramatic energy, creating romantic moments that feel like they belong in movies. Venus in Leo trine Neptune in Aries turns your love life into a beautiful daydream with the potential to become reality. Trust your intuition about that special someone: your psychic radar is particularly sharp right now, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Love is calling your name. Your natural wanderlust gets a soulful upgrade, making you seek partners who can journey with you both geographically and spiritually. Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune brings spiritual awakening through romantic connection this week. Whether it's a deep philosophical discussion on a first date or a relationship revelation that changes how you see love itself, prepare for your romantic horizons to expand dramatically.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Ambition meets affection: a power couple move. Venus in Leo trine Saturn in Aries rewards your patient approach to love with some seriously passionate payoffs. If you've been building something real with someone special, this week brings the recognition and commitment you've been working toward. Your practical nature becomes incredibly sexy when combined with Leo's flair for grand gestures. Think less "let's discuss our five-year plan" and more "let's build our empire together." Your disciplined approach to relationships gets the dramatic flair it's been missing.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Rebellion in love takes on a whole new meaning. Your usual detached approach gets a passionate wake-up call this week, and resisting the intensity will only make it stronger. Venus in Leo opposite Pluto in your sign forces you to confront what you really want versus what you think you should want in relationships. If you've been keeping someone at arm's length, it's time to let them in closer. Your innovative approach to love gets tested by old-school romantic feelings, and the combination is more powerful than you expected. Sometimes the revolution starts in your own heart.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Your romantic dreams are about to get a reality check, in the best way. Venus in Leo trine Neptune in Aries makes this the week where your most beautiful romantic fantasies have the potential to manifest in real life. Your intuitive understanding of love gets a confident, bold expression that draws exactly the right kind of attention. If you've been daydreaming about someone special, it's time to turn those dreams into action. Your compassionate nature takes on a more assertive edge, making you brave enough to pursue love instead of just hoping it finds you. Trust the magic you feel, it's real.
