Give your pursuit for romance a rest as a more patient approach to partnerships is called for this week. Irrepressible Mars joins responsible Saturn in your 7th House of Others on Wednesday to bring relationship issues to a head. You can repair damage and earn trust by being truthful about your desires. It’s not easy to deal with a demanding person or a stressful situation, but this is a chance to demonstrate that you’re willing to work for love. The bold Leo New Moon on Friday gets your weekend off to a hot and spicy start.

This complex time is highlighted by your key planet Venus’ stressful connections with disruptive Uranus and evocative Pluto midweek. Don’t try to hold on to plans, people or values that have outlived their usefulness. If you’re willing to let go of the past and step out of your comfort zone, which admittedly isn’t easy for Taurus, Friday’s generous Leo New Moon will bring you even more pleasure in return. The transition may be a bit bumpy, but is a necessary part of your heart’s journey.

The analytical Virgo Moon travels through your 4th House of Roots this weekend, provoking a bit of practical self-examination and possible changes on the home front. Focusing on one critical issue can lead to a breakthrough that allows you to find a successful resolution. The more willing you are to look deeply within and start making adjustments the freer you will feel. Your confidence grows when you face your inner truth and start acting upon it.

An in-depth conversation can lead to surprisingly successful results this week. Friday’s expressive Leo New Moon falls in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem, which is ideal for rethinking your priorities when it comes to your time and energy. Clear thinking and straight talking are on the weekend’s agenda once the Moon shifts into rational Virgo and your 3rd House late Friday afternoon. Explaining yourself without letting your emotions take over can heal wounded alliances or open the way toward a new one. Don’t be shy about asking tough questions if you want to know the truth.

Friday’s New Moon in your courageous and demonstrative sign provides the drive, confidence and creativity to go after who and what you want. But you’re also guided by common sense and patience as energetic Mars and realistic Saturn align favorably with this Sun-Moon conjunction. A little bit of self-restraint is perfect for the weekend as the Moon enters practical Virgo where details count and remaining reasonable is a must.

Your wit is a powerful asset this weekend with the Moon’s presence in your sharp-minded sign and brainy Mercury aligning creatively with innovative Uranus. Bright ideas attract attention but be careful to avoid being so clever your comments go over people’s heads. Pay close attention to your audience so that you can make the connections you’re seeking unless you have so much going on in your mind that you secretly wish you could be alone.

Partying with pals is perfect this Friday with the enthusiastic Leo New Moon landing in your 11th House of Groups. Even if you feel like staying home, getting together with friends is bound to boost your spirits. This New Moon aligns favorably with assertive Mars and productive Saturn in your sign, which earns you rewards thanks to your sense of responsibility. This trust is a precious asset for building lasting relationships, so treat it with the respect it deserves.

Friday’s Leo New Moon illuminates your 10th House of Career, which can put you in a leadership position. Creativity and generosity are keys to making the most of your time in the spotlight. The rest of the weekend finds the Moon in practical Virgo and your group-oriented 11th House, which can attract constructive criticism from friends. But if you’re working for a cause in which you passionately believe in, you could make a special connection that will reward you on a personal and professional level.

Your challenge this weekend is to figure out how to take care of all the tasks on your plate and still have some time left over for fun. One way to do this is to start working in advance instead of leaving things until the last minute. Demonstrating how organized you can be may not sound especially enticing, but planning ahead can enhance your reputation and sends a clear message that you are someone who can be trusted.

Escaping from your usual environment puts some extra spice in your personal life this weekend. The earthy Virgo Moon will be in your 9th House of Faraway Places on Saturday and Sunday, which gets your blood pumping when you hit the road. Combining business with pleasure is recommended, but express opinions graciously since minor debates might get out of hand if you’re not careful. Think of life as an adventure and enjoy the ride.

Friday’s audacious Leo New Moon falls in your 7th House of Relationships, which is bound to heat up your personal life. An individual could come on so strong that it turns you off. Sure, you enjoy appreciation and attention but pushy people tend to make you uncomfortable because you like to feel independent. Instead, why not take the lead by making your own bold and exciting plans for your current squeeze or by openly sharing your feelings with someone you want to know better.

There are some details to be worked out with your present partner this weekend. The analytical Virgo Moon is in your 7th House of Relationships where untangling knots is a key to happiness. If you’re single and looking, be discriminating about your connections. Don’t waste time on petty and critical people who are more into putting you down than building you up. Waiting for the right person who will cherish your heart is the first step to romantic success.
