The Air Signs

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

This is the time to brainstorm and gather information for some of your most exciting ideas. On Monday you may feel a new energy that manifests as a fresh feeling and determination to ride the waves of change. You may notice an increased desire to take your current relationship to a new level or transform it in some other way. A New Moon on Wednesday helps kick-start the process. It's time to get the support you need and make changes to your blog or website. Friends, co-workers, and partners can be prickly this week. Just give as good as you get and don't take it personally. Mercury turns retrograde on Saturday, so expect a few delays and keep smiling. Take care when arranging anything. There may be delays or some initial confusion, but everything will work out OK in the end.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:

A stalled or budding relationship should move ahead early this week. If someone's waiting, tell them yes or no. But how ready are you? Monday's Moon-Uranus conjunction sets the bar unreasonably high. When the Moon sextiles both Neptune and Chiron on Wednesday and then squares them on Friday, be careful about opening up to someone who could hurt you. Even if it's about your needs instead of their feelings, decide by Wednesday - once the Moon leaves Aries, you might be left out in the cold. Wake early Friday morning to seize the Moon-Venus conjunction's spark of beauty and pleasure. With the New Moon radiating powerful desire the weeklong storm preceding Mercury retrograde, distracted friends and strangers might welcome new experiences. Shortly after Mercury retrogrades late Saturday night, the Sun-Neptune sextile will help you quietly make sense of it all. Saturday's Gemini Moon influence, normally your moment of romantic strength, is diluted as Mercury retrogrades. Single Air Signs might stay single for the next few weeks.
