When your ruling planet Uranus squares the Moon and trines the Sun on Friday, you're too wild for the fainthearted. A Capricorn Moon grounds you Friday, and conjoins Pluto for an open-minded, social weekend. If you're waiting for someone, the wait is over Sunday when the Aquarius Full Moon trines Saturn. By the time, as the Full Moon sextiles Uranus, lovers are quietly reinventing the world.

The Fire Signs

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

The major event for you Fire Signs this week is the Sun making its grand entrance into the sign of Leo, enhancing your magnetism and turning your focus to making an impact. You will be fired up and getting and giving attention from the get-go. You are happy as a clam basking in the middle of all the activity. If you're single, you feel refreshed and ready to connect. If you're in a couple, Neptune retrograde gives your relationship more of a friendship feel, than one of passion. Pluto is retrograde, which also gets a visit from the Moon, and together the two planets help you structure your career ambitions more intelligently. The whimsical Moon is playing with your emotions, making you want to take a break from the havoc of daily life. There's drama, there's stress; your optimism gets a bruise or two and you withdraw to lick your wounds. Mars and Saturn conjunct on Wednesday, bringing a feeling of restriction and stability issues.

Love catches fire Tuesday evening after the Moon enters Sagittarius. And when it trines Jupiter early Wednesday, you know your lover's mind. Wednesday's Mercury-Ceres trine brings soothing, seductive words, and by Thursday when the Sun comes home to Leo and sextiles couples-friendly Saturn, you win someone's heart, whether for the first time or all over again. Also on Thursday the Moon conjoins Ceres deep in your comfort zone and the Sun enters Leo, but Friday you stop singing the song of yourself. If Friday's Jupiter retrograde and Moon-Pluto conjunction throw you into new social situations, rise to the challenge. As Jupiter retrogrades and squares the Capricorn Moon, keeping promises becomes inconvenient as the rules of romance shift. When dating or partying Saturday night, don't discuss politics or religion. With Sunday's Aquarius Full Moon opposing the Sun, any new relationship feels earned.

The Water Signs

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Hope you're in the mood for love this week Water Signs, because a Moon/ Venus sextile is creating the conditions for heart stopping intimacy.

Also, a Mars/ Saturn conjunction has you examining issues surrounding anger and impatience. All very fiery stuff. The Sun and Mercury are making you shine on the job. There will be some communication hitches there though. Use your intuition to get to the bottom of them. The Sun enters Leo on Thursday, motivating you to want to stand out and impress. You're just as motivated to make money, thanks to the activity of Pluto and the Moon, and it's a challenge to bring moderation and balance to all this.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:

Romance and flirting are intuitive for Water Signs on Monday, although when Neptune is square the Moon and quincunx the Sun on Tuesday, noble motives clash with bad judgment. If you hook up with someone in your moral comfort zone after Saturn enters Libra on Wednesday, a Moon-Neptune sextile leads to a hot date Thursday night. Why not make a weekend of it? Since Friday's Moon-Pluto conjunction opens a window of social activity, one-on-one could pass for social behavior. Sunday's Aquarius Full Moon suggests making this a habit.
