When we put aside our expectations, we win big.

We've started to realize that when searching for love, it's best not to dwell too hard or long on the idea, as this kind of concentration can drive us nuts. There's an expression that goes, "give it up, get it all," and it refers to the hidden power of detachment.
During the astrological transit of the Moon opposite Venus, we get to see what being detached brings us, as three zodiac signs finally let go. In return, we get everything we've wanted. We let go of that stranglehold we had on expectation, and now, love is coming our way.
Moon opposite Venus shows us that love is not a thing we can predict; it's there, that's for sure, but the less we focus on it, the easier it finds us. When we put aside our expectations, we win big. Congrats to these astrological signs beginning a powerful new era on Thursday:
1. Gemini

It hits you sideways, Gemini. You weren’t even thinking about love, or maybe you were, but in that abstract, Gemini way of yours. More curious than committed. And that’s exactly what works for you during Moon opposite Venus. Your casual shrug to the cosmos is what opens the door.
This energy softens your inner monologue and lets someone in, almost accidentally. You’re not on high alert. You’re not scanning for signs. You’re simply being yourself, and someone sees it. They see YOU. And it feels mutual. This is what it looks like when love drops by, unannounced.
Give yourself credit. It’s not easy to release control, especially when you’ve got a thousand tabs open in your mind. But that flicker in someone’s gaze, the one you never thought would be for you, is all for you now.
2. Virgo

You weren’t planning to fall for someone. You were busy tidying up that inner world of yours, sweeping emotional debris into corners where you thought no one would look. But under Moon opposite Venus, someone does. And instead of judging, they marvel.
There’s a strange grace in your vulnerability now, Virgo. You’re not trying so hard. You’re not picking apart each interaction for flaws. And somehow, in this gentle, grounded state, love slips through the cracks. It finds you mid-thought, mid-task, mid-life, and it feels honest. Whoa.
Let go of the idea that it has to look a certain way. It never did. This isn’t a spreadsheet to be balanced. This is serendipity, holding out its hand. Take it. It's all good in Virgo-land.
3. Pisces

You feel it before it happens. A lightness, a letting go, the kind that comes after crying or laughing too hard. It’s your heart remembering how to breathe again. Under this Moon opposite Venus transit, your longing transforms into magnetism.
You’ve carried love like a dream for so long, kinda of fuzzy and far away, but always somehow unreachable. Not fair! But now you stop chasing. You surrender. And somehow, that’s the exact moment it comes into focus. Perfect!
There’s poetry in this day for you, Pisces. Not the kind you write, but the kind you live. Just don’t doubt it when it arrives. You’ve earned this moment. Stand still and let it meet you. Hello, love.
