No one will ever be perfect, but that doesn’t mean you can’t love them, Taurus. Today’s Scorpio energy targets your house of romance, love and relationships, making it incredibly profound.
You have been going back and forth about a particular relationship in your life; however, it feels like today will offer you a breakthrough moment.
By realizing that neither you nor your partner needs to be perfect, you may finally be able to decide the future.
Gemini

Don’t let anything make you doubt yourself, Gemini. Scorpio energy helps you to understand what you need, as well as how you approach relationships.
While you discover you’ve been overly and unfairly judgmental of your partner, you’re also about to finally understand why.
Oftentimes, pointing out your partner’s flaws means that your feelings have changed, even if you didn’t want them to. Today brings the truth: you need not doubt yourself and what surfaces.
Cancer

Your love must possess greater meaning, Cancer. There is no point in pretending that you want just a causal relationship or are solely looking for someone to marry.
With Scorpio ruling your house of marriage and relationships, you need depth, purpose and meaning in your romantic life.
Today’s energy will inspire you to reconnect with your inner self and desires for love. Be sure to honor what arises and allow yourself to follow your heart, no matter where it leads.
Leo

Get to the truth of the matter, sweet Leo. Mercury and Mars in Scorpio will inspire you to take action in your relationship, or in a situation related to your home. This energy may prompt you to consider moving, relocating, or resolving some old childhood wounds.
Yet, it will also awaken within you what you genuinely want from your life. It may require change, but it will be well worth it when you can finally wake up next to the love of your life.
Virgo

Secrets will never stay hidden, dear Virgo. Although you tend to be forthright in your relationships, that doesn’t mean that your partner is.
You may be conscious of your honesty when communicating with your partner, yet there are some feelings that you have been avoiding. Today brings whatever has been hidden to the surface.
You have inclined your lover or the special person in your life. Not everything is as it has seemed, and today you will finally find out why. Be sure you’re not avoiding dealing with this secret when it’s finally out in the open.
Libra

Invest in yourself, dearest Libra. Although you are the zodiac sign that represents romantic relationships, you haven’t been focusing on love recently in your own life.
This chapter of your life is all about you, which means today you are being urged to invest in yourself. Whether this involves diving into your own healing, or making a smart professional move, be unapologetic about chasing your dreams.
If you do have someone special in your life, then be sure that you’re not letting any relationship drama distract you from doing what is best for your future.
Scorpio

Believe in yourself, Scorpio. Mercury and Mars will collide in your zodiac sign of Scorpio today, bringing about an intense and personal revelation. This energy will have you choosing yourself, and making moves that you never thought possible.
Not only does this carry primary character energy, but it also involves you prioritizing yourself. You don’t often throw caution to the wind and choose yourself, but today’s energy inspires you to do just that.
This is not an impulsive decision, as it’s been something you’ve been wrestling with, so it’s important to believe in yourself.
Sagittarius

You can’t ignore your desires any longer, Sagittarius. Your desires don’t arise to ruin your life or plans, but to help show you what is most important.
You’ve already tried talking yourself out of what you most want, or in giving a relationship a second chance. Yet no matter how much you have, it hasn’t erased the longing in your soul.
Today is the day to honor your desires, recognize them as a sign from the divine, and take action. Listen to yourself and believe that what you’re feeling is coming from your healing, and not your wounding.
Capricorn

You can’t overlook the shadow side of love, Capricorn. Whether it’s the darkness of you and your partner, or the unspoken truth of your relationship, the shadow side of love is not something to be ignored.
Be sure to be completely transparent with the special person in your life today, and see them for who they truly are. Don't wear rose-colored glasses; instead, deal with what is in front of you, especially if this is a relationship you want to keep growing.
Aquarius

Listen to your emotions, Aquarius. You can’t go through life checking all the boxes and then wonder why you don’t feel connected to what you have created. Instead, you have to take time to reflect on your emotions so that you can finally understand their purpose in your life.
Today’s energy inspires you to take action based on your emotions and how you want to feel in your life. Massive transformation is in store for you, but you need to base your decisions on what you think, rather than relying on an imaginary checklist for happiness.
Pisces

Your dreams are calling, dearest Pisces. Today brings a beautiful and positive energy into your life, as Scorpio represents your house of luck, abundance, and new beginnings. With Mercury and Mars here, you will receive an offer for love, travel, or relocation that you are meant to take immediate action on.
If something arises that doesn’t necessarily feel connected to romance, it’s essential that you still let yourself seize it, as there is a divine plan in place for your life. Just because you can’t see how it’s all connected, doesn’t mean that it’s not.
