Mercurial energy is abundant this week. The Gemini Moon encourages us to share our ideas with others, before the Cancer Moon on Tuesday teaches us the importance of honesty within our connections. The Leo lunation on Thursday gives us confidence and shows us how to love ourselves more. On Saturday, the Moon moves into Virgo, bringing the focus back to communication. With Mars in Taurus as of Monday, it's easier now to discover meaningful partnerships.

Take your time to listen to others and be more patient with them, Aries. Your relationships begin to transform this week as the Venusian energy shows you how to take a break from being a soldier.
