Venus and Mars met each other in the sky super early at 1:04 am. You don't need to know much about mythology to know that these planets are romantically, sexually entwined. Both Venus and Mars are in Leo, a warm, loyal Fire sign that rules the heart, but Venus is currently retrograde, meaning that this combination will feel very sensitive. Often, when Mars and Venus come together, we enjoy a feeling of self-contentment, especially around romance; in Leo, the most egotistical of all signs, the self-satisfaction factor can be bananas. With Venus retrograde, note where in your life you're feeling wistful: You have the energy and fire now to heal it.

Aries

There's a bittersweet vibe around romance today, Aries, but soon Venus will end its retrograde, and life will feel like it's moving forward again. Reconnect to your creative side— you'll surprise yourself and find the boost you need to power you through the day.

Taurus

You're in the last stretch of all kinds of bullshit, Taurus, especially relating to your home situation, your family, or your roommates. Nostalgia over the past may fill your mind—but remember that time isn't linear. It could all come back around again in a new form, place, and space.

Gemini

Lunchtime looks exciting, with unexpected meetings or genius ideas coming your way—but think twice before making any solid commitments or plans. You don't have all the information yet, or maybe you simply just aren't sure how to verbalize what you're feeling and wanting at this time.

Cancer

Unclenching your crab claws can be difficult at times, so today, I want you to congratulate yourself for doing a great job of and purging the unneeded crap in your life. Things will start feeling like they're moving forward soon: It's been a long summer, Cancer.

Leo

Warrior Mars and lovely Venus met together in the sky early this morning, in your sign, Leo! You're noticing where in your life you lack contentment; however, you have the energy and inspiration to address your needs. Time has been moving so slowly lately. Soon things will speed up.

Virgo

The Moon in fiery Aries will bring up some sensitivities in unexpected areas; however, it could lead to some interesting, productive conversations. They say sharing is caring, but Virgo, today I want you to note who respects your need to watch out for number 1.

Libra

If you're one of those Libras who are terrified of confrontation, stay home with your phone off today. People are weird and erratic early this afternoon, and you're bound to have some spastic social interactions. Also, you're ready for a new pack of friends: it's coming soon!

Scorpio

Usually, if you have to force something to happen or to work out, it won't be as great or real as it would if you just let it be. You're learning this lesson, especially around your career or reputation. Sudden surprises in your schedule may throw you off, so stay flex.

Sagittarius

Unexpected flirtations will come your way this afternoon, Sagittarius! It's a strange day; you're feeling a little unsure about your goals and dreams, but the Moon in fellow Fire sign Aries is keeping things fun and adding a dash of romance.

Capricorn

Sometimes owing someone something, or vice versa, keeps you in a relationship, and sometimes (even if we can't admit it) that's what we want. A sweater, a pair of headphones or an old pack of rolling papers left at your ex's house is security that you might see them again. Let it go today, Capricorn.

Aquarius

There's nothing better than watching the people you love start to love themselves, find happiness, or succeed, but you might feel a little confused right now about how the relationship has shifted or how you can continue to be a good support to those you love. Things will begin moving forward soon.

Pisces

If you haven't realized that it's back to school season now and that you're supposed to be stocking up on pens and planners, then I don't know where your head's been, Pisces. I guess you've been drifting off, you flakey fish! But no, really, you have to get organized: Your sanity depends on it.
