Aries

This is a time to reflect on all of the relationship dynamics around you and how you are acting. Focus on your communication, especially how open you are to the people around you. With your Full Moon being in Pisces, you are going to experience a part of your spirit you don’t often see. Instead of pushing it away, embrace it and integrate all parts of yourself together.

Taurus

Those projects you’re working on are about to wrap up! As you’re accomplishing your goals, this retrograde is going to push you to think big picture about the people closest to you. Think carefully about the things you’re sharing — and the things you’re not.

Gemini

This week is a great time to take a close look at the things most personal to you. There is a big focus coming on the relationships you have with the people physically closest to you — so keep your eyes on your roommate(s) and the role they play in your life. Make a commitment to your own happiness this week.

Cancer

You are about to have the best social time, one could say, ever. Get ready for some more pleasant interactions with people you’re close to on a day-to-day basis. On the off side, your deep memories are going to reemerge so be ready to handle the heavy stuff. You’ll have to see beyond yourself in terms of culture, ideas, religion, destination.

Leo

This is the time for you to start shopping and finding those good deals. With retrograde in your house of communication and contracts, you want to make sure that any Labor Day splurges or upcoming purchases are good deals. We all want you to avoid having to make returns, your wallet will thank you.

Virgo

I hope you’re in the mood to play the mediator, because you’re going to find yourself in a position to make peace in the relationships around you. You’ll be in the position to notice misunderstandings and armed with the tools to smooth things over. In general, this week is going to be about making sense of the strange and unnerving, so keep your wits about you and push forward!

Libra

Not to freak you out, Libra, but you’re about to have some weird dreams. Venus is moving through a sector in your chart that meddles with your subconscious. Now is the time to reconnect with things you’ve repressed and the way you define who you are deep down. What’s most important this week is to meet whatever you dredge up with acceptance and compassion. Love yourself, Libra.

Scorpio

This retrograde puts you in a unique position to think about your own mind. You’ll find yourself really immersed in your feelings about your friendships, romances, and creative projects. It can be tempting to rationalize your feelings to avoid the really strong emotions, but try to avoid that this week! Feel your feelings no matter how scary the future can look.

Sagittarius

What is this, a crossover episode? This week, you’re going to find your past friends and past goals coming back into the picture. This retrograde will encourage you to come back to your old objectives and see how you can spin them into your life today. You’re attracting the right people right now, so look forward to bringing relationships you’ve missed back into your life.

Capricorn

If there’s something you had a brush with in the past but never fully got to explore, expect to see it pop up again this week. You’ll find opportunities soon to reconnect with relationships, especially with authority figures like a mentor, that were never fully realized. Your head is going to be brimming with ideas, so brace yourself for a week full of adventure!

Aquarius

Right now, is the time for you to find yourself more sensitive to other people’s needs, especially in how other people will return your energy. Try and stay positive, maybe even speaking up about it if it is going unnoticed. It’s better put your feelings out there than keeping them in.

Pisces

Love is in the air for you! Ever interaction you have will be a little bit more sweet and giving than usual. But make sure to always set boundaries in all relationships, especially when it comes to sharing and intimacy. Be patient with people but also ask for patience. Balance is the golden rule!
