Today is not a good day for love and romance. When the Moon in Virgo squares off against Venus in Gemini, tensions run high between our emotional needs and our romantic desires.
The Moon in Virgo sparks our need for emotional stability—we desire a secure person we could latch on when things get hard. On the other hand, Venus in Gemini makes us seek excitement in our relationships. Committing to one person or activity can be a difficult task, as we seek variety. When these two placements clash, it results in conflict between our need for emotional stability and our desire for romantic adventure.
This means that today, we will feel torn between wanting to settle down and wanting to explore new possibilities. Because Mercury is still in retrograde, we might also struggle to effectively communicate our emotions, causing further misunderstandings.
With all that said, how will my personal sign be able to navigate today’s difficult celestial motions? Read more below to find out.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You’re a hopeless romantic, Aries, but today, that hopeless romantic energy is a little hard to harness when the serious Virgo Moon gets into a fight with mischievous Gemini Venus. You desire a partner who can connect with you intellectually, whom you can have a meaningful conversation with effortlessly. Consistency is key, and you like a partner you can count on. However, as the thrill-seeking ram, you also desire adventure and spontaneity. When these desires clash, internal conflict ensues. You’re not sure which to prioritize—adventure, or consistency? Know that you can have both, Aries. Sometimes you just have to focus more on one over the other. The key? Knowing which to choose at any given time.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, today you’ll struggle to choose between responsibility and materialism as the prudent Virgo Moon scuffles against flirty Gemini Venus. You want a partner who is responsible and reliable, who’s only one call away when you need them. Someone sensible, someone who opens doors and pulls your chair for you. However, this clashes with your tendency to choose flirtationships, to choose people who can satisfy your material over your emotional needs. At some point, Taurus, you have to know that the material girl in you also needs emotional support. There are certain voids that cannot be filled by money and material things. After you’re done playing around, perhaps it’s time to finally settle down with someone responsible.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
When the cautious Virgo Moon confronts the playful Gemini Venus, your introverted and extroverted personalities meet today, Gemini, and they’ve decided they don’t like each other. You’re a social butterfly—being in the presence of others often energizes you. You enjoy how strangers are drawn to you, and in a way, it feels validating how much your charisma draws people in. On the other hand, you also feel a domestic need to nurture and care for others, to be extra careful of who you let into your inner circle, and you’re afraid of ruining this sacred safe space that you’ve so carefully created. However, you must remember you were able to create a wonderful safe space because you were brave enough to let people in, so don’t be so scared that you close yourself off entirely to the possibility of meeting people who are going to love you.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancer, you love being able to express your feelings well, especially in your romantic relationships. You believe love should be straightforward and simple, not elusive and complicated. However, when the Virgo Moon brawls against Gemini Venus, this clashes with your thrill-seeking, with the tension brought about by mystery in your romantic affairs. You love the chase, but you also love stability, so how do you reconcile the two? The important thing to know is that there is no right or wrong way to love. You can have a stable love that is also intense and passionate. You can be straightforward with your feelings and also enjoy the thrill of the chase. The beauty of life is how two things can be true at once, Cancer, even if these two things are completely different.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leo, everybody thinks you thrive when you’re the center of attention, the apple of everybody’s eyes. But when the Virgo Moon squares against Gemini Venus, your desire for social connection and outside validation clashes with your need for stability—particularly in the financial department. You love being the life of the party, and you love going out with friends on Saturday nights. At some point, however, you have to consider how much this constant need for socialization drains your wallet. Maybe it’s time to set some healthy boundaries. The guidance of a trusted advisor, such as your romantic partner or a close friend, can help you draw clear lines between your social life and your finances.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo, your intellect clashes against your emotions today when the Virgo Moon squares up against Gemini Venus. You tend to be analytical and detail-oriented, which manifests well in your projects but not so much in your emotions. Instead of letting yourself feel, you often analyze where these emotions are coming from as a way to avoid sitting with the discomfort of feeling them. This makes you feel attracted to people who are at your same intellectual wavelength, but your perfectionism might get in the way of you finding true love. Try to let go of the need to be perfect, Virgo. When you open your heart and your mind, when you let go of the constant need to be perfect, incredible things will follow.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, when the Virgo Moon gets into a fight with Gemini Venus today, your emotional needs clash against your desire for freedom and exploration. You might feel the need to hide your emotions today, to push them deeper and deeper until you lose sight of them, but you should know that when you do this, they will only come back stronger when they resurface. You want a partner who challenges you intellectually—wit and curiosity draws you in. But when you find someone who checks all the boxes, it scares you, so you run away instead. How would you find happiness if you keep running away when the opportunity comes your way? If you want to be happy, you must learn to open yourself up to the possibility, Libra.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)
Scorpio, today you’re protective of your inner circle when the Virgo Moon quarrels with Gemini Venus. You like people who share your values and interests—and there’s not very many of them. There are only a few people who could connect with you deeply, and this might close you off to the possibility of meeting new people. However, you also like adventure. You love intensity and depth in your romantic ventures. But how are you going to find that passionate love you long for if you’ve closed yourself off entirely to the possibility? If you desire adventure, you must learn to be open to new people and experiences, Scorpio.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius, career and romance is not a good mix for you today when the Virgo Moon fights with Gemini Venus. Your career is super important to you, and that is why today you’re working really hard to achieve your goals. Because you’re a career person, sometimes you find your work values being applied in your personal life, but being too detail-oriented and borderline perfectionist will do nothing but hinder you from finding happiness. Overthinking and overanalyzing your relationships can only lead you to self-doubt and indecision, so learning that your career and romantic life are two different things can help you navigate your personal life without the same perfectionism that you apply at work.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn, you’ve never been good at handling emotions, and this becomes a little more apparent today when the Virgo Moon squares Gemini Venus. Your emotional satisfaction comes from seeking knowledge, higher learning, and intellectual stimulation, but all these don’t really do anything to help you feel the emotions you need to feel. This means you also want a partner who shares the same intellectual values and especially helps you with your self-growth, but your judgment and overt criticism can hinder you from finding such. You’re smart, Capricorn, which is why you always listen to your mind, but if you truly want to find happiness in your romantic relationships, you must also learn to listen to your heart.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius, when the Virgo Moon squares Gemini Venus today, your need for intimacy clashes with your desire for fun and pleasure. Today, you feel introspective about your intimate relationships, and you desire a soul you can connect with on an intense level, but you also feel a strong desire for fun and pleasure in your romantic relationships. These two very different needs can be hard to reconcile, but you can do this by prioritizing which one you need at any given time. Perhaps right now, you need intimacy, and that means prioritizing deep connections with other people is more important than fun and pleasure in your dating life.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces, you like being understood emotionally, especially since you feel emotions very strongly. But when the Virgo Moon squares Gemini Venus today, you might be your own biggest enemy when you find yourself overly critical of the people around you. Even minor issues feel major to you, which results in nitpicking and overthinking. You seek comfort and security, but you feel like you’re not getting these enough, so you become critical of the people you seek these from. However, you must learn to cut your loved ones some slack because they have needs, too. If they are not able to give you what you need right now, maybe you should give them some time and understanding rather than resentment.
