A lonely Libra is not a sight anyone wishes to see. But you may have to sneak away to get a moment to yourself over the next four months! Thank your ruler, convivial Venus, for this popularity spike. Starting Monday, June 5, she embarks on an extended tour through Leo and your eleventh house of community, activism and futurism. Don’t wait for someone else to organize fun and meaningful activities. Between now and October 8, you carry that baton—and people will eagerly follow your lead. Romantically, this Venus cycle is ideal for virtual baehunting, so if you’re single, you could have more fun than anticipated wooing your way through the summer BBQ circuit. The festival scene is basically your oyster right now. With your intellect fully stimulated, you could swoon, in sapiosexual style, for a seductive geek. Start by letting them blow your mind, then, you can take it further. Head’s up: Venus will be retrograde from July 22 to September 3, which could bring back a love interest from your past. Were you too quick to ghost after one coffee date? Reviving the sparks might just be possible if you apologize with every ounce of charm and humility you’ve got.
More reason to flap those social butterfly wings—and maybe extend your wingspan—arrives on Sunday, when peripatetic Mercury rolls into Gemini and your ninth house of travel and adventures until June 26. This could happen on a literal, global level (hello, Helsinki or the High Sierras!) or, if you can’t get away this month, more of a metaphoric one with a schedule packed with multicultural outings. Pro tip: Leave some white space in your calendar to accommodate unexpected invites. A long-distance relationship could perk up, but before you dismiss it out of hand, consider the benefits (your freedom; absence making the heart grow fonder) as well as the challenges. For couples, taking a baecation can deepen your connection—and set the stage for someone popping a big question, if you’re close to that!
Shift some attention to the home front on Sunday, too. Astrological alchemist Pluto—who’s been retrograde in Aquarius and your romantic, creative fifth house since May 1—downshifts into Capricorn and your domestic fourth house for the rest of its backspin, until October 10. The icy dwarf is on the very last part of its 16-year circuit through Capricorn, which puts your personal life through some paces from 2008 to 2024. With the finish line in sight, you’re probably thinking differently about family and your living situation. Perhaps you already weathered some extreme makeovers. The transformations Pluto can bring may be equal parts exciting and unsettling, but the bottom line is you’ve got a golden opportunity to review your personal life and make necessary course corrections. You may discover, for instance, that you prefer living alone, or that you need a peaceful haven under your roof. Perhaps you’ll deepen your relationship to a parental figure or the person who has the second key to your place. You might feel ready to get a roommate—or a dog! If there’s unease with a family member, you have Pluto in Capricorn (direct after October 10) until January 20, 2024. If the spirit moves you, extend an olive branch and let bygones be bygones—yes, even if you’re 100 percent “innocent.” This isn’t about being right, Libra; it’s about getting along with one of the most important people in your life. So do your thing, peacemaker! Until you get real about what YOU need to relax and recharge, you won’t be able to bring your best self into the wider world.
