It’s a big week for matters of the heart. Love planet Venus enters nurturing water sign Cancer on the 30th. After a month of mind game flirtations with Venus in Gemini, this is a softer vibe. That same day, Chiron—the wounded healer—stations retrograde in Aries. Chiron stations can bring painful or embarrassing experiences meant to crack us open so that we can heal our hearts. Mercury retrograde reaches its halfway point on the 31st bringing logical clarity to emotional times.

Venus squares off with Saturn in Aries on the 1st—an aspect that usually brings romantic blocks and challenging emotions. But later that same day, Venus contends with Neptune in Aries, an aspect of  fantastical romantic immersion. Some things are very hard right now. But other things are very beautiful. This week requires us to hold space for both.
