With Mercury retrograde nearly over, and a new moon in Aries at the beginning of this week, energies that carried over from last week are being forced to switch up for your highest good. There is so much going on energetically, and nobody is safe.
Learn what your sign has in store for you in the week to come in the areas of love and work. Click through the gallery below.
Aries
Last week, the collective Aries sign had some lagging emotional baggage clearing to handle. This week, if you are an Aries in a relationship, it is likely that the equilibrium shared between you and your partner has balanced, and a refocus on where the relationship is, and where it is going, has come into alignment. If you did the work from last week, you should indeed be smooth sailing for the rest of the month, when it comes to matters of the heart.
Keep this progression going by remaining emotionally, spiritually, and physically aligned with bae.
With the new moon in Aries this week, expect to have an explosion of fiery divine feminine energy! If you are single, it is likely that you are back on team #dreamingofyourfutureboo. Last week was full of Mercury retrograde emotional derailments, but this week, your attitude towards future love should be lighter. You will likely want to pump up your Va Va Voom this week, so pop those girls out, put on them pumps, and wear your best popping Fenty lipstick sis!
This week should start out with a bang for Aries, because you will be caught between work and play! New developments in your career or work could pop up out of nowhere that will take all of your attention. Try not to forget to put yourself first when it comes to your health, diet, and appearance. This week, you should be prepared and "camera ready" because you never know what opportunities might come. Time management will be one of your struggles this week, so make sure you have your alarm clock set.
Taurus
Taureans are learning lessons about letting things in their relationships build and grow without force.
There is an energy of being present in the now of the relationship and taking things day-by-day. The energy calls for you to see what you want to see as a future goal, instead of wanting that outcome now. If you were pushing for that ring, or for that move-in date, realize that experiencing the changes of the relationship in the now, will only enrich and better the outcome of each milestone.
If you are single, you might be in a place that you truly are running on your own time, and working on your own inner and outer development, separate from the desire for a potential life partner. At the same time, you will allow yourself to entertain someone who has something to offer, to help elevate your goals and achievements. The feeling of not wanting to align with someone that can't better your life in every way will likely be on the brain this week. Quite frankly, if a person of interest is not an addition to your package, then, you won't be doing the math.
When it comes to career and finances this week for Taurus, there is an energy of coming through a difficult financial or work-related period that possibly put a huge obstacle on our paths but made us stronger in the outcome by learning from the setback, or mistakes made. Due to the fiery new moon in Aries, many of us are now at a new beginning where we are eager and open to move forward. You may find that you become very inspired and come up with new ways to expand and succeed. Go for it sis!
Gemini
Last week, many Gemini signs were emotional roller coasters, or hot and cold when it came to love. This week, it seems that your attention might be totally distracted by something entirely else. It's possible to have feelings of being foggy, or detached from your partnership this week. It's possible that you could have a "Me First" attitude without even realizing it, especially if you're running on autopilot. This might not be a bad thing, as it will give you a chance to work on solo ambitions.
Putting your own 1+1 together might be your first priority in sorting out emotional and energetic changes.
If you are single and casually dating, you might find yourself wanting to be catered to this week. You will be put off by any small talk, low vibes, or simply have a short tolerance for anything that disrupts your flow. Under this fiery Aries new moon, there is a collective feeling of not extending any extra energy to anyone who you don't see as compatible. Don't be surprised if your flirting this week includes a lot of sass! There is an attitude of "either come with it all the way, or don't come at all." You won't be impressed by anything less than extraordinary when it comes to dating and sex.
For Geminis, this week could be hard on you in regards to having to play nice with others, who you don't feel have the same ambition, or drive. At work you may feel that you surpass certain people around you, who might be lazy, or underachieving at the job - but it might go unnoticed to everyone else. Don't allow your frustration about what other people are doing, or not doing, to affect your workflow and your efficiency. If your work ethic speaks for itself, any prosperity and abundance coming to you will be yours.
Cancer
For the Cancer signs in love, it seems that the energy from last week has carried over and there is still a quiet, introverted, and resting phase surrounding your love life. You'll be undergoing a "Love Hangover." For Cancers in a relationship, you might be in a place where things are not the greatest, but not the worst either. Emotionally, your vibrations might tip a bit to the left or tip to the right, but overall there seems to be a very still energy surrounding Cancer signs. It might feel like something is brewing, that is neither great or bad, but a reaction is in the process of happening.
Last week for the single Cancers, the realization of your ideal future with someone starting coming into focus, and this week, some Cancers might be feeling that what they want doesn't exist! Do not beat yourself up for feeling like you can't get what you deserve when it comes to finding a partner. Many Cancers might find that their prospects are either vibrationally underwhelming, or possibly less experienced than them.
You deserve the equivalent of yourself.
And though it might take a few more spins on the dating wheel, you have to trust and believe that ultimately you will find your way to the one that you want.
When it comes to money or career this week, many of you might find that you have lost a spark for something you are doing at work or creatively. If you feel that you have been giving a lot of your time and energy to something that feels routine, underwhelming, or non-reciprocating, it could be time to redirect your focus, or think of ways to pump some life into your coins. Success is not always on the fast lane, so you might have to get through the down time without flatlining.
Leo
For Leos in a relationship, the week might start off a bit tense in the love department, but as the week goes by, don't be surprised if you are unexpectedly delighted by a new development in your relationship. There is a lot of positive vibes surrounding Leos at this time. Something in your relationship might turn around, and that thing that was a problem for a long time might finally fall right into place. Ride this wave of Aries energy, and do your best to enjoy the small things, that make your relationship worth everything.
If you are single, luck is on your side this week! You might find yourself in the right place at the right time around the right people, if you allow yourself to think outside of the box, and try new things when it comes to dating. If you are currently casually dating, you could find yourself on date number #2 or so, with somebody that is engaging, lively, and popular. This time however, you might want to start digging a little deeper, and peeling the next layer of this individual's persona.
This week, when it comes to work and career, you might find yourself feeling behind, or stuck in a rut. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. The importance of relationships when it comes to business is all about building cohesive bonds with others in your network. In whatever industry you work in, you want to be known as someone who is easy to get along with, and can take and give constructive criticism. Maintaining a stellar reputation is key to progressing financially.
Be open and willing to join forces, or at least study someone who has been where you are.
Virgo
Many Virgos have been having a time dealing with the contrast of inner and outer feelings. It seems like half the Virgos are really working with positive thinking and communicating how they are feeling from their hearts, and the other half of some Virgos are still having trouble with any stubborn desires or demands from their partners, and are going through the silent struggle of holding back deep resentments of past issues.
Single or taken, you might find that you're somewhere in between both spectrums, or you fluctuate between the two. With this aggressive and fiery Aries energy, this week could bring everything to a head. Stay grounded. If you are single, fight the urge to rush a budding relationship. You don't want to end up with time and energy dedicated to a dead end.
When it comes to money and finances this week, some Virgos might realize that certain blockages to their coins could be some of their own limiting beliefs, habits, or fears.
The energy is asking you to let go and shed any personal energy blockers, in order to reverse any delays that the retrograde has likely contributed to. There is an energy of showing your own self tough love, and calling yourself out on your own BS. We are not perfect, and we always don't get it right, however, actively making sure that you keep yourself in check and disciplined when it comes to prosperity and personal accountability is something that we should take full responsibility for.
Libra
Last week there was a fast-moving, divine feminine energy that surrounded Libras. That energy moves right on into this week with many Libras wanting to play by their rules in love. If you are in a relationship, you could find yourself giving your partner a short rope about the things you find annoying or your expectations of them. This energy warns you that being controlling in any way could could be a result of something inward that is unsettled. With this fiery Aries energy, be sure to process any swift emotional feelings that come up this week before bringing it to your partner.
If you're single, you might be currently outgrowing old attractions and expectations. You might even surprise yourself by what and who you find yourself into these days when it comes to new prospects. This might start off feeling disorienting, or even hopeless if you realize that you don't know what you want anymore, but if you open up your evolving tastebuds, you might find a whole new sea with lots of new and different types of fish.
When it comes to money and career this week, many signs are going through a transition into new interests and opportunities. For Libras, a shift in focus will be on the brain. Where you have been steady dedicating your time, there is a growing desire to move into uncharted territory. At first, you might feel that you are abandoning ship, but you will likely realize that you are merely evolving into something greater.
Allow the journeys of others before you to clear up some confusion as you find your balance again.
Scorpio
For Scorpios in relationships this week, there is a good energy surrounding the balance and openness of your bond. If there were issues of not being on the same page last week, this week you should find a common ground or completion of a couple goal. You might find that you both are getting better with communicating where you lacked, and understanding where one another are coming from.
The energy here is asking you to strive to maintain a fun and light dynamic in your relationship, no matter how long you have been with your partner.
If you are single, "Why So Serious?" Scorpios are deeply emotionally and spiritually sensual, and sometimes this could cloud your idea of who your perfect match is or should be. Last week, there was a frustrating energy of wanting to find someone who matches you, but this week the universe is asking you to shed any romanticized ideas of who this person will end up being.
When it comes to money and career, many Scorpios are ready to level up! This fiery Aries new moon energy is pushing Scorpios to expand and enterprise. There is an entrepreneurial energy that is coming through this week that will have you ready to get those business plans together, or pursue that new position in your company. Whatever the case, get ready to feel a surge of focused energy that will make you spearhead your glow up.
Sagittarius
Last week was a tough week where conflict popped up for Sagittarius signs in relationships. This week, the energy is balancing and you might not be feeling as anxious or suspicious. Allow yourself to release what patterns don't serve you or your relationship. If you fight the calming inner peace that is overcoming you, you will miss an opportunity to find clarity in letting go of old situations.
Learning how to walk away from your own blockages is the beginning of starting anew.
If you are single, you might get a lot of attention from suitors who you have a wonderful, exciting time with, but the connection might be more about "no strings attached," than it is "happily ever after." If you have the feeling that your recent catch will be no more than a "wyd" type situation-ship, by all means do what you do, but don't get too comfortable with doing "couple-like things" like extended sleep overs, cooking breakfast in the morning, or excessive pillow talking. Guard your feelings by always keeping the dynamic in context.
When it comes to work and career, Sag signs might be undergoing heavy shifts in realizing a deeper purpose, or sense of what they want to contribute to the world. This could be frustrating because on one hand, you stay focused and directed when it comes to your goals, but this new sense of self is throwing a wrench in your operation. The fiery energy of this new moon in Aries is really forcing you to listen to your intuition when it comes to your next steps, even though you are still figuring them out. Give any new developments time to materialize.
Capricorn
This week for Capricorns in relationships, you might find that your relationship will benefit from you taking the time to explore who you are becoming as an individual, and how this is changing the things that you need from your partner. If you are with your soulmate, it is likely that they are mirroring the same energy. What you are struggling with is a reflection of what your partner is going through. Remembering this will help you understand the changes that are happening within yourself.
If you are single, it is likely this week that you are having an imaginary argument with the person yet to come into your life. This internal conflict is more about you and your subconscious frustration with not finding your match. If you find yourself drawn to memes like, "... meanwhile, I can't even get a text back!," or lowkey salty #teamsingle type posts, you might have to step back and realize that feeding into this energy, will only block you from manifesting your soulmate.
What you energetically digest is ultimately what you attract.
When it comes to Capricorns in the money and career department, try to remember that being too serious and forgetting to enjoy life as you work hard to secure the bag can add a lot of anxiety and unnecessary pressure on your spirit. Sometimes the best opportunities come out of fated meetings and taking risks. Capricorns likely push themselves to their limits, but doing so can essentially have the opposite effect.
Aquarius
This week, Aquarians will go hard for their partners. The fiery Aries new moon energy will have you being a complete ride or die for yours. When you are deeply connected to another person, whatever hurts them, hurts you too. Be there to support your baby with whatever they may need to get through a rough patch. Synergy with your boo will be deeply in tune this week, as well as feeling your partner's emotions from afar. Be careful to not be too overprotective over you love, and inadvertently make something worse!
If you are single and have had bad luck in the dating department, it might be time to do something to switch up your routines. Switch up your hairstyle, or treat yourself to a couple of new outfits. Investing in your own upgrade will help raise your morale surrounding your relationship status. If anything, sprucing up your look or doing some spring wardrobe shopping should be for you first.
Splurge a little bit on treating yourself to things that make you feel confident.
The new moon in Aries is really pushing people to transition into new careers or money-making ventures. For Aquarians, you might find yourself interested in acquiring new skills or education in a field of interest. Whether you want to enroll in some community sewing classes or consider going back to school to get your masters, this week will be filled with the desire to step up your game by adding credentials and mastery to your resume. This is not only about institutionalized education. Get on YouTube and research how to get into what has been peaking your interests.
Pisces
This week, there might be an energy of wanting to escape from any existing problems (big or small) in the relationship for some taken Pisces. I don't say this to mean that you don't want to fix any issues in your relationship, but this week you might really be feeling like you just need to set it on pause.
Taking a little time to focus on the brighter side of things will help you recharge and get back to any problems at hand with clearer insights.
If you are single, you will feel as if the universe is actively blocking energies and people that will not serve your greatest good. You will almost have this preemptive knowledge that going down the wrong route with the wrong person will only cause drama that you don't need to associate with. You may also have no time for dealing with "mansplaining," or know-it-alls. Your spirit will repel them like bug spray! Be sure to heed your intuition to avoid having to get somebody all the way together.
This week when it comes to money and career, some Pisces will be eager to get a passion project up and running. This energy is all about gearing up and setting a plan in motion. You may be more determined and motivated at work to grind and push yourself to reach financial goals of not having to feel like you have to "chase the check." No matter what you do to support yourself, the endgame is finding lasting security and upward mobility. Be open to expanding your network by offering your hand or expertise in what you do, or volunteering on a project that can put you in a position of more opportunity. Fostering symbiotic relationships with people in your sphere will eventually lead to you being able to make Boss moves on the daily.

Reset Your Relationship: How To Start 2025 Strong With Your Partner
As the calendar turns and a new year unfolds, many of us are laser-focused on our career goals, fitness resolutions, and vision boards that outline the journey to our best selves. But amidst all the planning and self-improvement, have you made room for another important part of your life? Your relationship.
It's easy for couples to fall into a routine, going through the motions and letting their connection sit on autopilot. While comfort is natural in a long-term relationship, it’s important to remember: that what you don’t nurture, eventually fades. So, why not make 2025 the year you reset your relationship? Here’s how to start the year with a renewed bond, reigniting the spark that brought you together.
Step 1: Schedule Your Reset Meeting
The first step to hitting the reset button is a State of the Union meeting with your partner. This is your chance to take a pulse on the relationship, discuss what's working, and identify areas that need attention. It’s all about creating space to reflect, without distractions.
Grab a pen and paper (or open a shared note on your phone) and come prepared to share your top 2-3 desires for your relationship.
What do you both want to feel more of in 2025? Maybe it’s feeling more appreciated, or perhaps you want to reignite the passion you had when you first started dating. Whatever it is, get clear about it, and make sure both of you are on the same page.
This isn’t just about listing your own wants, it’s also about discussing ways to nurture each other’s needs. Relationship goals should be focused on fostering deeper intimacy, trust, and mutual respect. Use this time to check in, not only with each other but with your individual feelings and expectations. Set the foundation for a fulfilling year ahead.
Step 2: Set A Date (Or Multiple!)
Having the meeting is only the first step. Now, it’s time to take action. One of the simplest ways to breathe new life into a relationship is by reintroducing consistent, intentional time spent together. For many couples, life gets busy, and date nights fall by the wayside. But dating doesn’t stop when you say "I do"—in fact, it’s even more essential.
During your reset meeting, lock in a regular date night that works for both of your schedules. This could be a weekly dinner date or an every-other-week adventure—whatever keeps things fresh. The goal is consistency. It’s easy to push date nights aside when life gets hectic, but if you set a specific date each week or month, you’re making your relationship a priority.
If you’re unsure what to do for your date nights, don’t worry! The key is creating new experiences together. This is what sparks excitement and brings you closer as a couple. Whether it’s cooking a new recipe together, trying a dance class, or exploring a nearby town, it’s about creating shared memories that build your connection.
Step 3: Find an Accountability Partner
Just like you might have a personal trainer to help you crush your fitness goals, an accountability partner for your relationship can do wonders for keeping both of you on track. Consider hiring a marriage coach or therapist—someone who can meet you where you are and guide you in strengthening your relationship.
When selecting a professional, it’s important to choose someone who truly wants the best for your marriage and can provide actionable advice.
Don’t be afraid to set high standards for your relationship, and seek guidance on how to keep it thriving for the long haul. In your reset meeting, discuss your commitment to growth, and be honest about areas where you may need support.
Marriage isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it endeavor—it’s an ongoing process. Regular check-ins with a professional can help keep your relationship in tip-top shape and “divorce-proof” by addressing issues before they become insurmountable.
Step 4: Try Something New Together
Stale routines can easily make a relationship feel monotonous. Spice things up by trying something new! Couples that explore new activities and create new memories together have stronger, more fulfilling bonds.
My husband and I host one of the top luxury marriage retreats, A Weekend For Love, designed to help couples experience new things together. From couples' workshops to outdoor adventures, the retreat provides a platform to rediscover each other and reconnect on a deeper level.
The element of surprise can reignite your connection. It’s exciting, fresh, and shows your partner that you’re committed to growing together. This doesn’t have to be a huge commitment—it could be as simple as trying a new hobby or planning an impromptu weekend getaway.
Your Relationship Should Be A Priority
As you start the year with personal goals in mind, don’t forget the importance of nurturing your relationship. It’s easy to get caught up in work, fitness, and family obligations, but your bond with your partner deserves to be at the top of your list. Resetting your relationship offers an opportunity to reignite that spark and remind each other why you fell in love in the first place.
In 2025, make a commitment to prioritize your partnership, to nurture it daily, and to invest in its growth. Take time to celebrate each other’s victories, support one another’s dreams, and build a foundation of love and respect. When you start the year with a clear focus on your relationship, you’re setting it up for success.
So, before you start mapping out your new workout plan or work goals, do yourself a favor: put your relationship at the top of that list. Your love story deserves a fresh start, too.
Happy New Year, and here’s to a love-filled 2025!
Couples, if you are ready to do the work and invest in your relationship register for A Weekend For Love: Heart Retreat Feb 21-23, 2025.

WNBA star Angel Reese stuns on and off the court, and now she’s spilling her beauty and skincare secrets with us. The 22-year-old gave some insight into her beauty and skincare routine while speaking to Vogue, including her game day routine.
“My grandma used to always put mascara on my eyes when I was younger, and I used to go on the basketball court; that’s how I got the name 'Bayou Barbie' ‘cause I always had my nails, lashes, hair done,” she explained.
Below, Angel shares the skincare products that make her skin glow and her go-to makeup looks.
Check out her routines below.
Skincare
Vogue/YouTube
Angel starts with La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser. “I love skincare. Makes me feel good, makes me feel cleanse, especially after a long day because I’m always on the go,” she said. “I play sports, so my face is always drenched with sweat, and I always gotta keep it clean.”
Vogue/YouTube
Angel uses two moisturizers. She uses Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer SPF 30 first and follows it up with Cetaphil Soothing Gel Cream with Aloe.
"You have to use the thinnest layer and then the thickest layer," she said. "I learned these tips because one time I posted a skincare routine and they were like, you need to run that back. And they taught me you need to do thin then thick and then I could see the complete difference with my skin."
Vogue/YouTube
She keeps Laniege Lip Balm with her at all times, including during games.
Vogue/YouTube
One-Size Setting Spray is her go-to for keeping her makeup fresh on the court. “I usually spray my beauty blender with my setting spray,” she said. “People usually wet the beauty blender under the water, but why not set it with this.”
Vogue/YouTube
She rounds out her beauty routine with mascara, brows, and her lip combo using Rare Beauty Kind Words Lip Liner and Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss. But before closing, she made sure to give flowers to the WNBA stars before her who were also known for getting glammed on and off the court.
“I gotta give kudos to the girls who were wearing makeup before. Lisa Leslie, Skylar Diggins, Candace Parker. Everybody already had their edges and their lashes, lipstick on," she said. "Tina Thompson; she used to wear a full red lip on her lips during the game, but that’s something I could probably never do.”
