Shields up! With diplomatic Venus and boundary-challenged Neptune aligned in your sign this Saturday, you may feel conflicted about defending yourself. On the one hand, you don't want to come across as a pushover, but you may also be worried about pushing people away. Fortunately, this planetary pairing can help you confidently assert yourself—AND stare down the bullies with directness and dignity. Say “no” in the sweetest voice you can muster, but refuse to budge on your bottom line. Even if it’s slightly scary, your willingness to push back will earn you respect. The moon heads into Aries on Saturday night, anchoring in your sensual second house for the rest of the weekend. Skip the grungy dive bar in favor of a more elevated plan, even if that means staying in to cook a decadent feast—and use the fancy plates and stemware! Tick a few errands off the list on Sunday. If bills are piling up, take a deep breath and sort through them. The “unknown” is more stressful than reality.
