Your Parenting Horoscope For February 27-March 5

It's true: Your zodiac sign plays a part in how you can live your best life, from which sex position you should try to identifying your dream career goals. Romper partnered with astrologer Maressa Brown to share how every sign can put the current astrological aspects to work and enjoy even more happiness, wellness, and love every week. Here's your weekly horoscope for February 27-March 5.

You already know Mercury retrograde messes with all things related to communication, transportation, and technology for three weeks at a time, and thankfully, we won't have to deal with another one of those until April 9. But on Saturday, March 4, Venus will begin its retrograde, which lasts through April 14, slowing down and throwing a wrench in matters of love, money, and beauty. In other words, Venus retrogrades are not the ideal time to ask your hair stylist for that daring new cut or color. Moneymaking-related plans may be delayed or confusing. And most of all, because Venus rules our relationships and wedding dates mark the "birth" of your marriage, it's usually best to avoid tying the knot during a retrograde.

A more positive aspect to look forward to this week? On Sunday, Mars in Aries forms a positive angle to Saturn in Sagittarius, which can fuel your efforts to be assertive or get an intimidating job done. Sweet!

Read more below to find out what this week's forecast means for your sign.

You'll get a sudden burst of confidence that makes you even more assertive in your closest relationships on Thursday when Jupiter in your seventh house of partnership opposes change-maker Uranus in your sign. Whether you're discussing the best way to transition your toddler out of bed-sharing or the best budget for the month ahead, you'll feel comfortable owning and expressing your views. Go for it!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

If you've been craving one-on-one time with your partner, or thinking about green-lighting a date with that guy or girl you've been chatting up, consider making a child care game plan for Sunday. That's when go-getter Mars forms a positive angle to taskmaster Saturn in your eighth house of sexual intimacy, so you'll have the energy, drive, and passion to make a romantic or sexy fantasy very real.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Caroline Wurtzel/Romper

Don't worry if you start finding it extra challenging to pin down social plans from Saturday to April 14 while Venus is retrograde in your eleventh house of networking and friends. You may have a moms' night out on the calendar, but everyone bails at the last minute, because kids are sick or their care fell through. Or that work happy hour is like pulling teeth to organize. Doing your best to go with the flow preempts stress.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You could be empowered to make a major decision about your job or child care sitch on Thursday when lucky Jupiter in your fourth house of family life opposes change-maker Uranus in your tenth house of career. Whether you've been thinking of bailing on a gig that just doesn't feel right for you, or you want to make a play for a longer maternity leave, you'll feel like this is the moment to stand up for yourself. You've got this.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

You can look forward to a fantastic burst of fiery, take-charge energy on Sunday when go-getter Mars forms a positive angle to taskmaster Saturn in your fifth house of romance. It'll feel like the perfect day to go on an adventure with your loved ones, doing something ambitious like hiking with your 9-month-old, rock-climbing with your big kid, or even running a 5K for charity with the whole crew. Let your intuition guide you, and you'll have a memorable, fun-filled time.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Caroline Wurtzel/Romper

It's time to talk to your partner or boss about that pressing money matter you've been sweeping under the rug on Thursday when lucky Jupiter in your second house of income opposes change-maker Uranus. You may be stressed about a payment that's running late or setting up that life insurance policy you aimed to get before the baby was born, but speaking up and expressing your concerns now puts your mind at ease.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Caroline Wurtzel/Romper

If you've been trying to figure out a new ways to better juggle time with your baby and work, consider meditating or carving out a little bit of quiet time on Wednesday. That's when the confident sun and dreamy Neptune pair up in your sixth house of wellness and routine, and you'll be particularly in tune with your intuition. You may even have vivid dreams. Paying attention to them leads to a winning solution.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Caroline Wurtzel/Romper

You could find yourself gearing up to start your own business or pitch that ambitious project to higher-ups on Sunday when go-getter Mars in your sixth house of routine forms a positive angle to taskmaster Saturn in your second house of income. This energy lends itself to getting into a fired-up, creative flow, so planning ahead by asking loved ones to help out with the baby or getting a playdate on the calendar will make for even smoother sailing.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Caroline Wurtzel/Romper

You may feel like flirty, out-of-the-blue fun moments with your partner or a potential partner are harder to come by once Venus begins its retrograde in your fifth house of romance on Saturday. Combined with the usual stressors related to your toddler's teething or going through the sassy threenager stage, you may want to throw your hands up. Even though it's not as exciting as spontaneous sexy time, making a conscious effort (like putting a "date night in" on the calendar) still serves as a fantastic tension-reliever.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Caroline Wurtzel/Romper

Expressing your thoughts and deepest desires will come so naturally on Sunday when Mercury and the confident sun pair up in your third house of communication. Take advantage by addressing that emotional issue with your partner or writing an assertive email to land a new job. You'll be speaking right from the heart, which is bound to set you up for success.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Caroline Wurtzel/Romper

Whether you've been contemplating going back to school for a new degree or want to explore a side hustle, you could have an epiphany on Wednesday when the confident sun and dreamy Neptune pair up in your second house of income. Try stream-of-conscious journaling or spend relaxing time at the park with your 13-month-old, and the path ahead should become much clearer.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)
