Rain on Friday, rain on Saturday, showers on Sunday. The sky's basically begging you to stay under a roof. Here's where to take that advice, by sign, type and group.
The sky
Sun in Libra keeps things sociable, but the Moon waning in Cancer through the weekend wants smaller rooms and softer plans, not the big loud thing. Then Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, right as Mercury settles into the same sign. Old feelings resurface, texts get sent, tablaos and basements suit the mood better than open air.
Find yours, and your group's.
