Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of August 19th

Friendship and love go hand-in-hand this week. If your partner is not someone you can also call your comrade, you’ll likely experience greater dissatisfaction in your romantic relationship. You can thank Tuesday’s Full Moon in Aquarius for this because it’ll leave you feeling emotionally charged about maintaining a true kinship with your mate. Then, on Saturday, Venus will square off with Pluto, opening up a Pandora’s Box filled with lessons about power and love.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Can friends be lovers? If you’ve been toying with the idea of exploring romantic potential with a pal, this Tuesday’s Full Moon in your 11th House could make these feelings impossible to ignore. Whether or not this will work out is still uncertain, but if you have the itch, it appears you’ll scratch it. On Saturday, Venus will be at a tense angle to Pluto, now in your 10th House of Honors. You might feel as if your mate is holding you back as you try to pursue career goals. He or she may feel threatened at your success.

 
Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A light will shine on romance this week as the Sun moves into your 5th House of True Love on Thursday, followed by Mercury on Friday. Your mind will surely be on love, and your ability to communicate with your sweetheart will improve drastically until September 9. The only caveat will be on Sunday, when Neptune will cast a haze over Mercury. You might tell a white lie to your lover or be the one on the receiving end. Disappointment is likely. Remember, if you want to keep your love, then you need to keep it real.

 
Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

On Wednesday, you may encounter an unexpected shake-up in the financial status quo between you and your mate. Jupiter, now in your 2nd House of Earned Income, will square off with Uranus. Because Jupiter rules your 7th House of Partnership, a sudden rift about money is possible. This may become more of a problem on Saturday, as Venus will be at a tense angle to Pluto. There appears to be a significant disagreement about spending money on something recreational, such as a vacation or expensive hobby. Ask yourself: Is it really worth the hassle?

 
Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

On Tuesday, a Full Moon will fall in your 8th House of Joint Resources. If you’re married or in a committed relationship, there may be emotionally-charged news about your partner’s income. In some cases, a loss or change in benefits may occur, leading to anxiety. Expect greater tension by Saturday as Venus squares Pluto. You might feel caught up in a power struggle related to a domestic decision that costs a bundle. If you’re in the midst of a home renovation or move, consider cutting back on expenses to help ease the tension. Love is more important than things.

 
Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This week, a Full Moon in your 7th House of Partnership will put the focus on you and someone close. Expect an emotionally-charged turning point. If you’re fully committed, your bond is likely to deepen now in an extraordinary way. If, however, you and your mate are experiencing tension, this lunation may bring things to a head. Emotional honesty is the only option. Whether you’re single or attached, you may wrestle with sexual tension at the office on Saturday, and a co-worker might make an advance. Be prepared to handle this tactfully.

 
Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A lover’s quarrel over money is possible this week! On Saturday, Venus will rub elbows with Pluto, now in your 5th House of Romance and Pleasure. If you feel as if someone you’re dating is financially bleeding you dry, you’re likely to make your feelings known now. You may have subconsciously set the precedence for this to happen in an effort to make yourself indispensable to your love, but now you’re likely to feel taken advantage of. On Sunday, Mercury and Neptune are at odds and you might feel as if your partner has cotton in their ears.

 
Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Romance will surely be a focus this week! On Tuesday, a Full Moon will fall in your 5th House of True Love. If you’re single, you may feel a stronger ache of loneliness now, however you’ll also be emotionally open to love potential if you’re willing to socialize more. If you’re dating someone, it’s possible this lunation will bring things to a climax and you may express those tender “I love you’s” for the first time. Alternatively, you may also realize this isn’t really a love connection, after all, and that you’re better off remaining “just friends.”

 
Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might have an internal struggle this week about whether or not to reveal your feelings for a secret crush. It appears that if you do you’ll risk opening yourself up to a messy romantic situation, because this person is likely tangled in another relationship or some other personal mess. Although your frustration will be keen — especially this weekend — there’s every indication that no good will come from revealing your feelings. A better question to ask yourself is: “Why do I fall for someone who is not free to love me?” The answer may surprise you.

 
Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This week, you might feel tempted to explore new horizons in your love and sex life. On Wednesday, Jupiter, your ruling planet, will square Uranus — the planet of eccentricity — now in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure. You might find yourself suddenly attracted to someone who isn’t typically your type. Give yourself permission to explore the potential with this person and stop worrying about the things that make you so different. Sparks can fly.

 
Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you’re in a committed partnership, there’s likely to be some type of event that leads to a sudden change in your domestic arrangement. Perhaps you’ll decide to live together, if you aren’t already. Alternatively, you and your mate may decide that you’re in need of more time apart. As an example, one of you might accept a job that requires more extensive travel, but it will also allow you both more breathing room. It’s also possible that things are great between you, but someone else suddenly moves in temporarily (one of your relatives) disrupting your romantic moments.

 
Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you’r
e typically more comfortable expressing your logical, detached side, this week you might lean towards hypersensitivity — especially when it comes to love and relationships. On Tuesday, a Full Moon in Aquarius will leave you wearing your heart on your sleeve, with your emotions pouring out for the whole world to see. This might be a welcome change of pace, because when it comes to matters of the heart it’s sometimes counterproductive to think before you feel. This week, that rational filter of yours will seem to disappear.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might feel like you’re morphing into a giant ball of confusion. On Sunday, Mercury, the planet of communication, will be in your 7th House of Partnerships and will oppose Neptune, now in your sign. With this nebulous combination of mental energies at work, it will be difficult to make a sound decision about a relationship matter. You may also find it difficult to understand something your partner is trying to express — or even worse, you could come across as evasive about a situation without meaning to. Save important dialogue for early in the week or wait until next week.
