Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of August 26

The week begins with a jolt when it comes to romantic matters, thanks to an erratic opposition between Venus and Uranus on Monday. If you’re in a relationship, this may reflect a sudden need to loosen any chokehold you feel your partnership restrains you with. Whether single or taken, there might also be a sudden new love interest. Then, on Tuesday Mars — the planet that rules our libido — will enter flamboyant and amorous Leo, where it remains until October 15. Love and sex are about to get loud and theatrical!
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Expect no shortage of drama in your love life. On Monday, Venus — now in your 7th House of Partnerships — will oppose Uranus in Aries. There may be a see-saw feeling when it comes to your role in a relationship. On one hand you want to be partnered up, but on the other hand you refuse to do so at the expense of your individuality. On Tuesday, Mars will enter your 5th House of Love and Sex. For the next several weeks you can certainly anticipate more fun in bed.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your mental focus this week will decidedly revolve around matters of the heart. Mercury, the planet of communication, will continue to move through your 5th House of True Love. On Monday, Mercury will link up to Saturn, and you might have a serious conversation with your sweetheart about your commitment to each other. On Friday, you’ll likely make a positive decision together — possibly about a much-needed getaway. Your trip will likely be local and short (a long weekend perhaps), but it will surely be memorable.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Sudden interference from a friend regarding your love life might unnerve you this week. On Monday, Venus will oppose Uranus, now in your 11th House of Groups and Friends. You might receive an unexpected opinion about someone you’re dating. Even worse, your pal might give you a vibe that he or she is attracted to your sweetheart! Be careful on Tuesday not to overspend on your love. With Venus square Jupiter, now in your 2nd House of Earned Income, it’s possible you’ll purchase an extra indulgent gift. Don’t break the bank!

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Saturn continues to move through your 5th House of True Love, and if you’re single it may be difficult to get exactly what/whom you want in love. You might have found the perfect soul mate, but due to circumstances beyond your control, you find it’s difficult to be together — at least for now. Or, you might be in a relationship and you’re not feeling as if you and your love are having much fun anymore. Responsibility may weigh you down. Tuesday is a good day to discuss how you feel with your lover. The dialogue will help.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You and your partner might have an unexpected difference of opinion this week — one that proves to be more than just a slight disagreement. You’ll want to remain open to your partner’s viewpoint, but there is likely to be something that rubs you the wrong way on Monday. Do your best to remain gracious even if you blurt out something less than tactful on this day. On Tuesday, Mars will enter Leo — a once in every two-year event! Your stamina will be incredible until October 15 and you’ll passionately pursue anything — or anyone — you want!

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The week is likely to start out in a relationship haze, thanks to Monday’s opposition between the Sun and Neptune. You’re in a phase now where the potential to hold your mate on a pedestal is extremely likely. While it’s wonderful to practice unconditional love, at the same time you might ignore a potentially large blemish in your relationship. Remember to take off the rose-colored glasses long enough to see any flaws in your union. Then, you’ll be equipped to make a decision about whether or not your partner still deserves that podium.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

An existing relationship is likely going through extensive change now. The parameters of your union will be revolutionized as you both challenge the traditional status quo of what a relationship “should be.” That definition simply does not work for you and your mate any longer and you’ll need to find your own way. The question is: Can you do this together? While you might begin to think that the grass is greener on the other side, consider what might happen if you take more time to water your own grass first.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re typically the one who can see right through anyone and uncover their true motivations. These days, however, nothing could be further from the truth — at least when it comes to a love interest. Neptune, the planet of unconditional love — but also confusion and potential disillusion — is moving through your 5th House of True Love. While this transit might bring your soul mate, at the same time you might go through at least one major disappointment in love. You’re so caught up in getting lost in a blissful union that you may choose to ignore a romantic entanglement.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you’re single, or even if you’re in a relationship, a love opportunity may arrive in the most unexpected ways these days. This potential is due to the influence of Uranus in your 5th House of Romance. On Monday, Venus will oppose Uranus, stimulating this energy in an extraordinary way. You might suddenly meet someone who gives you an uncontrollable physical reaction. This might even be a case of “love at first sight.” In addition, someone you thought was only a friend might surprise you with a declaration of love. Wow!

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your erotic side is about to be stimulated! On Tuesday, Mars — the planet that rules our sex drive — will enter the most erogenous zone of your chart — the 8th House of Intimacy. You’ll have an opportunity to explore your deepest physical desires with your partner, which will last until October 15. You might even reach a new level of closeness as you find more courage to truly reveal yourself. Baring your body is one thing, but baring your soul is another altogether. Now, you’ll have the gumption to do both.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

On Tuesday, Mars will enter your 7th House of Partnerships, where it will remain until October 15. Over the next several weeks there might be a few loud and dramatic squabbles between you and your mate. Still, whatever conflict may occur you’ll feel motivated to resolve it. Just be aware of how fragile your partner’s ego is now, and how the smallest bruise to it may result in a major fallout. You might have little patience for this, but the truth is if you embarrass your mate in public, expect to pay hefty price for it in private.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might feel more intellectually connected to your partner this week. On Friday, Mercury will be at a friendly angle to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of Romance. An extra special conversation between you and your mate will put you in a positive frame of mind. You might also decide to pursue a new academic or spiritual interest together. If single, this will be a great night for a first date with someone new. The Moon will also enter your 5th house on Friday evening, adding to the emotional romantic potential.
