Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of Sept. 23rd

Romantic matters may run from hot to cold this week, thanks to two very different cycles at play. First, Venus will be at a gorgeous trine to Jupiter on Thursday, allowing love to flow in the most open, sensitive way. Flattery and lavish gifts might be par for the course! If you’re planning to wine and dine anyone, Thursday will certainly be the day to do it! By the weekend, however, love becomes rocky as Venus and Mars lock horns in a testy square. Pride and power struggles take over and sweet sentiments might be lost amidst a clash of egos. Pick your battles and remember: Every rose has its thorn.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might work so hard talking up your lover to relatives this week that you fail to take an honest look at any holes in your relationship. On Thursday, you’ll certainly see the best in your mate. You might even talk about sharing household expenses or purchasing a home together down the road if you don’t already live together. On Saturday, however, all of your idealism may go out the window when you’re likely to become frustrated with the way in which your lover handles finances. There could be a stalemate.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

With Venus in your 7th House of Intimate Partnerships until October 7, you have a special focus on love that will attract greater harmony and personal happiness. You’ll notice this trend on Thursday, when Venus will embrace Jupiter, the planet of abundance, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Expressing your love and devotion to someone close has never been easier. Remember your heartfelt words, however, because by Saturday you might experience a test. Venus will rub elbows with Mars in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. A domestic squabble may put a damper on romance.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This week you may find it easy to wear your heart on your sleeve. The Moon will be in Gemini and your 1st House of Identity on Tuesday and Wednesday. This cosmic lineup will allow you to express emotions easily — which may bring a welcome change of pace to your usual style of logic first. On Thursday, Venus will be at a brilliant trine to Jupiter, helping to weave a magnetic spell between you and someone at the office. Will you succumb? Or will you try to ignore those butterflies in your stomach?

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Romance seems to flow effortlessly for you these days. With Venus in your 5th House of True Love until October 7, you certainly have an edge when it comes to attracting someone your way. On Thursday, you may feel as if you’ve won the cosmic jackpot of love. Venus will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, now in your sign. Delicious, sentimental, emotionally available amour will be yours for the taking. Whipped cream optional. On Saturday, however, a wrinkle in your romantic bliss might come up if you lose sight of a financial obligation in order to spend big and impress your lover. Think twice.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

With Venus in your 4th House of Home and Family Life, you’re more interested in making sure your lover fits in with your security needs these days. This might mean nesting at home together quietly, or it might have more to do with testing the waters to ensure that your sweetheart fits in with your clan. If he or she does, you’ll be golden; but if there’s any conflict, you might feel stuck in the middle. Ask yourself: Who defines your true state of security? Regardless of your relationship status, that power should belong to no one else but you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Whether you’re single or attached, your social life may be the key to romantic happiness this week. On Thursday, Venus, in your 3rd House of Communication, will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, in your 11th House of Social Networking. You might enjoy a group activity, party or other event with your lover. You may also join a few friends at a social gathering and meet someone who stimulates your mind and heart! On Saturday, remain cautious with the words you choose. An acerbic remark to someone close might sting far more than intended.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your self-worth is tied to partnership under ordinary circumstances, but this week you may feel as if this is especially true. On Saturday, Venus, now in your 2nd House of Possessions, will be at a tense square to Mars, the ruler of your partnership sector. You might feel as if your partner doesn’t value you as much as they should, and if so this might lead to an angry confrontation. Alternatively, you may try to sweep your feelings under the rug in an attempt to avoid conflict. That approach will only backfire.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

With Venus still moving through your 1st House of Self until October 7, you’ll continue to enjoy a certain kind of sex appeal. On Thursday, you may find that you attract someone your way who is from a background quite unlike your own. This may be cultural, religious or educational. Regardless, you’ll feel enamored because of the differences. On Saturday, as Venus squares off with Mars, you might feel frustrated over having to choose between having fun versus taking care of a professional obligation. Do the right thing.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This will be an ideal week to carve out time for yourself in order to consider a decision in your personal life. On Thursday, Venus, now in your 12th House of Privacy, will be at a perfect angle to Jupiter, your ruler. You’ll find a way to untangle romantic knots before you get caught up in them. Will you take your own advice? The test will be on Saturday, as Venus and Mars square off. Don’t be your own worst enemy when it comes to love. If things get sticky, hold on to your moral high ground.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The week may start out looking bright when it comes to blending your social and romantic life. However, you’ll want to remain cautious by the weekend. On Thursday, Venus and Jupiter will be at a friendly angle, allowing your partner to be generous and gracious in the company of your pals. On Saturday, though, there will be a swift change as Venus squares off with Mars in your 8th House of Shared Resources. A friend might overstep his or her boundaries and meddle in your finances. Your partner will not be pleased.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This week — especially on Tuesday and Wednesday — your emotional focus will certainly be on romance. That’s because the Moon will be in your 5th House of True Love, encouraging you to seek pleasure and joy with someone special. But things may get dicey on Saturday if you’re in a relationship. You’ll want to impress the boss with your work on a project, so you might decide to bring work home for the weekend. Instead of receiving support from your mate, however, you’re more likely to get an attitude.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

On Thursday, you and your lover may decide to book that exotic vacation you’ve been talking about taking together. There will be plenty of romantic energy and wanderlust in the air for you, thanks to the Moon moving through your 5th House from Thursday afternoon through Saturday. In addition, Venus — now in your 9th House of Long Distance Travel — will be at a magnificent trine to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of True Love. Don’t allow a hiccup with your work schedule dampen your mood on Saturday. Make plans — and stick with them!
