Each Zodiac Sign's Weekly Love Horoscope For August 8 – August 14, 2022
Peace is your relationship is not just something you choose, but a feeling you must create.
Your weekly love horoscope for August 8 – 14, 2022 for each zodiac sign brings an intense collection of astrological events that will have you understanding what has reached an end in your life and what is now on the horizon to begin.
It may not look like a very active week; however, the events that occur are those which have not just lasting effects on your romantic life, but which hold enough power to change the energetic landscape of the entire week.
The week begins with the Lion’s Gate portal peaking on Monday, August 8th.
The Lion’s Gate occurs when the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius the star and Earth bringing in a new fresh wave of energy that helps you align to your highest self.
In relationships, this becomes important because it means that you are making choices that align with the life that you want to lead now and, in the future, instead of continuing with past patterns.
When you know better, you are then prepared to do better which is what the overall theme of this portal holds.
Once you have realized and accepted your own wounds and the reasons for making the choices that you have in your relationships, then you are prepared to start making different decisions.
The Lion’s Gate portal infuses your life with passion, hope, and the sense that anything is possible if only you take the first step at creating it.
This ties in with the energy on August 11th, an interesting numerological date as well since eleven is one of two master numbers, the other being twenty-two that doesn’t reduce to a single number and instead stay just as it is. Master numbers in astrology are known as builder days and important events will often occur on these dates which help you truly feel like you are building that life that you have been dreaming of.
Change is easier to come by on these numerological dates as well as feeling like you can take more risks in order to achieve it.
This sets you up to take full advantage of Venus shifting into Leo and the Super Full Moon in Aquarius which both occur on this date.
Venus in Leo brings bold energy into your romantic life, encouraging you to speak the truth of your feelings and not hold back out of fear or even uncertainty.
Everything becomes either a complete yes under this energy or a resounding no.
It is important to listen to your feelings as they arise under this new Venus energy because it has the capability to bring you to a new level within your romantic relationship.
The Super Full Moon in Aquarius however is bringing up the issue of peace that you feel within your romantic life.
Both Saturn, the planet that rules karmic lessons and divine timing, and Uranus, the ruler of unexpected change and freedom, will be at play during this lunation causing just enough friction for you to be in the place to feel driven to start transforming this area of your life.
Together these astrological events are not just trying to help you follow your heart or to move past obstacles that have been in the way of you doing just that but to understand the importance of cultivating a sense of peace within your romantic relationship.
Often this sense of peace is one that is disrupted by chaos and drama becoming the norm.
Whether it is because of resisting important changes, unhealthy relationship qualities, or even your own wounds that you are bringing into it, peace can be something that is dismissed or even forgotten about.
Under this week’s energy; however, there is a return to realizing that love and romance do not have to be chaotic.
It does not have to monopolize your entire thought process or even cause anxiety.
It should be your refuge away from the world and while never perfect, should add to the sense of peace and stability you feel within yourself, never detracting from it.
But it also raises the awareness that peace, often like commitment in love, is not just something that happens, but something that is created choice by choice helping you realize that if it is not present in your current romantic life, then it is time to start making different decisions.
Here are a few dates to mark in your calendar for this week's love horoscope.
Monday, August 8th
The Lion’s Gate Portal peaks today which bring in an intense energetic wave. The Lion’s Gate Portal is created when the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius, the star, and Earth, in one direct line that peaks on August 8th of each year.
Together this energy helps you align to your highest self and to start making choices from your healing versus your wounding.
For relationships, this portal always has the capability to create the feeling of jumping timelines which means that you can make drastic changes within your life in a short period of time. Leo is all about following your heart, and Sirius brings in adoration and passion.
It is time that you started to live the life you truly desire and release anything that feels merely like an obligation or responsibility, which also means the same is true for your romantic life.
Thursday, August 11th
Today holds a double dose of astrological love energy as Venus moves into Leo and the Super Full Moon in Aquarius. Venus is the planet of love which means that as it shifts into Leo today it will affect how you approach relationships and even love itself.
Leo is bold, proud, and generous. Big declarations of love occur under Venus in Leo. This brings an energy of intensity to any connections as it becomes more about following your heart at any cost rather than playing it safe.
Venus in Leo holds the potential for proposals as well as romantic surprises. Venus in Leo brings your big feelings out to play as under this energy there are no lukewarm emotions, everything is either red hot or not at all. While the truth of your feelings in relationships can sometimes cause confusion, under this energy you will gain clarity because how you genuinely feel about someone will become clear.
Venus in Leo does not hold back and it is important during this astrological chapter, you don’t either.
Occurring on this same day the Super Full Moon rises in Aquarius. This is the third and final Super Moon of the year which means that it may hold some conclusions to issues that have been at play since June. Super Moon s are brighter, bigger, and closer to earth magnifying the energy of the Moon.
Romantically this will culminate with events and themes that began around the June 14th, 2022, Super Full Moon in Sagittarius. Now, three Moons later, a decision is ready to be reached which will unlock the next level of your own life.
With the Moon in Aquarius, it brings together the power of healing and independence allowing you to make sure that you are following your own path and desires rather than simply doing what you are supposed to. It holds the possibility to help you align with that Venus in Leo energy and follow your heart, no matter where it may lead.
