This month, Mercury finally turns direct on August 11, so if your relationship has seemed confusing or something has been delayed, it can all begin to straighten out now. Venus has entered Cancer, where it will remain until August 25. This will bring deeper emotions to the surface and cause us all to think more about our emotional ties and commitments and those we love. We will all be a bit more emotional with Venus in this sign, and we may feel deeper empathy and compassion for those around us and the world in general. As Cancer is such a sensitive sign, we may have to be careful about taking slights to heart, and they may be harder to let go of, as Cancer has a long and clear memory. While Venus squares Saturn and Neptune on August 1, which is somewhat negative, it will connect with Jupiter on August 11, representing a beautiful day that doesn’t occur often! The Full Moon in Aquarius falls on August 9, a great time to get together with others.
Mars enters Libra on August 6 and will remain here until September 22. Many will be focused more on partnerships at this time, and most will seek to find more harmony and balance in their relationships. From August 6 - 12, Mars in Libra opposes Saturn and Neptune, making this a very confusing several days prone to arguments and disagreements. This will be the most difficult time of the month, so be aware of the energy and don’t let it control your reactions and actions toward others if you want to prevent a misunderstanding. On August 26, Venus enters Leo and will remain in this sign until September 19. Leo rules the fifth house of love, friends, and entertainment, and this is always a pleasant and socially oriented time of the year, even if you aren’t normally that social. This year, Venus-Leo comes just in time to have a great end to the summer! On the 22nd, the Sun enters Virgo, prompting us to take a little more practical approach to love than when it was in Leo. Finally, the New Moon in Virgo squares Uranus on August 23, creating an unpredictable energy that can shake things up or turn them in an unexpected direction. Let’s take a look at how the zodiac signs fare in love this month.

Aries

Aries, Mercury turns direct on the 11th, so any romantic questions, delays, and communication issues will start to move forward. Your feelings will become much clearer and in focus. Mercury will remain in your fifth house of love through September 2, inspiring you to find what you are looking for in a partner and through friendships.
Venus’s transit through Cancer may put you more in touch with your feelings or even those of others, but this isn’t really your cup of tea as Cancer can seem too emotional. You may, however, entertain more at home during this time and enjoy it.
When Venus enters Leo on August 26, however, everything changes as the planet of love dances through your fifth house of romance, making this an ideal period for love.
Mars will transit through your seventh house of partners this month, placing more of a focus here if you have a partner. But be aware — from August 6 - 12, the Mars-Saturn-Neptune opposition can cause arguments and problems in your relationship. If this occurs, Venus’s transit through your fifth house should helps straighten things out.
Taurus

Taurus, Venus’s transit through Cancer falls in your third house of communication. It joins Jupiter, making this a month to communicate with others and reach out, or vice versa. Venus and Jupiter’s meet-up on the 11th looks like you could have an important conversation that turns out quite positive.
With Venus’s transit through your third house, if you're single, you could meet someone who lives very close to you or even a co-worker. A family member could also introduce you to someone.
Communication and your feelings about love will straighten out after the 11th as Mercury turns direct. You will feel once again you are on your game.
The Aquarius Full Moon on the 9th falls in your house of friends, hopes, and wishes, so this should be a very social time for you (and a good night to get out if you are single!).
When Venus enters Leo on August 26, you will feel more like enjoying yourself and may do more entertaining at home.
The New Moon on the 23rd, however, is the moon to watch for this month since it falls in your fifth house of love. With its square to Uranus, just about anything could happen — but it does look exciting and like you are on track for something different.
Gemini

Gemini, financial stability and success always help when it comes to attracting others, and this is something you will have this month — not to mention it should also boost your self-esteem.
While Venus in Cancer may not be the very best placement for you, it is still quite good. You will experience more depth in your emotions than you typically do.
Mars transits Libra from August 6 until September 22, which increases your chances of finding love if single, or spending more time together if you have a partner. Be aware, however, that August 6 -12 are more challenging days that can have major consequences if you don’t handle the energy properly. You may feel stressed or even angry, or someone could come across like this to you. Be careful how you communicate and react, especially in terms of love relationships.
When Venus enters Leo on the 26th, it transits your third house of communication, which will become more important and help you clarify your feelings — not to mention it is a good sign for you!

Cancer, if you have been reading these horoscopes, you know I have been telling you that your time will come — and it’s here!
This month should be really good for you in terms of love with both Jupiter and Venus transiting through your sign. August 11 in particular holds the potential to be a day to remember, so if you have someone you want to spend time with, then this is the time (or the day before, which is a Sunday).
When Venus transits your sign, you typically look and feel your best and tend to draw others to you. All things in general go better and go more your way.
Communication and finances will get much better after the 11th when Mercury turns direct. Since it’s in the sign of Leo, this will have you thinking much more about love and relationships.
The Aquarius Full Moon on the 9th falls in your eighth house. This is the house that rules intimacy and the way you feel in a relationship, so it is possible you could take a relationship to a higher level at this time.
The Virgo New Moon is in a compatible sign for you and falls in your house of communication, which may be more important at this time. This is an unpredictable New Moon, however, so just about anything can happen. But with Jupiter and Venus in your sign, I can’t imagine this is anything that is going to seriously interfere with your love life and general happiness this month.
Leo

Mars enters Libra or your 12th house on the 6th and will remain here until September 22. Mars in this placement can stir up your subconscious mind and any baggage that lies there, especially concerning relationships.

Let your doubts, suspicions, and mistrust go, as they won’t serve you.

Aquarius, you are a rational air sign, so planets in Cancer may not suit you best. But every sign serves a purpose, and the purpose of Cancer is to get in touch with your feelings and those of anyone you may be interested in or partnered with. It’s time to open up a little more and be a little softer and more nurturing toward your partner— and you will feel this in return this month.
Communication may have been a problem over the past three weeks, or something may have changed in a relationship. But as Mercury turns direct on the 11th, things will begin to make sense and become clearer.

Pisces, if you have been reading these forecasts, you know that now is your time in terms of love or finding love. With both Jupiter and Venus transiting your fifth house of love this month, this is about as good as it gets!
Jupiter and Venus both expand things, and August 11 stands out as an exceptional day. At some point, Venus will trine your Sun, which should be significant. If you were born near the middle of the sign, both Jupiter and Venus will trine your Sun, and it’s hard to believe something special won’t occur. This transit will occur one more time before Jupiter leaves Cancer: June 9, 2026. You will have one more chance then, but make the most of the date this month!
Communication will pick up and improve after the 11th when Mercury turns direct. If you have been experiencing confusion or finding people hard to connect with for various reasons, this should shift.

The New Moon on the 23rd falls in your seventh house of partners, so the focus will be here. If you haven’t met anyone significant, it could happen unexpectedly around this New Moon if you put yourself in a position to meet others.
