Don’t be too quick to dismiss a new connection, Aries. You sometimes feel as if the length of time you’ve been with or known someone determines their place or value in your life. However, you could meet someone today who can love you better than those you’ve known for years.
Be open to who comes into your life on Tuesday. Remember, it all comes down to how someone treats you, regardless of whether or not they are a part of your past.
Taurus

Be willing to challenge the status quo, Taurus. With Chiron moving through your zodiac sign on August 18, you’re entering an interesting era in your personal life.
This energy makes it impossible to talk yourself into receiving anything that doesn’t actually match your worth. Because of that, you’re also in a phase of extreme transformation. Allow yourself to be where you are, even if it feels uncertain. That’s how you learn who is truly meant for you.
Gemini

Give yourself over to the universe on Tuesday and spend time affirming your own worth. You're not only finding your fate, but also accepting that you've always deserved it.

You deserve to be met more than halfway, Cancer. It’s up to you to set the bar for what you hope to receive from a romantic partner.
For far too long you’ve been OK with accepting the bare minimum. You aren’t meant to be the sole giver in a relationship, and you actually deserve a true partnership. But you are the only one who can change your standards. While understanding is a part of love, that doesn’t mean you should give someone a free pass while your needs go unmet.
Leo

Try to affirm that you deserve ease, connection, abundance, and success. Believe that not only can your romantic life bring you bliss, but you can find success in every other area as well.
Virgo

Step out of your comfortable routines, Virgo. You are a creature of habit, but that doesn’t mean that you’re not capable of more. Instead of letting yourself remain stuck where you are, take action toward what you want.
As the North Node and Chiron align on August 18, you are in a phase of transforming your life and embracing new beginnings that lead to a profound romance. But you can’t do that if you’re still trying to stay in your comfort zone.
Libra

On Tuesday, reflect on your romantic life and who you’ve allowed in. Consider the milestones you have prioritized because this is a time for change.
Scorpio
