Your Monthly Romantic Astrological Outlook
Aries (March 21–April 19)
It’s time to get saucy, Aries! This month Venus is in your relationships house nearly the entire four weeks. That means unique new dates that stretch both your imagination and your idea of romance to new heights. Don’t be afraid to get a little extra flirty with your chosen one this month; the stars are ensuring it will end well.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
This month, Taurus, think about mending family relationships. Not that your romantic life isn’t important, it’s just that your family is amping up some drama that you need to deal with. If you’re in a committed relationship, be open and honest about why you may be a little distant. And listen to your partner’s advice! If you’re single, take your mind off dating while you sort out everything at home.
Gemini (May 21–June 20)
Gemini, near the end of last month, you should have been having serious talks about deepening relationships. This month is why. Venus heads into Libra on Aug. 6, meaning big moves—like proposals and marriage—are in your future. For you single Geminis, expect a new relationship to pop up when you’re not expecting it.
Cancer (June 21–July 22)
Cancer, August is an emotional journey for you. You may want to nurture your deep relationships, but remember that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Be sure to focus on self-care as well as partner care. Take your dates out into nature with a long walk and deep chat in a forest preserve or a quiet day at a secluded beach. You need that opportunity for thoughtful conversation.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
It’s Leo season—it’s your time to shine! Let yourself be the center of attention in your relationships this month. As long as you’re not bringing that fiery Leo stubbornness into the picture, your love life will grow deeper and more expansive. Consider this month an emotional exploration into how your partnership can best serve your mental health.
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
Virgo, the new moon solar eclipse on Aug. 12 is going to help you release an old grudge against a previous relationship. But do not—I repeat, do not—contact that old flame. You are in a better place now so spend that energy on the person you love by planning a fun date. If you’re not coupled up, watch your ego; it could spell the death of a budding relationship.
Libra (September 23–October 22)
An old flame might saunter back into your world this August, Libra. Typically, you’d want to shy away from those, but your justice-minded brain encourages you to at least have a chat with them. Be honest with your partner if you’re dating someone and calm their fears that you’ll go back to the past. You can only move forward.
Scorpio (October 23–November 21)
When Mars enters Cancer on Aug. 11, you might be feeling a bit more of an argumentative edge, Scorpio. Remember that every story has two sides, and give your partner the grace they deserve. The full moon lunar eclipse at the end of the month has a transformative effect on you; don’t be afraid to lean into that in your sex life.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
Sag, it’s time to travel! This month is perfect for a far-flung romantic getaway. Head to that “White Lotus” resort you’ve been dreaming of, or book a lengthy cruise to somewhere like Antarctica. You want to lean into the shared sense of adventure in your relationships.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
Stick close to home this month, Capricorn. Both you and your relationships need to set your focus on grounding and building out a solid base. The confidence you’ve felt in the past is a little wobbly right now, but don’t worry. Everything will be fine if you lift each other up.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
Communication is major for you this month, Aquarius. If you’re in a relationship, do everything you can to understand where your partner is coming from—and that means fully, not just in a way that supports you. For the singles out there, be overly communicative and honest to build a strong foundation before anything else.
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
Pisces, focus on vulnerability in all its forms this month but perhaps especially around finances. You and your partner may run into some monetary challenges, but it’s nothing you can’t overcome with good communication. In the second half of the month, embrace creative dates as a love language of their own.
