The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart. Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second. Also, sometimes I have more to say for some signs, simply because more astrological activity is taking place that is related to relationships for that sign this month (or because I am digressing!). This does not mean I am biased towards any particular sign.

September 2010 ErosScopes – Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

Libra

Personal magnetism continues to run high at the beginning of September, dear Libra, with Venus in your sign until the 8th, and Mars and Eros in your sign until mid-month. Use this period to your advantage by getting yourself “out there”. Others are noticing you, appreciating your personal style and manner, and generally taking special interest in your life. A partner is likely to have your needs and wants as a priority. The 4-5th and 9-11th are especially strong days for your powers of attraction as well as for relationship matters. Love settles down just a tad as the month progresses. Comfort, security, and sensuality become stronger themes in your love life. Nevertheless, Venus and Mars continue to move along in close proximity to one another through to the first week of October, and whenever these planets do, your love life is stimulating and dynamic. Another clear indication that romance is exciting this month is Jupiter’s alignment with the ruler of your romance sector, Uranus, from the 14-20th. You are attracted to people who expand your outlook on life, and you have much to learn from romantic interests. The 22nd brings the Sun into your sign, and you are likely to feel more personally powerful and effective. Stronger days for love, romance, and attraction are more likely on September 4-5, 9-11, 15th, and 21st, while the 7th and 13th can bring minor disappointments or conflicts.

Scorpio

While the beginning of September may involve some level of soul-searching in the love department, dear Scorpio, as the month progresses, you are ready to accept and pursue love more directly. First, Venus moves into your sign on the 8th, boosting your general appeal and powers of attraction. This gives you more confidence about your own ability to attract who and what you want into your life. It can also indicate that a partner has your best interests at heart. Venus will stay in your sign for an unusually long time this year — from September 8th to November 7th, and then from November 29th to January 7th. Mid-month, both assertive Mars and erotic Eros move into your sign, where they will stay until October 28th. With Venus in your sign as well at this time, personal magnetism skyrockets. You are willing to take the lead and others are generally letting you do so. The impression you are making on others is intense, but mostly pleasant and appealing. Another change taking place mid-September is your ruler, Pluto, turning direct, and this is further indication that you are gaining more personal confidence. It’s an exceptional period for personal charm, romance, and sexuality. Opportunities for sexual fulfillment abound, and your attractions are likely to form quickly. The alignment of Jupiter and Uranus on the 14-20 occurs in your romance and creativity sector, and unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are willing to take chances on romantic and creative levels. Better days for love and attraction are likely on the 4-5, 9th, 11-12, and 18th.

Sagittarius

Friendly, light energy continues to feature in your love life at the beginning of the month, dear Sagittarius. Confusing signals from a partner are likely to lift from the 12th forward, when one-to-one communication becomes more fruitful, direct, and honest. By mid-month, love energy becomes more private and personal. Venus enters your privacy sector on the 8th and will spend an unusually long time there — from September 8th to to November 7th, and then November 29th to January 7th. Part of that time Venus will be retrograde. This energy can play out in a variety of ways. For some, keeping quiet about your love feelings is necessary or more desirable. Secret or private relationships could figure strongly. Others could find that love requires a few personal sacrifices. Perhaps a lover is leaning on you for support now. Some could be focused on the past and not yet ready to move forward or to pursue something new. Unusual yearnings, soul-searching, or the desire for a more spiritual approach to love can also be strong during this cycle. Your ruler, Jupiter, aligns with Uranus once again this month, bringing intensity and the need for change into your life. The need to free yourself from restricting or limiting attitudes is strong. These changes can take place on an internal level. The Full Moon on the 23rd can illuminate a romantic or social matter that was previously hidden or confusing. Stronger days for love, romance, and attraction are likely on the 15th, 18th, and 21st; while relationships require more care on the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 13th, and 30th.

Capricorn

A feeling of moving forward is with you this month, dear Capricorn. While professional matters continue to take up much of your time, from the 8th forward, love relationships become friendlier and lighter than they have been. The need to bring a spirit of friendship and perhaps some unconventionality to your romantic life is strong now, and even stronger by mid-month. With Pluto in your sign changing directions on the 13th, from retrograde to direct, you will begin to feel more personally powerful and in charge of your life. Romantic opportunities are more likely to present themselves in group settings and with or through friends, especially around the 12th and 18th. Networking is especially fruitful this month. You are being recognized as creative and competent and this adds to your personal appeal. You are also communicating with special appeal, and your forward-looking, cooperative attitude is sure to be appreciated. Your willingness to rise above petty considerations opens yourself to more loving feelings. Be sure to surround yourself with people and to attend social events this month. Attraction to unusual or non-traditional relationships could figure strongly in September, and others are attracted to the more unconventional aspects of your personality. Strong focus is on relating as equals or friends in your love life. Better days for love and attraction are likely to be the 5th, 11-12, 19th, and 30th.

Aquarius

An energetic month is in store for you, dear Aquarius. You begin the month with the need for adventure and discovery in your love relationships still especially strong. As the month progresses, more energy is poured into creative and professional pursuits. Others are likely to find you especially interesting and magnetic. Some of you could make romantic connections through business and professional pursuits this month. You are certainly getting noticed. You are more able to take the lead and/or push your ideas now. Others are likely to consider you competent and capable. Jupiter’s alignment with your ruler, Uranus, from the 14-20th brings feel-good energy and hopefulness that is contagious. You are likely making new friendships or group connections at this time. A partner might be feeling uneasy around the 21st, however, about personal changes you may be making if these seem to be too sudden. Financial matters could be a sensitive topic around this time as well. From the 12th forward, your romance sector ruler, Mercury, is moving in direct motion after a period of retrograde motion, and you are likely to see romantic relationships more clearly — you know where you stand. Communications about more personal and intimate matters are more likely to be fruitful after the 12th. September 15th is a strong day for love and romance, while the 7th and 21st may bring minor complications.

Pisces

September brings good energy for improving your love life, dear Pisces. You begin the month in an especially emotional frame of mind when it comes to love. From the 8th, a more outgoing cycle begins. From the 14th, both Venus and Mars are moving in harmony with your sign, and this means your powers of attraction run strong. Others are likely appreciating your style, perspective on life, and opinions. You are in great need of adventure and excitement in your love life, and The New Moon on the 8th begins a month-long cycle in which you have strong energy for making a new start in how you approach close relationships and partnerships. From the 12th forward, mixed signals that you may have been experiencing from a significant other subside, and matters become clearer. You know where you stand, and this is refreshing. The 14-20th brings electric energy to your life. This is about an attitude change — an overwhelming desire to leave the past behind, to take more risks, and to expand and explore. Outworn and limiting attitudes reveal themselves, and it’s time to start fresh. Others are bound to notice your increased confidence, and if this makes anyone uneasy, reassure them that it’s necessary. Talking things through reasonably comes very easily from mid-month forward, when you’ll likely be clearing up misunderstandings from the past few weeks. Your powers of attraction at this time lie mostly in your ability to move on and forward, forgiving and starting anew. Stronger days for love in September are likely on the 4th and 15th, while the 3rd, 8th, and 30th require a little more care.

See the September 2010 ErosScopes for the other six signs (Aries to Virgo) here.

Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important “trappings” and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. The Moon shows our underlying emotional needs that can express themselves as sexual fantasies and needs.

While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.

Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.

Also, sometimes I have more to say for some signs, simply because more astrological activity is taking place that is related to relationships for that sign this month (or because I am digressing!). This does not mean I am biased towards any particular sign.

September 2010 ErosScopes – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo

Aries

Love can be a little on the complicated side this month, dear Aries, and certainly not boring. The energy in a close partnership continues to run high, and for those of you who are single, you are learning a whole lot about what it is you want from relationships — and these desires and needs are shifting and evolving. Venus will be spending an unusually long time in your solar eighth house from the 8th of September until November 7th, and then November 29th to January 7th. During this period, you will get the opportunity to improve the intimacy in your relationships, and your attitude towards sharing. You might crave a deeper connection during this period, and you’re more likely to receive the emotional support and backing you need. There will be a few lessons along the way, particularly when Venus moves in retrograde motion from October 8th to November 18th, when your perspective on these matters changes. Mars and Eros move into your intimacy sector as well mid-month, promising much on a deep, erotic, and highly personal level. Aries is not the most strategic of signs, preferring to act now and think later, so that when Mars enters your solar eighth house and you are more deliberate and contemplative, you can really benefit from using some strategy. The 16th to 20th brings powerful insights into the past and how you might bring this new awareness into the future. The Full Moon on the 23rd is in your own sign, bringing a personal revelation to light or some other emotionally-charged matter. Stronger days for love are more likely on September 5th, 11-12th, and 18th. The 5th and 11th are especially strong for repairing and healing close relationships. September 3rd and 20th require a little more care.

Taurus

Until the 22nd, with the Sun illuminating your romance, creativity, and fun sector, dear Taurus, it’s likely to be a feel-good time for love matters. As well, there’s a New Moon occurring on September 8th in your romance sector, bringing a fresh start to this area of your life, just as the goddess of love, Venus, enters your partnership sector. This is, of course, good news for love relationships, but the real green light comes after the 12th. Before the 12th, you might find that a lover is very focused (or even harping) on the past. Single Tauruses might be receiving unclear messages from love interests, or rethinking a past relationship. After the 12th, all Tauruses will have a clearer idea about where they stand. Mid-month, Mars and Eros join Venus in your partnership sector, really heating things up. While this can bring some level of strife to your relationships, Venus’ presence in the same sector can help soften and smooth matters. Conflicts experienced now fairly demand resolution. It’s important that you don’t fall back on the tendency to avoid problems, or to write off any anger by assigning it to a partner. Mars will continue to move through your partnership sector until October 28th, and Venus, your ruler, will spend an unusually long time in this same sector (from September 8th to November 7th, and then November 29th to January 7th). As such, negotiations, better relating patterns, and one-on-one time will be in focus this month and beyond. Better days for love in September are likely on the 4-5th, 11-12th and 18th. The 3rd might be trickier.

Gemini

The first half of September finds you at your most playful and magnetic, dear Gemini. Venus continues to grace your romance and creative sector until the 8th, boosting your natural powers of attraction, and both Mars and Eros heat up the same sector until mid-month. During this period, the desire to have fun through your relationships is stimulated. The 4-5th are especially strong days for personal magnetism. After these dates, your solar sixth house, generally associated with work and health, is highlighted. Your focus turns to the parts that make up the whole, and becomes a little more practical and serious. Nevertheless, the Sun moves into your “party” sector on the 22nd, so it’s definitely not going to be all work and no play. Until the 12th, Mercury, your ruler, is still retrograde, and while the general mood is exciting, you might also be feeling some hesitancy about making decisions. You are not likely to be making any commitments. After the 12th, decision making becomes more straightforward. From the 14th-20th, your partnership ruler, Jupiter, aligns with electric Uranus in your career sector. This can point to sudden or surprising events revolving around partnership for some, and it might mean a “chance” meeting for single Geminis, possibly in the professional realm. Revelations and eye-opening experiences through a significant other can occur during this period. Better days for love this month are September 4-5th and 15th, while minor challenges are more likely on the 3rd, 8th, and 30th.

Cancer

As September progresses, dear Cancer, you become more willing to live in the moment and have some fun. It all begins with Venus entering your romance sector on the 8th, and you’ll find nice energy for attracting what and who you want into your life. A New Moon occurs on the 8th in a very sociable, communicative, and friendly sector of your chart. Mid-month brings assertive Mars and passionate Eros into your romance sector, and this is when you are more willing to take a few risks and pursue romance. This stimulating energy continues through most of October as well (until October 28th when both Mars and Eros leave this sector), so take advantage. You have more verve and confidence during this cycle. Jupiter aligning with Uranus in fellow water sign, Pisces, on the 14-20 adds to this theme, especially for those of you born late in the sign. Openness and willingness to share your feelings and visions bring even more opportunities into your life. Others are likely to find you especially companionable, interesting, and generally fun to be around. This is all very light and easy energy, and a nice change from the more self-protective theme that you likely experienced in August. Better days for love this month are September 5th, 11-12, and 18th.

Leo

In September, dear Leo, you are moving from a more light-hearted and flirtatious attitude towards love, to a deeper, more intimate frame of mind. Venus enters Scorpio on the 8th, and then both Eros and Mars follow by mid-month. Scorpio is passionate and intense as it is, and is associated with your home and family sector, which is a very “deep” and personal area of your chart. You are more protective, private, and emotional about love now. Feelings run especially deep. However, your romance sector ruler, Jupiter, aligns once again with exciting Uranus this month on the 18th in your intimacy sector. This can bring sudden and stimulating changes to your love life. Deep feelings are awakened, and this energy can bring about an epiphany of sorts about your own relationship needs. For some of you, there can be a chance meeting that floors you — takes you unawares into a new dimension of feeling. Uranus rules your partnership sector, and with the rulers of your romance sector and partnership sector coming together, an existing romance might be taken to a whole new level of intimacy. Changes in your relationship patterns are on the horizon, and new insights or clues as to what these changes will involve are likely to come to you this month. Whatever the case may be, it’s a strong period for love. A spirit of openness is essential in order to fully appreciate this energy in your life. Better days for love this month are likely to be the 5th, 15th, and 18th. The 3rd, 7-8, and 20-21 require more care.

Virgo

September is a strong month for feeling more personally powerful and effective, dear Virgo, especially after the 12th when Mercury, your ruler, turns direct. The first week of the month is best used for re-organizing and tying up loose ends. The New Moon on the 8th gives you a nice boost of energy and begins a month-long cycle in which making personal changes and improvements is favored. Love matters tend to be clear and straightforward. From mid-month, communication with a romantic partner or interest is in focus. For many of you, giving voice to your desires figures strongly, and conversations can quickly become quite steamy. Venus, Mars, and Eros will be moving through your communications sector from mid-month — a light-hearted, friendly, and pleasant sector of your chart. It’s an excellent time for attracting others through your manner of speech, as well as for having open conversations about your wants and desires in love. From the 14-20, Jupiter and Pisces are aligned in your opposite sign, Pisces, and your partnership sector. This can bring sudden changes or insights into close relationships. Some of you could be feeling a little like matters are beyond your control, especially if a partner seems to be desirous of change or more freedom, but keeping an open mind instead of allowing insecurities to rule will be especially important. Better days for love this month are likely to be September 4-5th, while the 3rd could bring minor complications.

August 2010 ErosScopes – Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

Libra

You’re definitely getting noticed this month, dear Libra, so make it a good one! Fiery Mars is in your sign all of August and into September, providing you with increased energy as well as the ability to assert yourself and your needs. The goddess of love, Venus, moves into your sign on the 7th, and the god of erotic love, Eros, on the 6th. With Venus, Mars, and Eros in your sign from the 7th forward, you are really making an impression. This doesn’t happen very often, so take advantage! Love and romance are top priorities for you this month. A partner is in your corner, tending to your needs and following your lead. You can be both the pursuer and pursuee in August. You could find that you’re feeling quite lusty and desirous. There are some obstacles and competitive energies to deal with, nevertheless, particularly up until the 8th. Be careful that you are a good role model for the fairness and equality you are so ready to defend and fight for. Both you and a partner are likely feeling various pressures, not only with one another but also from the outside world. On the 20th, Venus and Mars align in your sign, and you could find this an especially strong day for personal magnetism. However, on the same day, Mercury turns retrograde, and some hesitancy about coming to conclusions is likely. From the 23rd, you begin a yearly review period for approximately a month when you require a little more rest and periods of reflection. Better days for love are likely on August 11th and 20th. Potentially more challenging days for love occur on August 6-7th.

Scorpio

There is much focus this month on your professional life, dear Scorpio, but certainly a lot is going on inside. Romantically speaking, you are reviewing the past, keeping a low profile, and perhaps giving your ego a bit of a break as you tend to more personal matters. This is also true energetically speaking. From the 6-7th forward, a partner may be a little withdrawn or troubled and in need of support. This is certainly not a month of wearing your heart on your sleeve. Keeping mum about what’s going on in your love life is more likely, and this can feel quite delicious at times! It’s not the time to push matters on the romantic front, nor to suddenly speak up about your feelings unless it’s with someone you already trust. There will be plenty of time for that when Venus, Mars, and Eros move into your sign on September 8th, 14th, and 15th respectively. That will be a better period for asserting your needs. Now is a period of reflection and getting in touch with what it is you desire most. Speaking prematurely about your desires and needs might only serve to confuse others if you are not yet clear on them. Around the 20th, someone from your past could reappear in your life. A private romance is possible, or an awakening of feelings about a past relationship occurs this month. Perhaps you become aware of a past responsibility that you now want to fulfill. The 24th can bring a romantic surprise. Better days for love and romance for you in August are likely to be the 10-11th, 20th, 28th, and 31st. More challenging days for love are more likely to be August 4th, 7th, and 18-19th.

Sagittarius

August is a rather sociable and outgoing month for you, dear Sagittarius. Until the 23rd, the Sun is illuminating your adventurous solar ninth house, stimulating your desire to break the routine, to learn, and to grow. Fiery Mars is energizing your friendship sector all month, and both Venus and Eros move into the same sector on the 6-7th. While the first week of the month can bring some hurdles into this area of your life (competitive energies run high with friends), for the remainder of the month, you’re likely to feel pleasantly stimulated socially. Love opportunities are strong when you are networking, in group settings, and with friends. The unusual or unconventional is what intrigues and excites you most this month. Anyone looking to capture your romantic attention should think outside of the box, as the familiar or traditional is not very interesting to you these days. Those of you in committed relationships might find the period beginning August 20th a little confusing. A partner could seem distant or unwilling to come to any concrete decisions. There is no need to push matters. Your ruler, Jupiter, squares intense Pluto on the 3rd and opposes restrictive Saturn on the 16th, and these could be trickier periods for you on a personal level. A better day for love and romance for you in August is likely to be the 20th, when Venus and Mars align. More challenging days for love are more likely to be August 4th and 9th.

Capricorn

You are paying a lot of attention to professional and public matters this month, dear Capricorn, and this focus is necessary as you face some increased pressures in these areas of your life, particularly in the first week of August and from the 20-22nd. A partner may feel a little ignored in the process, however. For single Capricorns, love opportunities can most certainly arise while doing business, and most of the social activity you experience this month occurs in formal settings. You are coming across as very competent and responsible, and these are the traits that seem to be winning you the most romantic attention for the time being. Saturn is moving through your professional sector now and will continue to transit this sector for another couple of years, bringing more responsibilities to your life. This can be at odds with more personal changes and evolutions that are taking place concurrently, as you feel deep changes brewing inside, as well as changes to your inner world and domestic life. You’re likely to feel these pressures most around the 16th and 21st. From the 7th forward, love is more practical and public than it has been, yet highly stimulating. The need for more activity and assertiveness in your love life becomes apparent. More harmonious days for love for you in August are likely to be the 8th, 11th, and 20th; while relationships may require more care on August 17th, 21st, and 24-25th.

Aquarius

August brings the need to tend to your close personal relationships, dear Aquarius. Putting a significant other’s needs above yours for now may help you to understand your relationship better. Your personal needs tend to take a back seat at this time in your life, and you stand to gain much insight in the process. The New Moon on the 9th brings fresh energy to your partnerships. Starting fresh is appropriate now, if only in your attitude towards relating. Mars is helping to energize you this month as it transits your adventure sector, lifting your spirits and urging you to explore the world beyond your routine. Venus and Eros enter the same sector on the 6th and 7th, increasing your powers of attraction. Others are especially attracted to your unique perspective on life, and you are likely to find it especially easy to meet like-minded individuals. You are attracted to out of the ordinary experiences–those that lift your thoughts to higher ground and beyond. People who seem exotic in some way, or different, are especially appealing. Some of you could meet someone exciting who challenges you to think differently about your life and the world this month. You want to feel that your relationships are growing and pushing you to be a better person. Romantic friendships may be a little confusing from the 20th forward. The mixed signals that you are getting now are temporary, and taking a break from pushing matters forward may be exactly what you need right now. August 16th is likely to be a more harmonious day for love, while the 7th and 22nd could require more care.

Pisces

In August, your desires are more intense and internalized when it comes to love relationships, dear Pisces. Mars is moving through your intimacy sector all month, and both Venus and Eros are transiting the same sector from the 6-7th forward. At first, you are likely to be feeling tension and pressure in love, particularly revolving around matters of sharing and intimacy. For those of you in committed partnerships, money could be the subject, although arguments over finances can often mask a deeper matter. Competitive energies in your social life could also surface now. However, from the 8th forward, you are likely to feel pleasantly stimulated rather than over-stimulated, and the opportunity to deepen intimacy is strong. Superficial connections and issues are less interesting to you this month, as you prefer to dig deep. As long as you don’t over-analyze to the point of suspicion, you are likely to find yourself enjoying deliciously intense experiences with a lover. The 20th forward can bring some form of apparent slowdown in a partnership. A partner could be giving off mixed signals or might be a little withdrawn for the time being. There is no need to push matters now. In fact, easing pressures is in order. Sometimes it’s better not to over-think matters or pressure people to say what we want to hear, and this is one of those times. The Full Moon on the 24th occurs in your sign, bringing a personal revelation to light. A stronger day for love in August is likely on the 10th, while the 4th and 19th require a little more care.

See the August 2010 ErosScopes for the other six signs (Aries to Virgo) here.

Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality.

August 2010 ErosScopes – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo

Aries

Much activity in the love and relationship department is promised this month, dear Aries. The first week of August brings challenging energy for all of us, and for you, pressures from others and your career. The 8th brings an awareness for the need for structure in a partnership, or the awareness of lack. The 9th brings fresh energy for romance as you begin a new cycle and aim to start anew. For some, a new romance is upcoming, and for other Aries, a fresh attitude about how they approach their love lives is now taken on. There’s no time for discouragement getting in the way of attracting who and what you want. It’s time to take charge. Resolve now to pursue a more rewarding love life. With lovely Venus moving out of your work sector and into your partnership sector on the 6th, and staying there until September 8th, you are feeling more romantic. Venus bring sweetness to your manner and to a partnership. Considerate attention to a partner is on the agenda. Treat others exactly how you would like to be treated, and they will return the favor. However, Mars is also moving through your partnership sector all month, stirring things up and assuring that any problems that have been swept under the carpet will come to the surface for resolve. Attraction to older or more mature partners is possible this month, as you reassess your relationship needs. A past love may step forward around the 20th, but save decision making for later. Better days for love in August are the 11th, 20th, 26th, and 28th; more challenging days for love are possible on the 1st, 6-7th, 21st, and 23rd.

Taurus

In August, dear Taurus, you are coming out of a romantic and playful period and into a more practical one when it comes to love. Mars is in Libra all month, and both Eros and Venus move into Libra on the 6th and 7th. This points to the need for adjustments in your romantic world. You begin to focus on the little things that make a relationship work, and this can be quite positive if you don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. You may not be feeling quite as confident in love, or you could be finding flaws in the relationships you’ve developed last month. In terms of love opportunities, they are more likely to arise through your daily interactions at work or even while pursuing health and fitness programs. The 20th could bring feelings for someone to light, but the 20th also begins a period of Mercury retrograde in your romance sector that lasts until September 12th. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, there may be a need to revisit old issues with a lover, a past love could reappear, or there could be some communication problems. It might seem like stagnation, but it’s actually a period of review, reflection, and rest. It’s a good time to take the pressure off your romantic life. Better days for love in August are likely to be the 11th, 20th, 28th, and 31st; while more challenging days could be the 4th, 6-7th, and 10th.

Gemini

All month, dear Gemini, fiery Mars energizes your romance sector. This can point to a pleasantly stimulating time when you’re ready to go after what you want in love. In some cases, Mars here can pull up strife, but typically it brings problems that have been brewing in an existing love relationship to the surface in order to clear the air. Saturn’s presence in your romance sector suggests taking relationship matters quite seriously, but with Venus and Eros making their appearance here from the 6th and 7th, your chances of smoothing out differences and getting to a fair agreement run very high. First things first, on the 7th and 8th there is a need to make things clear, and there could even be some ultimatums, after which you can simply enjoy one another’s company. The 20th could bring complicated love feelings to light. Relationships that are unbalanced or unfair need to be worked on this month, and you have all the tools at your disposal to do so. You are both charming and assertive in August, and you’re also giving off a pleasingly responsible aura. From the 20th, you could be giving off mixed signals, however. It’s not the time to make quick decisions. A stronger day for love occurs on the 11th. August 6th, 9th, and 20th are potentially more challenging ones in the love department.

Cancer

Feeling secure is a driving force for you when it comes to love relationships, dear Cancer. This is generally the case for you, but even more so this month. You are less likely to try out something new, and more focused on past and present relationships in August. For the time being, you are building up your confidence, and any hesitancy about starting fresh or pushing forward in the romance department is quite natural for you at this time. Familiarity is especially important to you in love. Anyone trying to win  your attention romantically speaking would be wise to keep things quiet, traditional, and free of pressure. You are taking your time, and this is natural. The only caution here is that clinging to past behaviors is not going to do any good. Reviewing your love life and your needs is the way to go. Dates that appeal most, for the time being, are familiar ones or those that keep you close to home. Next month, you are  more likely to come out of your shell and “live in the moment”.  In August, observe, listen, and review. Find strength in what you already have. Better days for love are likely on August 11th, 20th, 28th, and 30-31. Challenging days for romance are more likely on August 4th, 6th, and 10th.

Leo

Your sunny personality is in the spotlight this month with the Sun in your sign until the 23rd and the New Moon in Leo on the 9th. The first week of the month can bring some challenges with a casual love affair in the form of more intense demands or complications, after which love is more light-hearted. Communication is the key in August. You are especially magnetic when it comes to how you express yourself. Love opportunities can come through the written word, over the telephone or internet, and through neighborhood events and learning environments. There is likely to be much talk about fairness and equality in your relationships, although not necessarily action to back it up quite yet! For those already coupled, you’ll be wanting to keep things on the move and busy, and there could be some especially fun communications between the two of you. Your partnership sector is ruled by Uranus, and Uranus, in retrograde motion, moves back into Pisces on the 13th. This can in some cases point to a committed partner returning to a previous condition or point of view. He or she may not be quite as easy to understand for the time being. Better days for love are likely to be August 11th and 19th; more challenging times for love could arrive on the 6-7th, 9-10th, 20-21, and 24th.

Virgo

Until the 6th/7th, Venus and Eros continue to occupy your sign, dear Virgo, augmenting your physical and personal magnetism and putting you in the spotlight. Others are quite naturally drawn to you during this cycle. After these dates, Venus and Eros join Mars and Saturn in your solar second house, and love becomes less dynamic or insistent. Your own needs from love revolve more around sensual pleasure and hands-on expressions of love, as well as comfort and security through to the end of August.  Saturn is already occupying your solar second house, and will stay in this sector for a couple of years. As the ruler of your romance sector, Saturn here brings a much stronger need for security and familiarity in your love life, which can sometimes be at odds with Pluto’s presence in your romance sector, which is bringing some changes and evolutions in your desires. The 20th marks the beginning of Mercury’s retrograde cycle in your own sign. This cycle will continue until September 12th, and can point to some level of withdrawal. You are taking more time to come to decisions, and this is a natural process. It’s not the time to push forward just yet, even with the Sun entering your sign on the 23rd. Be aware that you may be giving off some mixed signals. Better days for love are likely on August 8th, 10-11, 20th, 23rd, and 30th. Potentially more challenging days for love occur on August 4th, 6th, 16th, and 19th.

The August 2010 ErosScopes for the other six signs (Libra to Pisces) are available here.

The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart. Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second. Also, sometimes I have more to say for some signs, simply because more astrological activity is taking place that is related to relationships for that sign this month (or because I am digressing!). This does not mean I am biased towards any particular sign.

July 2010 ErosScopes – Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

Libra

Until the 10th, your social life tends to be busy and active, dear Libra. From the 10th forward, more introspection and perhaps reticence is with you on love matters. You’re taking the time to sort through your feelings. A partner is likely in a similar state of mind until after the 29th, when his/her intentions are much clearer. A serious quality to your outlook returns this month with Saturn re-entering your sign on the 21st. It might seem that everything or everyone is changing around you and the tendency is to want to keep things status quo. Working on yourself is necessary now as you examine your responsibilities, especially those that you may have let slide in recent years. Changes brought about by a partner may feel irresponsible or simply worrisome to you later this month. Insecurities are brought up that need to be dealt with. Perhaps a relationship that seemed very hopeful now looks slightly less so, but taming your expectations will in fact get you to a better, more realistic place. The 25-26th may bring exciting revelations in a romance. On the 29th, fiery Mars enters your sign and will stay in it until September 14th, endowing you with more confidence and clarity, and also bringing a partner into your corner. A better day for love in July is likely to be on the 5th. Minor annoyances or snags in your love life are more likely on the 7th, 20th, and 31st.

Scorpio

Love is mostly friendly for you this month, dear Scorpio. Friendship and equality in your partnership is most important to you now. You are ready to try new and different things–anything that seems a little unconventional is appealing. A lover who allows you the freedom to be yourself wins the most points for the time being. You benefit from a little detachment on an emotional level this month. July is an excellent month for looking at the world around you and your own life from a totally new perspective. Looking at the big picture brings you to a more tolerant and friendly place, and certainly reduces stress. Again this month, romance is not making big headlines. You have  much to learn from the contacts you make now, especially those with people outside of your usual circle. The 8-10 can bring some minor let-downs, although if you think about it, you probably saw it coming. The 12-13 is an excellent period for your powers of attraction and a feeling of starting fresh. Better days for love and romance for you in July are likely to be the 12-13. More challenging days for love are more likely to be July 8-10, 26th, and 29th.

Sagittarius

Your attitude towards love and romance has been in a state of flux. Jupiter and Uranus moved into your romance sector last month and bring a preview of themes to come next year. For now, while you’ve been feeling very optimistic, some reality checks are likely this month, perhaps involving challenging decisions to be made in your social life. Love is practical this month. Some of  you could be meeting love interests through business contacts or your career. The 11-12 brings an awakening of sorts that has you examining your deepest feelings towards sharing with a partner. For some of you, this new energy for change takes place on a financial level. For others, your intimate life is bringing a sense of a new beginning. It’s an excellent time for quitting bad habits and getting rid of negative dependencies. Saturn moves out of a square to your sign on the 21st. Saturn has been square your sign on and off since 2007, and this transit has not always been an easy one. You have been learning a lot about your capabilities, responsibilities, and the people in your life. Now is the time to move forward with a more mature and realistic outlook. Many of you will be feeling like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. A more spontaneous and free feeling is with you now. More harmonious days for love for you in July are likely to be the 7th, 11th, and 25th; while relationships require more care on the 13th, 19th, and 30th.

Capricorn

July is a strong month for partnerships as well as your attitude towards close relationships in general, dear Capricorn. The 11th brings a Solar Eclipse in your partnership sector, signaling a brave new beginning for close, committed relationships. In the days leading up to the eclipse, there can be a lot going on with a partner or with your attitude towards relationships in general. Others could be a little temperamental now, and you will likely be receiving a lot of signals and intuitive flashes that indicate a need to observe and feel rather than act just yet. The energy of this eclipse will be with you for some months. After its occurrence on the 11th, you have the power to make important changes. Some of you will be starting a new serious relationship or bringing an existing relationship to a new level.  Ties can deepen dramatically now. Casual relationships are especially positive and upbeat this month. It’s a great time for breaking the routine and exploring new avenues for entertainment with a special someone. You are especially attracted to people who have a great sense of adventure. Opportunities for romance abound and your personal magnetism is strong. Better days for love this month are likely to be July 9th, 22nd, and 31st. More challenging days for love are likely on the 10th, 21st, and 29th.

Aquarius

These days, the focus is on what works rather than what doesn’t work in  your close relationships, dear Aquarius. The chance to improve partnerships comes again this month with at least one of the cosmic bodies Venus, Mercury, and the Sun in your partnership sector at any point this month. July is an excellent period for opening up communications with a special someone and working with each other instead of against one another. Enhancing intimacy comes naturally after the 10th, when deeper expressions of love and intimacy, non-superficial expressions of love (although these do not have to be spoken), and expressing psychological understanding can bring your relationship to new levels. For singles, it’s a good period for your powers of attraction, although love interests may be more inclined to simply find you intriguing than they are to approach you directly. The 11-12 can bring new energy into a committed partnership. The last week of the month brings strong emotions. Pay attention to what emerges from within you now and make the necessary changes. Better days for love this month are likely to be July 5th, 9th, and 23rd, and small challenges are more likely on the 10th, 18th, and 28th.

Pisces

Romance is full-on this month, dear Pisces. Problems that haven’t been faced in close partnerships continue to surface, but the good news is that there’s little patience for keeping them going–you’re ready to clear the air. This is due to fiery Mars’ presence in your partnership sector (until the 29th). Loving Venus enters the same sector on the 10th, helping to smooth over differences. Love is stimulating, exciting, and rewarding, even if it’s a bit of a roller coaster ride. The days leading up to the Solar Eclipse that occurs on July 11th can be a little confusing but important ones. Pay attention to your intuition. Something has to end, and this can simply be an attitude that has been holding you back from expressing yourself creatively. After the 11th, you’re ready to push any creative or romantic plans forward. Some of you will begin an exciting new romance, and others will find their romantic bonds strengthened. The need for romantic expression is strong, and any relationship that feels lifeless or dull will need–and get–a boost of excitement. Energy is fresh and forward-looking.  Better days for love are likely on July 5th, 7th, 11th, and 25th. Minor problems or annoyances in love are more likely on July 1st, 8th, and 26th.

See the July 2010 ErosScopes for the other six signs (Aries to Virgo) here.

Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important “trappings” and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. The Moon shows our underlying emotional needs that can express themselves as sexual fantasies and needs.

While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.

Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.

Also, sometimes I have more to say for some signs, simply because more astrological activity is taking place that is related to relationships for that sign this month (or because I am digressing!). This does not mean I am biased towards any particular sign.

July 2010 ErosScopes – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo

Aries

With freedom-seeking Jupiter and Uranus in your sign, dear Aries, your need to express yourself authentically is undeniable. Your eye is on the future and you are wanting to put the past behind you. However, it can be challenging to truly move forward without reminders of unfinished business around you. A sense that a partnership, or lack of one, is holding you back from chasing your dreams, and from being everything you can be, may be strong now. For the time being, major decisions might best be avoided until you have truly figured out what it is you are pursuing. It’s a good time to observe and analyze what changes can be made. Your involvement in your work, health routines, and practical matters is tremendous this  month, and this focus can mean romance is on the back burner for you just for the time being. Love is becoming a serious matter to you later in July–from the 10th when Venus exits your romance sector and enters your work sector, and then even more so after the 21st when Saturn re-enters your partnership sector. You’re looking for something mature, or something mature is looking for you! Either way, it’s time to take a hard look at how you are relating to others on a one-to-one level. Once Mars also moves into your partnership sector starting July 29th, any problems that have been brewing in relationships will begin to surface and demand attention. Better days for love in July are the 11th, 13th, and 16th; more challenging days for love are possible on the 8-10, 22nd, and 29th.

Taurus

Romance continues to keep you on your toes this month, dear Taurus. From the 10-29, both romantic Venus and feisty Mars move through your romance sector, and this indicates a busy period for casual relationships, and a more romantic and playful period for committed partnerships. Eros, the god of erotic love, is also moving through your romance sector and harmonizing with your Sun, so July does promise to bring much excitement and stimulation to your romantic life. You are pursuing love, and love is pursuing you. Saturn has been moving through your romance sector on and off since 2007 (mostly on), and on July 21st, leaves this sector for good (that is, for another 28 years). The lessons you’ve been learning in love and romance should now be crystallized and absorbed. Perhaps a love relationship has reached a more mature state, or you’ve learned to keep your expectations from love more realistic. You’ve been feeling the weight of responsibilities to lovers, learning much through your interactions with casual partners, and now the pressures are easing. Better days for love in July are likely to be the 1st, 6th, 13-14, and 30th; while more challenging days could be the 9-10, 19th, 27th, and 29th.

Gemini

July may be a rather tame month romantically speaking for you, dear Gemini. Towards the end of the month, romance returns to the front burner, but for the most part, it’s comfortable and a little cautious. Partnerships have been exciting for you recently, with your partnership sector ruler, Jupiter, entering a new sign and aligning with electric Uranus. Friendships have been changing as well. This month, Jupiter turns retrograde, and while this doesn’t put an end to the excitement, it does mean that things aren’t moving at the same brisk pace, giving you time to think and sort through recent experiences. Venus in your solar fourth house from the 10th suggests a return to the heart of a relationship, and a need for familiarity and comfort. On the 21st, Saturn re-enters your romance sector, and this indicates that for the next couple of years, lessons about love, especially the more casual kind, will awaken you to the need for more maturity and realism in this area of your life. Fiery Mars enters your romance sector on the 29th, and any problems or frustrations that have been brewing in love relationships will begin to surface and demand your attention. Mars will stay in this sector from July 29-September 14. Romance picks up pace, and you are ready to pursue love full-on. Stronger days for love occur on July 6-7, 11th, and 25th. July 9-10, 13th, and 27th are potentially more challenging ones.

Cancer

A solar eclipse occurs in your sign on July 11th, dear Cancer, and it’s time for a personality makeover. It’s your time to start fresh and to shine! Relationships have been especially revealing recently, and ideally you’ve seen that they are mirroring some of your own insecurities so that you can work on them. Improving your self-image is essential now. Your ability to take charge of your life is called up for inspection this month, and as you learn to become more self-reliant, you’ll see major improvements in your love life. It’s not that you need to go it alone in order for others to see you in the best light. Instead, the goal is to detach yourself a little and learn about your own needs and desires. Partnerships require more equality in order to thrive. They are not going to thrive if one of you is doing all or most of the giving. Communication becomes especially important to you from the 10th forward. Keeping things light and fun will be the most rewarding. More opportunities for love are found while learning or chatting, and possibly in your own neighborhood. This month, frequent communication  is excellent for getting you in the mood for love Better days for love are likely on July 13th and 31st. Challenging days for romance are more likely on July 10th, 21st, and 29th.

Leo

Your love life continues to feel fresh and exciting this month, dear Leo. However, July brings you a little closer to reality. You are beginning to see some kinks in your plans, but these only serve to keep your expectations from going through the roof. That’s truly where you want to be–on solid ground. Until the 10th, Venus continues to move through your sign, and you are feeling self-indulgent, attractive, and very loving. Pampering yourself is in order! It’s a good time for socializing and making sure others feel this extra magnetic appeal too. Until the 21st, however, you might feel a little reclusive as you rest up for more outgoing days ahead. After the 21st, you are feeling more self-expressive and confident. Opportunities for love continue to arise in situations outside of your normal routine, so don’t turn down invitations to venture away from the usual hang-outs. A partner who has a unique perspective on life is what turns your head. Still, security and comfort become especially attractive to you this month, so a love interest who is familiar or comfortable in his/her own skin is most appealing.  Better days for love are July 5th, 16th, 23rd, and 26th; more challenging times for love could arrive on the 8-10 and 22nd.

Virgo

A strong month for love and romance is in store for you, dear Virgo. From the 10-29, loving Venus, fiery Mars, and sexy Eros all occupy your sign. This doesn’t happen often, so take advantage! You are feeling amorous, attractive, and more confident in July. You are able to assert yourself and make your desires known without feeling guilty. Energy levels run high. It’s likely to be a sociable month with a Solar Eclipse occurring in your friendship sector, stimulating you to make changes in how you approach the world around you. Increased involvement with friends and groups can be especially inspiring these days. Saturn has been in your sign on and off (mostly on) since 2007, and is now leaving it. This takes some of the pressure off as well as some of the extra weight you have been carrying that may have interfered with expressing yourself spontaneously. You are likely to find yourself especially attracted to people with good manners, who are balanced and patient, and who treat others fairly. Equality in relationships is becoming especially important to you. Better days for love are likely on July 3rd, 5-6, 13th, 21st, and 31st. Potentially more challenging days for love occur on July 8th, 10th, and 26-27.

June 2010 ErosScopes – Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

Libra

Sudden opportunities with or through a partner arise this month, dear Libra, particularly for those of you born very early in the sign (September 23-24). A surprising circumstance or sudden change of attitude can occur and jolt you out of your usual routine when it comes to relationships. Some of you might enter into a new partnership quickly, or meet a special someone with whom you have strong intellectual or communicative ties, and the desire to take it to the next level is consuming. Unusual, exciting, and perhaps erratic themes are likely to arise in your close relationships over the coming years, and this month and summer, you’ll get a little preview of how this energy might play out in your life. Conditions that you once accepted might begin to feel confining, and will need a major overhaul. Reinventing a relationship and/or your whole attitude towards commitment and partnership is in store. Endings may occur, but keep in mind that “one door closes and another door opens” applies to your life this year. This month, you are not as direct about your own motives and desires, but a partner is asserting his or her independence quite boldly. You might be feeling a little uneasy, particularly with all that is going on in your life beyond love, but try to embrace the exciting new energy in your life. Some of you will be taking a more casual relationship to a new level, perhaps impulsively. In general, June is a month in which you could be feeling insecure and perhaps fearful of the inner and outer changes in your life. However, change is essential now, and it’s best to leave yourself open to new experiences. Casual love relationships are especially exciting now. Some of you will be attracting people with strong Sagittarius or Jupiter in their charts into your life experience. After the 14th, the need for equality and pressure-free relating is strong–and a big turn-on. Better days for love in June are likely to be on the 9th and 14th. Minor annoyances or snags in your love life are more likely on the 2nd, 7-8, and 27th.

Scorpio

While June brings change and excitement to the lives of every sign of the zodiac, dear Scorpio, it’s likely to be a little quieter for you when it comes to your love life. Changes seem to be occurring primarily with your work and domestic life this month. Opposition or problems from a friend are possible from the 4-9th. Venus harmonizes with your Sun until the 14th, and stimulates the need for a bit of adventure and exploration in your love life. The exotic appeals to you now, and anything that feels monotonous or lifeless is a turn-off. Fortunately, you are not likely to get yourself into a rut now, and your partner will certainly appreciate your get-up-and-go. Your social agenda is busy this month, and work is grabbing a lot of your attention. After the 14th, you’ll have more opportunities than usual to socialize and connect with people through your work. A feeling of belonging is important to you now, as well as approval, in your love life. Sharing goals with a partner is especially important to you during this cycle. The Lunar Eclipse on the 26th brings events into your experience that highlight your need to change how you approach and communicate with the people around you in day-to-day life. Better days for love for you in June are likely to be the 7th, 9th, 15th, and 22nd. More challenging days for love are more likely to be June 2nd, 4th, 8th, 13-14, 17th, and 30th.

Sagittarius

Romance and partnership are strong for you this month, dear Sagittarius, and your personal magnetism gets a pleasing boost. Taking creative or romantic chances is likely. Your ruler, Jupiter, is aligning with electric Uranus in your romance sector this month. Both planets have also changed signs recently, from Pisces to Aries. Your ruler will be in the sign of Aries from June 6-September 8, and will return to finish its transit in 2011. So, you will be getting a taste of its fiery, independent side this summer–sort of a preview of times to come. Aries energy is not completely foreign to you, as your basic nature is fiery, assertive, and adventurous. However, Aries is more pioneering, independent, and single-minded. You are likely to feel that edge now, expressing much independence and initiative, and any special person in your life will notice it, too! Uranus’ influence this month is to jolt you completely out of any routine or rut you may have gotten yourself into in recent months and years. This is a good thing and while you are bound to feel like your life is speeding up, don’t let it run ahead of you. Events are such that they remind you of the need to move forward, embrace change, and live life more spontaneously. Love affairs are unusual, changeable, and exciting for you this month and through much of the summer. Your needs from love and romance are changing quite quickly, and a new romance or entirely new romantic inclinations are quite possible. While this theme will continue for some years, from August until early 2011, things will quieten down again temporarily. More harmonious days for love for you in June are likely to be the 10th, 15th, and 17th; while relationships require more care on the 7th, 11th, 26th, and 29th.

Capricorn

June should be a pleasing month for close relationships, dear Capricorn, largely because your attitude towards others is cooperative. The goddess of love moves through your partnership sector until the 14th, and then your intimacy sector after the 14th. A lover is especially affectionate and into you this month, and you’re going to great lengths to please. Deeper, non-superficial expressions of love and intimacy are what appeal to you most right now. You’re more impressed with those who make an effort to understand what makes you tick. Your appeal lies in your willingness to share yourself. Fiery Mars enters fellow Earth sign, Virgo, on the 7th and will stay in the sign until close to the end of July. This means Mars is helping you out, endowing you with extra, mostly easy energy and the ability to assert yourself and your needs without hurting others’ feelings. This boost of natural confidence certainly adds to your attractiveness and boosts your mood as you feel “in sync” with your environment and the people in it. You also have a healthy spirit of adventure and are willing to take a few chances. A lunar eclipse occurs in the last week of the month in your sign. It’s a powerful eclipse, sort of like a super-charged Full Moon, that not only affects you in June–its energy sticks with you for a few months. A personal revelation of sorts is likely as some of the emotions that you’ve kept at bay come bursting forth into consciousness. Lunar eclipses always affect your close partnerships, as the eclipsed Moon rules your partnership sector. So, even though this eclipse is very much about you, your self-image, and your ability to stand on your own two feet, the results ricochet back to your ability to make a partnership work. Better days for love this month are likely to be June 9th and 12th. More challenging days for love are likely on the 8th, 14th, and 25th.

Aquarius

Your ruler, Uranus, is making headlines again this month, dear Aquarius, as it aligns with jovial Jupiter. Near the end of May, Uranus changed signs, from Pisces to Aries, and this brought, and continues to bring, a major shift in the ways you express yourself and approach the world. You are becoming more assertive and communicative. This month, you are feeling especially enthusiastic, creative, and generous. A new friend or group association may be part of the picture. Inspiration can be found now, and it’s likely to come through your conversations or communications with others. Wonderful energy for love relationships is with you this month as the Sun illuminates your romance sector until the 21st and brings your “inner child” out to play. You’re creative, playful, and perhaps a little flirtatious. You’re also more vocal about your affections, very able to find the right words to express yourself. Venus moves into your partnership sector on the 14th, and you’re more willing to listen and to please–something that especially helps to smooth over the differences that have been highlighted for far too long with combative Mars’ lengthy stay in the same sector, since October 2009. (Mars leaves this sector on the 7th). Take advantage! Better days for love this month is likely to be June 10th, 14th, 16th, and 28th, and challenges are more likely on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, and 27th.

Pisces

Love opportunities continue to be strong this month, dear Pisces. Venus completes her transit through your romance sector on the 14th, and then the Sun enters it on the 21st, followed by Mercury on the 25th. When planets move through this sector of your chart, your more playful, creative, and expressive side is highlighted. Others tend to appreciate you and take notice. It’s easier to find like-minded people and to enjoy yourself. Mars enters your partnership sector on the 7th and will move through it until July 29th. This energy can play out in a variety of ways. Some of you will find a partner is more assertive or even combative, or you could be expressing these traits in partnership. Problems and differences are highlighted and can’t be ignored. This can mean facing issues head-on and resolving conflicts directly and quickly, which certainly helps to clear the air. Some of you will find a partnership simply picks up pace, becoming more dynamic, exciting, and spontaneous. With your partnership ruler, Mercury, moving forward quickly again, all signs seem to point to a fast-paced and stimulating love experience this month. Overall, June demands that you keep active and expressive in love. The Lunar Eclipse on the 26th stimulates your need for friendships and could point to a revelation of sorts from a lover. Better days for love are likely on June 7th, 10th, 15th, 17th, and 24th. Minor problems or annoyances in love are more likely on June 9th, 13th, 23rd, 26th, and 29th.

The Moon shows our underlying emotional needs that can express themselves as sexual fantasies and needs.

While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.

Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.

Also, sometimes I have more to say for some signs, simply because more astrological activity is taking place that is related to relationships for that sign this month (or because I am digressing!). This does not mean I am biased towards any particular sign.

June 2010 ErosScopes – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo

Aries

Your love life is certainly exciting this month, dear Aries, and you’re feeling especially amorous and affectionate, ready to go out on a limb for love. Both loving Venus and passionate Mars occupy your fifth house of romance and play in June. You continue to pursue romance and to take the lead in love this month, but by the 7th, you are less aggressive, and by the 14th, peaceable and ready to enjoy being pursued. Luckily, a partner is feeling especially romantic and playful. Last month, you were just as ardent (if not more) in love, but a partner may not have been following your lead. This month, you’re on the same page. Your powers of attraction skyrocket in June. You are ready to take part in all sorts of love games. Your confidence runs high in general, and the desire to break free from restricting or limiting circumstances is strong. For some of you, something has come to an end in your life, whether it’s an attitude, lifestyle, or relationship. However, whatever it is, the doors are opening for something entirely new and potentially very rewarding. Friends, travel, or expansion opportunities are playing a big role in your new experience this month. There can be some struggle between the demands of family and home and those of your career and professional responsibilities, particularly towards the end of the month when a Lunar Eclipse occurs at the top of your chart, right on Pluto, which has been pushing for change on a professional or public level.  There’s been some kind of neglect in that area of life, and it’s time to pay more attention. Especially for those of you born March 21-22, this is a month of tremendous changes to the manner in which you greet the world. Better days for love in June are the 9-10, 15th, and 22nd; more challenging days for love are possible on the 2nd, 8th, and 14th.

Taurus

Your romantic life picks up pace this month, dear Taurus, although it’s not without its fair share of drama. You have been a little passive when it comes to your love life recently, and all of this is about to change after the 7th. Some adjustments and changes are necessary in order to bring harmony back to this area of your life. While others might not see it, a whole lot is going on inside you. Your dreaming world is vivid and intuition exceptionally active, and you are receiving all sorts of prompts to make inner changes. Listen to your inner voice! Some of these feelings and intuitive flashes revolve around your career and social standing. As well, your attitude towards intimacy and the way you express yourself on this level are changing. You’re thinking about give-take and working on balancing that part of your life with a lover. Some of you could be downright combative this month, which is not your usual style at all, but most of you are simply more direct, open, and assertive about your needs in love. The Lunar Eclipse on the 26th will affect your love life for those of you who are attached. A new discovery, epiphany, or outpouring of emotion is likely to occur in the last week of June. Pay close attention to what a partner is experiencing now. Your usual style is to keep calm and composed, and sometimes to avoid uncomfortable situations. This time around, the calm is excellent, but sweeping anything under the carpet won’t serve you or your relationship very well right now. Better days for love in June are likely to be the 9th, 15th, and 22nd; while more challenging days could be the 2-3, 8th, 11-12, 14th, 17th, 27th, and 30th.

Gemini

Socially, June brings excitement and opportunity, dear Gemini. Meeting new people, sudden new friendships, and, for some of you, partnership opportunities and plot twists are themes this month. Experimentation is especially important to you, as you are feeling adventurous and courageous. Others will find you especially witty and interesting, particularly from the 10-25, when you are super sharp, alert, and bright. Jupiter moving into the assertive sign of Aries this month and aligning with electric Uranus brings much excitement and spontaneity, and perhaps some level of rebellion or instability, to your love life. This theme will continue into 2011. Some of you might even make sudden and impulsive commitments or experience love at first sight during this period. An existing partner is certainly more assertive and freedom-loving. A new partner could appear quite suddenly and totally change your outlook on life. Changes might be dizzying at times, but spontaneity and a spirit of openness will bring the most rewards. It’s not the time to dig in your heels and resist change, or you will be left behind. Aquarians or people with strong Uranus in their charts tend to be attracted now. Friendship and partnership are tied together now, which can mean a friend becomes more than a friend, you might meet a partner through a friend, or what you seek in love is a relationship of equals. Singles might find more opportunities for meeting someone at school or close to home after the 14th. The last week of the month can bring surprising elements to your finances, but also to your intimate life. Stronger days for love occur on June 9th, 15th, 17th, and 25th. June 2nd, 14th, 23rd, 26th, and 29th are potentially more challenging ones.

Cancer

The goddess of love continues her journey through your sign until the 14th, dear Cancer. This position gives you natural confidence about expressing your affection, charm, and more attractive qualities. This is a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come to you without the need for your pursuing it. More and more clarity is brought to a close partnership, or to your relationship needs and plans if you’re single, this month. A partner is taking more interest in you and is increasingly more willing to cement the bond between you. However, the last week of the month brings surprising events and twists to your love life. Some of you have been trying to bring a more casual relationship to a new level or pushing for a commitment, and encountering challenges. Power games and manipulative tactics are tempting but preferably avoided. Events now can bring to a head some of the tensions that have been brewing under the surface. Remember that relationship tests are reflecting your own deepest issues and fears, and providing you with opportunities to get in touch with yourself and your innermost needs. You are called upon to make changes in your attitude towards love and dependency. Ultimately, you are learning to become more self-assured and self-reliant. Better days for love are likely on June 9th, 12th, 15th, and 22nd. Challenging days for romance are more likely on June 8th, 14th, 17th, 25-26, and 30th.

Leo

The goddess of love in the twelfth and last sector of your solar chart until the 14th suggests the need to connect to something bigger than yourself in your love life, and this can involve making some sacrifices. However, monumental shifts are occurring this month that suggest some kind of rebirth in your love life. For one, Venus enters your own sign on the 14th and your natural confidence in your powers of attraction win you an appreciative audience. For another, Eros, the god of erotic love, is traveling through your sign all month, coloring your world with a fantastic urge to seek out and enjoy romance and love games. The most powerful influence, however, involves the rulers of both your partnership sector and romance sectors changing signs, from Pisces to Aries, and joining forces! This doesn’t happen often, and represents a real shift in your love life. You are experiencing inner stirrings that prompt you to explore on a romantic level, whether that means spicing up an existing relationship, taking it to a whole new level, or meeting a romantic partner for singles. This signals either a shift in the types of people who attract you most, the types of people you attract, or in the attitudes/personality of existing lovers or partners…from compassionate, spiritual, or artistic types, to fiery, independent, and assertive types. For some of you, it can mean that a casual relationship is becoming a committed one. For many of you, it suggests enjoying a lot of fun, spice, and entertainment in your love life. For all of you, a rebirth of sorts is occurring in your attitude towards love and in your love life itself.  Opportunities for love are more likely to come when you reach out beyond your normal routine, through travel, or through higher education. While this is very new and fresh for you now, you will have quite a few years to get acquainted with a new spirit of independence and exploration in your love life. Better days for love are June 8-9, 14-15, and 22nd; more challenges in love could arrive on the 14th, 21st, 23rd, 27th, and 29th.

Virgo

Until the 14th, Venus is moving through your solar eleventh house, dear Virgo, and the need for a lover to accept you for who you are rather than pushing you to fit some kind of mold is strong. From the 14th, Venus, the goddess of love, moves into your solar twelfth house, where she is more introspective. It’s natural for you to need more time to connect with what it is you want from love during this cycle. Love can be a little complicated and hard to define for the time being. Jupiter and Uranus are moving out of your partnership sector for a couple months, and into your intimacy sector, and will return to this position again in 2011. Energy now and this summer can be considered a preview of energies to come, and is certain to bring change, excitement, and experimentation to your sex life. You’ll be wanting more excitement and openness from your intimate life, which can take you on some very interesting adventures this summer. Your attitude towards casual love relationships is evolving again this year, as you continue to explore what it is that truly–and deeply–brings you the greatest pleasure. If you haven’t been listening to your inner voice when it comes to casual relationships, you are challenged to do so now, particularly in the last week of June. Meeting with intense people or intense emotions within yourself are getting you closer to your own heart’s desire. The temptation to play games of manipulation might be strong, but is best avoided. A partner might enjoy good news on the financial front this month. From the 7th forward, fiery and aggressive Mars occupies your sign and will stay there for most of July as well. This influence can bring more opportunities for sexual expression and a partner tending to your intimate needs, as Mars rules your intimacy sector. It also suggests a more assertive and confident approach to getting what you want. Better days for love are likely on June 7-8 and 12th. Potentially more challenging days for love occur on June 2nd, 9-10, 13-14, and 23-25.

May 2010 ErosScopes – Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

Libra

Until the 19th, freedom and exploration are great needs in love, after which more practical concerns come to the fore. With Uranus soon entering Aries, unusual, exciting, and perhaps erratic themes are likely to arise in your close relationships over the next years. Jupiter will join Uranus in your partnership sector next month, and freedom will be sought, perhaps at all costs! Conditions that you once accepted might begin to feel confining, and will need a major overhaul. May is a mostly sociable month for you, especially from the 21st forward. You are making exciting new contacts and reconnecting with old friends. You are keen on sharing your personal philosophies with others and are especially intrigued with other points of view and ideas. Different people (those who you don’t normally consider your “type”) attract you. You’re looking for new and different people, and experiences. The exotic and the unknown now have more appeal to you than the familiar. After the 19th, shared goals are especially appealing. Better days for love in May are likely to be on the 4th, 20th and 26th. Minor annoyances or snags in your love life are more likely on the 19th and 28th.

Scorpio

Dear Scorpio, this is an excellent month for giving your close personal relationships the attention they deserve. From the 11th, tensions and communication troubles begin to clear up and you know where you stand. A partner is more willing to share himself/herself on deeper, intimate levels. May 13th brings a rush of positive energy to a partnership, just when you need it most. It’s a great time for making new resolutions about relationships, whether you’re in one or not. Love is exactly how you like it until the 19th–intricate, intimate, and deep. From the 19th forward, Venus in fellow Water sign, Cancer, places the emphasis on pleasure and enjoyment. You can attract what you want and need, rather than having to pursue it forcefully. This Venus cycle is comfortable for you — the world seems to be speaking your love language, and your powers of attraction are easy. Eros, the god of erotic love, occupies Cancer up until the 29th, and this brings ease to your intimate life. Others especially appreciate your zest for life, and you feel considerably freer about expressing your sexuality. Better days for love in May are the 7th, 18th, and 20th. More challenging days for love are more likely to be May 17th, 23rd, 28th, and 31st.

Sagittarius

May is strong for your social life, negotiations, and communications, dear Sagittarius, although before the 12th, some conversations can be strained and non-productive, particularly with a partner and on the job. Venus is traveling through your partnership sector until the 19th, and this helps you to keep relations smooth. It’s also good for attracting love into your life. Your ruler, Jupiter, is on the verge of an alignment with excitable Uranus, and also on the verge of changing signs. This means change is definitely in the air. Love affairs are going to be especially unusual and exciting for you this summer, and your needs from love and romance are changing quite quickly. May is a good month for getting in touch with your heart’s desire so that when these exciting planetary energies arrive, you’re at least prepared emotionally. Mars in fellow Fire sign, Leo, pumps you with enthusiastic energy this month. It’s easy to go after what you want because you are confident that you deserve it! The 27-28th brings a personal revelation of sorts, with the Full Moon in your sign illuminating some of the emotions that you’ve buried in recent months. More harmonious days for love for you this month are likely to be May 7th and 21st; while relationships require more care on the 9th, 17th, and 28-29.

Capricorn

A mostly fun month is in store for you, dear Capricorn. While some communication snafus can be irksome, especially with a romantic partner, your creative flow returns mid-month. The chance for creative and romantic new beginnings arrives just in time. A New Moon on the 13th presents an excellent opportunity for making new resolutions about your love life. It can also signal the start of a new romance for some of you. The urge to work is not as strong as usual, so down time might be in order, if you can manage it. After the 19th, Venus moving through your partnership sector brings sweet energy to any existing partnership, or the chance to attract a loving relationship for single Caps. The ability to slip into another person’s shoes can certainly impress, and it can help you to smooth over any differences that you may have had with a special someone recently. Compromising and tending to a partner’s needs is actually a turn-on for you this month, as it feeds your need to please and certainly finds an appreciative audience. A lover might be more interested in keeping things exclusive, and for sharing plenty of one-on-one time. Better days for love this month are May 7th, 18th, and 20th. More challenging days for love are likely on the 3rd, 18th, and 28th.

Aquarius

Energy runs high for romance, entertainment, and recreation in May, dear Aquarius. Loving Venus moves through your romance sector until the 19th, and the Sun takes her place from the 21st. This puts a strong emphasis on having fun, flirting, and attracting. A partnership continues to be animated and spirited this month as Mars moves through your partnership sector–something that’s been happening for many months now, but at a more typical speed for Mars. Any troubles that have been simmering below the surface are now out in the open. There’s no time to spare for resentments and long drawn-out arguments. Taking care of frustrations immediately is on the agenda. Important group connections and friendships come along suddenly this month and next, dear Aquarius. They can be eye-opening and propel you along a new path of self-discovery. As mentioned last month, your ruler, Uranus, is approaching an alignment with happy Jupiter, and this brings a great need for more freedom and happiness in your life. Uranus is also on the verge of changing signs, and symbolically, Aquarians are also on the verge of starting a brand new chapter in their lives. A better day for love this month is likely to be May 20th, and challenges are more likely on the 9th, 19th, and 30th.

Pisces

You tend to play it safe with expressing your romantic feelings while Venus moves through your solar fourth house until the 19th, dear Pisces. It can be a good time to get in touch with your deeper needs from love and romance, in preparation for a more outgoing and expressive cycle that begins on the 19th and runs into June. Until the 11th, a partner may be a little distant, after which the lines of communication open. In fact, you’re likely to have an especially chatty time with a partner. Love opportunities increase from the 19th forward with Venus in fellow Water sign, Cancer, and moving through your expressive, playful, and creative solar fifth house. You have a bigger than usual appetite for intimate pleasures with the god of erotic love, Eros, in Cancer until the 29th–and tremendous charm. It’s easier to find like-minded people, and your partner’s desire for you is especially important to you now. You’re in the mood for positive feedback, and you certainly deserve it! Better days for love are likely on May 18th and 26th. Minor problems or annoyances in love are more likely on May 9th, 17th, 29th, and 31st.

See the ErosScopes for the other six signs (Aries to Virgo) here.

Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important “trappings” and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. The Moon shows our underlying emotional needs that can express themselves as sexual fantasies and needs.

May 2010 ErosScopes – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo

Aries

Change is on the horizon, dear Aries, and a spiritual revelation/awakening or attitude breakthrough is likely to occur in May that propels you along a new path this spring and summer. While you began the year focused on the past, you are beginning to set your sights on the future, and setting your sights high! You are more self-confident and generous in spirit, and hungry for growth as well as new experiences. You might be questioning why you have settled for less to date, and you are now looking to expand your horizons and reach out for more from life. Your need for freedom can be so strong that you leave cherished things (or people!) behind. While you shouldn’t resist change now, you should avoid completely impulsive behavior. You are ready to pursue romance and to take the lead this month, and you benefit from clarity about what it is you want from your love life. May 17-June 7 in particular is an excellent period for confidently going after what you want, as well as for a romance to pick up its pace and excite you. Others are admiring your direct, playful, and confident approach. While you’re wanting excitement and entertainment from love this month, a lover or partner is more inclined to take it easy and enjoy quieter moments. Communication is especially important to you this month, and intimacy and warmth important ingredients in bed (especially after the 19th). Saturn has retreated (temporarily) from your seventh house, taking some of the pressure off commitments. Better days for love are the 2nd, 7th, and 20th; more challenging days for love are possible on the 4th, 21st, and 28th.

Taurus

Mid-month is a feel-good time for you, dear Taurus, when you feel the need to make a fresh start. Communication problems can be a bit troublesome until then, however, particularly when it comes to money and love. You may be giving off mixed signals as you take your time to express yourself–and you should be taking your time, as the tendency to say all the wrong things, or to misrepresent your true feelings, is strong. Love ties are coming up for review, and the need to put the past behind you becomes insistent. Some of you will be determining whether a romantic relationship is strong enough to be brought forward with you. The desire for freedom to explore friendships and to have your own schedule is strong, and this may be part of your dilemma. Reaching a compromise might seem difficult, but is probably the best solution. A surprising new friendship could develop this month. A light-hearted and playful approach to love is what works best for you in May. You’re less interested in emotional entanglements and the intricacies of relating than you are simply enjoying a lover’s company. It’s important to open the lines of communication with a partner as the month progresses, and to get out and about with one another. You’re especially appreciating thoughtful little gestures and communications. Better days for love in May are likely to be the 3rd, 7th, and 19-20; while more challenging days could be the 9th, 17th, 23rd, and 28th.

Gemini

You are especially magnetic this month, dear Gemini, particularly in the second half of May. With Venus, the goddess of love, in your sign until the 19th, your quiet confidence in yourself attracts others to you. Venus also rules your romance sector, bringing love opportunities to you, and ensuring that a lover is in your corner, or that love interests are paying attention. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your “love language”. It’s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come to you without the need for your pursuing it. Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde until May 11th, however, and you might be a little distant. Partnerships are on the verge of subtle change. Jupiter rules your close relationships, and is on the verge of changing signs, from Pisces to Aries. This shift looks like a positive, friendly one. Partnership opportunities can begin to arise in group settings or with friends. For those Geminis currently in a committed relationship, a noticeable shift to a friendlier, spirited, and exciting mode of relating are likely to occur this spring and summer. This month, some feelings of being blocked or unappreciated are possible. Strong energy for new beginnings in close relationships is with you in the last week of the month with the Full Moon. A partner could have a revelation of sorts, or you could see a partner in a new light altogether. Stronger days for love occur on May 7th, 20th, and 28th. May 9th, 17th, and 29th are potentially more challenging ones.

Cancer

From the 19th forward, Venus, the goddess of love, is in your sign, dear Cancer. This position gives you more natural confidence about expressing your affection, charm, and more attractive qualities. This Venus cycle runs until June 14th, so take advantage of this extra boost to your personal magnetism. Until then, you are likely feeling a little tentative about expressing your true feelings, or you could be dealing with some sacrifices on a romantic level. Nevertheless, Eros, the god of erotic love, occupies your sign until May 29th, and this position colors your life with greater passion and desire. You’re also likely to enjoy more sexual and romantic opportunities than usual. You more readily become infatuated and could be a little impulsive in love. The ruler of your partnership sector, Saturn, turns direct in motion after months of retrograde activity. This suggests that over the coming weeks, more clarity and purposefulness is brought to a close partnership, or to your relationship needs and plans if you’re single. It can also point to an increase in your partner’s interest in you, and willingness to work on making your relationship stronger. Better days for love are likely on May 7th and 20th. Challenging days for romance are more likely on May 3rd, 17-18, 23rd, and 28th.

Leo

Until the 19th, Venus moving through your solar eleventh house brings cooperative and friendly energy to your love life, dear Leo. If you are single, look for love opportunities in group settings and with or through friends. During this cycle, you are at your most magnetic when you’re expressing your humanitarian side. It’s all about friendship and camaraderie now. You are more likely to meet with people who share common ideals or goals. Your especially friendly, cooperative attitude is a major part of your charm. Some of you will be meeting new romantic interests or experiencing a rejuvenation of romance in existing relationships. From the 19th, you’re entering a more contemplative cycle in love. Venus in the twelfth and last sector of your solar chart suggests the need to connect to something bigger than yourself in your love life, and this can involve making some sacrifices. Eros’ position in the same sector also points to the need for re-evaluation of your needs in preparation for a rebirth of sorts next month. You’re attracted to secrets and deeper elements of relating, and not as inclined to express your affections in a direct or open manner for the time being. Another element that points to an upcoming rebirth or shift in your love life is Jupiter, the ruler of your romance sector, on the verge of changing signs. Take the time to figure out what it is you really want from your relationships now. Mars continues to energize your sign, keeping you active and confident. Better days for love are May 2nd, 17th, and 20th; more challenges in love could arrive on the 19th and 21st.

Virgo

Until the 19th, you are mostly serious about love, dear Virgo, and romantic opportunities are stronger when you are mixing business with pleasure. Venus in the most public sector of your solar chart keeps your attention on your responsibilities and reputation, and it also endows you with more grace and charm in any professional situation. Venus enters your solar eleventh house on the 19th, and you’re entering a cycle in which your loving nature is most stimulated when you’re feeling a sense of camaraderie as well as the freedom to be who you are instead of what others expect you to be. Reticence about changes in a close personal relationship is something you have been struggling with for some time, and now is a good time to examine what is holding you back. Fear of change is likely felt now with Saturn finishing up in your sign (until July), but changes are calling you, knocking on your back door. This likely means that you’re contemplative more than active this month, particularly until the 11th while your ruler, Mercury, is still retrograde. This summer promises to be an eye-opening one. Something is stirring deep inside of you, and an awakening of sorts is in store, particularly on an intimate level. You’ll be wanting more from your intimate life, which can take you on some very interesting adventures. Better days for love are likely on May 4th, 7th, 20th, and 26th. Potentially more challenging days for love occur on May 2nd, 9th, 18th, 28th, and 31st.
