ErosScopes: August 2010 Love Horoscopes for Libra to Pisces

Horoscopes for the month ahead, with a focus on love, sex, romance, and style. 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.

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.
