LoveScopes
| Bottom Line: We value practical expressions
of affection with Venus in Virgo this week, and Mars in Cancer adds
familiarity and sensitivity to the mix. Eros is in Gemini, however, and
communication is valued as a turn-on. From Tuesday forward, strong
Uranian energy can bring the need for excitement and a fear of
commitment. |

Aries
and Aries Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, placing the goddess of love
in your solar sixth house. You are at your magnetic best when you
stay disciplined, stick to your schedule, and honor others'
schedules as well. Do your best to be on time. If you've been off
track, be kind to yourself, but make sure you re-commit to your
personal goals. During this cycle, you are most successful
performing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You are
more likely to fuss over your lover and show your affection through
practical gestures. Try to avoid nitpicking and over-analyzing love.
Unless you take steps to prevent it, there is the possibility of
your love life becoming too routine during this cycle. Mars is in
Cancer until September 18th, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to
to your home life. The tendency to rub people the wrong way now
should be watched. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th
launching a cycle that occurs in your sector of work and health.
It's time to take charge of your daily routines. It's a great time
to start fresh at work or at the gym! Work, service, and health
routines are the focus. Eros is in Gemini until October 8th. This means Eros is journeying through your communications
sector, and your style of communication boosts your magnetic powers.
It's time to let your lover know what you want and what has been
making you especially happy. Erotic talk works for you right now.
You may be more inclined to write letters to your lover, or enjoy
writing and reading erotica. For the time being, it may be difficult
for you to turn your mind off during sex, making it difficult for
you to simply "let go".

Taurus
and Taurus Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, placing the goddess of love
in your romance and pleasure sector--a very happy place! You're at
your magnetic best, and you're feeling especially playful. Take a
break from the daily grind, but don't hide yourself away. Do

great time to get in touch with your inner child. Eros is in Gemini
until October 8th, and you feel sexier in an earthy way. You come across as
more attractive when you feel secure, tended to, and comfy. Security
actually turns you on now, and others will find your assertiveness
in this area mighty attractive. You may be inclined towards more
sexual possessiveness during this cycle, and "self-love" could
increase along with a greater urge for physical satisfaction of your
sexual needs. For the time being sexual intricacy is not as
attractive. Your sexual nature is now rooted in the senses.

and your solar fourth house. You are at your magnetic best when you
listen to your gut feelings during this cycle. Your heart is with
your home and family, and that's just fine. You don't need to hide
yourself away, however. Emphasize your home-loving and nurturing
qualities, and others will see you in a most positive light. This is
an excellent cycle under which to bring more harmony and pleasant
interactions to your relationships with loved ones. Beware of a
tendency to wall yourself up. Mars is in Cancer until September
18th, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your finances and
desire for security and comfort. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on
August 28th launching a cycle for you in which your domestic life
takes top billing. Making yourself feel comfortable and secure is
paramount, and you have every chance to boost your feeling of
stability and support during this cycle. Eros is in Gemini until
October 8th. This means Eros is
journeying through your own sign, making this an exceptional period
overall for romance and sexuality. We're all tuning into your

and Cancer Ascendant: Venus is in Virgo until September
14th, and your expressive third house--a pleasant place in your
solar chart. During this cycle, talk is good--perhaps even great.
Listen to others, express yourself, and get yourself out there.
Communicate! Even if you feel like you want to be left alone, others
will find ways to intrude. This is a period in which you can
successfully use charm, flattery, and your sense of humor to make
peace with others and to turn a few heads. This week, you have more
opportunities to improve relations with relatives, and to socialize,
especially in your immediate environment. You're expressing yourself
with charm and grace right now, whether it's through what you say or
what you write. Mars is in Cancer until September 18th, bringing
heat, urgency, and vitality to your manner of self-expression. Mars
is officially out of "hibernation" mode in your privacy sector and
is now in your sign. This makes you hard to ignore! You're wearing
your passions on your sleeve, and you're getting a lot of attention.
You're prouder than ever, and you're likely looking for instant
gratification! A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th launching
a cycle for you in which you are more communicative and busy than
usual. This is a great time to present your ideas and to improve
your communication skills. Eros is in Gemini until October 8th. What goes on in closed
quarters is what turns you on the most. Share a dream or a secret
with your lover, and it's bound to boost your sex life! There may be
a sexual lull in your life during this period. However, there is an
equal possibility that you can improve your sex life by bringing
more spirituality and fantasy into the picture. Unusual sexual
fantasies, attractions, and dreams could feature now. Listen to what
your subconscious is telling you in this regard. You may discover
new facets to your sexuality if you do.

Leo
and Leo Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, and your solar second house.
You're at your magnetic best when you emphasize the secure and
sensual side of your nature. Let others know they can depend on you.
You could be a little extravagant with your spending now, especially
if you are unhappy with your love life! Possessiveness (as long as
it isn't taken too far) makes you feel secure just now. Mars is in
Cancer until September 18th, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to
your private life. The tendency towards pulling back or using
indirect methods in order to go after what you want is strong during
this cycle. Sexual energy can be privately delicious, serving, or
repressed, depending on your nature and current life circumstances.
A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th launching a cycle for
you in which sensual pleasure and comfort levels are the focus. It's
time to get in touch with exactly what pleasures and comforts you.
In the long term, this will allow you to share yourself more
sincerely with others in an intimate way, as you will be bringing a
more self-assured "you" into your relationships. Eros is in Gemini
until October 8th. Journeying through your sector of friendships, the lines between
friends and lovers could blur. You may be a little detached on a
sexual level for the time being. You are more intrigued by the
unusual, finding variety exciting in your sex life during this
cycle.

Virgo
and Virgo Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, and with Venus now in your
own sign--a blessing indeed--you're feeling on top of the world.
It's all about you, and you're paying attention to your image and
mannerisms. You probably won't need to do much to attract attention,
but anything that boosts your feelings of self-worth will help you
benefit from this exciting transit. The rest of the world seems to
be speaking your love language right now. Turn on the charm! It's a
great time to exert your personal influence, as you are coming
across as especially cooperative and graceful. Your people skills
are above par. You have romantic energy working for you big time.
Your love life is bound to step up a notch. It's a passionate time,
although you are unlikely to be displaying a whole lot of
self-discipline. Mars is in Cancer until September 18th, bringing
heat, urgency, vitality, and possibly some strife to your
friendships. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th launching a
cycle in which you, your mannerisms, and your appearance are the
focus. This cycle is sure to give you a big boost of energy and your
fair share of attention until at least the next New Moon on
September 27th. Eros is in Gemini until October 8th. This
places this sensual asteroid in your solar tenth house, and erotic
undertones may be found on the job. You may also display more
responsibility towards your sexual partners during this cycle.

Libra
and Libra Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, the sign just behind yours,
placing the goddess of love in your solar twelfth house. This cycle
indicates that you're more attracted to secrets, whispers, and
private affairs for the next while. Inspired and imaginative
sexuality is on the agenda with Venus in your privacy sector. It's a
cycle in which all that is hidden and private attracts. Until
September 14th, you are bound to find love in hidden or unexpected
places. Your dreams and intuition are telling you something--and
it's magical. In love, it's best to avoid taking premature action.
You're laying low, and that's just fine. Unconditional love is the
way to go. You are called upon to be selfless, to help, to
understand, and to serve. It could be hard to find satisfaction if
you don't go this route. You are more impressionable now, and in the
mood for secrets. This cycle could mark the beginning of a secret
affair. Also, circumstances or your own reserve may prevent you from
openly declaring or expressing your love needs. Love yearnings that
cannot be fulfilled in any direct way arise. Hold off on decisions
about love for now. Lay low, reflect, and enjoy. This is a quiet
cycle that is part of a natural process. For some, it's a period of
letting go in preparation for the Venus in Libra cycle that begins
September 14th. Mars is in Cancer until September 18th, bringing
heat, urgency, and vitality to your public life and to your career
and public life. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th
launching a cycle in which privacy and recuperation are the focus.
This is an especially spiritual cycle for you--a time when you renew
your energy and consider what things are important to you, and what
things have run their natural course. Eros is in Gemini until
October 8th and in your adventure sector - a very expressive position!
Adventure and self-expression are the themes in your sexual life.
It's time to come out of the woodworks. You feel considerably more
free about expressing your sexuality. If you happen to be traveling
during this cycle, a romantic adventure may be on the agenda! You
also display a stronger zest for life in general during this cycle.
Note:

Mars, the current New Moon cycle, and Eros relative to your sign.
These cycles last longer than a week, and thus interpretations
will not change from week to week until the factors themselves

Scorpio
and Scorpio Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th placing the goddess of love
in your solar eleventh house. Bring a spirit of friendship into
existing partnerships, and if you are single, look for love
opportunities in groups and with or through friends. Friends are
bound to lean on you a little, and it feels good. Remember that you
are at your most magnetic when you're expressing your humanitarian
side openly, schmoozing with friends, and enjoying group activities.
It's all about friendship and camaraderie now. During this Venus
cycle, you are bound to meet with people who share common ideals or
goals. Your especially friendly, cooperative attitude is a major
part of your charm this month. You need and want to socialize now.
Differences between people you love are not causing problems during
this period. This is an easy, flowing position for Venus. Take
advantage of the smooth, magnetic energy by surrounding yourself
with people. Mars is in Cancer until September 18th, bringing heat,
urgency, and vitality to your desire for adventure, higher learning,
and travel. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th launching a
cycle in which socializing and networking are the focus. It's time
to expand your social circle and to make more contact with groups
and friends. Eros is in Gemini until October 8th. With Eros in the most intimate sector of your chart,
your magnetic appeal lies in your depth and ability to be intimate.
It's all or nothing for you right now! Superficial and casual
relationships simply don't cut the mustard. More deeply passionate
expressions are now on the agenda.
Note:
These horoscopes interpret the positions of Venus,
Mars, the current New Moon cycle, and Eros relative to your sign.
These cycles last longer than a week, and thus interpretations
will not change from week to week until the factors themselves

Sagittarius
and Sagittarius Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, placing the goddess of love
in your solar tenth house. You are more attractive when you show
your responsible, managerial, ambitious, and constant side during
this Venus cycle. Having a steady and reliable sexual partner is
especially attractive to you now. Don't phone in sick this month!
Love can be found on the job, or erotic undertones may be in play.
Socializing and making friendly contacts at work can help boost your
career. Cooperation benefits you professionally or enhances your
reputation. Attending an important social event is possible now. A
romance or beneficial friendship that begins as a business
connection could be part of the picture. You may also feel that you
especially love what you're doing at the moment on a professional
level. You may make a good friend or meet someone especially
charming through your work. Mars is in Cancer until September 18th,
bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your intimate relationships.
A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th launching a cycle in
which career matters come to the fore. Feeling secure and
comfortable on the job is important to you now. Showing your
authority and a "take charge" attitude is important now, but
gentleness is important as well. Eros is in Gemini until October 8th. This means that Eros is in your
partnership sector, opposing your Sun, and putting sexuality on your
mind more than ever. You need someone special (and perhaps a
commitment) in order to feel truly satisfied. Your partner's
romantic or sexual desires may throw you for a loop, but if you
listen closely and non-defensively, you will learn a whole lot about
your lover. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that
are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find
yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners,
this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are,
and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just
find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious--as
long as you are truly listening instead of reacting! Sexual activity
is stimulated now, and your partner may be the one who is most
turned on.

Capricorn
and Capricorn Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, placing the goddess of love
in your adventure sector. This is an expressive and outgoing
position for Venus. You are more obviously magnetic during this
cycle. It's a wonderful position for Venus, so take advantage by
spreading your good humor. It's time to get noticed. During this
cycle, you're at your most magnetic when you're being adventurous.
If you feel you're stuck in the same old routine, do yourself a
favor and plug into your interests. Do something you haven't done
before, and you're more likely to attract who and what you want.
Expressing your philosophical point of view is best right now. A
deep discussion could take your heart forward by leaps and bounds.
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. Sharing your philosophical interests with a
romantic partner may be especially appealing now. Mars is in Cancer
until September 18th, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your
close partnerships. "Heated discussions" with a close partner may be
part of the picture for the next few weeks. Make sure the
competitiveness you feel in your relationships is kept at a healthy
level. Close personal relationships may be especially demanding or
active for the next while. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August
28th launching a cycle in which self-expression and adventure are on
the agenda. It's a good time to travel, learn, and do things you
normally don't do. It's also a good time to break a bad habit.
Eros is in Gemini until
October 8th and in your work and health sector. Sexuality
becomes very much a part of your routine--you recognize it for both
its mental and physical health benefits during this cycle. For the
time being, you may seek renewal through sex, with a strong
conviction that sex is healthy and good for you.

Aquarius
and Aquarius Ascendant: Venus is in Virgo until September 14th,
placing the goddess of love in your intimacy sector. All that is
deeply personal and that lies below the surface boost your mood.
During this cycle, it feels especially sexy and rewarding to keep
secrets. Be a good listener, trust your instincts, and connect with
your innermost desires. Tuning into your partner's point of view
will help improve your love life considerably right now. Your
intimate relationships are intensified, and either you or your
partner (or, ideally, both of you!) want a deeper, more intimate and
meaningful union. This is an excellent cycle under which to work on
resolving differences in values or problems with joint finances in a
close relationship. Beware of suspiciousness. Mars is in Cancer
until September 18th, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your
daily routines and work. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th
launching a cycle in which intimacy and sharing issues become
especially important to you. This is an especially good cycle for
you to learn more about your deepest needs and desires. Eros is in
Gemini until October 8th and your romance and pleasure sector--an exciting place for the
god of erotic love to be. What fun! It's a time of new beginnings in
the romance department. You have a bigger than usual appetite for
sexual pleasures--and tremendous charm. It's time to have a little
fun with your fantasies. As well, it's easier to find like-minded
people during this cycle. Your sexual style is especially
well-received. Your partner's desire for you is especially important
to you now. You could be given to flirtatiousness and infatuations.

Pisces
and Pisces Ascendant:
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, your opposite sign, placing
the goddess of love in your partnership sector. This is a cycle in
which cooperation and harmony in relationships satisfies an
instinctive need. If you have a partner, get out the massage oil,
tune into your lover's needs, and let him or her grab the spotlight
for now. It's time to let others shine. If you're single, your
unselfishness and willingness to listen will help boost your
magnetic appeal. You are coming across as especially smooth, and
your good nature is bound to attract some attention. Mars is in
Cancer until September 18th, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to
your romantic affairs and pleasure-seeking activities. This position
of Mars gives you a big boost of confidence, and your personal
magnetism runs high. To be appreciated, adored, and admired is what
you hunger after. It's a time of creativity, drama, and passion--you
love being in the spotlight. Because you are very comfortable with
your sexuality, you can help your partner overcome any sexual
hang-ups they may have. A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th
launching a cycle that emphasizes partnerships and partnering. Your
special someone might be asserting him or herself. Do your best to
listen. Feel out your partner's comfort zones. In the long run,
you'll learn a whole lot about how you can take your relationship
further. This could very well be the start of a new relationship for
singles. Keep your eyes open! Eros is in Gemini until October 8th. This places Eros in your solar fourth house, and you
are most turned on in intimate, comfortable settings. Coziness makes
you feel warm and fuzzy--and sexual. Quiet, intimate moments are
most appealing. Intimacy and warmth are powerful stimulants for you
during this cycle. You may be seeking to achieve psychic and
emotional renewal through sex.

Overview
Venus is in Virgo until September 14th, when Venus enters
Libra.
Venus
is in Virgo from August 21-September 14. This is a time when we
express our love through practical means and gestures--running errands,
doing detail work, or just "being there" for our lovers. Essentially, we
fuss over our partners, sometimes a little too much! Our availability
and accessibility is a sign of love. Love needs to make sense and have a
purpose with Venus in Virgo. Virgo is an Earth sign, which is sensual
but also quite practical. We could easily feel guilty if we are too
self-indulgent during this cycle. We can be a little shy and prone to
worry. We pick up on many different cues, attempting to analyze every
detail of our lovers' reactions and responses. We could worry ourselves
sick agonizing over details! In the process, we can miss out on the
bigger and perhaps more meaningful cues. As well, Virgo is a sign that
can live very much in the mind in the middle of an experience, failing
to enjoy the moment. Self-consciousness can get in the way of enjoyment.
Rendering services to others can fill a need, and can be an expression
of love. The shadow side of this position is being overly critical of
our partners, picky, or worrisome.
Venus
is in Libra from September 14-October 8. Venus rules Libra and
thus is dignified in the sign. Venus feels right "at home" in Libra, where she
seeks to balance and harmonize. With Venus in Libra, we can easily be in love
with love. We are more comfortable with a close partner with whom we can seek to
have a balanced relationship. We are more inclined to employ charm rather than
aggressive behavior in order to get what we want. Although Venus in Libra
virtually lives for relationships, there is an air of cool detachment to this
energy. We are very obliging with others--quite willing to negotiate and
compromise. We can be especially idealistic about love. We prefer things be done
the "right" way, and are turned off by aggressive or uncouth behavior. The
shadow side of this position is dependency, inconsistency, and superficiality.
In an attempt to avoid unpleasant situations, we could easily gloss over deeper
issues at play in our relationships. It's probably best to avoid the trap of
acquiescing to our partners but privately resenting the fact or thinking
ourselves martyrs for doing so!
Venus is in an Earth sign and Mars is in a Water sign until September 14th.
Earth and Water are considered compatible elements, and this combination is
rather easy and flowing. This combination is miles less contradictory than the
Fire-Water combination we have been experiencing. Under this influence, we want
stability and reliability in our relationships, but we also require emotional
bonding and intimacy in order to feel fulfilled. Our partners are of immense
importance to us, and we are generally quite helpful and kind to them. We are
affectionate and sensual rather than wildly passionate. On the one hand, we can
be dreamy and devoted, and other times we can be somewhat aloof, cool, and
practical. We are at our best when we are encouraged by our partner—we need a
lot of positive feedback—as well as when we know our partner trusts and respects
us. We are loyal to a person who has won our heart. We go about getting what we
want in life in an indirect manner, and we value all that is unspoken but
understood in bed. We are very private when it comes to matters of the heart,
and we want, more than almost anything, to always know where we stand with a
partner. The goal with this combination of Venus and Mars is to achieve a good
level of certainty without too much predictability in our romantic
relationships.
Venus is in an Air sign and Mars is in a Water sign from September 14th.
Air and Water are incompatible elements. As such, fulfilling our romantic and
sexual needs at once may be more challenging than usual. In matters of the
heart, we require some "space" and freedom to explore, and prefer not to be
possessed or caged in. However, we can display distinct moments of
possessiveness ourselves! It is important that our mind is stimulated in love
affairs, but we also strongly value subtle, non-verbal levels of communication.
We value being friends with our partners as well as lovers, but that can be a
challenge for us when we are in our more insecure moods. We are turned off by
partners (or potential partners) who are uncommunicative, dull, or lacking in
spontaneity. However, we also crave a feeling of security, and a partner who is
too outgoing might leave us feeling insecure. We can easily confuse partners by
being indifferent and objective one day, and moody the next. Although we thrive
on the emotional and physical charge that we get from sex, we are also able to
examine it from an impersonal level. Our emotional and sexual needs can be so
mixed and varied that a partner is bound to have a hard time knowing what we
want and when. It may be a challenge for us to find a deeply satisfying
partnership during this cycle, simply because our romantic and sexual needs are
conflicting.
A New Moon in Virgo occurred on August 28th. With the
New Moon in Virgo, a cycle that runs until September 27th, we may make some
Virgo-related resolutions for our love relationships. During this Moon cycle, we
have a chance to build our powers of healthy, constructive discrimination; roll
up our sleeves and get down to some serious work; begin a new project that
requires attention to details; start a health regime; and handle the "little"
details of our day-to-day life in an organized, step-by-step fashion so that we
can free our minds of clutter. The New Moon in Virgo teaches us to make sense of
our lives by focusing on tangible, practical matters. If you've ever allowed
such things as paying bills, handling paperwork, and organizing drawers or
closets go to the wayside for an extended period of time, you've probably
experienced some level of chaos (and the vague feeling of guilt that goes with
it). Tackling piles of bills, handling emails as they come in, sorting through
drawers and closets, and other such menial tasks is surprisingly relieving.
Freeing our minds of unnecessary clutter is one of Virgo's lessons, and the New
Moon in Virgo presents an ideal time to commit to such a task. Another important
lesson that we can learn from Virgo is the art of discrimination. Virgo natives
can sometimes be criticized for criticizing! Well-developed critical faculties,
however, aid us to cut out some of the fluff or the chaos in our lives, and
allow us to spot problematic situations. We all need to do a balancing act with
regards to opening our minds to others and to situations, versus deciding what
and who to cut out. This period presents an opportune time to meditate upon some
of the characteristics of Virgo. Think about the keywords for this practical
Earth sign -- such things as discriminating, analytical, intelligent, reserved,
critical, helpful, conscientious -- and consider ways to incorporate these
traits into your personality. We all have Virgo somewhere in our charts. Seek
this month to improve those areas of life. It's time to awaken the
service-oriented side of ourselves and to find ways to help or contribute to our
partnerships. With this potent Virgo energy, we have the chance to make
important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle.
This week: Venus with Uranus from Tuesday forward stimulates the need
for freedom in love this week. Energy is exciting but unstable. It's not the
time to pressure or push a loved one.

Eros is in Gemini this week.
Eros is in Gemini from August 24th-October 8th.
(
in
)
Eros in the
chatty, sociable sign of Gemini brings a lighthearted and communicative quality
to our sexual styles. Under this influence, we are sexually curious and
interested. We like to be knowledgeable in sexual matters, and may be especially
turned on by the written and spoken word. We may write letters to our lovers, or
enjoy writing and reading erotica during this cycle. Because it is difficult for
us to turn our minds off during sex, there is a voyeur within us during sexual
expression, and it may be difficult for us to simply "let go". We may especially
enjoy talking, and being talked to, during sex.
Timing and the Moon: Best Times to Have a First Date This Week:
According to the principles of timing with the Moon, there are no strong windows
of opportunity this week.
| Bottom Line: We value practical expressions
of affection with Venus in Virgo this week, and Mars in Cancer adds
familiarity and sensitivity to the mix. Eros is in Gemini, however, and
communication is valued as a turn-on. From Tuesday forward, strong
Uranian energy can bring the need for excitement and a fear of
commitment. |
