July 22-August 22 Every year, when the Sun is in Leo, romantic relationships come into focus. Your mind is on pleasure-seeking activities.

July 26-August 10 This is a time when you think and talk about romance. You are more rational about love and pleasure now, so it could be a great time to open up a conversation with a lover.

Partnerships:

August 19-October 4 Close partnerships become heated. Watch for impulsiveness.

August 29-November 4 This is a time when you tend to want to talk about your relationship with a partner. Your ability to rationalize and slip into another person’s shoes could help boost a partnership.

April 6-30 Venus is in your sign now, and the world seems to be speaking your love language. You are more inclined to be appreciated and even adored now.

Other Love Trends in 2008

Saturn has left your fifth house of romance and pleasure. You have already become serious about a romance or faced the pressures of loneliness in love. This year, work is more of a focus than anything. This is not to say that your love life isn’t active! The fact that there are few major influences on your sectors of love, romance, and marriage suggests that your love life is more status quo than anything, which can be a great thing. The only influence in 2008 is a solar eclipse in your romance sector in August, suggesting that you may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. The way in which you pursue pleasure is subject to change in the second half of the year. Something is stirring within you–a feeling of unrest or dissatisfaction with your level of enjoyment in life–and this inner discontent demands a few changes. Passion and intensity in affairs of the heart can run rampant and enthusiasm overflows. A new beginning on a romantic level is in store, whether this is a new relationship or a fresh start in an existing romance. Intense activity regarding partnerships occurs in 2008 from the last few days of August through September. Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your partnership sector puts partnering in close focus.
