2010: Libra Love Horoscope: Love Guide

The following guide shows when, where, and how to best find or maintain love. See below the guide for more key dates and the best periods for attracting or enhancing romance, partnerships, and intimacy.

Key to the Guide

Where: Each sector of a chart represents certain areas of your life. For example, the ninth house is connected to institutes for higher learning and travel. When Venus transits that particular sector, you may have better chances finding love while traveling, doing adventurous things, or furthering your education.

How: Emphasizing your own character traits that are associated with a particular sector of the chart that Venus is currently transiting helps you to attract more pleasant and loving energies into your life.

Relationships begun now are: Relationships begun while Venus is transiting a particular sector of your chart tend to take on some of the characteristics of that sector.

Enhancing love now: Ways to improve an existing love relationship during a particular period.

Dec 25, 2009 (Dec 24, 2009 to Jan 18, 2010) Ven 4th H.

Venus 4th house: Where: In your home, through family connections, real estate activities, in someone else’s home. How: By expressing and emphasizing your domestic qualities, devotion, quietness, nurturing qualities. Relationships begun now are: emotionally charged, domestic, potentially long-lasting, somewhat private–they run deep. The relationship is likely to be sentimental, and perhaps somewhat insular. A romance begun now might be characterized by sensitivity, concern, and care on the positive side, but it could also be a moody, clinging one. If you are looking for a romance that might lead to marriage and family, this is a favorable time. Enhancing love now: Enjoying domestic activities together, nesting, spending quiet time together, expressing nurturing and protective traits towards a lover.

Jan 18, 2010 10 AM (Jan 18, 2010 to Jan 19, 2010) Ven Trine Asc

Relaxation, enjoyment, and pleasure are emphasized now. This is not a time to push yourself or to be involved in activities that require intense competition or a great expenditure of energy. Cooperative, harmonious personal and professional relationships are more important to you at this time. A pleasant, affectionate, relaxed, or courteous attitude eases your interactions now, and may open doors or help lighten troubled situations that you’ve been working with lately. You can attract what you want and need, rather than pursue it forcefully or do it all yourself. This is an excellent time to go out on a date or ask someone for a favor, because you make a decidedly positive impression at the moment. Being with people and enjoying good times (especially with beautiful, charming, lighthearted people) is really what you want now. You’re in a friendly and cooperative mood which brings ease to your interactions and an overall sense of harmony to your day. Because you are open to love and friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience. Bottom line: A very easygoing and easy energy is with you now.

Jan 18, 2010 (Jan 17, 2010 to Feb 11, 2010) Ven 5th H.

Venus 5th House: Where: At places of entertainment or amusement, parties. How: By expressing and emphasizing your playful, dramatic, spontaneous, and fun-loving qualities. Relationships begun now are: Usually very romantic, rich, playful, and full. They radiate energy and pride. They may also be quite dramatic or melodramatic. Enhancing love now: Dining out, going to shows, sharing pleasurable activities together, expressing your romantic and spontaneous side.

Feb 11, 2010 7 AM (Feb 11, 2010 to Feb 12, 2010) Ven Qucnx Asc

You are disinclined to stir up trouble or cause unpleasantness of any kind at the moment. Relationships are thus apt to be smooth, but this may well come at a cost to you. You may be at peace with others and at war with yourself; you may go along with something now that you will kick yourself for later. Choose your company carefully. Spending time with those you truly trust and enjoy should be no problem, however. A strong need for harmony, affection, approval or belongingness colors your attitude and decisions now. Overall this is likely to bring ease and engender positive feelings in your interactions and personal relationships, but in a situation in which you need to move forcefully on your own behalf it could work against you. At the very least, you’ll learn something about a friend or lover that helps you understand them. In fact, your differences may be appealing. As long as egos don’t interfere, love will reign! Bottom Line: Some awkwardness when it comes to romantic expression; feeling misunderstood. Not an ideal time to make your move.

Feb 11, 2010 (Feb 10, 2010 to Mar 7, 2010) Ven 6th H.

Venus 6th House: Where: At or through work, the gym, health food store or association, medical appointments. How: By expressing and emphasizing your dedication, practicality, work ethic. Relationships begun now are: Practical; they might be described as meetings of the minds; they may be partnerships that are unequal in some way–those that require sacrifice in order to maintain–such as boss/employee, private affairs, teacher/student. Enhancing love now: Sharing, or taking interest in, daily routines and activities, performing services or little chores for a lover.

Mar 7, 2010 8 AM (Mar 7, 2010 to Mar 8, 2010) Ven Oppos Asc

You feel quite loving and warm, with a desire to give and receive affection and appreciation. Also, your desire for beauty stimulates your creativity. If you are artistic, your work will be particularly inspired now. Indulging in your desire for beauty or luxury is likely at this time. This is a very positive time in your marriage or closest one-to-one relationships. Your need to be together and to share loving feelings is very strong. You want to give to your friends and loved ones and may spend generously in order to make them happy. You may also meet someone now who is very good for you.

Mar 7, 2010 (Mar 6, 2010 to Mar 31, 2010) Ven 7th H.

Venus 7th house: Where: Anywhere! Could be through a consultation or meeting, however. How: By expressing and emphasizing your diplomatic, tactful, compromising skills. Expressing a harmonious, cooperative, and pleasing manner. Relationships begun now are: True one-to-one partnerships, often leading to commitment; they can be decidedly romantic, at least at first; there is a real give and take associated with this house, however, which can amount to “keeping scores”. Enhancing love now: This is perhaps the most favorable time of the year to enhance an existing relationship. Expressing open-hearted interest in a lover, listening to a lover’s side to the “story”, compromising.

Mar 31, 2010 1 PM (Mar 31, 2010 to Apr 1, 2010) Ven Qucnx Asc

Mar 31, 2010 (Mar 30, 2010 to Apr 25, 2010) Ven 8th H.

Venus 8th House: Where: Privately, a bank or financial institution, an intimate venue. How: By expressing and emphasizing your quiet appeal and magnetism, mysterious manner, intensity. Relationships begun now are: Intense, all-consuming, emotionally-charged, deep, possibly stormy and characterized by possessiveness, obsession, or power games; passionate and erotic. Enhancing love now: Deeper expressions of love and intimacy, non-superficial expressions of love (although these do not have to be spoken), expressing psychological understanding.

Apr 25, 2010 12 AM (Apr 24, 2010 to Apr 26, 2010) Ven Trine Asc

Apr 25, 2010 (Apr 24, 2010 to May 19, 2010) Ven 9th H.

Venus 9th House: Where: While traveling or embarking on some kind of non-routine venture; institutions of higher learning, a study group. How: By expressing and emphasizing your adventurous, philosophical, optimistic, and brave side. Relationships begun now are: Happy-go-lucky, meetings of the mind, non-possessive, exciting, adventurous. Enhancing love now: Sharing and comparing your spiritual, religious, or philosophical interests with a friend or loved one may open up a whole new dimension of your relationship.

May 19, 2010 8 PM (May 19, 2010 to May 20, 2010) Ven Sqr Asc

A strong need for harmony, affection, approval or belongingness colors your attitude and decisions now. Overall this is likely to bring ease and engender positive feelings in your interactions and personal relationships, but in a situation in which you need to move forcefully on your own behalf it could work against you. Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you encounter now, but because you are willing to please and smooth over differences, all is likely to turn out well. At the very least, you’ll learn something about a friend or lover that helps you understand them. In fact, your differences may be appealing. As long as egos don’t interfere, love will reign! Your desire for pleasure, ease, and affection is brought to the fore and may interfere with work or complicated situations in which you need to be acting assertively and on your own behalf. Your mood and attitude is conciliatory, and your need for love and approval heightened.

May 19, 2010 (May 18, 2010 to Jun 14, 2010) Ven 10th H.

Venus 10th House: Where: Through your career, by word of mouth, business parties, mixing work with pleasure. How: Expressing your more responsible and competent side. Relationships begun now are: responsible, status-conscious, serious, long-term. Enhancing love now: Sharing goals, structuring your relationship, doing things that make you feel secure, showing your more responsible side.

Jun 14, 2010 4 AM (Jun 13, 2010 to Jun 15, 2010) Ven Sxtil Asc

Light and pleasant interactions characterize this time period. You gain what you want through diplomacy or charm and by enlisting the support of your friends, rather than by being forthright and bold. You are willing to make concessions in order to maintain harmony in your environment. You can attract what you want and need, rather than pursue it forcefully or do it all yourself. This is an excellent time to go out on a date or ask someone for a favor, because you make a decidedly positive impression at the moment. Being with people and enjoying good times (especially with beautiful, charming, lighthearted people) is really what you want now. You’re in a friendly and cooperative mood which brings ease to your interactions and an overall sense of harmony to your day. Because you are open to love and friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience.

Jun 14, 2010 (Jun 13, 2010 to Jul 10, 2010) Ven 11th H.

Venus 11th House: Where: Through friendships, clubs, group meetings, organizations, parties. How: Friendly, helpful, tolerant, breezy manner. Show your unique and progressive spirit. Relationships begun now are: noncommittal, friendly, detached, spirited, aloof. Enhancing love now: Sharing long-term goals, hopes, dreams and wishes; treating your partner as a friend as well as a lover; showing tolerance and acceptance.

Jul 10, 2010 (Jul 9, 2010 to Aug 6, 2010) Ven 12th H.

Venus 12th House: Where: Privately, hospitals or service-oriented institutions, online, blind dates. How: Quiet charm, helpful and compassionate nature, discreet. Relationships begun now are: private, behind closed doors, forbidden, intimate, compassionate, potentially confusing. Enhancing love now: Unselfish love; showing affection and attention without expectation of reward; being supportive; private activities.

Aug 6, 2010 11 PM (Aug 6, 2010 to Aug 7, 2010) Ven Conj Asc

At this time you come across in an appealing, charming, openly affectionate manner which is likely to win you new friends and admirers. You make an excellent first impression now. This is a very favorable time for doing something to enhance your appearance such as getting a hair cut or purchasing new clothing. Your personal magnetism is strong and you attract appreciation, affection, and attention at this time. Feelings of love, a desire for beauty, and the urge to be creative are strong. You beautify your surroundings and pay particular attention to your appearance. This is a good time to treat yourself or do something fun just for you.

Aug 6, 2010 (Aug 5, 2010 to Sep 8, 2010) Ven 1st H.

Venus 1st House: Where: Everywhere! How: By expressing your initiative, natural charm, friendliness, enhancing your beautiful features and personal style, expressing self-confidence. Relationships begun now are: ego-gratifying, dramatic, dynamic. Starts quickly and expectations are such that the relationship is exciting and maintains spontaneity. Enhancing love now: You’re inclined to use charm, gentle coaxing, and loving persuasion rather than more direct, forceful methods to get what you want. Charm, spontaneity.

Other Love Trends in 2010

See our full 2010 Libra Love Horoscope.

Last year, new avenues for expressing yourself and for having fun opened up to you, dear Libra. Towards the end of the year, however, you were reminded of your responsibilities, and this second trend continues in 2010 as Saturn works its way further into your sign. Saturn will cover the following range of Libra birthdays in 2010: September 23 to October 10; and will transit conjunct your Ascendant if you have a Libra Ascendant of 0 to 17 degrees. A more serious attitude towards life comes with Saturn’s influence. You are reminded of your responsibilities and you may feel some pressure and stress as you sort out the weaker links in your life. The goal is to strengthen your position in this world, and ultimately build your confidence as a result, but while the transit is happening, many of you could be feeling a little down or cast aside.

However, this summer, two outer planets move into your opposing sign, and this is certain to shake things up in your relationships, particularly for those born very early in the sign, from September 23-26. All of you will eventually feel this influence’s effects, but many of you only catch a glimpse of things to come in 2010.

In the summer of 2010 and then during most of the first half of 2011, Jupiter will be moving through your partnership sector. Many Libras will be deriving much joy and pleasure from their partnerships during these periods. Although we generally consider Jupiter to be a largely happy influence, sometimes endings occur under its influence, but generally they are for the better good all around, if they do happen. New partners met now feel much like a breath of fresh air. Challenging relationships or challenges in relationships tend to be left behind for the most part during this trend. It’s a commitment-friendly period for some of you, but for those of you born very early in the sign, Uranus is also a strong influence on your partnerships, and freedom will be more important than commitment to a partner. With the ruler of your romance sector in your partnership sector, however, romantic partners or casual love affairs move away from casual and become more like close partnerships. Some of you will be taking a casual affair to a whole new level, but the rules for this partnership need to be flexible or the relationship is unlikely to survive.

Venus (your planetary ruler) is retrograde this year from October 8-November 18, which affects all of us in general, mainly in the areas of love and finances. These matters are not straightforward during this period, and it is a time for reviewing our attitudes rather than forging ahead boldly into new love relationships or financial projects. Venus retrograde cycles always have more impact on you because Venus is the ruler of your sign. This time around is sort of a “double whammy” because, for some of the retrograde cycle, Venus is occupying your sign. From November 8-18, Venus is retrograde in Libra. As such, for the whole cycle you may be somewhat withdrawn and introspective, as well as cautious with your feelings, but you may be especially so from November 8-18.

The Mars retrograde that is with us at the beginning of 2010 up until March 10th is likely to impact your relationships since Mars is your partnership sector ruler. During this period, a partner might be a little distant, hard to reach, or hard to understand.

With Mars occupying your eleventh house for an unusually long period of time (until June), friendship and partnership are linked. Some of you might be considering bringing a friendship to a new level. Some of you are tired of the tit for tat games in an existing partnership, perhaps feeling like you’re more like adversaries than allies, and are looking to find ways to turn a partnership into a more accepting friendship. This energy could also be coming from a partner–a partner could be resisting traditional commitment “rules”. Certainly, with equality-minded Uranus beginning its trek through your partnership sector, all of you will be exploring alternative ways of relating in the coming years. Attempts to control a partnership or a partner are going to fail. With Mars retrograde in your friendship/ideals sector until March 10th, explore possibilities of improving a partnership, as well as for changing expectations from a partnership, and then work with these new ideas as Mars moves forward in this same sector until June.

With Saturn in your sign opposing Uranus in your partnership sector this year, some of you might find that you are coming down hard on a partner, who reacts by pulling away or rebelling. You might bemoan the fact that partners are unreliable or not responsible enough. Part of 2010 and 2011, Jupiter will be moving through your partnership sector also, helping you to loosen up and accept–even enjoy–the changes brought to partnerships.

You may not find that others are helping you in practical ways now. Instead, you are learning to depend on yourself. However, with an open mind and heart, you might discover that others are helping you to enjoy the fruits of friendship and partnership–the intangibles–and this can be very rewarding, if surprising and not especially “safe” or comfortable feeling.

With Uranus, your romance ruler, changing signs to Aries this year and the next, you will be finding more Aries-like (assertive, independent) people in your love life. In fact, in 2010, Jupiter aligns with Uranus a couple of times, and this brings more fiery energy into your love life. While Uranus was in Pisces for so many years, many Librans found themselves attracted to Pisces-like lovers.

Communication will be the key to love affairs surviving this year. It has to be open and honest, as well as spirited, in order to satisfy your needs.

There are four Mercury retrograde periods this year, none of which directly impact your love life. Eclipses this year are working mostly on stimulating change in your professional and domestic lives.

Eros, the god of erotic love, is in your sign from August 6-September 15. Your powers of attraction run very high during this cycle, but more in terms of you going after what you want than waiting for things to come to you. Sexual activity may be more frequent than usual. An impassioned attitude in general is with you. A more amorous time for a partner occurs when Eros is in Aries, from January 8-February 18. However, this is also a period in which a partner could be giving off mixed signals on the level of feelings.

Venus and Mars both occupy the sign of Libra from August 7-September 9–coinciding with Eros’ travels through your sign! While Mercury is retrograde for part of this time, overall, it’s a smoldering combination for love, sex, and romance!

Key Periods in 2010:

From December 20, 2009 to March 2010, your partnership ruler, Mars, is retrograde, signaling a period of introspection and reflection for a partner, when a partner might be giving out confusing signals.

January 18-February 11, however, is a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it. Best days during this opportunity period are January 22 and February 7-8.

From March 7-31, a partnership is warm, loving, and especially pleasurable.

From April 1-April 25, you attract others like bee to honey with a mysterious, sensual aura that surrounds you. This is a period of the year that is most conducive to erotic pleasure and magnetism.

August 6-September 15 is a period in which your powers of attraction run very high, but more in terms of you going after what you want than waiting for things to come to you. Sexual activity may be more frequent than usual. An impassioned attitude in general is with you. September 5 and 9 especially!

In fact, August 7-September 9 is arguably the most exciting period for love, romance, and sex in 2010, especially August 20th, when Venus conjuncts Mars in your sign; and September 4-5 and 9.

October 8-November 18 is the Venus retrograde period. Don’t make any major decisions about love (and finances) during this cycle. November 8-18, Venus is retrograde in your sign, and you are more cautious with your love and affection.

However, from August 7-September 8, and then from November 8-30, Venus is in your sign. 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. With the possible exception of the retrograde cycle mentioned immediately above, this is a strong period for you for love matters.
