ARIES
As the Sun spends his first full week in your romantic sector and Saturn his first full week in your relationship sector they each have very different experiences and the impact on your love life couldn't be more different. The Sun's position in your romantic sector and Mercury's until Wednesday has the support of Jupiter, planet of luck, bringing a renewed sense of romantic optimism. Saturn's return to your relationship sector on the other hand is encountering a lot of pressure, with an opposition with Uranus dominating the week. Mars' return to your relationship sector on Friday is likely to increase that pressure, yet despite all that the heavens are working on your behalf, with the possibility of a breakthrough allowing something authentic to develop.
TAURUS
Saturn's departure from your romantic sector last week means that Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion are moving into the new week with the restraints and the challenges of the past behind them. This is creating a flood of romantic passion and confidence, with a real sense that you've turned a corner. With Mars leaving your romantic sector on Friday and Venus at the end of next week, they're both getting things moving for Mercury, who will arrive to take over on Wednesday. It's Thursday that is an auspicious day for all things romantic, for it's the one full day that Venus, Mercury and Mars are working together to get things moving. With heart, mind and passion on the same page, anything is possible. A new and much easier phase has now begun.
GEMINI
Saturn's arrival in your romantic sector last week, 15 weeks to the day since he left, brings things back full circle while at the same time giving anything stalled a major push start. That push start may be a little bumpy, with Saturn under pressure all week, but nothing more than a little cosmic turbulence. It's on Friday that Mars, planet of passion returns to your romantic sector, aligning with Saturn here for the first time in 3 decades. Together this gives you the passion and the determination to move mountains if you have to, kicking off one of the most powerful romantic chapters in decades. Where there's pressure you're likely to find that you're breaking through barriers that in the past would have acted as impenetrable brick walls.
CANCER
The Sun's departure from your sign last week means that there is no more pressure on your relationship sector and with the Moon having spent the majority of the weekend mopping things up, you're emerging with a new sense of what's possible. With some of the most auspicious romantic stars in several years due to begin in 6 weeks from Thursday Venus, planet of love is focused this week on giving your heart a voice and opening the communication lines. With Saturn gone from your communication sector and with Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion here on their own at the start of the week, there's an opportunity for a real breakthrough. With Venus giving your heart a voice and Mars the courage to use it, unsaid words don't stand a chance.
LEO
The new week kicks off with a Full Moon in your relationship sector, putting even more focus onto a week that was already going to be an important relationship week. It's the things that Monday's Full Moon brings to a head that makes Chiron, planet of healing's first full week back in your relationship sector all the more important. It was last Tuesday that the planet of healing returned after a 2 month absence, during which time you had an opportunity to work with Neptune to recapture some of that old magic and some of your old dreams and fantasies. This is the week when reality and fantasy must merge again and what better to bring the two together than a Full Moon. You'll know when you have the balance right because any pressure will drop off.
VIRGO
As Venus, planet of love and romance spends her last full week in your sign, she's experiencing something you haven't seen in 6 ½ years, no planetary activity in your relationship sector. It was Chiron's departure from your relationship sector last Tuesday that created the first void here since December 2003, putting a lot more focus on your romantic situation, which Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion are relishing. This makes the Moon's visit to your relationship sector between Wednesday and Friday so important, for this is the Moon's only visit since 2003 and his last until 2026 when he has your undivided attention. It's then that your intuition will bring you as close to the truth as possible, with a need to listen to your instincts not your head.
LIBRA
Any week that kicks off with a Full Moon in your romantic sector has to be a good one, right? Or maybe it's a case that the heavens are throwing in something special to help balance things out, for the reality is that this is likely to be a fairly challenging relationship week. It was Saturn's return to your sign last week and Mars' return this Friday that while good news for you, puts them both in direct opposition with Uranus in your relationship sector. While relationship pressure will wax and wane throughout August, this week and over the weekend is as bad as it will get, allowing you to see exactly what you're dealing with. Monday's Full Moon gives your heart its bearings and despite the pressure, with luck on your side the seeds are being sown for a breakthrough.
SCORPIO
Move into the new week aware of a need to not only work to establish the right work/life balance, but to ensure that dominant professional forces and life's other stresses and responsibilities don't end up pushing your love life to the curb. For the first time in 6 ½ years you're moving into the new week with no activity in either your romantic or relationship sectors, with the stars leaving responsibility for keeping things in motion up to you. This comes when there's likely to be a lot of work pressures, making it very easy to make your love life the first casualty. To make sure that doesn't happen is the Moon, making his first solo visit to your romantic sector in 6 ½ years and his last for another 16 years between Wednesday and Friday, giving your heart a clear voice.
SAGITTARIUS
Jupiter's retrograde turn in your romantic sector over the weekend and his first full week in retrograde motion is being spent with the planet of luck making his way to ease the romantic pressure that was happening behind his back. It was Saturn's move into Libra last week that put him into direct opposition with Uranus and your romantic sector, but with Jupiter now on his way back to Uranus' side, regardless of any pressure or any roadblocks you're encountering this week, with luck on your side it is more likely to be an opportunity in disguise. Any pressure or roadblocks may get worse before it gets better, especially over the coming week. However, this is likely to see you even more committed to your romantic cause, determined to fight on.
CAPRICORN
The Sun's departure from your relationship sector late last week means that you're moving into the new week without any of the pressure of recent months but with all of the opportunities this has created. It was a solar eclipse in your relationship sector mid month that finally brought things to a head and gave things a push in the right direction, with the time Venus and Mercury have already invested leaving it clear what's real and what isn't. Now it's about maintaining the bottom lines you've already set and keeping things in motion. In the meantime Venus, planet of love has enlisted the aid of Mars, planet of passion in her campaign to see you move out of a romantic rut and seek more romantic adventure or move out of your comfort zone.
AQUARIUS
The Sun's return to your relationship sector on Friday saw him manage to catch up with Mercury, planet of communication before he leaves on Wednesday, with the first few days of the week vital for opening the communication lines. It's a Full Moon in your sign on Monday that puts direct pressure on the Sun at the same time that Mercury is coming under pressure from both Neptune and Chiron. This may create some relationship pressure or see things come to a head in the first few days of the week, but it gives Mercury an opportunity to give things a voice and to open the communication lines. Mercury's departure from your relationship sector on Wednesday will lessen any pressure considerably, but it's then up to you to keep the communication lines open.
PISCES
As we experience our fifth Saturn/Uranus opposition since November 2008, for the first time this doesn't involve your relationships. In fact, rather than your relationships bearing the brunt of any pressure they are the one thing that is likely to be going extremely well this week. It was Saturn's departure from your relationship sector last Thursday that not only brings to an end a very challenging few years, but opens the way for Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion to move into recovery mode. With Mars leaving your relationship sector on Friday and Venus later next week, a new sense of urgency develops. It's Mercury's arrival on Wednesday that not only opens the communication lines but promises to keep them open for the next 2 months. |
