Love Horoscope for the Week of August 29


weeklyloveThe week begins with Mercury conjunct Venus, followed shortly by Venus entering Libra (which is one of the two signs that Venus rules). As Mondays go, this is going to be one where diplomacy and communicating your needs will be easier than usual. In terms of love and romance, Venus in Libra may not be the miracle cure for all your complaints, but it is likely to make the circumstances you are working with at least a little better over the next few weeks. Venus in Virgo tried hard and did all her homework, but didn’t have the same knack for relationships that she does in Libra.

On Tuesday, Mercury turns retrograde and stays that way until September 21st/22nd. As per usual, this is my big opportunity to warn you all that Mercury retrograde is not as dreadful and fearful as you might have come to believe. On the other hand, it’s still a time when your communications and short trips and contractual agreements are more likely than usual to go astray, so — as always — be cautious with your proofreading, map reading, and deal making.

The big astrological news for the week is Thursday’s solar eclipse in Virgo. If you find eclipses a little scary, this one will provide more reasons than usual to panic, since it takes place at 9 degrees Virgo — closely opposite Neptune and square Saturn. If you have any major placements near 9 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) then yes, this eclipse could spell some trouble in the weeks ahead. On the other hand, you’ve already had Saturn and Neptune messing with that degree, so perhaps there’s no additional reason to fret over it. Mostly though: what this means is that Wednesday and Thursday are likely to be a little more tense than usual for all concerned. This too shall pass. On the bright side, I’ve always found that making affirmations on a New Moon tend to work better than usual, and this is a powerful New Moon for getting results.

Your dating situation for the weekend is generally favorable. Venus in Libra is part of that picture, but a couple of Very Special Things happen on Friday and Saturday that might kick your love life up a notch. In the late afternoon/early evening Friday, while the Moon is still in late Virgo, it conjuncts and occults Jupiter, which should bring an extra note of good cheer to your Friday. Finally: if you have a date late on Friday night and manage to make it stretch into the wee hours of Saturday morning, the Moon will be conjunct Venus in Libra. As astrological symbolism goes, it’s hard to imagine anything that is a stronger indication of good love and emotional well-being.
