Aquarius Monthly Love Horoscope

Relief is just around the corner, Aquarius. For much of the summer, you’ve weathered some relationship rocky patches and curveballs in your personal life. Venus, the planet of love and harmony, has been in choppy retrograde since July 22. Worse, it’s been reversing through Leo and your seventh house of one-on-one relationships. While a few Water Bearers may have happily reunited with a long-lost love, Venus retrograde was more likely to spotlight the sore spots between you and your favorite people. Perhaps you were fighting more than normal, couldn't align on your level(s) of commitment or you were just consumed with work that cut into couple time. 

You may have a better sense of your personal love landscape starting September 3, when Venus moves direct (forward), clearing up the chaos. Now, it’s time to move past any issues that rose to the surface over the past six weeks. Hopefully, you used Venus retrograde constructively, and hashed them out. Once Venus corrects course, it will remain in Leo and your partnership house until October 8, giving you a golden month for companionship or meeting a prospect with long-term potential.

Romance may speak another dialect besides just the “language of love” this month, Aquarius! With love planet Mars soaring through Libra and your ninth house of travel and expansion, colorful destinations and high adventure are calling your name. If you’re single, this is a great time to book a solo trip that widens your cultural horizons and leaves you plenty of free time to meet fascinating locals. 

Closer to home, you could be attracted to someone from a different background or who might invite you on a far-flung trip. Couples with the ability to travel together now can rekindle the romantic sparks simply by being out of your usual environment. Can’t get away? Sign up for a mind-expanding workshop or course together. And all Water Bearers will enjoy planning their holiday travel under these wing-spreading skies.

This is also your “truth-telling” corner, and Mars here can make you outspoken and opinionated. Be careful not to come off as a know-it-all or to “coach” your partner—especially if they haven’t asked for help. Playing the proverbial field? You could catch an acute case of grass-is-greener syndrome and have a hard time making up your mind about who to choose. Too much of a good thing? May the best contender win!
