Aquarius Monthly Love Horoscope

Erotic exploration? The Sun is in Virgo, your eighth house of sexuality and intensity until September 10, firing up your libido and stoking your urge to merge. Coupled Aquarians might crave more alone time with a partner while singles could meet someone with forever-after potential. With Venus in relationship-driven Libra and your expansive ninth house (from September 10 on), the future feels closer together than ever. So, which direction are you both headed in?

Be clear and assert your needs and values into the mix. Don’t worry about killing the vibe. There’s nothing sexier than someone who is value-forward. With bold Mars here until September 27, you'll gain clarity on how you truly feel, cutting ties with any lingering people-pleasing habits or relationships that no longer fit.

On September 10, Venus shifts into Scorpio and your tenth house of long-term plans and responsibility. No more sweating the small stuff or living from moment to moment. This is an excellent Venus cycle to dive deeper into what you both want for the long haul, checking that you're on the same page with things like family, career goals and where you want to live. Solo? You may find yourself attracted to someone older, more established or from work. Since the tenth house rules career, an office romance could heat up or you could meet someone through an industry event.

With the Sun soaring into Libra and your ninth house of travel, expansion and adventure for a month on September 22, your tunnel vision widens. When you can see the big picture, you’re able to focus on the relationships with real potential and invest your time wisely.
