Cancer Monthly Love Horoscope

Can we talk about it? Virtually no subject is off limits for you as Venus sweetens the pot in Virgo and your third house of communication until August 6. More than anything, the curious energy you’ll feel could be used to discover more about your “person of interest.” Bantering will be fun, but don’t get stuck in superficial small talk. The added bonus? You’ll find out where a prospective or current partner stands on issues that are important to you—and if need be, how to navigate those values that don’t align. You might even approach your long-term love with what the Buddhists call beginner’s mind, treating them with the same open-ended inquisitiveness you’d offer an intriguing stranger.

The other half of the love equation is Mars, which is lounging in Gemini and your introspective twelfth house until August 11. Silence hasn’t merely been comfortable since Mars entered Gemini in June, it’s been charged with erotic energy. See what happens if you enjoy a little parallel play with your partner. One minute you’re reading side by side, the next, you’re ravaging each other like sexy beasts.

For Cancers healing from a loss or breakup, Mars in this conclusive corner can expedite your grieving and heal your heart by bravely facing any painful emotions. When Venus enters Libra and your domestic fourth house on August 6, you’ll likely feel the call to convene with your inner circle. The way out of any anguish is to go through it with loving support.

Ready for a fun connection? The year’s only Leo new moon, a total solar eclipse, adds its motivating beams to your social third house on August 12. Over the next two weeks, prioritize activities that benefit a worthwhile cause or help you get more culturally immersed. Bounce around ideas with a kindred spirit. If you feel a synergistic spark, explore! But keep it light and experimental for now. You never know if you truly click on all the important levels until you test your chemistry. 

On August 11, motivated Mars reports for duty in your sign! Expect a surge of inspiration and energy. You might crave more freedom to do your own thing. If the urge to overhaul your life takes over, remember that Mars can be impulsive. Pace yourself! The call to date and mate is dialed up while Mars is here, until the end of September. You’re not looking for a casual fling; you’ve got serious couple goals on your mind. Along with the Leo eclipse on August 12, you can plant seeds of intention. Is it time to get back on the dating apps? Consider this your opportunity to get real about your needs. Make sure that flirty new friend can actually walk their talk!
