Leo Monthly Love Horoscope

Swipe and ye shall find? Your clickthrough rate on the apps peaks as passionate Mars ends six weeks logged into Gemini and your tech-savvy, futuristic eleventh house, on August 11. This sapiosexual cycle can attract single Leos to someone’s beautiful mind. Who knew an all-night conversation could get you that hot and bothered? During this electrifying Venus cycle, you might be experimenting with new toys, pleasure-intensifying breathwork, and anything that charges up your life force energy.

It doesn’t hurt that seductive Venus is in Virgo and your sensual second house until August 6. This cycle that began in July has slowed your pace and invited you to be powerfully present for every encounter. Even if you can envision ecstasy-ever-after, what’s the rush, really? Trade those dopamine hits of future-tripping for the rush of oxytocin, endorphins and serotonin that come from the present.

When Venus moves into Libra on August 6, you’ll arrive at a more empowered (and balanced) place in your relationships. On August 12, the total solar eclipse in your sign offers a fresh start that’s all about you and your desires. What do you want your love life to look like six months from now? This new moon sets into motion a supercharged growth cycle that continues until the Leo full moon on January 22, 2027. 

On August 11, Mars moves into nostalgic Cancer and your nebulous twelfth house. Rather than RSVP-ing to a get together at your in-laws, you’ll prefer time behind closed (bedroom) doors. Be mindful about your personal boundary limitations within your relationship. Support the one(s) you love, but make sure you fill your own tanks, too. Resentment can be a silent relationship killer if you let bottled-up emotions poison the well. 

A sensual awakening arrives on August 28 when the Pisces full moon, a lunar eclipse, activates your erotic eighth house. This could bring a soulmate connection out of the blue. Or, if you’ve gone as far as you can together, this eclipse could bring an ending or an unavoidable conversation about how a relationship needs to evolve.
