Libra Monthly Love Horoscope

Keep it light! With both of the love planets, Venus and Mars, spending most of June in Leo and your eleventh house of friendship, there’s nothing more appealing than a bestie with benefits. Passionate Mars has been in Leo since May 20 and will remain here until July 10. You could feel sexy sparks with someone you never thought of “that way.” Since the eleventh house rules technology, online connections could also heat up.

On June 5, Venus joins Mars in Leo and sprinkles even more fairy dust on your social sector. This will lighten things up even more and allow you to enjoy friends and activities without feeling the need to advance your agenda or stress about the future. For couples, it’s a great time to hang out with friends, hit up festivals and outdoor concerts, or maybe host a barbecue. This transit reminds us how much fun it is to simply laugh and enjoy life together.

Venus will stay in Leo for an extended visit, sticking around until October 8. But it’s not all sweetness and light. From July 22 to September 3, Venus will be retrograde, a tricky cycle that happens every 18 months and can test even the strongest ties. 

Upon entering Leo on June 5, Venus will immediately oppose shadowy Pluto in your dramatic fifth house, which could bring up some buried resentment, power plays or diva antics. This could be a sneak preview of some of the issues you could deal with during Venus retrograde. But fear not: This Venus-Pluto opposition will wane after a couple days. 

The other day to watch is June 26, when Mars and Uranus lock into a heated square. A rare flash of jealousy and control could crop up out of the blue. If it’s not you getting snatched up by the green-eyed monster, you could be caught off-guard by someone else’s suspicious accusations. Do your best to diffuse these feelings and gather the facts rather than react.
