Libra Monthly Love Horoscope

Two steps forward, one step back? Love feels like an awkward dance this month. One minute, you’re ready to rush headlong into romance; the next, you’re feeling overwhelmed at the thought of “answering to” another person. While your feelings are running this hot and cold, it’s wise to avoid making any sudden moves.

While Venus is in YOUR sign from August 6 to September 10, you have a stellar opportunity to follow your romantic muse wherever it leads you. Single Libras will have the X-factor. Your sense of attractiveness and desire reawaken. You might be ready for a total image refresh, and stylish Venus will happily oblige. These outgoing vibes turn you into an unabashed flirt, and your efforts won’t go unappreciated. In a relationship? You’ll be the object of much flattery and attention, and could be tempted to cross a line. Careful, Libra. The point of no return might be much closer than you realize.

You've got charm and magnetism by the boatload, so leave those confusing and halfhearted people in the rearview and move on to better options. Single? Woo interested and available prospects just by being your witty and whimsical self. Coupled Libras will feel their mojo rising, especially since it was probably in a bit of a slump last month. Dress up, go out on the town and revive the romance you've been craving. Since Libra rules social justice and politics, you could opt to work on your bond by volunteering for a campaign or writing letters to voters together instead.

When the Sun shifts into Virgo and your twelfth house of closure and healing on August 22, you may need to usher out some stragglers to make way for real love. Perhaps you haven't entirely recuperated from a loss or heartbreak and need to use the first three weeks of the month to do just that. Or maybe you're just not SURE what you want and need a little more time to weigh the options.

Balancing your emotional needs and everyone else's could bring up some powerful feelings to work through, especially with Mars in emotional Cancer from August 11. Discussing a key exchange or meeting each other's families? Some of your fears could surge up, and you might suddenly feel like you're not ready for this major step.

On August 12, the Leo new moon, a total solar eclipse, could usher in some kindred-spirit connections over the coming two weeks—AND the next six months. But don’t sit around waiting to be invited. That public-facing Leo energy encourages you to be proactive and unabashed about promoting yourself.
