Taurus Monthly Love Horoscope

“Acts of service” is your love language this month, while Venus is in Libra and your helpful sixth house until September 10. Start the fall season by finding ways to “be there” for your love interest, showing your dedication to helping them win in life. By the same token, be sure to keep some boundaries in place. Supporting is lovely; sacrificing is not. 

When Venus slides into Scorpio and your seventh house of commitments from September 10 to October 25, you’ll want a clear idea of where you stand with someone. Gracefully initiate those heart to hearts. Be sure to set the mood so these talks remain creative and inspiring rather than contentious.

Head’s up: Venus will taken an extended stay in your Libra and Scorpio this year, due to a Venus retrograde in these relationship-oriented zodiac signs from October 3 to November 13. The love planet will retrograde through Scorpio from October 3 to 25 and then back into Libra from October 25 to November 13. Venus retrogrades, which last for six weeks, can complicate matters of love, but they’re also a chance to put old stories to bed and to write a fresh chapter for your heart. (We’ll explore this more in your October horoscope, but forewarned is forearmed!)

Meanwhile, Mars is in Cancer and your communicative third house until September 27, making conversations essential to activating hearts. While physical attraction and chemistry are a must for your Venus-ruled sign, you could catch feelings for someone who isn’t usually on your radar, just because they’re so witty and clever. An attraction might bubble up from the friend zone, too. 

Remember to mix in fun whenever you can! The Sun heats Virgo and your playful, passionate fifth house until September 22. You’ve got license to keep the beachy vibes going until the autumn equinox, when Libra season ushers in a more practical energy.
