Love gets this much sweeter with Venus in Libra

Coupled? Make your partner a priority—but not in a way that feels parental or codependent. All those “acts of service” from the Venus in Virgo transit may have knocked you off the romantic balance beam. Adopt a love language of co-creation. Make decisions together. Find ways to blend your talents so that you both contribute equally.

Make this your second, third—or fifteenth!—honeymoon phase. Push past resistance and stop keeping score. Romantic energy is contagious now—at least with the right people. The extra effort you make to tune in to your love interest can get stalled engines turning.

Single? Take your time getting to know your coffee dates and allow yourself to bask in the slow-jam buildup of a new attraction. Libra weighs all options, which makes this a great window of time to date multiple people and see what qualities each amplifies in you.

In a situationship? These may evolve into exclusive relationships over the coming few weeks. With Venus in gentle Libra, slow and steady devotion wins the race. Dial down pressure, dial up sweet gestures and charm.

Venus in Libra weakens knees and (be careful!) willpower

Beauty queen Venus dons a homecoming tiara when she struts through Libra’s native soil. Because this is homebase for the love planet, she operates here at her fullest strength. Willpower, however, may be at its weakest. Good luck controlling yourself in the face of temptation—the one thing Libra Oscar Wilde could not resist!

That goes for retail therapy treasures, too. Venus in beauty-loving Libra makes us suckers for life’s finer things, like hand-loomed textiles, haute cuisine and anything deemed high-end. Stay aware of your spending or your bank balance could trend in the wrong direction. That said, when Venus makes a luxe landfall in Libra, it is time to elevate, luxuriate and decorate.

Virgo (August 22-September 22) Venus in Libra horoscope

Fiscal restraint is a good thing, but on August 29, when luxury-loving Venus lopes into Libra and your material-minded second house until September 22, the urge to splurge may prove irresistible. An unrestrained retail-therapy spree isn’t recommended, however.

For starters, there’s the matter of the credit card bill. For another thing, the minute you cut the tags off your new treasures, they’ll lose some of their shimmer. (That’s just how brain chemistry works). So make a deal with yourself, o’ analytical one. Home in on a few objects that make your heart sing every time you see them. Research prices and find THE best deal. Set a budget…and over the coming four weeks, let yourself indulge! Just make sure things are as practical as they are beautiful.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Venus in Libra horoscope

Your radiance becomes spellbinding starting August 29 as your galactic guardian, Venus, lopes into Libra until September 22.

Single Libras: Be proactive in your search for love, but don’t let anyone tamp down your individual spirit. Attached? Add more romantic surprises into the mix, perhaps some wardrobe and lingerie updates.

Scorpio (October 22-November 21) Venus in Libra horoscope

Life might get a little surreal over the next few weeks with dreamy Venus drifting into Libra and sprinkling her special blend of pixie dust in your twelfth house of escape.

When it comes to creative and spiritual pursuits, you’ll be in constant communication with the muse.

Romantically, Venus could sweep you into a fairy-tale mindset. Turn inward and listen to your intuition. If that’s not forthcoming, however, don’t don the rose-colored glasses.
