Here’s what the love department has in store for you this month, according to your sun sign and/or rising sign:
Aries
Sometimes less is more, dear ram! And as Venus makes its way through Leo starting August 11, you’ll want to remember that you don’t always need to push to make things happen. You don’t want to shut off completely, but keeping your cards close to your chest or being a little less available will bring a sense of mystery to you. While there might be an ulterior motive to your unavailable disposition, you actually will have a ton of personal engagements on your plate when Mars shifts into Gemini on August 20. This change will manifest on the new moon in Virgo, which rises on August 27, so pay attention to the way the chips fall. This new moon will be the perfect cosmic environment to peak your crush’s interest through social media posts, especially if you’re looking super cute while having fun with your pals. Just be mindful that your coy game of hard-to-get doesn’t go too far. If you truly do share a romantic interest with someone, it won’t serve you to totally blow them off (but it also won’t hurt for them to realize you have a vibrant life outside of your dating status).
Taurus
You’ll likely feel unsure about the future in the beginning of the month. Although you’re not wanting to commit during the Aquarius Full moon on August 11, the same day Venus glides into Leo.
