Have Fun With Love

Jupiter is your ruling planet, the key to your energy flow. On August 6, the slumbering giant awakens from four months of retrograde movement, a period of backwards travel when unfinished issues from the past get in the way of creating your future. But the wait is over, so it's time to get back in the game of relationships with your full portion of enthusiasm. Passionate, but sometimes pushy, Mars hits your partnership house on August 7, which should certainly bring more action to your social life. It can, though, be hard to tell when someone is teasing in a good way or is simply masking anger with humor. Don't make assumptions about what others feel; simply ask directly and you just might get honest answers.

The New Moon in fellow fire sign Leo on August 12 also feeds your itch for adventure, bringing out your playful side. This can be a little much for the faint of heart, so seek out playmates who don't take themselves too seriously. It seems logical to look before taking an emotional leap, but even if you wind up chasing someone who is not all you expected, the exercise can do you good. Just have fun with love instead of letting it become a matter of life and death.

The August 28 Full Moon in super-sensitive Pisces falls in your Fourth House of Home and Security. You could be uncharacteristically reactive to what others say or do. Instead of blowing off their bad behavior, you're more likely to respond in a deeply emotional way.
