Love Horoscope for the Week of September 3

If last week’s tides washed you ashore the land of Nod, this week it’s time to wakey-wakey.

Pretend you’re on a freeway called ‘Relationship Rue.’ Rue is French for road, though its English spelling gives you a hint that all is not well in Loveland. Expect a detour. As love goddess Venus makes a jarring angle with status-quo Saturn, you may fear there’s not enough time, not enough money, or you may protest: But that’s the way we’ve always done it.

Welcome to today. It’s different. You’ve already learned that nothing is as impermanent as permanence. Not your favored way of doing things, not your best friend, not your lover, your boss, your salary, your perky tatas … Nada. Don’t take it personally; there’s no cosmic agenda to single you out.

If there’s someone or something to which you’ve become so attached you’ve lost a balanced perspective, that’s gotta shift. Detour time. Try loosening your grip so that a little oxygen (aka perspective) can refresh the space. Straining to maintain the shape of what’s already morphing will drain you of your joy.

And that’s just a crying shame, seeing as Venus is poised to move into that most effervescent sign, Leo, on Thursday. If you adopt a new approach, you’re bound to discover a deeper source of power within you—one that feels alluring and stable.

Just take those left turns easy. This is no rapid joyride; it’s a cautious commute through traffic. As always, you get to decide whether to work yourself into a snarl, or whether to trust that this detour is a saving grace.
