\"VenusSummer is the time of year when we peel away those winter layers and take some time to relax and have some fun. When it comes to getting all gussied up and pouring on the flirtation with the express purpose to entice the one you adore, Venus<\/a> is the planet that hands you the tools to achieve your mission. As the Goddess of Beauty and Love sashays through Leo<\/a> from July 28 to August 21, she\u2019ll grace you with the confidence of royalty<\/strong>, as well as a date who won\u2019t be able to peel his or her eyes off you. Venus\u2019 annual trip through Leo is packed with the exuberant and intoxicating stuff that summer romances are made of, and you just might find yourself getting caught up in one of your own during this time.<\/p>\n

One of the first stops Venus makes in her trip through Leo is a trine to Uranus<\/strong> in Aries on July 31. At this time, you may find yourself going on a date with someone who isn\u2019t your usual type or who you never thought would ask you out. The two of you may go somewhere you\u2019ve never been before or do something on your date that is different, crazy, exciting and new. Your intentions (and his or hers as well) at this time might be to just enjoy the rush while it lasts, while one eye scans the horizon for the next person to date. In any event, a date at this time promises to be the invigorating start of something new. Should this develop into a love relationship, you will likely give each other plenty of breathing room and the freedom to express your unique selves. <\/p>\n

Venus\u2019 next major stop is a sextile to Saturn<\/strong> in Libra on August 7. Should you find yourself on a date around this day, you just might be sitting beside the one who can give you a love that is real and enduring. Something this person does or says could show you he or she is someone you can rely on to be there for the long haul. You might find yourself thinking seriously about your willingness to take the romance to the commitment level at this time, and engaging in hypothetical talk about the qualities you are looking for in a life partner. Relationships can achieve a degree of stability under this planetary influence and show signs that both parties can tend to the practicalities of daily life. There\u2019ll be a sense that you can smooth out differences and overcome any obstacles together.<\/p>\n

On August 16, Venus meets up with the Sun and Mercury retrograde<\/strong>, marking a time when there can be a lot of complimenting, ego-stroking, and affectionate talk from a romantic partner to get your attention or win your heart. This is the aspect that breeds love letters (or text and emails), beautiful poetry, and hand-holding or slow dancing to love songs as a way to express those three little words you\u2019ve been waiting to hear. This is also a time when the person you are dating may take you on that pleasure trip they have been promising to take you on for weeks. You could also receive a gift of the heart from him or her that expresses his or her budding feelings for you.<\/p>\n

And finally, Venus opposes Neptune<\/strong> in Aquarius on August 21, her last day in the sign of Leo. At this time you are likely to find yourself engulfed in a romantic haze where you are caught up in the beauty and magic of your dating experience and can\u2019t help but wonder if the person before you is indeed the person of your dreams. You may ask yourself questions like: Is this person\u2019s sensitivity toward me and devotion to this relationship for real, or am I only projecting that image onto him or her? Will it always be this way between us or will I end up disappointed like I was other times in the past, when the blinders finally fell and the dream faded with the morning light? Can this love affair roll with the punches and endure the transition into hard reality? You might want to answer all of them in the affirmative, but it would be best to wait and see what Venus\u2019 transit through Virgo will bring.<\/p>\n
