Get ready, because your love horoscope for the week of August 15 to 21 proves that things are about to get spicy! You’re coming away from a heavy full moon in Aquarius that took place last week, a lunar event that showed you what is and isn’t working in your love life. Relationships take work, and this week, you’re about to see some of the results of your efforts.

In fact, if you’re keeping an open mind (and an open heart), you might find yourself crushing on someone when you least expect it. On August 16, chatty Mercury will form a trine with Uranus—planet of sudden insight—which will not only lead to intriguing conversations with unexpected people, but feelings that strike you without notice. If you’re single and looking to mingle, now’s the time to go out and put away your phone! How else will a cutie be able to introduce themselves to you if your eyes are glued to your screen? On August 19, romantic Venus will form a trine with expansive Jupiter, which sets the tone for romance and play, expanding the generous agenda of  Venus in remarkable ways. Sparks are flying, so give in to the magic!

Ready to take a risk in love? Do it! Action is encouraged as Mars—planet of drive and ambition— enters Gemini on August 20. This is a particularly significant shift in energy and libido because Mars will spend an unusually long stretch of time here, thanks to an upcoming retrograde this fall. We could initially experience Mars in Gemini as an increase in logic regarding what we’re enticed by. If a love interest can’t keep up with our mental acrobatics, we may lose interest. There is also a duality connected to what—or whom—you find attractive. This should prove interesting in the coming months! Mercury opposes dreamy and disorienting Neptune on August 21, making it a notable day for communication about anything—including matters of the heart. Be aware of your limitations. If you’re not ready to trust someone, don’t feel pressured to!

Cancer

You might be growing weary of keeping up a busy social life and meeting never-ending commitments with friends or even a lover.

Romantic goals might have been confused, particularly if you’ve spent too much time doing what other people thought you should do. It’s time to start listening to yourself again! The journey may feel quiet and even lonely at times, but it should be absolutely worth it. Walking on your own is a great way to find yourself and eventually, the perfect love.

Virgo

Some romantic struggles are possible for you at the moment, despite the cosmic bounty you may see other signs experiencing. Trickster Mercury is scampering through your sign and, on Sunday, will make an exact opposition to nebulous Neptune, presently in your partnership sector. You and your love interest might get caught up in a confusing conversation. One of you could even be lying about something to the other. Look out for a nagging feeling that something isn’t quite right! Single Virgos may end up too focused on someone they can’t have. Fantasy is okay to some extent, but try to keep your feet on the ground.

You and your partner are probably going to feel like you’ve won a cosmic jackpot in life, love, and maybe even money. If single, this could bring a lucky change to your love life. Be ready! Mars enters your 9th House of Expansion on Saturday, inviting motivation for you to grow with a potential partner in intellectual or spiritual ways. It’s a whole new world!

Scorpio

Sometimes, love is a battlefield. You might now start to feel as if you’re entering a phase where you need to put on your suit of armor and prepare for an extended fight with the person you love the most. Ask yourself what could be happening between you and your other half that is bringing on any intense feelings of resentment, suspicion, or anger. Before you go on the defense, examine your motivation. It’s possible that, while your emotions are understandable, they’ve been set off by something that’s actually pretty minor. Singles aren’t off the hook either—this might be the kind of week in which you assume everyone is out to get you, and because of that, you turn away romantic potential.

Pisces

No matter how much you want things to make sense in your love life, clarity may elude you this week. Mercury is currently skipping through your partnership sector and will trip over Neptune on Sunday for a harsh opposition. This energy colors the rest of the week, making you feel like you’re getting mixed signals from the person you’re with, or worry that you’re entirely fooling yourself. If you are making excuses instead of making sense, then you’ll know that there’s something not quite right in your love life or your thoughts about love. A lie you tell yourself might be the worst lie of them all.
