Leo

Leo, you’re so used to being center stage and drawing all the attention to you, but you just don’t feel up for that when Venus is in Cancer. You feel a great need for rest and recuperation after a long while of being social and on the go. No wonder your social batteries are feeling a little low.

You’re feeling really private and secretive about your love life. Perhaps you have met someone you have powerful feelings for, but it just feels a little more exciting keeping him a secret, especially as you figure out where things are going in the relationship.

It could very well be that you like him so much that you feel you want to protect the relationship a bit from the outside world. Whatever the reason is, it is right for you! But knowing what you’re really like, Leo, he’ll be appearing on your social media in no time.

Sometimes it’s good to keep the people you care most about a little protected because relationships change once other people and their opinions get involved. So, enjoy these quiet moments together, because I suspect when Venus enters your sign, things are going to be pretty full on.

Aquarius, you’re not the most practical when it comes to love, instead, you appreciate your relationships for the mental stimulation they bring you. But this month has you expressing your love completely differently, instead of talking about love, you’re more likely to show it.

You might feel overwhelmed by feeling a need to show how much your lover means to you by taking on the role of caretaker. This feels completely foreign to you, but suddenly you’re all about showing your love through cooking meals or helping out around the home. 

You desperately want to feel needed or that you can be of service to your partner. A more nurturing side to your personality wants to come out and play, and somehow you seem to really enjoy doing little things for your partner.
