This week, Mars, the planet of passion, enters emotional Cancer and a solar eclipse takes place in Leo, the astrological sign that rules love and romance, so it's a big week for love and romance.
Solar eclipses begin with an ending of something, but always lead to new beginnings. If you are single, this is a great time to meet someone new, as almost everyone is focused on love and fun this week. However, if you meet anyone on August 10, take what they say with a grain of salt until you really get to know them because things may not turn out the way you think since Venus opposes Neptune on Monday. Luckily, this New Moon eclipse on Wednesday trines Saturn, which helps keep our feet planted firmly on the ground even as Mars in Cancer sweeps us up in passion. Mercury and Uranus connect in a way that opens our eyes to new possibilities, ways of thinking, or even the way we view certain people.

This week was made for love, Aries. Not only are Jupiter, the Sun, and Mercury all in your fifth house of love and romance, but the eclipse on August 12 falls there as well.
Don’t let confusion or lack of clarity ruin your day on Monday with Venus’s opposition to Neptune. If you don’t understand something, just ask for clarification. You'll get it.
Taurus

The solar eclipse falls in your fourth house of home on Wednesday, creating a square to your Sun. This often relates to difficulties or conflict that could potentially occur with someone in your household.
Be prepared for things to get a little intense around midweek, Taurus. Tuesday’s Mercury-Pluto opposition won’t help, because this energy makes it very easy to fly off the handle over even the most minor inconvenience. The best thing you can do this week is just stay calm.
Gemini

You already have three planets in your third house of communication, and this week, they are joined by the solar eclipse on the 12th. So communication is even more significant than usual for you this week, Gemini.
On August 10, Venus trines Pluto from your fifth house of love. This makes Monday a beautiful day to spend with a love interest if you have one. If you don’t have a partner, the energy is right for meeting someone new in or around your neighborhood or local area.
Cancer

The eclipse on August 12 is connected to your personal feelings of self-worth and values. Mars entering your sign may heighten your emotions, Cancer, but it also energizes you and makes you feel bolder.
Between August 12 and 15, you have some very positive days to look forward to. If there have been any relationship issues, this is a week when they can finally be cleared up.
Leo

Leo, the spotlight is on you during the Leo eclipse on Wednesday. Not to mention this is your official birthday New Moon. Even though this happens every year, it is not usually an eclipse. So this year is supercharged.
This is a good week to express your feelings. One thing to be aware of is that Mars enters Cancer, or your 12th house of the subconscious, on Tuesday, which can lead to emotional fatigue if you don’t pace yourself.
Virgo

The eclipse on August 12 falls into your 12th house, which rules seclusion and secrets. Sometimes this equates to a sort of self-undoing, Virgo.
Watch your health at this time and don't be surprised if you feel like spending more time alone or in seclusion this week. This eclipse may bring up buried anxieties or old baggage, but an eclipse is a perfect time to release any of that negative thinking that can derail a relationship.
Libra

Venus enters your first house this week, Libra, where it will remain until September 10. This only happens once a year. Whenever Venus is in your zodiac sign, it is a period of looking and feeling better than normal. Others are drawn to you.
This year, Venus opposes Neptune on August 10, which can make for a confusing or discouraging day. But other than Monday, you're good for the rest of the week. In fact, Wednesday's eclipse falls in your house of hopes and wishes, so focus on the things you really want.
Scorpio

Get ready for an intense week because of the solar eclipse in Leo. If you have been putting up with something that isn’t working, you may choose to end it this week.
Thankfully, Mars entering Cancer is positive for you as it is a highly compatible sign. You may feel more protective of a love interest as well as your own heart. Single Scorpios, keep an eye out because the energy is right for you to meet someone who either lives in a different city or state or while you're visiting a new place.
Sagittarius

You have a stellium of planets, including Jupiter, the Sun, and Mercury in your ninth house of expansion this week. Paired with the powerful solar eclipse in the same spot on the 12th, this would be a fantastic week to take a trip with someone or travel to meet a love interest.
These placements also cause you to take a deeper interest in your partner’s philosophical views of life. You may want someone whose viewpoints jive with your own. Overall, this is a great week for new adventures and fun, Sagittarius!
Capricorn

Mars has entered Cancer, which is your opposite sign and your house of partners. While this may embolden and energize your desire for a relationship, Capricorn, it can also create tension and arguments.
Since the solar eclipse on August 12 falls in your eighth house, if a relationship has been difficult, it may end. But that doesn't necessarily mean the relationship is over completely. This energy often acts as a reset, meaning there's a good chance you get to start fresh in this relationship.
Aquarius

You have a stellium of planets in Leo, your seventh house of partners, this week. Since the solar eclipse falls here on August 12, as well, this could act as a fated beginning of a relationship.
That said, it could also act as a fated ending or reset of a relationship depending on the connection. It helps that Venus is in Libra now, which is highly compatible with you and favorable for romance, Aquarius.
Pisces

Pisces, your love life is entering a new era with Mars entering your fifth house of love. If you are single, something tells me you won't be for much longer!
Wednesday's solar eclipse in Leo may be a little intense for you. Nevertheless, you will have your mind on romance. With Venus’s opposition to Neptune this week, it will be important to stay level-headed and keep your feet on the ground.
