With the Sun in your 9th House of Voyages until August 23, people from different cultures can be more attractive than usual, while photos of foreign lands awaken your romantic impulses. However, there is an intense period of days in the beginning of August that could bring out the extreme sides of your personality. Your ruling planet Jupiter forms a stressful 90-degree square with potent Pluto on August 3, and then aggressive Mars makes tense aspects to both of them the following day. Feelings grow profoundly intense now, which is both useful (when you realize where major changes are needed) and dangerous (if you're poisoned with rage or imprisoned with guilt). On August 9 the New Moon in heartfelt Leo can help you brush away the cobwebs of the past to boldly move forward and create a future filled with love.
