In your love life, a change in scenery can also help (perhaps a vacation with your lover, or something as simple as having dinner someplace new) and you’re in the mood to experiment, craving novelty and excitement! On August 28, Venus opposes Saturn: With the new clarity you have about your desires and expectations, you’re raising standards in all your relationships, and setting firm boundaries.
