4 Zodiacs Starting A New Love Chapter On August 28

TAURUS

Taurus, your new love chapter is one of reflection. People think love is all about interacting with someone, constant conversation, a never-ending slew of dates, but in reality, the maxim “distance makes the heart grow fonder” always applies. A crush is nurtured by the hours spent thinking of that person late at night when you can’t sleep, first thing in the morning brushing your teeth, staring out the window of a car, a train, a bus, the quiet moments where you allow yourself to ask any and every question. What did they look like as a child? What’s their favorite food? Where is their most oddly placed freckle? Do they snore? When was the last time they cried? Love is born in the fantasizing and the curiosity and the interest that drives us to action. This chapter you’re beginning is all about that natural progression from noticing someone to developing clearer intentions. That time you spend alone will be sure to reveal your underlying feelings. 

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, your new love chapter is about stepping it up and really demonstrating to your partner how important they are to you. It’s about putting effort into every area of the relationship—making time for conversation, planning dates and new experiences, doing all the little mundane tasks that help make your partner’s day easier, whether that’s buying toilet paper or packing them a lunch. The relationship has progressed past ‘casual’ long ago, and with this all-in mentality, you are making a symbolic declaration that you’ve left fear and insecurity behind, that you are giving everything you have to this relationship, whether it fails or lasts a lifetime, and that kind of commitment and dedication are impossible to miss. How your partner responds to these well-intentioned signs of your devotion will speak volumes to the future that awaits you both. As much as your sign is depicted continuously pouring out from within, that doesn’t mean you’re not looking for reciprocation. 

CANCER

Cancer, your new love chapter is all about coasting. You’re due for some lazy-river kind of love. It’s not about complacency or phoning it in or doing the bare minimum; it’s about something that now comes as second nature, something you don’t need instructions for, a recipe without any measurements. You have picked up on all of each other’s mood swings and bad habits. You never get hangry anymore because the two of you know how to restore equilibrium with the perfect meal before anything ever gets past a seven. You just know how to be in each other’s presence without having to try too hard—or on a bad day, try at all. Everything you do, you do as a team, and everyone pulls as much weight as they can on any given day, but the majority of what makes the two of you a couple is just so easy these days. Like scrambling eggs. A simple task that produces stellar results every time.

SCORPIO

Scorpio, your new love chapter is not the most pleasant, but nonetheless crucial. You’re going through a stage of remorse and repentance. Certain coincidences are reminding you of relationships or non-relationships past. People who you’ve encountered, choices you’ve made, reactions you’ve had that you wish you could go back and change. Try not to get caught in the shame spiral and instead ask yourself why you did what you did back then and what taught you to approach the same circumstance differently moving forward. Have compassion for your younger, less mature self, and remember that many of these experiences were necessary lessons in your growth journey. The observations you’re making now are less about regret and more about identifying the control you have over your own actions. You can change the outcome, you can set the tone, you can lay the groundwork for the kind of relationship you truly want. It’s all a question of holding yourself to a new standard.
