Weekly love horoscopes are here for August 11 – 17, 2025, which just happens to be one of the best weeks of the year for relationships, no matter your zodiac sign. The positive starts on the very first day of the week as Mercury finally turns direct on August 11 in Leo, the sign that rules love. During this Mercury retrograde, perhaps you have reconnected with someone from your past or begun dating someone new. Mercury retrograde, especially in the sign of Leo, is a wildcard for love, and we will now see how all of these situations actually play out. I don’t typically recommend starting new relationships during a retrograde, but people meet when they meet! Many scenarios can occur now — perhaps for those born with retrograde Mercury, it will work out beautifully (and maybe even if you weren’t born during a retrograde). Typically, however, once the Mercury retrograde energy clears up, something changes or you begin to see a different side of the person, or the relationship suddenly just ends. Sometimes this person then shows up every time there is a retrograde. Time will tell how everything plays out!

Venus also conjuncts Jupiter this week, which is very powerful from Sunday night into early Tuesday morning. This is a positive transit for love, personal expression, and social gatherings. It is a great time for meeting new people or spending time with someone special. August 14 is a great day for communication, socializing, and conversation in general. This energy will repeat itself on August 17 since both Mars and Mercury move a few degrees at the same time. Let’s take a look at how the zodiac signs will fare in love and relationships this week.
