Your Weekly Horoscope Will Fill Your Heart With Passion & Intensity, Thanks To Venus In Scorpio

Are you ready to rev the engine? Are you in the mood to embrace the fire of passion? Whether you're ready or not, the cosmos are unleashing something savage and untamed, and it's going to inspire you to live your life to the fullest. Your September 3, 2018, weekly horoscope is no joke, and if you're feeling stagnant, it will shoot you straight into the stratosphere.

As of Sept. 9, Venus — planet of love, romance, prosperity, and luxury — enters luscious, sexy, and mysterious Scorpio. Of all the signs in the zodiac, Scorpio is the most tantalizing of them all. It's the bad boy you can't stop dreaming about, no matter how much you know they're not good for you. It's the hot vampire you'd gladly present your neck to, eager to have them sink their sharp teeth through your skin. All darkness aside, Scorpio is driven, intense, strategic, and deeply passionate. Prepare for your love life to enter a period of addicting excitement.

If news of bloodthirsty Scorpio has got you on the edge of your seat, don't worry, because Mercury — planet of communication, logic, and cognitive function — enters Virgo on Sept. 5. This mutable earth sign is famous for its genius analytical skills and penchant for organization. If your emotions are running wild, the cosmos are prepared to help you focus.

The week wraps up with a productive and encouraging new moon in Virgo, giving you a chance to let go of your mistakes, forgive yourself for your laziness, and create a plan to chase after your goals with discipline and commitment. It sure helps that Saturn — planet of hard work and limitations — will also begin moving direct on Sept. 6, giving you that much more freedom and motivation.

Now that the summer season is almost over, it's time to gather your brilliant ideas, think practically, and get back to work. Allow the influence of Virgo, which is swirling all around you, to guide you every step of the way.
