Love & dating: what to do (and what to avoid)

Venus in ♒ Aquarius can be amazing for dating. But it asks for maturity.

Do this

• Lead with friendship. Plan low-pressure dates: coffee, a museum, a class, a group hang.
• Say what you mean. Clear words are attractive under ♒ energy.
• Try something new. Different venues, different types, different pacing.
• Keep your standards simple. Respect, consistency, curiosity.

Avoid this

• Chasing someone who only shows up when it’s convenient
• Testing people to “see if they care”
• Oversharing too fast to create instant closeness
• Ghosting instead of ending things cleanly
