The weather outside may be dull and grey, but your love life could be set to heat up this summer.
For some, that may mean a newly-invigorated passion for a partner, while others could see temperatures rise after having their head turned by a tempting prospect.
Certain star signs are predicted to be less fortunate where romance is concerned, but could gain a lot from practicising a little self-love instead.
Ahead, you’ll find your star sign’s tarot love horoscope for summer 2024, with three tarot cards drawn for each sign and their meaning for you explained.
Aries

Someone from the past is due to make a comeback this summer, possibly a Water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio). They are someone you once loved deeply, but if you’re happy with your current partner, then don’t worry, this could be a close friend or long-lost cousin!
The Ten of Wands asks you to stop forcing, pushing, trying too hard to make your love life into something which is a constant source of entertainment and high octane passion. You can’t get everything you need from one person, you need to put less on your partner or object of affection, and more on your friends or hobbies or family. Spread out your needs and activities.
The Knight of Coins sees you settling down into a much better pattern and rhythm this summer, feeling loved and appreciated, but also free and independent. There’s a sense of ‘less is more’, quality vs quantity. This is the key to a happy love life.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Summer love tarot cards for Taurus: Five of Wands, Two of Cups, Six of Wands
Meaning: A summer of love
What starts as a row, conflict, stressful situation or chaotic episode turns out to be a true romance story! The Five of Wands sees you falling out, getting into bother, feeling unappreciated.
Don’t discount people on first impressions, don’t quit on someone too soon. Because the love follows the pain, very swiftly in fact, and maybe as a result of it. Hardship can bind us together, reveal a side of us we don’t normally let others see. It could be that you meet someone unexpectedly as you’re dealing with something troubling. So keep that radar primed.
The Two of Cups and Six of Wands combine to bring you a real summer of love. A true partnership and mutually adoring alliance. Someone who ‘gets’ you and helps you live life to the max. This is going to be a very successful relationship. Fire signs look positive – Leo, Aries, Sagittarius.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Summer love tarot cards for Gemini: Ace of Wands, Seven of Cups, Knight of Swords
Meaning: Activate what you wish for
With a little bit of elbowing and force, you are going to manifest a wonderful new relationship, or era of an existing one, and it all comes from your powerful imagination!
Look out for a strong, spiky, clever, ambitious Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), if you’re single as the Knight of Swords sweeps in. He could also be the side of you in play here – assertive, go-getting, can-do! Why let fate decide your love life future? No thanks. Time to step up and step in. The Seven of Cups is your visualisation ands daydreams coming to life. You truly want to make your fantasies a reality and you can!
The Ace of Wands sees a journey, class, creative proposal, or lifestyle activity (gym, new coffee stop etc) sparking a meeting with someone new, or being the new habit that helps you and your partner rekindle what you yearn for… adventure and fun! It’s all there waiting for you to activate it.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Summer love tarot cards for Cancer: Two of Coins, Six of Wands, Ten of Coins
Meaning: Heading the right way
Security is the bedrock and driver of all Cancerian relationship dynamics, at the end of the day (or night). The Ten of Coins sees you coming very close to that happy-ever-after you seek this summer. How? Being social, abundant, welcoming, and positive. Sounds easy, ha!
The Two of Coins is about ‘having it all’, the more you do the more you find you can do. Don’t place limits on your relationship realm this summer. Date as much as you like, go new places, juggle work and play, go on holiday more than once if it suits, be ‘extra’!
The Six of Wands sees you on a roll from now through August, like a ‘midas touch’ vibe. Things will just work out, get lucky, turn out great, be in your favour, start well and end better. Whatever your love life status right now… by autumn, you could be in a happy ever after dream come true!

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Summer love tarot cards for Leo: Knight of Coins, Ace of Coins, Nine of Wands
Meaning: Friendship turns into something else
The Knight and Ace of Coins sees one of your friendships or colleagues even starting to look different to you, and the feeling is mutual. There may be some hesitancy here, but over time, feelings grow and the chemistry crackles… and it’s hard to resist. It’s possible that this person is an Earth sign – Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn.
If you’re happily attached then this could spell temptation or it could actually mean your relationship’s friendship chemistry is rekindling and you start enjoying each other’s company more.
The Nine of Wands removes all obstacles from the path. If you think this can’t work, is too tricky, has been tried before and failed… stop thinking that! Whatever issues you foresee will be swept away by the force of this chemistry. So go for it. Enjoy your blossoming friend-mance!

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Summer love tarot cards for Virgo: Two of Swords, The Sun, Eight of Coins
Meaning: Decisions change the future
Your summer of love is going to be hot. The Sun is a card of passion, love, romance, great fun, and happy times. A holiday overseas would be the perfect tonic and bring you plenty of the aforementioned! However, you also need to make some decisions.
The Two of Swords and Eight of Coins ask you to really think about what you need to stop/start/change now in order for your relationship’s future to be able to flourish and thrive to its full potential. Something might need working harder on. A joint and shared and equal effort. And if it’s all one-sided then, really honestly, is this a relationship worth your precious time and energy? Why give even more when what you’ve already given hasn’t been rewarded?
Make some big choices. Execute them. Know that good times are coming (especially overseas) if you step positively in their direction.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Summer love tarot cards for Libra: King of Swords, Nine of Swords, The Hierophant
Meaning: What do you want
Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. When we fixate on the lack or negativity, we actually end up attracting more of it as we’re vibrating on that frequency. Be a magnet for your dreams.
The Hierophant is a card of marriage, engagement, family, happy-ever-afters and traditional, stable nesting-type relationships. Is that what you want? The King of Swords gives you a choice. He asks you to sit and ponder the coming few years. Is this a goal, or not?
The Nine of Swords shows you’ve had misgivings recently, own up to them and face them, and address them. Get to the bottom of your honest desires. A powerful, aligned, and inspiring Air sign could be on the cards this summer (when your mind is made up) – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. They want the same thing as you and you become a ‘power couple’.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Summer love tarot cards for Scorpio: Six of Cups, Three of Cups, Page of Cups
Meaning: Heightened emotions
A trio of Cups cards spells heightened emotions this summer, lots of sensitive, intimate, secretive, and magical musings with another Water sign who’s on your absolute wavelength (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio).
The Three of Cups sees you having the utmost fun, living in the moment, feeling free and vulnerable and alive! You want to experience everything and fall in love 100%. The Six of Cups shows there is also a playful element to your love life and some nostalgia. This might be the return of an ex or old friend or long-lost love… and everything is rekindled! It might be the injection of something from the past into your current relationship, something you both love doing.
The Page of Cups could mean family/children ahead, or just the extended carefree, child-like, and magical energy that surrounds you this summer. A blessed season of joy.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Summer love tarot cards for Sagittarius: Two of Wands, Strength, Death
Meaning: Healing and renewal
This is a pivotal season to turn your gaze fully and happily from the past to the future. What’s done is done – heal, move on, process, let it go. Extract a life lesson, nothing more.
Strength and Death see you going through a powerful epiphany of release and learning. You see things differently, accept your role in it, and forgive yourself (and others). You feel stronger, wiser, more experienced, and more self-aware about your needs, desires and deal-breakers in love.
The Two of Wands sees you quickly turning this self awareness into action and finding renewal in your love life. If single, look for Leo, Aries, Sagittarius or Scorpio. A powerful person. If you’re attached, then focus on the good between you and amplify, celebrate, and expand it! Build.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Summer love tarot cards for Capricorn: The Chariot, The Devil, The Emperor
Meaning: Game changing summer
A trio of major arcana cards suggests that your love life is going to be significant this summer, maybe game-changing. A theme of power dynamics runs through the season- perhaps changing ones, perhaps new balances of equality or sacrifice and compromise. Consider how balanced you feel with your partner or, if single, how balanced you want to feel? Honestly.
Star signs on the cards for you include Cancer, Capricorn, and Aries. Travel and partying is likely to feature as a catalyst for finding new love, or sparking old feelings. And perhaps being a more assertive, bolshy, upfront and candid version of yourself.
Capricorns can be suspicious, untrusting, secretive, and closed when it comes to matters involving emotions. Try to open up, share, express yourself, and demand what it is you need. The response will surprise you! This might be the major key to you finding sustainable and deeply meaningful connection with another person, even if it’s someone you’ve been with for a long time. Change the dynamics.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Summer love tarot cards for Aquarius: The Moon, Knight of Cups, Ten of Cups
Meaning: Secrets revealed
Mysterious, magical vibes all around your love life this summer, Aquarius, and unseen forces are working in your favour. The Moon is the power card and represents illusions, secrets, mysteries.
Someone new, with a secret, unknown to you right now, is coming… they are possibly a Cancer or Pisces. The Knight and Ten of Cups are two of the most loving, romantic cards in the deck, so this love is going to be like a movie, like a daydream, like everything you wish for!
If you’re attached then talk to your partner about their past, their hopes, their dreams, the things they don’t think you realise or understand about them. Seek to reach new levels of understanding and connection and your love will reach its full potential, it will open up and envelope you in intimacy, passion, and appreciation. The key to this is unlocking new mysteries, so see life as a bit of a puzzle this summer. Crack the codes and win the prizes

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Summer love tarot cards for Pisces: Six of Swords, Five of Swords, The Tower
Meaning: A clean sweep
This trio of cards spell out a clean sweep for you this summer, by that I mean a de-cluttering and clearing out of anything and everything that has thwarted, derailed, upset, or wounded your love life in the past or present. Everything negative is draining away, like dirty water, so let it flow.
The Five of Swords and The Tower show an event or series of events or revelations. They might be a surprise, some might contain a little sting or twist, but just let them flow. Don’t resists, suppress, or make excuses. Let reality show itself and take time to process it. The release will be tremendous. You’re hugely intuitive and have felt the stirrings of this ‘stuff’ for a while. Now it’s out, you’re free of the dread and worry and can crack on.
The Six of Swords shows all the bad stuff will leave, and you’ll be free to enjoy your relationships without its interference. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and maybe an Aries look great for you this summer. This is a wonderful turning point in your romantic fortunes.
