Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 16

Relationships could be all over the place this week as warrior Mars in diplomatic Libra is rocked with enthusiasm on Monday and Tuesday, before mistrust and suspicion sneak in to steal the show. A desire to flee difficult challenges or embrace new experiences is likely as shocking Uranus and provocative Pluto crank up the energy prior to the late night hypersensitive Cancer New Moon. Thankfully, sobering planetary influences start to cool off the emotional drama by Saturday morning as we seek calmer companionship and quieter times under a thoughtful Virgo Moon.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions could run to extremes this week with your passionate planet Mars triggering rapid changes of mood. But if you can ride out the storm, you might land in a happier place that surprises you with a newfound sense of freedom and excitement. Just note that sticking to your commitments is likely to be the key to harmony this weekend when little acts of consideration earn you trust and affection.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s some magic waiting to happen this weekend with the earthy Virgo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance on Saturday and Sunday. The key to finding romance is to stretch your usual social boundaries, express yourself more openly and explore how to play the game of love in different ways. Maintaining your sense of humor makes it possible for you to try new things without the fear of looking foolish.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Healthy relationships rely on open communication, but it’s especially important to be thoughtful about what you say this week. A desire to express yourself more honestly is fine if you are sensitive as to how your message will be received. It’s wiser to avoid delicate subjects now unless you’re sure that the situation truly calls for it. Keeping your thoughts to yourself or engaging in light chatter is preferable to revealing too much and inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings in the process.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A New Moon in your nurturing sign on Wednesday night intensifies your feelings and increases your commitment to take charge of your personal life. Negotiations are necessary and patience is required to iron out the important details essential for making a partnership work. The weekend is excellent for doing some rational thinking that helps you discuss emotional issues in a clear-headed manner.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Memories of love gained and lost may well up from the past with the sentimental Cancer New Moon falling in your reflective 12th house in the middle of the week. It’s appropriate to review previous relationship experiences before you get a fresh wave of energy when the Sun enters your colorful sign on Sunday. Finishing off old business clears the decks, making it possible to move your life in a more fulfilling direction.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s presence in your sign this weekend encourages you to wear your heart on your sleeve and others can’t help but notice. Yet you may be overly sensitive on Saturday afternoon when dreamy Neptune washes away logic with an overdose of emotion or a taste for fantasy. This won’t be a problem if you’re enjoying the company of a tender person or engaging in an inspiring activity. Just don’t leave common sense behind in your hunger for intimacy.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Passionate Mars in your sign gives you more drive and the ability to take the lead in relationships. A push from optimistic Jupiter starts Tuesday with enthusiasm, but Mars’ tough aspects to disruptive Uranus later that day and to provocative Pluto on Wednesday can spur surprises and trigger conflict. Don’t let a crisis of the moment turn into a major war unless you’re ready to tear your relationship life apart so you can build a new one.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feisty ruling planet Mars is kicking up a storm this week, provoking sudden bursts of energy and unexpected behavior. Your reactions could be out of proportion to the events that trigger them, so keep a check on feelings and avoid impulsive actions. On the plus side, you might be motivated to change your attitude about love and adjust your expectations about relationships. Take notes, learn, and ponder before making a major move.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sensitivity in your relationships becomes a major issue with the tender Cancer New Moon falling in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. This is a gentle cosmic reminder that intimacy blossoms when you feel safe and secure. Showing that you care and expecting the same of others comes from growing more at ease in vulnerable situations. It’s possible to express your needs without appearing needy, making you even more endearing to others.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Relationships take an emotional turn now with a mid-week Cancer New Moon landing in your 7th House of Partners. Feelings are more important than logic in this delicate environment, so don’t let your head get in the way of your heart. There’s a place for reason, but not when it comes before responding to the needs of the one you love. By the same token, you also can benefit from some emotional support and a little tender, loving care.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your urge for independence could explode with impulsive behavior on Wednesday. Irrepressible Mars opposes your spontaneous ruling planet Uranus to shake up and wake up your personal life. You should be ready to break your patterns and move in a new direction so that you can start exploring fresh forms of fun. It’s helpful, though, to give yourself a chance to experiment for a while instead of making any major decisions too soon.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The caring Cancer New Moon on Wednesday night sets your heart sailing on hopeful waters. Saturday could turn out to be magical with an afternoon opposition of the Moon to your inspiring planet Neptune, dissolving barriers with others. While a profound, maybe even spiritual, connection is a potential reward, there’s also a risk of projecting your fantasies on the wrong person. What you see and feel may not be what you get unless you add a small dose of logic to the mix.
