Each Zodiac’s Relationship Horoscope For July 31st—August 6th

Aries

Leo season has been lighting up your 5th House of Romance and Creativity, but with Venus shifting into retrograde in that same house, you could still be trying to determine where to direct your passion. You could feel the urge to text an ex, or one may reach out to you. If you engage, proceed with caution. Additionally, the planet of communication, Mercury, moved into Virgo last week, joining Mars in your 6th House of Health and Habits, which lends itself to focus on creating healthy structures and boundaries.

Finally, the Aquarius Full Moon is showing up on Tuesday, August 1st, in your 11th House of Friends and Networking, and with it forming an opposition to Venus and the Sun, you may feel some tension between your romantic life and your friend circles. You can balance friendships and your love life if you put in the effort.

Taurus

You may feel the urge to spice things up, Taurus—and be vocal about it! Venus Retrograde in Leo has been working through your 4th House House of Home and Roots. If you live with your partner, you may become more aware of specific imbalances in your relationship. If you don’t live with a partner, you may revisit your relationships with your parents and see how those dynamics impact your current connections—which may be enlightening (but not always comfortable).

With Mercury starting its transit in your 5th House of Romance and Creativity (joining Mars, the planet of action and drive), you may feel emboldened to be a little more playful or flirtatious. If you’re feeling some type of way, don’t be afraid to say it. A little connection could be what you need this week!

Gemini

You’ve been staying close to home lately, Gemini, and you continue to do so this week as Venus retrogrades in Leo and the Sun moves through your 3rd House of Communication and Community. You may have recently experienced some romantic possibilities close to home, even if you’re still feeling things out. You may feel as if there are important things you want to communicate to others, notably involving your relationships. However, the retrograde is asking you to take your time. Don’t ramble and make a major misstep.

As the Full Moon in Aquarius lights up your 9th House of Philosophy, Higher Education, and Travel, you could be itching to expand and see what the world holds for yo. But again, sit with this feeling. Some things may be coming to a close that might feel like a door slam, but this is far from the end of the road.

Cancer

Venus Retrograde has been working through your 2nd House of Values and Possessions, which has profoundly impacted how you view your relationships. With Mercury in its home sign of Venus and your 3rd House of Communication and Community, you may strive to be more vocal about your feelings with those in your inner circles.

When the Aquarius Full Moon appears in your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, emotions may come to a head. You may be longing for some serious intimate connection (and you might get it!). You will also feel some sensitivity about your bonds with others, including current romantic partners. Take your time processing those emotions!

Leo

Your head and heart are working overtime this week, Leo. The Sun and Venus Retrograde in your 1st House of Self and Identity has already increased focus on who you are and who you want to be—as well as what you need from your relationships to feel secure. With Mercury now in your 2nd House of Values and Possessions, you may feel more communicative about vocalizing what matters to you.

When the Aquarius Full Moon appears in your 7th House of Relationships on Tuesday, some much-needed illumination regarding your relationships will surface. You will find out whether the relationships you’re currently in are healthy and supportive. Don’t make any major decisions this week, though—take your time examining these revelations before acting on them.

Virgo

Have you checked in with yourself lately, Virgo? Relationally, you’ve been feeling a bit withdrawn, which is understandable and sometimes necessary. It’s important to reflect on what we think and feel, especially if we’ve been avoiding or repressing things. With Mercury joining Mars in your 1st House of Self and Identity, part of you may be chomping at the bit to do something with yourself and your life. Now that Venus Retrograde in Leo has begun in your 12th House of Spirituality and the Subconscious, there could be some tension in terms of what you haven’t processed in your relationships.

With the Full Moon opposing Venus this week in your 6th House of Habits and Routines, you may wrestle with keeping your emotions in check. Remember that the people around you aren’t aware of what’s going on with you internally, so don’t take out your negative feelings on them. 

Libra 

This week will fuel your desire to balance your needs with the needs of others. Relationally, you’ve already been reassessing your current social circles with Venus Retrograde in your 11th House of Friends and Networking, which could involve changing your current role in those groups. 

With the Aquarius Full Moon showing up in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance, you could experience a significant moment of connection or sparks with someone you’ve had your eye on recently — and when you’re least anticipating it. Remember—it’s okay to let yourself experience excitement and passion. 

Scorpio

Relationships may not have your complete focus this week, Scorpio—and that’s okay. Leo has already been shining its light on your 10th House of Career and Public Image, but with Venus now in retrograde, you could be thinking more about what people think of you (which may take its toll on your relationships if you aren’t careful).  

The Aquarius Full Moon showing up in your 4th House of Home and Roots may remind you about the opinions of those who matter: the people you’re closest to. It may take getting a little vulnerable to express your inner struggles, but the ones you love will always be willing to listen.

Sagittarius

This week places some pressure on what it means to stick around, especially in terms of your relationships. Venus Retrograde is in full swing in your 9th House of Travel, Philosophy, and Higher Education, which could lend itself to the desire to take off and disconnect from the world around you. Your explorative side is an asset, but the retrograde needs you to slow down. Determine whether this side of you is surfacing to avoid important discussions. 

With the Aquarius Full Moon in your 3rd House of Communication and Community, you can receive some much-needed revelations about talking things through rather than taking off at the first sign of trouble.

Capricorn

Venus Retrograde in Leo wants to remind you that you deserve the affection and dedication you give to others, Capricorn. As the retrograde continues through your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, it’s okay to let yourself be more open with the people you love and trust. If you’re feeling extremely hesitant, it’s a good time to ask yourself why. 

As the Full Moon in Aquarius appears in your 2nd House of Values and Material Possessions, you can further explore what matters to you most.

Aquarius

Your relationships have been heavy on your mind lately, Aquarius. As the Venus Retrograde in Leo continues in your 7th House of Relationships, you’re reassessing and reflecting on the state of your current one-on-one connections. Additionally, with Mercury joining Mars in Virgo, and your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, you may feel the ever-pressing need to have conversations about what you need and the types of habits and bonds defining your relationships.

With the Full Moon in your sign showing up in your 1st House of Self and Identity, it’s a good time to reflect on what you need and want in your relationships—and whether those things are being met. If not, are you being reasonable? Are the people you’re connecting with showing up in the ways you’d hope for? Sit with the answers before making any bold changes.

Pisces

Your current focus on your mental and physical health is ideal for you this week, Pisces. As the Venus Retrograde continues in your 6th House of Habits and Routines, you continue to focus on upgrading your routines to better suit your life and dynamic with others. The Full Moon in Aquarius further pushes this introspection as it appears in your 12th House of Spirituality and Subconscious, which could have you feeling a little more pensive.

Now that Mercury has joined Mars in Virgo, you may also feel the desire to share these insights with your close ones. Some clear conversation can do wonders in helping you figure out what needs to take shape to better help your day-to-day.
