Love horoscope for July 2024 for every zodiac sign

Love horoscope for July 2024 for every zodiac sign

Venus and Mars, the planets of love and sex, move into new signs in July, increasing the energy in relationships and changing your desires.

The month kicks off in caring and cuddly Cancer season, and love planet Venus will also travel alongside the sun in this sensitive water sign until July 11. The sweet new moon in Cancer on July 5 is the perfect time to build an emotional connection with someone or take a step toward commitment in an existing relationship—especially since both the moon and Venus will be in a lucky trine aspect with serious Saturn.

Romance gets lively and eye-catching once Venus enters the sly and vivacious sign of Leo on July 11. Public displays of affection are everyone’s new favorite love language, and you’re approaching love with an open heart. Just before Venus reaches this fire sign, she blows a kiss to dreamy planet Neptune and sprinkles a rosy, heart-shaped haze over relationships. It’s the perfect week to write a love letter, create a summer love playlist, or just lie in bed and dream about your dream crush.

On July 20, sensual planet Mars enters flirtatious air sign Gemini. Witty banter might be the most exciting form of foreplay right now. The full moon the following day connects favorably with passionate Mars, and romantic Venus will get in the mood at the same time as lucky Jupiter—making it the perfect time to move forward with a romance and indulge in sensual pleasure. Once Leo season begins on July 22, hot girl summer is in full swing, so dress up and have fun.

Read on to find out the love horoscope for your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Your love horoscope for July.

Cancer season has you feeling extra sensitive, so if you’re triggered by a partner or love situation during the new moon, remember that you have to feel it to heal it. By the end of the month, those sensitive spots will feel a lot less sensitive! On July 11, heart-eyed Venus enters your flirtatious fifth house, infusing your dating life with romance and making sex extra sweet.

Starting July 22, Leo season lights a fire in your love life, so prioritize passion in the last third of the month. Try out your game if you’re single, or find ways to spice up your sex life with a steady partner. It’s time for some sizzling summer fun.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Your love horoscope for July.

If you’re craving fresh vibes in your love life, July will provide that. Be prepared to expand your comfort zone! With sensual planet Mars in your sign during the first weeks of the month, get ready to unabashedly pursue your desires and take on the role of the pursuer in love. The new moon on July 5 is perfect for asking your crush out on a date, and mid-month is an exciting time to throw your partner a sexy surprise.

This adventurous energy lasts until the full moon on July 21, inspiring you to experiment with new things. The talkative planet Mercury lights up your passion zone in the last week of July, so tell your lovers what’s on your mind.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your love horoscope for July.

During the first half of July, your love life will be all about glitz and luxury, so treat yourself to a fancy night out or spoil your partner with an unusual gift. Expect the intensity to increase mid-month, especially when passionate Mars enters your sign on July 20. You know exactly what you want from relationships, and shouldn’t be afraid to pursue it!

The full moon the next day draws deep emotions from the cracks and crevices of your heart, so show yourself vulnerable with a lover or step back from a casual fling briefly to process your true feelings. However, know that luck is on your side if you need to have an important full moon conversation, as beloved Venus will simultaneously harmonize with Jupiter in your sign.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Your love horoscope for July.

The first third of the month is packed with magical opportunities for your love life, especially under the sweet new moon in your sign on June 5. It’s a wonderful time to develop deeper feelings for a new person or take a bigger step toward commitment with a current partner. From then until mid-month, say yes to unexpected adventures and focus on expanding your comfort zone—because you might conjure up a surprise meeting with a sexy stranger or spark some special spiritual conversations with a lover.

The full moon on July 21 wants you to take a realistic look at your relationships, so lay everything on the table as you look to the future and decide what’s worth pursuing.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Your love horoscope for July.

It can be hard to see things clearly in love during the first third of the month, but that doesn’t mean you’re not processing important feelings beneath the surface. Try to listen to your intuition in relationships and dating, especially during the new moon on July 5. You’ll feel more in control once beloved Venus lights up your sign starting July 11, but resist any urge to be manipulative or give in to jealousy. You’re utterly irresistible, so use your powers for good.

With Leo season approaching, good luck in love awaits you. The full moon on July 21 is a great time to meet someone new through friends or take an existing relationship to even more meaningful growth.

Virgo (23 August – 22 September)

Your love horoscope for July.

Your relationships will become more committed at the beginning of the month, and the new moon on July 5 is the perfect time to turn a friendship into something more. The middle of the month promises fun and dreamy vibes, ideal for a group date or perhaps some mystical late-night conversations with a lover.

Listen to your intuition about love as you approach the full moon on July 21. This lunar phase is great for dating, romance, and bringing a little more passion into your sex life. You’ll be especially talkative during the last week of the month, so text your crush or write someone a love letter.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Your love horoscope for July.

Your professional and social life is busy this month, but beneath the surface you’re doing a lot of emotional work on intimacy, vulnerability, and boundaries in your relationships. Take time to process your feelings and tell your partners (and yourself!) what you really want.

Relationships and situations could get especially intense mid-month, so remind yourself that power struggles don’t have to be a part of your love life. When the full moon arrives on July 21, you’ll feel more ready to put the lessons you’ve learned into action. Be social at the end of the month, because when the sun blows a kiss to the lunar ascending node of fate in your relationship sector, there’s a chance you’ll meet someone special.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Your love horoscope for July.

This month, you’re opening your mind to new ideas about what makes a relationship work and what it means to love. And with your fiery cosmic ruler Mars in your relationship zone for the first few weeks of the month, it’s the perfect time to put the feelings you’re exploring into action. The new moon on July 5 could help you step out of your comfort zone if you’re single, or rearrange your romantic boundaries in a relationship to make more room for exploration.

Spice things up a bit and follow your unexpected impulses in love mid-month – you might be surprised by what you like. In the last third of the month, passion will grow stronger as sensual Mars enters the intimacy zone of your chart. Set boundaries when necessary and settle for nothing less than total honesty with your lovers.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Your love horoscope for July.

The month starts on an intimate note, and the emotional new moon on July 5 puts you in touch with your sensitive side. It’s a good time to become more vulnerable in relationships and start a new chapter in honesty and boundaries, whether you’re casually or committed.

In the last third of the month, passion in relationships increases. You may feel a little more heated, but also more lustful. Let your desires run free and tell your partner exactly what you want – and don’t be afraid to explore new territory in love.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Your love horoscope for July.

This month, your summer love feelings are in full swing, starting with an ultra-romantic new moon on July 5. New emotional connections are forming in casual and committed relationships, so follow your heart and dive into the feelings.

Towards the middle of the month, it’s important to gently step out of your comfort zone, as this will allow you to build even stronger bonds between you and your loved ones. Don’t be afraid to follow your wilder impulses and have new and unusual experiences when it comes to sex and dating. On July 21, a powerful full moon will ring out in your sign, giving you an enchanting sense of confidence.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Your love horoscope for July.

You’re not always keen to put your feelings into words, but the first half of the month is a great time to do so—and your partners will be even more receptive to what you have to say starting July 11, when amorous Venus hits your relationship zone. Lots of underlying feelings will also come up throughout the month, so work through them honestly rather than letting them fester.

If you’re on the dating scene, you may find that the full moon on July 21 gives you the energy to court many different people at once. If you’re in a relationship, you may feel a little more passion to seduce a steady partner.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Your love horoscope for July.

This month, diving into a dreamy summer romance is the focus, and the new moon on July 5 is the ideal time to make your fantasies come true. Commit to what (and who) you want in love. The second week of July is full of exciting opportunities to add some magic to casual and committed relationships, so be open to potential sweet encounters and let yourself get lost in a lavender haze of love.

The full moon on July 21 is a good time for a group date or a flirty night with friends. Communication in relationships will become stronger in the last week of July and the words you’ve been waiting for may finally flow.
