There is a shift this week in relationships as a more committed and focused energy to overcome obstacles about fears about intimacy. In healthy relationships, your words align with your actions, bringing consistency and clarity to the relationship. It shows your partner that you are what you say and bring that same energy to the connection. When your words and actions align, it creates a place of emotional safety within the relationship. This emotional safety allows you and your partner to feel like you can express and talk about anything while having one another remain consistent. But it also speaks to each knowing how the other feels about them and their place within their lives. Healthy love leaves no room for doubt, no space to wonder or even question. It speaks from the heart and then is committed to transforming those words into actions to create a relationship. As Mars shifts into Taurus and Mercury edges its way into Cancer, this becomes the energetic focus for this week.

Days that affect your love horoscope this week:

Monday, July 4th Asteroid Pallas rules your inner wisdom and ability to fight and stand up for what it is you believe in. Today Pallas will be moving into Gemini, encouraging you to begin expressing yourself through important conversations and writing. This is excellent energy for conveying feelings of vulnerability and love towards your partner and processing feelings about a recent event to help bring greater clarity and meaning. Tuesday, July 5th In a significant energy shift, Mars moves into Taurus today while Mercury dissolves into the cerulean waters of Cancer. Neither of these placements is home territories for these planets, but they help your romantic life. Mars is the planet that rules passion and your ability to go after what it is you want. In Taurus, it brings very committed energy. One that is fixed upon its desires not to let anything or anyone throw it off course. A big part of the action in love, though, is being able to speak and communicate your deepest feelings, which Mercury in Cancer aids with. While the planet of communication is in the sensitive water sign of Cancer, it can become easier to express feelings of love and even what makes up the life that you hope to create with a partner. As Cancer rules home and family, domestic intimacy rules this energetic period.

Vesta in Pisces brings an energy of being committed to those you love and wanting to help heal them. This is not through a codependent lens, but you want to put in as much work to help a partner become their best self as you would put into your self-work.

Libra

(September 23 - October 22) Best Love Day: Tuesday, July 5th Mars is the planet most known for ruling ambition; however, it also governs passion and physical intimacy. As it shifts to Taurus this week, your focus will be drawn on how you have used and received physical intimacy within your own life, bringing a transformation to this realm.

Reflect on if you have used this tool of love to gain the affection of a partner, end an argument or help you feel more secure in love. Instead, remain aware that intimacy is meant to unite both people together in a physical bond, not to be used to compensate if another part of the connection is lacking.
