Pisces Monthly Love Horoscope

Check in on the health of your closest ties this July, Pisces. The love planets, Mars and Venus, are in simpatico placements until July 9, as Mars spends the whole month in Gemini and your domestic sector and Venus wraps its visit to Leo and your sensible, wellness-focused sixth house. 

Since mid-June, when this Venus transit began, you may have been called to attend to your body, treating it like a temple with regular movement, clean eating and maybe a fresh skincare routine. Single Fish, typically drawn to edgy and larger-than-life types, could have attracted a hidden gem who’s grounded, sensible and supportive. For coupled Pisces, this is a great time to settle into the simple rhythms of shared life, enjoying time with family and in nostalgic spaces. With Mercury retrograde in Cancer and your romance sector until the 23rd, cautious communication is in order—but it’s also a great time to revisit old memories and sentimental spots. 

Passion planet Mars spends all month in Gemini, activating your sensitive fourth house. This transit, which happens every two years, inspires you to deepen your bonds and take a chance on getting closer, while being more assertive and courageous with your emotional expression. Open up and reveal your vulnerable side or share some nostalgic pieces of your personal history by taking your S.O. on a stroll down memory lane. Is it time to show them your childhood home, introduce your partner to your family or to exchange keys?

An additional warning: Your moods will be prickly with the red planet intensifying everything, and you're naturally prone to taking things a bit too personally. Watch those knee-jerk reactions! Mars here can activate some abandonment fears and also a few "parent issues." If you find yourself edging into needy territory—or pushing someone away because you realize how dependent you've grown—take a step back and ground yourself.

Play those cards right and you might find yourself on more secure relationship ground than ever. From July 9 to August 6, romantic Venus visits Virgo and your seventh house of partnership, putting you in the mood to get serious. Set aside your reservations and let friends fix you up. Chat with that mutual acquaintance at a party, even if you feel awkward at first. Coupled Pisces will enjoy sweet moments of connection. Take time for just the two of you, planning special outings where you can talk, bond and enjoy each other's company.

But don’t rush any binding decisions, especially while Mercury is retrograde in your love sector until July 23. And watch out for emotional overload on July 29, when Venus and Mars clash in an embattled square, just in time for the Aquarius full moon in your twelfth house of healing and closure. Strong feelings come rushing out and this burst dam could cause you to lose perspective, overwhelming you and anyone in your path. Tune into your intuition and signs from the divine.
