Sagittarius Monthly Love Horoscope

Who says commitment can’t be fun? The love planets, Mars and Venus, are in simpatico placements until July 9, as Mars spends the whole month in Gemini and your partnerships sector and Venus wraps its visit to Leo and your jubilant, expansive ninth house, activating your adventurous side full-force. Think far and wide when it comes to love: a romantic vacation, a long-distance spark, meeting someone while you travel. A beautiful mind will turn you on now too, as Venus in this curious and creative sector could draw you to an out-of-the-box thinker.

Your partnerships are in a major heat zone this month. Sexy and intense Mars is in Gemini and your committed relationship house until August 11. While there may be a bumpy patch until July 23 while Mercury is retrograde, that won’t completely dilute the summer spice. Sags may feel temperatures increase in the bedroom and out.

Watch for tension that turns into fighting, because assertive Mars can also make you a bit combative and stressed. If you feel that things have been unfair between you and another person, stick up for yourself. Just be careful not to bulldoze anyone or be too impatient with your partner. As a fire sign, you already have a bit of a short temper, and this Mars in Gemini transit—along with Mercury retrograde in your intimacy zone—won’t do much to help that. Learning (and practicing) new communication skills will go a LONG way.

As we get into the second week of the month, you’ll start to feel more grounded. Romantic Venus slips into Virgo from July 9 to August 6, warming up your tenth house of long-term plans and professional success. Paired with Mars in your partnership zone, things could start moving into official terrain fast. Hello, power couple!

But are you really ready for this much at once? A moment of (inconvenient) truth could reveal a few cracks in the foundation on July 29, when Venus and Mars lock into an embattled square. Your relationship and career goals could also be at odds, or maybe you’re not sure you both want the same things five or ten years from now. Pause to address these matters with full honesty. While communication planet Mercury is retrograde, use this window to get everything out in the open—and hopefully devise some savvy solutions that work for you both.
