Scorpio Monthly Love Horoscope

You want answers and you want them now! The love planets, Mars and Venus, are in simpatico placements until July 9, as Mars spends the whole month in Gemini and your intimacy sector, while Venus wraps its visit to Leo and your future-focused tenth house this July 9. 

In short, you want to plan AND know where things are going. But be careful about piling on the pressure, Scorpio! Talking about the long term can be a joyful exercise that helps you see a relationship through a wide-angle lens if you keep an open heart and mind!

Things could turn serious—fast—this month with spicy Mars in your intimate eighth house, heating up this merging-minded zone. With shock-jock Uranus also in Gemini, this transit could bring a pregnancy, a proposal, talk of moving in together or some other kind of permanent commitment. Careful, though: The intense red planet can also dial up jealousy and possessiveness, traits that Scorpios already struggle with in the love department. Make sure to have a few good outlets in place to process any difficult feelings that arise.

Although this Mars cycle could find you caught up in turbulent emotions or melodrama, Venus will have a balancing effect while it's in Virgo from July 9 until August 6, helping you detach from drama. Virgo rules your eleventh house of friendship, group activity and technology. You could meet someone (or a few fun prospects) online and enjoy some flirtatious, no-strings dates.

With Venus in this casual zone, the most romantic times will probably also be the most laid-back ones! Friends could introduce you to their friends at a barbecue or you could connect with someone when you're "off-duty," hanging out at a street fair or meeting friends for dinner. Stay open and make an extra effort to be present instead of zoning out or obsessing. It all starts with eye contact and a smile—and that shouldn't be too hard to do now! For coupled Scorpios, time spent hanging with your separate groups instead of being attached at the hip could keep the spark burning.

Just watch for tension on July 29, when Venus and Mars lock into an embattled square, pulling you between desires for control and autonomy. One part of you wants more breathing room, but your jealous impulses could interfere. Instead of acting like you don’t care then privately obsessing, aim for greater transparency—and catch yourself when you’re blaming someone for “making” you feel a certain way.
