The best relationship is the one that helps you become more of who you are, not less.
By Kate Rose — Written on Jul 17, 2022
Your weekly love horoscope for each zodiac sign is here July 18 - 24, 2022 at the change of the Sun from Cancer to Leo.
In the coming days, the energy shifts as the fire sign of Leo dominates the energy giving you the ability to know your own heart so that you can follow it explicitly.
Early in the week, Mercury starts the wave of Leo energy by moving into this sign prompting you to speak from your heart more and not to mince words when it comes to matters of love.
Leo is bold, courageous and doesn't fear the unknown which is the energy that will be filtering through your own being throughout the week.
Allow yourself to take chances, embrace risk and welcome in that heart-centered energy that will help you be able to first know your own truth so that any decisions or choices you make come from it, rather than in spite of it.
Asteroid Chiron turns retrograde this week in Aries, inviting you into the healing that is possible if only you slow down and give yourself a chance to reflect and process what you have gone through.
By having this healing energy mixed with Leo’s encouraging you to follow your heart, you’ll be able to reach some major milestones in learning karmic lessons so that you can genuinely feel as if you are growing into more of who you truly are.
This is the purpose of love, after all, to help you be able to unlearn everything that has kept you from being your true self.
Retrograde Saturn in Aquarius, the planet that is responsible for all those challenging lessons in love, unites with Jupiter midweek giving you a chance to see the benefits of actually learning from your past so that you can then start making different decisions for your future.
Use this energy to allow yourself to face what is still challenging and to take on the task of doing things differently so that you can truly allow yourself to grow in all the ways that love will ask of you.
The end of the week brings the Last Quarter Moon in Aries bringing a desire to overcome the obstacles that have prevented healing as well as love which will allow you to make sure that you’re not the one sabotaging your heart's deepest desires.
Then as asteroid Ceres, ruler of the feminine, care and nurturing, enters Leo at the end of the week, it will be time to tend to your heart and that of your partners so that you can truly embrace the love that helps you become the person that you knew all along you truly were.
Important dates for your weekly love horoscope this week:
Tuesday, July 19th
Mercury shifts into Leo today as Chiron begins its retrograde in Aries. Mercury rules communication, both the way in which you think and how you speak. In Leo, it’s all about the heart. This is great energy for dating and for existing couples as you’ll be speaking your deepest feelings and desires instead of trying to mask or downplay them.
Asteroid Chiron represents healing, taking what you’ve been through and becoming better because of it. In Aries, it’s determined to do this which will positively affect relationships so that both can heal together and in a balanced way allowing more focus on the future for both.
Wednesday, July 20th
The Last Quarter Moon in Aries occurs today bringing a burning desire to overcome obstacles that have caused delays or challenges within relationships. This is the time to honestly assess where you are at and to deal with things that are preventing you from moving forward together.
Thursday, July 21st

Once you do, it feels almost as if you are being reborn and this energy will show you that the best relationship is one that helps you grow into more of who you are.
Friday, July 22nd
