Here is your weekly love horoscope for July 10 - 16, during Mars entering Virgo. Mars in Virgo brings passion to a new level. It's not the moments of bliss that genuinely define a relationship but the small details of how you can hold one another, support each other, and build a life together. Love is found in how you and your partner show up for your relationship each day. Focusing on these smaller moments creates a bond that can never be broken.

In the week of July 10 –16, 2023, Mars, the planet of ambition and passion, shifts into the earth sign of Virgo. This new sign changes Mars's influence on your life. Usually, Mars is impulsive and rash; it fires you up to pursue and achieve whatever you desire. However, in Virgo, the energy changes; you are called to bring greater focus and commitment to your life as you pay more attention to romantic details.

   

   

While Venus retrograde is only a few weeks away, there is already starting to be a more reflective plan-orientated energy that is beginning to filter in. Mars in Virgo intensifies that, as you start to understand, it's not the lofty dream to focus on or even the momentary joy but the steps you can take to create a life of love, happiness and growth.

The details of life aren't always thought to be particularly romantic. However, it separates a fling from a forever love. Spend time talking things out with your partner about the relationship, how to improve it and how to build a life together. Allow yourself to lean in where it was once uncomfortable. By meeting these moments with patience and openness, you can transform your relationship — and your entire life.

While you will still seize plenty of moments with your lover, you will be thinking more significantly and further ahead, making this a powerful time for planning your lives together. Start from the ground up and remember to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

Capricorn  

(December 22 - January 19) 

Best day for love: Tuesday, July 11, 2023 

As a Capricorn, when it comes to love, it's essential to understand that you will need to approach it differently than your career or even other parts of your life. You are highly driven and focus on the goals so intensely that you don't allow the small things happening daily today to affect your progress. Yet, when it comes to love, it's the tiny moments that end up determining the bigger picture.  

During the week of July 10 – 16, 2023, as Mercury shifts into Leo, highlighting your sector of transformation and intimacy, it's essential to make sure your words align with your actions. You can tell your partner they are the most critical thing in your life, but the words become meaningless if your actions don't align.

Listen to what your partner is trying to say; instead of hearing what you think it means or even what you want it to, try to understand how they express their needs. The more you can learn your partner's needs, the more you can show up in all the ways they need.

Monday, July 10, 2023 

The essential aspect of taking action comes from the wisdom to know which decision aligns with your truth — and which is not. This knowledge becomes easier to access as asteroid Pallas enters Virgo today, as it helps you to seek out what you may have previously not been ready to. Pallas represents your ability to understand and problem-solve so that you can overcome any obstacle creatively. In relationships, this helps you gain clarity over your truth and the root of any challenges you've recently had so you can figure out a solution or even repair any situation.  

On the heels of Pallas, Mars, the planet of action and passion, enters Virgo today as well, strengthening your resolve and helping you to slow down so you don't miss any critical details. Mars in Virgo isn't as impulsive and instead ushers in a time of commitment, compromise and the ability to make grounded plans for the next chapter of your life. You are entering a critical time where it's not the action you take at the moment that matters most but the plans you are putting in place which will guarantee your romantic success. Take your time, and don't rush the process that you're within because there is a purpose to it all.  

Tuesday, July 11, 2023 

Regarding relationships, communication is one of the most determining factors. This often is depicted by the actions of Mercury, the planet which governs how you think and speak.

Leo rules the Sun and is the zodiac sign most associated with the sentiment of following your heart, which means this is the direction that you will feel most called to pursue yourself. The remarkable aspect of Mercury in Leo is that it becomes easier for you to say what you want or what is most important to you. You will be more apt to speak the truth, to have boundaries and not to be afraid to go after the desires of your heart. Use this to open up honest conversations and be fearless regarding heart matters.
