Your love horoscope for next week, when it comes to love, romance, and dating, based on your astrology sign. Select your sign to discover more about your love horoscope:
Aries, this is the week when Venus, the ruler of all things love, moves into her retrograde motion. In your very own sign, this is bound to bring up some ‘stuff’ for you and your connections. Yet, at the same time, having Venus stay for a longer stretch in your very own sign is perhaps not such a negative thing. It does mean that you get to enjoy her gifts for a little longer, making you feel more beautiful/handsome and attractive than usual. It’s also a great time to ‘peacock’ – to show the world just how delectable and skilled you are. Your confidence should be soaring, Aries, and that’s always a magnet for relationships.
Now for the hard part: Venus retrograde in your sign can have you acting a little more selfishly than usual. Remember, Aries, it’s not all about you. Try your best not to take things so personally. Putting yourself first is all very well and good, but you still need to compromise.

Taurus Love Horoscope
Your ruler, Venus, is going retrograde this week, Taurus. In your unrequited love sector, this is likely to be all about you learning to love yourself a little harder. It’s about sitting with any yearnings, any losses, and really holding them rightly. It’s about not jumping into any relationship impulsively, just because you’re craving attention and need to be seen or witnessed. We all have a deep need to be validated. Yet, as you know, the best kind of validation is the validation that you give towards yourself. You are your own biggest love of your life, Taurus.
The New Moon on Friday unfolds in your love-received sector, allowing the next several months to be a time wherein your cup of love is likely to be filled all the way to the brim, Taurus. If you are in a relationship, you’ll find that this is a period wherein you’re just being more and more adored, as you should be.
Gemini Love Horoscope
This week, Gemini, focus on your professional development. Love can wait. There seem to be some big things developing for you at the moment, big paths that you’re meant to walk. Your relationships can wait, for now. You’re moving towards your soul path, and just the act of doing that will likely move you towards the love you seek – if you are seeking love, that is. When we focus on building our own magnetism, when we trust our purpose and our path – this is when the magic happens, Gemini.
There is one sign to look at when it comes to love this week, Gemini, and that’s the retrograde of Venus. She dances backwards in the sector of your chart connected to the love you receive from others, be this from your friends or your partner(s). As such, you may have exes reappear or old friendships come up, perhaps making you feel quite validated and loved. At the same time, it may be that the way you receive love and care will need to be reviewed over these next few weeks, Gemini.
Cancer Love Horoscope
This week holds the potential of enormous growth, Cancer, particularly when it comes to your spirituality. It seems as though the Universe is opening up a way for you to take a big journey in these next few months, whether it’s one alongside your partner or a solo adventure. Either way, it’s a good moment to get excited about what the future holds for you, Cancer. The more you allow yourself to spread your wings, the better your love life will get, simply because you are following the beat of your own drum.
The Venus retrograde this week seems to also be more pertinent to your professional world than to your personal life, Cancer. It looks as though your connections here need to be most tended to, as you navigate the sometimes fiery waters of your own desires and the desires of your work, whatever that might be for you. Your relationships? They seem to take some of a backseat right now, Cancer. And this is perfectly ok, you know.
Leo Love Horoscope
This week is completely focused on intimacy, Leo. What does intimacy mean to you? Does it mean pooling resources and sharing them together with your partner? Your finances, in particular? Does it mean divulging your deepest feelings, wounds, and needs? Intimacy is different for everyone, so find your flavor this week, Leo. Being such a strong and independent sign, you’re someone that can sometimes struggle to ask for help. Yet, if you don’t, you may deny someone – your partner – the opportunity to really be there for you, and this, to be closer.
Of course, there should always be a certain level of boundaries to be kept. If not, Leo, you may find yourself floundering later down the line. Lean in, but know where and when to not only hold yourself, but also allow your significant other to carry themselves, too. The next few months may also carry the energy of endings, yet only if the relationship has already begun fizzling out, Leo.
Virgo Love Horoscope
Almost all the configurations this week unfold in your opposite sign, Virgo– the sign of your committed relationships. The New Moon is particularly important and significant for relationships in general, Virgo, so pay close attention. It may bring along a very powerful connection over these next several months, if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s also not unheard of for people to get engaged or married under these kinds of auspices, Virgo, so if there is someone special in your world right now, it’s a lovely time for things to unfold.
What seems to be working well is also your communication, Virgo. Your ruler, Mercury, joins up with Saturn, revealing a serious, grounded approach to relating. This could be seen as doom and gloom, and without the influence of Neptune also joining Mercury, things could well be a little heavy, but Neptune lends the magic you need this week, Virgo – phew.
Libra Love Horoscope
Next after this publicity
Your ruler, Venus, goes retrograde in your relationship sector this week, Libra. This does, admittedly, bring up a few shadows when it comes to your romantic relationships. And yes, this can be somewhat of a challenge. You may experience exes waltzing back into your world, bringing up the question of whether or not you should ‘go there’ again.
Well, should you? It’s generally not advised to embark on any sort of relationship during Venus retrograde, Libra. Instead, it’s a period wherein to review your values and assess what’s working for you, and what’s not. Often, retrogrades bring us a sense of closure, as painful as that closure might feel. Use this period wisely, Libra, and do your utmost not to be too impulsive. There may also be some conflicts coming up, making it important to take a stand and fight for what you know is right for you. Have your own back.
Scorpio Love Horoscope
The New Moon this week unfolds beautifully in your romance and dating zone, Scorpio, making it a delicious time for connection. Perhaps not right now, but in the next few months. New Moons take about six months to unfold, so proceed carefully and gently, with love and compassion, and most especially, an open heart. Being someone who’s likely been betrayed any number of times, this may be quite hard for you to do. Nevertheless, if you don’t do this deep work, you’ll never reap the rewards, Scorpio. As always, it’s your choice as to how much you choose to open up.
Big concerns also seem to be very much on the cards now, as well as big dreams and visions. Luckily, you seem to be tempering reality with fantasy, knowing when it’s time to rein it in, and when it’s time to let the magic happen. Existing relationships take on a new tone, and you perhaps begin considering a new future, together.
Sagittarius Love Horoscope
Venus goes retrograde in your love, dating, and romance sector this week, Sagittarius. This makes it important to not jump the gun when it comes to love and relating. You may get all too swept up in enthusiasm for a new person, thinking they’re the bee’s knees, yet once things come crashing down—as they often do—you might find yourself feeling quite disappointed. As hard as it is, Sagittarius, hold yourself back. Tame your fire. Let people prove who they are before you lose yourself in enthusiasm.
The other side of this is that you might experience exes coming back into your life now, making it extremely tempting to play with the idea that you ‘should’ get back together. Yet, should you really, Sagittarius? Can you also give this some time to fully unfold? It seems as if there are certain lessons that need to be learned right now rather than decisions that have to be made.
Capricorn Love Horoscope
This week all boils down to communication, Capricorn. What you say and how you say it has a huge impact, so pay close attention. You may be, at first, approaching a subject very cautiously, very carefully. Maybe you’re talking about a commitment, or where your relationship is headed. These are important conversations to have, Capricorn. Especially for someone like you, who needs safety and security.
The influence of Neptune with Mercury does lend you a softer tone, bringing a certain magic into the mix. If you are single, Capricorn, your social media profiles could perhaps do with an upgrade. How do you wish to portray yourself? And how does that affect what you’re going to attract, moving forward? Remembering to be authentic is the key so that you can attract people on the same vibration as you. The retrograde of Venus may, for those of you who are attached, bring up some shape material in the home space. But it’s nothing you can’t talk about, Capricorn.
Aquarius Love Horoscope
Being such a communicative sign, Aquarius, the retrograde of Venus may have you feeling a little stumped, unsure of what to say and how to say it. Be easy on yourself. You’re doing your best—everyone can see this, clear as day. At the same time, try not to be impulsive with your words. If there is someone you like, take a moment to breathe—do you really like them? Can they handle what it is that you have to say? Are you saying something just for the sake of it, or does it carry actual meaning? These may be a few questions to ask yourself, Aquarius. For as much charm as you have now, there is an edge to your words and you may come to regret your impulsiveness.
The other theme unfolding for you, Aquarius, is self-worth. How much do you value yourself, and how does that value filter out in terms of who you choose to relate to? Are you settling? Could you do better to state what’s important to you, and thus attract the kind of relationship you deserve?
Pisces Love Horoscope
The New Moon this week begs an important question, Pisces: how much do you value and love yourself, truly? What is it that your heart deeply yearns for? What do you truly desire? It’s not about pleasing anyone else, Pisces. Rather, it’s about taking care of you, first. The rest will follow naturally, as it always does. It can be a challenge to bring this focus back on you, most definitely. Especially being such a romantic sign, such as yourself. Nevertheless, Pisces, it’s time.
The Venus retrograde will also likely have you revealing what’s most important to you in terms of love. What are the values you hold dear, Pisces? Freedom? Connection? Depth? Integrity? Support? These are just a few things to reflect on and review. Take your time: this isn’t easy work, and neither is it very fast. Patience with this process is what will help set you up for the next relationship possible, now or in the future.
