Weekly Horoscope for July 28: Loving Through the Storm.

Friction in relationships can either make things hot or bring irritation. There’s rarely any in-between. This week, Venus squares Uranus. As Venus transits fiery Leo, imagine a fierce queen sitting on her throne. She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it, charging full speed ahead. The noble star has passionate aims. She wants to conquer her desires. As plans are handwritten, a sudden gust of wind destroys her focus. Her paper, full of rich ideas and intentions, is blown away.

This week, Leo Venus meets a square or is challenged by Uranus. We have one idea of how love, romance, or ourrelationships should go. Our best bet is to expect the unexpected. We may feel entitled to what we want, but the Universe has other plans. This week, humble yourself. Reorient your focus on situations within your control in your connections. Remain patient. The rest will be sorted out after any random shifts.

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE

ARIES 

This week asks you to balance free-spirited desire with sustainable joy, Aries. As Leo Venus is squared by disruptive Uranus, be realistic in your interpersonal expectations. Fun, childlike wonder, silliness pause. You’re confronted with an external obstacle. The solution requires you to be level-headed, practical, and in tune with your morals regarding romantic shifts. It’s not so fun at first glance. However, the party isn’t necessarily over. After mundane details are sorted, expectations are managed, and boundaries are set, lovers’ good times can resume. 

TAURUS

You may feel at odds with who you are becoming and who you’ve historically been. This week, Leo Venus squares Uranus. Shifts in our relationships arise. Unexpected disruptions reveal deeper truths. Sometimes, familiarity isn’t as comforting as it is stagnant to our growth. You’re asked to initiate a new approach in your connections that reflects your higher self. If you settle for outdated patterns, replicating what was normalized in your upbringing, you hurt yourself. Dare to pave your path. The first way to do so is to choose interpersonal dynamics that push you to evolve.

GEMINI

You cannot bite your tongue and hold back your emotions this week, Gemini. It’s time to pour your heart out. Leo Venus squares Uranus. Disruptions in your connections illuminate your subconscious sector. Past or recent relationship drama has felt easier to ignore or suppress than confront. However, this week won’t allow you to continue denying your intuition. Conversations are to be had. By being authentic with yourself about your feelings, you allow yourself to identify challenges you’ve swept under the rug. Transparency and communication uplift your relationships, even if temporary tensions arise first.

CANCER 

Don’t get lost in the hive mindset this week, Cancer. Leo Venus squares Uranus. Disruptions in your connections urge you to take a moment to pause and reflect. You may not agree with what your coworkers, friends, or colleagues are up to. Or, you struggle to socially resonate with others. Your goals and aims for the future are shifting. This can leave you feeling misunderstood in your connections if you do not relate or agree with those around you. Take the time to catch others up with where you’re at. Sharing what you desire or need won’t drive a wedge in authentic relationships. 

LEO 

Who you truly are and how you’re being seen may be at odds this week. Leo Venus squares Uranus. You’re outgrowing an old self-identity. As you shed layers, know it may take time for the internal shifts to reflect externally. This may confuse your loved ones, as they’re used to you thinking, feeling, or seeing life differently. Take the time to work out miscommunications. While tensions may feel high at first, you’ll likely find that obstacles were only meant to trigger a deeper connection. Being misunderstood can be resolved with transparency.

VIRGO

Blindspots regarding your line of thinking are revealed this week, Virgo. Disruptive Uranus squares Venus, creating unexpected shifts. Your relationships have much to teach you. While these lessons may come through twists and turns to the original plot, welcome its growth. Deeper truths are illuminated. By doing so, you’re challenged to release outdated philosophies and beliefs that do not support trust, intimacy, and mutual growth. To obtain the love life you crave, you must remove the internal, intellectual blocks hindering intimacy.

LIBRA 

We often see friendships as a place where we need to be nonchalant. Remaining detached and unbothered can bring us the illusion that we care less than we truly do. Venus squares Uranus this week. Deeper truths are revealed in platonicconnections. You’re no longer able to force distance. A heart-to-heart is needed to clear the air. On the other hand, you may feel connections have been outgrown. Honor your intuition and the gut instincts you have about your social circles. While disruptions are temporary, they deliver food for thought.

SCORPIO 

To get where you want to go, don’t underestimate your relationships. Venus squares Uranus. Relationships are swept up in unexpected currents of change. While you may want to focus on your career and goals objectively, connections pull on your heartstrings, Scorpio. You’ll find you can go further if you ask for support or help. A partnership, whether of a professional or intimate nature, will illuminate your blind spots. Don’t be mad at the mirror. What’s been avoided is simply being reflected on you. 

SAGITTARIUS 

Life is as expansive or as mundane as you believe it is. Leo Venus is confronted by disruptive Uranus. Your relationships will urge you to get realistic about your needs, Sagittarius. Limiting ideas about life is leading you to burnout. You may be accepting less than you’re worth, believing that you need to give your all with little in return. To preserve your mind, body, and spirit, introspection is required. If you’re handed the opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, run full speed ahead. There’s little wisdom to be found in doing the same things repetitively. 

CAPRICORN

You can no longer laugh things off. Heightened emotions arise this week, pushing you to dive deeper into your relationships. Romantic Venus squares disruptive Uranus. Temporary conflicts enable you to let out your feelings without limiting filters. Welcome transparency in yourself and others, even if it’s tough to swallow at first. This is how trust is built, Capricorn. While you may have felt the need to downplay your desires or concerns, this transit will push you to question that narrative. There’s a way to enjoy loved ones’ company without suppression.

AQUARIUS

You’re confronted with a relationship test this week. When familiar challenging patterns or circumstances arise, will you take the bait, Aquarius? Or will you change the narrative of your connections? Your family, chosen or inherited, may trigger you this week. Past emotions arise. These are to be felt unapologetically so that you can truly heal. If you are to push them back down, they will only pop up at inappropriate times. Your connections can reach the next level should you practice conflict resolution skills. Allow space for your inner child to express themselves. However, don’t make that introspection someone else’s responsibility.

PISCES

Your beliefs and opinions shape your experience of love. It’s time to open your mind to new truths. There’s more to life than what you have lived, Pisces. Venus squares Uranus. This challenges your relationships. You may have believed that love is all about sacrifice. To prove that you care, you take it all on. It’s time to shed the outdated. To be understood, set boundaries. To preserve your connections, say what you need. Don’t expect that others understand that you’re giving nature is draining you. Tell them and allow support to come in.
