Look for Love in a New Location

It's time to expand your romantic horizons, whether by planning an exotic getaway with your current partner or exploring fresh territory in search of a new one. Travel is especially valuable to your romantic life this month as the New Moon on July 2 falls in your 9th house of faraway places. Even if you can't take a trip, dreaming about one can inspire you and provide the sense of excitement in which love can be found and flourish. Education is another constructive way to improve your personal life. Whether it's meeting someone in a class or lecture or just opening your mind to different ideas, your heart is likely to follow your head now.

In fact, your ruling planet Mars, usually filled with passion, is treading a more careful path in practical Virgo this month. While fun is certainly possible, it's likely to be taken in a more sober fashion than usual. Seriousness is especially likely on July 10 when Mars runs into stern Saturn, perhaps taking some steam out of your personal life. It is, though, a time when discipline and dedication can take hold in ways that will reward you in the future. Clear communication is called for around the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 18. It falls in your 3rd house of information, requiring precision and patience to get your message across effectively. Energy rises and your mood should lift on July 26 when you get some emotional wind in your sails. Coming across with confidence and making a heart connection should be easier in the days that follow.
