Monthly Love Horoscope: July 2022 (2024)

Maybe it wasn’t meant to work out. Maybe it was meant to be a lesson. A wake-up call that’s nudging you to introspect on what it is that you are really seeking in a partnership, and get in alignment with your intentions. Honour this as a time of turning your gaze inwards, turning your wounds into wisdom and creating space for what it is that you truly desire in this lifetime. Rams who are already in a committed relationship are being asked to do the work as well. Issues around communication or lack thereof could be a constant. Instead of trying to read their mind or assuming the worst, start a dialogue about what’s really going on. This will help you find solutions to long-standing problems.

Power crystal: Mookaite jasper is known for its ability to ground and nurture. It will provide you with support you need during this time of transition.

You’ve been doing the work, Taurus. You’ve been transmuting the past trauma so you can show up as the most embodied version of yourself. At this stage of your healing, an ordinary romance simply won’t cut it. You want to be with somebody who’s committed to self-growth just as you are and is willing to put in the work it takes to build a steady foundation. Word for the wise: stay in the vibration of what you are calling in even when your three-dimensional reality is showing you another picture altogether. At the same time, learn to be assertive as and when required. Ask for your needs to be met and do so in an unapologetic manner. You are the change you’ve been looking for, beautiful.

Power crystal: Labradorite is a stone for transformation. It will render you with the gift of clarity and shatter the illusions that are standing in the way of you manifesting the life you truly desire for yourself.

You’re not looking for an ordinary romance, Gemini. You want big magic. You want quantum physics. You desire a partner-in-crime with whom you can set off on adventures with and explore the parts of the world that have been on your bucket list since the beginning of time. So, stay in the vibration of what you have been calling in as you give yourself the permission to take chances. The Universe is in the mood to surprise you in more ways than one! Coupled Twins are being reminded that a life of togetherness doesn’t always look like rainbows and sunshine. Both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ days are a part of the package. But, as long as you’re willing to meet the others where they are, you can experience a slice of paradise exactly where you are.

Power crystal: Carnelian to invoke the fire of passion and to take the kind of risks that you feel called to.

You are in the energy of it, moon child! You are in the life you have been manifesting for some time now. The real question is: will you open your heart and make space for what has always been yours? Dissolving the barriers is seldom an easy task. Give yourself the permission to experience vulnerability nonetheless knowing that this will bring you closer to the other. Single Cancerians are being reminded that it’s okay to feel jaded—we all do. What’s not okay is holding onto the pain and trauma so tightly that you’re unable to look beyond it. Begin to recognise the past patterns so you can release them with love. Working with a healer or therapist will prove to be highly beneficial at this time.

Power crystal: Yellow calcite is known to clear stagnant energy whilst bringing hope and optimism.

Big manifestation energy surrounds you, Leo! The kind that’s helping you call in a partnership that’s both stable and secure. Here’s the thing, though: when things look good—really good—our mind has a way of concocting problems and telling us that everything we have built will collapse around us like a house of cards. Beware of this tendency, beautiful. Moving into a space of stillness will help you tell the difference between what’s real from what’s merely a figment of your imagination. For some of you, navigating distance may be a major theme in the months to come. Trust the foundation of what you have built together. You have the emotional maturity required to deal with the challenges that could potentially come up in this time period.

Power crystal: Amazonite is known for its soothing properties. It will help you communicate your truth without getting overly emotional about matters.

You may have started off with the intention of keeping things casual, but you’re realising there’s more. There’s more to this connection than meets the eye, Virgo. This month, you’re being asked to meditate on what it is that you truly desire. Then ask yourself whether or not you visualise the given suitor as a part of this future. Answering in the affirmative is a sign you need to hold space for the conversation you’ve been thinking about for a while now. What the cards are reminding you: don’t be afraid to lead with your heart. Virgos who are already in a committed relationship are being encouraged to change things up. To sign up for a dance class, sign up for a couple's retreat or travel to a new destination together. If it reignites the fire within, it means you’re on the right track.

Power crystal: Harness the magic of garnet to deepen your commitment towards each other.

The month ahead isn’t so much about ‘the other’ as it is about you and your relationship with yourself. So, commit to self-growth, Libra. Challenge yourself to grow differently and do all the things that you once considered impossible. The less you worry about finding love, the more love is going to worry about finding you. Yes, it all comes down to making that vibrational shift! If you are already in a committed relationship, make ‘interdependence’ your power word. Find a way to balance your needs with that of your partner’s. Learning that you don’t have to heal or fix everything will help you find peace, harmony and freedom.

Power crystal: Associated with your ruling planet Venus, rhodochrosite will awaken your compassion and help you deepen your love for yourself.

We love a good love story, don’t we? We yearn for the butterflies that come with discovering a brand new connection. But, what happens when the glitter wears off? What happens when the rose-tinted glasses come off? Do you continue to play the role of the ‘lovers’ or begin to aspire for something more? This month, you are being presented with the opportunity to start afresh. To lay down the foundation of the life you want to live together—the kind that is built on mutual respect and trust. Don’t shy away from putting your expectations on the table or having the important conversations you need to. What the Universe is reminding you: you’ll never be *too much* for the right person.

Power crystal: Jade will help bring the gift of harmony and longevity into your connection.

Sagittarius, you’re in the energy of it! You are closer to attracting your soulmate than you have ever been before. Instead of ‘chasing love’, continue to work on yourself. Commit to showing up as the most integrated version of yourself—every single day. Yes, this will require you to face your shadows and dissolve the barriers that are keeping you from experiencing the divine union you desire on a soul level. What the Universe is reminding you: It’s safe for you to open your heart again. It’s safe for you to let somebody into your sacred space. Coupled archers are being reminded that they are in the life they manifested a long time ago. That they are blessed with the support of a partner who cares about them deeply and is genuinely invested in their growth. Yes, you will face challenges in your external reality, and that’s okay. There is no mountain you cannot climb as long as you’re playing on the same team.

Power crystal: Known as ‘the stone of transformation’, charoite will render you with the ability to start afresh.

This is it, Capricorn! You are in the life you imagined for yourself a long time ago. It’s all coming together for you in the most unexpected manner. Trust that you are in the energy of positive change and that things will get better from here. Remember to affirm this every time your mind brings the past up or gives you the false narrative that your life will come crumbling down like a house of cards. Given that the Goddesses of Fertility are on your side, you may even feel inspired to start a family in the months to come. On the downside, some of you may find yourself entangled with a partner who’s dealing with an addiction or a self-destructive pattern of some sort. Render them with the support they need at this time without making their trauma your own. Understanding where you end and others begin is an important lesson for you right now.

Power crystal: Work with the mahogany obsidian to ground, protect and shield your energy field.

Life has been more than generous towards you. You have experienced love in all its glory and in a multitude of forms. So, you’re no longer chasing the thrill of the new. The idea of texting/dating multiple people at once does nothing to you. You desire the safety that comes with the known. You want to go home to somebody who understands you—mind, body, and soul. ‘‘Your wishes are my commands!’’ is what the Universe is whispering to you right now. Water bearers who’ve been flying solo are being reminded to look no further than their soul circle. What you will realise in the process is that love at first sight is overrated.

Power crystal: Associated with the element of water, aquamarine is known for its calming and soothing properties. It will help you dive deeper into the emotional realms.

What you’re experiencing right now is a classic case of opposites attract. But, this is neither a good nor a bad thing. It is an opportunity for you to understand the world through a lens that’s wildly different from your own. Accepting that the dissimilarities as you accept the similarities will help both you and your relationship grow. For coupled Pisceans, July 2022 looks just as promising. You are stepping into a time of love, passion and harmony. Working together or supporting each other’s ventures may also be on the cards for some. So, if you’ve been thinking about investing in a dream project together, now is the time to do so!

Power crystal: Green aventurine for good juju and success in all of your ventures.
