Your daily love horoscope for July 5, 2023

The Moon has just entered Aquarius, which means we will have trouble processing our feelings without intellectualizing them. Anger, rage, and jealousy are too much to handle, but when we’re in the presence of the people we love—our friends, family, and romantic partner—life feels a little easier. It’s an ideal time to spend the day with your loved ones, as they will make you feel less alone as you process these difficult emotions.

To learn how the Aquarius Moon affects your sign, read more below.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries, your friends are your wall today as the Moon enters Aquarius. You’re having trouble with your feelings because of a recent event—maybe you’ve just broken up with a romantic partner, having trouble in your current relationship, or dealing with problems at home—but when you’re with friends, all of it seems to go away. Spending time with them as you struggle is a good idea, but make sure you’re not using them to run away from your problems that need solving. 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus, you don’t have time for feelings today as you focus more on advancing your career. You’re on a winning streak, and you don’t want to break it by being overcome with emotion. Even if you’re having problems in your personal life, you force yourself to compartmentalize. Don’t use your career to disguise your fear of intimacy, Taurus. Stop using it as an excuse to neglect your personal relationships.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini, you’re opening yourself up to new knowledge today and it fuels your journey toward character development. If you believe you’re always right, today you’ll start to learn that other people’s opinions are worth listening to if it helps you improve yourself. In your romantic relationships, this will help you reach a healthy compromise with your partner each time you have an argument. Let yourself learn these new things and you will emerge a better person in the end. 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer, intimacy is a little hard for you today as the Moon approaches Aquarius. You will feel like you need to hide your emotions because you don’t want to burden anyone, but as you do this, know that you’re only hurting yourself. You will feel like you have to be calm and composed every time a challenge arises, that you need to be rational all the time, but that’s not how your relationships become meaningful. You’re not a robot, Cancer. Vulnerability is scary, for sure, but when you’re around people who love you, know that the risk is always worth it.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leo, today you will approach relationships with a critical eye. You’re a little more critical of your close friends and their borderline problematic opinions on issues, and your standards for a partner are becoming even higher. Maybe it comes from your own self-expectation for everything to be perfect, Leo. Remember that perfect is the enemy of the good, so don’t let your perfectionism prevent you from appreciating the beauty of love and life.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo, you’re trying your best to get your life in order today. You’re cleaning your house, sorting out your schedule, and doing your finances, and you will not be able to relax until everything is in order. This attitude will spill out into your relationships as well. You will want to fix your partner and friends’ problems, and it makes you feel worthless when you’re not able to do that. You don’t have to find the answer to every question, Virgo. Being there for your loved ones is often more than enough, even if you’re not able to provide a perfect solution to their problems.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libra, you’re not hiding the fact that you want to find love, but at the same time, you’re scared of showing emotion. You feel you have to be rational and composed all the time, to show no emotion, to smile and nod politely even when you’re dying inside. But you’re not a porcelain doll, Libra. Don’t let your need for perfection prevent you from showing your feelings, because it’s not your looks alone that make you lovable—it’s your heart and soul. 

Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)

Scorpio, there’s no place like home—but even in the four walls of the place you call home, you feel the need to hide your feelings. Regardless of if your family is by blood or chosen, you feel they only love you because of what you project on the outside, and not who you are inside. Know that you’re loveable even with all your flaws and insecurities, Scorpio. You don’t have to hide your true self to be worthy of love.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) 

You’re an intellectual, Sagittarius, and today the Aquarius Moon makes you confident enough to talk passionately about your intellectual pursuits and interests. When someone asks you about an abstract concept, you’re able to explain it with ease. But when asked about your feelings, you find yourself tongue-tied. When you’re around that one person, you find yourself fumbling for words. It’s okay to have trouble processing your feelings, Sagittarius. You’re a work in progress, and I’m sure your EQ will be just as high as your IQ when you give yourself room for growth.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) 

Capricorn, you’re getting your finances in order today, and you’re feeling remorse from some of the impulse purchases you’ve made in the past. You feel you should not have spent that much money when you went out on a date with your partner, and you’re regretting buying all those things for them even if it made them happy. But there’s no point regretting what’s already done. If your past decisions made someone happy, it’s not all bad. Remember that you can only control what you do in the present—focus on that.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

The Moon comes home to your very own first house of the self today, Aquarius, and it makes you feel so uncomfortable when you feel complicated feelings. So instead of simply letting yourself feel them, you intellectualize them. You think: My anger is a trauma response. My crush on this person is a product of tendencies I’m not in control of. But this is not how you cope with difficult feelings, Aquarius. The only way you can understand them is if you let yourself sit with the discomfort of feeling them.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) 

Pisces, the Moon in Aquarius urges you to connect with your inner self, but you find yourself intellectualizing everything you discover about who you are. You think back to your family history and what made you who you are, your parents’ behavior that caused you to search for love in the wrong places, but that’s not the right path toward self-understanding, Pisces. As you uncover the reasons behind your trauma, instead of rationalizing them, let yourself feel them. Show yourself compassion, because you deserve that.
