Your Weekly Horoscope Says Major Changes Are In Store, So Hang On Tight & Expect The Unexpected

Stay tuned, because your horoscope for the week of July 25 to July 31 is about to get real. This month has been filled with ups and downs, but it’s all leading up to a groundbreaking moment this week. As Venus—planet of love—squares off with Jupiter—planet of growth—on July 28, you’re starting off on an enthusiastic note, so let your heart lead the way.

However, on Tuesday, a square-off between big talker Mercury in proud Leo and Mars—the powerful planet of action—in stubborn Taurus certainly won’t help the matter. The paranoid energy produced when these two fixed cosmic personalities clash creates enough confusion and suspicion to make you want to retreat from battle and not trust or engage with another human for quite some time.

Leo

Strut around like royalty and let everyone hear you roar when the new moon is in your sign on Thursday. This is a great day to get creative with your work or your appearance to bring you some major confidence. Focus on feeling good in your own skin, Leo!

However, it isn’t all good vibes on Thursday, because Jupiter turns retrograde in Aries that day. With the planet of luck moving backward in your expansion zone, you might make some unpleasant discoveries about your long-held beliefs. Open your stubborn mind and realize that you’re not always right.

Fortunately, this week ends on a positive note when the sun in your sign trines Jupiter on Sunday, encouraging you to hit the road to fulfill your wanderlust. This is a great day to use the gift of travel to learn more about yourself and the world.

Change isn’t easy. In fact, you might have to deal with some growing pains when Jupiter goes into retrograde in Aries and your transformation zone on Thursday. Spend the next few weeks learning to let go of the past or it will haunt you for a long time. Be brave, Virgo.
