Your weekly horoscope. July 28 to August 3, 2025

This week, tenderness will engulf us, but not before dragging us through a couple of trials. This bittersweet combination will be courtesy of the love planet itself, Venus. The beauty goddess’ namesake will slip into the comforting embrace of Cancer. Right the next day, it will spectacularly butt heads with not just one but two celestial bodies. The double trouble will come in the form of Venus square Saturn and Venus square Neptune. But let’s cover each occurrence in more detail. 

On July 31, Venus will enter the most sensitive and home-loving constellation out there, Cancer. Affection will flow deeper than words. You’ll crave all things associated with tender loving: warm hugs, home-cooked meals, and midnight pillow talks. Along with things cozy and fuzzy, past hurts might come to haunt you. But they don’t call Venus the embodiment of harmony for nothing. It will grant you enough energy to heal your emotional wounds. 

Right the next day, on August 1, all that tenderness and affection might fly right out of the window, if only for a brief moment. Venus will find itself at odds with Saturn, the stern teacher, and Neptune, a misty dreamer. 

Venus square Saturn will cause all warmth to evaporate from your relationship, leaving only the heavy weight of commitments and a bitter taste of financial squabbles. The best thing you can do? Soldier through this period, cradling the love spark despite the winds.  

Venus square Neptune will make the waters of your affection muddy. You will question whether you are really meant to be together or whether they are just stuck with you. You might find solace in escapist pleasures, but you’d be wise to stay away from those. Instead, learn the lesson the dreamy planet is teaching you - love needs a bit of magic. 

This week sounds like a bit too much for you to handle? Here is how you can make it work:
