The truth isn’t always easy to accept, Aries. As Neptune stations retrograde in your sign on July 7, you must learn how to sit with yourself and your feelings.
This energy helps you see where you’ve been disillusioned about your relationship and romantic life. While it represents a major turning point, you have to understand that it is in your best interest. Just because you want a relationship to be destiny doesn't mean it is.
Taurus

Your intuition isn’t always logical, nor is it convenient, Taurus. It doesn’t ask what you’re ready for, or even what you want. Instead, it gives you exactly what you need.
Starting on July 7, Neptune retrograde is a crucial time for you to listen to your intuition and learn what it means to trust your inner self. This wisdom helps you improve your romantic life and make the decisions you need to honor your truth.
Gemini

It’s not always easy to see the full truth of those who surround you, Gemini, but you must. Whether this is a romantic partner or friend, you have to deal with the truth of a situation instead of only what you perceive.
This person has been consciously trying to pretend regarding their feelings or intentions. On Tuesday, it’s up to you to remove any illusions and deal with the truth.
Cancer

You have to work with the truth in order to further your dreams, Cancer. Neptune retrograde isn’t a time when everything you’ve built will fall apart, but you may need to shift your strategy.
Instead of just hoping, you need to be sure you’re showing up for the moments that require effort and honesty. On July 7, don’t shy away from hard conversations or asking the questions that may bring the answers you're afraid of.
Leo

Just because things don’t go according to plan doesn’t mean it’s all a waste, Leo. You’ve been steadily moving toward a new chapter in your life. However, on July 7, Neptune retrograde slows your progress and makes sure you are headed in the right direction.
In your relationship, this comes across as having to deal with reality instead of staying in the love bubble of a new romance. It also brings a chance to check in with yourself to make sure you are actually heading in the direction you think you are.
Virgo

Admitting you are wrong is an act of love, Virgo. As Neptune retrograde begins on Tuesday, remember that everything that happens is for your greatest good.
You aren’t expected to be perfect. You hold yourself to a much higher standard than the person you love expects of you. You’re allowed to make mistakes and to grow, but admitting it and owning it is an important step.
Libra

Accept the truth when you finally see it, Libra. Starting on July 7, Neptune retrograde in Aries is a profound time in your romantic life that helps you see if the choices you’ve been making are the right ones.
This reveals the truth of the person you’ve been dating and your relationship. It may rip those rose-colored glasses off in a difficult way, and ask that you confront your own karmic patterns. While this is meant to reveal the truth of your romantic life, it’s also meant to kickstart your own healing.
Scorpio

Not all love is real, Scorpio. You can have all the faith in the world, but it doesn’t mean that what you hope for will come to fruition. This is why you need to practice healthy boundaries and advocate for yourself instead of running away.
This will all be tested as Neptune stations retrograde on July 7. Yet, you will also be able to make important changes or finally acknowledge a change of heart.
Sagittarius

Seeing the truth of yourself changes everything, Sagittarius. Whether you have been trying to make something work that isn’t meant to, or running from what you genuinely love, on July 7, you are entering a period of reckoning.
Whatever you’ve put out into the universe will come back during Neptune retrograde. Whatever you’ve avoided will have to be dealt with. Be sure you’re focusing on your part in everything and not just shifting the blame.
Capricorn

Love needs to be fostered, Capricorn. An amazing relationship or happy home life doesn’t just happen on its own. Doesn't just accidentally last forever. Instead, it is the result of effort and commitment.
On Tuesday, you realize that putting your relationship on autopilot hasn’t actually served your interests. Now, you are ready to do the real work of what it means to love and build a life together.
Aquarius

Your value has never been connected to what you do or what you have, Pisces. You deserve to be loved for more than what you bring to the table.
As Neptune retrograde begins on July 7, this phase is all about learning that you are worthy of love, no matter what. Stop trying so hard for something that you deserve to receive effortlessly.
