Venus is the planet of love, and in this earth sign, it helps you express love in a more practical way.

This energy requires that you see beyond the chemistry and embrace the small moments and practical details that go into building a life with the one you love.

You deserve to feel your best, Aries. Venus in Virgo is a time for you to reinvest in yourself and the ways you show yourself love.

Be careful about how you look at your partner and relationship on Thursday, Taurus. Venus in Virgo is a chance for you both to show one another how much you truly care. Yet it may also make you see only faults.
No one is perfect, including you and your partner. Don't point out everything you deem as wrong, and instead adopt a partnership mentality. Focus on working together to better your relationship.
Gemini

Don't assume that your partner doesn’t want to help or that you have to carry everything on your own, Gemini. On July 9, ask for help. Be honest about what you need, whether it’s help around the house or you’re struggling with major issues.
You can’t go around feeding off your frustrations when you haven’t actually said how you feel or what you need. Asking for help won’t only save you from future arguments, but it will help to improve your life together.
Cancer

Make sure you’re paying attention to the details, Cancer. As Venus moves into Virgo on Thursday, you are going to see love through a new and realistic lens. This helps you let go of blind idealism and instead be willing to invest in the work that real love requires.
Use this time to pay attention to the details. Be willing to ask the questions that help you figure out the future of this connection.
Leo

Don’t lose sight of the big picture, Leo. While Venus in Virgo brings your focus to the small moments and details, don't let yourself be consumed by them. This can make you base what you give on what you're getting, but that attitude won’t bring the results you want.
Love isn’t quantitative, nor can it be reduced to an itemized spreadsheet. While the details are important, you can’t lose sight of what truly matters to you.
Virgo

As Venus moves into your zodiac sign on Thursday, you are encouraged to have grace for yourself, Virgo. This energy helps you accept and love yourself on a new level. It also attracts more of what is on your energy frequency.
Venus is a manifesting planet. On July 9, it’s important to be clear about what you want so that you can more easily attract it into your life. Having grace for yourself helps you create the space for new love to enter.
Libra

Your intuition isn’t something you can rationalize or always make sense of, Libra. Virgo likes logic and proof, but that can't be applied to the spiritual realm.
On July 9, don’t doubt yourself or what you feel. Don't question the choices you’ve already made, either. Deep within your heart, you know the direction you are meant to take. Don’t let anything stop you.
Scorpio

Venus in Virgo brings a complicated energy to your romantic life, Scorpio, as it indulges your judgmental side. You are only human, but you can’t judge someone and love them at the same time.
On Thursday, instead of criticizing those you care about, seek to understand and support them. People don’t become their best selves by being put down, but by knowing that no matter what happens, they are already loved for who they are.
Sagittarius

Don’t be so hard on yourself, Sagittarius. You are usually optimistic and see the best in any situation. However, Venus in Virgo brings about a reality check that makes you question your choices.
On July 9, be sure you’re not being overly critical of yourself or moving your milestones for success. Focus on what truly matters and who your heart wants. That is the only detail that matters.
Capricorn

Open yourself up to the greater meaning of love, Capricorn. Venus in Virgo is a chance for you to receive the answers you’ve been seeking in your romantic life. This is a time of greater clarity and understanding that helps improve your confidence and trust.
On Thursday, travel with your partner. Delve into books that stretch your mind and heart. Let yourself see that some love really does come around only once in a lifetime.
Aquarius

You have nothing to apologize for when it comes to what you genuinely need from love, Aquarius. You have been through so much, and you already know love is never a fairytale. Yet that doesn’t mean it can’t be what you’ve dreamed of.
On July 9, while Venus is in Virgo, sort through any practical aspects of life with your partner, including finances. Honor the kind of consistency you desire and don’t shy away from saying what you really need.
Pisces

Fall for someone who improves your life, Pisces. Instead of romance only being exciting or soul-searching, it’s time to choose someone who actually makes your life better. Your partner should bring lightness to your life.
While your past relationships made life more difficult, loving the right person makes your life easier. On July 9, be discerning in who you share your energy with. Don’t forget that love can and should be effortless.
