Here’s How July’s Second New Moon Will Affect Your Love Life, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
July 31, 2019 not only marks the end of Mercury retrograde, it's also the date of the second new moon in 30 days. According to astrologer Jamie Partridge of Astrology King, the planetary aspects of this new moon could shake things up. "This brings stress, anxiety and the potential for unexpected changes to your love life and finances," Partridge said. But how the July 31, 2019 new moon will affect your love life based on your zodiac sign largely depends on your ability to exercise patience versus acting on every impulse.
The second new moon in a single month is sometimes referred to as a black moon, and it only occurs every two years. While it's a relief that Mercury is finally going direct, the black moon will make it feel otherwise for some signs. "The July 31 new moon at 08°36′ Leo Sign is close to Venus," Partridge explained. "On its own, this is a very positive influence, especially for love and money. But the red square aspect to Uranus makes this a challenging influence."
A lot of things in life seem to come down to love or money. And no matter what your sign, you'll see changes in both of these areas of your life. However, just how the July 31 new moon will affect your love life based on your zodiac sign depends on several factors.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries, the July 31, 2019 new moon is going to be an emotional roller coaster for you. You'll feel loving, kind, and affectionate one minute and stressed and anxious the next. This could spill over into you love life if you act impulsively. If you end up in an argument with someone you love, count to five before you say something you can't take back.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, during the July 31, 2019 new moon in Leo you're totally going to fall in love — with your home. The energy of the new moon will inspire you to redecorate your living space to create a concept you truly love.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini, if Mercury retrograde has left you unable to communicate, the July 31, 2019 new moon is going to help you find your voice again. Use this gift to clearly communicate your needs to your partner in order to resolve any misunderstandings.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancer, your love life is always front and center. However, the July 31 new moon in Leo is going to make you fall in love with your career. This new moon is good luck for crabs, and you can expect some delightful surprises at work.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 23)
Aside from Taurus, few signs can hold a grudge like Virgo. However, in order to make progress in your love life, you're going to have to forgive and move on. During the July 31, 2019 new moon, say goodbye to old ghosts and open your heart to new possibilities.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Libra, the July 31, 2019 new moon is going to kick off two weeks of fun and friends. While you're busy living your best life, you could be introduced to someone new who might end up being a significant love interest.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
