Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius will align with retrograde Mars in Leo on Saturday, December 14, creating discord, confusion, and challenges in each zodiac sign’s romantic life and love horoscope predictions.
Mercury will align with Mars, asking you to reflect on your motivations and desires. As Mercury and Mars align today, you are being urged to practice patience. Give yourself time to reflect before rushing into any decisions, including whether to end or begin a new relationship.
The universe is giving you time to be sure of your choices, so rushing ahead would only create greater challenges in the future. Slow down, take time to yourself, journal, and allow yourself to feel this space of reflection, knowing it will only benefit you and the desires of your heart.

Today may feel especially challenging, dear Aries, as you are being urged to reflect on your romantic desires — and the choices that you’ve made in the past. Although you want to move into a new beginning, you can’t bypass this phase of processing and healing.
There is a major truth you’ve been avoiding or haven’t had the time to acknowledge yet. This truth centers around why you’ve experienced what you have in relationships and what you can do differently to ensure a happier future.
Give yourself time today to receive this truth, trusting that it will help you in any future relationship — or to heal an existing one.
Taurus

You may be feeling stuck right now, sweet Taurus. But you have to remember that everything seems like it isn’t how it is at this moment. It may seem challenging or impossible to make the changes that you’re seeking, yet it’s this feeling that will help you understand what it is you truly want.
Rather than give up on any desires for change, let yourself see that feeling stuck indicates that you’ve outgrown where you are so that as the planets shift, you can start making plans to build the life you want.
Gemini

You don’t have to have a conversation until you’re truly ready for it, Gemini. While the universe has been urging you to hold off having any deciding conversations until Mercury stations direct on December 15, it may feel difficult to avoid today. You’ve been able to remain patient this long; there is no reason to let your temper or frustration get the best of you now.
Remember to remember that no matter how much your partner wants to talk today, you can still decide if it truly resonates with you. It will be better to wait if you can, especially as you may be feeling more confused than ever at this moment.
Cancer

You must protect your peace, Cancer. Although events in your life are beginning to take a positive turn, it doesn’t mean that you can let your guard down. You deserve joy and love in this new chapter of your life; however, you also need to take all the time you need to heal.
This includes finding happiness and fulfillment if you’re single and not rushing too quickly into a new relationship just because you’re free to do so. Continue to honor what you are worth and trust that by focusing on yourself, you will attract what and who is meant for you.
Leo

Although it may feel like you need to get something off your chest today, Leo, you should try to wait. You are going through an immense phase of self-growth with Mars retrograde in your zodiac sign, representing that what you think is truth may shift the more you learn about yourself.
Try to express the journey you’re on and the confusion you are currently feeling rather than simply making statements that could end your relationship or have you committing to a new one. You will have clarity soon, but right now, you need to be careful with what you say so you don’t regret it in the future.
Virgo

Some shifts are coming to your relationship and home life, dear Virgo. But it’s a process you must be patient with, if that doesn’t always feel like your strong suit. The key to being able to show up for this process begins with honoring your healing, dreams and intuition.
You don’t need to settle for anything but must listen to your inner self. You deserve to have everything you’ve always dreamed of, but that can only happen when you know it’s possible. Take your time when making any decisions, and ensure you are taking time to tune into your inner self.
Libra

Take all the time that you need, sweet Libra. There is no reason to let others rush you to make a decision or even for anyone around you to influence your decisions.
This Mercury retrograde has felt especially powerful as it’s occurred in your house of communication, making any decisions or clarity difficult.
While today is an excellent day for reflecting, it does not support conversations with your partner or any decisions. You need to be sure about what you want, without the interference of others, so that you can feel confident about the direction you are taking in your life.
Scorpio

Although you may focus on professional matters today, Scorpio, it doesn’t mean there isn’t some wisdom to glean from your romantic life.
While you are trying to honor emerging desires of success for your career, it also ties in with your relationship as you are becoming less able to accept or agree to anything that doesn’t feel like it honors your worth.
This may make boundaries especially meaningful today as you decide internally about what you want your life to be and, more importantly, the kind of partner that truly aligns with who you’ve become.
Sagittarius

You are on a path to newness, Sagittarius, but you need time to sort through everything you’re feeling first. As the planets meet today, there may be regret about the choices you’ve made in your life.
These regrets are feelings that have surfaced before, but you’ve mostly tried to push or excuse them away; however, today, you must allow yourself to sit with them. Being honest with yourself about your regrets can help you gain clarity about what you want for your future; just try not to get into a space of self-sabotage or being down on yourself.
Capricorn

As you dive deeper into your healing, Capricorn, you also can improve your romantic relationship. Nothing is random, especially when it comes to love. So rather than just thinking this is the way you are, or there is no room for improvement, allow time to self-reflect or meditate.
You are guided to understand how you have approached creating a relationship and the changes that love brings into your life. By allowing time to understand yourself deeply, you will be able to grow closer to your partner and feel greater confidence in committing to the one you love.
Aquarius

Connecting with those around you is a great benefit, dear Aquarius. While, at times, talking about your relationship with others only serves to complicate matters, in the current situation, it will allow you to develop a deeper understanding and shift your perspective.
Anytime there is a challenge in a relationship, it is never solely the responsibility of one person. Instead, there is always something to learn or shift to allow for improvements and certainty that you are in the relationship meant for you. Talk through matters with those closest to you, but give yourself time before making final decisions.
Pisces

You will always set the tone for the love that you receive, sweet Pisces. This is more than just loving yourself; it comes down to how you value yourself and your energy.
You may want to plan some alone time today or a fun evening out with friends that can remind you of how it feels to be around those who truly value and honor who you are.
Romantic matters will be challenging right now as it will likely feel like you and your partner are on two different pages, but rather than force any issue, use this time to refocus on yourself and what makes you feel your best.
