You may be rethinking some of your past decisions, Sagittarius, and at this moment it may benefit the challenges you’ve experienced in your romantic life. This was meant to be a year of growth in your relationship, whether it led to an engagement or a separation; it was all about you working through your internal barriers to commitment and learning to choose the love you deserve—versus the one your childhood wounds conditioned you to accept.

It seems that not everything in your life has turned out as you had hoped, and you feel isolated now – if it seems difficult to find a quiet moment to be with your thoughts. There is a purpose to this current struggle, but you must put your ego aside to receive it.

On Wednesday, December 4, the Sagittarius Sun will sign off with Saturn in Piscescreate a crisis point within yourself and your romantic life. You may begin to doubt your recent decision to end a relationship or your healing. In many ways, this crisis will revolve around your identity and the truths you subscribe to about yourself.

This means that if you tell yourself that you’re never meant to get married, that’s the reality you’ll create – but it also means that if that inner voice still tells you that you’re not worthy of love, then it also reality you will experience.

Ultimately, it’s about healing yourself and letting go of some of the wounds from your childhood that have affected your choices in love. Nothing has been done yet that can’t be undone or changed, but you also don’t have to worry about other people’s opinions or let your pride get in the way.

A change of heart is a positive step towards self-growth, but in this case it also serves as a reminder that you are the only one who can change your romantic life for the better.

2. Cancer

Practice patience during this phase of your romantic life, Cancer. Remember, just because something isn’t happening now doesn’t mean it never will. Patience represents that this romantic manifestation requires more time to come together.

You have been feeling lighter recently and have become hopeful about the state of your life and your dreams for a future relationship. But you may encounter a challenge in the coming days that will test your ability to be patient and do what it takes to establish a new connection or heal an existing one. Leaning into the hope you feel for a challenging day should never stop you from following your heart.

Mercury in Sagittarius gets away with Saturn in Pisces on Friday, December 6, creating an obstacle to new beginnings in your romantic life. While this will affect attracting a new relationship or dating more significantly, it can also appear as a block in creating a new chapter in an existing connection. This obstacle is less about your romantic life and more about embodying everything you’ve recently learned about yourself.

You will be faced with a choice to return to older ways by abandoning yourself for love or the possibility of it, but try to hold on to what you have learned you deserve and accept nothing unless it is all you have ever wanted .

This test is not completely black and white as it seems that you will also be tasked with advocating for yourself for what you deserve and want, which was a lesson you have recently learned. Try to reflect on all that you have learned so that you can take on any challenge that the universe throws at you instead of shutting down your heart out of fear.

3. Leo

Love doesn’t have to be all or nothing, Leo, especially depending on your current stage in your relationship. While you pride yourself on following your heart, you’re also extremely protective of this part of yourself, which means you can also protect it to your detriment.

You may see your relationship or the state of your romantic life in a very black and white way, from the place of trying to protect your heart. When you realize that you can keep yourself safe and feel secure and stable regardless of the state of your relationship, you can also engage in a relationship process without rushing to an outcome.

On Saturday, December 7, Venus and Pluto square off in Aquarius, intensifying your emotions and likely leading to you become controlling in your relationship. This is about fear and trying to protect yourself, but you have to step back and see that you may be asking for more than is healthy now.

While your partner should have clear intentions about dating or a relationship, that doesn’t mean any ultimatums should be declared about going all in or ending the relationship altogether.

Focus on yourself during this time by working to create a secure attachment and exploring ways to keep yourself safe while letting this relationship play out. If not, this controlling nature can lead to the end of a relationship and later regret.

Also, be aware of any jealous tendencies that come out, especially if you compare your relationship to others or become resentful of your partner’s friendship. While these feelings are trying to show you something, they reveal more about where you are with yourself than your relationship.
