July 23 - August 22

A few exes are hitting you up on social media to check in. And, while you appreciate their kind messages, you don't necessarily want to restart a relationship with them. Too much time has passed — even though there are things that should be said on both ends for closure, it’s not worth the heartbreak and tears. You’re moving forward. Words of advice: Do not resuscitate the relationship no matter how tempting it is. Leave them on read to gently let them know you’re in another head and heart space.

August 23 - September 22

School hasn’t begun but you are already starting to stress over your upcoming schedule. Before you spin out of control over worry, consider augmenting your class load to ensure that you have enough time to decompress throughout the week. If you are taking on more than you can chew this semester, now is the time to reevaluate your extracurricular activities and obligations. You deserve to have some fun. After all, you should enjoy time with your friends and utilize the weekends to unwind in a social setting. Life flies by — the time to live is now.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

You're yearning to connect to something that is bigger than you in an effort to channel change and positivity here on earth. This could mean aligning with a humanitarian project or charity that speaks to your spirit. However, you won’t want to take the regular path when uniting with these groups, as you’ll create your own method of raising money for them. Post art or jewelry online and try to sell them with the intention of donating the money you acquire. You’re now a rebel with a cause, who aspires to help the world and those living on it.

October 23 - November 21

Your so-called buddies are waiting for you to be so busy that you forget about important stuff you have to do for your boss or relationship. They’ve been eyeing your significant other or wanting to fill your shoes at work. While they wait for you to be distracted by something else, you’ll begin to see their incentives clearly. The most important factor is that you’ll never give them this opportunity. No one will ever catch you slipping enough that they can slide into your life or play games behind your back. Now that they’re caught, say goodbye to your frenemy.

November 22 - December 21

When you’re racing the clock to get things done, you're not doing your best work. This is why you should try not to put yourself in situations that require you to meet last minute deadlines with seconds to spare. Remember this sentiment when you are packing up for college and preparing for the school year to begin. You should give yourself time to make sure you attain everything on your checklist. If not, you’ll be scrambling, full of anxiety and stress, and forget about a lot of things you need to do. Haste makes waste this week.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

It’s not that you’re the one causing problems with others, but a member of your squad is overstepping their boundaries with a friend of yours and that is creating tension between you and everyone involved. You’ll have to disconnect yourself from the whole situation because, no matter whose side you choose, you’ll be guilty by association. Stay in your lane and try not to swerve into others. Listen to this advice and don’t let any issues get in the way of your happiness. Your pals can figure out their own problems now.

January 20 - February 18

For the first time in a long time, your heart is on fire and filled with desire. Unfortunately, your crush is pulling away from you because you were too aloof for a while. Before you let your head spin with negative thoughts, move to action instead. There is only one way to win them back into your life: Give them a few days to feel their feels and to decide what they want. They’ll be back. They just need time to think right now.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

You’ve been feeling as though you owe people explanations for why you are keeping to yourself and wanting privacy right now. TBH, you don’t owe anyone anything. As long as you’re showing up for your summertime gig and doing your assigned chores at home, you can maintain the focus on yourself. The reason for your introverted behavior is that you’re exhausted from work and all the outside noise. You need a break and that is why you’re embracing a moment of chill with some R & R. No one deserves this more than you — try to enjoy it.

March 21 - April 19

An old friend is reaching out and wanting to reconnect. Even though you had a major falling out with them, you’re willing to hear them out and hopefully have the chance to make amends. We all have our flaws and some of us never want to admit to them. However, if you both want to make things right and move forward together, then you should start the dialogue and make moves towards rekindling the relationship. You do not have to forget the past, but you may want to forgive them and yourself for playing a part in a bad situation.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

At times, you can be super stubborn. While this is one of your more famous personality traits, it doesn't mean that you can’t work on being more flexible. Try to see both sides of a situation before committing to one way of thinking. The more open you are to growth and change, the better you will feel about yourself. Like Rome, transformation isn’t built in one day. This takes time. But, with the cosmos and stars supporting your personal evolution this week, it is a great time to start taking baby steps.

May 21 - June 20

Although it feels as if the whole world is against you, they’re not. You have a wonderful support system and friends who want you to flourish, but there are a few bad seeds in your group who are throwing hater vibes at you this week and you’re absorbing that energy. The only way to handle this situation is to cut out the people who aren’t giving you TLC. TBH, you’re an amazing person who’s worthy of love — which is why you don’t deserve to be treated in a less than fabulous way by others.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22 

Lately, you are feeling as though your crush isn’t giving you enough attention and affection. In an effort to deal with the frustration that you’re feeling, you have spoken to a bunch of friends about the matter. The problem isn’t that you’re opening up, but that you are trusting the wrong people. They’re giving harsh advice that isn’t benefiting you and repeating personal information. Truth be told, nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors except those directly involved — so they don’t need to preach about your love life, just listen to your problems. Trust others with caution.
