Gemini
May 21 - June 20
With your solar return beginning, there is excitement in the air. However, you may need to conserve your energy before you become too anxious with all of the social activities on your calendar. Decide which events you would like to attend, the parties you’re unsure about, and the ones you definitely can't miss ahead of the time ensure a stress-free experience. The organization will help you navigate your day-to-day life and figure out when you can connect with your best friends soon.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
While you wait for someone who is charming and cool to sweep you off your feet, you should spend the week focusing on how you can do something special for yourself, even if it’s as minimal as taking a walk in the park or a healing bath. The objective is to connect with your heartfelt sentiments. Unwinding is a goal that may be hard to achieve, but it is worth it. Sprinkle your loving energy on yourself to reignite your confidence and aspirations.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
It is not that you don’t love your friend group, Leo, but their behavior is a tad shifty as of late, making you feel that something is amiss and you can’t quite put your finger on why. Let your intuition guide you to discovering what it is as you suss out their actions. Confronting them may be complex but essential. After all, you do not want anyone taking advantage of your goodwill or manipulating you. By drafting a message, you will find the right words.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Although it is unlike your kind and empathetic nature to compete with those you care about, the moment may arise where you feel like you want to be the cream of the crop amongst your friends. The caveat is that your mind and your heart are in conflict. You don't want to concoct issues, but on the other hand, you deserve success. Knowing that you can attain both sides of the scenario is vital, as long as you are kind when climbing to the top.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Your usual chill demeanor might escalate into dramatic entanglements with others. At times, when you’re thrown off-balance, you can lean toward the argumentative side of your diplomatic and tactful personality. This week, your friends and family are pulling you in two different directions, and it’s frustrating you to no end. You know that you can’t make everyone happy, so you might as well do what you can to ensure that you are content. They’ll call it selfish, but it’s survival and self-care.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
The week ahead is proving powerful and prosperous as you embrace a new philosophy that implores practical magic. You aren’t moving and feeling to the beat of your emotions; rather, you are being logical in how you communicate and interact with others. The reason is that you don't have the time or the energy to go back and forth on the merry-go-round. As a result, you're being concise and upfront by putting your cards on the table. The days of mystery are gone. You crave sincerity and honesty from the friends you surround yourself with. Set the example.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Building relationships takes trust—not just regarding other people, but yourself. If there are inconsistencies in the information your crush or significant other is feeding you, it might be time for you to reconsider or have a deep conversation that gives you insight into their motivations and romantic visions. Use your keen intellect and wit to get the tea; on the off chance you cannot, then embrace your passion to make the situationship evolve as you want. Try to maintain patience, as change doesn’t happen overnight. You are the one who holds the key to believing in the other person.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Aren’t you exhausted from playing the role of the puppeteer? Tense vibes are manifesting within your desire to manage the outcome of matters. Try loosening up your grip a little bit and going with the flow. Doing so will be hard at first, since you are never one to favor uncertainty. There is a beauty in the unknown, as it urges you to live to the fullest. Once you get a taste of this newfound vital flavor, you will begin to transcend for the better.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
As exciting as it is to take chances and risks, sometimes you have to hone in the energy and make calculated decisions before jumping into your impulses. The week ahead urges you to think before you leap because you may be misguided by someone who doesn't have your best interest at heart. Or, you might opt for deciding that you have all of the answers, so you don't need anyone's opinions, and choose to fend for yourself. It’s wise to be mindful of your actions and lead with caution.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Insecurities flare up when you doubt yourself. Instead of questioning your choices, comprehend that past negativity is triggering. Out of all the zodiacs, you are the one who has a clear path set up for yourself from the ability of foresight. When you overthink and compare your lot in the moment to others, it can be overwhelming. An exercise to add pep to your aura is to jot down your amazing qualities and say them out loud to yourself in the mirror. Give yourself TLC!
Aries
March 21 - April 19
You think that being head of the class is important to your future; however, you’re beginning to snap out of this notion, opening you up to understanding that there is more you want to accomplish. You have a lot of potential to reach your goals and hope, even if they turn out to be abstract. The person (or vision of self) you set out to be may not be who you become. Keep moving forward and move in the path of your interests and pursuits.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
People might say that you are contradicting yourself because you're simply changing your mind about a situation (which you can do at any time). Your fixed energy often prevents you from considering new perspectives, but after hearing a plea and explanation that you can rationalize, you're beginning to see the light. It's fine to switch sides without explaining yourself. Everyone evolves and grows in distinct ways. You are moving at your own pace and at other angles. Owning it won't make you a hypocrite.
