After this weekly horoscope, four planets will be retrograde. Pluto’s backspin in Aquarius has stifled growth since May 4, and Neptune’s backsplash in Aries has been softening up our aura since July 4. We won't be sure of commitments with Saturn turning retrograde in Aries on July 13. Combine that energy with Mercury’s seasonal moonwalk (this time around it’s in Leo), and we will be even more bewildered and dazed. The best way to handle the celestial energy is to stay calm and carry on.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
It seems as though everyone has an opinion about your life, making it hard for you to understand how you feel. When people put words in your mouth and emotions in your heart, try not to let their sentiments override yours. Being assertive and confrontational is one way to tell them their behavior is unacceptable. Another option is to drown out the noise and ignore it. Regardless of how you deal with the situation, know that your views are the only ones that count in your life. No one should ever tell you what to do or how to think.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
If there ever was a time for you to put your foot in your mouth, it’s this week. You might accidentally spill tea that was meant for your ears only or blurt out unkind statements without thinking about the repercussions. This is one of the few times you can blame the cosmos and let Mercury retrograde take the fall. Doing so doesn't make you irresponsible; these are just facts about the shift in your behavior. Watch out for moments like this until August 11. Edit all of the DMs, texts, emails, or thoughts before sending them into the wild.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Many of your acquaintances may feel that you're being secretive and moody, but in reality you're just staying away from the limelight to focus on your needs. It’s been a rough few weeks for you. Having a chance to decompress and get your head together by being alone will be the best remedy for you, as it allows you to plot your next move and sit with your emotions to heal. Also, you'll find that being surrounded by books, your favorite shows, and best buds is a way for you to get an energetic boost. Do you, Virgo!
Libra
September 23 - October 22
You’re not thrilled about the outcome of Love Island USA, but that doesn't mean it's worth arguing with your friends. Everyone has their own opinion about everything and you shouldn't take it to the next level when you're not on the same page. A fun banter is fine, but you need to embrace your diplomatic skills and make sure that there are no hurt feelings at the end of the discussion. Your pal might insert unkind personal feelings about others and you out of frustration, which means you’ll need to cool the conversation down when it gets too hot to handle.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
It's easier for you than most to get swept up in the rigidity of the day. This week, you're finding that your schedule is more erratic than ever. Think of this as your moment to be free to DIY your life. Go for it if you want to sleep in and take a walk in the early evening. Or, if you're going to start the assignments from your internship at dawn and work until the afternoon, then let management know. Either way, it's up to you to figure out how you want to spend your days without fulfilling specific timelines.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Now and again, you opt to escape reality because you need a break. The caveat is that your bank account is not permitting you to leave on a whim to a foreign country to unwind. As a result, you're creating a staycation at home by posting scenic pictures of the beach around your room and playing your favorite tunes as you sip coffee out of a tourist mug. Get caught up in your own life — put your phone on DND and take on a hobby that suits your interests. Remember, the objective is to reconnect with yourself.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Last week's full moon got you in tailspin about what you want to bring into your life and what you want to release. As you move through this week, you're still deep in the process of figuring things out. However, you are gaining clarity about who has your back and who doesn't. Being surrounded by people who will go to bat for you and always stand by your side is a rarity in these times, which is why it's essential to put your energy into maintaining and growing these friendships. They’ll be 100% loyal to you through your personal journey.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Not gonna lie, you're finding the upcoming days extremely confusing regarding your ship. You've been trying to get closer to a crush, but now you're finding they are acting aloof, and the vibe is a little off. Their recent behavior doesn't mean you don't have a chance at forging a connection with them. Give them space to decide what they want because Saturn and Mercury's moonwalks create disarray in how they wish to proceed and whether they're ready to commit. The odds are that they’ll be down for a second chance once they get organized in other elements of life.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Your tender and compassionate heart is breaking, considering everything that is currently going on in the world. All the more reason for you to take a stand and join a humanitarian effort that allows you to connect with those in need. Being a part of an endeavor that is bigger than yourself is going to make you feel as though you're making a difference (which you totally are). With every dollar you raise or every toy that you collect, you're helping someone and connecting with them on a personal level — even if you don’t know their face or name.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Looks like you got caught with your hands in the cookie jar, figuratively speaking. A prank you thought you'd get away with is proving to be out in the open. The person you tried to punk isn't going to necessarily confront you, but they're on to you. If you do some shady behavior again, you might want to reconsider. If they do address the situation, it’ll be difficult to cultivate a believable and strong alibi. Take a step back from emotionally and impulsively reacting to matters, and focus on improving your life.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
You’re at a crossroads regarding the direction of your studies and career. Trying to figure out how to move ahead will be tiring, so the best course of action is to meditate on your aspirations and what is immediately in reach. Having lofty goals is vital but won’t come to fruition immediately. Allow yourself the patience and time to manifest greatness. Your dreams are coming true, just not as fast as you’d prefer them to. Stay the course! Give a push to achieving the visions that are easily attainable to get the ball rolling in a fabulous direction.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Now is your moment to pledge your time to the revolution. Taking on and expressing your political ideas will be an integral part of the week because you want to bring change and make an extra effort to fight for what's just and important. Your message goes beyond simply posting on your social media account. That’s right, Gemini, you're taking it to the streets and protesting for the causes you believe in. Your squad and family might surprise you by joining in, allowing you to see that many generations spanning across time share the same values and beliefs as you.
