No matter that Pride month is behind us. The energy of this week will take a noticeable shift as the Sun moves out of Cancer into its home sign of Leo, the prideful king of the zodiac. Happy birthday, dear Leo.
Spirits are high when Leo is at its height. These celestial conditions call on us to be bold and confident in our actions. Not that we should forget the difference between carrying oneself with pride and being overly prideful. And while the Sun forms a sextile with Mars and Uranus, there’s another thing to look out for: take care not to be too demanding of others. Let your pride be expressive, not oppressive.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Your need for social enrichment is enhanced this week. Allow yourself the space to connect with friends and loved ones. Pay attention to who is charging your batteries and who is depleting them.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
How you present yourself to the world matters right now. If all the world’s a stage, then what character are you playing? Once you know that, take charge of your role and put on a good show.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Your passion will drive you toward new and profound places if you let it. Just remember, you only get one life, and building the life you want starts with investing in what you love.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
It always hurts when you’ve invested time and energy in someone who doesn’t return the interest. Don’t bend over backward for someone just because you want approval. You’re far more valuable than that, Cancer.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Have you sent out your birthday party invites yet? We all know you’ve been waiting for this season to come back around. You love a celebration. Don’t forget to share it with the ones you love.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
You’re a natural-born leader, Virgo. Maybe someone else is supposed to be in charge, but you may have to take charge first. There’s no need to melt into the background when you’re the most capable person in the room.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You’re at the start of a new period of self-reflection. It’s going to require some hard conversations, but don’t shy away from it — it’s not going away. Directness isn’t your brand, but sometimes it is the only way forward.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
If you’ve been going through a tough period, fear not. Things are shifting for you, which can be uncomfortable, but stay with it and open your eyes to the possibilities the future holds. Change is good.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
If you’re suffocating in the room you’re in, maybe it’s time to move to a bigger one. You need space to breathe, think, and stretch your limbs. It’s something you can make for yourself.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
When you find yourself in the same situation over and over, you tend to tell yourself you know how to handle it. But if that were working, you probably wouldn’t find yourself here again. Change things up.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You’re feeling powerful these days. Just remember, the way you behave when you’re the one holding all the cards defines you as a person. Be gracious. No need to act out just because that’s what “they” would do.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
When you’re in the middle of something, it seems like the biggest, most important thing in the world. Time always gives you perspective, though. Don’t get so lost in the details that you forget your destination.
