Leo season should be full of fun in the sun, right? In some ways it is, but there seem to be a few things standing in the way of our ability to enjoy these precious summer days.
The energy of this week may feel akin to driving on Route 6: you’re trying to get somewhere, but you’re hindered by stop-and-go traffic. With the planets Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune as well as the comet Chiron all retrograding in fire signs, forward momentum may not be as easy for any of us as we would like.
Give yourself the time you need and deserve to savor the summer. Yes, you are wrapped up in work or errands, or health issues, or something else. But that’s even more reason to pause.
Summer is fleeting. Steal a few moments for yourself, or you may really regret it when fall arrives.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Don’t switch gears just yet. While some things may feel over and done with, there are some lingering issues that still need to be resolved.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Physical and emotional security become a priority this week as you are left feeling vulnerable to the actions of others. No one will judge you if you want to stay inside and shut out the world for a minute. Just don’t stay in there too long.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
You may want to hold back a little this week. Avoid oversharing, monologuing, and opinionated statements. Better to leave them wanting more than serve something half baked.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
You can’t hold everything back all the time — otherwise, how will anyone get close enough to see how fantastic you are? Emotional security is sexy, and it will help you grow long-lasting and meaningful relationships.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Have patience, as your week is rife with communication issues and delays. If you’re willing to adjust and negotiate, you may end up enjoying yourself plenty.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
It is admirable to fight for what you know is right, even if it’s a losing battle. Stick to your guns, stand with your morals, and don’t let anyone make you believe what you know to be false.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Home is where the heart is, but it’s also a place of safety, security, and comfort. You don’t have to be seen at every party or event, especially when the comforts of home are calling. It won’t kill you to spend a night in.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
What are you willing to give up to get what you want? This week will give you a glimpse into what may be on the other side of letting something go.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Take stock of what is really going on inside you. Understanding what you think and feel and how that dictates your actions is important to your success.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Take a step back and remember why it is you decided to do whatever it is you’re doing right now. Do you feel justified, validated, or proud of those choices? These questions are important.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You may feel bogged down by the number of thoughts and ideas you’re processing right now. There is such a thing as too much information.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Emotional maturity isn’t something you can expect from everyone, but it still confuses you when you face that reality head on. Be willing to meet people where they are without sinking down to their level.
