July 23-Aug. 22

With the full moon in your relationship house on the 19th, you can expect to have your connections with others tested this week. Make sure that you are listening, not only to what other people are telling you with their words, but to what their actions are saying too. This isn’t the time to bring others around to your point of view; instead, allow them and you to be where you’re at for now and cultivate enough trust to intentionally create what comes next, together.

It’s possible to think critically about the things you care about, including yourself, without being a jerk. This week you are likely to feel faced with a lot of stress and upset as you become clear about what is standing in your way. Instead of being punishing or mean to yourself, strive to use this information to begin to pull together the important data that you need and make a plan. Instead of centring your fears, be brave enough to act in ways that reflect your priorities and values, Virgo.

You may find yourself feeling pretty anxious this week, and unfortunately, you’re not alone—and that might make it a little worse for you. You are changing, and the people around you are also likely to be in a state of flux. This lack of stability may have you thrown off your centre and leaves you feeling overwhelmed. Instead of trying to fix things, create some space to tap in with yourself and reflect on what it is that you want to feed so that it may grow, dear Libra.

It’s time for you to call on some boundaries, Scorpio. As you change who you are and how you live your life, big feelings are going to inevitably come up, as well as unexpected and unintended consequences. Your first reaction to this may be to feel blocked or frustrated, but the truth is that even if you find the ride to be bumpy, you have chosen this path and it’s worth sticking with. Give yourself, situations that you’re invested in, and your relationships time to adapt, adjust, and change this week.

As things change, or you become aware that they need to change, it’s tempting to get demoralized—but it’s not necessary. Not knowing what comes next or experiencing uncertainty can lead to great discovery and more perfect clarity. Instead of worrying about what comes next, train your attention inward, Sagittarius. How you process through your thoughts and feelings, as well as how you navigate your interactions with others, all meaningfully reflect on who you are and where you’re at.

You don’t need to make it happen—you can let it come to you. This week is an important time for you to stand on principle and trust in all the work that you’ve put in until this point. By doing this, you will feel both more vulnerable and maybe even frustrated or restless because you’re not “doing” anything, but allowing matters to develop in their own time is wise. Having faith is a practice and it can be quite a challenging one. This is your time to rise to that challenge, Capricorn.

On the 19th, there will be a chaotic full moon in your sign heavily featuring your ruling planet, Uranus. This means that you are likely to have really big emotions come up and that you are likely to be inspired to make really big changes. Be willing to step into the unknown, following these pro tips: honor and learn from the lessons of your past, and don’t expect your ideas to turn into material conditions too quickly, Aquarius.

The more you can be true to yourself, the better you’ll feel—except when you have to deal with the growing pains associated with any major breakthrough. This isn’t the time to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Pain and discomfort aren’t inherently and consistently a sign that you’re on the wrong path. Be brave enough to check in with yourself and make sure that you aren’t giving up too soon just because things have gotten overwhelming or uncomfortable.

When you’re confronted with a mixed bag, it’s totally reasonable to have mixed emotions. This week, you are not supposed to have the answers as much as you are meant to ask the questions. If you had total faith that you would be able to have what you wanted eventually, would you want it right now? Are your goals compatible with what you truly believe will make you happy? Have you even considered this? Stay open as you explore what is truly true for you, Aries.

Trust in your ability to deal with whatever comes your way, Taurus. While the energy and tempo of life is likely to be pretty fast and chaotic this week, your assignment is to practice intentional and honest reflection. You don’t need perfection in order to get it right. In fact, sticking with the chaos and even the stress that is likely to emerge for you will help you to change what needs changing and reinforce what you truly believe in.

There’s nothing that you’re supposed to do, Twin Star. This week, it’s in your best interest to align with your free will. As you do this, you can better navigate what you think, what you feel, what you need, and what you want. This is a time when you are meant to make choices and centre the attitudes within you that truly reflect who you are and why you wish to co-create. It may take time for these things to manifest in the material world, but that isn’t a sign that they’re not going to happen.

Your ruling planet, the Moon, is going to be busy this week with another full moon on the 19th. You may find yourself feeling pretty overwhelmed and emo, especially if you have taken in too much of other people’s opinions and energy of late. This is an important time for you to reflect on which of your attitudes, behaviours, or even relationships you need to change your engagement with. How you show up and participate with the people and things important to you is a reflection on you; make sure it’s an honest one, Moonchild.
