~*~CANCER~*~

You have been doing your best to avoid drama but some drama could be brewing this week. Monday is a great day when travel or big-picture visions you have for your life give you a boost of confidence. But with both verbal Mercury and assertive Mars in your sign and making a string of dramatic aspects, a situation you have been trying to manage could finally blow up. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, as long as you speak your peace and respect others’ POVs as well. Your love life is on fire right now, so you will get a definitive answer one way or another, and if you are single, look for fireworks this weekend, and not just the holiday kind!

~*~LEO~*~

Be patient and go slow this week, since some drama could come out of the clear blue sky. Your instincts are sharp Monday so pay attention to your intuition. But with a stack of planets in your zone of privacy and dreams, making harsh aspects, something that has been bothering you could come to the surface. Be realistic if there are problems you haven’t wanted to face, especially at work. Confirmation of your concerns could finally come to light. But don’t jump to conclusions since there is more to this than meets the eye. Spend time in nature this weekend to get back in touch with what’s really important.

~*~VIRGO~*~

Are you on the same page with your friends? Family? Coworkers? Simmering issues could be forced to the surface this week. You will see who is on your team Monday when active Mars forms a glorious trine to intuitive Neptune in your zone of relationships. But there is drama lurking midweek, and you would be wise to avoid ideological or political triggers, or those who just can’t convey their opinions and ideas a respectfully. If you can avoid hotheads, this weekend could be epically fun! And love may catch you by surprise, so say yes to random events and parties!

~*~LIBRA~*~

All eyes are on you this week, Libra, and you could be making some significant decisions. Monday is a fabulous day when you feel that intuitively, you know what you want to do, especially when it comes to work. But some tense aspects midweek will highlight exactly what is right — and what is wrong — with your plans. If you can’t seem to get others on board, you may want to change your strategy. If you’re thinking about moving or switching up your living situation, everything could fall into place now. Change is for the best! Avoid emotionally charged conflicts with annoying and opinionated family members this weekend.

~*~SCORPIO~*~

You are a strategic person and a big-picture thinker, and this week, you are shooting for the stars. You’re fearless so you can handle this; just be warned that things might not work out exactly as you had planned. Vibes don’t lie Monday, and your creative vision is strong, so trust your instincts. But a slew of challenging aspects midweek may make things uncomfortable. Don’t let your temper or hasty words get the better of you. Travel could be stressful so have a backup plan. Breakthroughs are possible now. Be prepared for a big shift Sunday when your two co-rulers, determined Mars and transformational Pluto, form a rare opposition.

~*~SAGITTARIUS~*~

A lot of changes have been happening in your life recently, but if there is something that you have been avoiding dealing with, then this is the week to tackle it. Your instincts are on point Monday, and you could get some support or backup from a family member, which means a lot to you. Drama flairs up midweek, and you can resolve issues from the past, but first you have to own your part in it. Try not to be overly argumentative or judgmental this weekend when aggressive Mars makes an opposition to intense Pluto. If you’re open and vulnerable with someone you care about now, you could bond in a very powerful way!

~*~CAPRICORN~*~

This is a dramatic week, and one or more of your key relationships could shift in a substantial way. Monday is a beautiful, social day, so spend time with people you care about and have fun! This will put you in a better mood for tackling whatever drama comes up midweek. You could feel like other irrational behavior is putting you in a bad position, but try not to play the victim card and weigh everyone’s perspective carefully rather than making snap judgments. A blowout could erupt this weekend when assertive Mars makes a rare opposition to intense Pluto in your sign. But if you are trying to keep the peace, it could actually be an amazing weekend for love or new relationships.

~*~AQUARIUS~*~

There are times when your rigid thinking or way of doing things can get you in hot water, and this may be one of those weeks. Everything gets off to a good flow Monday and things will move smoothly, especially with work. But a series of difficult aspects midweek will test your patience. You may become very frustrated with others who can’t seem to follow through or make good on their commitments. Try not to lose your patience or be overly critical. Exercise to blow off steam or spend some time in nature to regroup this weekend — you may just have a unexpected epiphany that makes all of these challenges worthwhile! 

~*~PISCES~*~

This week could be unexpectedly intense. A slew of planets traveling through your zone of fun and romance are putting you in a playful summer vibe, especially Monday and Tuesday. But verbal Mercury and aggressive Mars also are making their presence known, and a fundamental disconnect between you and friends or family could bring down your spirits. You may have to consider if you would rather be right or have peace. Mars opposes passionate Pluto on Sunday, so your weekend could be intense, and you may feel love sparks with a friend. Let your playful and goofy side shine!

~*~ARIES~*~

This is an intense week where you may be revisiting some drama from the past. Monday is a gorgeous day when your ruler, assertive Mars, makes a beautiful trine to inspirational Neptune. You have been weighing your options about something and now you just know. But sticking to your guns could cause turmoil, since Mars also tangles with a string of other planets this week. Being subtle and sensitive will help you win your case, more than being aggressive. You could make a big decision this weekend that will effect your path or your career for a long time to come, so just make sure you believe in what you are doing!

~*~TAURUS~*~

This is one of those weeks where you may feel like you just can’t quite get a grip on the millions of balls that are up in the air. Your instincts about a situation with a friend or sibling prove to be spot on Monday. But a game of “he said, she said” could test your patience. Everyone has a different version of events and you are being pulled in lots of different directions. Resist the urge to lose your temper! If you are traveling, there may be setbacks this weekend. But at the end of the day, you will end up just where you are supposed to be — and having a blast!

~*~GEMINI~*~

You are a versatile and curious person, but your patience may be tested this week. With things that you truly care about and are invested in, you can be rather possessive and sentimental, and some of those attachments are being questioned now. Good news at work boosts your spirits Monday. But drama related to money, possessions, or family has your wheels spinning midweek. Be patient and don’t say anything you’ll regret later! You can reach a conclusion on this weekend, even if it isn’t exactly what you had in mind. Keep your spending in check now, but blow off steam this weekend with a night out dancing or doing something that makes you feel sexy!
