Leo Weekly Horoscope
(July 23 - August 22)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Stock up on Kleenex, Leo. This could be a three-hanky week for you—but not because you’ve caught a case of the summer blues. With Monday’s new moon in soulful Cancer and your twelfth house of release, you could be moved to tears by someone’s act of kindness, a memorable song, or a wellspring of compassion for humankind. Your charitable spirit could even lead to some activism, community volunteering or the inspiration to start your own non-profit organization. While you’re definitely veering towards the mushball end of the spectrum, don’t let anyone mistake your back for a climbing gym. This new moon brings a wakeup call about the necessity for clear boundaries. While you love your inner circle, are you quick to say yes to requests without thinking them through? Honor and respect your own need for rest and solitude—and that might mean lounging at home all day instead of doing the obligatory barbecue and fireworks thing with friends. Set clear limits with someone who is putting controlling demands on your time. Maybe you spoiled them or even trained them to treat you this way, but as of Monday (Independence Day…hello!)—no mas!
On Wednesday, cosmic cohorts Mars and Venus flow into a harmonious angle called a trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/), bringing some sweet and soulful nurturing your way. Have you been holding a “nice guy (or girl)” at arm’s length? Melt your resistance, Leo, and let them in. Grudges could also be released now, so if you need to make amends, Wednesday’s energy is the perfect backdrop for healing talks. With Mars in your fourth house of “feels” and Venus in your twelfth house of helpful people, you could find a few sherpas to guide you along your emotional journey. If you’re struggling to process a painful situation, this trine can illuminate great therapists, holistic healers (think: Reiki or acupuncture) and bodyworkers who can help move the energy up and out of your shell. Since both planets are in feminine positions, you could meet a wise woman who wants to earn her wings as your personal earth angel. She may even be a relative or an elder in your community. Let. Her. Help. You.
Thursday’s energy will be pricklier as the Cancer Sun in your esoteric twelfth house faces off with furtive Pluto. People you THOUGHT you could rely on could flake or show a shady face you wish you’d never seen. While your first instinct may be to smooth over the tension—or even pretend it never happened—don’t. Rather than rushing to reconcile, pull the “offending party” aside for an honest (and private) chat. If you don’t call it out now, the issue will just come up again. But next time it will pack a bigger punch since you’ll already be pissed from this week’s events. In the interest of preserving your important relationships, be honest AND compassionate. It can help to speak in “I” language rather than the accusatory “you.” Starting off with, “I’m feeling hurt,” will yield better results than, “You hurt me!"
Also on Thursday, Venus will square (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/) revolutionary Uranus, bringing some checks and balances. Have you turned one of your mentors into your personal guru? It’s important to accept support, yes—but if you’ve become a little too dependent on a wise oracle, pull back and reconnect to your OWN truth. The answers are all inside you, Leo, and you can tap them through a meditation practice or dedicated daily journaling. It won’t be long before your inner guidance takes hold of your hand and starts writing truth on the page.
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
(August 23 - September 22)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Let the collaborations commence! Monday’s new moon in Cancer electrifies your eleventh house of teamwork, sparking a powerful six-month cycle for joint ventures. Start that band or creative collective; team up with friends on a vlog or podcast. There’s strength in numbers, Virgo, provided you’re aligned with the right people. How to find them? Follow your intuition and emotional cues. In Cancer, this new moon is all heart. And as it turns out, your ticker is pretty intelligent. According to deep studies done at the Heartmath Institute (https://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/heart-brain-communication/), the brain and heart are in constant communication through the nervous system, hormones, pulse waves and electromagnetic fields. Honor the feels you get from your interactions with people and while checking out different scenes. That sense of “yes, I’m home” or “these are my people” are at least AS important as the data you get when diving in and doing the background checks.
And is it time for a virtual makeover (or makeunder)? The eleventh house is the tech sector of the zodiac wheel, sounding a call for a refresh on all your digital representations. Scrub your social media of outdated memes and blurry photos and repopulate your feed with clever Virgo finds and profile photos that show your spark and savvy. You could finally bite the bullet and build yourself a Squarespace site—or even call in the developers if you’re working with more complex code. Work a video or two into the game plan—you could wind up being a YouTube sensation; which in the case of more ambitious Virgos might even land you a spot on network TV. (Hey, ya never know.) In this day and age, getting ahead means cleverly marketing yourself. Let your greatest hits be easily searchable, Virgo. With enterprising, globally-minded Jupiter in your sign until September 9, you could make a huge impression on the world at large—and in some cases, right from your very own laptop.
On Wednesday, kindred spirits Mars and Venus flow into a somewhat rare trine—an auspicious angle (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/) that can bring big breakthroughs in relationships. With Mars in your third house of communication and Venus in your eleventh house of hopes and wishes, feel free to muse aloud about all the ideal visions of love that have been floating through your head. Just because you aren’t sure how or when it will happen doesn’t mean you can’t say things like, “I see the two of us backpacking through Asia one day” or “I would love to introduce you to my mother.” The trine could bring a sexy meeting of the minds, too. Brainstorm with business partners (hello, genius think tank!) and with your bae. How can you make your collaboration or romantic relationship more thrilling and fulfilling? Single Virgos could meet your match through mutual friends or an intellectually-stimulating cultural event like a town hall talk given by a favorite author. Dating apps could serve up a favorable right swipe, as well, but get out and mingle on hump day, because IRL interactions are the true litmus test of attraction.
There could also be some complex undercurrents simmering on Thursday. The feisty Sun and seductive Pluto lock into their annual opposition, bringing heat, spice and sexy surprises. A passionate exchange could turn into a fun summer fling before you know it, but easy now: Pluto’s presence can bring out your possessive streak. Pace yourself, even if you DO feel like ripping off your crop-top and throwing caution to the wind. In a relationship? The Sun-Pluto opposition might turn up the tension between you and your amour. Your jealousy (or your partner’s) could bubble up in a group setting if one of you fails to pay proper attention to the other. Of course, a good argument can clear the air—and making up will be hot. Emotions can run high near the weekend and you’ll feel like venting, but choose your confidantes wisely. The resident drama queen might be all too available to “be there” as you unload, but at what price? If this means she’ll now expect YOU to listen to her never-ending saga, you’re better off scrawling in your journal or booking a therapy session instead.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
(September 23 - October 22)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
The week is off to an ambitious start—July Fourth celebrations be damned! With a new moon in Cancer activating your tenth house of success this Monday, you could use the down time to deep dive into a pro-level project that keeps getting pushed to the backburner. Obsess away, but don’t forgo the barbecue scene entirely. Strategic socializing could turn the whole day into an extended networking event. And with this new moon trance dancing with guardian angel Neptune, you could flow right into fortune’s path. It doesn’t hurt that you’re imbued with such charm. Talk to intriguing strangers early this week—even if they’re wearing Tevas and a worn out tee. Success doesn’t always come wrapped in a Chanel suit, after all. You’ll certainly have the high pro glow yourself, though! Train your sights on a higher rung of the ladder, even if that means writing up your own job description. Before 2016 is through you could make an epic leap. Could your professional presentation use a little rebranding? Call in the stylists and graphic designers to give your wardrobe, website or business materials some polish. Even if you’re dressed to the nines, your follow-up should be as sharp as your fashion choices. Standardize and organize. If there is paperwork involved in your business affairs, have a lawyer draft a “boilerplate” contract that you can have at the ready for a client to review after a promising power lunch. If you own a business or are in charge of a team, take time this week to create consistent policies and set up easy workflow processes. That way you won’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you embark on a new mission. If you’re transitioning into being your own boss—or having the borderless office dream come to life as an independent contractor—this new moon adds fuel to the fire. Given that it’s in domestic Cancer, you could set up a home office or even rent a desk in a warm, communal coworking space and get productive amongst the hum of other entrepreneurial souls.
On Wednesday, your cosmic ruler Venus forms a rare trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/) with her companion Mars, helping you hash out some #LoveGoals. Warm fuzzy feelings aside, do you and a romantic interest want the same things from life? Talks about the future could go surprisingly well under this transit—even if you need to address some tough issues that keep coming up between you. And if they turn out to be irreconcilable differences you can part ways lovingly (or make like Libra Gwyneth Paltrow and “consciously uncouple.”) But before you throw out the baby with the bathwater, get down to brass tacks about the basics like how you each manage finances and where you’d ultimately like to live one day. Compromises may be struck but they shouldn’t feel like sacrifices. If you make too many concessions there could be a blowup just one day later, as Venus forms a challenging square (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/) to liberated Uranus in Aries and your partnership zone. You need a certain amount of autonomy in order to feel balanced in relationships. Of course, these Venus transits can also provoke single Libras to open up to new types. An attractive opposite might throw you off your center temporarily but this swoonworthy connection could also make your world feel a whole lot bigger and brighter.
Also on Thursday, the Cancer Sun in your career sector faces off with prickly Pluto in your personal fourth house. Press pause from being the power player as the workweek wraps and balance it out with more personal interactions. Meet your soul squad for a morning yoga class. Cancel an evening networking event so you can have dinner with your family or a friend who’s in from out of town. If you don’t decompress a little, you could wind up getting snappish with coworkers or even bursting into tears at your desk. Consider that Thursday massage and spa pedicure insurance against a professional faux pas. When meeting people for business purposes, don’t just stick to superficial subject matter. While you don’t have to pry their sordid secrets out them—or spill your own after downing a glass of rose—it’s fine to chat about personal hobbies, summer vacation plans and even your grander ambitions. Finding that common click could be the start of a nurturing and prosperous business alliance; after all, there’s a reason big business happens as often on the golf course as it does in the boardroom.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
(October 23 - November 21)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Happy Independence Day…to the hundredth power! This Monday, July Fourth the new moon in Cancer activates your worldly, liberated ninth house. If you’ve been feeling fenced in by circumstances, let freedom ring. Creating a little more breathing room for yourself can actually improve the relationships, even if you have to weather an awkward “I need a little space” conversation. But that won’t be necessary with everyone. Certain people just make your world feel bigger and far more exciting—and these are the ones you want to spend your extended weekend (or your whole summer) with. There could even be a sexy spark with one of these folks, especially since the new moon will dance into a sultry samba with dreamy Neptune in your romance zone. Love could come with a devastating accent or from a cultural background quite different than your own. If you’re in a relationship, here’s hoping you have the day off on Monday! A spontaneous getaway could give you life. And even if you ARE locked down at home base, surf the travel blogs and start shooting some ideas at your bae. A Balinese holiday or Phuket this fall will give you both something epic to look forward to—always great juice to keep your bond feeling like a sweet fantasy.
La luna could also spur some entrepreneurial plans. Have you been dreaming of an office without walls, Scorpio, or maybe a chic little space where you operate your own LLC? There’s nothing impossible about this dream so start taking steps towards greater professional independence. If you’re a security-minded Scorpio who likes the predictability of a paycheck, flex your “intrapreneurial” muscles at the office. Pitch a project, spearhead an initiative like a social media campaign or carve out a groove where your gifts can be put to great use. You’re not the type who needs (or can stand) a boss breathing down your neck, so this new M.O. can be your ticket to profitability and paradise.
On Wednesday, passion planets Venus and Mars align in a sultry trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/), bringing out your legendary prowess. Venus is cruising through Cancer and your liberated, outspoken ninth house while Mars is burning it up in Scorpio. Feel free to be forward about your desires on, uh, hump day because your audacious moves will garner a warm reception. You might even try a gentle “neg” (we said GENTLE, Scorpio!), teasingly poking at the object of your affections and catching them off guard. But this should only be utilized if you’re chasing after the confident peacock type who might be shocked to hear anything BUT a gushing compliment. (Hey, we know your sign likes a challenge…) If you’re in a relationship, Wednesday’s trine sets the stage for a beautifully honest conversation. Optimism is in the air, so even if you’re addressing a problem, approach it proactively. A creative solution will arise quickly—and could even lead to a spontaneous evening adventure or more talks of your next shared travel plan.
On Thursday, however, there could be a temporary crash from all of Wednesday’s highs. Uranus in your persnickety sixth house will square Venus that day (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/) and make you super critical of the very person you were fawning over; or worse, you could start picking at yourself. While your inner pundit may have some valid points, it’s important to remember that nobody is perfect. The question is, are these minor grievances or legit dealbreakers? Give it a few days to see if the agitation passes.
Also on Thursday, the Sun in Cancer and your liberated ninth house will oppose controlling Pluto in your social third. You can be a lone wolf at times, but your disappearing acts can really affect other people. If you don’t want to include friends in your adventures, at least clue them in on your coordinates. There could be some guilt trips or hurt feelings, yes. But when a Scorpio needs alone time it’s never a good idea to let others encroach. You may need to strike a compromise, giving yourself a few hours each day this week to fly solo and dedicate other blocks of time to your network. Businesswise, the Sun-Pluto opposition cautions you to dot every “i.” While you don’t want to sweat the small stuff, be a little more obsessive before you hit the send button or present your work to the public. Getting expert feedback or an independent consultant’s perspective can make your efforts more engaging, as well.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
(November 22 - December 21)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Independence Day…or Interdependence Day? Normally your free-spirited sign would be the one shooting off fireworks and shouting liberated hurrahs from the rooftops. But this Monday, July Fourth features a new moon in Cancer and your eighth house of permabonding. Coupling up for the long haul could be at the forefront of your agenda. Sneak in some private time with the object of your affections, even slip off for a day trip to a secluded spot where you can enjoy each other’s company in every possible way. (Meow!) Single? Your search for a soulmate could turn up that missing puzzle piece. With this new moon in cozy Cancer, the fateful introduction could come via a close friend or relative who has a strong hunch about you and someone they know. With this low-key groove, you might opt for a more intimate fete, like a friend’s backyard barbecue instead of a noisy dance party. (Or at least split your time between the two.)
This new moon will rev up your money mojo, too, especially when it comes to investments and shared finances. Start exploring new “passive income” streams—ways of making money that don’t require you to put in extra hours. This might look like building up your portfolio with the help of a financial planner or developing a downloadable product—or an online course that you can produce once then teach over and over again. If you’ve thought of dabbling in real estate, this new moon could point you towards a rental property. Remember that you have six months to deploy the energy that’s sparked on Monday. No need to rush and put a down payment on a fixer-upper, say, but just start learning. Creating wealth is a process that you can totally nail. Check out Sagittarius Barbara Stanny’s Secrets Of Six Figure Women (http://barbarastanny.com/books-products/) if you need a few insider tips.
On Wednesday, a scintillating trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/) between va-va-voom Venus in your erotic eighth house and lusty Mars in your twelfth house of fantasy can get your mojo moving at warp speed. A secret admirer could step forward professing an undying love or YOU could screw up the courage to cop to a crush. If you haven’t been feeling like a sexy siren lately, take actions to “restore and explore.” Start by moving YOUR body, independent of anyone else’s. Have a dance break in your living room or hit a lively Zumba or spin class. Refreshing your lingerie drawer wouldn’t hurt either. Hanging on to resentment or a grudge could also be crushing your libido. Instead of simmering silently, hoping things will smooth out on their own, use Wednesday’s confidence-boosting (and diplomatic!) skies to hash out the conflict. Be willing to look within, Archer, because it DOES take two to tango. But at the same time don’t let people offload their issues on you. If something affects you adversely you need to speak up about it and let your boundaries be known.
Temper your enthusiasm on Thursday, even if you’re feeling a strong urge to merge or one of those “this could be my soulmate” hits. Venus crashes into a tricky square (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/) with destabilizing Uranus and you could come on a bit too strong with the object of your affections. Also on Thursday, the Sun in your ultraprivate eighth house faces off with subterranean Pluto, making it harder for you to say “oui” to “we.” Under this prickly opposition, all you want to do is hide under a beach umbrella. Try not to take everything SO personally on Thursday. People’s offhanded remarks are only worthy of eye rolls, not a snappish retort that winds up hitting THEM below the belt. If you’re going to be with people near the weekend make sure that they don’t expect you to be all sunshine and light. Even an optimist like you deserves the right to a cranky spell every now and again. (Let’s call it “independence from the people pleaser trap.”) Of course, your hilarious and sarcastic quips could keep everyone in stitches. Just don’t get too snarky with those zingers. The walls have ears. Hang that Do Not Disturb sign. There COULD be a sultry energy in the air during this Sun-Pluto faceoff—especially if you have a brooding badass in your crosshairs. It’s not unlike you to get swept up in the moment when the seductive vibes unfold. But look before you leap between the sheets because there’s a chance one of you could get pretty possessive after this lust-fueled exchange.
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
(December 22 - January 19)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Independence can be so overrated, Capricorn. This Monday, July Fourth the new moon in Cancer shoots off fireworks in your seventh house of relationships. A dynamic duo could become set in stone—or a stone (like an ethically-mined diamond, say) could be set into an engagement ring. Whether you’re sealing a business deal or updating your relationship status on social media, you’ll want the terms spelled out clearly. “Looks good on paper” (and on your arm) is a start. But does this person understand the depth of your emotions? Even if you appear to have it all together you need nurturing and supportive partners who pep you up and have your back as you ascend to the top. If you’ve been in lone wolf mode, this new moon snaps you out of it. But your Plenty of Fish profile isn’t going to write itself, Capricorn. New moons are about initiation and action, and the seeds you plant with people this Monday could blossom organically by the corresponding full moon in January 2017.
Another vote for the tag teams comes on Wednesday, July 6 when cosmic lovebirds Mars and Venus flow into a dreamy, heart-opening trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/). You could meet your match through mutual friends or via a dating app. And while you’ll definitely soften under this transit you won’t lose your sass or sense of humor. Venus is in Cancer and your seventh house of relationships while Mars is in Scorpio and your open-minded, experimental eleventh. Your sign has a rep for being rigid sometimes; controlling even (gulp). But all that intense focus can flow to the opposite extreme! When you’re ready to cut loose it’s like a hedonistic holiday. Breaking wild with your bae could lead to some fascinating, er, experimentation midweek. But even if this doesn’t veer anywhere NEAR Ashley Madison terrain, the Mars-Venus trine is a great time for expanding your social horizons. Stop asking people, “So, what do you do for a living?” and just be in the moment. It’s not your job to carry every conversation; in fact, you might be happiest kicking back at a ball game, karaoke bar or a DJ set where you can soak up the communal bliss without having to think of anything clever to say. We wouldn’t actually be surprised if you became a regular in this scene.
Thursday will be stormier story, when Venus locks into a tense square (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/) with erratic Uranus in your hypersensitive fourth house. What you laughed off as NBD on Wednesday could suddenly feel like a federal offense to your heart! If you find yourself needing space, take it—even if earlier in the week you considered having your favorite person surgically implanted to your hip. The last thing you want to do is blow up at someone you adore and burn bridges because you need a little time alone. Same holds true if you’re feeling needy. Pull back and reclaim your own center near the weekend and the relationship won’t fizzle just as it starts to sizzle.
Another reason to monitor your moods on Thursday? The Cancer Sun in your seventh house of relationships will make its annual opposition to intense and possessive Pluto in Capricorn. The smallest slight could provoke bursts of tension, anger, or jealousy. You could go to great lengths to get attention, picking fights or making incendiary comments to get a rise out of people. (PS: Negative attention is NOT better than being ignored.) Some Capricorns could swing to the opposite extreme, leaving their significant other or BFF in the lurch while roaming about meeting new people. While no one can blame you for being a social butterfly, don’t forget where your bread is buttered. Staying on top of your game will be a whole lot harder if you lose the support of your inner circle.
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
(January 20 - February 18)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
To your health, Aquarius! This Monday, July Fourth the new moon in Cancer raises a glass of locally grown, organic green juice to your wellbeing. No shame in your game if you show up to the party with a rainbow bowl or a vegan dessert. This new moon marks the start of a fresh six-month cycle that’s all about taking excellent care of yourself. Prepare healthier meals and make movement a regular part of each day. Get creative with fresh ingredients (hey, lemon, garlic and olive oil CAN transport you straight to “Flavor Country”!). Opt in to fitness classes that are also fun—the “no pain, no gain” regimen is not going to stick now. Make a Fitbit your summer accessory and add more steps into your days by taking short walk breaks during work hours and biking on local errands. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so book all your basic checkups and consider doing an elimination diet if you’ve been having food sensitivities (http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-12540/the-simple-elimination-diet-that-could-change-your-life-forever.html). If you don’t really love your doctor or acupuncturist, ask friends for recommendations. You might just switch from a Western-based MD to a naturopath (ND) or a doctor who blends the best of both worlds through a functional medicine practice.
Work goals heat up, too, and your mind could keep turning towards your ambitions this Monday. If it’s time to spruce up your resume, LinkedIn or personal website, devote a couple hours to that mission before hitting the fireworks show. On Wednesday, cosmic cohorts Venus and Mars get in formation in the professional houses of your chart bringing even more opportunity to crush it. Venus is in Cancer and your efficiency-minded sixth house and go-getter Mars is boosting your game in Scorpio and your goal-oriented tenth house. Aim higher, Aquarius, because you may very well be underestimating your own power. You could meet an influential person on hump day who can help you rise through the ranks. If you’re not in a peer position, consider offering yourself up as a humble assistant. Paying your dues might feel agonizing along the way, but knowing the right people is also like taking the express elevator to the top. But don’t get in over your head with commitments and promises, because Thursday, your ruling planet, frenetic Uranus, squares off with Venus and your mouth could write a check that your a** can’t cash.
But waking up will be hard to do on Thursday. With the Sun in your project-obsessed sixth house facing off with dramatic Pluto in your twelfth house of escape, you could feel overwhelmed by your own to-do list. Instead of throwing the covers over your head—or drill sergeant-ing yourself out of bed and into action, rework your plan. The stress is a result of trying to do too much by your lonesome. How about outsourcing some of the tasks involved with your mission, particularly the ones you aren’t super keen on doing yourself? If that’s not an option, this could be your call to downsize a bit. Break your goals down into phases. Rome wasn’t built in a day, Aquarius. Some of the VIPs in your life could be clamoring for more connection near the weekend, too. Shift out of “go!” mode and go enjoy some quality time. Take a day (or weekend) at the beach, book side-by-side massages, take a yoga class together or even just lounge around the house and listen to music for a few hours. Healthy relationships require equal amounts of practical magic and nourishing playtime so bring yours back into balance accordingly.
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
(February 19 - March 20)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Pisces, you’re a firework—and the brightest one in the skies this July Fourth, at that! With Monday’s new moon in Cancer and your fifth house of fame, flamboyance and amour, your showstopping side is making another cameo. Stop ruminating over past heartbreaks. This new moon turns to a fresh page in your eternally unfolding love story. And with your ruling planet Neptune in Pisces and your first house of self-expression forming a golden trine to la luna, letting your authentic self out to play is the way to slay. Expect some major heart-opening moments near Monday. If you’re single, dive back into the deeper end of the dating pool—instead of splashing in the wading pool and entertaining those “safe” but ultimately superficial connections. Your willingness to be more vulnerable is the secret ingredient to manifesting a mate. Already attached? This new moon could inspire a proposal, pregnancy or an exhilarating vacation plan. Co-creating is the name of the game. Find playful ways to bond with the object of your affections. Fun may be the missing ingredient and also the glue. Another reason for this? On Wednesday, July 6 cosmic lovebirds Venus and Mars will samba into a sexy trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/) helping you broaden your horizons in love. With Mars in your global ninth house, you could quickly go from “oui” to “we” with someone you meet while traveling—or while on a sultry getaway with the one you adore. Cross-cultural connections could heat up, too. Keep your ears perked for intriguing accents!
Ready to refresh your “brand”? The new moon, plus Venus and Mars, could inspire an upgrade, makeover or restyling. Do your outsides match your insides? You want to be seen, known and appreciated for the person you truly are. As a Pisces, it’s hard for you to NOT wear your creativity on your sleeve. Pump up the volume—or streamline it a bit so that you aren’t distracting with too many bells and whistles. As Coco Chanel famously suggested, remove one accessory before leaving the house. If you’ve been an undiscovered talent for too long, take command of your promotion and marketing efforts. It’s not vain to put your work out into the world! There are people who will deeply benefit from what you have to offer. In this digital age, it’s never been so easy to put the word out there. Yours could be the Instagram feed seen ’round the world! But don’t forget to put a dollar amount on your professional offerings! On Thursday, erratic Uranus in your second house of money locks into a tense square (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/) with Venus and reminds you of the importance of charging for your time and efforts. Others will value you in direct proportion to how much you cherish yourself. And you, Pisces, could afford to raise your rates!
Thursday can be tough for other reasons, too, as the ego-driven Sun opposes power hungry Pluto, bringing some complex personalities into your universe. Fasten your seatbelt, because this day could feel like a psychological Six Flags ride. You enjoy a colorful character, yes. But as entertaining as these people may be, they can also wreck your compassionate soul with their mood swings and demands. Summon your willpower. This week, you must not cater to their infantile ways! Your own inner diva could also take a turn at the wheel near Thursday. Uh-oh. If you find yourself getting fussy about a group plan or wanting everything done “just so,” take a deep breath. You’ve lost sight of the point, Pisces, which is to enjoy people’s company, not force every gathering to feel like a five-star affair. Not that there’s anything wrong with wanting a little luxury in your life. But with the Sun and Pluto locking horns this week, you may have to enjoy those finer things without your entourage. With the Sun in your romance house and seductive Pluto in your friend zone, the lines could blur in a formerly platonic relationship. But this could get super complicated, especially if your “pal” is possessive and has an agenda. Unless you think this is worth a real try, don’t put yourself in any compromising situations. If you’re in a relationship, don’t drag your honey along to too many group gatherings near the weekend—or push yourself to join your sweetie’s crew for an activity that isn’t your cup of tea. One of you could get jealous or need more attention than the other cares to give. So not worth the drama!
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
(April 20 - May 20)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Fluff the ambrosia salad and let the barbecue hopping begin! This Monday, July Fourth the annual new moon in Cancer activates your social butterfly urges. You’ve already had a busy calendar since the Sun moved into the Crab’s domain on June 20. That buzz could get even more electric now, so streamline and prioritize to avoid burning out. As much as you’ll love chatting up the guitar-toting stranger on the subway platform, you want to invest your precious time in people who hold more than just passing interest. Be intentional with your extracurricular plans. Do you see potential for a joint venture or a creative collaboration? The third house rules partnerships, and this new moon could kick off a dynamic duo that evolves over the coming six months. Network in the neighborhood, because the local scene could serve up tons of unexpected opportunities. If nothing else, frequenting the homegrown venues and participating in summer events (or hey, even organizing a block party or apartment-wide clothing swap) will make you feel more at home in your ‘hood; plus, it keeps the local color vibrant. The third house also rules transportation and communication. Does your ride need an upgrade? If you’re spending more on gas and repairs than the cost of a monthly lease it may be time to retire the hooptie and settle into a hybrid. Getting around with ease is important now, given the reboot your social life is getting. You may also start traveling more frequently between neighborhoods or decide to give bi-city living a go over the coming six months. Give the commuter lifestyle a try and see what it’s like to live between two places that speak to different parts of your soul.
On Wednesday, make like Taurus Barbra Streisand and recognize that people who need people are the luckiest people in the world. With cosmic co-pilots Mars and Venus forming a simpatico trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/) you’ll blend your energy beautifully with the other kids’ on the planet. Firecracker Mars is in your cheeky and communicative third house while Venus—the Tina Fey to your Kimmy Schmidt—is cruising through your seventh house of partnerships. Do you see a dynamic duo bubbling or a more propitious way to join forces within an existing partnership? Address the attraction or the synergistic spark. And if you get a warm response, be bold (Mars) and pitch a few “how about we” possibilities on hump day. This is also a fateful day for networking with new people, swiping right on dating apps and doing general outreach. “Carpe DM” and send a direct message to someone you’d like to meet or join forces with. Even commenting on their post or retweeting them can be magic. Take a chance!
One day later, however, you’ll need to be a bit more guarded about who you let past those red velvet ropes. And definitely run the background checks on any of the “amazing people!” you met on Wednesday. Unpredictable Uranus in your twelfth house of illusions will butt heads with Venus, cautioning against naivete, or even taking a purely rose-tinted view of situations. Also on Thursday, the Cancer Sun in your communication zone will make its annual opposition to bristly Pluto in your honest-to-a-fault ninth house. Everyone has a shadow, Taurus, and it’s better to know it than to pretend you’ve discovered an issue-free unicorn. Conflicts you haven’t wanted to deal with—particularly concerning a peer like a sibling, neighbor, coworker or close friend—could just explode. But Pluto’s vengeful rage could destroy a small village if left unchecked. When you start seeing red, do NOT start compulsive-texting or even trying to iron out the matter. It’s almost certain that Thursday’s combustible, combative stars will skew your vision—and even bring an extreme 180 from Wednesday’s lovefest. To avoid being labeled “the crazy” (and sadly, not without good reason) move energy out of your body with vigorous exercise and spend time with friends who let you vent without heaping fuel onto the fire. You need to be talked down from the rooftop, not pushed further off the ledge. But since there’s certain to be at least one important kernel of truth buried in your end-of-week ire, write a letter (that you’ll never, EVER send!) to get those raw emotions out. Once you do, it will be easier to remix them into talking points when you’ve cooled down enough to have the important conversation.
The Sun-Pluto opposition can also make you restless, craving more variety and challenge from the work that you’re doing. Maybe it’s time to start delegating or outsourcing certain tasks so that you can concentrate on the work requiring more strategizing and intellect. Mix up your schedule with a lunchtime walk or yoga class. Don’t keep your nose buried in your laptop, either. Instead of distracting yourself with social media, make plans that involve live human interaction. Tuck away your mobile devices when you’re having lunch with a coworker or friend so you can concentrate on the conversation happening in real time instead of the one on your Instagram feed.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
(May 21 - June 20)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Who says punching the clock is the only path to fortune? This Monday—Independence Day, in the USA—there’s a new moon in Cancer and your second house of income. You may find yourself fantasizing about springing free from the 9-5 grind or at least building more autonomy into your job. Cancer is the zodiac’s domestic sign. Maybe you’ll set up a home office then negotiate a few work-from-apartment days—or make it your full-time remote workspace. Since Cancer is the sign that governs women, get out and mingle with the power babes. Monday’s moonbeams could spark a successful sister act that evolves into a profitable venture over the coming six months. Regardless of how you earn your daily bread, train your sights on the next rung of the ladder. Then get into action because your bank account isn’t going to refill itself. Polish up your resume and social media profiles; craft a compelling bio and have a talented friend snap a photo that shows your spark and personality. Even if you’re a hired gun, it never hurts to have a strong web presence so that people can see your accomplishments when they run a search. Are you ready to call a recruiter or file an official project bid or job application? Give your pitch or presentation one last review on Monday so you’re ready to pull the trigger when everyone’s back in the office on Tuesday.
Of course, bumping up to a higher pay grade won’t matter much if you burn every dollar as fast as you earn it. This new moon sounds the call for budgeting. If the b-word makes you break out in a cold sweat, get the support of a financial planner who can help you divvy up your dollars so you have enough tucked away for the future without starving yourself of an entertainment budget. A Gemini cannot survive on (packaged) Ramen alone. Designer Udon? Well, maybe. Fortunately, Wednesday’s propitious trine (120-degree angle) between decadent Venus and go-getter Mars will hit the financial houses of your chart and churn up motivation for the cause. Venus rules the possessions that bring us pleasure, while daring Mars gives us the gumption to go after our dreams. This somewhat rare cosmic alignment can give you the Midas touch with people who are already in your contact database. Have lunch with a former colleague, your boss or a client with whom you see potential for greater expansion. Tap Venus’ charm to make pleasant chatter before going in for the kill with Mars-fueled swagger. (Bam!)
If you’re in a relationship, the Mars-Venus trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/) helps you easily talk about the basics of your love connection—how you coordinate schedules, share money, even daily rituals like who will go grocery shopping and how to support each other with work, sleep, and living a healthy lifestyle. With Mars in your sixth house of service, you might realize that Taskrabbit-ing a few dreaded chores (or having Amazon Fresh delivered or hiring a babysitter…) could take some of the heat off your relationship. Squabbling about mundane bull**** is such an erotic buzzkill! Someone you considered snoozeworthy last week could suddenly impress you with their unwavering stability and solid common sense. Perhaps a second date WOULD be worth your time. And on Thursday, Venus will clash with disruptive Uranus in your eleventh house of community. Silence the peanut gallery—or, let’s be honest…stop opinion polling them for love advice because this is actually drowning out the wisdom of your own intuitive desire. Pause from posting on social media for a couple days, too, because Thursday’s stars can make you WAY too sensitive to people’s comments…or lack thereof.
There’s a bit more complication in the skies as well on Thursday, as the Sun in Cancer and your sensual second house directly opposes intense, controlling Pluto in Capricorn and your possessive eighth. Feelings of envy, fears of abandonment, and competition that verge on cutthroat could take you to some scary places if you let your emotions get the best of you. Swaddle yourself in support by hanging with your BFFs instead of the button-pushers. But even with your squad, pay attention to the emotional energy in your conversations. If intensity starts to escalate—even if you’re “relating” to one another—pull the plug. The last thing you need is to get worked up or depressed when all you wanted to do was enjoy a long lunch. But it can happen, Gemini, since it’s your nature as the zodiac’s twin to want to “relate” to everyone. Leave the fireworks to the July Fourth pyrotechnics experts or, hey, enjoy them in the bedroom! The Sun-Pluto opposition CAN bring some seductive surprises if you concentrate on attracting love instead of drama.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
(June 21 - July 22)
WEEK OF JULY 04 - 10, 2016
Let freedom ring! This Monday, July Fourth the annual new moon in Cancer gives you the green light to liberate yourself from baggage, drama and draining obligations. This lunation is like your cosmic New Year, Crab. Sit down with your journal or vision boarding supplies and set a few inspired intentions for the rest of 2016. So what if you weathered some trying times since last summer or made mistakes you’d like to bury in the vault? (Cue signmate Ariana Grande’s donut-licking downspiral or Cancer Selma Blair’s airplane evacuation…um, oops.) It’s time to stop kicking yourself and move on! While the fireworks burst overhead, raise a champagne flute to the milestones you’ve achieved and the golden lessons all those challenges instilled in you. You’re stronger, smarter and savvier now, Cancer. So…what’s next? As you map out your long and detailed wish list (or gather images for that vision board) embrace the spirit of independence. For a change, you can put your nurturing nature on hold and think of YOUR needs and happiness first. Surely you’ve heard the expression, “happy wife, happy life”…a favorite mantra of the gilded Real Housewives of New Jersey set. Replace that spousal moniker for “Cancer” and remind yourself that your joy will spiral out and uplift your entire family and community. But you won’t be able to affect positive change for your peeps if you’re burnt out, exhausted and resentful. Now, how about booking that 90-minute Thai massage then signing up for a ten-pack of private lessons with a teacher you adore?
Wednesday will find you in a lovestruck groove as celestial lovebirds Venus and Mars dance a sexy paso doble via a 120-degree angle called a trine (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/trine/). Venus is flowing through Cancer, boosting your confidence high AF while Mars is simmering in Scorpio and your fiercely flamboyant fifth house—and together they’re cranking up the temps. Take the lead in love on hump day—or drop some truly obvious hints. But one thing is for sure: You’ll revel in attention that day so steer clear of situations that demand “selfless service” or activate your caretaker gene. If you’re a performer—or simply want to blow up Instagram—Wednesday is THE day to treat the world like your personal MGM Grand Theater. Punch up your presentation with bright color, vivid metaphors and peacock-level feather fanning. Err on the side of being “too much” and you’ll basically hit the mark. The world is your catwalk on Wednesday!
Thursday is an entirely different story—so don’t get carried away with the “sashay, chante.” A different kind of “work” will be required as disruptive Uranus in your tenth house of long-term goals squares off with Venus in Cancer (http://astrostyle.com/aspects/square/). Timing is everything when unleashing your wild side, so don’t play with fire if it could burn professional bridges. Limit the “liquid courage” when out with clients or colleagues (or stick to sparkling water) and if you didn’t pitch your radical idea on Wednesday, sit on it until next week.
Also on Thursday, the Cancer Sun will make its annual opposition to nefarious Pluto in your seventh house of relationships. Uh-oh. The person you fell head over Kinky Boots for during Wednesday’s theatrical rush might have some “irreconcilable differences” that are standing in the way of it being an all-systems go. (A spouse, an assignment in Southeast Asia that starts August 1, an ex who just won’t move out, that type of thing). Or your need for space could rear up, perhaps in response to all of Wednesday’s intense closeness. But whoa, backlash! Your partner or BFF could throw an epic “don’t leave me!” fit, just as you’re about to have a much-needed “me first” moment. With such annoying timing, your temper could flare. Can you just get a break from being everybody’s mother?!? Weigh the pros and cons carefully before you just revolt and go MIA. You certainly don’t want to reward clingy behavior, but pushing people away could do lasting damage, too. Strike a compromise by making plans with this person AFTER you’ve carved out a healthy chunk of time for yourself. Surprise! You might realize that you were also missing the bond. Towards the weekend you could be caught off guard by an attractive person’s attention. Don’t let your automatic defenses kick in—the ones that cause you to ignore the sexy soul who’s giving you butterflies. If nothing else, it’s flattering to be adored like this. And with sultry Pluto firing up your libido, this could turn into a memorable summer love affair…or some erotically-charged fuel for your tanks that you can bring home and enjoy with your bae.
