Aries

You can have a holiday now (even if you can’t leave your neighbourhood, or even the house); a battle is over. The war, however, continues. You already knew there’s nothing outside the war. Rejoice in the return of libido, or you may even be finding it for the first time.

Taurus

A new wound (or a new cycle on an old wound) has been opening in the past few weeks. Relevant themes will start speaking until around this time in September, so look around, listen up, walk it off, and write it down. It could show up as sexual healing, financial mishaps, or something to do with family.

Gemini

Fight the urge to indulge in strenuous or high-intensity exercise; you’re at a higher risk of tearing something or slamming down like a kook. Low-impact activity is a much better idea, but please take caution regardless. Your friends might be too busy for you this year… don’t take it personally.

Cancer

There have been a lot of expansive dreams recently; now they’re simmering down, and it’s up to you to start separating the wheat from the chaff. Talk aloud, sing to yourself, keep it light-hearted. You’re in a sandbox right now: you can build anything and tear it down. 

Leo

Shine, shine, shine like the sun every single day. Shine constantly for the next year and then keep on shining. The light will hit certain things, and you may recoil in horror because now you see it more clearly (for example, your lover, your old friend, your business partner). Let them sort it out themselves so you can continue to focus on going big.

Virgo

This month, you can give yourself a treat by being as obsessive as you want. Don’t put it down until everything measures up to how you want it. This will get easier, more natural, and more positive after the first week. Any group projects or alliances may need rethinking, especially if they’re protecting people who can’t match your exacting standards. 

Libra

Force yourself to meet people in as many different settings as possible. You don’t need to sleep with any of them (necessarily). Give up your religion for a while and don’t ask out your crush; it’s better to keep idealising them for a bit longer. 

Scorpio

Big, heavy doors will start creaking open for you. Many of them will lead to opportunities in career, reputation, and visible action. Don’t be afraid to change your appearance to match your immense drive. This is a good time to apply for academic residencies and placements on the other side of the world.

Sagittarius

If your partner is hellbent on trying to walk over hot coals or backflip off walls, you must let them learn the hard way. You will probably be the one who needs to get them to the hospital, though. Prayer and meditation are becoming easier to concentrate on at this time.

Capricorn

Look after your pets right now. Let your boss crash out on you (don’t rise to it). Accept that writer’s block is heavy at the moment. You might have to clean the place, and it seems like no one else even notices. Romanticise your most far-flung goals, especially around spirituality, study, and travel.

Aquarius

You can be really gay right now; it’s actually fine. You’re now in a position where your understanding of your work—what it is, how you do it, and who it’s for—can finally start to evolve. Don’t rush into any permanent changes to your circumstances just yet, though. Wait, see, and throw your homemade darts at the board.

Pisces

One-on-one interactions will be going well this month, especially if you let them talk for a while longer. Small animals will be kinder than normal to you. Your wallet can recover slowly from last month, but still, small luxuries may need to be minimised.
