Witch Tip: Being that the Last Quarter Moon is an Aries on July 20, we should focus on the energy and how we can make our lives better. What do we need to get rid of? What do we need to add? Light a white candle on the evening of the 20th and meditate on such questions. Take note of where the inner quest takes you and release others or any situations that aren’t aligning with your current energy.

Aries

Feeling a bit lost, Aries? Spend the next several days committing to a new passion project. This will keep you busy and away from drama. Plus, it will bring you closer to finding your innermost goals and hopes, which is exactly what you need to focus on right now.

Taurus

Life has been pretty busy lately and it’s taken you away from doing the things you love. More importantly, you've been neglecting your self-care routine and it’s beginning to have a toll on your emotions because you’re stressed and exhausted. Be sure to pamper yourself and rest. You deserve it.

Gemini

A thirst for adventure and knowledge will find its way to you this week. There will be an appreciation for both order and chaos under this energy, so be sure to plan out an exciting week for yourself, but leave room for exploration and improvisation to play it by ear.

Cancer

If there are any mundane activities that fell to the wayside over the last few weeks, you should use this time to play catch up. Don't worry though, you won't have to spend the entire time catering to your responsibilities, thanks to the other cosmic action that’ll lead you to fun.

Leo

Even if you're feeling lonely and blue, avoid the temptation to return to toxic situations or relationships. The comfort you feel will be fleeting and isn’t real. But, it’s familiar — even though it is unhealthy for you and can ultimately get in the way of your next great love.

Virgo

Diplomacy will go a long way right now. Therefore, it’s important for you to give others the space to truly be heard. In return, they’ll do the same to you. Alliances will continue to be strengthened, which will also be a time in which your heart softens up to love.

Libra

This week kicks off an inspirational high, giving you a sense of optimism that you are happy to bestow upon others. Even if you encounter a few grumpy birds, your shine and charisma is likely to be contagious, which will surely boost your confidence greatly under the chill planetary action.

Scorpio

The week ahead brings psychic dreaming. If there is anything you need guidance on, ask the universe to bring you answers when traversing the astral realms. Record your dreamland encounters as soon as you awaken, otherwise, you may forget the message before you have a chance to process it fully.

Sagittarius

This week’s energy is great for ironing out any rifts within your relationships, so try to talk things out if your relationships hit a few bumps. Pretty soon you’ll be discussing your future with someone special, as you are connecting over shared dreams and visions for the long road ahead.

Capricorn

Try to avoid frustrating conversational power struggles and watch your words right now, as they have the potential to really hurt someone. Don’t get caught up in pleasing people or putting the needs of others before your own right now because it could cause frustrations or resentment if this occurs.

Aquarius

Don’t get caught up in pleasing people or putting the needs of others before yourself now. Although you want to make sure everyone is copacetic, the one person who often suffers is yourself. Therefore, you should be a little bit more selfish and make sure your needs are met first.

Pisces

Be mindful of how generous you are with others and try not to invest too much time, energy, or money into someone who wouldn't return the gesture. As the week comes to a close, look for reasons to raise a glass with your success. Give yourself permission to dream big.
