Witchtip: With all of the frenetic energy happening this week, it’s important to journal your feelings. Take time out to write down how you feel. Make this part of your daily practice when you wake up or before you go to bed. That way you can note the changes that are occurring in your personal world and let a lot of your frustrations out in a healthy way. 

Aries 

Showing your friends that you're there for them will help you realize that the feeling is mutual. By connecting with the people you care about you’ll feel lighter, happier, and more at peace. Just make sure you take turns speaking and keep the convo light to avoid arguments from arising.

Taurus 

You may find that you're being given unexpected opportunities that occur out of the blue or have started to rethink career aspirations. Make sure that you're putting in the effort to manifest change and abundance. Don’t be afraid to say "yes" to unexpected opportunities that will lead you to amazing places.

Gemini

A sense of peace will just send on you, as you’re focusing solely on finding inner peace and relaxing throughout this week. Try to keep an invisible shield around you to ensure that you don’t let any negativity deplete your energy inside the positive orb you have created for yourself.

Cancer 

Take some time to evaluate your friendship circle. You may find that some people who you’re close with her not the first forms of support. Therefore, you should consider how much you still want them in your life. Try to surround yourself with lots of positivity and good vibes now.

Leo 

Professional changes are occurring at an exponential speed, making you consider a different route in how you approach your swinging career. Go with the flow in order to make changes happen without any issues. The more you resist growth, the harder it will be to evolve at the right pace.

Virgo 

You’ll be energetically tested and pushed to your limit this week. Remember to pace yourself, think positively, and take a time out to relax and wind down when you're overwhelmed. Don’t feel bad for calling an early night when exhausted. Your rest and needs surpass anything and everything right now. 

Libra

You will feel as though you're running around in circles or obsessing at certain points of this week, but it is only so the universe can point out where change needs to occur. Don't be afraid to move away from situations that are holding you back from evolving and growing.

Scorpio 

You may find yourself arguing with people more than usual and your differences may be more apparent than ever. It’s important to learn how to move past any conflict that arises when it comes to matters of the heart swiftly in order to establish a strong foundation between you both. 

Sagittarius 

Having an artistic outlet is a great form of expression. You have ideas for projects in your mind, but if you don't take the first steps to get them off the ground, they may never happen. Add discipline to your creative arts, so you don't fall away from them completely.

Capricorn 

Things aren’t happening as fast as you’d like, which is a source of contention and frustration for you because standing still can be dull. Luckily, your sign understands that growth takes time. Stay focused on the things you hope to accomplish and you may just emerge from this week unscathed.

Aquarius 

Finding structure will help you move forward in life, so don't shy away from slowing down to think things through before making any serious moves in the upcoming days. You may also want to avoid arguments with people who think that they know what’s best — even though they don’t.

Pisces 

Despite your calm exterior, you are one of the most driven and motivated members of the zodiac. Remember that work isn't the only thing that matters, and try to set aside some time for play. Try to enjoy the summer breeze and fun that each day can bring to you.
