As the summer heat rises, so do the passions. Read on to find out what’s coming up for your sign.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
While you may need to go back and attend to an important matter that you forgot this month, there will still be time to make time for some extra sexiness in your life today. A fiery energy wells up within you, and you are filled with burning desire. If you are dating, now is the time when you are most likely to find a partner who can keep up with you. If you are partnered, you may feel that old spark in your relationship.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You may find yourself in an annoying position this month as everything from work situations to your living arrangements will require extra focus on your part. It can start to feel like you’re doing a lot of cleaning up for other people’s messes and mistakes. This is a good month to assert healthy boundaries around what you are and are not available to do, and it’s also a good time to reclaim some of your energy, especially at the end of the month.
Pounds
September 23 – October 22
This month, fiery energy will continue in your relationships, which may manifest itself in passionate and impulsive adventures or quarrels and quarrels over trivial details. Creating the calm you want may take a little extra work, but it is possible with persistence. Things are likely to be more peaceful towards the end of the month.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Big passions give you big emotions this month, which could put you at risk of making some impulsive choices. If you can, try to fully process your feelings before you act. Especially if they come from your relationship with your spouse. Taking time to work things out and being patient during difficult conversations can help. By the end of the month, it will be even more important that you are on the same page.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Lust and desire will ignite your life this month, leading you to pursue adventures in the form of play and intimacy. You may find yourself exploring within an established relationship or while dating. Either way, you’ll probably be too caught up in all the fun to pay attention to the little details, which is something that could come back to bite you at the very end of the month.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Although managing a lot of moving parts is your strong suit, this month you may have to manage some things that are trickier than you’re used to. Because they involve so many messy feelings, it can be difficult to develop a practical strategy for dealing with them all. While you may be tempted to avoid trouble altogether, try to express your own vulnerability instead. This can really help you get started on a path to solving the problem.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Your love life may ask you to come down from your cool Aquarian perch and into the realm of sticky human emotions this month. Otherwise, your significant other or love interest may start to feel like you’re not really there for them, which can make them feel emotionally abandoned in some way. Even if that’s not your intention, you’ll need to put in a little extra effort to show that you’re there and available.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
A major change in material resources may have you rethinking a plan you have already implemented. While this change may initially knock the wind out of your sails, you’ll feel better once you gain some momentum with a new approach. It’s just important to make sure you really think through all the details. You will thank yourself for the end of the month
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You may start this month revisiting the missed details related to some of your most important responsibilities, which may leave you feeling a little worn out. At least other parts of your life are passionate now—especially your love life. Sparks will fly this month, and you’ll be able to venture into a type of sexual expression you’ve never explored. Enjoy it, because the end of the month will bring a different focus.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
This month will begin with a sudden increase in physical energy, which will cause you to exert extra effort in anything you decide to do. While the dramatic increase in your libido that comes with it may be welcome, caution in overextending is now a must. Although you are full of energy, you can easily get over it and potentially harm yourself in the long run. The end of the month will bring a more even energy.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
An urgent situation that arises this month will force you to put your scattered thoughts into a focused plan. That might be a tall order for you today, as you’d rather flirt or occupy yourself with some exciting new thing. But if you don’t give up and do the problem solving that’s needed now, you may regret it at the end of the month.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You’ll likely spend this month focusing on what needs to be done, including changes around projects at home and work. Just be careful of impulsivity. Making big decisions too quickly this month could result in turning things around and starting over. It’s a good month to ask a partner or close friend for help in making sure you’re not missing out, especially when it comes to the meaningful choices you make.
