GEMINI

MAY 21 – JUNE 20
The month of June begins on a particularly festive note, with a gentle breeze of optimism blowing into your life. Let yourself be swayed by what makes you feel good rather than what you think you should do; the less you compare yourself to others the easier it will be for wealth and happiness to float toward you. In the middle of summer, your desire for spontaneity is hampered by important work obligations. By mid-August, a sense of frustration prompts you to make adjustments—you can’t be everywhere at once. Although your need to shine will have to wait, you may have the chance to see your talents elevated by choosing your projects wisely. You’re particularly sensitive to the Mercury transit, so its retrograde in August could disrupt your domestic and family sphere, prompting you to set aside your pride for more effective communication. During this time, an open and curious mind will be your best asset.

Your summer tarot card is the THREE OF CUPS, which encourages you to make friendships a priority. Deepen your existing connections, and choose your collaborations based on the people you want to get closer to.

CANCER

JUNE 21 – JULY 22
The summer starts with activities that take place behind the scenes—and away from prying eyes. You will need solitude to deal with more spiritual matters and work on getting rid of harmful habits by taking responsibility for your actions instead of blaming others or relevant circumstances. The month of July, on the other hand, offers you the chance to start a new cycle that requires action- and risk-taking. Take advantage of the new moon on July 5 to put your six-month plan in writing. The month of August promises to be a little more chaotic and encourages you to organize yourself better so as not to spread yourself too thin. Be extra careful when communicating, emailing and exchanging information. Ensuring your schedule isn’t too busy will help you avoid careless mistakes.

Your summer tarot card is TEMPERANCE. It reminds you that it is essential to have faith in life and trust that everything happens when the time is right. Be patient, and don’t rush anything.

LEO

JULY 23 – AUGUST 22
The first signs of summer encourage you to expand your social circle. Join a book club, get involved in a political organization or participate in a softball tournament to meet new people. In addition to opening new doors, these encounters can boost your self-esteem. July is a time of deep introspection that requires you to work on your ability to let go. You will need time and an empathetic ear to help you clarify your intentions and motivations. Your astrological season, which starts on July 22, will bring you a boost of energy while shaking up some of your personal relationships. August is a good time to review how your resources—from your monthly budget to the time and energy you give to others—are allocated. Acknowledging your self-worth and making changes based on healthy self-esteem are at the heart of this period.

Your summer tarot card is the FIVE OF CUPS. It reminds you that while disappointment is difficult, it can help you refocus on what’s really important to you.

AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22
The start of your summer promises plenty of professional opportunities and maybe even increased public recognition. While this period may be marked by the achievement of goals and an increase in freedom in your career, you should consider having a system in place to meet the growing demand. In July, you find solace in groups and communities that support your well-being and your need for emotional depth. From mid-July, you feel the urge to retreat to your inner temple and escape from the intensity of the outside world. Honour this need for solitude as it will fuel your creativity. In August, you’re juggling career development with relationships that need your attention. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember that your allies are there to support you. Be creative, and take steps to redefine the balance between these two spheres of your life.

At the beginning of summer, you embark on a very stimulating exploration phase in which travel or learning opportunities could arise unexpectedly. Your intellectual curiosity pushes you to broaden your horizons and shake up your routine. Take advantage of this time to express your ideas, but be sure to avoid doing so too impulsively. July promises to be a time of significant advances in your career, and perhaps there will even be a change in your marital status. What has been slowly growing in your private life is ready to be formalized. In August, you have the chance to review and complete a few projects, which allows you to transition into fall with a burst of freshness. Remember that you’re allowed to make mistakes, so don’t let a fear of failure stop you from taking calculated risks.

Abundance comes in different forms: financial, informational or emotional. Whatever its nature, you learn to recognize life’s gifts and welcome them without guilt, fully appreciating their value.

With the arrival of July, you enter a transition phase that requires you to sort out your life by following your instincts. Write down situations that make you feel overwhelmed, tense or uncomfortable, because they are there to unsettle you just enough to prompt you to make changes. In August, it’s time to review your career ambitions and align them with your values. Ask yourself what is truly important to you, and dare to fully commit to what will bring you closer to the person you want to become.

In July, you feel the need to take care of yourself through a lifestyle that promotes gentleness, slowness and solitude. Avoid being of service to others so much that you forget to meet your own needs. During the month of August, your emotional world might be slightly shaken.

No matter what changes take place, their purpose is to increase your feelings of security, happiness and inner contentment. In July, prioritize activities that help you relax and unwind.
