Sometimes, we may feel like an ant stuck in a jar with a lid—until one day, we realize the lid is gone, and the sky is the limit. Neptune, the planet of dreams and manifestation, will transition retrograde in the sign of Pisces on July 2. Sensitivity might be high while we focus on our aspirations and goals. As this sensitivity comes to a head, Chiron—which pushes you to deal with issues surrounding your deepest wounds—will transition into retrograde in the sign of Aries from July 26 until December 4. The theme around this time will be to find ways to use your anger constructively and to empower yourself to heal that inner child.

Scorpio
(October 23 to November 21)
Are you evolving if you cannot acknowledge your wrongs? The truth about your past is being revealed. It may be unfortunate timing—but will you make it a triumphant story about overcoming an obstacle, or will it end up being a tale of how circumstances got the better of you? Speak your truth, regardless of what others may think. Love yourself—and embrace your life proudly.
Sagittarius
(November 22 to December 21)
Being judged by those around you never feels good—and it can often lead to self-doubt. Remember that others cannot make you feel inferior without your consent.

The family that chooses to show up and offer support will stand out to you more than ever as you enter a new chapter in your life.

Your lover will show you that your relationship has a fun side to it, so get ready.
Aries
(March 21 to April 19)
Time is limited, and you love to live on the edge. It would not feel right if you did not add a bit of adventure to your journey. What’s a better adventure than a commitment?

Taurus
(April 20 to May 20)

Going through a breakup during the summer months (or at anytime) can be really hard. However, you should look on the bright side. Maybe it is time to prioritize the things you really want, and that will actually make a difference in your life, before the year ends. You’re not a player—you just crush a lot.
