Venus In Cancer Is Here & It's Time To Harness Your Emotions

Venus In Cancer Is Here & It's Time To Harness Your Emotions

Refinery296 days ago
The dreamiest part of the season is upon us! Think long walks on the sand, midnight kisses with your boo, and never ending cuddles. Venus in Cancer is bringing it all and more from July 30th to August 25th, and it's about time! We could use some summer lovin'.
Not only the planet of love, Venus also allows us to understand how we align in all kinds of relationships and navigate social dynamics. Venus represents trends, fashion, music, aesthetics, artistry, emotions, taste, and sensual desires. Therefore, it plays a vital role in connecting with ourselves, others, and the world around us. Venus is the goddess of fun, so each of its transits is an opportunity to have a good time and experience life to its fullest.
Now that Venus is swimming into the water sign Cancer, we can rest assured that heartfelt pleasure is around the corner. While Cancers have a rep for being homebodies with maternal and nurturing vibes, Venus in Cancer likes to join the party — just in moderation. Getting motivated to go out can be tough, but once we get our ballet sneakers on, we'll be ready to dance the night away under the glow of the summer moon. Like the flow of water and the turning of the tides,Venus in Cancer is unstoppable once it gets going.
Not to say that Venus in Cancer can't get moody — we all can sometimes, depending on the energy surrounding us. In this transit, Venus uses its pinchers and makes us more aware of our boundaries and limits with others. Sharing our secrets will be hard at times — that is, until we know we can 100% trust others. Who can blame us for wanting to know who we're spilling our tea with? It's wise to be astute and selective when it comes to who we allow in our orbit.
In the next few weeks, our creativity will shine. Venus in Cancer likes to forge its own path — like the crab walking sideways — to bring fresh perspectives. We'll be inspired to do things our way in our own time. Our talents and projects will take center stage, even if we shy away from the attention. Privacy is essential to Venus in Cancer because home life is sacred. Friends become family and those close relationships become a vital part of our existence.
We also might be extra sensitive during this time, so keep a box of tissues nearby. Remember, it's not a bad thing to get tearful; it's cathartic to release repressed feelings. Join the Emotional Hearts Club and be a crybaby — we'll all be in the same boat, so you won't be alone. It's the perfect time to harness those feelings: get nostalgic and sentimental by scrapbooking or making a collage of memories for social media and tag your crew.
While we want to be appreciated and valued the same way we do others, this astrological transit makes us more protective of our hearts. Once we crack open our hard exteriors and let people in, we will see how much support and kindness they can share. It'll take a while to build the rapport and trust, but once it's established, we'll have lifelong besties and partners.
This summer's Venus in Cancer pops because the romantic planet squares Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries on August 1st, a day that will bring intense energy; making us feel stuck. The best way to get through it is to go with the flow. The following 24 hours of August 2nd brings new energy to fight the good fight and make moves. Venus and Jupiter form an ultra-tender connection in Cancer on August 12th, making it a great day to ask for a raise, go out with friends, and check out the dating apps (update your photos and bio on August 12th for maximum results). Love and luck are in the air; use them to your advantage. Venus in Cancer gets a push from the Nodes of Destiny to embrace a karmic connection — maybe even a soulmate!

Your August Horoscope Is Here—Bring on the Magic, Luck and Romance!

Every year, August—the month hosted by the dynamic, charismatic fixed fire sign Leo and the sensitive, service-oriented mutable earth sign Virgo—offers the chance to celebrate what makes you special and find magic in everyday details. And in 2025, August presents plenty of opportunities to infuse your life with more creativity, romance, beauty and pure luck. A few key days to bear in mind as you move through this whimsical, sunny, late summer moment: On August 6, Mars, the planet of action and energy, leaves detail-oriented Virgo for partnership-focused Libra. It might be more challenging to express angry, aggressive emotions but you'll find you can more readily harness the power of diplomacy. On August 9, the full moon in Aquarius will spotlight any opportunity for healing in relationships — especially platonic bonds. On August 11, Mercury retrograde in Leo finally ends, and slowly but surely, you'll notice it's easier to connect, communicate, interact with technology and get where you need to go. August 12 marks one of the most romantic days of the year when sweet Venus pairs up with lucky Jupiter in heartfelt Cancer, bolstering optimism, joyfulness, creativity and positivity tied to relationships, beauty and earning. On August 22, Virgo season kicks off with the sun's move into the thoughtful, wellness-conscious, supercommunicator earth sign, and the following day, August 23, the new moon in Virgo invites you to kick off a new chapter linked to amplifying balance and wellness. On August 25, Venus moves into Leo, which will bring a surge of glittery, theatrical, generous and action-oriented vibes to how you relate to others. Here's how to take advantage of this month's celestial events, based on your zodiac sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don't, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.) Aries Your one-on-one bonds and the playful, artistic side of life will be your focus more than usual this month, Aries, because your ruling planet, go-getter Mars, will be in your partnership sector from August 6 to September 22. You'll be challenged to manage conflicts in a very different way than usual as the tone is set for more diplomacy and holding space for all sides of any issue. Then, you could be celebrating the culmination point of a team endeavor around August 9 when the full moon lands in your groups sector. This is also an opportunity to reflect on your approach to a big picture aspiration — and, if necessary, change course. Thankfully, messenger Mercury's retrograde wraps up in your self-expression zone on August 11, so you'll once again have the wind in your sails as you share your creative ideas and speak from the heart. You can also look forward to more spontaneity and lighthearted moments with your nearest and dearest as sweet Venus spends time in your romance zone from August 25 to September 19. Click through for more on Aries. Taurus Whether you're spending more time reveling in beloved traditions with loved ones or planning magical date nights with someone special, August invites you to nurture the relationships that nourish your spirit, Taurus. At the same time, from August 6 to September 22, go-getter Mars' presence in your health zone can fuel impressive results when you put your nose to the grindstone with a fitness routine or game plan for checking off everyday to-dos. Around August 9, when the full moon falls in your career zone, make a play for more recognition or a chance to boost your sense of authority, which can prove emotionally fulfilling. Then, on August 11, after three weeks of causing slowdowns in your home life, Mercury ends its retrograde, paving the way for greater forward movement with projects around the house or productive heart-to-hearts with loved ones. Your closest bonds and artistic impulses also benefit from the sun's trip through your romance and self-expression zone from August 22 to September 22. Tune into your heart's desires to set a powerful, related intention around August 23. Click through for more on Taurus. Gemini The last month has been especially busy and probably a bit frenetic, thanks to messenger Mercury's backspin in your communication zone, and that's definitely still the vibe for the first week or so of August. You can look forward to a surge of feel-good, creative energy that'll take your love life to the next level as a result of action-oriented Mars spending time in your romance and self-expression zone from August 6 to September 22. Your restlessness will be magnified, requiring you to make a move to shake up your mundane routine around August 9, thanks to the full moon in your adventure sector. And two days later, on August 11, when your ruling planet Mercury finally moves forward, you'll begin to encounter fewer obstacles when it comes to connecting with others and dealing with tech and transportation. Consider making a bold financial move when money-savvy Venus pairs up with lucky Jupiter in your income sector on August 12. And when the sun moves into your home zone on August 22, you'll step into a season that's tailored to bonding on an even deeper level with your loved ones. Click through for more on Gemini. Cancer The month kicks off with go-getter Mars landing in your home zone on August 6, which could spotlight conflicts with loved ones. Though facing challenging emotional issues with family sounds like the absolute last thing you'd like to do, taking a proactive approach now could ultimately bolster mutual understanding. Emotional conversations, perhaps related to shared resources or sex, prove healing around August 9, when your ruler, the moon, will be full in your intimacy sector. If you've been dealing with crossed wires around moneymaking endeavors or your earning approach, you'll breathe a sigh of relief once Mercury ends its retrograde in your money zone on August 11. Until September 2, you can gain clarity and build momentum on projects that were delayed. August 12 marks one of the most fortunate, heartwarming moments of the year — for you especially — when romantic Venus and lucky Jupiter pair up in your sign. Share your desires and dreams with someone special, and you'll be thrilled by just how quickly you get on the same page. And as the sun moves through your communication zone from August 22 to September 22, you can prioritize learning experiences and connecting with your social circle. Click through for more on Cancer. Leo With your season in full swing as the month kicks off, you'll be feeling the positive, confidence-bolstering vibes of your ruling planet spending time in your self-image zone. You could feel pulled in a variety of directions, eager to learn and socialize and travel more than usual once go-getter Mars is in your communication sector from August 6 to September 22. You might find you have to face challenging emotions within your one-on-one relationships around August 9, when the full moon falls in your partnership zone. The good news: Facing any difficult dynamics or clear imbalances head-on can be empowering. And on August 11, when Mercury ends its retrograde in your sign, you can make strides on passion projects that were held up and set the wheels in motion on any lightbulb moments you had over the last three weeks. You'll do well to make bold moves on August 14 and 18 when Mercury syncs with dynamic Mars. And while your season may wrap up on August 22, Venus, the planet of relationships, will enter your sign on August 25, making you a magnet for more pleasure, romance and beauty until September 19. Get clear on what you want in your heart of hearts, and you'll be right on track. Click through for more on Leo. Virgo Welcome to the month that ushers in your season, Virgo! The sun's time in your spirituality sector — not to mention, your ruling planet, messenger Mercury's retrograde there — has made for a more low-key vibe. Now, Mars moves into your money zone, boosting your energy to bring in cash, possibly kicking off a new entrepreneurial effort or side hustle. Although you'll be fired up to hit the ground running, you could find you're feeling a bit rundown or simply motivated to streamline your everyday routine around August 9, when the full moon falls in your wellness sector. Take a time-out for extra self-care. Then, once Mercury ends its retrograde on August 11, you could find that you'll feel more centered as a result of any self-reflection and healing you've been doing over the previous three weeks. This sets the stage for you to enter an even more self-assured headspace once the sun moves into your sign and self-image sector on August 22. Take advantage of the new moon by tuning into your intuition to pinpoint an ambitious dream. Then, take a concerted step toward making it a reality. Click through for more on Virgo. Libra Leo season is one of the most social times of the year for you, thanks to the sun moving through your networking zone until August 22, and adding even more fuel to this exciting, buzzy moment is go-getter Mars launching into your sign on August 6. Until September 22, you'll have the wind in your sails to assert yourself and go to bat for your loftiest goals. You could be feeling downright fiery as the world gets in sync with your approach to taking action. Your creative impulses and desire to infuse everyday life with more fun matters more than ever around August 9 when the full moon lands in your romance and self-expression zone. Dive into an artistic endeavor or plan a memorable date night to make the most of the moment. And once Mercury moves forward in your groups sector on August 11, you can once again build momentum on team efforts or get aligned with friends and colleagues. August 12's sync between Venus and Jupiter could lead to well-deserved recognition from higher-ups. Then, prep for a lower-key, more introspective second half of the month when the sun is in your spirituality zone from August 22 to September 22. Going inward now lays the groundwork for even more productivity and growth in the weeks ahead. Click through for more on Libra. Scorpio With so much action in your career zone until the middle of the month, you're more conscious than ever of what you need out of your professional path. When your co-ruler, go-getter Mars, moves through your spirituality zone from August 6 to September 22, you'll be compelled to step up your self-work, which could inspire you to redefine what success looks like for you. Around the same time, the full moon on August 9 could highlight issues at home or with loved ones that are taking a toll on your heart and mind. Do your best to care for your own well-being while facing these challenges head-on. Mercury goes direct in your career sector on August 11, allowing you to breathe a sigh of relief when you can once more push forward on big picture projects and key conversations with higher-ups. Step out of your comfort zone with someone special to make sparks fly around August 12 when Venus aligns with Jupiter in your adventure zone. Then, take note of your desire to feel more connected to your social circle and to contribute to a collaborative effort — an urge you can more readily fulfill as the sun moves through your networking zone from August 22 to September 22. Click through for more on Scorpio. Sagittarius You're always game for breaking out of your usual grind and soaking up knowledge, as well as commanding the spotlight, so this month was made for you, Sagittarius. For starters, if you've been wishing you could more readily plan fun-filled get-togethers with friends or lively brainstorms with colleagues, go-getter Mars' time in your groups sector from August 6 to September 22 will make it possible to feel more connected. You may be especially adept at leading a particular collaborative charge, but embracing teamwork is what will truly get you across the finish line. And look forward to August 11 when Mercury ends its retrograde in your higher learning and adventure sector, because you can hit the road, work with a mentor or prioritize other horizon-broadening experiences without as many bumps in the road. And from August 25 to September 19, Venus' time there supports your ability to satiate your wanderlust alongside a significant other or loved ones. But you can look forward to a romantic adrenaline rush even sooner than that, on August 12, when cozying up with someone special can't help but set off fireworks when Venus joins Jupiter in your intimacy zone. Click here for more on Sagittarius. Capricorn You've been doing deeply emotional work to feel more comfortable and secure in your relationship with a significant other or someone else special, thanks to the sun moving through your intimacy zone since Leo season kicked off. That theme carries through until August 22, and in the meantime, you'll also be pouring extra energy into your career path, because go-getter Mars enters your professional and public image sector on August 6. You want to be recognized for everything you bring to the table on the job and to be sure you're on the same page as higher-ups, and you'll have the inner fire to make that happen. Around August 9, you'll become more aware of any lack of reciprocity within money- and job-related relationships. It's time to voice and address your needs. Once messenger Mercury ends its retrograde in your emotional bonds sector, moving forward there from August 11 to September 2, you can hit the gas on shared financial goals with a loved one. And August 12 could be especially gratifying when it comes to one-on-one time as a result of sweet Venus joining lucky Jupiter in your partnership zone. The whimsical, fantasy-fulfilling vibes continue through the second half of the month as the confident sun moves through your adventure zone. Now's your chance to trust your gut, and take a leap of faith. Click through for more on Capricorn. Aquarius August throws a spotlight on your relationships even more than July did, because the sun starts out in your partnership zone and moves into your intimacy sector (more on that in a moment). But steel yourself for a wave of adventurous energy, because first, go-getter Mars will shift into your higher learning zone on August 6, motivating you to shake up your routine in whatever way you possibly can. You might book a long-distance trip, make plans to explore beyond your usual neighborhood or even make friends outside of your social circle. Listening to your inner voice and honoring your needs will be especially important around August 9 when the full moon is in your sign, amplifying your sensitivity and desire to feel seen by your nearest and dearest. Mercury ends its retrograde in your partnership zone on August 11, and if you suffered friction as a result of crossed wires, you can readily heal your bond before Mercury moves on September 2. And once the vitality-boosting sun is in your intimacy and shared resources zone from August 22 to September 22, you'll feel more confident when sharing your needs in the bedroom and making impressive moves related to joint financial goals. Click through for more on Aquarius. Pisces Late summer breathes new life into your everyday routine and partnerships, thanks to the sun spending time in those areas of your chart, Pisces. If you've been wanting to detail sexy dreams to a partner or transform a particular fantasy into your reality, take advantage of go-getter Mars in your intimacy zone from August 6 to September 22. This transit could cause a bit of head-butting with a significant other or someone special if you find you're not on the same page in terms of your values, but it'll also fuel your progress on a shared financial aspiration. Mercury ends its retrograde in your routine zone on August 11, so until September 2, you have the green light to tackle to-dos with more fervor and channel mental energy into mapping out — and potentially enacting — a satisfying wellness game plan. On August 12, Venus and Jupiter align in your romance zone, setting off one of the most magical moments of the year for you in particular, so be sure to step away from your usual grind to prioritize playfulness with someone you adore. Then, as the sun shifts into your partnership zone on August 22, you'll be even more game than usual to nurture one-on-one bonds. Whether you want to launch an entrepreneurial effort with a colleague or take your romantic relationship to the next level, you'll feel more self-assured. Make a daring move around the new moon there on August 23. Click through for more on Pisces. For more horoscope content, keep scrolling!

Daily Horoscope for August 02, 2025

General Daily Insight for August 02, 2025 Competing cravings could create conflict today. When relational Venus in sensitive Cancer tangles with big-picture Pluto in compulsively logical Aquarius at 1:46 am EDT, it may bother us that the things we're drawn to don't quite make rational sense. Pushing hard for the most efficient course of action might backfire as motivated Mars misreads touchy Chiron. However, the soul-searching Scorpio Moon then gives Mars some help. Mustering the patience to sort out our complicated feelings should bring us results we'll find satisfying! Aries March 21 – April 19 Your desire to prove yourself could be much stronger than usual. While physical Mars in your materialistic 6th house agitates angsty Chiron in your sign, you may feel like you need to point to concrete achievements in order to justify your existence. As you work through this, strive to avoid taking your insecurities out on your peers — they might not be equipped to give the validation you crave. Thankfully, confiding in a trusted loved one should be an accessible way to find perspective. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Approaching life as a competition may not serve you well at this time. If you secretly hope to control or dominate others, that's likely to be apparent in your communications, no matter how sweetly you try to word things. You're not wrong for wanting to protect your own interests, but there are probably ways to do this that don't involve tearing people down. Try talking directly to someone who's in a position to help you — at minimum, you might receive some welcome sympathy! Gemini May 21 – June 20 Keeping up with your peers could seem key to your emotional security. As abundant Venus in your finance sector looks toward pushy Pluto in your expansive 9th house, you may feel pressured to spend money on a trip or other cultural experience that everyone else is apparently pursuing. Hold on — perhaps you were saving up for a more personal goal! You can probably find a way to make the splurge work if you truly want to, but don't force anything that isn't working. Cancer June 21 – July 22 Asking for what you want has the potential to disrupt a power dynamic today. Unfortunately, you're at risk of feeling guilty after you assert yourself. Wanting to be liked is perhaps part of your dilemma, but you may also miss the basic security of knowing where you stand with the other person while appeasing Venus in your sign conflicts with turbulent Pluto in your collaboration zone. Even if rocking the boat was absolutely imperative, you're not required to be happy about it yet! Leo July 23 – August 22 Prioritizing your material security might challenge some of your cherished assumptions. As driven Mars in your finance zone provokes frustrated Chiron in your dogmatic 9th house, it's likely to become apparent that a belief you hold just isn't working out in the real world. The critical voices in your life may be all too happy to point out your apparent hypocrisy. There's more to the story than they see, though. You can ignore the hecklers and honor the complexity of the situation in private. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Doing what's best for you could threaten a close alliance of yours. As approval-craving Venus in your social sector gossips with manipulative Pluto in your detail-oriented 6th house, you're equipped to spin a version of the story that ensures almost everyone will take your side of the conflict. Before speaking, ask yourself about the purpose of such a tale. Keeping your head down and staying on task is also an option. Whoever is upset may not feel that way forever, so don't escalate things unnecessarily. Libra September 23 – October 22 Stewing in silence over something a significant person in your life did could be tempting today. You may believe expressing your feelings openly would cause more problems than it solved, but the bad vibes are probably less hidden than you think — particularly once seething Mars in your secretive 12th house pokes cranky Chiron in your relationship zone. What would you ask for if you weren't worried about looking good? Managing how others see you isn't always possible, but other desires might be attainable. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 A culture or belief system that's very different from your background may grab your attention without warning. As you determine what you'll do with all the information you're taking in, it'll be dangerously easy to get sucked into arguing about specific details in a way that isn't productive as defensive Mars in your community zone conflicts with anxious Chiron in your picky 6th house. You're currently better off just letting your encounter flow naturally. Gather data now, and make sense of it later. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 The prospect of receiving public recognition could currently be enticing. However, as determined Mars in your 10th House of Reputation clashes with awkward Chiron in your self-expression sector, you may be aware that putting yourself out there would require you to share an uncomfortable amount of personal information. Perhaps you'd be happy enough to receive validation on a more intimate scale, like from the people you're already close with. Consider shifting your focus toward that goal if it's an option. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 A companion might not see eye to eye with you about money at this time. As bombastic Mars in your philosophical 9th house triggers wounded Chiron in your 4th House of Roots, keep in mind whether you and the other individual come from very different backgrounds. If so, that could mean you two learned different things regarding what it means to have a secure foundation. This gulf isn't necessarily insurmountable, but it needs to be acknowledged honestly. Recognize each person's path to the present moment. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Coming down too hard on a sensitive subject in conversation is possible now. As probing Mars in your 8th House of Intimacy misreads guarded Chiron in your communication sector, maybe you're not really sure whether you want surface-level pleasantness or penetrating depth in your encounters with others. Just be careful to avoid giving mixed messages to the people you're chatting with throughout the day. If you're not ready to open up about a particular topic yourself, don't push anyone else to go there! Pisces February 19 – March 20 Someone else could be about to trigger insecurities concerning your finances. While reckless Mars in your relationship zone sets off sensitive Chiron in your resource sector, whatever this person says or does might not even seem that significant to them. They may not be aware of this sore spot of yours if you typically don't talk about it. That doesn't erase your pain, but it can guide your next steps. Focus on the real issues instead of lashing out at the most visible target.

August Tarot Reading: Our Astrologer Reads Tarot Cards For Each Zodiac Sign

All products featured on Teen Vogue are independently selected by Teen Vogue editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. janiecbros August skies are a little less stressful than the previous months, which will hopefully mean this tarot reading will bring more peace. Here's the big planetary picture: Action planet Mars enters Libra on August 6, making us more chill when it comes to how we assert ourselves. We are not looking to fight, instead we wish to resolve situations peacefully. The full moon in Aquarius on August 6 urges us to look forward to the future and embrace our innovative passions. Mercury ends its seasonal retrograde in Leo on August 11, clearing up the story that began when the communication planet began its moonwalk on July 18. The next two weeks will give us a chance to clear up any issues that have been circling our world. The sun enters Virgo on August 22, adding practicality to our lives. The new moon on Virgo on August 23 offers us a chance to get organized and prepare for school as the summer wraps up. Venus moves into Leo on August 25, making us more generous and romantic when it comes to our love lives. But what does this mean for you and your zodiac sign? Here's a monthly tarot reading to help you navigate August with as much clarity as possible. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Aries! Allow yourself to see another side rather than approaching a situation with a predisposed outlook or mood. You might find that with the right attitude, even the most mundane and boring activities are met with fun. Remember, life is what you make of it, so aim to make the most of these moments. Choose to have a positive view instead of a negative one. One door closes, but another opens immediately. Even though you may feel like your world is ending (the drama persists for everyone during Leo season), you may find that the demise of a cycle leaves room to grow into your best self. Change is hard for your Bullish ways, but it'll be worth the effort and work. You'll elevate into a greater emotional space and place. The possibilities are limitless. This is a time of introspection and reflection. Looking inward will help you understand what you wish to bring into your life and what no longer serves you. Be gentle on yourself while figuring things out. The less pressure you put on yourself, the better. It isn't a race to the finish line, so take your time and come to conclusions at your own pace. Let go of the baggage! At times, it can be hard to relate to the boomers in your family. However, you are all trying to relate to each other on a soulful level in the next month. It'll be a moment of discovery, cheer, and camaraderie. You may even entertain an artistic endeavor that could bond everyone. Perhaps baking cakes, visiting the museum, styling Labubu outfits for your recent purchase, or painting seashells will suffice. Your bank account might currently be inconsistent, but that doesn't mean you should stay home and spend time away from your squad. Put on your favorite top and go out. Before committing to plans, let your besties know that you can't be a baller and must spend the evening doing low-key activities. If you require a temporary loan for a few days, ask your friends; they'll happily accommodate your request. Mercury's moonwalk is shaking up your life. It's put you in a mild funk and is escalating your nerves. You could use a reset on all levels. Awaken your senses during Mercury retrograde and retroshade by spritzing on an invigorating scent that adds tremendous energy to your aura and gives you momentum to take on matters that have been left on the sidelines. Do not underestimate the power of scent. Taking on a leadership role amongst your peers isn't what you signed up for. The reason is that you want to be in an equal partnership with those you care about. As much as you try to resist the job of being a guide to others, you'll find that being able to assist the people you love is rewarding in itself, as long as you look cute while doing it. Since a new chapter is coming, you should celebrate the fresh sentiments you're experiencing this month. You'll find that the flowers smell better and your relationships are shaping up — even your lip gloss is more sparkly. The only piece of advice is not to lose track of yourself. Don't break your curfew by staying out late partying with your crew. Try to be responsible and mature with your freedom. Although you are busy auditing and trying to impress others with your esteemed knowledge, you must allow yourself a moment to lean into your inner child as a way to relinquish control. Cut loose and play with toys every now and again to embrace the younger version of yourself that is still alive in your spirit. Age is just a number, so know that you should never deny yourself pleasure. The effect of the four retrograde planets (Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto) is tremendously impacting you. Unfortunately, the past is coming back to haunt you. Old frenemies, classmates, and exes are coming at you, demanding a moment to rehash former battle scars. TBH, you're not up for it this time around. Give yourself a day or two to decompress from the theatrics and relax. Focus on yourself and nobody else. You've been keeping a few secrets close to your heart and some tea is coming out. No one is exposing you; however, the guilt you feel is pushing you to be honest with others. Going forward, you'll make a promise with them to be truthful. Be aware that this doesn't guarantee you will be 100% real 24/7 to everyone, but you will try to be the best version of yourself. Your indecision on matters is leaving you speechless, uncertain, and unsure of what to do. Calling upon your besties for stellar advice when in doubt will offer you the insight needed to get you through difficult situations. Also, do not forget to blend their assessment with your intuition before finalizing a decision. As always, you should listen to the voice within to ensure you're heading in the proper direction, Pisces. Originally Appeared on Teen Vogue Solve the daily Crossword
