Weekly Horoscope: July 11–17, 2022

While it’s natural to want to keep the party going as the summer heats up, this logical lunar partnership calls on you to use some emotional maturity when balancing work and play. According to gravity, what goes up must come down. You experience this on a cosmic level this week, starting with Monday’s sensible (emotion-ruling) moon–Saturn (time manager extraordinaire) sextile. There’s actually room for both on your schedule if you prioritize correctly.

On Tuesday, the seriously driven Capricorn moon trines “just do it” Mars (the planet of action), and this lunar energy won’t let you relax before you’ve crossed everything off your extensive to-do list. Luckily, Wednesday’s tactful trine between (love goddess) Venus and stable Saturn evens you out emotionally and helps you enlist others to assist you with your most tedious tasks. Teamwork makes the dream work—or at least it saves you from having to do it all yourself.

The moon turns full in Capricorn on Thursday, urging you to let go of outdated, useless ways of doing things. Letting go of ideas and formulating new plans and ideas helps you end the week with an optimistic, yet serious, future-focused vibe. And a (self-awareness producing) sun-Mercury (the planet ruling thought processes) conjunction in homebody Cancer helps you wind down and relax at home with friends or family on Saturday, allowing you to recharge and get ready for another busy week ahead.

Gemini

There are lots of responsible planetary influences to help you focus on what’s really important this week, Gemini.

And, before you know it, you’ll have worked through most of your to-do list with plenty of time to spare for fun.

Aquarius

It’s hard for you to remove yourself from the hot social scene, but if you know what’s good for you (and you do), you’ll cancel some dates and activities to focus on what’s going on in that head of yours this week. The full moon on Thursday is in your house of the dreamy loner, which helps you veg out and fantasize about all the magical things you could (or should) be doing.

Even if your bestie doesn’t help you clean out your closet or make dinner for the fam, it’s nice to have their company while you tend to some of your more tedious chores during this lunation. And Thursday’s full moon in your friendship zone ensures you have some help while you plod away at the un-fun things on your agenda.
