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The moon turns full in Capricorn on Thursday, urging you to let go of outdated, useless ways of doing things.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.
