Let's be honest. You're known to be a tad rigid in your approach to the world. Although no one wants you to change who you are, chances are you'll enjoy summer a little more if you challenge your tendency to be inflexible -- and investigate whatever it is that's making you so defensive.
If life were a vacation, you'd be on a road trip with no air-conditioning and someone else at the wheel. July and August have you stuck in the metaphorical backseat, with seemingly little control over your life's direction. Fill your time with play and creativity and you might even enjoy the break.
Our advice to you is to take hold of the reins of your current situation. July and August provide you with the chance to shift your perspective, thanks to a few opinions from unexpected sources. Ask folks for their advice; it may transform how you see your circumstances -- for the better.
You're the exception to the astrological rule this summer. Instead of go, go, go, the zodiac insists that you slow down, relax, and smell the proverbial roses. Doing so may mean a trip to a blissful spa or a few quiet and lazy afternoon hours snoozing in a hammock (with your phone turned off).
Before you plunk down the plastic on an appealing purchase, check your motivation. What's spurring this summertime shopping spree? If your buying habits spring from a need to soothe anxiety or boost self-esteem, redirect that energy toward finding the cause of your pain instead.
July and August will usher a fair amount of worry into your sphere. Though it may seem counterintuitive, proceed with the most open heart you can muster. Only from a place of honesty can you safely get involved without putting your emotions -- and psychological well-being -- at risk.
Here's to your summer of love! Go ahead and explore connection and intimacy, but beware of the tendency to merge too quickly -- or to shut down altogether. Schedule some downtime between your hot dates to get a clearer sense of what romantic path you're on, and where you want to go.
Now's the time to take risks. Make a wild romantic gesture toward a worthy suitor, or start a new creative project that challenges you in a fun way. Cultivate an easygoing, flexible summertime attitude, but keep that famous Leo willfulness handy to muscle through any roadblocks.
We dare you: Pay less attention to the details, and let your emotions cue your decision making. This can get a little heavy, so make lots of time for rejuvenating solo adventures that replenish your clarity. Day hikes or an evening soak in a delicious bath can serve as your personal reset button.
This summer is about preparing to wrap things up on the home and intimacy front come fall. That might mean completing a renovation before September or letting go of a soured relationship. Putting the finishing touches on endings makes way for new and much-anticipated beginnings.
Two words for you: Ground yourself. Because the more solid you feel on the inside, the easier it will be for you to make some necessary changes. We see an upcoming opportunity for you to cast off tiresome old patterns once and for all -- and let go of habitual ways that no longer serve you.
While you're busy soul searching this summer, find time to communicate with those closest to you. Avoid some unnecessary drama by letting them know what's on your mind, lest they assume the worst. Careful self-reflection merits reward; knee-jerk reactions to other people's behavior don't.
