Cancer
June 21 to July 22
Is there room for two in that crab shell, Cancer? All month long, the sun is shining in the most relationship-friendly zones of your chart. Powerful partnerships can emerge this month with minimal effort. (Read: your willingness to be open to fate.) Meet people for coffee dates and let friends play matchmaker. With the sun in career-focused Capricorn until the 19th, you could even find love through a work function — or because you decided to say hi to the hottie waiting next to you by the elevator one morning. Cross-cultural connections will be favored by the stars, so keep your ears perked for delicious dialects. Already spoken for? Create more room in your busy schedule for your S.O. Collaborate on a project or plan a vacation for your mutual friends. Traveling could be highly romantic this month, as Venus and Mars unite in your worldly ninth house. You could decide to move in together or make your merger more permanent (ring shopping!) before the month is through. The only catch? Mercury will hover in a signal-scrambling retrograde until January 8. Lovers quarrels could blow way out of proportion — and all based on a silly misunderstanding. Take cool-down breaks when your emotions get the best of you or you could truly do something you regret. A disruptive ex could even make a reappearance in the first week of the month. If you already know how this will turn out, ignore, delete, and block!
Leo
July 23 to August 22
Is that you fogging up the windows of the Pilates studio, Leo? As January launches, the sun is sailing through Capricorn and your wellness zone, getting your self-care missions into gear. Movement helps you beat the winter blues, so splurge a little on a gym or yoga studio that you don't just like — you love. Make this a body-positive mission: With Mercury retrograde until January 8, you could get hooked by the hype about diet and weight goals if you aren't careful. Unless you actually want to know, flex your right to refuse any weigh-ins and BMI tests when applying for your membership. This healthy-living mission should be about feeling energized and radiant, not trying to fit into your eighth grade jeans. (WHY?!) Work will also be busy in January, which is all the more reason to burn off stress with exercise. An old client could return during the retrograde — and if you're looking for work, connect to a colleague from your past. A successful sequel could be in the stars in 2017. And make it your mission to clear all those outstanding tasks off your plate by the full moon on January 12 — or at least set up deadlines and delegate the duties that you can't handle alone.
