The best season, in my humble opinion, has arrived: summer. I do happen to be a Leo, which means that my season is quickly approaching, but it’s also the sunny, hot days (and later sunsets!) that I’m pumped for. It’s finally warm enough to dine al fresco and go out without a coat, and our seasonal depression has found the exit. We get almost a full month before Mercury retrograde begins on July 18, so the beginning of summer will be pretty chill. An eclipse in Virgo will shake up the end of summer, but the good news is that this is the last eclipse until 2026. Want more? Your summer horoscopes await.

Aries

Even with the warmer weather, you’ll feel like more of a homebody during Cancer season. It’s a good time to get some projects done around the house or invite friends over for a chill Love Island USA watch party. If you’re planning to move, you could find the perfect place around the new moon in Cancer, so be on the lookout.

Lean into your creative side when Leo season starts by redecorating your home or trying an adult coloring book. You might want to dip your toe back into the dating game during August, too. For those already in a relationship, use the Leo energy to reignite the spark with your partner. Virgo season is all about routine for you, making it a great opportunity to get back to your usual schedule after the chaos of summer.

Taurus

Get your suitcase packed because your summer horoscope says Cancer season will bring chances to get away for a long weekend. Look into day trips you can take from your city to satisfy your travel itch without going too far. Leo season will bring you back to your homebody roots, so take advantage of social invites before it begins in July. You’ll also want to schedule some at-home time because September will be another social period. Now is also the time to make dating a priority, whether you’re single, have just started seeing someone, or have been with your significant other for years.

Gemini

Coming off of Gemini season, when you probably had a social calendar stuffed to the brim with happy hours and brunches, July is a great time to reassess your budget. When Leo season arrives, your travel-loving side will be front and center, so pack your bags and get all your TSA-approved toiletries ready. Leo season will also allow you to show off your communication skills at work or school, which come naturally to you as a Gemini. Considering redecorating your house? Virgo season is a good time to start turning your decor Pinterest board to life.

Cancer

While you’re not usually the show-off type, your season will give you the chance to take the spotlight. Your friends will be vying for your attention, which can feel overwhelming as an introverted Cancer. Try to plan some downtime. The new moon in your sign could also have you rethinking your hairstyle or wardrobe, or you might be considering new career paths.

During opulent Leo season, you might have trouble saying no to little (and not-so-little treats), so keep an eye on your budget and try to avoid making impulse purchases. Virgo season will bring travel opportunities, making now the perfect time to start thinking about where you want to go.

Leo

Leo

Cancer season is your opportunity to slow down after the busy Gemini season. Prioritize self-care by having a cozy movie night at home or booking a massage. When Leo season begins, it’s your time to shine—which is your favorite thing to do, obviously. Milk your season for all its worth by treating yourself and spending plenty of time with friends. Mercury goes retrograde in your sign on July 18, so just be sure to double-check texts and emails and confirm plans to avoid any miscommunications. If you really took treating yourself to the next level during your season, try to pull back on spending in September during Virgo season. 

Virgo

Get ready for lots of social activity during Cancer season. Whether it’s dinner with friends, team happy hours, or networking events, you’ll have a lot going on. Since you’re a planner, ensure your Google calendar is up to date to avoid getting overwhelmed. Leo season will be a calmer time for you. Take advantage of it by blocking off time to relax before your season begins at the end of August. Use Virgo season and the Virgo solar eclipse on September 21 to plan what you want the rest of this year to look like and reassess your goals.

Libra

Career will be your focus during Cancer season. Around the new moon on June 25, you could get a new job opportunity, or there might be some changes happening at your current job. Use Cancer season to work ahead so you’ll have more time to enjoy the end of summer. As a Libra, you love having plans and being around people, making social Leo season the perfect way to finish off summer and head into fall. Get in all your dinners, brunches, and happy hours before Virgo season, when you’ll want to prioritize alone time and relaxation.

Scorpio

scorpio

You’ll start summer off with the travel bug. If you don’t already have a trip booked, try to gather friends or family to plan a big international or cross-country trip. As a deep-thinking Scorpio, you might want to research your recent curiosities or take some classes. Leo season will bring up themes of work for you, so you might want to try working ahead during Cancer season so you’re not drowning in tasks. With the start of Virgo season, your focus will shift to friends and community. Join a book club or pickleball league to meet new people, and gather your friends to host a dinner party.

Sagittarius

sagittarius

Be on your best behavior at work in June, according to your summer horoscope, you could get a raise or a bonus around the new moon in Cancer. Or you might get a job offer for a role that pays more than your current one. With the start of Leo season, you’ll be leaning into your love of knowledge. Browse online courses to take, or head to the bookstore or library to pick up some nonfiction reads. As a travel-hungry Sagittarius, you’ll also be in your element in August because you’ll get the opportunity to travel or plan a major trip. Use your PTO before Virgo season, when you’ll have a lot more happening at work.

Capricorn

capricorn

Prioritize your close relationships during Cancer season, whether it’s your besties or significant other. Around the new moon on June 25, reflect on what you want out of dating or your relationship with your partner or the person you’ve been recently seeing. Money will be on your mind during Leo season. The new moon in Leo and the full moon in Aquarius could bring up new sources of income for you or give you a chance to earn more money. During Virgo season, research classes or workshops you can take to learn some new things related to your career, as your job will be the primary focus of October.

Aquarius

Aquarius

Cancer season is a good time for you to take care of all the errands and duties you’ve been putting off at work and home. Organize your closets, clean the bathroom, or do those dreaded admin tasks at work. You might take an interest in health during this time, too, such as starting a new workout routine or trying to eat more veggies. Leo season will highlight your relationships, so set aside some one-on-one time with your partner or friends. September will have you thinking about money. Use the Virgo energy to reevaluate your spending habits and update your budget.

Pisces

pisces

As a romantic Pisces, you’ll feel right at home during Cancer season. Your summer horoscope says it’s a good time to update your dating app profiles or plan a special date night with your significant other. Cancer season is also the perfect time to get back into hobbies you haven’t had time for.

When Leo season arrives, spend some time getting organized so you’ll feel ready to head into fall, and you won’t get flustered when work and school pick back up. Virgo season will bring your close relationships to the forefront. You can get very daydreamy as a Pisces, so try not to put on your rose-colored glasses with your S.O. or the person you’re dating. Instead, attempt to see things more objectively.
