Happy summer, sunshines!
After last week’s turbulence, this week brings a calmer vibe from the cosmos, with only a few meaningful transits shaping the energy. Those transits, however, are potent: they open the door to closing old chapters and invite fresh beginnings.
The week begins under a Full Moon in optimistic Sagittarius, while the Sun prepares to leave airy Gemini and enter the cardinal water sign Cancer — a shift that officially ushers in the season of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Monday’s Full Moon in lucky Sagittarius highlights endings and completion. You may find yourself wrapping up projects at work, resolving relationship issues, or clearing out toxic influences. If something in your life isn’t working, this is a favorable window to address it — the energy supports decisive action. You can continue to make Full Moon wishes and set intentions for these changes through Wednesday.
By Thursday the Sun slips into Cancer and the Summer Solstice arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing the longest day of the year. Take advantage of the light and warmth — a great time for celebration, connection, and soaking up sunshine. In the Southern Hemisphere, this same moment marks the Winter Solstice: shorter days, quieter rhythms, and an invitation to rest and restore.
These planetary shifts set a tone for the season ahead and could influence how the rest of summer — and even the year — unfolds. What transformations do you want to initiate this season? Which intentions will you start acting on this week?
Keep an eye on your Daily and Weekly Horoscopes for more specific guidance throughout the season. And don’t forget to make your Sagittarius Full Moon wishes count.
