Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
If this week’s intense full moon of consuming passions sparks any kind of possessive or power-tripping flare-up and things keep simmering, it’s advisable to let them cool down rather than attempt conciliation while people are feeling hot-headed and righteous. Be sensitive to timing. You’ll know when.

Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
Your social sign tends to do better in partnerships than going solo. Therefore, a team-oriented approach makes sense. If power struggles disrupt this week’s cooperative efforts, make sure everyone’s role is spelled out. Delegate to diplomatic, capable people with the ability to negotiate calmly.
Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22

Which leaves you masters and mistresses of mystique charged and pumped to meet challenges with ease and aplomb.
Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
Mars in grandstanding mode this week makes people prone to exaggeration. However, overpromising could attract backlash. There’s nothing wrong with adding a few colourful details. But questionable assumptions are likely to get you called out by no-nonsense Mercury. Be sure you can back up your claims.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
There’s plenty of satisfying practical magic operating throughout this material-world week, which has the upside of showing up and getting stuff done, downside of a tendency to lock into rigid belief systems.

You don’t need a rigid schedule — just a steady rhythm and some dedication.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
Nothing wrong with making sure you maintain creative control, but you wouldn’t want to alienate potential supporters or limit your expansion. Neptune and Venus in your sign suggest this week could benefit from stepping back for a balanced perspective and listening to outside input.
