Your horoscope for the week ahead: The last quarter moon in Pisces will help you tune into your true feelings

It's OK to take a break to look at the bigger picture. Keep that in mind as the moon wanes into its last quarter in sensitive Pisces at the beginning of the week, putting us on edge and making us antsy to achieve results quickly. If you feel like you're too focused on pleasing other people, it's a good time to take a step back, collect your thoughts and gain more perspective on your emotions. 

The longest day of the year arrives on Tuesday for those in the Northern Hemisphere, as the sun makes his way into the intuitive sign of Cancer. Celebrate the summer solstice by soaking up sunshine with friends and family. We're about to embark on a season that prioritizes strengthening our roots and finding our own versions of domestic bliss. 

We'll also be encouraged to invite intrigue into our relationships on Tuesday, when charming Venus forms a trine with transformative Pluto. If you're single, this could be an excellent day to connect with someone special. Those in partnerships may notice things heat up too, so be sure to take advantage of this energy by tapping into your sensual side. If romance is the last thing on your mind, know that this transit can also inspire us to reinvent our image. Don't be afraid to experiment with your style and take some risks. 

Then on Wednesday, love-and-beauty-ruling Venus enters inquisitive Gemini, amping up the flirtatious energy even more. Venus is dignified in Gemini, meaning that she enjoys moving through this sign, strengthening our ability to socialize as she goes. Despite this, you may find that it's a bit challenging to stay focused on any one person, as our minds can change quickly under this influence. Try not to take it personally if you fall off someone else's radar, and simply redirect your attention to a new conversation instead. Think of this transit like a party full of friends that you're bouncing around — there's always someone else to catch up with. 

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, June 20, 2022.

Aries

Let yourself fall into a rabbit hole this week, Aries. As you seek to nurture yourself with wisdom and adventure, making some adjustments to your routine could help open you up to an exciting new world of knowledge. It's also a great time to create your own fun at home. If you're feeling the urge to throw a party, perhaps you'll want to invite your favourite people over for a game night to satisfy your competitive side. Over the weekend, you could devise a brilliant strategy that you can apply to your work. Keep a pen handy and get your ideas out on paper so you'll be prepared to forge ahead next week.

Taurus

Conversations with family will be the focus this week, Taurus. Seize the opportunity to reconnect with loved ones and enjoy each other's company as you reminisce about your shared past. You could set out to learn something about your family history or perhaps even arrange a reunion. Meanwhile, no matter your relationship status, you'll want to give the object of your affection your full attention. If you're single, you could enjoy a little mystery while attracting an enchanting stranger. Attached Taureans can take this chance to reignite their passions with their partners, thanks to a spicy meeting of planets. 

Gemini

Consider all the possibilities, Gemini. You may find that you're feeling extra hopeful this week, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Single Geminis will have the chance to fill their social calendars — and perhaps meet a few potential love interests in the process. If you can find someone who can command your attention, all bets will be off. If you're coupled up, try opening up a new dialogue about shared goals. You'll want to be wary of making hasty financial decisions during this time, as our emotions will be quick to cloud our minds. Before you make any big money moves, seek an outside perspective and evaluate all your options. 

Cancer

Your sensitivity is an asset not a weakness, Cancer. So if you're feeling like you need to retreat from the world, take a moment to recuperate in solitude this week. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for; you just need to learn to lean on your intuition a little more. Then, when you're ready to step back into the spotlight, you'll be able to do it with flair. Home improvement projects may also begin to bubble up during this period, but staying focused on any one idea could be challenging. Making a list will help you ensure that you can get to each of them in good time. 

Leo

Now is the time for introspection and self-forgiveness, Leo. You're feeling contemplative this week, and may be called to cleanse your emotional world and reflect on your connection to all things spiritual. A puzzling problem at work could help get the wheels in your mind turning as well, with potentially groundbreaking solutions emerging from unusual places at home. Just make sure to harness the lightning bolts of inspiration that strike this week, otherwise your energy could quickly become untethered. 

Virgo

Pivotal conversations regarding your career await this week, Virgo. If you've been working hard to achieve a professional goal, connecting with your loved ones could be just the thing that helps you open up and unwind so you can make positive steps toward success. So when you're ready to mentally clock out, check in with your favourite people and make a plan to soak up the sunshine together. Your mind may also fill with new ideas for handling your finances during this period. If you're feeling pulled in too many different directions, be sure to seek advice before you commit to anything in writing. 

Libra

Allow yourself to be vulnerable and you could be pleasantly surprised, Libra. Opening up about your inner world or even talking about your faith could help you build new friendships with people who share your perspectives. If a project at work has been lingering, you may finally be able to wrap it up with a bow this week. Trust that everything will work out, and you'll be able to move onward and upward while avoiding unneeded stress. Remember that your ability to create abundance is powerful. If you're ready to share the wealth, your generosity will not go unnoticed. 

Scorpio

Your mind craves stimulation, Scorpio. Keep it satisfied and sharp by investing time in learning skills that could fuel your professional progress. Choose a subject that thrills you, and you just might find yourself in an exciting new world. While you typically carry an air of mystery, you could meet your match this week. If you're single, enjoy the chase and keep your options open as charismatic strangers enter the dating pool. It may be hard for any one person to capture your attention during this time. Partnered Scorpios can find enjoyment getting cosy with their loved ones and soaking up their affection. 

Sagittarius

Let your passion be heard, Sagittarius — just make sure you find the right way to share your ideas with the world. If you focus on consistently opening new dialogues, you could gain fresh insights and make some friends as you go. This week, you may also find yourself adopting a new attitude toward change, allowing you to adjust more easily in turbulent times. Practicing mindfulness can help you embrace fluctuations even more effectively and better understand the mysteries that once escaped you. Experiment with new recipes, workouts and schedules to see what suits your current needs, and you could end up discovering something delicious or delightful.

Capricorn

Try not to put so much pressure on yourself and those you care about, Capricorn. You may be tempted to look for hidden meaning in messages this week, but if you can learn to let go of what you can't control, you'll be on the right path to achieving self-love. With relationships on the brain, you'll also gain a better understanding of the balance of giving and receiving within some of yours, which could help you set more positive boundaries. Meanwhile, your career zone may light up, calling your attention to new projects and positions. As you pursue your goals, be sure to consider your availability. Remember: you can do anything, but you can't do everything. 

Aquarius

It's OK to let some things slide, Aquarius. The high standards you hold yourself to are commendable, but they can also be detrimental to your mental health. It's impossible for you to accomplish every goal you set for yourself this week, so take a break and allow yourself to live in the here and now. You'll be able to refocus your energy and prioritize with wisdom as your health and work zone ignites in the sky. Making sure that you're efficient with your time could help you meet your deadlines faster, too. So before saying yes to any projects, jobs or favours during this time, ask yourself what you're really able to take on. 

Pisces

People notice your passionate spirit, Pisces. Opening up a conversation about what drives you could help you create some exciting connections this week. Use the opportunity to foster new friendships with people who share your interests, and you could be on the way to forging a new partnership or circle of colleagues. Meanwhile, if you find yourself reaching a creative block, don't fret. Try to leave your work-brain behind and reconnect with your playful side as you invite your inner artist to shine. There are tons of thrilling possibilities before you. Use your keen mind to map out your options, and you'll find your way to them in no time.
