Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)
Talk about a birthday gift: this week brings powerful planetary combos that mean, simply, you're lucky in love, lust, and friendship. If you've been feeling downtrodden and dawg-tired, loosen up, lighten up, and float like the social butterfly you are.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 21)
Life is all about movement, Virgo. And starting this week you've got celestial help to move on up. If you've been house-hunting, job-searching, or looking for a deluxe apartment in the sky, the planets predict success.
Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
Mars is rocking your friendship sector this week, meaning social gatherings, travel, or a last-minute invite to board Aunt Piper's private 90-foot yacht could all be in your future. Wherever you go, you'll feel freer, fuller, and happier than in the past weeks.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Jupiter's been in retrograde, making him more of a tight-fisted elderly grandfather than a benevolent sugar daddy. But he's changing his ways this week: he's moving forward and helping your finances go easy, breezy, beautiful. All the monetary benefits of a Craigslist sugar daddy, but no French maid outfits or intimate Polaroid sessions required. Optional, of course, but not required.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Have you ever stood outside during a summer thunderstorm, the tornado sirens going off in the distance, the sky turning a frightening and exhilarating green -- your lover at the back door, screaming at you to get the hell inside the house? But something makes you stand still, face the rain. You feel the energy coming, and you're ready for it to take you over. Remember that awe, that boldness, that power? Expect more of it this week, sans warning sirens.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
While the rest of the world is slowing down, hiding out in air-conditioned coffee houses, and buying overpriced bottled water to stave off the heat, you'll be on fire. Whether it's the boss demanding blah blah blah, your coworkers giving you etc. etc. etc., or your customers crying for XYZ...you'll have energy enough to please them all. In fact, you'll probably come home super-charged and raring to get busy in the bedroom, too.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You might find yourself in a mental game of Twister this week. Whether it’s a friend, lover, or co-worker, someone’s going to demand that your left hand moves off green and onto yellow, and you’re going to feel like saying hell no. It’s your choice: you can fight, leave the game, or bring your competitor down with you. This might end a harmful relationship. Then again, going down in Twister might throw your relationship in a whole, new, wrestling-on-the-plastic-sheet light.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
I once lived with a professional bellydancer, and it wasn't uncommon to come home and find ten women in the living room, dancing with swords balanced on their heads. Take inspiration from this image, Pisces: this week you'll be able to balance many a task while gyrating through the night.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
There's a famous roller coaster up near Lake Erie called the Gemini: twin cars which race over hill and dale to get to the finish line. This week Mars in Gemini will make you social life race like the best fairground attraction: get ready for your own wild ride.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Venus is in retrograde all August, which means the path to love (or nooky) might not be smooth. If in a relationship, you might argue or question your attraction (why does she floss in bed?). Never fear: now's the time to reaffirm what you really want. And as for any fights: well, make-up sex makes everything better.
Gemini (May 21-Jun. 21)
It's good to have a partner, and this week the stars are bringing partners to you. Whether it's a family member, lover, co-worker, or the guy who runs the falafel stand, you're going to have celestial help all around. Working with someone this week means good fortune, and it's not limited to one event or person. Let your imagination go wild.
Cancer (June 21-July 21)
You've been holding tight to money worries, and holding fast to your remaining cash, but this week planets are spinning, turning, and showering you with some magic moolah mojo. You'll find a way to earn that extra income, new job, or seduce customers. Baby, you could sell new siding to someone who lives in a brick house. So let go, relax — and spend your time holding tight to other things.
