The moon moves through Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn as it builds toward a full moon in Capricorn next week. Then, on Saturday afternoon, action planet Mars enters curious and versatile Gemini, where it’ll stay until early September. You’ll probably struggle to stay focused on a single project or goal — you keep trying to do everything at once. Cut yourself some slack if your energies feel scattered and use this as an opportunity to engage with new ideas, to try out new strategies, and to change your mind when the situation calls for it. In the meantime, find the weekly horoscope for each zodiac sign, below.

You’re probably feeling especially restless these days. You’ve waited long enough for life to improve, for your hard work to pay off, and if the universe isn’t going to give you what you want, you’re ready to go out and seize it for yourself. You understand that some things can’t be rushed, that success never truly happens overnight, but you also understand that when you’re too patient, nothing ever gets done. Don’t be afraid to take the initiative, to cause some trouble. In this moment, boldness will take you farther than caution.

Lately, you’ve felt like something important is missing. Maybe you know exactly what it is you’re longing for — romance, more money, a meaningful career — or maybe your yearning is broader, more existential. Your challenge now is to remember that you don’t have to wait for that final piece before you can be happy or before your “real life” can begin. Don’t put off your big dreams in the hopes that circumstances will improve in the future. You’re brave and resourceful, and you’re surrounded by more love than you realize. Why not see what happens if you go after what you want?

Other people, even those who love you, don’t always understand the way you move through the world. Your actions seem disorganized or illogical to them; they wish you’d fall in line and follow their rules. But your methods don’t need to make sense to everyone around you as long as they make sense to you. There’s space to learn from others, but ultimately, you’re allowed to travel your own path. You have room to grow (everyone does!), but you don’t need to grow into other people’s ideals, only your own.

It’s impossible to operate at your full capacity 100 percent of the time, as much as you might wish you could. There’s no way to use every moment of the day productively, no way to move perpetually forward without ever stopping to rest. Give yourself space to be inefficient this week. Pondering is worthwhile, even when you don’t land on the perfect idea; daydreaming is important, even if it seems like an unnecessary indulgence. Sometimes, the wisest move is to hold still for a moment. No time is ever really wasted.

It seems like everyone you know — yourself included — is trying to call the shots right now. All your friends want to lead the pack and all your co-workers believe their ideas are the best ones. Maybe your ideas genuinely are best, maybe you truly are the person most suited to lead, but you’ll get nowhere by trying to dominate everyone else around you. When conflict arises, take a step back. Show others that you’re willing to listen — even, potentially, to be proven wrong. Sometimes, it’s best to display your strength, but this week, you’ll be better off taking a softer approach.

Your ambition is kicking into overdrive this week, but unfortunately you don’t know exactly what it is that you want. Normally, you’re great at strategizing, but right now there’s no specific object of your longing, just a surge of nebulous desire. How can you work toward a goal if you aren’t even sure what it is? So don’t worry about getting results, at least for now. This is an opportunity to keep an open mind as you figure out where you want to go next. The planning and hard work can wait until your mind is a bit clearer.

You’re not scared to take risks. It’s just that when you do, you try to be smart about it, doing your research and calculating the odds before making any moves. This week, ask yourself whether you’re being a bit too cautious. Careful planning can be tremendously helpful, of course, but it isn’t make-or-break right now. What you need most is boldness and drive. You’re capable of so much, and you can handle whatever the universe throws your way. Have the courage to bet big on yourself, and you won’t regret it.

Deep, intimate relationships can feel like a double-edged sword: There’s nothing more rewarding but nothing scarier, either. The closer you get to somebody, the better you learn to care for each other, but the more vulnerable you become, too. Don’t let the fear of being hurt stand in the way of love. Be brave. Listen when the people in your life share their feelings with you, and open up about your own in return. If you hold back now, you’re likely to regret it later on.

It’s easy to get caught up in petty conflicts this week — not just with the people you usually clash with, but also with the ones you love. The closer you are with a person, the more their quirks are likely to get on your nerves. Try to move thoughtfully and defuse needless arguments as they arise. With a little effort, you can turn the week’s charged energy into something useful, maybe even fun. Build on each other’s ideas. Work collaboratively. A little generosity of spirit can work wonders.

It feels like you can hardly step out of your front door this week without being bombarded by other people’s feedback and opinions. They have their own ideas about how things should be done, and they want you to listen. It can be frustrating (your methods are working perfectly well, thank you!), but try to keep an open mind. This isn’t the time to butt heads over the small stuff or dig in your heels over issues that don’t truly matter to you. You don’t have to take anyone’s advice if you don’t like it, but you never know — you might learn something.

Independent as you are, you still find conflict stressful and avoid it as much as you can. When you clash with someone you care about, you start to worry that a permanent rift will open, that your bond will be irreparably damaged. But this week, disagreement will prove to be healthy, even constructive, so don’t suppress your feelings. Your friends may think and feel differently than you, but that doesn’t have to signal the end of the relationship. The connections that really matter are strong enough to withstand a little arguing.

You might be more sensitive than usual right now. Others’ lighthearted banter feels like an attack; their throwaway comments seem barbed, directed at you. But it’s not as personal. The universe doesn’t have it out for you, and neither do the people in your life. Your life is full of people who care about you deeply, but sometimes, the walls you’ve built make you forget it. Try to accept that others genuinely care — though they may not always show it in the way that you’d like — because it’s the truth.
