How will the 2022 summer solstice affect you, based on your astrological sign?

The summer solstice is a good time to set intentions for the latter half of the year.

It's also an excellent time to reflect on what you've done in the year's first half.

Based on your sign, you may feel more light and airy, or you may feel emotions welling up which need a safe space to escape.

It's important to remember that these horoscopes don't have a necessary endpoint; they can be applicable today, this week, or even through the fall equinox.

We've got the details on every astrological sign and how the summer solstice may affect you.

Aries

While you're typically an overachiever in the workplace, you might find yourself side-tracked by some overwhelming emotions. That's okay; you're only human. Take a breath, find an outlet to release negative emotions, and remember to embrace the good. Now is a great time to find your stride regarding work-life balance, so schedule that vacation you've been meaning to take and enjoy some R&R.

Taurus

Your social skills are shining, and it's time to put them out there. If you're looking for a relationship, now could be the time, as you're bound to adventure and socialite status. Just be careful to heed anyone who betrays you or any relationships that fizzle. Let them. There are plenty of others out there who will see your worth, so don't get trapped.

Gemini

If you've been considering adding a side-hustle or even going full-time with a passion project, now's the time to do it. Don't have a side-hustle or a passion project already? That's okay, too, and it's all about exploring what drives you. You could consider asking those who know you best to give you a rundown of your greatest attributes and then thinking about if any of them could make you some extra money.

Cancer

As you enter your birthday month, it can be a great time to reflect on the past year. Also, your sign is heavy on the networking this solstice season, which means that it can be an excellent time to reach out to others who have helped you along the way to catch up. You're a sign who loves to plan for the future and reflect on your feelings about the past. There's power in balance.

Leo

You may feel burnt out this season, but asking for a break is okay. You might also consider your routine and how you can best optimize it for success. Your performance can benefit from scheduled PTO days, long lunchtime walks, and being around family and friends. You may also feel a little moody and reflective, but if you let the emotions flow through you, they'll pass.

Virgo

You may feel a burst of creative energy during this time. It's the perfect time for you to set goals and intentions. Networking is key to you during this time, but you can think outside of work. Think about your friends and how you can give them a boost or how to fuel passion in a relationship. The spark is inside you; you just need to let it catch fire.

Libra

It's your time to shine in the workplace, which also applies to those who work from home. If you have an idea, now is the time to pitch it. You're bound to gain rewards and respect if you put yourself out there. If you're ready to take the next step towards a leadership role or a long-term business idea, now's the time to set it into motion. Relationship-wise, you're feeling steamy, so show them some love if you have a significant other. If you're single, now is a great time to mingle.

Scorpio

Don't be surprised if you feel like you're suddenly shedding your old skin. You may face some growing pains this season, but with the help of those closest to you, you'll be able to turn them into transformative energy. Don't get stuck in the past. Instead, launch full force into the ideas that give you excitement. You never know where they may lead.

Sagittarius

While your sign will likely feel intense energy during this season, it may be wise to slow down. Your relationships are essential to you, and how you fuel them determines how your future will play out. The planets are aligned so that your daily routine could use an overhaul. Who best to turn to for advice about how to do that than those you love the most?

Capricorn

Your one-on-one relationships are significant this season, including romantic, platonic, and family dynamics. Just don't let these relationships overshadow your relationship with yourself. Now is a great time to consider how you benefit from said bonds (and what you give) and re-evaluate some of them if needed.

Aquarius

This solstice ushers in a productive season for you, especially in self-care and routine. If you feel burnt out or like you're giving away too much of yourself to others, now's the time to slow down and find new ways to recharge. Be selfish with your time because you're no good to anyone else if your batteries are drained.

Pisces

Don't be surprised if you feel giddy over text messages or lovestruck by strangers on the street. Your romantic energy overflows this season, and you're here for it. Remember to keep your feet on the ground when your head is in the clouds. Hanging out with good friends can be the antidote you need for getting too caught up in Cupid's games.
