Your Summer Horoscope Is Here & It's Time To Embrace The Good Vibes

Ah, summer. It's the season of dreamy sunsets on the beach, warm nights spent dancing under the stars, spontaneous escapades with your best friends, and falling in love. I don't know about you, but I feel like something life-changing always happens during summer. Through all the amazing memories that are always inevitably made, I discover parts of myself that I never realized were there. I know it's only spring, but is it ever too early to start thinking about the greatest season of all time? Your summer 2018 horoscope is proof that it never is.

This year, it begins on June 21 and ends Sept. 22, so mark your calendars. We'll enter summer through the affectionate and loving waters of Cancer season, leaving it all behind by the time that charming and graceful Libra jumpstarts autumn. Between then, we'll hear our roar through fiery and audacious Leo before collecting our thoughts through intelligent and analytical Virgo.

I think of the astrological roller coaster that is summer like this: We begin by diving deep into our social lives, doting on everyone around us with the purest care. We then start focusing on our own needs, filling up with confidence and crowning ourselves queen. The last few dregs of the season are spent wrapping everything up, making sense of it, and then taking what we learned with us into the next season.

Are you as ready to find out what's in store for us as I am? I bet you are.

By the time summer is fully underway, you'll experience revitalization from deep within. Your motto will be "out with the old, in with the new." It will be difficult, but if it's bringing you closer to your best self, it's worth it.

You may want to plan a big vacation or adventure for the end of summer because by then, you'll be hungry for new experiences. Go out with a bang by doing something wild and far removed from your comfort zone.
