Your Summer Solstice Horoscope Is Here

Get ready to celebrate because this weekend brings a big event: the summer solstice. It's the longest day of the year, the first day of summer, and the first day of Cancer season. Throughout recorded history, many different cultures have celebrated the solstice as a day connected to magic, luck, and life.

If you'd like to get a little witchy today, try to spend some time out in the sun. This is a time for sun salutations, sunbathing, and long walks outside. When it gets dark, you might light candles or even have a bonfire. If you keep an altar, decorate it with warm colors like red, orange, and yellow, as well as symbols that remind you of the sun or summer—like the Sun tarot card, sunflowers, and anything gold. Of course, if you want to use that extra daylight for a beach day or a picnic, that's a great idea, too.

However you spend the longest day of the year, here's your summer solstice horoscope by zodiac sign to get you through it. Read for your Sun and Rising sign:

ARIES

You're usually adventurous, but today, you might prefer a cozy night in. Nostalgia might feel overwhelming today; go ahead and look at those old family photos or reminisce about your favorite memories with your loved ones.

TAURUS

Feeling chatty? You can thank the solstice, which is lighting up your third house of communication. Schedule a catch-up with a friend or family member—a phone call is fine, but even better if you can do so in person over brunch.

GEMINI

Money is finally working for you today. You might consider asking for that raise, investing in stocks, or even buying a lottery ticket. If you're feeling flush, go ahead and treat yourself to something that makes you feel beautiful, like a piece of jewelry or fancy skincare product.

CANCER

All eyes are on you this summer solstice. This is a great time to throw yourself an early birthday party—or if that sounds stressful, to go out with a few of your close friends. You might be feeling more confident than usual, so if a stranger catches your eye, go ahead and chat them up. Today is all about you.

LEO

Your intuition is extra loud today, so listen closely to what it tells you. Try keeping a dream journal for at least this week and analyze the symbols that appear. If you have a strong gut feeling about someone or something, don't ignore it.

VIRGO

Do a little good today. Whether it's donating to a cause close to your heart, cleaning up trash on your sidewalk, or checking out a local activist group, this solstice energy is asking you to put it to use.

LIBRA

Your career is on your mind today. Are you doing the work you want to be doing? If not, are you on a path to get there? This is a time to ask for a promotion, apply to your dream job, or make a plan to go freelance. Your legacy is waiting for you to build it.

SCORPIO

Get out and explore somewhere new. This could be as simple as taking a new route home from work or as big as scheduling a weeklong vacation — or, of course, anywhere in between. The idea is to introduce a little more variety into your life today, as the seasons are changing.

SAGITTARIUS

You're one of the most curious signs, and today you're curious about life's biggest mysteries. You might even feel inclined to try a little magick. Try making a solstice altar, dabble in candle magick, or read your own (or a friend's) tarot cards.

CAPRICORN

Love is in the air! The solstice lights up your 7th House of relationships. If you're partnered or dating someone, this is an occasion for a romantic date night. If you're single, this can be a time to celebrate platonic, familial, and even self-love, too.

AQUARIUS

While you're feeling the solstice's good vibes, you're channeling in a more productive way than other signs. You might find yourself revamping your schedule, clearing out your inbox, or signing up for a half-marathon. This is the perfect time to start a new habit.

PISCES

You're feeling ready to party, which is unusual for you, Pisces! Lean into this energy and go all-out. You definitely have a mystical streak, so try a summer solstice bonfire with your friends if you can. But a cute date night would fit the bill, too. Whatever you do, make sure you're having fun.
