Summer horoscope week July 28 to August 4

There are weeks when you feel nothing, except the sweat on your upper lip and the urgent need for a fan on ‘Arctic hurricane’ mode. And then there are weeks when you feel: this is going to be a summer to remember. The universe puts on sunglasses this week, opens a rosé, and shines just a little brighter on friendships, work (yes, even now), love, and your ultimate balance between lounge bed and laptop.

Whether you’re on vacation, just back, or secretly counting down to those few days in the sun: your zodiac sign has its own story this week. With a matching summer drink and moon affirmation, so you feel mentally in Sorrento, even if you’re physically just in Zandvoort.

Aries

(March 21 - April 19)
Summer drink: Aperol Spritz – sparkling, present, and always up for a party
Work-life: You’re on ‘go’ while everyone else is on ‘siesta’. Fine, but don’t forget that your work drive deserves a vacation too. Leave that inbox as it is.
Friends & parties: Oops, on vacation a friend makes a comment that hits you just the wrong way. You can breathe fire like a dragon in heels, but this time just try: count to ten.
Love: Flirt alert! One glance in the lobby and you’re sold. But be realistic, Aries. Not every Adonis is boyfriend material.
Lunar affirmation: “I let go of what burns me out, and breathe in freedom.”

Taurus

(20 April - 20 May)
Summer drink: Ice-cold mojito – sensual, slow, and oh so tempting
Work-life: You understand better than anyone that a work email in August can simply wait until September. Put that laptop away.
Friends & parties: That one friend who always brings 10 outfits for a weekend away? She might become a bit much this week. Breathe in, give space, let her take selfies, and go read a book yourself.
Love: Stable with a touch of sultry. You don’t need to make it exciting this week; just being comfortably familiar can be delightful too.
Lunar affirmation: “I don’t need to run; everything comes at the right moment.”

Gemini

(21 May - 20 June)
Summer drink: Gin and tonic with cucumber – fresh, sharp, and always a bit rebellious
Work-life: Multitasking on the beach? Don’t do it. Your phone wants a vacation, just like you. Write your ideas in a notebook.
Friends & parties: This is your week to shine at every party. But be careful: you have a tendency to trust too many people. Keep some things to yourself.
Love: In love with someone with a foreign accent? Not weird. The spark is there, but first try to find out if he’s really Italian or just from Enschede.
Lunar affirmation: “My words create my world, so I choose them with love.”

Lobster

(June 21 - July 22)
Summer drink: Rosé with ice cubes – soft, classic, and always cozy
Work-life: You’re still dreaming about that one work meeting while floating on an inflatable flamingo. Stop that. That PowerPoint will sort itself out.
Friends & parties: Something from the past is surfacing. A friend you haven’t spoken to in a while suddenly comes with a story. Listen, but don’t feel obligated to solve it.
Love: Your heart is open, but your doubts are still in the way. That’s okay. Trust your feelings – not his sunbed-tanned six-pack.
Lunar affirmation: “I protect my energy and only give what I have left.”

Leo

(July 23 - August 22)
Summer drink: Champagne – stylish, present, and always in the spotlight
Work-life: Even on vacation, you check the likes on your LinkedIn post. Try to really go offline this week. You are not your performance.
Girlfriends & parties: There’s a little drama in the friend group. You want to fix it, but sometimes distance is the only way. Let it burn a little.
Love: The universe says: dare to show your heart. Because behind your sunglasses and strong gaze is someone who just wants to cuddle.
Lunar affirmation: “I don’t need to prove anything to be loved.”

Virgo

(August 23 - September 22)
Summer drink: Cider with mint – light, refreshing, and a bit different than usual
Work-life: You want to make an Excel sheet of your vacation days. Sweet child, that’s not necessary. Lean back and just enjoy the fact that it’s Monday and you’re in a bikini.
Girlfriends & parties: You always arrange everything: the Airbnb, the restaurant, the taxi. This week: let someone else take the reins.
Love: There’s something on your heart that you’re not saying. Tip: write it off. Or better yet: say it. Because maybe the other person feels exactly the same way.
Lunar affirmation: “I can let go of what I cannot control.”

Libra

(September 23 - October 22)
Summer drink: Frosé – classy with a touch of drama
Work-life: The balance is lost. You want to work and relax, and as a result, neither is happening. Schedule fixed working hours, even if you’re on vacation. After that: laptop closed.
Friends & parties: The deepest conversations happen on the terrace. You are the confidant this week. Just don’t forget yourself in the story.
Love: You will be seduced this week. On the beach. In a bar. In the parking lot of a beach tent. Go for it. But only if it feels like summer, not like a storm.
Lunar affirmation: “I choose what brings me into balance.”

Scorpio

(October 23 - November 21)
Summer drink: Bloody Mary – spicy, deep, and surprising
Work-life: You’re on edge, even though your feet are in the sand. Try not to analyze every comment at work. That automatic out-of-office is there for a reason.
Friends & parties: You smell unrest. There’s a secret going on in the group, and you know there’s more at play. Let it simmer; the truth will come out on its own.
Love: Intense vibes with a summer crush. But dare to let go if it’s not mutual. Not everything needs to become a story.
Lunar affirmation: “I trust what comes and what stays.”

Sagittarius

(November 22 - December 21)
Summer drink: Piña colada – adventurous, sweet, and always traveling
Work-life: You have zero desire for structure this week. Do try to make a list of what needs to be done. Otherwise, you’ll wake up next week in a to-do nightmare.
Friends & parties: You want to go from party to party, but someone in the group can’t keep up with that pace. Be the cheerful motivator, not the over-asker.
Love: You feel: it's now or never. And that's true. Say it. Send that message. Or that DM. Love is your biggest adventure this week.
Lunar affirmation: “I embrace the unknown, and trust the outcome.”

Capricorn

(December 22 - January 19)
Summer drink: Espresso martini – classy and secretly the control freak of the menu
Work-life: You can't half relax. Either you're on vacation, or you're working. Choose to really go for vacation this week.
Friends & parties: You suddenly find a friend... exhausting. That's okay. Taking distance is not mean, it's self-care.
Love: You are open to love, but your walls are just a bit higher than the hotel balcony. Let someone in a little bit. That can be enough.
Lunar affirmation: “I can take it easy, without feeling guilty.”

Aquarius

(20 January - 18 February)
Summer drink: Kombucha cocktail – unique, stimulating and just a little different
Work-life: You have a good idea, but you're too busy chilling. Write it down, let it simmer for a while. The rest will come later.
Friends & parties: An unexpected click with someone outside your usual group makes your week. Note: this person might just be a keeper.
Love: Romance in the air? Yes. But you'd rather look at the stars first than at his Tinder profile. Give it a chance.
Lunar affirmation: “I am just right, even if I don't exactly know what I want.”

Fish

(February 19 - March 20)
Summer drink: Sangria – dreamy, colorful and full of feeling
Work-life: Everything feels a bit ‘meh’. Maybe because your heart is on vacation, but your head is still at home. Visualize what you really want.
Friends & parties: Someone tells you something personal. You don't have to solve it, just listening is enough.
Love: You long for deep connection. It's closer than you think. Maybe in your DMs. Maybe in your own garden.
Lunar affirmation: “I trust the flow of life.”
