4 Zodiacs Who Will Take Control Of Their Destiny On July 20

SAGITTARIUS

You have a nuanced relationship to the concept of destiny, Sagittarius. Every atom of your being is opposed to being bound or tied to any one life path, but you also love the feeling of being naturally drawn to something, having an inherent proclivity towards something, and following that feeling toward its natural conclusion. That’s the way you take control of your destiny. You proclaim to the world, “This is the thing I like, this is the thing I want, this is the path I am choosing to follow.” It has to be on your terms, of your own volition. You’ll never find yourself caught in the snare of other’s expectations of you. If anything, you will play the contrarian just to rebel against them. Your moral compass is the only one you will ever follow, and it’s never failed you thus far. Follow that bearing towards your future happiness.

CANCER

Cancer, you take control of your destiny through your relationship with failure. You are the only sign in the zodiac who doesn’t let a negative outcome impact their next steps. Breakups never keep you from a first date. Bad first dates never keep you from second dates or first dates with other people. You fall off the horse and get right back on. You don’t let time increase your anxiety and hesitation. You don’t allow the insecurity to linger. You know that each attempt brings you closer to your goal, closer to your purpose, closer to wherever you are meant to be in this life and in this world. You will find your place by looking in every nook and cranny if you have to until you get there. It’s not a race, it’s a marathon, and you are willing to put in the hours it takes to train. To get your body and your mind in a place of endurance.

VIRGO

Virgo, you don’t take control of your destiny as much as you maintain it. Someone is trying to maneuver their way into the control room of your life, and this is the moment where you have to show them who’s boss. You are literally engaged in a ruthless arm wrestle for control of your life, and your opponent has no idea who they’re dealing with, let alone what a Virgo is capable of. People can see you as too jaded at times, that you’re always a little too ready to fight for what’s yours, but that’s simply because you’ve been here too many times before. This is nothing you don’t know how to handle, and you have no doubt you will succeed. Just take it one day at a time and feel the feelings as they come. If this experience triggers emotions from similar past experiences, it’s okay to just feel it all at once. Own your experience and your history. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

LIBRA

Libra, you take control of your destiny by making a definitive choice. You can no longer straddle both sides of the bench. You have to go one way or the other, and whatever choice you make, there is another choice you are actively deciding not to make. You gain and lose something in the same act, a complicated feeling you’ve been trying to delay for some time now, but the day has come. You cannot get where you’re going until you rip off this bandaid, and once you do, you’ll realize how foolish most of your apprehension has been. It is only because you could not fully comprehend all the good that lies in store for you that you were so reluctant to let go of the things you didn’t really even want or need. It is hard to let go of what we have because it’s what we know. It’s just not always what’s best for us.
