What To Let Go Of This Summer, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries: Impatience 

Let go of the need for immediate results (whether that’s career, relationship, financial, or success-related). As long as you’re actively working towards your goals each day, you have nothing to feel worried or stressed about. Practice patience to enjoy the journey—otherwise your summer will be filled with dissatisfaction and you’ll always be ‘waiting’ for the next thing.

Taurus: Stubbornness

Release the need to control everything and be open to new ideas, people, and perspectives. Lower your expectations (because that’s when life gets really exciting). Say yes to unique plans, embark on new adventures, and do so with spontaneity. Allow your friends to take charge, release your grip, and simply sit back, relax, and let the upcoming months unfold before you. 

Gemini: Overthinking

Let go of excessive mental chatter and embrace moments of quiet and calmness. When you create space for stillness, you create space for your intuition to guide you on the right path. The more time you spend in your head, the less energy you have to enjoy the moments in front of you. Don’t waste this season by overthinking the past or stressing about the future. 

Cancer: Emotional clinging 

Release attachment to past hurts and learn to forgive and let go. The more you hold onto negative energy, the more closed your heart is, which removes your ability to have new and positive experiences. When you forgive people/yourself and choose to detach from a toxic narrative, you allow space for a new chapter to begin.

Leo: Need for constant validation

Let go of seeking approval from others and focus on self-acceptance and self-love. The more you place your worth on external sources, the more your self-worth fluctuates. But when you place your worth on what exists inside of you, you’ll realize that no external source has power over you. Instead of worrying about what others think, do things that will impress your past self—this will allow you to enjoy the warmer months with excitement, confidence, and passion.

Virgo: Perfectionism

Release the need for everything to be flawless before you allow yourself to enjoy life. When you embrace imperfections as part of life’s beauty, you’ll start to see things for what they really are, and that the combination of ebbs and flows is what makes life interesting. This shift in mindset will allow you to find peace in whatever life throws at you this summer. Instead of spending time waiting for the right moment, you’ll realize that every moment in and of itself is a great one, ultimately allowing you to seize the entire season.

Libra: Indecisiveness

Let go of the fear of making the wrong choices and trust yourself to make decisions confidently. Remember—indecision is also a decision. Rather than staying stagnant, embrace what your heart is whispering and take a leap. Maybe that one choice is what brings you to the path you’re meant to be on. When the season ends, would you rather be proud of moving forward or feel regret for not taking any action? 

Scorpio: Resentment

Release grudges and resentments that hold you back from experiencing deeper connections and happiness. Open your heart a little more so that the right people can enter and stay in your life. The next few months present many opportunities for you to create plans (day trips, vacations, dinners, brunches, walks in the park) with people in your circle, so take advantage of the warmer temperature and allow this season to help you build a foundation for genuine human connection.

Sagittarius: Restlessness

Let go of the constant need for adventure. While the summer is a beautiful opportunity to explore and travel, it’s equally important to embrace the present moment with gratitude. Create space for more stillness (whether that’s meditation, movement, or days in solitude) so that you don’t overwork yourself. It’s critical to find balance so that your energy remains intact and you don’t deplete yourself in a time where you want to be radiating with zest.

Capricorn: Overworking

Release the need to constantly hustle and find a balance between work and personal life. Take a break from time to time. Plug out from work life and create space to enjoy the weather, make time with friends, or explore near and far. If you feel overworked or drained, the summer months will pass by and you’ll regret not seizing the moment. Remember: your mental health is more important than any job.

Aquarius: Detachment

Let go of emotional detachment and allow yourself to connect with others on a deeper level. Putting a wall between you and others is sometimes necessary, but don’t force yourself to detach from people who are actually good for you. You have many opportunities to forge or build relationships, so rather than closing your heart, open it. You never know what conversations or experiences will light you up.

Pisces: Escapism

Release the habit of avoiding reality through excessive daydreaming and instead face challenges directly. Getting lost in your head is sometimes peaceful, but it also is numbing. Instead of basking in fantasies where everything is perfect and pleasant, deal with your challenges head on so that you can set yourself up for happiness sooner rather than later. It’s easy to avoid problems, but it’s worse to wake up months from now regretting not taking action when you could’ve. Set your future self up for success.
