How your star sign is going to affect you this summer solstice
Tomorrow (Saturday 21 June) marks the 2025 Summer Solstice.
As well as marking the longest day of the year - being that it occurs each June when the sun is at it's highest point - the day is also considered by many astrological believers to be a source of transformation.
More generally, the event can serve as a time for reflection, with astrologers advised to make their intentions for the next six months absolutely clear ahead of the longest day.
Depending on your horoscope, however, the Summer Solstice can either bring new opportunities, or serve as something or a warning.

That's because it occurs as the Sun slides into Cancer, which is a water sign controlled by the moon.
And as any mystic believer knows, a change being made to a water sign has been known to trigger quite the drama for several stars signs.
As such, astrologer Tetiana Tsvil has issued each horoscope with a warning on what best to avoid going forward, to ensure the end of 2025 is your year.
Aries
Tsvil believes it's vital for folks born between March 21 to April 19 to 'cool their fires' when Saturday rolls around.
"Don't pick fights at home," she advised Birmingham Live readers. "And avoid imposing your will or controlling family members."
The mystic added that acting as if 'everyone else is in your way' is a no-go, with the Solstice serving as a time to 'soften, not steamroll'.
Taurus
For babies born April 20 and May 20, Tsvil believes Saturday is prime time to work on their communication - specifically when it comes to friends, neighbours and colleagues.
"Try not to dig your heels in when conversations get a little emotional," she advises. "This is not the time to win debates.
"Avoid gossip, avoid grumbling, and avoid telling people they're 'being too sensitive.'"
After all, the Solstice can prove an extremely sentimental time for many.
Gemini
Tsvil advises against starting a new project or purchasing anything extravagant on Saturday, specifically individuals born between May 21 and June 20. In fact, she says any 'financial risk' is a danger.
"Do not take on extra obligations or rely on random advice," she advises Geminis. "Be generous but prudent, do not get stuck on material things to the point of losing life's joy. Generosity is charming; debt is not."
Cancer
As we've already mentioned, the Summer Solstice is a particularly prevalent time for Cancer babies - people born between 22 June and 22 July.
According to Tsvil, it's a time for these individuals to lean into their strengths, and not to shy away from then.
"Try not to pull into your shell when the emotions get big (and they will)," she explains.
"Also, avoid deciding that everyone has to feel what you're feeling."
She also believes it vital not to 'wait for change to happen', advising: "Take responsibility into your own hands."
Leo
For those born July 23 and August 22, Tsvil says rest and relaxation are essential this weekend, and definitely not to chase the approval of others.
"Avoid escapism. Avoid spiritual bypassing," she says. "Avoid pretending you’re fine if you’re not.
"Be very careful with anything that might completely captivate you and keep you from the real world."
If they can, she adds, Leos should prioritise both meditation and self-reflection, especially on Saturday.
Virgo
Like Leos, Tvsil says babies born between August 23 and September 22 should give them selves a mental and physical break this Solstice, and not to be duped into chasing the idealised.
"Toss your perfectionism and put down your judgment," she says.
"You're navigating social dynamics now, and the trap is thinking you have to fix everyone."
So, stop criticising yourself - you're spreading yourself too thin as it is.
Libra
Unlike the majority of star signs we've discussed so far, Tsvil says the Summer Solstice marks Libras' time to start focussing on themselves.
"This Solstice, avoid making career moves just to please someone else," she advises. "Self-restraint can be useful, but only when it doesn't come from compulsion or obligation."
The astrologer adds that saying 'yes' when you don't mean it could prove to be your downfall this weekend, particularly in the cases of people born between September 23 and October 22.
Scorpio
For babies born between October 23 and November 21, Tsvil says the Summer Solstice should serve as a time to gain some perspective.
"You are not responsible for the enlightenment of all mankind," she explains. "On June 21, your inner philosopher gets louder, but so does your inner control freak."
As such, she advises Scorpios not to think about life as something to strategise, but an opportunity - not one to lecture others on, however.
"Avoid pushing your version of the truth on others," she continued. "Avoid thinking you have to have all the answers. You don't. And that's okay."
Sagittarius
Tvsil says November 22 and December 21 birthday celebrators better strap themselves in this weekend, as they're supposed set for the biggest life transformation of all.
She adds, however, that this won't apply to anyone obsessed with money, power or grudges.
"Control is not the answer," the astrologer explains. "Don't fixate on problems or turn them into constant sources of stress.
"Trust life, let go of what holds you back, and don't be afraid to move forward."
Capricorn
According to Tvsil, Capricorns are going to want to give their relationships some thought this weekend.
The astrologer believes it's time for babies born between December 22 and January 19 to start letting loose when it comes to love, and to stop holding themselves back in fear of having their hearts broken.
"Avoid being cold, overly strategic, or stingy with affection," she suggests. "Try being a little messy.
"Also, don't exaggerate or underestimate the influence of your social circle on your life. Try asking someone how they feel and listening."
Aquarius
In contrast to Capricorns, individuals born between January 20 and February 18 are supposedly famously loved up - so much so, that the astrologer believes they neglect their general wellbeing.
'This Solstice reminds you that even visionaries need breakfast," Tsvil advises. "Avoid ignoring your health and skipping rest. Dedicate time to responsibilities and daily tasks, but don't get stuck in routine."
Pisces
Taking yet another different direction entirely, Tvsil believes it's vital for babies born between February 19 and March 20 to reign in their often-overpowering emotions this weekend.
"On Saturday, avoid losing yourself in other people's emotions," she says. "Avoid fear of being yourself due to possible criticism or rejection.
"If you're afraid to show yourself because of criticism, this is a good time to work on it.
"Don't over-romanticise, over-extend, or over-give. Your joy is sacred. Protect it."
