While it’s natural to want to keep the party going as the summer heats up, but your horoscope for the week of July 11 to July 17 may have other plans! As this week begins, the moon—ruler of your subconscious—will call on you to use some emotional maturity, especially when balancing work and play. And according to gravity, what goes up must come down! You’re experiencing this pressure on a cosmic level, starting on Monday as the moon forms a sextile with responsible and time-managing Saturn. Luckily, you have time for both business and pleasure, as long as you prioritize correctly.

On Tuesday, the moon will start moving through serious and driven Capricorn, forming a trine with action-packed Mars, a planet that will always tell you to just do it! This lunar energy won’t let you relax before you’ve crossed everything off your extensive to-do list. Luckily, Wednesday’s tactful trine between love goddess Venus and introspective Saturn retrograde will even you out emotionally and encourage you to ask for assistance with your most tedious tasks. Teamwork makes the dream work—or at least it saves you all the time and energy of having to do it all yourself!

As the energy gets more intense, you can blame it all on the full moon in Capricorn, which takes place on Wednesday (at 2:37 p.m. ET, to be exact). Urging you to let go of outdated, useless ways of doing things, this full moon is motivating you toward a metamorphosis as it forms a trine with transformative Pluto. Letting go of ideas and forming new plans will help you end the week with an optimistic, yet serious and future-focused vibe. As the sun in homebody Cancer joins forces with intellectual Mercury on Saturday, it will help you wind down and relax with loved ones in your sacred space. This weekend, dedicate time to recharging and getting ready for another busy week ahead!

Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming week, according to your sun and/or rising sign:
