Not every friendship that becomes less central requires a formal ending.

Sometimes people simply occupy different distances in our lives at different times, and trying to preserve every relationship at the same intensity can become exhausting.

You are allowed to have history with someone without forcing them into your future.

The approaching August 12 total solar eclipse and New Moon in Leo also activates this same social and future-oriented part of your chart, so a friendship, collaboration, group, audience or long-term goal could shift significantly over the coming weeks. A new community may appear, an existing group may change direction or somebody you meet now could eventually connect you with an opportunity that would have been impossible to predict in advance.

Pay attention to who enters your orbit.

The Moon Phases section will be especially useful through August because the Leo eclipse activates your future-goals house while the later Pisces lunar eclipse affects work, health and daily routines, creating a larger story about where you are going and what kind of everyday structure is required to get you there.

Mars remains in Gemini throughout the week, moving through your ninth house of travel, education, publishing, law, philosophy, belief systems and larger life direction, while Uranus is also travelling through Gemini and beginning a much longer revolution in this same part of your chart. Together, these planets can make you restless for movement, learning and expansion, and you may suddenly become much less willing to accept an old worldview simply because it once made sense.

This is excellent energy for travel, study, teaching, writing, publishing, media, international business or anything that introduces you to ideas and people beyond your usual environment, although Mars can also make you impatient with bureaucracy, delays or people who insist there is only one correct way to think.

Uranus adds unpredictability and can produce sudden travel plans, changes in education or major shifts in belief, and for some Libra readers this may become the beginning of a completely new direction involving another country, a new field of study or a radical change in how you understand your own purpose.

If you have been thinking about studying something new, changing professional qualifications, publishing, teaching or relocating abroad, do not dismiss the idea simply because it feels less conventional than your original plan.

The future is under revision.

That is the point.
