ARIES
March 21-April 19
If you put too much emphasis on doing, you're likely to feel all kinds of twisted up, Aries. It’s normal that your first response to confusion or uncertainty would be to look for an answer, but here’s the problem: if you’ve misunderstood the situation, you won’t be able to come to an answer that gives you peace. As unpleasant as it sounds, spend some time with your discomfort before you rush to figure things out this week, my love.

TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Acceptance is not consent; it’s awareness. Can you accept what you don’t like? It’s hard to do, but it’s often a foundational step towards being able to make necessary changes. Be brave enough to look at what isn’t working for you so that you can determine what your next steps should be. You may have to change your actions, your expectations, or your attitudes in order to cope with things as they are, but it’s totally worth it, Taurus.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
Your ruling planet may be retrograde, but this isn’t the week to sit back and let life happen to you, Twin Star. You’ve been working towards something — whether it’s a project, a relationship, or coming to an understanding — and you’re doing great. It’s now time to put into practice some of the ideas you’ve been working with. There’s no rush! It’s okay to take baby steps, but it’s also important that you take some real steps towards putting your ideas into action.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
The problem with patience is that it requires you to tolerate your fears and insecurities without acting on them or beating yourself up. This week may require you to be protective of yourself as matters develop. Don't go rigid or hold your breath as means of coping. Find solid ground in yourself, your relationships, or even on your favorite park bench, and align your energies with who you are. You don’t need to be anywhere but here, anytime but now, Moonchild.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
Yours is a fixed sign, and while that's a source of strength, it can also be a liability for you. This week requires some flexibility, and it may feel like it's a bit at your own expense, Leo. Your job is to look at your reactions and determine whether you’re just fighting for the sake of it, or if there's really something that you need at this time. Don’t confuse what you wish you had with what’s essential. It’s not a great time for forcing things, my love.

VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Here’s an exercise for you this week: when you find yourself worried over how a thing will turn out, give it a number. Consider on a scale of one to ten (with ten being the worst) how worried you are. Once done, take a deep breath and count to thirty, breathing intentionally the whole time, while not focused on your problem. Now return to your problem, and ask yourself again at what number the feeling registers. Prioritize taking your stress down a notch, Virgo.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
There’s a difference between being chill and caving, Libra, and a lot of it has to do with intent. Honor what is true for you — even if it means that you’re less easy going or have to take a risk. This isn’t the time for you to unnecessarily concede or pretend you’re OK with things that in fact upset you. Assert yourself without attachment to what others will do in response, Libra. All you need to do is show up honestly, not control what happens as a result.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
It’s hard to do your best when you’re not present, but it’s hard to be present when you don’t feel your best. You may feel tempted to make assumptions, or worse, compulsively read the horoscopes of others to try and divine their next move this week. Your task, however, is to be present with whatever is. In the words of Eckhart Tolle, “The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You can’t change the past, but you can change your relationship to it if need be, Sagittarius. This week, your fantasies and projections may hit the wall of reality, and it’s not likely to be the most fun thing you’ve ever experienced. Strive to be present for whatever evidence you’re being shown, and whether you like it or not, see if you can accept it, at least for now. You can’t turn back time, but you can be informed and intentional moving forward.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As annoying as it may sound, there really is no replacement for love. Your personal and professional relationships both require you to show up with greater empathy and compassion, essential components of this kind of love, and tenderness and kindness, key components of personal love. Be the change that you wish to see in the world by treating people in ways that highlight their humanity, and in turn, reinforce your own.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
If you take everything that the people in your life do personally, you’ll have no rest. This week is kicking up all kinds of intense emotions in everyone, and how individuals respond to that is, well, individual. Find ways of honoring your needs that don’t demand interrogation. Let people be weird and confusing, and in the process, let them reveal themselves to you. Find your place in your own self and not in the unpredictability of others, Aquarius.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
Success can be as scary as failure. The more you have, the more you have to lose. This week, you’re likely to get the most traction out of treating your anxieties as emotions to support instead of stories to follow. Beware of overthinking, stress-fueled obsessions, and seeking evidence of the outcome while you’re still midstream with the process. Tolerate your feelings without compulsively converting them into thoughts, Pisces.
