Love Lanyadoo Astrology 06.12-18.2019
This week is a heavy one. It delivers plenty of opportunity for growth — but only if you’re willing to directly confront your own actions, reactions, and motivations. Waiting for someone else to do the right thing is a way of abdicating responsibility, and it won’t get you very far, my loves.
On the 14th ambitious Mars will form an opposition to the zodiac’s own personal speed bump, Saturn. Around this date, you're likely to feel frustrated, agitated, or even depressed. The most common experience with this transit is that you want to get something done, but circumstances or people get in your way, or all of a sudden a huge amount of work or pressure is dropped in your lap. Either way, it’s wise to not push back unless absolutely necessary, because everyone is likely to be feeling bad.
On the 16th Mercury will also oppose Saturn, extending the harsh vibes and negative frame of mind. This is a useful time for editing, clarifying your intentions, and humbly approaching your successes, failures, and everything in between. When Saturn is involved, things feel heavy, so don’t worry if you're not feeling resilient or you're unable to see creative solutions.
On the 17th there will be a Full Moon at 26 Sagittarius 1:31amPDT, and it will in some ways drag the themes you’ve been dealing with all week into the realm of the heart. This means that you won’t be able to pretend that things aren’t happening, to repress your feels, or to expect others to do the same. Here we will experience the tension between motivation and consequence, truth and idealism, now and later. The best that you can do is strive to keep track of your motivations, so you can keep your actions in line with them. This Full Moon is a call to action, but it’s important to start with you: be the change you want to see in your life. In the words of Angela Benton, “the {person} you’re becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces and material things. Choose {yourself} over all of it”.

ARIES
March 21-April 19
Making decisions that will impact your life, or the world around you, in a meaningful way is hard. This week you’re likely to be confronted with your fears and to find yourself responding in an obsessive way. Don’t seek “what’s right” or “the answer” from a place of panic. Prioritize getting grounded before you get going, Aries. You're changing, and inevitably, what you want is going to change with you. Cultivate willingness to sit in the unknown for a minute, my love.

TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Your mind is a powerful tool, but like all tools, it can be used to break things down or to build them up. You may not like where your thoughts are going, but the good news is that you have the potential to develop control over them. Start off by deciding what thoughts are useful to return to, versus what's a waste of your precious energy. By clarifying your boundaries, you can start to properly enforce them. This week, it’s time to let go of what doesn’t serve you, Taurus.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
Be prepared for major upsets this week as the Full Moon in your relationship house on the 17th kicks up a lot of mixed emotions. You don’t need feedback or more data, you need to prioritize making sense of what you already know, Twin Star. You are not the same as you were when you started things, and it’s okay if you’ve changed your mind or changed what you need from a situation. Communicate directly, and allow others to catch up with you in their own time.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
Unless you’re projecting your agenda onto your situation, you can’t know exactly what you want when you don’t have all the information yet. Allow space for the messiness of your feelings to exist without attaching a narrative to it, this week. You’re upset, and you’re more than a little impatient – but that doesn’t mean that you’re in any kind of danger. Tend to your feelings independently of wherever your relationships are at this week.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
It’s time to let go. You’ve been working hard to get to this place, and now that you’re here, it’s not super fun. There is pain in releasing the past – even the messiest and most unpleasant parts of it – and it’s okay if it’s giving you a case of the sads. Not all pain should be avoided, Leo. Don’t confuse the pain of healing with the pain of breaking, my love. The former will move you forward, and the latter will keep you stuck. Be brave as you honor your emotions this week.

VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Allow others to be where they’re at. Don't try to justify yourself by explaining your perspective until everyone else agrees with you. The differences between people are fertile grounds where so much can grow, but you can’t explore that when you’re caught up in trying to prove or defend your right to your experience. Strive to tolerate variations, Virgo. This week, be interested in how several people can see the same pink hat, yet each may describe it a different way.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Uncertainty is uncomfortable, but luckily it’s not evidence that things won’t go well. When you’re unsure of yourself or your situation, it’s easy to make up stories that match your feelings, but it’s not wise. Allow space for the messiness of it all this week. You, and many of the people around you, are going through a time where oversaturated emotions have built up and need to be dealt with. Handle your own self before you go trying to figure anyone else out, Libra.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Anxiety is the worst, and this week you’re likely to have to find ways of coping with it. Here are some pro tips to help you through: Find the best for now, instead of the best. Seek the approach instead of the answer. Be honest instead of conclusive. You can’t change the world in a day, any more than you can change your own nature. Don’t avoid what’s uncomfortable because it will wait for you to tend to it. Find ways of coping that are rooted in acceptance, my love.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
On the 17th the Moon is full in your sign, and this marks a meaningful time of the year for you. Prioritize self-reflection and emotional honesty this week as you get aligned with your heart. This is a time where you can achieve real inner balance, but it’s important that you don’t confuse balance with evidence or proof. Whether you’re high or low on the Wheel of Fortune is just a phase. Be willing to be here for wherever you’re at in your process, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Gratitude is an anxiety buster. When you find yourself obsessing on what you don’t have, comparing yourself to others, or comparing yourself to where you wish you were, you’ve lost the thread. Find simple actions that can give you tangible results this week, Capricorn. You can’t change everything all at once. You can’t always know why things are or aren’t flowing for you or others either – and it’s not your business. This week it’s time to align yourself with the gift that is this present moment.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Before you start to direct it at yourself or others unjustly, it’s time to find a healthy outlet for your anger. You're entitled to your feelings, but if you don’t find ways of experiencing and expressing them, you’re likely to blow a gasket in a moment of frustration. Tend to your insides as much as possible, this week. If you try to process or heal a situation or relationship from a state of upset, you’re not likely to bring your best self to the situation. And you're even more unlikely to get the best possible outcomes.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
Taking responsibility for your life is a powerful thing. This doesn’t mean that you have to be alone or that you need to isolate yourself. It does require that you understand that regardless of the context, you are on the hook for what you do (or don’t do!) and how you do it. This week you are likely to have to show up in a relationship to clarify your needs or position. Don’t confuse being kind with sugarcoating the truth. Be direct, and leave room for other people’s feelings, without diminishing your own, Pisces.
