ARIES
March 21-April 19
Be willing to receive inspiration from others and to collaborate with them too. If you push people away by trying boss them or control how they express their emotions, you’ll end up feeling isolated and crappy. Consider the very real differences between yourself and others, and instead of seeing it as threatening, be motivated by it. How we see the world and engage with it is personal; be open to having your world-view transformed and expanded this week.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
What you want is nice, but it’s not necessarily what you need. Prioritize understanding the difference, even if that brings you to some uncomfortable truths. Sit with your feelings, talk to trusted loved ones, and take an honest look at your situation this week. It’s hard to have healthy boundaries when you don’t know where you stand or what’s essential for you. Do the work and keep on showing up, Taurus.
GEMINI
May 21-June 21
You're changing, and it’s a beautiful thing. The problem is that you may not be getting a lot of external validation at this stage of the game, which may inspire you to impulsively change course when you’re already pointed in the right direction. Take time to be reflective before you make any meaningful changes, Twin Star. This week, look to subtly refine things rather than slash and burn them. Be patient and do the work, my love.
CANCER
June 22-July 22
Patience is hard. This week, you are likely to have to sit with some feelings that activate you in an uncomfortable way. The key is to remember your own agency, Moonchild. You have options — maybe not good ones, but you have them nonetheless. Find ways of aligning yourself with your choices so that you don’t feel trapped or resentful. Be willing to learn from whatever situations you find yourself in, and have patience with yourself when you just don’t want to.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
Beware of unintentional bullies as well as your vulnerability to them, Leo. This week is likely to find you coping with some anxiety, which is not the worst but also not the best. It’s okay to feel off or to not know the answers, and it’s totally okay to let others know that. If you try to power through your ambiguities, you're likely to let the loudest or strongest-willed person push you around. Hold your ground, no matter how shaky it is.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
How do you betray yourself in the presence of others? Sit with that reality, and you'll be empowered to change it. This week, you’re on call to prioritize self-care outside of a vacuum. Grant yourself permission to rely on others and to let them lean on you. Share your thoughts and feelings. Self-protection doesn’t require isolation or alienating other people. This week you’re on call to explore the ways your wellness is interconnected with those around you. It’s time to open up, Virgo.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Everything has its layers. You're likely to be confronted with nuance in a way that’s uncomfortable or challenging (but not necessarily bad), Libra. Slow down and check in with your connection to your body. How does it feel, and what's it trying to tell you? It’s your job to listen. You're itching for progress, and that’s good, but everything happens in its own time. Be intentional with what you take on and the pace you adopt. In doing so, you'll get where you want to go, but not at the expense of your well-being.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
This week, consider negotiating some room for silence, or let others know that you’re working through something. Things are developing too quickly to know what to make of them quite yet. Strive to find ways of slowing down and listening to what your gut is trying to tell you, especially when you see people around you jumping to conclusions or rushing matters. Prioritize checking in and honoring your intuition, Scorpio.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This week is likely to confront you with dueling impulses. On the one hand, you’re ready for expansion and excitement, and on the other, you’re scared. Don’t allow common sense to degenerate into paranoid thinking, responsibility into obligation, or humility into guilt. Pace your process with consideration for your own heart. Emotional development is slower than cognition. Keep up the pace without abandoning yourself or succumbing to fear.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As the saying goes, action is the antidote to anxiety. Do what you can, and do it thoroughly, but then you’ve got to let go, Cappy. You are excellent at responding with intention, but it takes decisiveness, willpower, and strength. This is just one of those times when you need to step up. You don’t need to be perfect or even fearless. Just do the best you can with the resources you have. Even small steps and incremental change will have you moving in the right direction.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
What is motivating your need to be right or to know the answers? Is it truly driven by authentic curiosity? Make sure your ego doesn’t infiltrate your investigations this week. Let go of your drive to reach a destination, and invest in finding a way to be stimulated by the journey. This may be the best time or it may be a difficult time. Either way, your restlessness won’t help you in the present. Find ways of choosing this moment again and again. It’s all you have, really.
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
You may need to take a break this week, Pisces. This isn’t a big deal, but you'll probably need to negotiate your boundaries with others before you can do it, which is intimidating. Use your ego energy to propel you forward—not to get sullen and defensive. Prioritize not just doing what you want but doing it in ways that reflect who you are. Confront your subtle but driving fears around conflict so that you can say what needs to be said with the diplomacy the occasion calls for.
