Love Lanyadoo Astrology 03.25-31.2020
☁︎ ☂
We are living in exceptional times. The future of so many things is uncertain, stresses are high, and the reality of our collective grief, fear, and restlessness is palatable.
There is no right way to feel at this time, but we don't need to default to despair. There is so much hope to be found in the kindness of so many people around the world. In the words of Mr. Rogers, "seek the helpers." If you can, be a helper. Find ways, big and small, to ease the suffering of others and to allow the love and generosity of others to touch you.
Hope in times of darkness is an act of will that is motivated by love. The astrology of this period requires that we all come together to protect the most vulnerable amongst us and to reshape the very foundations of how our society functions.

ARIES
March 21-April 19
Your ability to perceive the situation clearly isn’t shared by everyone, as annoying as that may be. No matter what you do, this week you’re likely to have to compromise, though it may pain you to do so. It’s important that you don’t settle for less than what you think is right or do things that you know you’ll resent. In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, “To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.”

TAURUS
April 20-May 20
This is one of those times in life when there are no real answers. Seek the truth, prioritize kindness, and be patient. You need to leave room to feel whatever you’re feeling, even if that means you’re a bit hot and cold this week. You'll have a much easier time of it if you can remember how much is out of your control; then choose to focus on what you can influence. Do what you can to manage your inner world so that you better cope with your external circumstances, my love.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
You have to make some decisions, Twin Star, but this is not the time to be distracted by the details. Look at the big picture of what you can and can’t do in a sustainable way, and let that inform your actions. It’s important that you maintain your energy, and that requires that you are honestly and even tenderly maintaining your emotional wellness. This week, invest in pathways that support you in the long term, even if it makes things a bit uncomfortable in the short term.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
Pace yourself, Moonchild. If you run yourself ragged, you’ll find that it’s extra hard to pick yourself back up. This week, you will be confronted by some of your inner stumbling blocks. Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” Just make sure that you only give what you can so that you're able to sustain your efforts. To cultivate your own perspective, get grounded before you get going; then act from that place.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
How do you find balance when you’re caught up in a storm? It’s time to seek shelter and recalibrate from there. This week will be much easier to bear if you give yourself permission to slow down and receive the help that is available to you, Leo. Even in these days of social distancing, you don’t have to go it all alone. Nourish yourself and others through the simple act of connecting, heart-to-heart.

VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Don’t let your fears run you ragged. You have a great deal to do, but it’s also important that you take lots of breaks this week. You won’t be of much help to anyone if you burn yourself out. You may feel stuck or like you can’t slow down or let go for even a moment, but that isn’t true. Carve out as much time as possible to just unplug, Virgo. All you have to get through is this moment, and you can absolutely do that, one step at a time.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Abandoning yourself when you're scared is a betrayal, Libra. It’s unrealistic to function at your regular pace when there’s this much turmoil in the world. Your energy is likely to come in fits and spurts this week, and the best thing that you can do for yourself is to slow down and get present— even if that means feeling some unpleasant feelings. Granting yourself permission to be off is a reasonable step towards getting back on, my social friend.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Letting go is not the same as not caring. Moving on doesn’t necessitate disregard. Find the forward momentum in even the most frightening or stuck parts of your life this week, Scorpio. Make room for the inevitability of the mixed (and often wild) emotions you’re feeling; it’s okay to be all over the place. Just don’t take your overwhelm and project it onto your relationships, your worldview, or your work. Stay in the present, and do your best right here, right now.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The word that kept bubbling up in the creation of this week’s horoscope for you was pivot. Things are changing quickly and in ways you couldn’t have predicted. In the words of Jay Samit, “Pivoting is not the end of the disruption process, but the beginning of the next leg of your journey.” So much of what comes next is out of your control, but your attitude, your energy, your vision, and your willingness to be a part of the solution are all you, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You need a project, Capricorn. Your nature is to cope with upsets by doing something, and if you feel too out of control or helpless, you’re bound for Trouble Town. Create finite, achievable tasks for yourself that reinforce your sense of agency. Running ideas on a loop or trying to figure things out in a frenzied way will neither empower you with solutions nor promote peace of mind. Calm your heart by busying your hands this week.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Responsibility is just seizing your ability to respond, Aquarius. Choose to center your responses around what you believe in—and not only around what you fear. Approach your goal in three stages. The first is acceptance of wherever you are and what resources are available to you in the here and now. Next, get in alignment with your integrity and values. The third step is to identify your next possible steps. Keep it simple and leave room for the ebb and flow of your emotions, this week.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
Shunryu Suzuki wrote “Each existence depends on something else... there are no separate individual existences. There are just many names for one existence.” We’re interconnected—in our joy, our excellence, our pain, and our failures. The feelings that you’re feeling now are not just yours; they’re all of ours. You don’t need to hold it all, Pisces. Activate from your spiritual center. You are not alone; you are made of light. Don’t forget it in your darkest hours.
