Love Lanyadoo Astrology 04.29-5.5.2020

This week starts off with some heavy energy that may find you looking at the glass as half empty. Don’t assume the worst or cave when upsets arise. Strive to be kind, and remember that having healthy boundaries with yourself and others is an act of kindness. Rise to the occasion! This doesn’t mean that you don’t have insecurities or mixed emotions—only that you're doing your best despite those feelings. 

Episode 102 is especially important to listen to, as it explores the nature of joy, and how to have more of it during the times of COID-19. Also get all the details of this week’s transits. To enjoy with closed captioning, subscribe on YouTube.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

There is so much that you can’t know, and even if you had the answers, you likely wouldn’t be able to control. Life is like that. Instead of fixating on what you can’t do anything about, explore what you value and how your actions (and attitudes and thoughts) reflect that value. What you feed will grow, Aries. Be willing to cut back or beef up your focus to better reflect what you care most about. Honor what you’re grateful for this week.

­TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Tighten your boundaries, open your heart, and trust your gut instincts. As you get clearer about what you want and need, you're more likely to be able to create it. This is a fertile time for cultivating your vision for the not-so-distant future, Taurus. Strive to really listen to your feelings so that you can wisely factor them into your relationships, your projects, or whatever else you’re working on. Dare to infuse joy and love into your life this week.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

Corrie Ten Boom wrote, “Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength—carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” The reality is that worry isn't a sound strategy, and it doesn’t keep you safe. Prioritize making small but meaningful adjustments that support your mental health this week. There is no better moment like this present one, Twin Star.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

You are entitled to any and all of your feelings, but if you don’t find a more sustainable way to process them, you’ll hurt no one more than yourself. Pettiness, negativity, anger—no one wants to experience those feelings, but when they come up, it's important that you strive to understand what’s motivating them before you shut them down or act out. Be willing to slow down and look inside before you rush to create answers this week, Moonchild.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

If you waste time struggling against things as they are, you’ll find that you feel pretty awful, and you're unlikely to get anything achieved. This week it's time to face facts, and chief among them is how you really feel. Stop waiting for others to magically become who you want them to be or to want what you want. Let go of your agenda, and get present with what is. You need balance, and that comes (at least in part) from acknowledging where things are at and where they're not.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

When you’re overwhelmed and haven’t been able to take care of your emotional needs, everything can feel like too much. This week may bring up some confusing relationship issues, but it's not for nothing. Center yourself for a moment, my over-thinking friend. How have you been behaving, and what has your behavior communicated to others? Make sure that your intention and your actions match, and if they don’t, step in and clarify yourself to the people you care about.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

As the most social Sun sign of the zodiac, an ongoing period of isolation and social setbacks is especially hard on you. Treat your sadness with the same kindness that you would offer to any cherished friend. Support yourself with the same patience you grant others, dear Libra, even if you would rather keep things light. Your capacity for tolerating your own more challenging emotions is deepening, but you have to expand to meet it, my love.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

This week, the question to keep returning to is: what kind of fear is it? There's value in fear when it helps you recognize danger and adequately prepare for it. And then there’s the kind of fear that fixates on what you can’t control—obsessive fear. And of course, there's also depressive or hopeless fear. Some feelings tell you they're trying to keep you safe, but they're not. Focus on what's constructive, and seek support or healthy distractions around what isn’t, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Having hope is a beautiful thing, but being realistic is too. Look at your coping tools this week. If you're self-medicating (with drugs, shopping, TV, etc.) in efforts to keep things positive, it's neither worth it nor is it sustainable. Find ways of being present with your difficult emotions. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are deeply important. Support yourself through your inner landscape, even if that means acknowledging where you're scared or hurting, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

It’s wise to be a bit self-protective this week, Capricorn. You can expect that the people around you will be in a stressful state. They may either be (unwittingly) taking it out on you or just acting weird in your presence. In either case, you shouldn’t take things personally, and you don’t need to take them on either. Pay attention to how others are treating you, and take responsibility for how you respond. You don’t need to keep the peace at your own expense.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Its change or be-changed time, Aquarius. As people and situations around you are shifting, you’ve got to adjust yourself, your position, or your attitudes. This is an important time to remember that you need other people, even if they’re annoying or unpredictable in a not-fun way. Show up for the uncomfortable bits of your relationships so that you can help shape the resolutions that they need. Collaborate in efforts to co-create unity this week.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Slow down and get present, Pisces. This week is likely to reveal a truth to you that you deep-down suspected but didn’t have confirmation of. What you do next is on you, so be on the lookout for self-fulfilling prophesies or any narrative you tell yourself that suggests you don’t have any options. You do. Be strong and vulnerable enough to sit with your feels and situation, and investigate where and how you can rise to the occasion, my sweet love.
