ARIES
March 21-April 19
When you hold onto your fears too tightly, you unwittingly bind yourself to them. Instead of attaching yourself to what you don’t want, make some space for what you do want. Find the bright side of what’s aggrieving you, Aries. If you’re scared of loneliness, that’s likely because of how much love you have to give, so practice focusing your energies on that part of your truth. What you feed will grow this week, so strive to be intentional about where your energies go and where they stay.

TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Prioritize soothing your feelings before you get going so that you don’t act from a place of agitation this week. Things are moving fast, but you haven’t calibrated to the most recent round of changes, and it’s unnerving—to say the least. Taking breaks and making time for replenishment are ways to invest in the work before you, Taurus. Pace yourself through the upsets and opportunities so that you not only have resources to tap into, but so that you can also remember to actually tap into them when needed.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
On the 13th Venus goes retrograde in your sign, and it will stay there until June 25th. Love, like, and what you value are going to be top of your mind during this period, so here’s a Pro Tip to help you: go in to get through. Don’t be scared of looking within to determine the kindest and the most authentic way of behaving. Your relationship to security may feel destabilized this week; be curious about it, and lean in, Twin Star.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
This isn’t a good time for trying to predict the actions of others because you can’t easily anticipate what they’re going to do. Your growth at this time is in the not knowing, the unfolding, and your ability to stay present within it all. Don’t rush answers or relationship dynamics that aren’t ready for you yet, Moonchild. Take care of your own side of the street, and accept what you see others offering in the present moment. Just be here for all of it, my love.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
While you may fear change in general, or endings in particular, there’s no stopping the marching of time and whatever consequences it brings. You're ready to confront a relationship fear that’s been dogging you for some time, and while it may not be easy, it’s most certainly the time. Make small, meaningful adjustments in the face of your impulse to bounce or shut down. Your abundance lies in your willingness to not only seek it but also receive it, Leo.

VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You’ll be able to more easily unstick yourself if you can stop resisting your situation, your feelings, or even your nature, Virgo. It doesn’t help to lament what isn’t or what you wish could one day be. Now is the time to get present; hang out there for a while. Between Neptune in your relationship house and Venus retrograding through your house of goals, this is a powerful time for exploring your sense of purpose, dear one.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
From May 13th until June 25th, you can expect your relationships to be a matter of great interest and introspection because your ruling planet, Venus, is retrograde. When Venus goes rogue, any Libra can expect to feel it. When you hit uncertainties, strive to ask yourself, ‘what is authentic for me?’ And not, ‘what should I do?’ Slow down, and check in with your motives this week. Don’t do what’s easiest or most habitual without questioning it, my love.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Boundaries aren’t just for buddies; you’ve also gotta have them with yourself. This week, your anxieties may get the better of you if you don’t take pains to manage your thoughts, attitudes, and expectations. Show all the way up, Scorpio. Stop fixating on other people and what they're doing or not doing. Strive to take responsibility for your participation in things, but also internally. Redirect negative thought loops until you’re able to be constructive.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You don’t have to know the answers, Sagittarius. This week, Venus goes retrograde in your relationship house, and that’s big news for your heart. If you feel disquieted or find yourself dealing with upsets in your connections with others this week, don’t freak out. It’s time to show up and look at the bits of your relationships that aren’t working now (and haven’t been for a while). Be gentle and patient with yourself and others as you investigate the truth.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As you create a solid foundation in your life, you run the risk of forgetting to structure in flexibility. You may have to be willing to pivot this week, and it’s not a bad or a good thing. Your ability to respond to the ever-shifting conditions of your life and the people around you is being put to the test, and you can emerge all the better for it, Capricorn. The key is to be willing to take in data as you are shown it and not let it stop you in your tracks.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Fear can be a liar or a wise teacher, and it takes patience, courage, and good old-fashioned discernment to know the difference. Take your time sorting through your frightened and defensive feelings this week. You can struggle against what scares you, but fighting fear from a place of fear rarely works. Find some calm before you go looking for clarity or answers. Take responsibility for what you can manage in a healthy way, Aquarius.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
If you're willing to learn from your past, the future doesn’t need to be so daunting. While you may be in brand new situations, the underlying patterns at play are unlikely to be totally new. Instead of looking for the “right” ideas or answers, look for the truth. You’re on the precipice of change, and if you play your cards right, that may just look like a massive growth spurt. Don’t worry more about what will happen than you concern yourself with how you want to participate, Pisces.
