ARIES
March 21-April 19
Center self-care this week, Aries. You’ve taken on too much or moved too fast, and now you’re in a state of overwhelm that threatens to rob you of perspective. How you engage with your inner world, your self-esteem, and your emotions lays the foundations for the personal resources you have to call upon to meet your goals. Let go of what doesn’t serve you. Let go of what you can’t control. Don’t do it all in a rush—just do what you can in this moment.

TAURUS
April 20-May 20
When your fear of failing or experiencing pain is what drives you, you end up acting out of those feelings instead of the clarity of your truth or vision. This week, you’re likely to find yourself wrestling with complicated feelings that make you feel demoralized before you begin. Strive to align yourself with the big picture, Taurus. In the short term, you may be tired or you may have to make compromises that bum you out, but if it elevates you and your growth in the long run, it may be worth it. Evaluate before you react.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
As you learn how to take responsibility, you’re likely to find that you need to assert yourself differently. This week is likely to bring up some uncomfortable dynamics as you show up in new ways with others, forcing them to shift and change too. Watch your assumptions; you may not have explained to others your new perspective and why you’re acting differently. Be as patient with other peoples’ development as you want them to be with yours, Twin Star.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
As you grow, you’re inevitably going to be confronted by past mistakes and things that you must currently let go of. If you meet this data with fear or defensiveness, you will find that you’re always on the lookout, scanning for problems. If you’re more willing to be humble and take things (even hard ones!) in stride, it’s easier to evolve. Seek the truth, wherever it takes you. You are very much deciding who to be at this time; choose wisely, Moonchild.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
As you grow, it’s inevitable that you outgrow things, people, and situations that you’re identified with—but that shouldn’t stop you, Leo. Sometimes the pain of healing is harder to bear than the pain of breaking, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t embrace it. Align your actions with your values this week, even if that slows you down or creates a cascade of consequences that you’d rather not deal with. Centering your truth is never a mistake.

VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
When you’re sad—even when you know why you’re sad—it can be pretty exhausting. This week may find you coping with a situation that you’ve already accepted and come to some resolve about—but is still upsetting. Prioritize caring for your feelings in kind and patient ways, even if you ”know better”. Be weary of either/or, and all or nothing thinking that robs you of your right to be in the complexity of your own experience.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Things are not meant to move quickly this week, but they are meant to shift in meaningful ways as big emotions come up in the face of uncertain situations. When you feel emotionally or psychically overwhelmed, that's when you’re most likely to backslide into old habits and to act out against yourself and others. You’ve worked hard to cultivate new tools, to develop new perspectives, and to hone new skills; now’s the time to remember to use them.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
People are annoying, and there’s no way around it. The challenge for you is to not also be annoying. Otherwise, your whole situation could devolve into a worse set of troubles. This week fear will beget fear, lies will beget lies, and evasion will create a deeper pit of problems. How you participate is the only thing that you can control; don’t allow the worst person in your life to define the terms of engagement. If you don’t like the game, you don’t have to play, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You’re known for a lot of things, but patience is not on the list. This week may confront you with the vulnerability of needing to move slowly through developing dynamics and the unknown. It would be easy to go full Pollyanna or to assume the worst, but both are wrong. Life is complicated, and if your process is as much of a mixed bag as your situation is, that’s ok, Sagittarius. Commit to sitting in your discomfort so that you can better understand it, and therefore yourself, my love.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Your ego is a tool that can also be used as a weapon—against yourself or others. You can prioritize proving yourself or center external markers of success, but if you do, you’re in no way guaranteed happiness or a feeling of success. Those things don’t come from accomplishments, unless what you’ve done is a reflection of your true values. You’re changing, Capricorn, and you’re meant to be changed as you learn and grow. Don’t be so fixated on the outcome that you miss out on the process.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
This week, doing something is better than sitting around doing nothing while worrying about what may be. It’s healthy to acknowledge your fears, but when you allow them to rule over you, you get into trouble. Find baby steps that can take you forward because even if it’s the smallest movement, all motion creates momentum. Let go of your attachment to how things should look or even how you expected them to be, Aquarius.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
Humans are remarkable: you can get everything on your dream board and still be plagued with self-doubt and feel like you're messing up. This week your relationship to fear of failure is all the way up, and it’s really destabilizing. Instead of treating those feelings like facts, engage with them based on what they actually are—a deeply ingrained bad habit. Center gratitude in your thinking so you can appreciate what you’ve got in this moment, Pisces.
