TAURUS
April 20-May 20
What exists for you at this time is not necessarily permanent. This week, it’s wise to work on your attachment to things and feelings, Taurus. You may find yourself feeling sad, which isn’t fun, but it also isn’t the worst thing in the world. If you become too attached to your feelings, they will likely balloon into something much bigger than they originally were or than they need to be. Dig deep so you can be present in this moment without cementing it to the future.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
You may want things to move a lot quicker than they currently are, but what you want isn’t always what you need, Twin Star. This week, it’s wise for you to adjust how you engage with your own impulses. Your capacity to stay present when things get uncomfortable or uncertain is being tested, and you can emerge much better for it. The key is to cultivate balance in how you sit with yourself, and allow your perspective to follow suit from there.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, the best you can do for yourself (and those you're closest to) is to take a restorative time out. Invest or reinvest in the self-care practices that you know do you the most good, Moonchild. Integrate the habits into your daily practices that keep you thriving, or at the very least, keep you on steady ground. How you take care of your feelings is foundational to how you manage your life this week, my very emo friend.

Octavia Butler said it best when she wrote, "All that you touch you Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change." This week, you’re on call to withstand the stress that change can bring about, without taking it personally and getting defensive. Your relationship to the unknown is an uncomfortable one, and how you feel now is likely to impact your relationships pretty heavily this week. Strive to have firm and flexible boundaries that protect what you love, Leo.

You have changed, Libra, and it’s on you to decide what that will mean for your life.

If you’re going to compromise, do so in ways that doesn’t compromise who you are and what you believe in. There’s nothing wrong with incremental change. Give yourself latitude in your process.

The energy of this week is likely to get to you, Scorpio. As stressful as things may feel, it's how you choose to respond to your feelings that will ultimately define you. Strive to have compassion, empathy, and patience with yourself and others as you work through the highs and lows of this period.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You don’t need things to be perfect in order to do what’s right. You are likely to be confronted with scenarios that force you to look within and rely upon yourself. The good news of this is that you've worked hard in recent months to cultivate your instincts. This is the time to trust them. If I were in the market of handing out mantras, this week yours would be, "Every light has its shadow." Don’t fear it, my love.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
What other people may think about you doesn't matter as much as how you feel about your own sweet and salty self, Capricorn. This week, it’s time for you to cultivate greater ownership of your own feelings so that you can act with integrity from there. Be brave enough to explore your emotional landscape and to honor whatever you discover. As your relationship with yourself blossoms, so too will your relationships with others and your relationship to your goals.

Jan. 20-Feb. 18
In order to get to the other side of so many of life’s difficulties, you must first go through them, my heady friend. How you cope with delays, frustrations, and disappointments is likely to either make things much easier or much worse for you this week. Don’t lose track of who you are and what you value in the face of upsets, or you’ll create further complications for yourself and your relationships. Honor your truth, whether it’s easy or not, Aquarius.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
Your capacity to feel vulnerability is in many ways your superpower, Pisces. While the other signs of the zodiac may be anxious to figure things out or make them material, you are good at staying with the unknown and exploring possibilities from there. Flow doesn’t take certainty or assurances; it only takes your participation. Lean into your ability to have equilibrium within yourself and your situation, even when things are uncertain.
