Love Lanyadoo Astrology 05.12-18.2021
There’s so much that we cannot know, and that’s an inevitable part of life. In many ways, your response to feelings of uncertainty is what defines you. The astrology of this week may inspire you to draw back or push forward; whatever you do, make sure that you're acting in ways that reflect your highest self—not your lowest impulses.

ARIES
March 21-April 19
It’s far better to fail at something you love than to play it safe or to not even try. This is a great week to take risks, but not just any chances will do. Align yourself with what sparks joy in your life, what makes a difference in the world, or what you wish to see grow around or within you. You don’t need to be perfect or to instantly get it right. You only need to try, dear Aries. Prioritize pointing yourself in the right direction over achieving perfection, no matter how uncomfortable that is this week.

TAURUS
April 20-May 20
This is a powerful time for experimentation, Taurus. Trust the fire in your belly to motivate you, but know that it cannot necessarily direct you. There are parts of you that are ready to jump into the unknown, and then there’s your mind, which is much less willing to take risks. Explore the nature and content of your anxieties without attaching to them or investing in their messaging. It’s okay to be scared; just don’t justify poor behavior with your fears, my security oriented friend.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
You have a lot of information, maybe more than you’ve ever had, but it’s unlikely to make you very happy at the moment. Give yourself the space you need to process whatever it is that's happening for you. Ultimately, what you need is to cultivate a big-picture approach that is cushioned with empathy, patience, and healthy boundaries. For today, it’s totally okay to start by checking your defenses and reactiveness at the door. A little bit of care will take you a long way, Twin Star.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
Success, as much as you want it, can feel scary when you get it. As the maxim goes, the more you have, the more you have to lose. Check in with your tendencies to self-sabotage when things get good. The best way to do this is to slow down and sit with your reactions before you act on them. There’s major change happening within you as well as with the people around you. You don’t need to decide whether it’s good or bad; simply stay present and stay true, Moonchild.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
Sometimes you’ve got to fight, but it’s always wise to check in with what you’re actually fighting for. This week may bring about frustrations, and how you respond to them will reflect more on you than on your situation or the other people involved. Don’t allow the lowest common denominator in your circumstances to define you, Leo. Stay true to your principles and to yourself. Be brave enough to take a step away from your situation to align (or realign) with your own self, my fiery friend.

VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Just because you don’t know a thing doesn’t mean that it will become a source of pain or problems for you. This is an important week for you to consider your relationship to the unknown and how you manage the feelings and thoughts that accompany it. As you cultivate greater discernment and self-awareness, pair it with empathy for yourself and patience with your process. In doing so, you can make major upgrades to how you hold what is yet unknown, Virgo.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Consider what seeds you are planting this week. You may find yourself spending a great deal of time fixated on a relationship, a project, or a distraction that you don’t truly care about. Whatever you feed will grow, Libra. Make sure that your precious energy is flowing toward the people and things that deserve it. If you determine that you need to pivot or redirect, don’t overthink what that will look like to others. Just do you, my love.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
It may feel like things are moving very quickly this week, Scorpio. In some ways they are, but in others they aren’t. In spite of your impulse to keep up, it's wise to stay connected to who you are in this moment. Clarify, express, and hold your boundaries, my love. While it might not go over well at first, it's far better to struggle with what's true than to keep a peace based on lies. As you align with what's authentic, embrace the growing pains that are likely inevitable.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You deserve a little break, Sagittarius. Even if things are going your way and progress is being made, you may find yourself feeling mentally exhausted or emotionally burnt out this week. Part of tending to growth is knowing when you need time to rest. It is wise and even productive to touch back in with yourself, and tend to your inner world. Give yourself the gift of tapping into your own inner knowing by slowing down and doing just a little bit less this week.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The period that you’re going through is likely to spark fear or insecurity. Expansion requires that you develop beyond some things, Capricorn. To paraphrase Angela Benton, “The person you’re becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces and material things. Choose yourself over everything.” Give yourself the space you need to tend to any growing pains that you’re currently experiencing, but don’t stop now. You’re on the right track.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
It can be so helpful to understand how you got where you are, to seek symbolism and meaning in your situation, and to generally have an understanding of what’s up in your life. When that isn’t possible (which may be the case this week), it’s important that you use the emotional resources that you have. Sit with the discomfort of things being unclear or upsetting, Aquarius. Change how you hold and respond to your emotions, and you will find that you have more (or at least different) options than you thought you had.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
The ego is not a bad thing. It’s important to be able to assert yourself and to have a healthy measure of entitlement; the ego helps you get those things. This week, you may be feeling anxious about taking up space or determining the right ways of being around others. Part of showing up authentically is taking the risk that others won’t like it or that it won’t be an energetic match for them. Don’t allow their reactions to define you. You define you, Pisces.
