On the 6th, there is a new moon in your sign, making it a particularly fertile time for clarifying intentions and setting yourself up on a new path. Allow your insecurities and fears to guide you to what needs your care and attention this week. I know it’s hard to stay present with those feelings and thoughts, but they are the parts of you that are most in need of a perspective shift and some tender loving care, Twin Star.
Choose your battles wisely, Moonchild. This week you may be feeling restless and determined to shake off dynamics and relationships that you feel stuck in. This is not good or bad, but it is something you should be careful about. Explore your impulses without acting on them. In this way, you can assess which of your reactions require intervention and action versus self-care and introspection. You’ve got this!
If you allow yourself to descend into obsessive thinking, you’ll miss out on some powerful opportunities this week, Leo. This is a valuable time to consider the big picture of what you want, as well as the larger context for what is happening in the here and now. This will help you to make moves that will create meaningful improvements in your life, instead of lateral moves. First, assess the forest, and then take stock of the trees.
If you’ve been pushing yourself too hard lately, you’re likely to need to re-centre your energies this week. There’s no rush to get things done, but this is the time for you to reconnect with your ideas and motivations so that you can make sure that you’re on the right track, in the right way. You don’t need to compare your progress or choices to anyone else’s—this is the time for you to be true to you, Virgo.
This week it’s important that you slow down and focus your attention and energy. If you don’t, you may find yourself in a reactive state that unintentionally stirs the pot. This is an important time for you to be intentional and clear-hearted about what you want and need, as well as what you’re willing and able to do about it. It would be easy, however, to descend into insecurity and react out of fear. Trust yourself, Libra.
This week you are likely to find yourself all over the place—blame it on all the Gemini energy we’re experiencing! The truth of the matter is that your head may be pulled in 1 million directions, but your heart is pretty focused. This is a wise time to trust your instincts, Scorpio. You can’t do everything all at once, but for best results, you can centre your priorities as you feel them here and now.
The saying, “The truth will set you free” is absolutely true, but “free” doesn’t mean free of consequences. Speaking and centring your truth is healthy and wise, but you are likely to run up against consequences and complexity this week when you do so. What you need to determine is, which struggles are in your best interest? What losses are worth going through? And what are the healthiest ways of staying present when you’re feeling challenged and stressed, Sagittarius?
It’s hard to be at the foundational stage of a situation or project as there is so much that is yet to be known. That said, everything has its beginning. This week you are being challenged to stay present no matter how much you are feeling tempted to obsess about the future. This is the time to get grounded and intentional about the phase of development that you’re at, even if it’s uncomfortable. Be the tortoise and not the hare, Capricorn.
You may find yourself really frustrated and unsure of what to do this week, Aquarius. The key is to not to try to find a strategy forward, but instead to connect with your emotions, your needs, your patterns, and your desires. By doing this, you shift the focus inward instead of outward, and, not only will this help you to be right with yourself, but it will also help you to determine the best actions to take and the best ways to take them.
It’s time to let go, Pisces. There is nothing wrong with wanting to know what will happen next to make yourself and the people and situations you care about safe. That said, you are likely to find yourself in a situation where you simply do not have that information and it’s not possible to know how things are going to develop. Take your time and invest in what you do know this week. Tend to your reality as it is now, and have faith in your ability to respond to whatever comes.
On the 6th, there is a new moon in Gemini and it’s a fantastic time for you to take risks and put yourself out there. Just make sure that you are not centring your ego or pride as you do so. Put yourself out there for the things that are truly important to you, especially if it’s challenging, Aries. This is your time to align with the things you value most, instead of the path that looks best on paper or in others’ eyes.
Give yourself the gift of time and space, Taurus. You don’t only need to take time for yourself, you also need to create the space in which you can be present and attentive to whatever comes up for you when you remove the distractions and demands of daily life. You are ready to make some meaningful—even if somewhat subtle—adjustments that will serve to give you greater peace. Invest in your wellness this week.
