Aries
March 21-April 19
The new moon in your sign on April 11th is an opportunity for you to get right with yourself, Aries. Prioritize reflection and introspection this week, even if it’s uncomfortable (especially if it’s uncomfortable). You’ll find a greater kind of clarity than you had a few days ago. You’re on the precipice of meaningful change, even if it’s subtle. Strive to make sure that you are honouring what’s important to you and striving to become a person you really love.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
While you can be stubborn, you’re also a bit of a people pleaser Taurus. When you have to disappoint others, you can have a tendency to try to soften the edges of your boundaries or, conversely, drop your needs like an anvil. Either way, it reveals a discomfort that you have with possibly upsetting people you care about. Practice expressing yourself in ways that are both honest and kind this week. You can’t control how others feel about you, but you can give them a chance by letting them know the real you.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
You have worked hard to get to a place where you see things clearly, and maybe more importantly, understand your role in them. The trouble is that your clarity does not equal other people agreeing with you or saying things the same way. This week, you’re likely to need to deal with your relationships as they are now that you’ve changed. While this may present you with some difficult dynamics, this is actually a really good thing. You can’t grow without outgrowing at least some things, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
As you struggle to find your way forward within your relationships, you’re likely to bump up against a lot of difficult stuff. Some of it is internal—your fears and past experiences may tell you that being forthcoming will cost you more than it offers. It may also be that your boundaries or needs are not well received. Either way, it’s up to you to bring the truth so that there’s a chance for real compatibility to be fostered. All you can do is show up, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
There are some disagreements that are based on superficial things. They’re difficult and upsetting, but they can be easily resolved. Then there are the other kinds, those based on very real differences between you and others. These require honesty and vulnerability to identify and overcome. If you’re brave, you can make meaningful progress in your relationships this week. If you hide from the truth, you’ll find yourself acting defensively in trying to keep your story straight. Choose wisely, Leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You have choices to make but you don’t need to make them quickly, Virgo. You’re in a state of change, but it’s an odd one. You’ve been growing and stalling and working hard to figure things out, and it’s brought you to this point. If you can continue to honour what you know, your relationships will be forced to bend or break. While this may be intimidating or scary, it’s not actually a bad thing. You still have free will. You are always making choices about how to show up and for whom. Continue to choose carefully this week.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
On April 11th, the new moon in your relationship house is likely to kick up some interpersonal developments. In the words of Maya Angelou, “When people show you who they are, believe them.” Instead of trying to change others, this is the time to be the change you want to see in your life. If that means that you end up changing your relationships in unexpected ways, so be it. You can’t stop change from coming; all you can do is make sure those changes have the potential to make meaningful improvements in your life.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
It’s time for you to put in practice the lessons of your past, dear Scorpio. There are some things that you absolutely know better about but you haven’t yet developed the habits or the bravery to act on that knowledge. The new moon on the 11th is a fertile time for you to plant new seeds. Do your best to act in ways that reflect your wisdom, even when you’re feeling sad, vulnerable or scared. This is one of those times when you let go of control that you finally get a grasp on your life.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Freedom isn’t just about being able to do whatever you want; it’s about living in a way that reflects your truth. This week may find you struggling to express yourself authentically from within your current situation. Strive to be watchful before you react, Sagittarius. Things may not be quite as they seem at first glance and the more nuanced your take, the better it’ll be. Don’t fear change because it’s inevitable. Strive to make changes that generate sustainable improvements, my love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You know what you want to do and what you need. What you’re struggling with is the fear of failure and insecurity about what others will think. This is a great time to confront your feelings rather than taking them at face value. You’ve grown and learned so much in recent years and it’s time to put that knowledge into practice in new ways. You belong to you; it’s important that you believe it and act like it, Capricorn.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Collaboration doesn’t need to obscure your autonomy. When it’s done right, it’s a meeting of multiple people coming together with complementary but different perspectives, skills and needs. This week, it’s time to do your part without trying to control or direct others. With Saturn moving through your sign for the next couple of years, things aren’t likely to be easy but they are meant to help you grow up. Do your best because it feels right and not just because of your hope for a reward, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Don’t abandon yourself, Pisces. This week, it may feel difficult to find your centre and the worst thing you can do is to seek it in someone else. Strive to find your own will in a sea of other people‘s needs, feelings and critiques. You can’t force yourself into positions that please others all the time without losing track of where to begin and end. Prioritize and centre “me time,” remember who you are and organize your actions from that place.
