Things may not be developing in quite the way you wish they would, the very troubles that you’re coping with right now pointing you towards what needs your attention. Instead of lamenting what is, or wishing what could be, find problems, no matter how small, that you can tackle in efforts to bring some resolution to them. This isn’t the time for comparing yourself to others or losing energy on “what if’s.” Do your best in the here and now, Pisces.

March 21-April 19
You can have it all, but you can’t have it all at once. This week, it’s important that you pace yourself, especially when you’re feeling impatient. If you allow your restlessness and desire for quick results to drive you, you will end up with a boatload of anxiety and not a whole lot to show for it. Take your time to do things in a way that’s right for you, even if that’s the more uncomfortable path. This is a moment of growth for you; seize it, Aries.

You may have to clear some things up this week, Taurus. Your relationships have been changing and things might be unclear. Take time to listen to what others are telling you, both with their words and their actions. You are dealing with patterns in your interpersonal life. Act in ways that reflect the person you want to be instead of the person you once were, or who others expect you to be, my love.

You have gotten clear about what your limits and needs are, but that doesn’t mean that you have clearly communicated that to others yet. This week may be instrumental to your relationships leveling up, Twin Star. Your challenge is to clearly convey your intention without micromanaging or obsessing on what others do with that information. Let others reveal themselves to you this week, and only try to figure out what to do with that information once you have it.

New moons are always an especially sensitive time for you. The shifts that you’re likely to feel on and around Feb. 11 are meant to provoke a driving impulse for change. Your job is to make sure that your motives are clean and that you’re prioritizing your best interests over your most immediate comfort. How you respond to your emotions and situation is what will ultimately define you at this time, Moonchild, so act with kindness and clarity.

July 23-Aug. 22
This week is a powerful time to commit your plans to paper; organize your thoughts outside of you so when emotions run high, you don’t lose track of your plans or yourself. Things can always go sideways; that’s a risk you take whether you’re actively engaged in moving your life forward or not. Be brave and don’t allow fear or pride to stall your progress or throw you off your path. Let others help. You don’t have to do this alone, or do it perfectly, Leo.

Aug. 23-Sept. 22
If you allow yourself to get hung up on the details of your situation, you’re likely to miss out on the underlying patterns within your participation. Don’t undermine your progress by obsessively tracking the little things. You don’t need to prove or justify yourself; all you need to do is be interested in the situation at large and take responsibility for your part. This is one of those times when moving slowly through your process is the most vulnerable and effective way forward.

Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Your relationships are likely to be pushing you to embody changes that may be hard to face this week. You may not be able to perfectly resolve matters, but you can always act in ways that reflect your integrity instead of falling back on people-pleasing habits. In the face of uncertainty, strive to be humble and strong, Libra. Own what you do and don’t know, and be patient with others. This moment is pivotal for you, but it isn’t written in stone.

Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Your relationships are in a state of flux and there are no right or wrong answers—only actions and consequences, choices and circumstances. Instead of reacting to your feelings and fears, strive to be a bit more reflective and self-protective this week. What is it that you really want, Scorpio? Have you communicated that effectively to the people that you care about? Have you given others the time they need to show up? Be honest, so you can get what you truly need.

When you grow, really grow, that means that you must outgrow old ways of being that are no longer serving you. This may sound lovely, but in practice it often means being confronted with loss of ideas, habits, or even relationships, that you still identify with. Explore your attachments with an open mind, Sagittarius. You are going through a meaningful growth spurt, but there may be some hurtful endings along the way.

As you grow and change, you’re likely to have to break some very ingrained old habits, Capricorn. This week, your challenge is to embody your boundaries—whether it’s easy or not. Change is always scary, even when things are objectively improving. Strive to make things better in the long run by honouring what you know of yourself in the here and now, even if that requires you to be uncomfortable for a while.
