Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Letting go of control helps you to get out of your own way, because let’s face it, you’re not totally certain of what comes next. Slow down so that you can consider what’s happening now as a result of your past experiences. Note the themes running through your life this week so that you can employ your hard won wisdom and apply it to your present situation. This isn’t the time to take less responsibility, Aquarius, but it is the time to move beyond attachments.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
It’s time to make a choice, Pisces. This week, you may feel plagued by indecision, but you have the answers you need. Don’t waste your energy worrying over whether you’re right or wrong. Every action has a consequence and all you need to do is take the next step. What you do now will not be written in stone; you can make adjustments as needed, especially if you take small steps forward. Don’t let your indecision block your progress.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Instead of seeking answers, strive to get grounded this week, Aries. Once you come to accept the things that have been stressing you out the most, you can actually start to deal with them. You are changing in deep and meaningful ways, but in order for these changes to gracefully play out, you need to let go of your attachment to how you think things “should” be. Acceptance is the foundation of change. Embrace what is, and make adjustments from there.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Don’t waste your time worrying about being wrong, Taurus. Honour what feels right to you, even if it seems risky or goes against other people’s expectations. What comes next for you will take effort and care, but it’s totally worth it. Strive to know yourself well enough to identify your best interests, and to love yourself fiercely enough to pursue it. This week, your desire to fit into others’ expectations is a distraction you should avoid.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Your personal relationships are likely to be a little tumultuous this week. If you recoil from difficult emotions it might make you feel better in the short term, but it won’t help you move on and grow into the person you ultimately want to be. Your frustrations are pointing you towards what needs attention. Be brave enough to feel your most complicated emotions so you can find new ways of responding to them.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
You deserve a time out, Moonchild. The energy of the past few weeks has been so intense, and as a highly sensitive person it’s hit you right in the feels. Remember to carve out time in your daily activities and check in with yourself. Do what you can to manage and care for your own emotional well-being so that you can make the best possible decisions in your material life. The key to maintaining effective behavioural consistency is self-care, my love.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
It’s not only important what you do, it’s important how you do it, Leo. This week is likely to confront you with some burnout and all the difficult emotions that come along with it. Pace yourself, especially when it feels like you can’t or you shouldn’t. The foundation to your future is in this very moment. Honour it by doing what is needed instead of following your most insistent feelings. Bring intention to all you touch this week.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Allow yourself to be surprised this week, Virgo. Instead of charting out of course, be willing to explore your options and be interested in the possibilities. This doesn’t require throwing caution to the wind, but the more open your mind is the easier it will be for you to find an adjusted approach that better fits your needs. You are growing in new directions and it will inevitably require new approaches.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You are moving through some deep and meaningful emotional terrain this week, Libra. Gather your energy by slowing down and giving yourself permission to be watchful. You may need to make some meaningful changes, but if you do so in reactive or impulsive ways, you’re going to have to deal with the consequences. Give yourself the space you need to consider your motives, as well as what you’ll do and how you’ll do it, my love.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Your tendency to jump to worst case scenarios rarely does you any favours, and this week is no exception. Prioritize caring for your anxieties instead of amplifying them, Scorpio. You don’t need to know what’s coming next, or even to completely understand what’s happening now, to align with your integrity and values. Show up in one small way at a time.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Your feelings are not a distraction from what you need to do, they’re an arrow pointing you in the right direction. You’re likely to need to be a bit self-protective this week as you drop in with some touchy emotions. Honour what you’re feeling and potentially recalibrate. You’re growing, Sagittarius, and that means some of your long standing tools and perspectives will be changed along the way.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Burnout is real, and in order for you to avoid it you need to prioritize honouring your feelings and needs before they get out of hand. You know you’re feeling maxed out, Capricorn, but you may not know what to do about it. Look at your schedule and determine where you can create space for yourself. Slow down so you can fortify your energy. Invest in longevity this week.
