You’re doing great, Twin Star! The problem isn’t you, the problem is your impatience. Don’t ruin all of your great progress by trying to force your circumstances or relationships to catch up with you too quickly. You’re on the way, but there’s much that still has to play itself out. Strive to be interested in the events around you instead of trying to direct them this week. For now, all you need to know is where you stand, and to let things develop from there.

You are ready to confront your fears, Virgo. The thing to remember is that this moment will not define you—it’s what you do with it that will.

Strive to find balance this week, but not just on the outside, in what you do, but on the inside, with how you speak to yourself. Forgiveness and fairness starts within, my love.

Obsessing on negative thoughts, what ifs, and things you can’t and don’t know, will only succeed in upsetting you, Libra. If this isn’t the time to get answers, try to get some peace. Ask yourself if you can be OK with not knowing the answer right now, and if you can’t, do your best to get there. There is so much that your life requires of you—don’t waste your precious energy on what’s totally out of your control. Find where you have agency here and now, and act from that place.

You’re at your limit. You’ve pushed yourself too far and taken yourself a little further out on a limb than you can sustain, Scorpio.

When you’ve reached your limit and you don’t tap out is exactly when you start making things worse. Knowing yourself is cool, but honoring that knowledge is straight up wise.

Change is in the air this week. As you shift how you do what you do, there’s going to be lots of adjustments for you to make–some obvious, and others more subtle. The key to handling yourself with grace is simple (though not easy): act with emotional integrity, Cappy mon Capitan. This means honoring the principles that you believe in, even with people you don’t like, or situations that seem unfair. Act in ways that reflect who you are, and not just your situation.

What other people think about you is often a bigger reflection of them than it is of you. Instead of allowing strangers and acquaintances to lift you up or smash you down, strive to be the centring force of your self-esteem, Aries.

Tune out distractions and detractors so you can remember who you are, this week.

It’s vulnerable to pick a side. When you align yourself with what you really, really want, all of a sudden you have something to lose. This isn’t the time to let that stop you, though. Get grounded in your desires and preferences so that you can act in deference to them, or at least make conscious compromises. You’re on the verge of something really important, and part of that is about taking a stand for something. Show up passionately, even if that makes you a bit shy, Taurus.
