You’re going through major changes Aries, and even though you may have made a meaningful breakthrough recently, it might feel like things are moving slowly. Investigate the fire in your belly this week. Is your sense of urgency a response to feeling vulnerable? Or are you just ready to move forward? Either way, this is a good time to slow down and recalibrate so that you can continue to act with integrity and care.

When you don’t know what’s coming next, or what to believe in the here and now, it can be tempting to assume the worst. Be on the lookout for self-fulfilling prophecies this week, Taurus. Don’t fixate so much on the things you fear that you actually create them. Strive to better understand your own psychology and what your patterns are when you feel anxious. If things need to change, you can most easily achieve it by first accepting where you are starting from.

This week, you’re likely to need to slow down and recalibrate. Things have changed; whether it’s you who has changed or your situation, you need to catch up with things as they are and figure out how to best orient yourself in this new landscape. Be honest with yourself about what you don’t know so that you can ask yourself the right questions, and eventually get your answers. This isn’t the time to defensively react to your situation. Come up with a strategy and go from there.

This week is likely to confront you with your fears, Cancer. You can react to them in any way you choose, but the best you can do for yourself is to first nurture your feelings and only after doing that, respond to the contents of your sorrow. In other words, don’t attach to the story that you’re telling yourself about your situation. Find a way to take care of yourself and others that reflects who you are and not where you’re at.

Becoming aware of what isn’t working or what you don’t like can be really upsetting, but it’s also instructive. Allow yourself the freedom to acknowledge the hard stuff so you can go about learning from it and potentially changing it one way or another. This week is a good time for you to strive to be the very change you wish to see in your life, and not to wait for others to do it for you. You’ve got this, Leo.

This is a powerful time for you to achieve greater independence, Virgo. You don’t need to separate yourself from others as much as you need to choose yourself. Make sure that you are clearly communicating with the people you’re close to so they don’t take your personal evolution as some sort of slight or rejection. Self-care, when most effective, happens alongside the maintenance of your healthiest relationships.

This is an important week to fine-tune your relationship to your own intuition. If you’re not able to sit with your instincts, it’s hard to hold onto their wisdom. If you rush to implement your ideas before fully flushing them out, you may end up creating chaos where you’re trying to foster peace. Try to sit with things this week, Libra. Allow room for your emotions without attaching to any of them. In this way you will come to your answers most gracefully.

Make sure that the things that bring you pleasure don’t do so at your own expense, Scorpio. Old entanglements and addictions may be rearing their ugly heads this week, but it’s not for nothing. You don’t need to know what comes next or even what to do in the moment in order to know what is wrong for you. Your best move is to try to sit in discomfort patiently. The answers you seek will find you.

Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This week is likely to find you grappling with some upsets that feel pretty complicated. The good news is that things are changing of their own accord. You will have the opportunity to redirect the things that aren’t working for you very shortly. The bad news is that your emotions need your care and attention. Don’t be in such a rush to be positive that you deny yourself the right to feel poorly about something that isn’t working for you, Sagittarius.

You don’t have to be a leader, and if you want to be a leader you don’t have to lead at all times. You don’t have to be constantly busy or doing things. It’s hard to lean into your emotions when you’re pressuring yourself to go. There is strength in taking a break, in following someone else’s lead, or even in saying “I don’t know.” Dare to switch up how you take care of yourself this week, Capricorn.

How you relate to your fears of failure is in some ways more defining than your individual successes or failures themselves. This week, it’s wise for you to get humble about what is and isn’t working in your approach to things. Part of what will help you in this is making sure that your ego is in a healthy place. Be strong enough to take responsibility where you faltered, and to have the confidence to take what you deserve, Aquarius.

Feb. 19-March 20
While I don’t think you need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, languishing in stress won’t serve you either. Find ways of both supporting and honouring your emotions without enabling yourself to give up or self-sabotage. Don’t forget who you are, Pisces. Align with your centre and act from that place, even if that means feeling more vulnerable and moving more slowly than you had planned.
