Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week is all about foundations. How you approach what you do, the ways in which you manage your time and whether or not you follow through with your word are all on the line for you. Strive to have a strong enough ego to know what you can and can’t do in a realistic way. There’s no shame in being vulnerable, or in knowing your own limits. Give yourself the space you need to get grounded and to focus on your own development, Libra.

Boundaries are not a cruelty, they’re kindness. That said, saying no to people or clarifying expectations can be awkward or upsetting. Align your emotions with your actions this week, especially when it comes to your relationships. If you’re defensive or fishing for a particular reaction, people will feel your mixed vibe messages and react in ways that you find odd or even insensitive. It’s okay to be in a work in progress, dear Scorpio. Take it one step at a time.

Knowing and understanding are not the same as accepting, Sagittarius. This week, you may be struggling to emotionally process what you cognitively understand and it’s bound to be uncomfortable. It’s okay to be of many minds and have complicated feelings about a thing. Allow yourself the space to process through the complexity of your feelings now so that you don’t unwittingly self-sabotage or do something weird that you’ll have to undo later.

Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You’re on the right path and you’re moving in the right direction. That said, you’re not in control, but what else is new? This week may find you struggling to accept what you can’t change—and it’s uncomfortable. Instead of seeking perfection, seek authenticity and centre what and who makes you happy. You can’t get everything you want, but you can get everything you need. Make sure your priorities reflect what’s truly important, Capricorn.

Jan. 20-Feb. 18
As you change yourself, even if it’s an improvement, it’s inevitable that you’re going to feel overwhelmed or confused from time to time. This week you’re likely to be able to see the merit and value in what you’re doing, but still feel plagued by concerns. Instead of acting out of frustration, take a minute to sit with your feelings, Aquarius. Prioritize nurturing yourself as you grow. Transitioning how you approach and cope with your life is a long-term process.

The power of love is a remarkable thing, Pisces. When directed inwards it gives you resiliency and strength. When directed outwards, there are a myriad ways but it can improve your life and the lives of those around you. But love and tenderness do not need to come at the expense of boundaries and self-care. Love yourself enough to treat others in a way that you can sustain. Take responsibility for your emotional capacity this week.

No matter how strong you are, no Aries is an island. This week your success really does depend on your ability to include others in your process, my fiery friend. No matter how wonderful you feel you’re doing, if you don’t communicate what’s up with you to others, they may feel left out or just generally hurt by not being included. Even though it may slow you down, don’t forget to include the little people in whatever it is that’s important to you, Aries.

April 20-May 20
This week is a bit of a mixed bag for you, Taurus. While you are stepping up and acting from your heart with great bravery and strength, you may also be freaking out just a lil’ bit. It’s okay, and even normal, to be anxious in the face of big changes. Tend to the emotions you’re feeling without letting them undermine the certainty of your actions. Just because things aren’t perfect doesn’t mean they’re not exactly as they’re meant to be, my love.

Even when everything is going your way, you’re not guaranteed to feel fantastic, Twin Star. You figured out some really important things recently, and it’s empowered you to act in new and inspired ways. That said, your feelings might not have fully caught up with your insights. Your frustrations this week are a sign of what your heart can’t quite handle yet. Be brave, Gemini. But also be gentle with yourself as you develop new ways of being.

June 22-July 22
If you keep on adding content to your plate, you run the risk of feeling so overwhelmed that you just shut down. No matter how impatient you (or others!) are feeling, this is not the time to rush things. Your development deserves care and patience. Honour your growth by taking it at a pace that you can sustain this week. It may be vulnerable to go slow, but since when are you scared of a little vulnerability, Moonchild?

July 23-Aug. 22
In your rush to make things happy and secure, you may have actually burnt yourself out and unintentionally undermined your sense of stability. Think in terms of integrating the pieces instead of solving the whole puzzle, Leo. Not everything needs to be sorted all at once; you only need to be on the path and doing the work for now. How you approach the things that are important to you is more important than where you’re at with them.

Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Your relationships are what’s up this week, and it’s likely to be a bit messy. You may feel tempted to pull back or shut down, but that’s not your best move. Lean into the moment, Virgo. As very real issues emerge between yourself and others, you have the opportunity to make your intimacies more real or to essentially be dishonest. Choose your actions wisely because you’ll find yourself on the hook in coming months for what you do (or don’t do!).
