Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
It’s time to take a pause, Virgo. If you’re willing to confront the truth, you’ll see that you’ve lost your way. Sadly, you’re so caught up in what you think you’re supposed to do that it feels like a course correction is impossible — but it’s not. Change is an inevitable part of life, especially if you want to grow. Empower yourself by considering all your options, even if some of them feel scary to consider right now.

Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Just because you can’t see what’s next doesn’t mean that you have anything to worry about. You need to be strong and have confidence that you can pull off your vision, Libra. At the same time, you need to release some attachments. They’re getting in the way of your ability to go with the flow. The upside? You’ll have the strength to handle any change that comes to you as you go for your dreams.

Scorpio
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
If you don’t believe in yourself, you’re kinda screwed. No one is confident all of the time, but you need to be able to separate out all of your anxious mind-chatter from your intuition and inner wisdom. This week is a great one to get into meditation or step up your mindfulness game. Remember to do the little things like breathe, drink enough water, and sleep enough so that you have access to your most reliable inner resources. Finding peace is an inside job.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
You don’t need to figure it out, Sagittarius. If you’re upset and don’t know what to do, take the space you need and do nothing. There’s a big shift in energy this week, and if you allow yourself to get caught up in your feelings and blindly react, you run the risk of making mountains out of molehills, my love. Don’t rush so suddently to find answers that you ignore your gut feeling. Act with integrity, not out of impulse alone, my love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
If you’re too willful, you won’t get what you want – you’ll get what you’re most scared of. This week you may find yourself having some really good luck, but it may be easy come, easy go. Your best move is to be careful about what you wish for. Distill what you think you want into its most essential core, so when opportunity knocks, you have a way of evaluating whether it’s a shiny bobble or as valuable as 24K gold. Seek the feeling, not the thing for once, Cappy my love.

Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You don’t need to possess something in order to understand it, and you don’t need to understand it in order to value it. This week your willingness to show up is required. If you strive to be emotionally present, you’ll find that you will naturally make the connections that you’ve been trying to force. If you’re willing to grow beyond where you’ve been, you can gracefully move leaps and bounds ahead, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
When you get pushed around, it’s easy to want to deflate, but that’s the exact opposite of what you should do. Trust yourself, Pisces. Rely on your instincts and have the confidence to follow through with what they tell you. Around mid-week you may need to take a break from everything and commit to some good old fashioned self-care. Don’t pressure yourself to be anywhere other than where you are. Do what you need to do to be right with yourself, sweet one.

Aries
March 21 – April 19
It’s time, Aries. You’re changing, and your potential is great. The only problem is that if you bring back your old ways, you’ll change the way things look on the surface instead of how they really are. Intense feelings are an inevitable part of major transitions, so be patient with yourself if you’re kinda freaking out this week. You’ll need courage to follow through, but if you’re not stepping out of your comfort zone, you’re probably not doing it right, my love.

Taurus
April 20 – May 20
It’s hard to have perspective when you’re stressing. This week you need to take a gentle step back from your concerns in order to better deal with them, Taurus. You’re ready to make some changes, but if you’re not thoughtful about what they look like, you’ll end up creating chaos in the very dynamics you’re trying to make sustainable. Slow down and reassess your attitudes and your situation. This will allow you to make sure you’re on the right path before you commit yourself to it.

Gemini
May 21 – June 21
You know what you want, but you don’t know if you can get it, and that’s an uncomfortable place to be. You run the risk of wavering between big confidence and small thinking this week, and it’s no fun. The first step in front of you is to clarify your big picture goals. Once that’s done, dial back the things you need to do to get to that point. You can’t have it all right away, but you can have it all if you’re willing to let it come to you in pieces, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22 – July 22
You’re going to need bravery for a meaningful aspect of your life, so show up for the good, the bad, and the ugly this week. It’s not the time to wait for your fear to subside. It’s time to step into your fears and better understand what they’re trying to tell you. If you take your anxieties too literally this week, you’ll end up way off track. Breathe into them, Moonchild. Show yourself compassion for your splintered parts because that kind of kindness will help you become a more united and whole person.

Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
If you’re being true to yourself, you may have to disappoint some people some of the time. This week you probably don’t want to be alone, but you kinda need to be, Leo. If you’ve gotten too wound-up lately or you’re just simply attached to getting a certain outcome, it’s time for a time out. Realign with your priorities and, more intimately, who you are at your essence. Who you are in tumultuous times says a great deal about your character, my love.
