Your Weekly Horoscope

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You may be feeling restless and like you need to follow your impulses to get away from some unpleasant emotions, but that's not the best strategy this week. Do your best to sit with your feelings with an open mind and an open heart so that you may better understand what's happening inside of you, and through that, what you really need. Even if you can't do the most ideal thing at this time, understanding where you're at and making conscious choices will make you feel much better, Capricorn.
Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The more uncomfortable you are feeling your feelings, the worse this week is going to be for you. You've likely been pushing yourself just a little bit too hard lately, and this week is when your emotions are going to rise to the surface requiring care from you. Do your best to slow down and nurture your system. That way, you won’t act out against yourself or others with friction and discord when what you really need is flow and collaboration, Aquarius.
Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Everyone wants to be a hero, but nobody wants to have to go through the struggle to get there. This week your challenge is to be willing to change in ways that reflect your best parts instead of your strongest parts. You are growing, and within that is so much possibility. But there is also the potential for you to revert back to old ways because they're comfortable or habitual. Dare to shine bright this week, Pisces.
Aries
March 21-April 19
It's really difficult to make things happen exactly as you wish they would, but when you collaborate with your circumstances or other people, you are incredibly powerful. This week is not the time for you to take control or manipulate people to be more like you wish they were. Instead, strive to collaborate and co-create the beginnings of what you wish to have and steward in your life, Aries.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
The astrology of this week is all over the place and you may be feeling anxious or uncertain. The worst thing you could do in response to that is double down. This isn't the time for you to motivate through your ego because what's truly needed is to tap into what's most authentic for you and centre that. In the big picture of your life, it's more important that you do what's hard when it's needed instead of prioritizing ease, Taurus.
Gemini
May 21-June 21
What you hold onto says a lot about you, Twin Star. This week is a good one to reflect on the people, attitudes, relationships, and other connections that you are keeping in your life, and why. This may be a time when you need to let go of your attachment to things looking a certain way or your life playing out in a particular way. Allow room for the unexpected and open the way for possibility wherever you can.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
When you struggle with something in your relationships, it's important to ask yourself whether what's most needed is to justify or defend yourself and your entitlement or the entitlement of others, or if you just need to hold your damn boundaries. This week you may need to get into it with someone else or you may need to honour your own limits and needs. The only way to tell the difference is by sitting with your situation and really listening to your heart and what it needs, Moonchild.
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
You are being invited into change, but nothing is going to force you to choose it. Do your best to embrace this moment no matter where you're at, Leo. The emotional honesty required from you to be here now may be challenging, or it may feel really good. Either way it's important to remember the old saying that promises that "what you resist shall persist." Choose authenticity wherever you can this week.
Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
As adults our decisions aren’t really about individual choices as much as they’re about the actions that we take in response to our intentions for ourselves and how to live our lives. This week you are challenged to drill down on what's important to you and to make sure that your actions reflect that. This is a time to nurture your intentions through consistent action, Virgo.
Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
There's a danger that anxiety will inspire you to project the very things you wish to avoid onto people and situations. It can be all too easy to convince yourself that your fears are inevitable, and your projections are pattern recognition, but that doesn't make it wise. This week your assignment is to stay emotionally connected to yourself in the present moment. This will empower you to navigate through your insecurities and be more accountable to your own self-care.
Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Having boundaries is really hard because it requires that you know yourself well, have enough self-worth to honour and centre your needs, and that's all before you communicate your boundaries and limits to other people! Once you have communicated what you can and cannot do in a healthy way, it's ultimately your job to uphold and model those boundaries within yourself and in dynamics with others. This week is all about having and holding healthy boundaries out of self-love, Scorpio.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
There's going to be a new moon in your sign on the 19th and it may have you questioning things. Exploring the questions is how you find your answers. This isn't the time for trying to create certainty; instead, strive to sit with the discomfort of what you don't know so you can better understand what's happening deep inside of you. Your fears are important information, but they're not predictions, so be willing to hear them out without attributing power to them this week, Sagittarius.
