Your Weekly Horoscope
(Illustration: Sacha Stephan)
Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
If you have been pushing yourself too hard or taking on too much you may need a serious break this week, but the universe may have different plans for you. Things are likely to be busy and the best thing you can do is meet your circumstances with as much honesty as you can. Sit with whether that means you need to adapt how you engage or just let people in on your process, Capricorn.
Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You may be feeling sad or frustrated this week because things are not going the way you wish they would, and that is perfectly fair. Instead of conflating how things feel with the way they are, do your best to honour your emotions separately from exploring your circumstances and coming up with strategies for coping. Give yourself the space you need to honour your feelings before you go on any fact-finding missions, Aquarius.
Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Empowerment and courage are not the same as defensiveness and aggression. This week the energy is all over the damn place and you may find yourself struggling to navigate your feelings and needs in a healthy way. Resist the urge to be so in your head that you are fixating on the things that hurt you or that you fear will hurt you down the line. Instead, strive to be present and to meet the moment with your head held high, Pisces.
Aries
March 21-April 19
You may feel really hesitant to speak up, but this is an important time to do just that. The reality is that the truth is true whether you want to accept it or not or whether you deal with it head on or not. Be brave enough to be forthcoming and kind enough to be responsive to the feelings and needs of the people that you are talking to. As your relationships evolve, you have the opportunity to grow too. Strive to meet the moment bravely.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
The things that you were sad about and that give you pause deserve some care, Taurus. This week is a really good one to nurture yourself and your worries instead of pushing them down or ignoring them. As the saying goes, "What you resist shall persist.” Be wary of the instinct to avoid unpleasantness in hopes that the upsetting things will go away on their own. Sitting with the hard stuff can be an important act of self-love.
Gemini
May 21-June 21
As you make moves this week, it's important that you're open to things going differently than you expect them to. If you can let go of your attachment to how you think things "should" go or how they “should” feel, then you can be present and truly curious– empowering you to use your powers of exploration for good instead of to fuel your fears. Seek balance when you need it most this week, Twin Star.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
You are in a tender moment of change and this is likely to stir up some insecurities as you are confronted with what you don't yet know. Do your best to ground into what you do know—and mainly what you care about. When you allow your circumstances to pull you away from your priorities, it can lead to feelings of hopelessness. Strive to better understand your own motivations so that you can maintain a sense of agency as you navigate through the unknown, Moonchild.
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Maintaining a watchful approach will help you identify what's really happening this week. Things are moving really quickly and while you may want to have a sense of stability and security to lean on, it's likely to be unclear what that actually means. Do your best to create the space that allows others to reveal themselves to you. Then pay attention. How other people behave is a reflection on them—and what you do is a reflection on you, Leo.
Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You might find yourself struggling with burnout and feeling overwhelmed this week, and while you are not alone in feeling this way, you do need to take responsibility for what that means for you. This week it's important that you identify, communicate, and hold your boundaries. This is so much easier said than done! You may need to say no to some things, reshuffle others, and navigate your needs in different ways than you have historically. Do what you need to do to make sure that the way that you approach the things that are important to you is sustainable, Virgo.
Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You don't have all the information you need in order to really make sense of things, and there's a serious danger that that will inspire you to ruminate, fixate, and otherwise negatively obsess. Just because you don't know the answer doesn't mean that it will be bad. Just because things are stressful now doesn't mean that they will be stressful forever. This week your assignment is to stay present and adaptable by being open and curious—even when it's uncomfortable to do so. You've got this, Libra.
Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Show up for the things you care about, even when it's hard. Having a life that is rich with joy and love is the goal! Sometimes the path to having the most happiness and for tapping into the well of potential that exists inside of you and in your life is paved with some challenging experiences. Don't confuse momentary discomfort or troubles with your big-picture welfare, Scorpio. This week you may need to confront some challenging things, but it's totally worth it.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This week is a good one for acknowledging what's in your control and what isn't. By doing this, you may be confronted with some complicated emotions or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness. Strive to meet them head on, Sagittarius. This is a good time for recognizing where you're at and establishing foundations—whether that's within yourself or behaviourally and in the world. Just show up.
