The full moon in your relationship house on the 11th is likely to kick up some big, messy feelings. If you find yourself reactive and defensive, you know it’s time to take a breath and tap in because you have the opportunity to be more intentional about how you engage with your emotions and other people. Ultimately, the astrology of this week is pointing you towards having better boundaries with yourself. This requires you to have more clarity about what you need and want—and to embody that clarity as a practice.
It’s another full moon on the 11th, and when your ruling planet gets activated in this way, so do you, Moonchild. Expect defensiveness to be in the air this week, and whether it’s you who’s feeling that way or you are noticing it in other people, do your best to be as emotionally honest as possible. You can nurture yourself in the situations you find yourself in, or you can push through. Spoiler alert: you’ll catch more flies with honey than vinegar this week.
The full moon on the 11th marks the closure of an important cycle, and the more intentional you are about what you want to embody and embrace, the better. Your values are at the forefront of what needs your attention this week, and this is not because of what you will get in return; instead, it’s because when you live your life in accordance with what you believe to be meaningful, it gives you a sense of purpose that has a life-affirming cascade effect upon you and all that you touch. Show up for the important stuff, even when it’s hard, Leo.
They say that home is where the heart is, and for some people, maybe that’s true. But on a deeper level, you are meant to be at home with yourself, in your own skin, and with your own mind. Take time this week sitting with the ways in which you both are and are not feeling at home with yourself. The former deserves your embrace, and the latter holds instruction towards what needs more attention from you. Explore where you’re at without judgment, Virgo.
Boundaries are hard, especially if you centre other people in your thinking, or at least your communications. If you have a pattern of not speaking your truth and letting others know where you’re at, what you need, or even how you feel about what you are and aren’t doing within the relationship, then they simply cannot have that information. This can lead to long-term communication problems and a sense of being alone in your relationships. This week it’s important that you practice healthy boundaries and be on the lookout for the consequences of not having done that in your recent past.
The big theme of this week is taking ownership for how you’ve been showing up for yourself and others, Scorpio. Life isn’t black and white, and it’s important that you acknowledge the nuance in your own motivations, actions and reactions. The more that you are able to acknowledge and own your part, the more sense your life is going to make for you. Embrace complexity and honesty in all you do this week.
On the 11th there will be a full moon in your sign, and it’s designed to bring up a lot of big emotions. This is a powerful opportunity to let go of beliefs, relationships, or even habits that no longer serve you. The trick is not to do everything all at once. As you honour your emotional needs, nature and limits, you are emotionally growing. Pace yourself through whatever comes up this week so that you may remain emotionally present and accountable, by and by.
You may find yourself caught up in negative obsessions and feeling agitated and frustrated this week. If so, it’s really important that you tap into your emotions and feel whatever is underneath those defensive feelings. Your emotional integrity can only guide you if you take the time to tap in and connect with what you’re feeling under the surface. Strive to act in ways that centre your wisest parts instead of your strongest emotions, Capricorn.
This week it’s important that you let go of trying to control matters and instead strive to engage with them as authentically as you can. While you are a very adaptable zodiac sign, as a fixed sign it’s hard for you when it’s not on your terms or in your plans. Trust this week that the side quest is the quest—in other words, how you navigate and handle distractions, upsets, and things out of left field is the assignment.
The full moon on the 11th is likely to stir the pot for you in a pretty meaningful way. This is an opportunity for you to better clarify your big picture ambitions and plans, and the internal blocks you may have to break through so that you may achieve them. Instead of beating yourself up or fixating on what isn’t working, strive to clarify what you want, what you need, and the next best steps to take so that you can achieve your aims, Pisces.
You are not supposed to have all of the answers right now, and that is stressful stuff, Aries. How you engage with uncertainty and anxiety is top of mind this week. Whether you find yourself feeling defensive or anxious, it’s important that you stay connected to your values. If you are acting in ways that reflect them, you can at least have peace with how you are showing up in whatever situation you find yourself in. It is when you abandon yourself and your ethics that you run into the biggest trouble.
The current astrology is unsettling, and that’s not your favorite vibe, Taurus. Consider what you are trying to develop and grow this week instead of fixating on how you can keep things safe and secure. Oftentimes, your biggest growth spurts occur as a result of upsets and big changes. If you can find purpose and value within the chaos, your world, at least, will seem less chaotic. Stay curious this week.
