The best way to navigate uncertainty is by aligning with what sparks joy and happiness within you this week. There are so many things that could go wrong or go in unexpected ways, and that is outside of your control. If you centre the things, people, and situations that make you feel good and support your well-being, then making choices that are good for you will become much more organic. Tap into your agency by first tapping into happiness, Twin Star.
There’s so much happening right now that it’s a lot to process. You may find yourself reeling this week as you struggle with negative thinking or you sort through situations that challenge your sense of right and wrong. Instead of figuring out the “right“ or “wrong” thing to do, slow down and consider your own patterns, Moonchild. By understanding your own tendencies, you can identify who you want to be as well as how you want to be, in your self-talk and how you show up in the world.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or burned out, do your best to identify three or four things, maximum, that you can actively do to alleviate your concerns. By doing so, you are giving yourself something constructive to focus on and also allowing your emotions to simmer. This week you are going to need to determine when to assert yourself and how much. Find your truth by staying present, no matter how uncomfortable that is, Leo.
Understanding and clarity are so valuable, but when it’s all head and no heart, it’s not consistently reliable. This week it’s important that you explore all of the levels of a thing instead of making assumptions or exchanging ideas and theories for meaning and connection. Even if it’s challenging or triggers insecurity, do your best to explore all angles of a thing so that you can identify what’s most important, and therefore deserving of your precious energy and time, dear Virgo.
This is an excellent time for you to slow down and regain your grounding. In doing so, you can assess what’s happening in the here and now, including your anxieties about what may happen next. You can’t control much in life, but how you engage with others and yourself is where you do have agency. Strive to be emotionally honest this week, even if the honest truth is that you don’t know what you want or need. You don’t have to figure out everything on your own, Libra. Don’t isolate yourself by getting so in your head that you stop connecting with your big old heart.
If you listen to your anxieties, they will lead you astray this week. Don’t allow your worries to drag you down a paranoid path when what you really need is to get grounded and clarify where you’re at and who and how you want to be at this moment in time. You have agency, and when you act in ways that reflect your values, you are guaranteed to be pointed in the right direction. Don’t let your insecurities convince you to abandon yourself and what you care about, Scorpio.
This week you may find yourself stressed out and perceiving things from a scarcity lens that makes you feel trapped or just plain stressed out and worried. While it is important to be honest with yourself about your situation and address your concerns constructively, it’s hard to do that from a scarcity mindset. Strive to simplify your thinking and activities if you can, so that you can tend to your emotions as a foundational step for identifying the difference between your problems and the things that are bringing up big feels for you, Sagittarius.
It’s important that you don’t try to do too much this week, Capricorn. You are likely to be pulled in many directions, and while that may mean that you are feeling productive and moving through things that are important to you, it can also shake down to you acting out of fear-based conditioning. It’s important that you’re just as clear about what you do want and what success feels like as you are about what you don’t want and what failure looks like.
Acting impulsively out of insecurity is going to backfire in a pretty big way this week, Aquarius. Do your best to navigate your inner restlessness and sit with the discomfort of your impatience long enough to actually feel your feelings. In doing so, you can strive to nurture yourself and your situation to the best of your ability. If, instead, you fixate and obsess, you are likely to end up adding to the very chaos you were trying to avoid.
The things that make you feel sad are the very same that require your care and attention this week. Instead of distracting yourself from your feelings, use them as instructions to point you toward what needs your care, attention, and engagement. You have some very old patterns working their way through your life right now, and the cool part of that is that you can reshape them. Be intentional with what you do and your motivations underpinning why you do it, Pisces.
Your greatest strength is accessed when you tap into your vulnerability. There’s a lot going on with you these days, and it’s important that you give yourself the space to process it. You are on the verge of making some meaningful changes, and whether they be subtle or dramatic, it’s important that you honour the things that are important to you, even though taking a chance on what you most desire can be super scary. Take it one step at a time, Aries.
You’re moving through some deep emotions, and it’s opening the door for you to grow, but it’s on you to walk through it. You have the chance to let go of ways of being, which is hard, beautiful, and requires a great deal of intention. Make sure you are staying aligned with what is authentic for you, and within that, open and adaptable. This is not so that you may change what’s true for you based on your circumstances, but instead so that you can shift how you hold and express that truth.
