Gemini
May 21-June 21
On the 26th, there will be a new moon in your sign, and this means that it is a particularly fertile and effective time to set intentions and point yourself on a new path. The trick to doing this most effectively is to first accept where you’re at, even if that means accepting imperfections or things that you wish were different. This acceptance is simply self-awareness and can help you to deal with all aspects of your reality with the greatest amount of wisdom and effectiveness. Don’t block your blessings by focusing on shoulds or what-ifs, Twin Star.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
You may have to confront some frustrations or disappointments this week, but by doing so, you’re likely to free yourself from your attachments to them. Actively engage with your hopes and worries so that you can navigate the realities you find yourself in and the resources and challenges that they set in motion. You don’t have to have all of the answers—only the willingness to explore what needs doing, what’s possible, and how to nurture yourself as you navigate it all.
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
This is a bad time for rushing to fix things that you actually just need to sit with, Leo. You may be feeling sad or bad and looking to assign blame to yourself or someone else, and that’s not terribly helpful. Instead, strive to create room in your life to sit with heavy emotions, resisting the urge to try to "fix" or do anything about them. It’s only by cultivating presence with what is that you can assess with integrity what the next best steps are, my fiery friend.
Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The new moon on the 26th is likely to have you feeling pretty rattled, and that’s no fun, but it’s not necessarily bad, either. There are some things that you have been shoving down and trying to avoid fully feeling or processing, and this week they need your care and attention. Be brave enough to be honest about what you’re feeling, what you need, and what you’re actually choosing to do. It’s time to get your actions aligned with your values, even if that means you need to sort through some sticky emotions.
Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You have lots of ideas, and honestly, many of them are great. The thing is, though, that you need to clarify your motivations and your ambitions this week. By doing this, you can streamline your priorities and where you put your energy. The truth of the matter is that you can do it all, but you can’t do it all all at once. While you need to make choices, those choices are not written in stone. Do your best from where you’re at and with what you’ve got, Libra.
Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
This is a really valuable time to reflect on your patterns, Scorpio. Whether there are habitual ways that you act when you’re feeling triggered, or dynamics in your relationships that you feel you keep reliving, the common denominator is always you. If you’re willing to explore your own behaviours and the complexes that motivate them, this is a time when you will likely gain true insight into yourself and your life. This will empower you to have healthier, clearer boundaries when you need them.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The new moon on the 26th in your solar relationship house is going to stimulate some movement in your life. Depending on how hard you’ve been pushing yourself and others lately, it may be a really good thing or one thing too many. Consider the role of your approach in all of your relationship dynamics, Sagittarius. You may be doing all the right things, but if you’re doing them in a way that makes others feel rushed or that doesn’t allow you to fully process your emotions, you’re likely to get results that don’t make you too happy. Act with clarity or don’t act at all this week.
Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You may be feeling frustrated, but that doesn’t mean that you’re pointed in the wrong direction. This week you are on call to explore and evaluate your boundaries. Are you setting intentions for yourself but not following through? Are you navigating self-care consistently, or have you been checking out of managing your welfare? This isn’t the time for controlling outcomes, but it is the time for taking greater responsibility for what you’re doing to care for yourself, and by extension, others.
Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You may be feeling overwhelmed and having to deal with the consequences of things you’ve said or done this week. This week it’s important that you stay emotionally open and honest, both with yourself and others, Aquarius. By doing this you can best leverage the new moon on the 26th. Show up for what’s important to you, even when it’s messy or sticky, and adapt as best you can to the needs of the situations and people around you.
Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
This week’s new moon, happening on the 26th, is an invitation for you to cultivate greater self-protection. This doesn’t mean that you should hide yourself away or curtail your self-expression in any way. This is instead an invitation to slow down, get grounded, and reconnect with your roots so you can prioritize and protect what’s most valuable to you. Not only will this help you to feel better, but it will support you in your efforts to do better, Pisces.
Aries
March 21-April 19
Too much—even too much of a good thing—is still too much, Aries. This week it’s important that you don’t put too much new stuff on your plate before you process what’s already there. Your relationships need some tending to, and the more willing you are to address matters honestly and with care, the better things will progress for you. I know it's awkward, but this is the time for leading with your heart and honouring vulnerable truths.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
The Gemini new moon on the 26th is an opportunity for you to traverse through some meaningful emotional terrain, Taurus. This isn’t the time for looking outside of yourself for answers, but instead for tapping into your emotions so that you can explore where you’re at and allow yourself to dream of what could happen next. Dreams are not the same as plans, but they’re often the first step towards them. Open up to all that is possible this week.
