Taurus ♉️

April 20-May 20

If you've taken on too much recently, you're likely dealing with the consequences this week, Taurus. Your assignment is to find collaborative ways of coping instead of quick fixes (or unnecessarily taking on burdens that are meant to be shared). Sometimes the best way to love other people and cultivate closeness is by letting them know that you're going through a difficult time—and letting them help you when you need it. Self-reliance is so important, but it's not the same thing as never letting other people get close. Open up this week, Taurus.

Gemini ♊️

May 21-June 21

You are at the end of an important cycle of development and there's so much potential alive in that, Twin Star. The question to ask yourself is not, "What should I do?” but instead, "What is true for me, right now?” When you grow and change, you inevitably go through a period of uncertainty as you try out new things despite not knowing how they will land. This week, be brave enough to practice new ways of being.

Cancer ♋️

June 22-July 22

As you reflect on what you're feeling, it's important that you tend to the needs of your body, Moonchild. Your assignment this week is to not obsess or indulge in perfectionism, but instead to explore your feelings and your needs—and to reflect on your situation at large. By taking an emotionally informed and grounded approach, you will not only have greater clarity but also greater access to your intuition, and that will help both you and your relationships.

Leo ♌️

July 23-Aug. 22

Instead of fixating on things, strive to better understand your relationship to them. In other words, this is an important week for boundaries, Leo. This is a time when you may find yourself stressing out. Instead of tapping into your emotions, the wisdom they have to impart and the important data they can offer, you may be ruminating. Take hold of yourself and get intentional about what you need to do—and why—so that you can deepen instead of deplete, Leo.

Virgo ♍️

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Prioritize your happiness this week, Virgo. There are so many ways that you can choose to be happy—by making important shifts to your attitude, doing things that bring you pleasure, and spending time in places and with people that make you laugh or are life-affirming. You can't control how you feel, but you can certainly choose to invest energy and time into people and things that spark joy without needing it to be perfect or even productive.

Libra ♎️

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Don't allow anxieties to derail you this week, Libra. This is a time to gently reflect on what isn't working, instead of anxiously projecting about things that are out of your control—which include global events, other people's feelings and what happens next.

Scorpio ♏️

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

You may be having a hard time trusting yourself this week, and that can lead to sticky feelings and even stickier behaviours. Make sure that the relationship you have with yourself is supportive. In other words, be kind to yourself as you struggle. You are changing and it's bound to have its uncomfortable moments. Don't be in such a rush to get past them that you miss out on opportunities to learn—and to let go of unhealthy attachments.

Sagittarius ♐️

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

This is a really important time for laying foundations. You may be feeling frustrated or burnt out this week. If so, it's important to take a big-picture view on how you cope with your feelings, your needs and your obligations. This is a crucial time to honour your word, both to others and to yourself! Don't throw out one for the other as you navigate through some thorny impulses and tender feelings, Sagittarius.

Capricorn ♑️

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Ideally speaking, friendships are life-affirming and fun. This week it's important for you to reflect on the state of your friendships, including the one you have with yourself. You don't need to make any major changes just yet. Instead, it's time for earnest and honest reflection on what patterns are playing out, what is and isn't working, and the values that have contributed to your choices and actions.

Aquarius ♒️

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Your assignment this week is to rise to the occasion. The problems that present themselves to you need your care, attention and courage, Aquarius. You may be dealing with some stressors that have you in your feelings. While that might not be super fun, be brave enough to honour your emotions and learn more about your needs. The road to equilibrium is likely to be a little bumpy, but it'll get you there all the same.

Pisces ♓️

Feb. 19-March 20

You're likely having a pretty intense reaction to something that's happening in your life right now, or to something that may possibly happen in the future. Identify what's happening in the here and now so that you can figure out what needs to be done to protect yourself both internally and dynamically in the situations that arise this week, Pisces.

Aries ♈️

March 21-April 19

Learning from your past can be really challenging because it takes a good measure of reflection and presence. You have to be present enough to notice patterns repeating themselves and reflective enough to identify your role within those patterns. This week is not a time to strive for control or containment. Instead, notice what things are playing out in your life and extrapolate meaning from them so that you can meet each moment wisely.
