Your Weekly Horoscope

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Forward momentum is one of your favorite things! That said, in life it's inevitable that you run up against limitations—both internal as well as external. This week it's important that you practice being curious about both what's happening in your life and within your psyche. When progress is halted, you can always decide to use that as a valuable opportunity to learn more about your own inner landscape.
Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As tempting as it may be to look outside of yourself for answers, this isn't the time to do that, Capricorn. This week it's important that you carve out space for yourself to feel what you feel—confusion, uncertainty, and all. The true assignment is for you to practice holding your boundaries without micromanaging how other people feel about them. Show up as best you can and allow other people the space to do the same.
Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
As the saying goes, "what you resist shall persist.” This week you are in a bit of a tricky place—as you identify what isn't working, it may be tempting to fixate on your perceived problems or project them out and fixate on an adversary. Keep your focus on your own sweet self, Aquarius. Where are you? Allow your thoughts to linger, and what you choose to do is a reflection on you and all that you can control today and every day.
Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
The path to seeking peace is not one of guaranteed peace, but instead one of orienting and re-orienting yourself towards finding equilibrium within yourself. This week may find you struggling with anxious thoughts asking you to identify and hold your boundaries. You don't need to be perfect in order to be pointed in the right direction, Pisces. Cultivate awareness of what it feels like to be out of alignment so that you can adapt in ways that are small and large when needed.
Aries
March 21-April 19
Ruled by Mars, you can find yourself in a rush a lot of the time, even when it's not necessary. This week your assignment is to move slowly enough that you actually feel your emotions. Because the more in touch you are with what's happening under the surface, the better position you are in to effectively nurture and support yourself and the people and things you care about, Aries.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
The new moon in your relationship house on the 19th is likely to activate some uncomfortable relationship dynamics. Do your best to be curious about what the people you are close to are going through before centreing your own experiences and preferences, Taurus. In understanding where other people are coming from, you are better poised to meet in a healthy and happy middle.
Gemini
May 21-June 21
It is the very things that hurt your feelings or make you feel stuck in your circumstances that need your attention, Twin Star. The point to which you are willing to explore your emotions lines up precisely with your capacity for evolving beyond the spot you keep getting stuck at. Don't just review the stories you tell yourself—explore the emotions and assumptions that underpin them this week.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
The new moon on the 19th is going to bring your emotions to the surface, which may activate feelings of burnout, overwhelm, and exhaustion. While that's no fun, these feelings come to the surface so that you can cope with them. Listen to what your system is telling you and do what you can to either take some things off your plate or adapt your attitude to be more empathetic to your feelings and needs. You may not be able to control your circumstances, but you can shift how you approach the way they make you feel, Moonchild.
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
This week you may find yourself overwhelmed by anxieties that make you feel like you're pulled in too many directions at once. Instead of trying to figure things out or come up with an answer, do your best to gather up your energy and have more faith in yourself. The details of your situation are not as important as how you rise to meet it. For best results, approach your situation collaboratively instead of forcing your will, and explore possibilities before you decide what's happening and why.
Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Taking responsibility for yourself is easier said than done. This week’s new moon on the 19th will activate your self-awareness. Take a deeper look at the emotions that underpin your actions in the past few months, and take time to reflect on the values that have guided you to focus on some things instead of others in order to cultivate greater self-awareness. Tap into your process as a way to keep it on track, Virgo.
Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week it's important that you identify the role you're playing within your relationships. Someone that you are close to is likely to be changing, and your first instinct may be to take that personally. Reflect on your own wellness to allow others to be different than you expect or even want them to be and see if you can practice letting them go in directions that you don't quite understand. Change is afoot and that's not a bad thing! Your assignment is to adapt.
Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
The new moon in your sign on the 19th may bring your emotions to a point of critical mass. Make no mistake, the best way to cope with whatever it is that gets activated is by having healthy boundaries with yourself as well as with others. Boundaries, unlike rules, are clarity about, and embodiment of, what you can and cannot do in a healthy way. They are yours to uphold, even when other people can't or won't. Don't strive to have control, instead strive to embody your needs and truth.
