Gemini
May 21-June 21
The truth is always important, but there is often a meaningful difference between what you want to get off your chest and what you want the other person to hear. Be careful that you don’t say things that, while technically true, only work against your goals and don’t truly reflect your heart’s truth. This is a great week for journaling and generally venting your reactions before you decide how to respond. Your impulses may be compelling, but it’s your job to determine if they are wise, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
This week’s lunar eclipse is kicking up major emotions for everyone in the zodiac, but you’re an old pro at dealing with your ruling planet. You’re likely to have to make a choice this week, moon child. How you engage with others in response to your feelings has as much to do with how well you’ve been taking care of yourself, as it does your current situation. Let go of attachments and do your best to show up in ways that express your whole heart, my love.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Being vulnerable is intimidating, but it’s eclipse season, so it’s also pretty inevitable. Instead of allowing yourself to avoid unpleasant emotions, which really only leads to defensive reactions when things come to surface, strive to create some space to sit with the mess of emotions that emerge for you this week. You are likely to find yourself wrestling with some old demons, but that doesn’t mean you need to wrestle with them in old ways. Get honest about what you’re really fighting for and be willing to change as needed.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
As you find ways of centering yourself this week, it’s important to remember that you do not exist or thrive in a vacuum. The people around you may be really struggling, Virgo, and while it’s unhealthy to take that on, it’s also unwise to ignore it or try to micromanage it. This week it’s important to consider what boundaries you need to hold so that you can preserve your emotional wellness and support the people you care about even in complicated situations.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
It’s not wise to take your anxieties at face value this week, Libra. Check in with yourself to see if your efforts to protect yourself from danger is real or imagined and if you have developed defenses or projections. There’s potential for you during this eclipse week to overcome fear. You need to be present and stay open in order to do that in a sustainable way. You are capable, powerful and ready, but you need to believe that about yourself before you can act from those places.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
If you’re feeling impatient to start something, you may be feeling especially frustrated this week. While on paper it may look like a good time for inviting something new into your life, on the inside that’s not quite the case. Give yourself the space you need to clear the decks, reset and emotionally catch-up with the past month or two. Honor your emotional needs by supporting them—this may look like giving yourself space to be in your feelings or to just be tired and uncertain. Either way it’s just a phase, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The lunar eclipse in your sign on the 26th is likely to confront you with something about yourself that requires care and attention. Instead of flying off the handle or getting avoidant, strive to have healthy boundaries. How you hold your needs in your relationship to your own thoughts and feelings, but also in your negotiations with others is a defining component to who you are. Protect what you care most about, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Don’t rush to change before you’re ready, Capricorn. One of the greatest myths about your sign is that you are patient. Not so! While you do have a long game, in the short term you have a tendency to push yourself too far, too fast in efforts to achieve your goals. This week you’re likely to feel confronted by the desire to push past the discomfort of where you’re at to get to a place that you hope is better. Take it slow and steady so that you can check in at every stop to make sure that what you’re doing is authentic.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
This week you may find yourself feeling pretty exhausted, Aquarius, and it’s no wonder. If you’ve been burning the candles at both ends of the wick and generally ignoring your own needs and instincts, this is the time when it’s all going to catch up with you. Regardless of how complicated your thoughts and feelings are, the solution to your troubles is actually pretty simple. Slow down, get present and nurture yourself. It won’t produce answers, but it will support you so that you can be receptive, open and then start to think more clearly, my love.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
This week’s lunar eclipse is likely to kick up thoughts and feelings that make you feel all over the place. As stressful or agitating as this may be, it’s also a really great time for you to practice managing boundaries. Do whatever you can to get grounded so that you can see the patterns that are playing themselves out in your life, Pisces. Change how you participate in those patterns and you change the patterns themselves.

Aries
March 21-April 19
While you’re not in control of how things progress or even how you feel, this is a good week to consider your boundaries. You’re in the throes of repeating patterns in your personal life, and how you take responsibility for your role to play will have a long-term impact on your life. Do what you believe to be right, because it’s right, and not because of what you think you’ll get from here, Aries. When you honor your truth and leave room for others to do the same, real change can occur and the results are more likely to be long lasting.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
If you’ve been feeling burnt out and overwhelmed you may simply need to take this week to recover, Taurus. While that may require you to put some things on hold or do a little less it is absolutely worth it if it helps you to sustain the road ahead. Just make sure that you communicate clearly and empathetically with others if you’re changing plans or downgrading your availability. Protect what you care about by treating it as something special.
