Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
It is healthy and wise to be honest about your feelings and to stay with them even when they’re hard. It may seem paradoxical, but spending time with your disappointments and sorrow may be the quickest way to feeling better and to feeling grateful for what you’ve got. Even if it’s awkward, this week is an excellent time for you to move slowly as your heart needs you to and to care for yourself however you need.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Life has a funny way of being paradoxical; you know you want peace and calm in your life and that might mean that you need to confront things directly or cut people out with whom peace is simply not possible. This week you’re not meant to be passive in your own life. Think about the big picture of what you want, or what is true for you, then a little bit of short-term discomfort is a small price to pay for putting your life on track.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week you’re likely to find yourself in an overwhelming emotional state. While it’s for sure difficult and unpleasant, what’s worse is your fear of losing yourself within those feelings. Prioritize the self-care that you know actually works for you. That might mean you need to take long walks, dance to the oldies, journal, or just listen to music really loud. It doesn’t have to be deep to have a meaningful and lasting impact on your life, sweet Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Slowing down to gather your energy or catch your breath is not a sign of things stopping, but instead an investment in your own vitality, especially in hectic times. This week you are moving through some very exciting and meaningful terrain, and as tempting as it may be to rush, don’t forgo thoughtfulness for expedience. Your energy will be stronger and your insights more viable if you stay grounded, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
This week it’s important that you take a steady, grounded and creative approach to matters. You may find that you’re restless for progress and the truth. The quickest way to achieve what you want is by taking it step by step. Resist the urge to compare where you’re at to where you wish you were. This moment is the only one that you have to worry about because ultimately the present is all that you’ve got, Capricorn.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
If you act out of frustration you will only stir up more opposition than you bargained for, Aquarius. This week you are likely to be feeling annoyed about something you have to deal with. Be on the lookout for the patterns that are running through your life so that you can both make better decisions, but also so that you can understand that what you’re going through is meaningful to your own development, and not just because of annoying people and situations.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
There are two kinds of pain, Pisces. The first is the pain of breaking that brings you further from yourself and seems to have no purpose. The other is the pain of healing. This pain can hurt just as much but there is meaning that comes as a result of it. Don’t be in such a rush to evade stress and pain that you don’t first seek to understand it. You can make the most of whatever experience you’re having.

Aries
March 21-April 19
It’s time to let go, Aries. If you’ve been holding on too tight or finding yourself attached to what you think “should” happen, it’s time to get out of your own way so real progress can occur. You don’t need to direct or control the flow of things; you only need to show up in a way that reflects the strength and truth of who you are. Let people and situations reveal themselves to you. Just keep doing you, my fiery friend.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Protect your energy this week. It’s not the time to take on something when you’re feeling overextended or attacked. Those feelings come up for a reason and need to be listened to. If you can’t take a big break, take lots of mini breaks to check in with your body, your emotions and even your expectations. As tempting as it is to rush to goals, getting there frayed isn’t going to serve anyone, least of all you, Taurus.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
As a highly mercurial sign not knowing the answers or what comes next can be really uncomfortable for you unless you can cultivate genuine interest. There’s a meaningful difference between being interested in something and investigating from that place, and being anxious and obsessive in your thinking. Your ability to track that difference will be very impactful to your mental wellness this week, twin star. Seek the truth, not perfection.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
Your personal relationships, especially the close ones, reflect your deep emotional patterns. This week you may be confronted with how you interact with and manage anxious thinking around the people you’re closest to. Don’t be shy to ask for help when you need it, but be aware of self-fulfilling prophecies where you ask the wrong people and get disappointed. Apply your wisdom to matters of the heart, moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
You may have the very best ideas and the capacity to pull them off brilliantly, but that doesn’t mean that this is the time. Make sure that your enthusiasm doesn’t turn to impatience as this week you are likely to be stalled by either external or internal forces. Consider this an important time for learning how to pivot and two understand how ebbing is an important part of any flow. See where you’re at, even if it’s not where you’d rather be.
