Taurus

April 20-May 20

This isn’t the right time for you to power forward, Taurus. This week it’s wise for you to slow down and reassess what you’re doing. You may be feeling overwhelmed or just plain exhausted, and those feelings are likely to influence your perception of what’s actually happening and what requires your attention. Fortify your body and your mind and heart will become more resilient.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Pick your battles wisely, twin star. This week you may be feeling really touchy and like you have to defend yourself. While you absolutely may have to stand up for yourself, it is wise for you to sit with and consider that impulse first. You can’t change others just because you’ve clarified your boundaries. Sit with the information that you’ve been given about others or your situation before you go stirring the pot. This may be one of those times where it’s wise to accept what you don’t like, so you can finally move on.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Letting go is hard. Releasing, even when it’s causing you pain, requires you to step into the unknown and that is scary. Consider how your attachments to what you know are serving you, Moonchild. In order to have both hands open to something better you must first release what you know to be no longer serving you. Be courageous in the face of the unknowable this week.

Leo

July 23-Aug. 22

You don’t need to be perfect, Leo. The ways that you’re currently struggling are a really important reflection on your relationship with yourself. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have or what you fear may come, strive to understand the way that your emotions function, especially around scarcity mindedness. You can learn a great deal about your inner workings if you don’t get distracted by the details of your situation this week.

Virgo

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

The changes that you’ve worked so hard to make have done the job of creating more space within you, which may just feel like peace. How divine! The problem is that because you’ve changed in such meaningful, even if sometimes subtle ways, your relationships are directly impacted. Don’t micromanage how others respond to you. Let the chips fall where they may, dear Virgo. Be patient with others’ processes and continue to tend to yourself.

Libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

As we build up towards the May 26 eclipse, you’re likely to be feeling confronted by relationship patterns that require your attention. This isn’t the time to get so distracted by the trees that you miss out on the forest, Libra. You have a role to play in your own patterns and the surest way to resolve your problems is by identifying and coping with your part. Even if the path forward is uncomfortable, if it leads you out of dysfunction, it’s totally worth it.

Scorpio

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Don’t take your disappointments at face value, Scorpio. You may find yourself being eaten up by resentments this week, and it’s a recipe for projections and worst-case-scenario assumptions. Strive to first cope with your own patterns around resentments, and only after that deal with the contents of your feelings or obsessions. Even if you don’t have what you want; what others have, what they feel, or what they do, doesn’t actually mean anything unless you let it.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

If you can be patient, you may find that the insights you’re having and the progress you’re making are changing your very path. If you rush before you’re ready, you may just collide with those changes before you’re ready to make use of them. Allow space for things to gestate this week, Sagittarius. There are no gains that will be had by exhausting yourself or pushing past your breaking point. Protect what you love by sitting with it, my impulsive friend.

Capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

It’s not enough to see things clearly or to have a cognitive understanding. In order to integrate what you’ve learned, you must have an emotional understanding too. Get grounded so that you can get real, Capricorn. There are some meaningful patterns running their way through your life right now, but they will be easy to miss if you’re in too great of a rush. Take the time to reflect on the present in the context of your past so that you can apply the wisdom you’ve accrued, my practical friend.

Aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

What isn’t working in your life, what’s frustrating you and even your failures are not evidence of something being wrong with you. When things don’t work out it’s usually evidence of what needs more attention, care and investigation–not judgement and condemnation. As we build towards the first eclipse of the season and Mercury retrograde you may find that you are all over the place, Aquarius. Strive to be curious about why that is and what you can learn about yourself by how you respond to where you’re at.

Pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

As we near the lunar eclipse on the 26th you may find your sensitivities are ramping up. If you find yourself wrestling with anxieties as you try to make sense of your feelings, here’s a radical notion to consider—don’t. You don’t need to understand why you feel the way you feel in order to treat yourself right. Tend to your emotions before you go trying to make sense of them, Pisces. In this way you’ll have clear perceptions and a clearer approach to what needs to be done.

Aries

March 21-April 19

If you are willing to move slowly enough through your feelings, impulses, and current situations, you will find that you are exactly where you’re meant to be, Aries. You’re likely to find yourself in a stage of growth and development this week, which sounds good, but in reality, means you’re not quite there yet. Don’t confuse the journey for the destination and don’t allow perfectionism to get in the way of the messiness required for a whole hearted effort.
