Your weekly horoscope: March 22 - 28, 2017

Aries

March 21 – April 19

This is your moment, Aries. Get real about what you want because what you’ve been telling yourself is not quite cutting it. It’s really important for you to uncover the role that fear plays in your decision-making because when it gets triggered, you get defensive, and that’s no fun for anyone. Make a choice and commit to a course of action because it feels really right for you — not just because you’re scared of the alternative. If anyone can live the dream, you can.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

This week is going to take the stuff you’ve been percolating on since Venus went intro retrograde on the 4^th, and it’s going to force you to confront it. This is an excellent time for deep self-help work, reconnecting with your Dear Diary, or simply hashing things out with a friend. You’re going through it, Taurus, but you kinda need to — the stuff that you’ve been doing that isn’t true for you is taking its toll. Make sure that your compromises aren’t compromising you, my love.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21
The past is meant to be a guide, but not a literal one — you can learn from it without having to repeat it. This week’s energy blast will be wasted if you don’t spring into action, Twin Star. You’re on call to research, connect and move forward. Your ruling planet is challenging you to grow past your limitations and create the future you most want for yourself. Your challenge is to move beyond the old stories that you have about what’s possible. You’ve got this!

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

If you don’t know what you want from life, this is your time to connect the dots and figure it out. This week will bring you bolts of inspiration, but it’s on you to take some risks and act on your insights. When people upset you, your best move is to investigate what your reaction says about you, first and foremost. Don’t let your fears inhibit you from expanding past this point. The only true failure for you to avoid is the failure to learn from your experiences.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

It’s time to put your money where your mouth is, Leo. You can talk a big game, but when push comes to shove, what do you really do? Now’s the time to embody your attitudes with honesty or to change them altogether. Both of these options take courage — which you have plenty of — you just need to decide if you’re willing to use it. Don’t jump to conclusions. Even if it seems like you have all the data, you probably don’t. Take into account the big picture this week.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

You’re ready, Virgo. You’ve been struggling to get to the place where you can move on, and this is it. Instead of asking others to change, you’re ready to be the change you need to see in your life. This doesn’t mean you have to remain in subpar situations, but that you’re ready to accept things as they really are and act based on that wisdom. You can make lemonade out of your lemons if you want, or you can leave the whole sour mess behind you and seek out other fruit — the choice was always yours.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Be on the lookout for your relationships to bring up exactly what you need (but maybe don’t want) to deal with. This week will reveal secrets, trigger fights and offer opportunities for reconciliation. The mystery is only how you’ll handle it, Libra. When things hit the fan, you can frantically keep the peace, or you can step up and be true to yourself. Strive to put authenticity in front of diplomacy, even if it’s scary. You’ve got this, my love.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Don’t put off your work or let ego-based conflicts distract you from your goals. This week you can knock it out of the park, but you have to remember what you came here for. Petty disputes and defensive behavior will make the very things you’re trying to resist come to bear, so breathe through your stresses, Scorpio. You don’t need to prove your power to anyone, my love. Show up and be your best self, even when other people are acting like jerks.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

You deserve to be free and unencumbered by BS, but it just isn’t always possible. This week may bring some chaotic action your way, so get ready to cope. You’re not meant to throw in the towel or pick a fight, no matter how tempting either of those things may be. Invest in your relationships by not participating when you feel too crazy to do it in a healthy way. But don’t ghost on people either — clearly communicate what you can or can’t offer until you can show all the way up.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

If you try to pull passive-aggressive stuff on people this week, it will backfire fantastically, Cappy. You’re being called to balance the truth with diplomacy in a way that neither waters it down nor alienates the person you’re dealing with. This isn’t easy, but it isn’t complicated either. Don’t blame others for what you choose to participate in, no matter how tempted you are or how culpable they seem. Pick your fights wisely, my friend.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

It’s easy to get caught up in other people’s dramas when you’re on the edge yourself. This week your self-care needs to be on point so that you don’t act out when someone else is acting out. It may seem like they’re being a jerk, but they probably need your help. Have patience for other people’s process, even if they’re moving way slower than you wish they were. As an added bonus, you may find that a more chill pace leaves space for you to actually feel better — try it!

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

It’s OK to be self-protective when you’re not sure what you need or where you stand. This week is going to bring up all the feels, but there’s a big-picture reason why that’s happening: it’s time to ask for help. Know who your allies are and who you can turn to for support, and let them help a Pisces out. You’re on the path to success and about to bust through some limitations, and it will be so much sweeter if you have people close by to share it with.
