Taurus
April 20-May 20
Tighten your boundaries, open your heart and trust your gut instincts. As you get clearer about what you want and need, you're more likely to be able to create it. This is a fertile time for cultivating your vision for the not-so-distant future, Taurus. Strive to really listen to your feelings so that you can wisely factor them into your relationships, your projects or whatever else you’re working on. Dare to infuse joy and love into your life this week. .

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Corrie Ten Boom wrote “Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength—carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” The reality is that your worry doesn’t keep you safe, any more than it is sound. Prioritize making small but meaningful adjustments that support your mental health this week. There is no better moment like this present one, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
You are entitled to any and all of your feelings but if you don’t find a more sustainable way to process them you’ll hurt no one more than yourself. Pettiness, negativity, anger—no one wants to experience those feelings, but when they come up it's important that you strive to understand what’s motivating them before you shut them down or act out. Be willing to slow down and look inside before you rush to create answers this week, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
If you waste time struggling against things as they are, you’ll find that you feel pretty awful and get nothing achieved. This week it's time to face facts, but chief amongst them is how you really feel. Stop waiting for others to magically become who you want them to be or to want what you want. Let go of your agenda and get present with what is. You need balance, and that comes from, at least in part, acknowledging where things are at, and where they're not.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
When you’re overwhelmed and haven’t been able to take care of your emotional needs, everything can feel like too much. This week may bring up some confusing relationship issues, but it's not for nothing. Centre yourself for a moment, my overthinking friend; how have you been behaving, and what has your behaviour communicated to others? Make sure that your intention and your actions match and if they don’t, step in and clarify yourself to the people you care about.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
As the most social Sun sign of the zodiac, an ongoing period of isolation or social setbacks is especially hard on you. Treat your sadness with the same kindness that you would offer any cherished friend. Support yourself with the same patience that you would show to anyone else, dear Libra, even if you would rather keep things light. Your capacity for tolerating your own more challenging emotions is deepening, but you have to expand to meet it, my love.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
This week the resounding question is: what kind of fear is it? There is value in fear when it helps you recognize danger and adequately prepare for it. And then there’s the kind of fear that fixates on what you can’t control, obsessive fear, and of course, depressive or hopeless fear. These feelings tell you that they're trying to keep you safe, but they're not. Focus yourself on what is constructive, and seek support or healthy distractions with what isn’t, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Having hope is a beautiful thing, but being realistic is, too. Look at your coping tools this week. If you're self-medicating (with drugs, shopping, TV, etc.) in efforts to keep things positive, it's not worth it—or sustainable. Find ways of being present with your difficult emotions. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are deeply important. Support yourself through your inner landscape even if that means acknowledging where you're scared or hurting, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
It’s wise to be a bit self-protective this week, Capricorn. you can expect that the people around you will be in a stressful state and that they may either be (unwittingly) taking it out on you, or just acting weird in your presence. In either case, you shouldn’t take things personally, but you don’t need to take them on, either. Pay attention to how others are treating you and take responsibility for how you respond; you don’t need to keep the peace at your own expense.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
It’s change or be changed, Aquarius. As people and situations around you are shifting, you’ve got to adjust yourself, your position or your attitudes. This is an important time to remember that you need other people, even if they’re annoying or unpredictable in a not-fun way. Show up for the uncomfortable bits of your relationships so that you can help shape the resolutions they need. Collaborate in efforts to co-create unity this week.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Slow down and get present, Pisces. This week is likely to reveal a truth to you that you suspected deep-down, but didn’t have confirmation for. What you do next is on you, so be on the lookout for self-fulfilling prophecies or any narrative that you tell yourself that suggests that you don’t have any options. You do. Be strong and vulnerable enough to sit with your feelings and investigate where and how you can rise to the occasion, my sweet love.

Aries
March 21-April 19
There is so much that you can’t know, and even more that is out of control, even if you did know. Life is like that. Instead of fixating on what you can’t do anything about, explore what you value—and how your actions and even your attitudes and thoughts reflect that value. What you feed will grow, Aries. Be willing to cut back or beef up your focus to better reflect what you care most about. Honour what you’re grateful for this week.
