Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The full moon in your relationship house on the 11th may kick up frustrations, but they’re a call to action. There is something in your life—maybe a relationship or a habit—and you’ve been struggling against it as if you have no choice in the matter. You always have a choice, Sagittarius. There is no rush. Have a seat and breathe. Look around you and consider your situation, especially what’s sitting right in front of you, my love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Letting go of control is no Capricorn’s forte, but it’s a skill worth cultivating, my love. Strive to be present and attentive without directing where things go, or how, this week. If you can be aware of your fears without feeding them you’ll be prepared to go with the flow, with your eyes wide open. Explore the differences between care and micromanaging, investment and control. The former promotes flow while the latter tries to tame it.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
When you move too quickly you not only risk missing out on some key details, but also on making other people feel like you're not including them in your process. Maintain a big picture view this week, Aquarius. You're not going to get very far if you isolate yourself, even if you currently feel like people are more trouble than they’re worth. Slow down and find ways of taking care of yourself that don’t ultimately come at your own expense.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
There’s no way of sidestepping the hard parts of growth. This week you’re likely to feel like you’re being dragged around by other people’s mixed messages, your emotions, or the dreaded mix of the two by trying to second guess what others feel (or might feel in the future). All you have is this moment to manage, Pisces. Simplify your approach to your situation so you can see the trees for the forest. In doing this, you can bring your best self forward in all you do.

Aries
March 21-April 19
As you grow, it’s inevitable that you outgrow some things. Even as you outgrow unhealthy habits, or participating in unhappy dynamics, you’re likely to feel growing pains—it’s a part of any transformation. Greet your uncertainties and discomfort with warmth this week. You can play your old part—but you really don’t have to. Be the Aries you know you can be, step by step and new-and-improved choice by choice, my love.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
If you are assertive, people may not like it. If you don’t speak your mind, people may not like it. The point is that you can’t guess how people will feel and orient your actions around that—it’s not wise, even if it were possible to do competently. Focus on clarifying what’s true for you, Taurus. It’s time for you to work through your fear of what will happen when you're direct about your needs. Make sure that your words and actions reflect your truth this week.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
The full moon in your sign on the 11th is a powerful call for you to get real, Twin Star. If you’re willing to confront your fears you can transform them into wisdom. Your instincts are good, but when you indulge in knee-jerk reactions to your worries they obscure your intuition and throw you off course. Investigate with interest instead of react with speed. Honour your feelings without proving anything to anybody. Your growth is yours to embrace, wild one.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
If you don’t trust a person, don’t place your heart in their hands, Moonchild. This isn’t the time to give the people who’ve wronged you second chances if those chances come at your own expense. This week it’s important that you get grounded and look at the evidence in front of you instead of focusing on the potential that you hope to see in a dynamic. And as always, if you don’t like the game, it’s on you to not play.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Relationships are tender and valuable and super high maintenance at times. This week’s astrology is likely to kick up some internal drama for many people, which means that you’re likely going to have to deal with confusing dynamics with others. Don’t lose energy trying to divine what’s going on with the people you're close to—if you have a question, just ask it. Games will backfire on your this week, so best to keep your side of the road clean, dear Leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This week circumstances (either internal or external) are pushing you to let go. The problem is that it may not be clear what needs to go, or how. The key is to start from where you are—do you need to let go of your attachment to getting it right? Might you need to let go of the idea that you need proof, or that things need to go a certain way in order for them to be okay? Start with acceptance and reconfigure from there. Go within to get free, Virgo.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
As disappointing as it may be, sometimes figuring out what isn’t working is the best thing that can happen for you. When you know where things are at, you can finally move up, move on, or move in. This isn’t a good time to avoid data out of fear of what you might learn. Seek the truth and have confidence in your ability to greet it with strength and honour. You’re ready for so much more, Libra, and it all starts with confronting a fear this week.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
How you shield yourself from other people’s energies is a tricky thing. It’s important to be present for others, but being present doesn’t mean that you have to take their issues, or worse, their feelings on. You don’t need to hold onto other people’s baggage as a show of loyalty—all you need to do is show them compassion and honesty. Don’t look for a fix when what you need is finesse.
