Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
There’s a fine line between being empathetic and codependent, Sagittarius. This week, other people’s feelings and needs are important information for you to consider but that doesn’t mean that you need to take them on as your own. Don’t abandon yourself in your efforts to show up for others. Strive to embrace difference, even when that means accepting what you can’t understand or what you don’t like in the people and situations that you love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
When you look sideways, you lose resiliency. Here’s some tricky homework for you this week; establish boundaries that are informed by your fears, without making them fear-based. This will require that you have both empathy and patience with yourself, Capricorn. Life is not a competition, and you aren’t on any timeline but your own. Embrace wherever you’re at so that you can take care of your life in more appropriate, and therefore more impactful, ways.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Other people’s impatience may create a fair amount of distraction and anxiety for you this week if you’re not careful. Strive to have boundaries that are informed by self-acceptance and an honest appraisal of where you’re at. You have a right to take your time so that you can approach whatever it is that means the most to you with the care and consideration that it deserves. Treat your progress tenderly, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
When people talk about spiritual healing, it can sound like a gentle spring or a graceful process, when it usually feels more like you’re losing your grip and falling headfirst into the unknown. Don’t resist your transformation, even if it’s uncomfortable, Pisces. Just because you’re undergoing growing pains doesn’t mean that you’re pointed in the wrong direction. Embrace the discomfort of healing, even when it totally sucks, my sensitive friend.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You may be feeling overwhelmed, like you’ve taken on more than you know how to handle. The way out of this mess is not the same way that you got into it, Aries. Avoid the impulse to jump to conclusions or rush for fixes this week. You need creative solutions that will only come from a new perspective. Allow yourself the space you need to figure out how you feel about where you’re at, and to determine the best way forward from here.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
If you can prioritize finding honest and empathetic ways of coping with your fears, not only will it save time, but it will be highly effective. There’s nothing practical or pragmatic about expecting the worst from life, Taurus. When things don’t go as you expect or as you want them to, there might be something in the bigger picture that you’re not able to see quite yet. Cultivate flexibility and curiosity in the face of difficult feelings this week.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
You’re likely to be of many minds for an exciting change of pace this week, Twin Star. On the one hand, you know you need time and space in order to determine what’s right for you. On the other hand, you’re totally impatient and ready to just pull the ripcord—anything to get things moving. Change on its own is not the answer. Be brave enough to do the emotional work needed to make real improvements in yourself and your life, no matter how awkward the transition may be.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
This week is likely to find you searching for some ever-elusive balance, so don’t let your ego get in the way. You’re likely to find yourself stuck between pathways that are very different, but it will be hard to interpret which is which. Meeting others in the middle can compromise you if the middle is too far away from your centre. Get out of your comfort zone to bend and grow into what you’re meant to be without deserting yourself, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
If you get too caught up in your head you’ll find that you overlook your blessings and tie yourself up in the process. When you feel sad or upset by something, just be with those feelings. You don’t need to know exactly what’s happening in order to honour your feelings. Ease up on the pressure that you’ve been placing on yourself and have confidence in your ability to adapt as things unfold, Leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Asserting boundaries is difficult. Not only do you need to tell others where your limits lie, but you need to know that tender information for yourself. Once you figure out your needs, you’ve got to believe in yourself enough to take the risk of communicating them. It can feel risky at best, alienating at worst. Don’t let self-care be conditional to what you think others want from you, Virgo. Centre your needs this eclipse season.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You are on the precipice of something new and it will require that you show up in different ways than you have in the past. But what you don’t know yet—which may be causing you some stress—is what will come out of it. Take risks to make your relationships more authentic to who you are this week, even if it catapults you into the unknown. Your relationships shouldn’t be a relic of who you once were, Libra.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. This is a powerful time for giving yourself the space to assess what you can take on in a healthy way, Scorpio. While there is a great deal that you can do at this moment, it would be wise to conserve your energy and honour the big emotions that you’re likely to be feeling this week. Your emotions are not an inconvenience; they’re foundational parts of your wisdom and key to your wellness, my love.
