Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
If you’re not careful, your fear of failure can lead to self-sabotage, Aquarius. This week is likely to come with its frustrations, but they are not meant to ruin your life. Consider recalibrating your attitudes and approaches; you may not need a dramatic change as much as an adjustment to your pace. The biggest risk you’re facing is sabotaging yourself in reaction to your emotions. Slow and steady wins the race, my love.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, you’re right on track, Pisces. This week, it’s time for you to pivot in efforts to feel better so you can be better. Simplify your approach and your actions wherever you can. Identify and let go of the things that are out of your control—even if only for an hour or so—and give yourself permission to be present with only the task at hand. The present is a gift, and the more you treat it like one, the more resources you’ll have.

Aries
March 21-April 19
There’s often a fine line between inspiration and chaos. While you may be itching to get things moving, you’re also not exactly ready to make any commitments. Take time this week to explore your strategy and to make sure that it’s sustainable for you. You alone are on the hook for what you say and do, Aries. Make sure that you mean what you say so that you can make good on your word.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Strive to know the difference between the insecurities you feel when trying something new, and your instincts telling you that you’ve gone in the wrong direction. It’s wise to listen to your inner voice, Taurus. It’s a practice that you don’t have to get perfect, but you would be wise to take on. While your circumstances or the people around you may be impatient for you to get going, something inside of you may be saying to slow down. Trust your gut, my love.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
This is a great time for starting something new, but it’s wise to start small. Whatever it is that you endeavor to do this week, make sure that it reflects the changes that you’ve been struggling to embody. Your eyes are often bigger than your belly—you take on more than you can handle at a time. Explore your options before making a move, and when you mobilize, take your sweet time.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
You may find yourself motivated to make big changes this week and while your insights and ideas are good, it’s important to check your energy reserves before you go barreling forward. This week, you may find yourself struggling with feelings of exhaustion, or simply feeling depleted. Take your time to approach your goals and ambitions, one bite-sized piece at a time. You don’t need it right away, you just need it to be right for you, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
When you’re feeling defensive, it’s really hard to come from a place of empathy. Be honest enough to look at your motivations, Leo. If you are, first and foremost, seeking to prove yourself, you’re unlikely to be in the most honest frame of mind. Seek the truth instead of proof. Strive to be the person you want to be, instead of living up to your perceptions of other people's expectations.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You cannot control fate, other people and about 100 million other things, Virgo. What you can control is yourself. Which of your desires you choose to centre, your commitments you choose to follow through on and how you engage with your mixed emotions along the way—that’s all in your grasp. Stay aligned with your agency, especially when you feel you have none, this week. You don’t need to be perfect, just strive to do your best moment by moment.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
“What you resist shall persist.” This week, it’s essential that you have healthy boundaries in the face of what is difficult for you to bear. If all that you do is shut down or try to flee what is uncomfortable, you’ll find that you’re compounding your own problems. You have the right to identify your needs and limits, and it’s on you to hold that line, even if it makes others uncomfortable. Avoidance won’t serve you or your relationships, Libra.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Taking on others’ stress isn’t a show of devotion or solidarity—it’s an unfortunate result of weak boundaries. Take the time you need to get present with yourself before you try to fix things with others or you may end up contributing to the chaos you’re trying to relieve. Your instincts may be right, but that doesn’t mean that your ideas about what to do with them are, too. Give yourself the room you need to consider the steps in front of you, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Things don’t need to be perfect in order for them to be right. Look at your struggles and your troubles today and explore what you have to learn from them. Allow your setbacks to motivate you to greater heights. Allow injustice to motivate you to acts of greater empathy and kindness. Allow your problems to inspire you to seek solutions. Just don’t give up, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Your progress will be helped, not hindered, by reflection and introspection. Take the time you need to get present so you can properly hear what your gut instincts are telling you. You’re in the throes of a pattern that has worked its way through your life before, Capricorn. Don’t allow the details to distract you from the big picture of what you’re being called to do. Focus your attention on your role and let others manage their own selves.
