Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Patience is not a virtue that comes naturally to most Aquarians, but it’s one you’d do well to cultivate this week, my forward-leaning friend. Every moment is the future realizing itself and also the foundation for whatever comes next. Instead of fixating on what has not yet materialized, devote your attention to what is, in the here and now—even if it’s awkward or uncomfortable. Keep on affirming and reaffirming that you are acting in accordance with your ethics and you can’t go wrong.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Your keyword for this week is consideration. Find ways of making decisions that reflect your inner thoughts in relation to the impacts of your actions (or inactions). How you do whatever it is that you do is going to have a meaningful influence on your life, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Consider the wisdom of your compromises, the weight of your commitments and the path in front of you. Make use of your choices by considering the implications of them while there’s wiggle room in your life.

Aries
March 21-April 19
As things change, you’re bound to be confronted by the threat or reality of loss—and it’s not fun. Take the time you need to ground yourself before you get going, Aries. If you allow yourself to act in defensive or overly self-protective ways, you’ll succeed in alienating yourself when you’re actually trying to reach out and connect with others. Be here for your complicated feelings, even if that slows down your trajectory this week, dear one.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Not all things that make you sad are bad for you, and not everything that gives you pleasure will improve your life. Finding ways to relate to your emotions that are spacious enough to help you make good decisions is in your best interest this week. Strive to be honest with yourself about where you're at, even if it’s complicated. You may be in unchartered territory as you move towards breaking old patterns of relating to your feelings and the people you’re close to.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
The truth is multi-pronged, but watering it down or complicating it doesn’t do anything to honour that. Find ways of engaging with what you know. And hold space for contradictions and paradoxes—without losing the thread, Twin Star. You’ve got to change the way you approach your position, and in doing so, streamline the way you hold and express your reality. This week is all about embodying the clearest expression of your truth.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
It’s important to give yourself permission to stand up for yourself, but there will always be consequences for your actions. As you assert yourself, be mindful of your tone and approach to others, Moonchild. Your sensitivities sometimes make you so permeable that you feel your consideration of others is a given—but for them it may not be. Strive to move slowly enough that you can track how your impact is being received, so you can adjust as needed.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
You can’t have all the information you need this week, but that in and of itself is information. Sit with your feelings, even as your mind is reeling. Your emotions are their own form of data, but not the most literal form. Explore your inner workings to better understand what you’re attracted to, and what may be repelling you. If you can put off major decisions this week that would be ideal; explore the vulnerable contents of your heart with care, Leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Other people will have their opinions and their preferences, but it's on you to determine what’s right for you, Virgo. Take a step back from your situations and try to evaluate them. Consider your position, your actions and the things you can’t yet know the answers to. You don’t need answers (as much as you’d like them!) this week; what you need is insight. Prioritize introspection over analysis and the solutions you crave will emerge gracefully, my love.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Don’t drag your past into your present, Libra. You’re likely to be feeling exhausted and overwhelmed about now, and you need a break. Instead of trying to figure things out, give yourself permission to let them go for a little while. Allow space for your surprises to come into your life and for situations to play out a bit. You need perspective but it’s hard to achieve when you’re obsessing over the past, or trying to rush past uncertainties, my love. Try a little patience this week.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
The more you have, the more you’ve got to lose. This week is a powerful one to consider the relationship you have between scarcity and abundance, fear and desire. As you expand or grow in ways that are meaningful to you, so may your anxieties grow too. It’s time to make some decisions about how you're going to cope with your mixed feelings and to commit them to a plan. Consider follow-through to be an act of self-care, and giddy-up, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Don’t add anything new to your plate, especially in the first half of the week, Sagittarius. If you can take the time you need to sit with all the mixed feelings and facts that you have, you’ll be able to find the peace within you that you seek. You have some choices to make that are more than a little tricky; make compromises that don’t compromise you and trust your gut instincts. You're on the verge of something meaningful and you don’t need to get it quickly, you only need to get it right.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You don’t need to know what comes next to do what’s right in the here and now. This may be a tricky time for you, as you’re being confronted with what you don’t know and what you can’t control—and the runaway train of thoughts this can inspire. There’s no need to assume the worst and there’s no wisdom on investing in your fears, Capricorn. Follow your most optimistic impulses this week as you invest in your hopes, despite your fears.
