Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
It doesn’t matter what other people think about you Capricorn, what matters is how you feel about yourself. This week, it’s time for you to cultivate greater ownership of your feelings so that you can act with integrity from that place. Be brave enough to explore your emotional landscape and to honour whatever you discover. As your relationship with yourself blossoms, so too will your relationship with others.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
In order to get to the other side of many of life’s difficulties, you must first go through them. How you cope with delays, frustrations and disappointments is likely to either make things much easier or much worse for you this week. Don’t lose track of who you are and what you value in the face of upsets, or you’ll create further complications for yourself and your relationships. Honour your truth, whether it’s easy or not, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Your capacity to feel vulnerability is in many ways your superpower, Pisces. While the other signs of the zodiac may be anxious to figure things out, or make them material, you are good at staying with the unknown and exploring possibilities from there. Flow doesn’t take certainty or assurances, only your participation. Lean into your ability to have equilibrium within yourself and your situation, even when things are uncertain.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You may find yourself in a relationship dynamic that is pretty upsetting to you this week. You can respond in the ways you have before or you can learn from your past. Strive to find ways of communicating your boundaries that aren’t defensive or destructive. Consider not only being forthright, but also being considerate. Make sure that your message is communicated in a way that others can hear.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
What exists for you at this time is not necessarily permanent. This week, it’s wise to work on your attachment to things and feelings, Taurus. You may find yourself feeling sad, which isn’t fun, but it’s also not the worst thing in the world. If you become too attached to your feelings they will likely balloon into something much bigger than they originally were or need to be. Dig deep so you can be present in this moment without linking it to the future.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
You may want things to move a lot quicker than they are, but what you want isn’t always what you need, Twin Star. This week, it’s wise for you to adjust your relationship to how you engage with your own impulses. Your capacity to stay present when things get uncomfortable or uncertain is being tested, and you can emerge the better for it. The key is to cultivate balance in how you sit with yourself, and allow your perspective to follow suit from there.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, the best you can do for yourself and the people you’re closest to is take a restorative time out. Invest or reinvest in the self-care practices that you know do you the most good, Moonchild. Integrate the habits that keep you thriving into your daily practices. How you take care of your feelings is foundational to how you manage your life.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Octavia Butler said it best when she wrote: "All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change.” This week, you’re on call to withstand the stress that change can bring about without taking it personally and getting defensive. Your relationship to the unknown is an uncomfortable one, and how you feel now is likely to impact your relationships pretty heavily this week. Strive to have firm and flexible boundaries that protect what you love, leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You may find yourself having to make some difficult decisions, but the truth is, it’s rare that you can please everyone. Strive to have a big picture perspective this week, Virgo. You’ve got to honour what is true for you, but it’s wise to do that in a way that serves your long-term needs, not just your feelings of frustration in this moment. Move through your issues lightly and employ balance in your approach and attitudes.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You have changed, Libra, and it’s on you to decide what that will mean for your life. You may feel the drive to embody all the changes that you know to be authentic to you, but circumstances, either internal or external, conspire to slow you down. If you’re going to compromise, do so in ways that don’t compromise who you are and what you believe in. There’s nothing wrong with changes showing up incrementally. Give yourself latitude in your process.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
The energy of this week is likely to get to you, Scorpio. As stressful as things may feel, it is how you choose to respond to your feelings that will ultimately define you. Strive to have compassion, empathy and patience with yourself and others as you work through the highs and lows of this period. What other people think of you is important, but not as important as what you think of yourself. Real change begins within, my love.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You don’t need things to be perfect in order to do what’s right. You are likely to be confronted with scenarios that force you to look within and rely upon yourself. The good news is that you have worked hard in recent months to cultivate your instincts. This is the time to trust them. If I were in the market of handing out mantras this week, yours would be this: every light has its shadow; don’t fear it, my love.
