Cancer
June 22-July 22
You don’t need an excuse to be emotional, and you don’t need to defend your feelings, Moonchild. There are more than enough reasons to feel heavy hearted these days, and the worst thing you can do right now is scramble to come up with excuses or reasons for your feelings. Nurture what feels bereft, sit with what has no answers, and honour where you’re at. You don’t need a quick fix; you only need a healthy and sustainable approach this week.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
It’s time for you to make some decisions, Leo. No matter how pressing your situation feels, if it’s important to you, it deserves your consideration. Look within to locate what is true and real for you this week, especially if you have to make commitments to others in the near future. Your next moves should reflect not only your desires, but also the changes you’ve recently gone through. Embrace the person you're becoming, even if that means leaving old parts of yourself behind.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
As the saying goes, action is the antidote to anxiety. This week you're likely to be caught up in a mental web of your own making, and it’s good for no one. Instead of trying to figure your way out of your situation, actively do something about it, Virgo. It’s time to do something—even very small things—to move your situation forward, even if you are plagued by indecision and a long list of what-ifs. Mobilize based on your priorities, and your momentum will help with perspective, I promise.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week is one of those times when you have to consider what’s right for you, even if it’s in contrast with what others want. You and the people close to you might be going through growing pains, and it’s in your best interest to centre what’s real and not be so quick to smooth it all out. Allow for the ebb and flow of honest connection, even when it’s uncomfortable and you don’t know where it’s taking you, dearest Libra.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
People are likely to be acting out this week, and what you must determine is not what’s motivating them (because can you really ever know that?), but instead what’s right for you to do about it. Try not to get so wrapped up in suspicion that you lose sight of what you’re bringing to the table. Fear and defensiveness will be your undoing if you let it be, Scorpio. Do what you need to, to approach your relationships and your emotions with grounded patience.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You have enough information to make sense of your situation, but not enough to know what to do next. This week is likely to find your mind swirling, with your anxieties loud and clear. What you say will have lasting impact on others and your life—so choose your words carefully, Sagittarius. Finding your voice doesn’t necessarily mean using it; allow yourself the space to sit with your truth before you put it and yourself out there.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Control is an illusion. You can’t know what’s coming next, you can’t reliably make others feel or do anything, and you are not responsible for everything. Explore the stress that perfectionism is causing you, and the emotions that are motivating you to demand it of yourself and others. All you can do is your best—and that may often fall short of your ideals. Strive to let go of your attachment to outcome and focus on the process, Capricorn.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
This isn’t the time to create security in your life, Aquarius. You’re in a dynamic state of growth and it’s requiring you to change in big ways, but not all at once. Sit in your discomfort this week, especially if you would rather act out or bolt. The things that you want to change or control have something to teach you about yourself, if you’re willing to listen. Get some perspective by getting grounded and investigative before you get going, my love.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
If something hurts, care for it—don’t leave it in the dust, Pisces. You’re likely to be dealing with some really big feels this week. Whether you’re coping with general stress from the world at large, something within you, or you’re enmeshed in an uncomfortable interpersonal dynamic, take the same approach: be a kind and supportive friend. In the face of upsets, nurture yourself and your situation with that patented compassion that your sign is so well known for.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Mars is in your sign for the rest of 2020 and it’s likely to feel energizing, irritating and activating. This is a wise time to sit with your restlessness and even most passionate feelings before you act on them, Aries. While you’re technically capable of taking on more at this time, it’s not necessarily wise. Organize your priorities to include self-care so that you act from a place of self-knowledge and not in reaction to the uncomfortable bits of your emotional landscape.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Regardless of what others expect of you, you're allowed to have off days, to need rest, or to just falter, my steady friend. This week is likely to overwhelm you with stress, but don’t let that rob you of your resiliency. Find ways of centring your wellness so that you can respond to whatever life throws at you with integrity and grace. You don’t need to do it all at once or do it perfectly; you just need to do your best, Taurus.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Your ruts will have a corrosive impact on your mental state if you’re not careful, Twin Star. It’s time to finally let go. You’ve already recognized attachments that aren’t serving you. It’s not enough to identify your problems though; you have to be willing to do something about them, and to have those actions come from the inside out. Take as much time as you need to make final changes, but move away from what you’ve outgrown.
