Your ability to perceive the situation clearly isn’t shared by everyone, as annoying as that may be. No matter what you do, this week you’re likely to have to compromise—as much as it may pain you to do so. It’s important you don’t do things that you know you’ll resent, or that compromise on what you think is right. In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, “To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.”

This is one of those times in life when there are no real answers. Seek the truth, prioritize kindness and be patient. You need to leave room for you to feel whatever you’re feeling, even if that means you’re a bit hot and cold this week. You will have a much easier time of it if you can remember how much is out of your control, and choose to focus on what you can influence. Do what you can to manage your inner world so that you better manage your circumstances, my love.

You have to make some decisions, Twin Star, but this is not the time to be distracted by the details. Look at the big picture of what you can and can’t do in a sustainable way, and let that inform your actions. It’s important that you maintain your energy, and that requires you to tenderly and honestly tend to your emotional wellness. Invest in pathways that support you in the long term this week, even if it makes things a bit uncomfortable in the short term.

Pace yourself, Moonchild. If you run yourself ragged you’ll find that it’s extra hard to pick yourself back up. This week you will be confronted by some of your inner stumbling blocks. Just make sure that you only give what you can so that you can sustain your efforts. Get grounded before you get going so that you can cultivate your perspective and act from that place.

How do you find balance when you’re caught up in a storm? It’s time to seek shelter and recalibrate from there. This week will be much easier to bear if you give yourself permission to slow down and to receive the help that is available to you, Leo. You don’t have to go it all alone, even in these days of social distancing. Prioritize nourishing yourself and others through the simple act of connecting, heart to heart.

Don’t let your fears run you ragged. You have a great deal to do, but it’s important that you take lots of breaks this week, too. You won’t be of much help to anyone if you burn yourself out. You may feel stuck and like you can’t slow down or let go for even a moment, but that isn’t true. Carve out as much time as you can to just unplug, Virgo. All you have to get through is this moment, and you can absolutely do that, one step at a time.

Abandoning yourself when you're scared is a betrayal of your own self, Libra. It’s unrealistic to function at your regular pace when there’s this much turmoil in the world. Your energy is likely to come in fits and spurts this week and the best thing you can do for yourself is slow down and get present—even if that means feeling some unpleasant feelings. Giving yourself permission to be off is a reasonable step towards getting back on, my social friend.

Letting go doesn’t mean not caring. Moving on doesn’t require disregard. Find the forward momentum in even the most frightening or stuck parts of your life this week, Scorpio. Make room for the inevitability of the mixed, and often wild, emotions you’re feeling; it’s okay to be all over the place. Just don’t take your overwhelming feelings and project it onto your relationships, your world view, or your work. Stay in the present and do your best right here, right now.

The word that kept coming up in the creation of this week’s horoscope for you was pivot. Things are changing quickly and in ways you couldn’t have predicted. In the words of Jay Samit, “Pivoting is not the end of the disruption process, but the beginning of the next leg of your journey.” So much of what comes next is out of your control, but your attitude, your energy, your vision and your willingness to be a part of the solution is all you, Sagittarius.

You need a project, Capricorn. Your nature is to cope with upsets by doing something, and if you feel out of control or helpless, you’re bound for Trouble Town. Create finite, achievable tasks for yourself that reinforce your sense of agency. Running ideas on a loop or trying to figure things out in a frenzied way won’t empower you with solutions any more than it promotes peace of mind. Calm your heart by busying your hands this week.

Responsibility is just seizing your ability to respond, Aquarius. The trick is to choose to centre your responses around what you believe in, instead of only around what you fear. Think of things in three stages; acceptance of wherever you are, and what resources you have here. The next step is to get in alignment with your integrity and values. The third step is to identify your next possible steps. Keep it simple and leave room for the ebb and flow of your emotions this week.

Shunryu Suzuki wrote “Each existence depends on something else... there are no separate individual existences. There are just many names for one existence.” We’re interconnected—in our joy, our excellence, our pain and our failures. The feelings that you’re feeling now are not just yours; they’re all of ours. You don’t need to hold it all, Pisces. Activate from your spiritual centre. You are not alone; you are made of light. Don’t forget it in your darkest hours.
