Taurus
April 20-May 20
The energy may be wonky as your ruling planet, Venus, is retrograde until June 25th. Make sure that you’re not impulsively reacting to things that would benefit from a more centred response, Taurus. You’re ready to make some meaningful changes, but it will be harder to do this from a defensive place; practice getting centered before you get going this week. Strive to act from a grounded place so that you approach your situations with the energy they deserve.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
There’s a new moon in your sign on the 23rd, and it can be a time of new beginnings and openings for you, but it’s not an unqualified blessing. This new moon is likely to kick up some anxiety and uncertainty. It’s not happening to upset you, but instead to provoke you to develop better, more streamlined coping tools for overwhelming situations. Get centred and present in this moment even if it's uncomfortable and mobilize from there, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
If you're feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone, Moonchild. You’re likely to be at the end of your rope or overburdened this week, and it’s no fun. If you can take the time and space you need to determine your best next step, then that’s all you need. You don’t need to figure out all of the details or to predict what comes next. Just put one foot in front of the other so that you’re effective in managing and coping with the here and now.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Negative obsessions are like praying at the altar of what you don’t want. This is a time when you will benefit from cultivating and utilizing healthy boundaries within your mind and heart, Leo. This may look like needing to meditate, taking more walks, or just prioritizing laughter throughout your days. If your thoughts aren’t constructive, they’re a waste of your precious energies. Strive to keep it constructive this week, my fiery friend.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Letting go of control can be very complicated, or totally simple, and the difference is often in your perspective. If you can be brave enough to follow your heart, you won’t need for everything you do to be successful, or to be good at everything all the time. As you release your attachment to perfectionism you can find a new kind of excellence—the kind that comes from being on the right path, as it winds you along the scenic route to your destination.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should, Libra. This week it’s okay to be a bit protective of your energies as you figure out what you can manage in a healthy way emotionally. Consider your boundaries by first centring your internal experience, your most common behaviours and finally your situation. This is a time when old coping patterns are likely to pop back up; strive to greet them with self-awareness so that you can change the parts that no longer serve you.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Sometimes stress can actually help motivate you, clarify what’s important, or even be a sign that your efforts are working. This week, however, the stress you’re feeling is just stress. Focus your efforts on managing your feelings instead of digging to the roots of them. It’s okay to sometimes say that the sky is blue because it’s blue and move on! Look for support and inner stability before you look for explanations, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The new moon in your relationship house is likely to stir things up. If you find that your relationships are in a state of flux, don’t rush to find solutions this week. Strive to explore your reactions and the ego drives that are motivating them. This is one of those times that you can make deep and meaningful changes, but not without some effort. Understand your own patterns and you can make more sustainable adjustments, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
It doesn’t matter how smart you are, you can’t reason yourself out of your feelings. If you’ve been feeling stressed or stuck, it’s time to get out of your head and to take some action. Mobilize instead of overanalyze, Capricorn! You may need to better clarify your goals or the resources you have to support you on your path, but small steps forward are still steps forward. As the saying goes, ‘action is the antidote to anxiety’; get moving this week.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Seek new approaches to old problems, Aquarius. There is a sweet spot between accountability and autonomy, your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to find it. Not all compromises compromise you, and not all indulgences make your life more enjoyable. This is a powerful time for you to look at your habits around self-indulgence and responsibility, and to seek the truth of where you're at, and make sure that it’s where you need to be.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Your fears are just that: they’re not what’s happening, they’re what you think could happen. This week you're in a good position to explore your fears dispassionately. This doesn’t mean that you won’t feel them at all, but that you can explore their content without identifying too much, or getting too wrapped up in them. It’s time to be the change that you want to see in your life, Pisces. Get present and practice embodying the peace you strive to feel in the here and now.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You’re allowing yourself too much time concerning yourself with what others are thinking or feeling about you. If you have a question, ask, and if you're concerned about something, it's okay to say something. This week you don’t need to suck things up, but you’ll do best if you manage your approach. Being kind won’t slow you down and doesn’t have to change the content of what you need to get out there. Be gentle and considerate in your approach, Aries.
