Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
It’s hard to do your best when you’re not present, but it’s hard to be present when you don’t feel your best. You may feel tempted to make assumptions, or worse, compulsively read the horoscopes of others to try and divine their next move this week, but your task is to be present with whatever is. In the words of Eckhart Tolle “The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You can’t change the past, but you can change your relationship to it if need be, Sagittarius. This week your fantasies and projections may hit the wall of reality, and it’s not likely to be the most fun thing you’ve ever experienced. Strive to be present for whatever evidence you’re being shown, and whether you like it or not, see if you can accept it at least for now. You can’t turn back time but you can be informed and intentional moving forward.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As annoying as it may sound, there really is no replacement for love. Your personal and professional relationships are all places for you to show up with greater empathy and compassion—both essential components of impersonal love—and tenderness and kindness, which are key components of personal love. Be the change you wish to see in the world by treating people in ways that highlight their humanity, and in turn, reinforce your own.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
If you take everything that the people in your life do personally, you’ll have no rest. This week is kicking up all kinds of intense emotions in everyone, and how individuals respond to that is, well, individual. Find ways of honouring your needs that doesn’t demand interrogation. Let people be weird and confusing, and in the process, let them reveal themselves to you. Find your place in your own self and not in the unpredictability of others, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Success can be as scary as failure, because the more you have, the more you have to lose. This week you’re likely to get the most traction out of treating your anxieties as emotions to support instead of stories to follow. Beware of overthinking, stress-fueled obsessions, and seeking evidence of the outcome while you’re still midstream in the process. Tolerate your feelings without compulsively converting them into thoughts, Pisces.

Aries
March 21-April 19
If you put too much emphasis on doing, you are likely to feel all kinds of twisted up, Aries. It’s normal that your first response to confusion or uncertainty is to look for an answer, but here’s the thing: if you’ve misunderstood the problem, you won’t be able to come to an answer that gives you peace. As unpleasant as it sounds, spend some time with your discomfort before you rush to figure things out this week, my love.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Acceptance is not consent, it’s awareness. Can you accept what you don’t like? It’s hard to do, but it’s often a foundational step to being able to make necessary changes. Be brave enough to look at what isn’t working for you so that you can determine what your next steps should be. You may have to change your actions, your expectations, or your attitudes in order to cope with things as they are, but it’s totally worth it, Taurus.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Your ruling planet may be retrograde, but this isn’t the week to sit back and let life happen to you, Twin Star. You’ve been working towards something—whether it’s a project, a relationship, or coming to an understanding, and you’re doing great. It’s now time to put into practice some of the ideas you’ve been working with. There’s no rush! It’s ok to take baby steps, but it’s also important that you take some real steps towards putting your ideas into action.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
The problem with patience is that it requires that you tolerate your fears and insecurities without acting on them or beating yourself up. This week may require you to be protective of yourself as matters develop. The key here is to not go rigid or hold your breath as a way to cope. Find solid ground in yourself, your relationships, or even on your favorite park bench, and align your energies with who you are. You don’t need to be anywhere but here, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Yours is a fixed sign, which is both a source of strength and can also be a liability for you. This week requires some flexibility, and it may feel a bit at your own expense, Leo. Your job is to look at your reactions and determine whether you’re fighting for the sake of it or if there is really something that you need at this time. Don’t confuse what you wish you had with what’s essential. It’s not a great time for forcing things, my love.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Here’s an exercise for you this week: when you find yourself worried over how something will turn out, number it. Consider on a scale of one to ten (with ten being the worst) how worried you are. Once done, take a deep breath and count to thirty, breathing intentionally the whole time, and not focused on your problem. Now return to your problem and ask yourself what number your stress registers at. Prioritize taking your stress down a notch, Virgo.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
There’s a difference between being chill and caving, Libra, and a lot of it has to do with intent. Honour what is true for you—even if it means that you’re less easygoing, or have to take a risk. This isn’t the time for you to unnecessarily concede or pretend you’re OK with things that upset you. Assert yourself without attachment to what others will do in response, Libra. All you need to do is show up honestly, not control what happens as a result.
