Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
There are multiple ways of being selfish, and not all of them are bad. This week you may have to prioritize your own self in a way that upsets others. Whether or not you have a right to do what you’re doing, you still have to deal with consequences to your actions. Be creative in your approach to both care for yourself and your relationships this week. Things can’t always be perfect but you can strive to centre learning about yourself and the world around you when things get sticky, Libra.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
You may find yourself having to deal with a bully this week, and if I’m being honest, it’s just as possible that you are the bully trying to push yourself around. Whether or not the call is coming from inside the house, your ego is going to be tested at this time. Be strong, but not at the expense of your integrity, empathy and common sense. You have a real chance to change an old pattern—grasp it, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
No matter how much you want to resist dealing with difficult situations or your internal upsets, they’re waiting for your attention, Sagittarius. This week you may just have to pick a side—no matter how much you’d rather not. Remember: the truth is true whether you want to accept it or not, or deal with it or not. Get clear about your goals, and then act in ways that reflect them. All you can control is your own participation, so focus on that, my love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You’ve been thrashing around trying to figure things out for a while now and you finally have made some meaningful progress. This week it’s on you to embody the changes that you’ve determined to be right—even if it still feels risky. All change is scary, even when it’s objectively an improvement. Don’t let your fear of the unknown convince you that what lies ahead is somehow bad. Embrace change, Capricorn, and embrace your own hearts trembling as you expand.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Regardless of how impatient you may be feeling, it’s wise to slow down and gather some intel this week. Prioritize taking in your surroundings and truly listening to the people in your life, Aquarius. Ask yourself some questions; are things different than you’ve been telling yourself that they are? How have you changed in recent months, and how have your relationships changed? For best results, make adjustments based on the reality of your situation.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
You’re ready, Pisces. You have finally figured out something really essential and you’re likely to think that you’re ready to change something within yourself or your approach to a situation. Your head is certainly clear, but that doesn’t mean your heart is on board quite yet. Allow some space for your feelings to catch up with your knowing. You may have to make adjustments and take slower or smaller steps forward, but it’ll be worth it in the end.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You can’t predict the future—no one can. If your actions today are conditional on getting certain results in an unknowable future, then you’re going to be really stressed out, my friend. Act with integrity in the moment for the moment, Aries. Collaborate with others who know more than you and show up and share your own strengths and talents. When you’re stressed out, it helps to remember that you don’t have to go it alone. Collaborate for the win.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Here’s a pro-tip for managing anxiety this week, Taurus: when you’re stressed out, pick one concern to focus on at a time. Strive to come up with at least one constructive thing that you can do about whatever is bothering you before you indulge in your next distressing situation. Slow down the ways that you engage with what’s important or worrisome to you; you don’t need answers as much as you need a sustainable approach to grappling with your questions.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
You’ve been working hard on yourself, and it shows. This week will pose a meaningful benchmark in your progress, for better or worse, Twin Star. Your capacity for empathy needs to expand. Whether you need more of it for yourself or for others, it’s important to keep it at the forefront of your thinking. No thing, person, or relationship is perfect; hold space for the messy complexities that are inevitable in life. If you need to call some boundaries, do it from that place.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
Regardless of the retrogrades, this is a powerful week for starting something new or putting yourself out there, Moonchild. The key is to do it with humility and patience. Think in terms of laying foundations instead of starting in the middle, or being perfect straight out of the gate. In order to pull off the changes you seek, you need to believe in yourself. Not that you’re perfect or flawless; only that you’ll learn and grow from whatever comes, my love.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
This week you might feel anxious and unsure of what to focus your formidable energy on. The age old questions of how much is too much versus what’s not enough are enough to drive anyone to distraction, so here’s a tip for you, Leo: don’t try to bypass your own emotions to “find the answers”. Tap into your heart and prioritize soothing your feelings before you go trying to figure things out rationally. Clear out the cobwebs before you try to get clarity, my love.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
As you seek to find a more moderate approach to the things you’re dealing with, make sure that you’re not compromising on self-care. This week may find you emotionally tapped, struggling and just plain tired. The way forward starts first with accepting what you’re feeling without judgment. Only after this can you make life-affirming decisions. Don’t prioritize the speed of your external progress over your own wellness, Virgo.
