Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
When you break out of old behaviors that don’t actually suit you anymore it would be wonderful if the world would throw you a little party, but the world is a hard place. What more frequently happens is that the people and situations you’re enmeshed in have to change along with you, which is hard on them. Don’t confuse the pain of growing with the pain of being harmed, Scorpio. Growth inevitably requires outgrowing some things, and while it’s not always fun, it’s totally valuable.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You can have it all, but probably not all at once, Sagittarius. You may see the path forward as clear as day, but this isn’t the best time to rush into it. Make sure that you are including others in your plans and that you’re not forcing them to move at your pace. Collaboration requires compromise, and this week you need a heavy dose of both to get your needs met. Protect the things and people you love by working with them at every step, my love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As you strive to make decisions you're likely to feel a roadblock this week. Instead of trying to scale it, try to sit with it for a while. You’re on the precipice of clarity, but it’s not likely to come right away. What you can do in the meantime is emotional; honour and support your feelings. Make more constructive use of your downtime and practice having better boundaries with where your thoughts linger. When it can’t be productive, keep it constructive, Capricorn.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Talk about it, Aquarius. If you keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself you run the risk of stewing on half-truths and assumptions at this time. Remember that Mercury retrograde drops on the 31st, and this transit means that you're likely to misunderstand things, or not have the whole story. Ask questions, explore possibilities and try not to take things at face value whenever possible. Things are unlikely to be as they seem this week.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
If you fight what you’re being shown about yourself and your life in general, you’ll end up exhausting yourself, Pisces. You don’t need to manage other people, your future or anything else. Strive to take care of yourself without attachment. That means not doing things because of what you think you’ll get out of it. Motivate yourself by what is right for you and what is true in the here and now. This week, manage your own integrity in the little things.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Timing is everything. Don’t try to force things forward before you or your circumstances are ready for it, Aries. Take time this week to gather your energy and cultivate clarity. True leadership requires collaboration, and true power isn’t diminished by sharing it. Mercury retrograde be damned, this is a good time to seek the truth. Work through your fears and ego so that you can get to your best self—and then act from there.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
You may not know the answer right now but that’s OK, Taurus. Don’t get distracted by the details this week, because how you approach your goals is an essential part of what comes next. Find ways of reminding yourself what you truly care about, why you’re concerned, and basically what you're in it for so that you don’t waste your energy on things that don’t really matter when it comes down to it. What you feed will grow, my love.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
If you don’t let go of the attitudes, habits, or maybe even relationships that are holding you in place, you’re likely to be pretty frustrated this week. Instead of trying to avoid drama, seek the truth, Twin Star. Start with what’s true for you and expand your clarity from there. Does it make you feel bad to talk to that person? Take space! Does eating beets sit wrong in your body? Stop eating them! You might not like what you find, but at least you can work with what you understand.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
The line between stability and stagnancy can be a sensitive one to navigate. When you don’t have the flexibility to change your mind, your approach, or worst of all, your feelings about a thing, you’re stuck. Consider what needs to change this week—but don’t worry, you don’t have to actually make the change yet! Whether you need to change your dynamic, your attachments, or your approach, you first need to start with emotional self-acceptance, my sweet friend.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
If you’re waiting for other people to change so that your situation can improve, you’re in for quite a wait, Leo. This week it’s all about being the change you wish to see in your life. Show up in ways big and small that reflect the energy and content that you want reflected in your relationships. If others can’t meet you where you need them to, you may have to take more drastic actions. But collect data and keep your side of the street clean for now.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Let your fears inform you, Virgo. Where you’re feeling most apprehensive or scared is where you most need kindness, patience and a gentle touch. Validate your feelings without attaching to the story you currently have about why you got here. Allowing yourself to be where you’re at without defenses or excuses is a skill that takes practice, but is well worth it. Strive to avoid creating drama out of your doldrums this week.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
When things go sideways for you (as they so often do), your job is to manage your energy so that you can manage your responses. Find ways of exploring your feelings instead of figuring them out, Libra. If you catch yourself obsessing over what other people are feeling, thinking, doing, or not doing, you’ve lost the thread. Do what’s right for you, in a way that is consistent with the person you want to be—not with how the most annoying person you have to contend with is acting.
