Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week, your anxieties are going to lead you down a thorny path if you let them. Instead of meticulously analyzing your situation or the hidden feelings and motives of others, it would be a better use of your energy to reflect on them, Libra. Sit with the patterns and trends at play, and pay particular attention to where you may have abandoned yourself along the way. Strive to get right with yourself before you try to decode your relationships.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
When you’re feeling overwhelmed and like you’ve taken on too much, and can’t take on any more, is when you need to get grounded. This week the change in your life that you so desperately need starts with you, and the best place to start is in the present. Strive to determine what your boundaries are, even if it means upsetting the apple cart or confronting something that you’d rather avoid. Get real about where you’re at so that you can actually deal with it, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
It’s totally okay to be stressed out, overwhelmed, or in a bad mood. The key is to not lose yourself in those feelings, or pretend that they’re not happening and sugarcoat your words and actions. Prioritize staying grounded this week. Whether that means you need to address your actions or your attitudes, it’s likely to require some measure of change. Your future is best protected from a healthy present. Be open to your own growth—even when it hurts, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You’ve taken on too much recently and it’s caught up with you, Capricorn. This week, it’s not enough to know you need to have better boundaries; you’ve got to clearly identify them, speak them to others, and be a steward of them. Focus on follow through instead of defending your right to have human limits. You’re engaged in a marathon and not a sprint, and learning to preserve your energy for the journey ahead of you is an important skill to cultivate.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
There are many planes on which activity occurs. When you’re deep in thought, percolating on an idea, or figuring out a hard to solve problem, it can seem like you’re being inactive when that’s the furthest thing from the truth. Give yourself the space you need to slow down so that you can figure out what you need to do next. Acting before you’re ready could have upsetting consequences this week, so honour your process—even if that means prioritizing your insides over what others can see.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Things are changing quickly and it’s easy to feel out of control with so much uncertainty in front of you. This week, it’s important to focus on what you can control—even if that means getting value from the very little things. Tend to what you can, Pisces; go through and clear up your inbox, take out your recycling (all of it!), or find the time to watch a sunset. Choose activities that lessen stress in the long run and lighten your load for now.

Aries
March 21-April 19
When you overextend yourself it’s easy to get defensive and frustrated, but at the end of the day it’s on you to determine what you’re going to do about it. Don’t lose too much energy by looking behind you, Aries. Honour your future by focusing on the present and making the best choices available to you right now.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
If you make moves that are too bold and too rapid, you’re likely to feel incredibly stressed out this week. You can do it all but if you do it all at once you can expect some blowback in your mental health, Taurus. Create a plan so that you can take one step at a time with intention, instead of rushing to do it all at once. While you’re at it, you don’t have to do it all alone. Enlist help and your success can reach even further, my sweet and sensitive friend.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Beware of self-fulfilling prophecies, my love. Major revelations and correlating transformations are percolating within you. This week may not be the time for making major changes, but you yourself are changing on the inside, and it’s big. There’s no rush! It may be wise to buy yourself some time before you share with others what’s happening within you. It’s far better to do it right, and do it once, than to put yourself out there before you’re ready.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
This week it’s time to confront your fears. This confrontation doesn’t need to be mean spirited and you don’t need to be in a rush about it, but it’s time to get really honest. While your current situation may be unique, the patterns underlying it are not. When you find your own role to play in whatever dynamics you’re involved in, it becomes easier to access and leverage your agency and do what needs to be done. Find your voice, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
It can be awkward and uncomfortable to be vulnerable, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a healthy way to be. Centre finding ways of showing up for yourself and others that are heartfelt this week, Leo. This means acting in ways that reflect the contents of your heart, instead of your fears. Be kind when no one is looking, and generous when there’s nothing in it for you. True generosity builds on itself, and has no downside, my love.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You can keep on moving in the same circles, running into the same problems, or you can choose to make the deep and meaningful changes your life needs. This week the problems that you’re meant to deal with are not going to be hard to identify, Virgo. Your challenge will lie in your ability to pair your willingness to change with the patience you need to identify what needs your attention, and how to best follow through. Think like the turtle and not the rabbit, my finicky friend.
