Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The full moon on the 14th in your relationship house is not the time to hide out, Virgo. Sit with your feelings enough that you can decode what they're really about. Defensiveness will get you nowhere in a hurry, but you might find yourself having a truly hard time sitting with your feels and owning the messiness and even ambiguities there. Honour your truth at this moment, whatever it is, because it’s the only place that you can truly move forward from, my love.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
The power of affirmation is not the power of fake niceties, but instead, authentic hopefulness. It’s okay if you’re not feeling positive, but this week you will have the opportunity to heal some wounds through acts of generosity and kindness that can only come from a heart that isn’t overwhelmed by feelings of scarcity. Seek the potential and even abundance that exists in yourself and the world around you, then share it with others and watch it grow, Libra.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
This week isn’t the time for conservatism, Scorpio. It’s time for you to want with the fullness of your heart, to try to the very best of your ability, and to love as though you weren’t at all scared of not being loved back. There is no power available to you that doesn’t run through your emotions, and when they get twisted up in the past or the future, it points your actions and your energies in conflicting directions in the present. Treat yourself and others as you want to be treated, my love.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Sometimes when you’re stopped in your tracks by fear it’s because you have issues that are blocking you, and other times it’s a wise impulse (i.e. a fear of a bear chasing you, when you’re actually in the woods and see a bear, versus when you’re comfy in bed, thinking about bears). It would be a shame to slow down the progress of your own life worrying over what might be, sweet Sagittarius. Be brave enough to let go of the attitudes that are keeping you stuck this week.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You are unlikely to have all the answers all at once, and as uncomfortable as that may be, it’s not a bad thing. Strive to have confidence in your ability to respond to the unexpected, instead of rushing matters before they’re ready. Life, and especially people, is complicated and some things truly aren’t personal. Take responsibility for your responses and continue to allow situations and dynamics reveal themselves to you, so that you are informed when you make your next moves, my love.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
That feeling that you have–where you’re not sure, or just a bit uneasy, is totally normal, but it’s also totally unpleasant. The key is to not go looking for excuses or people or things to blame for your slightly off frame of mind. Prioritize self-care this week, Aquarius. Find ways of intentionally nurturing yourself, ideally through acts of kindness. Strive to be patient with your process as you develop new skills in the face of old demons.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
The full moon in your sign on the 14th is a really powerful 2019 moment for you, Pisces. Align yourself with the right questions, instead of rushing to seek the answers. This is a fortuitous time to let go of the attitudes and habits that no longer reflect the human that you are, but that doesn’t mean that it will be easy. Look to your relationship to loss and to hope; practice staying truly present in the here and now for whatever comes up this week.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Sometimes what you want is not what you need. You’re pointed in the right direction, but Aries, you’re rushing. If you pick the fruit before it’s ready, you’ll miss out on its sweetness. This week there may be a tension between what will give you validation today, and what you’re really ready for. Believe in yourself enough to know that no singular opportunity or moment will define you. Give yourself the space you need to find your moment, my love.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
You can’t please everyone, and that’s a fact. This week is likely to find you grappling with whether you pushed something too far, or if you’re just having growing pains as you learn to take up more space. Be humble enough to be genuinely curious and investigative, and strong enough to be willing to look at the truth. You’re allowed to make mistakes, Taurus. In fact, it’s the only way to grow. Honour your feelings without damning yourself or others, this week.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Your relationship to responsibility needs to change, Twin Star. Whether you take on too much or not enough, or whether you fail to follow through, this is the time to take stock and make changes. If you don’t have healthy boundaries with your own inner dialogue you are likely to make unsustainable decisions that have frustrating consequences. There’s no shame in asking for help or having a limit. Be forthcoming about your needs this week.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
Full moons always kick up a lot of emotion in you, and this one in Pisces (on the 14th) will be no exception. Pay attention to the needs and impulses of your ego, Moonchild. If you feel compelled to defend yourself, that’s a symptom of not feeling that you have a right to your actions or perspective. Tread intentionally, as you can change your patterns or reinforce them, this week. Start by investigating your motives and your emotions before you unintentionally bring any drama to your relationships, my love.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
As the world around you changes, you have a choice to make; will you change too, or work to stand your ground and remain the same? There is no right or wrong answer that works for all times and all situations—there is only action and consequence. Align yourself with what is most true for you this week, not what’s least challenging. Practice having healthy boundaries with your fears, judgments, and ego, Leo. Honor your best instincts, not your loudest ones.
