Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
There are so many cheesy expressions that say it, but in order to make an omelet, you have to crack a few eggs. In other words, you can’t grow without outgrowing at least some things, and you can’t take perfectly safe risks. This week it’s time to embrace chance, including the messy parts of it. You’re not in control of anything but how you choose to respond to your circumstances and emotions; explore your options from the inside out, Virgo.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
In life, there are inevitably going to be things you don’t want, that stress you out or that frighten you—there’s no way around it. Where you have agency is with how you hold these things, Libra. Instead of getting out the microscope with your fears, align with what is authentic to you. You can try to guess what’s going on for others or what comes next all day long, but if you do that at the expense of checking in with your own self, it won’t help you move forward.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Things are changing in deep and sometimes really upsetting ways. Within it all, you are changing too, Scorpio. This isn’t the time to fixate on how others feel or what they think about where you’re at. Give yourself permission to be a work in progress; allow room for uncertainty on your path as you reorient yourself in light of recent developments. This week, striving to pin things down will only succeed in creating struggle. The unknown is not evidential; it’s transitional.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
It’s easy to allow your anxieties to inspire you to abandon yourself, even though it’s not kind or wise. Seek balance and grounding, especially in the face of any uncertainty you’re experiencing, Sagittarius. This is a useful time for slowing down, so you can create space to catch up with recent developments and feelings that you don’t know how to contend with. How you get where you’re trying to go is as important as when you get there; take your time to do it with love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
This week you’re likely to be faced with the need to make some important decisions. Confusingly, they may actually only impact you and your quality of life, as opposed to your actions. The answers aren’t likely to be straightforward or easy for you, so it’s important that you prioritize time for reflection. Be less focused on finding the “right answers” and strive to be more receptive, Capricorn. You can’t strong arm clarity about what’s authentic, my love.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Slow down and reconnect with yourself so that you can better hear the whispering voice of your intuition. This week you may need to let go of some things as you come to realize that they are functioning as distractions instead of tools. Be flexible and open in the face of new information, this week. You’re likely to be able to create greater stability by being more efficient with what you’ve got rather than reinventing the wheel, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Align yourself with your priorities, Pisces. Learning how to discern the meh from the good from the excellent is not always straightforward; sometimes what is good for you doesn’t actually feel great, and what most certainly falls in the meh to bad category can be downright delightful. Strive to make decisions more gracefully by letting go of what’s holding you back. This week, that is likely to require that you start with your attitudes and work up from there.

Aries
March 21-April 19
It’s a mixed bag to say the least, Aries. In your rush to make things OK, you run the risk of repressing your feelings and creating greater problems for yourself in the long run. Take things incrementally this week. Resource your intuition and honour whatever is up for you, moment by moment. In this way you can celebrate the good without turning your back on what pains you, or needs more care and attention. Be here for the complexity of your feelings, my love.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
No Taurus loves change, but it’s an inevitable part of a life well lived. This week you may find yourself confronted with the frustration of not liking your options. You’re on call to make some pretty meaningful changes, but may be feeling really resistant to it. Take a deep breath and look ahead, Taurus. How is what you’re doing now going to impact you in six months? A year? Five years? Look at this moment as a love letter to future you, and act accordingly, my stubborn friend.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
It’s not about whose fault it is, or where to assign blame. If you continue to indulge in whodunit thinking, instead of acceptance, you’ll feel like you’re constantly at battle with others, even if they don’t know it. This will exhaust you and also keep you stagnant—a pretty crummy combination, Twin Star. Accept others for who they prove themselves to be to you. Decide what you’re going to do with what is, instead of continuing to struggle against the evidence you’ve been shown.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
Instead of stuffing or starving your emotions, try a new approach, Moonchild: transform your relationship to them. This week will offer you opportunities to slip into old coping mechanisms that are more comfortable to you in the short term, but fall short of what you need in the big picture. Strive to take the more is less methodology and centre actions that are constructive and feel fortifying.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Approach your concerns with an open heart, Leo. It’s wise to be a bit self-protective and patient as matters develop this week. You may find yourself feeling restless and anxious as your desire to move things along competes with your desire for real and lasting change in your life. Strive to stay present through your impatience; if you get there quickly but leave everyone behind as you do, it’s unlikely to feel very good.
