Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Get ready for the feels! There will be a tender new moon in your sign on the 17th, Virgo. It’s a fertile time of the year for you to clarify your intentions, your goals, what you’re doing, and your drive or motivations behind your actions. You may need to start off by looking at your boundaries; strive to determine whether they are keeping you stuck or keeping you safe. Don’t defensively protect what you’ve outgrown, no matter how tempted you are this week.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Fear on its own is not all bad; it can alert you to danger, let you know when things are off, and even make you appreciate easier times. When fear goes rogue is when we get into problems, Libra. Don’t allow yourself to obsess on what if‘s and other stressful and unproductive lines of thought. You don’t have all the answers, and you can’t have them—no one can. All you can do is your best with the information you’ve got. Organize your concerns so that you can deal with what’s real this week.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Having healthy boundaries is hard; it’s hard to know what your limits are, to have faith in them and then to figure out how to communicate them effectively. What can be even harder is having to embody and enforce them. This week things may get awkward but that shouldn’t stop you from striving to do things differently, Scorpio. You’ve changed, but that doesn’t mean that your behaviour fully reflects those inner changes, or that the people that you’re close to have had a chance to catch up with you.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This week it’s important that you slow down so that you can better hear (and then hopefully heed) your own inner voice. It doesn’t look like you need a major restructuring in your life, but in order to sustain both your commitments and your energy, you do need to get grounded. Take a pause from major activity and making new commitments so that you can tend to your basics, Sagittarius. Make small adjustments that yield big impact, my ambitious friend.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As you learn how to take up more space in your own life, you’re bound to overstep from time to time. The goal should not be for you to never make mistakes or to be perfect; ideally, your goal should be for you to keep on growing. Be willing to learn from what’s hard for you, where you are not naturally talented, and even from where you fail. It’s freeing to accept that your learning curve is an essential part of your process, Capricorn.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
It’s not enough to make a decision, or even to deeply understand things. What you also must do is embody the wisdom that you have accumulated so that you can actually make use of it. This week is all about embodiment, Aquarius. You are on call to emotionally show up, and act from your kindest parts instead of only your smartest ones. The changes you are wanting to make require that you build yourself into the person you want to be. Start with your emotions and work from there.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Growth can be so awkward, Pisces. In order to truly be there for others, you must learn how to truly be there for yourself, as well. Your relationship to your own ego needs some honest care and attention. There will be in New Moon in your relationship house on the 17th of this week, and you may find yourself having to show up in your relationships in new ways. Whatever you do, when you choose others don’t let it be at the expense of yourself, my devotional friend.

Aries
March 21-April 19
While it might not be clear how you’re going to get where you want to go, this is an important week for you to create some space to deliberate on it. Get grounded in what you have and what you’re grateful for, Aries. Tend To the foundations in your life that are holding you up and keeping you strong; this may be movement, your friendships, or some project that is giving you life. In the face of what you can’t control, it’s valuable to give thanks to what supports you.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
This week is the time to take risks, but not in the way you might think. Take a chance on yourself, Taurus. You have been investing in some forms of self development over the past several months, and now you’re seeing real progress. It’s time for you to choose to take it to the next level or not. Step into the parts of your process that feel vulnerable with intention so that you can choose to transform it. You are stronger than you think, my love.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
This week is likely to confront you with a bit of a personal riddle. You may find yourself tempted to focus on things that are scary or threatening to you, but you’ve seen this movie before, and you know how it ends. Be on the lookout for old patterns showing up in new clothing, Twin Star. Instead of allowing yourself to go on autopilot in the face of fear, strive to stay present, compassionate and kind. How you respond to what’s in front of you is in many ways more important than the thing itself.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
There’s so much for you to do this week and it’s likely to be more than a little overwhelming. Instead of trying to get ahead of everything, focus on the next steps in front of you. You are totally capable, Moonchild. You have the vision and the skills. Your challenge this week is to not psych yourself out as you confront the unknowable on your way. Move forward with your plans, but try to add a little faith in yourself to your approach.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
There is, in fact, too much of a good thing, Leo. Make sure that the ways that you’ve been treating yourself are actually bringing you happiness and a higher quality of life, instead of masking your problems with new, more enjoyable problems. You’re ready to mobilize and make improvements in your life or the world around you, but in order to do this you need to also take care of your own self. Remember: self-care is not a detour from the path, it’s an essential part of the path.
