Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This week, it’s wise to protect your deepest investments in what (or whom!) you love and what you’re most excited about. You’re still in a phase of development where the clay of your creations is not quite dry yet. If you have faith in the big picture of your development, it will be easier to stay open and interested in the path in front of you. Protect your process without tamping down on the joy you feel this week, Virgo.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
With Mars in your relationship house, it’s likely that tensions or passions are flaring between you and others. It’s possible that sadness or anxiety may compel you to feel like you’re not responsible for what you have done or are wanting to do, but that’s not true, Libra. Regardless of how you’re feeling, it’s important that you take responsibility for your actions. Change starts with you; be honest about your ego and humble about the ways you’ve impacted others this week.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
There’s simply no way of pleasing all the people, all the time (or even yourself all of the time). This week, you need to integrate changes that you’ve been working hard to activate within yourself—and it’s bound to be uncomfortable. This is a time for change, and that can be a bit upsetting to everyone involved. Don’t get attached to any one feeling, or even dynamic, this week. It’s all part of a larger process of becoming, dear Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Your ambitions and defences are two impulses that run the risk of getting you into major trouble if you’re not careful this week, Sagittarius. If you take on more than you can manage or if your motives are out of alignment with your values, you’ll find that by week’s end you’re really struggling. Honour your feelings without trying to control or convert others to your way of seeing things. Cultivate flexibility in the face of frustrations, my impulsive friend.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You’re in the throes of a major cycle of growth, Capricorn. While this is unlikely to feel easy, it’s truly important for your long term wellness. The key this week is to not lose your centre in the face of upsets; how you engage when you’re feeling unsettled is a true test of your character. Treat yourself and others with kindness and patience, even when you're feeling down. Maintain your balance, especially when things get emotional, my self-contained friend.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The role that anxiety plays in your decision making is one to be conscientious about, Aquarius. There can be a fine line between grounded caution and panicked worry, and the more that you do to be present and supportive of your feelings, the easier it will be to tell the difference. Strive to slow down and enough to tend to your emotions so that you can sustain the road ahead. Ground and fortify yourself before you strike out this week. .

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
As a sensitive creature, you are likely to feel deeply impacted by the intense energies running through us all this week. You don’t need to hold other people's emotions, or to find the solutions to the world's problems, this week. Now is the time to centre yourself, Pisces. Investigate what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and if it’s working. Internal exploration will yield the answers you’re looking for, not pressure, or bullying yourself. Take it one step at a time, my love.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You don’t have to have all the answers or be able to fill in all the details in order to have faith that you’re on the right path. It’s time to follow your heart, Aries. There are no assurances on how things will go, but if you are being true to yourself and the people and things you care about, you can’t really go wrong. In the wise words of Rumi, “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Your desire to be pleasant and agreeable may exist in stark contrast to how you’re actually feeling this week. Give yourself permission to be in your feelings—however annoying they may be. Frustration breeds defensiveness, and if you’re not careful, you’re likely to find yourself looking for someone to blame for how you’re feeling before you engage in necessary self-reflection. Spend time on meaningful self-investigation before you say something you can’t take back, Taurus.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
This week you may have to choose between pleasure and joy; they can both be happy-making, but the former oftentimes comes at the expense of the latter—especially in the long term. Consider the pragmatics of how you are approaching your investments this week, so that your priorities are reflected in your actions. It may require that you make the conscious decision to centre and prioritize what brings you joy, but it’s totally worth it, Twin Star.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
As you sort through frustrations and disappointments, you have a choice: to lament them or to accept them as they are in this moment. By accepting your feelings, even your crappy ones, you are better prepared to cope with them productively. This week is likely to confront you with the need to let something go, to set a boundary, or to be in the struggle of determining how to do those things. Honour what is most authentic instead of what you think you “should” do, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Sometimes the surest way to create stability is actually by upsetting the whole damn apple cart. It’s important that you apply the lessons of your past to your current situation, Leo. You may need to take a leap of faith or to quit a habit that you know has been getting in your way. It’s time to act in ways that are informed by your past mistakes and missteps; there’s nothing to be scared of, you only need to apply the wisdom you’ve cultivated, my love.
