Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Boundaries are a form of self-love, and this week it’s your job to centre yours. Instead of powering through, take the time you need to identify what you need, and how you can prioritize it, or compensate for the ways that you can’t. Your fears may be on high alert, so it may take great intention to not act impulsively from them, Capricorn. Sometimes you need to do inner work before you can confidently mobilize on the outer stuff. Take a deep breath and focus on the next step in front of you, my love.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
What other people think is their problem to manage, and it’s a huge energy suck for you to overthink it. Centre getting clear on what you care about, how you’re prioritizing it and what, if anything, needs to change. You may experience what feels like a setback this week, but it’s really just a nudge to get you where you need to be, which is right with yourself. The way you approach your path is more important than where you are at this time, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
It’s time, Pisces! Remember to use all of the self-care and positive self-talk tools that you have collected in 2019, and put them into practice for 2020. You’re changing, but it wouldn’t be hard for you to fall back on old habits and coping mechanisms. This doesn’t have to be hard, but it is time to develop new habits. Be mindful of the thoughts you focus on, and the actions you follow through with. Expand to meet the person you’re ready to be, my love.

Aries
March 21-April 19
The pain in your heart isn’t a weakness—it’s your experience, it’s information and it’s your load to carry gently. True strength is being able to admit when you’re struggling, to ask for help, and to receive it when it’s offered. It’s also being able to own the consequences of your actions, or inactions. This week you know what is upsetting you. Own your part and let others in, Aries. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to show up, my love.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
You don’t have to know what comes next to do your utmost now. This week is likely to confront you with the kind of choices that only you will be impacted by in the short term. This is an important time to act in accordance with your integrity, even though it would be easiest to phone it in. Do the right thing because it’s right—and not because someone is watching. This is your time to shine so that your own light illuminates the path in front of you, Taurus.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Gather yourself together, Twin Star. You’ve gone through a lot lately and if you don’t take the time to slow down and integrate it all, it’ll just add up to be so much more noise in the background of your busy mind. Confront your fears of failure. Acknowledge your dread of success. Own your messiness so that you can make the most sustainable choices around how to best manage your feelings and your plans; your fears are likely just that: don’t turn them into realities, my love.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
The truth is that if we got everything we wanted, life would be so much worse than it is now. You are going through some major stuff and it’s not easy, even if some of it is really good, Moonchild. Instead of lamenting the hard parts, try to open up your perspective on them. What do your problems reveal to you, of yourself? How can you learn from what you like least in your life, so that you can authentically grow past it? No one said this would be easy, but the work is totally worth it.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
You may feel like things just got a little hard, or like your progress is getting blocked a bit this week. Don’t overthink it, Leo! Carving out space to get centred and to regroup within is an excellent practice for you. While you may be able to go-go-go, that doesn’t make it wise. Contemplate your next steps by reviewing your most recent moves. There is a bigger picture to consider in your life, so take a step back to get a better view, dear one.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
How you proceed from here is really important, and the worst thing that you could do now is trample over your instincts to advance beyond what you're comfortable with. Listen to yourself, Virgo. Something may be off; it could be with yourself, or your situation. You may simply need to sleep on it, to ask questions, or to make peace with a compromise that you feel called to make. It’s better to do it right than to do it quickly this week.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week’s matters are likely to test your patience. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to let go of control while taking full authority over your attitudes and actions. This isn’t easy, because it takes a willingness to honour your instincts and values, even when you’d rather go with the flow. Trust yourself, and if you don’t know what that means, slow down and reflect on what your insides are telling you. It’s time to step up and stand firm, Libra.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
If you don’t like the game then don’t play, Scorpio. This week, events are likely to test your sense of self, and you may find it uncomfortable and destabilizing. Instead of trying to fix something that you don’t understand, or worse, jump to defensive conclusions, prioritize taking time to get yourself together. Don’t seek answers before you seek clarity, my friend. Prioritize how you approach your feelings and responses, instead of looking at what others are or aren’t doing.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This is a powerful time to confront your fears, particularly related to the theme of scarcity. It’s hard to trust in the flow of possibility when you see evidence of lack in your life, or the world around you. Sit with your hopes and your fears without needing to come to big conclusions about either. You are allowed to be of mixed mind and heart; the bad doesn’t cancel out the good, they get to exist together in all their glorious messiness. It’s time to embrace the whole, Sagittarius.
