Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The big picture can be really overwhelming when you get down to it. Sometimes you need to make a plan, plug it into your calendar, and then forget every step except the one directly in front of you. It’s OK to have limits and to need to pull back or simplify—in fact, it’s an inevitable part of living in the digital age. Give yourself permission to focus on what you need to manage and to put a pause on the rest this week, Virgo.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
It’s often hard to know how hard to push and when to yield. This week you’re likely to find yourself wanting to shove your love down someone’s throat or demand some sort of loving connection. You can’t make yourself or others feel any way other than how they feel, Libra. Act in ways that honour your truth without needing others to be where you’re at, or give you what you want immediately. Allow room for your relationships to develop, as they need to.

Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
This is a powerful time for heart healing, Scorpio. Allow yourself to be vulnerable, because it feels good to show up emotionally. Allow yourself to be hopeful, because being able to see the potential in things allows you to act to expand it. And dare to be transparent with the people you’re close to, even when it would be easier to phone it in. This week you’re likely to feel a lot of emotional energy flowing within and around you. Let it flow in a way that fills you up, my love.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
There are some things that you don’t know about yourself, and regardless of what it looks like, this is the source of your angst this week. It’s time to prioritize introspection, Sagittarius. Finding your truth is not the same as figuring out what to do, but when you figure it out you will better know how to evaluate whatever is in front of you with grace. Don’t seek the “best”—seek the best for you at this time based on what is real for you and your situation.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Sometimes the best way to hold on is by letting go, Cappy. You have gone to great lengths to identify what you need and to put it into the world. Now you need to step back and allow people and situations to reveal themselves to you. Strive to respond with integrity instead of managing others. Trust that you will be able to handle whatever it is that you see, because you’ve been doing the work (but this doesn’t mean that you get to control what comes next).

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
There’s something that you’re struggling with and the good news is that you totally understand it, but the bad news is that you’re sad. Treat your problems by tending to them emotionally—not mentally—this week. No further investigation will bring about healing, Aquarius. It’s time for you to be with your heart, as upsetting as it may be, so that you can let go of your attachment to shoulds and be kind to yourself around what is.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
Intent doesn’t always equal impact, Pisces. You may have meant totally well, but still have done some harm. Doing things wrong, or even doing bad things does not make you a bad person. How you respond to your own missteps, how you take or evade responsibility, all determine what you are. You may need to make lemonade this week, but that doesn’t make you a lemon! Allow this to be an opportunity to expand when it would be easiest to shrink, my love.

Aries
March 21-April 19
The things that make you sad can hold you back or inspire you forward–it’s really up to you. What they for sure won’t do is go away because you ignored them. Be brave enough to sit with your own messy and tender emotions this week, Aries. You can better handle your life from an honest place—even if it’s also the more complicated one. You’re in the throes of a pattern that has eluded you in the past, so be present for it now, my love.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
As frustrating or upsetting as things may feel, escapism or blaming others are flawed coping tactics. Honour your need for greater simplicity as much as you can this week, without needing to defend or deny it. You’re changing, and while you haven’t figured out the perfect way to deal with that, you’re earnestly trying, Taurus. Just don’t sabotage yourself by lashing out with self-destructive behaviours. The messiness isn’t permanent—be here for it without attachment.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
It’s time to shift your perspective and look at the potential instead of scanning for problems, Twin Star. Maybe things are rough, but what can you learn, what might you change, and how may you grow from it? If you’re not so fixated on “the answer,” you may figure out information that seems beside the point—but actually leads you to what you need to see. Open your mind and your heart will follow. You’re much closer to what you want than you realize.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
The role that anxiety plays in your problems may be bigger than you think, Moonchild. It’s tempting to project your fears onto what you don’t fully understand—but it’s not wise. Be on the lookout for triggering situations that make you feel like the only possible explanation is subterfuge. Just because you feel defensive doesn’t meant that people are out to get you. Sit with your feelings and try to get a broader perspective before you go making matters worse, my love.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Relationships are delightful and tender and so high maintenance, sometimes. This week you’re likely to feel like you’re being pushed by someone you’re close to, or you may be the one doing the pushing. Either way there’s the potential for upsets and power struggles, especially if you don’t deal with things mindfully. This is one of those times when, as they say, you’re likely to catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Ease in, Leo.
