Your weekly horoscope: April 26 - May 2, 2017

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

This week’s New Moon is in your sign — and it’s a big deal. Expect to feel all the stuff you’ve been trying to shrug off. That means you’ve got to carve out some space for you to unplug from the world and align with your messy, complicated feels. You don’t need to have all the answers, but you do need to make room at the table for the questions. Love yourself enough to have patience with your process, Taurus.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

You’ve worked really hard to get here, but that doesn’t mean that you’re prepared to actually stick around. There are seasons to everything, and you’re really good at the part of the cycle that’s about striving. The good news is that you’ve gotten to a place of results, but the bad news is that you’re a bit ill-equipped to flow with some of the best stuff in your life. That’s OK, Twin Star — you get to be a work in progress, and this is a great time to expand your life.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

Like it or not, you’re seeing things clearly, Moonchild. This week you’re in an excellent position to deal with your relationships as they are. The trick is to avoid getting roped into emotional battles that you know aren’t really about you — challenge yourself to embody healthy boundaries when things get emo. You don’t need to have all the answers in order to stop a conversation from going in a certain direction or to be honest about where you’re at with things. Be open to the process, my love.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

Being in a period of instability is a bit scary, but it’s also hella fertile. This week is an excellent one for putting into motion the things that you know need to change. The risks you take by shaking things up may be intimidating, but what’s worse is sitting in sub par circumstances and doing nothing. Don’t be a wallflower in your own life — rise to the challenge of doing you, even when others don’t get it or are unwilling to get behind it. This is your one life — honour it, Leo.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

There’s a tension between being alone and being intimate that you must address this week, Virgo. When you feel anxious it’s easy to want to hide away from others while you get yourself in order, and there’s a wisdom to that. The problem is that you will never feel perfect, and so you may find yourself in a pattern of hiding that you don’t even remember starting. Don’t wait to be ready — try now. It’s OK to be scared; just don’t let it stop you, my love.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

So much is going your way (yay!). Unfortunately, not everybody is enjoying your good fortune, and so not everyone is feeling the same vibes as you. This week is a great opportunity to be have good boundaries. Don’t mirror or take on the feels of the people you’re close to. You can be having a great day while someone you love is in the pits. Just remember to be willing to listen to where they are in equal parts to how much you share about yourself. Seek balance in how you approach your relationships, Libra.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

All relationships have their cycles. There are times when we are very close, and then life can get in the way. Rather than trying to create the perfect conditions for your connections to thrive, try to just stay honest. If you know you’re not all in, don’t tell someone you are. If you know that you’re feeling hurt, don’t pick a fight to distract from that pain. Show all the way up, Scorpio, especially when it feels risky.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

It’s time to confront your fears, ‘Tarius. There’s a worried part of your mind that’s obsessing over all the things that could go wrong, but that ain’t right! Grab hold of opportunity this week because this is an excellent time for kicking things off. It’s an especially good time for creative and romantic beginnings, so put yourself in the position where things can happen. Open yourself up to possibilities.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

You have choice, Capricorn. You can look at your life and see what isn’t there, or you can look at it and see what you’ve got. You can approach your successes as just stepping stones to the next big thing, or you can take time to appreciate them. This week it’s important to consider your perspective: your reality is in part what you make it, so why not strive to make it as hopeful a place as you can? Take chances on happiness, my love.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Here’s the thing: you know what you want, and you know that you’re impatient to make it happen. What you don’t know is that if you got it all at once that you’d likely to not be able to handle it. It’s a good, if not pretty annoying, thing that your success is coming in stages, Aquarius. Don’t rush your progress and forget to enjoy this present moment. Strive to be grateful for what you’ve got in the here and now, and build from that foundation.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

Don’t rush away from upset feelings, Pisces! It’s tempting to bolt when things are painful, but you run the risk of abandoning your own self just when you need to be your own best ally. This week, your challenge is to be a good friend to yourself. Don’t indulge in self-destructive or evasive maneuvers when the going gets rough. You don’t need for things to go perfectly, you only need to try your best.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

No amount of pushing your agenda forward is going to satisfy you, Aries. This week you’re on call to cultivate some openness. If you hold back, what might come to you? What new insights might you have? There’s really only one way to find out. Take time to figure out what you really want. Fear has played too big of a role in your assessment of your goals. Give yourself the space to figure out what you need so you that you know it when it comes for you.
