This week it’s wise to slow down and reconnect with your body, Virgo. No matter how exciting or demanding life is, if you ignore the needs of your body for this life, it will inevitably catch up with you. Check in with your tendency to go to extremes—it doesn’t need to be all body care or no body care. Simply explore your needs and contemplate a sustainable pace to tend to them.

Take responsibility for where your energy flows and falls, Capricorn. This week will confront you with temptations to obsess over things that keep you stuck.

Instead of attaching to the transient upsets that you’re confronted with, do your best to rise to the occasion, my love.

Sometimes the best way to respond to what comes up is by listening instead of trying to manipulate what comes next or how anybody feels. This week is likely to stir up a lot of uncertainty, and while that’s uncomfortable, the good news is you don’t have to have any answers. Do what you believe to be right because it’s right, and not because of whatever reward or validation you may prefer to receive.
