Your weekly horoscope: March 1 - 8, 2017

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20
There’s a lot of action in your sign again this week, and it’s gonna feel intense for you. Don’t seek perfection, Pisces. Seek progress. Also, don’t look for external evidence that you’re doing it right – trust your own perception. Confronting the world and all its challenges takes courage, and if you stop looking for validation from others, you’ll find that you’re fully equipped to give it to yourself. There’s a bigger picture at play. Take heart and have faith in it.

Aries

March 21 – April 19
If your mind isn’t clear, it will be hard to separate your wisdom from mind chatter, Aries. You will have a lot of restless and exciting energy this week. The risk is that it could make everything shiny seem like gold – even when it isn’t. Your intuition is a tool that needs consistent sharpening so it can function well. Slow down and tune in, especially when you’re feeling impatient with your process. It’s okay if your freedom is gained via intentional compromise, my love. 

Taurus

April 20 – May 20
Your ruling planet goes retrograde on the 4^th, and that might mean it’s time to realign with your ethics. There’s anxious energy in the air, and if you’re not careful, it will catch up with you. This week, you need to spend enough time alone to be able to distinguish what’s yours versus what belongs to the people you’re close to. You need to believe that you have a right to be okay when others aren’t and that you deserve to take the break you so deeply need.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21
You’re likely to feel overwhelmed this week and that can make you look for the easy way out. There’s no escaping yourself, Twin Star, no matter how good you are at pulling the old Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde routine. Make sure to dot your i’s and cross your t’s. You alone are in charge of where you take your life. Follow through on opportunities that excite you, honour your commitments, and deal with the scary bits head on.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22
When you’re not right with yourself, everything you do feels off. Take strides to better understand what your fears are trying to tell you before you go and try to fix anyone else, Moonchild. Listen to your inner voice so that if you’re off track, you don’t go too far in the wrong direction, and if you’re doing all right, you can change your attitude. Find your centre of gravity, and seek to act from a self-loving place. You can totally handle any changes you need to make, just pace yourself this week.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22
Letting go of the past is no simple task. You can’t reason with yourself and whisk it away or sweep it under the rug. Letting go is an emotional process, and that means it takes time, Leo. This week, you’re likely to get insight into a long-developing emotional situation. Don’t jump on them or make any wild proclamations. Sit with your feelings and see what it reflects about you – not anyone else. Healing happens when you stop trying to force a fix.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22 Your relationships are likely to be rocky this week, so pace yourself. If you’re feeling gripped by anxieties that won’t let go, the worst thing you could do is substantiate it with a story. Don’t weave narratives to match your feelings, Virgo. Feeling scared doesn’t always mean that you’re in jeopardy, and it’s unwise to try and prove to yourself that it does. Let your feelings gestate before you jump to conclusions or convince yourself of drama that isn’t there.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You want to be free and you deserve it, but free of what? And at what cost? This week you’re not going to get answers from anyone other than your own sweet self, and that’s scary. Your tendency is to run ideas past other people, but this is the time for you to sit with your ideas and not let others’ opinions be your deciding factor. Taking full responsibility means that if something goes wrong, you have to shoulder the consequences, but it’s totally worth it, my love.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Art and creativity can have a profoundly healing effect on your life, Scorpio. If you’ve been feeling down or stuck, this is the time to get back to the studio and make some art, find new music to fall in love with, or watch an inspiring movie. Let fiction and fantasy inspire and refresh you, giving you a much-needed break from the hardships you’re dealing with. Let yourself be transformed by beauty wherever you can get it this week.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
When your roots feel loose, everything crumbles. You’ll need to set up healthy boundaries this week, ‘Tarius, especially when you’d rather collapse into your habits. Compromise is healthy, but not when it compromises you. Just like doing your own thing is healthy, but not when it tramples on the needs of others. Whatever you do, it’s important that you own it, my love. Make choices that you can stand by, no matter who knows what you’re doing.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
This week you’re likely to be wrestling with deep issues, so here’s a pro tip to help you out: do what’s right for you – not what you “should” be doing. You can’t do everything all at once, and you can’t be perfect. If you don’t think you have the right to do what you need to do, you’ll fester with resentments and get nothing done at all. Now that that’s cleared up, honour your need for change, and get out of your own way.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
If you survived last week’s eclipse without shaking things up, you may be feeling really anxious about now. There are so many paths that you can take, but they’re not all equal. It’s time to focus on your needs in the here and now, regardless of whether or not it feels easy. You deserve happiness, Aquarius. Honour the needs of your heart over the needs of your ego, even if it requires radical changes to your plans.
