When things don’t go your way, you can see it as evidence of having a craptastic life, or you can see it as an opportunity to do something new. It doesn’t always feel like it, but the choice is yours. This week will kick up interpersonal themes that were active in late November — if you haven’t created more freedom since then, you’re likely to feel trapped this week. Don’t make rash moves to change your situation until you understand your own hand in creating it, Aries.

It’s time to get things done, Taurus! You will likely have lots of opportunities emerge this week, and that’s super exciting. The things to remember is that you’ve got to vet them, not sit on them too long or act without foresight. The tricky thing is that what things look like on the surface are not necessarily what they are, so don’t be afraid to ask questions and make sure that you know what you’re getting yourself into. This is an excellent time for thoughtful action.

People love talking about their fear of failure, but what about their fear of success? The pressure doing well puts on you can be so intense because expanding requires you to challenge your notion of yourself. You’re poised for prosperity, but you may also be feeling overwhelmed and like hiding under the covers this week. So ask for help! Reach out to people you know and trust who are successful, and if you don’t know anyone who fits that bill, it’s time to make new friends, Twin Star.

There’s a tension between what you need and what you want, and it ain’t pretty. Your task is to be honest enough to know that you’ve co-created the dynamics you’re not happy with, Moonchild. By owning your part, it becomes easier to see what needs to change without defensiveness or guilt. Make changes this week — even radical ones — as long as you’re OK with the consequences, whatever they may be. Put your integrity before convenience.

It’s OK to need a break from time to time, Leo. This week you’re on call to come back to yourself, but that’ll require that you’re first honest about how much you’ve been fakin’ it. There’s great wisdom in the “fake it till you make it strategy,” but it’s not always applicable. You can’t always be happy and successful, and feeling cruddy doesn’t mean that you’re failing — the only way to truly fail is to not learn from your experiences. Get grounded and honour your feels, my love.

Freedom can be a fickle friend. I mean, you’re free to do whatever you want, but that doesn’t mean that you‘re free from consequences. It’s time to confront the illusions you’ve been holding about what “should” happen and start dealing with what is. It’s tempting to think that a more perfect understanding will aid you in creating a more perfect life, but what good is all the data of the world when you don’t accept it’s findings? Assimilate, integrate and challenge yourself to think expansively this week.

If you’ve been making compromises that nobody asked you to make, or worse, that nobody knows you’re making, then you may be feeling really frustrated about now. Expect the ways that you’re feeling hemmed in to rise to the surface, and if you’re not confident about the value of what you’re doing, this won’t be fun. Instead of impulsively selling the car and house and stumbling into the woods to finally live off the grid, take a pause, Libra. Adjust your actions to better reflect your truth without trashing things this week.

It’s possible that your dreams are screaming at you, Scorpio, so make sure to pay extra attention to them. This week something that you’ve been keeping tucked in your subconscious is ready to break free, and you’d better let it. Create space in your week to slow down and listen to what your inner voice is telling you. If you’ve gotten off track, now’s your time to correct course. Take on a little extra work now to have a better life later.

This is a great time to make use of all you’ve learned, ‘Tarius. You’ve been working hard on yourself, and if you take the time to reflect on your progress, this week is a good one to solidify your plans. You’ve got some potentially tedious work in front of you, and if you can connect with the big picture, you’ll be able to stay motivated. Secure your motives to help you get on board (and stay there!) with your work.

Making plans for world domination is kinda your thing, so no one will be surprised this week when you’re caught up with your master plan. If you’ve been driven to chase success without exploring what that really means to you, you may find that you’re working hard but not getting to enjoy the benchmarks of your accomplishments. Align yourself with what gets you up in the morning because this life is yours, and it’s time for you to enjoy living it.

Change just for the sake of change is tempting but potentially ill-advised, my friend. This week you have the potential to see things more clearly, but it will require that you explore things without looking for answers — only truth. The difference is that answers are a course of action, and they consider all components of your situation. The truth is often messy, and knowing it doesn’t always make things easier in the short-term, but it’s there waiting for you anyways. Prioritize self-knowledge, and only make decisions based on that, my love.

Venus retrogrades back into your sign this week, and that’s a mixed blessing for you. The issues that you were dealing with Jan. 4 through Feb. 4 are likely to return, so pay special attention to money, relationships, beauty and what you value. Venus has the tendency to be a people pleaser and maintaining diplomacy over all else — don’t fall into her trap, Pisces. Locate your authentic self within those themes, and create a more lasting inner peace from there.
