Your weekly horoscope May 10 - 16, 2017

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Not everything that hurts is bad, and not all dynamics that feel good are healthy. Your relationships are organisms — they live and breathe, and require sustenance and care. If you ignore them or mistreat them they can grow in gnarled directions. Take stock of how you’ve been showing up with the people you’re closest to, Taurus. The first half of this week is an opportunity to have compassion for the people in your life, even as you assert potentially painful boundaries.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

It’s not enough to know what you are, you’ve got to know what you’re not, Twin Star. This week you’re in for a major lesson in boundaries, but it’s hard to know what’s enough, too much, or not enough, when you feel wonky about your own value. Prioritize being centered and grounded in your worth so that you can make the right call in love and work. Know your rights and your responsibilities and act in ways that reflect them. There’s so much to be gained from setting sustainable expectations.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

Something that’s been bugging you and tugging at your insides may become a crisis. If you are committed to situations that don’t really serve you, expect to have stuff come up this week that requires you to deal with that. Avoid being passive aggressive — if you’ve got something to say, spit it out. Just know that while you have the right to your feels, you’ve also got to own your part. If you’re asking someone to be honest about their part, lead by example.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

Expect the Full Moon on the 10th to kick up some family drama, Leo. You may have some old feels from the past come up with surprising strength, or perhaps a new situation will emerge. The key in any case is for you to show all the way up. If you’ve been acting in ways that aren’t true to you, it’s time to answer for them. It’s OK to say you’ve changed your mind, or that you’re wrong. The thing you shouldn’t do is to rewrite history, my love.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Be careful what you say, Virgo, because you’re likely to spend the first half of this week full of feelings that are scrambling your brain. It’s important that you honour the yearnings of your heart so that you don’t make mountains out of molehills. It’s easy to weave a narrative to match your feels, but that doesn’t mean that you’re telling a true story. If you slow down and take the time to investigate your heart, you’ll able to figure out what’s really going on for you.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Don’t let your fear of conflict distract you from the central issues in your relationships, Libra. You don’t need to be defensive in order to defend yourself, and things don’t need to be terrible in order for you to stand up. This week your ego is gonna get triggered, and it’s on you to not shut down or act out. Be present for honest conversations, even if they’re awkward and hard. Prioritize authenticity over accommodation, my love.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

The Moon is only full in your sign once a year, and it’s sweet for the rest of the world to see what it’s like to live with such intense feels, Scorpio. Take an actual break from the busyness of life and check in with yourself. If you’ve been holding it together it’s OK to fall apart for a minute. Prioritize your emotional wellness in high, my love. Don’t wait for something to trigger your feels before you take care of them. Show yourself a little love this week.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

Things are likely to get a little murky this week, ‘Tarius. Your feelings are likely to be all over the map and while that doesn’t mean that they’re unreliable, it does mean that you need to allow space for things to play out before you jump to conclusions. It’s not just OK to have limits — it’s essential. But it’s also really important to be informed. Breathe through your reactions so you can figure out what you really need to reach towards, and what you need to let go.

Capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Where do you belong, Cappy? You’re ready to be more involved with community or group ventures, but you’ve got to be mindful about the people and places you choose. This week’s Full Moon on the 10th is going to bring up all kinds of feelings about your place in the world. This is a fertile time for letting go of past entanglements and attachments, and for seeing things as they really are. This is the first step in a process of feeling more connected to others.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Where are you going, Aquarius, like really? This week’s Full Moon is an opportunity to get real about the track you’ve set yourself on. If you’re not happy with the choices you’ve made in recent months you’re likely to feel the weight of it now. It may be tempting to check out and lose yourself in daydreams and distractions but that would be a waste of an opportunity. Challenge yourself to make healthy decisions, even when disassociating seems easier. 

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

You don’t need to take on other people’s drama as a way of showing support. It’s not on you to know some magic solution that works ideally for everyone; all you need to know is what’s right and healthy for you. This week your mantra is “those are not my monkeys, and this is not my circus.” Manage your own sweet self, and let others do the work of figuring their own selves out, Pisces. Know your limits and honour them, my love.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

If you can accept that you totally are not in control of most things, your work gets a lot clearer. If you stop trying to fix things that aren’t broken, you can start unpacking what you need to let go of, my friend. The Full Moon on the 10th is an opportunity for you to release something or someone that you’ve been clinging to that you know is no longer right for you. Sometimes your task is to heal, and other times it’s about making a call and walking away.
