Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Finding and speaking your truth is a healthy and wonderful thing. Being aligned with what is authentic and true for you has no downside. What it doesn’t guarantee, however, is that you’ll get what you want from it. This week may present you with some delays, upsets or disquieting situation‘s. Grant others the same space that you needed to come to your own clarity. Strive to focus on your internal process instead of your external progress this week, even if you’re feeling demoralized, Libra.

You’re going through a period of meaningful and deep emotional transition. While this is ultimately a healthy and life-affirming thing, it may feel difficult. Don’t confuse what’s hard for you with what’s wrong with you, Sagittarius. Embrace the uncertainty of the unknown. You’re not meant to have the answers or to see the future. All that you need to do is show up with kindness and patience. Don’t let fear inspire you to shut down, my fiery friend.

Sometimes not getting what you want or not having things turn out the way you expected is a gift. Consider whether what you’ve been seeking is actually too small, or something that you’re not passionate about. This week you’re likely to feel confronted by the emptiness of the goals that you’re holding because of how they look instead of how they feel. Don’t let your ego drive you in a direction that doesn’t yield true success, which must include happiness, Capricorn.

Don’t take challenges personally, Aquarius. When things go wrong or you don’t get what you want that is not the definition of a failure. The only way to truly fail is to learn nothing from your experience. This week you may not have what you want but you actually have what you need. Do your best to look for patterns that are reoccurring in your life so that you can see the overarching lesson or opportunity at hand.

If you’ve been vacillating between idealistic hopefulness and anxiety fueled worrying, it’s time to slow down and get grounded. Just because something is taking longer than you expected or you’ve run into delays or the need to work harder, doesn’t mean that things are going in a bad direction. Look out for the patterns running in your life so that you can see your own participation and get more out of even the most annoying parts of your life, Taurus.

You’ve been going through an emotionally difficult time and there’s a bigger picture reason why this is, twin star. It’s important that you learn how to stay with your emotions, even when they’re upsetting, instead of jumping into your mind.

This week is all about maintaining your boundaries. In order to do this in the real world, you must be adaptable and flexible without losing track of who you are and what your limits and needs are. This can be a lot in the context of a busy life! Don’t worry so much about what will happen and focus instead on what it is. This means staying present and honouring what you do now, even when you’re worried about what you don’t, sweet moonchild.

Being goal oriented is wonderful, but fixating on your ambitions, or worse everything related to your ambitions, obscures clarity, slows down progress and is generally frustrating. Keep going, Leo, but don’t get so distracted by the details that you miss out on the big picture. Remember that enjoyment is part of success and if you can look for things to be grateful for or you can play with, you’ll be on the right path.

I know this is difficult advice to take, Virgo, but this is not a good week for figuring things out. The trouble is that you don’t have a clear emotional perspective of the information that you do have, and you can’t know what you don’t yet know. Instead of assuming the worst, change tactics. The best way to do this is by tending to your inner world and cultivating the ability to stay present when things are uncomfortable or even distressing.
