Aries
March 21-April 19
If you’ve been burning yourself out, this week is bound to be pretty exhausting for you, Aries. Try not to take your stresses at face value as your perceptions may be a little bit off. Prioritize getting yourself centred, present and grounded. You are unlikely to have control, but if you are right with yourself, managing the rest of your life will become that much easier.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
While you don’t have enough information to go on currently, you do have the ability to check in with yourself and make sure that how you’re behaving reflects your values. This week, practice being the Taurus you want to be—and not the Taurus that’s easiest for you to be. In other words, strive to live up to the best in yourself, even if you’re having to deal with the worst in others. Taking a big picture approach to even your smallest moments will serve you in the long run.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Things may feel like they’re moving really quickly and it’s hard to keep up, Twin Star. This week is likely to find you being confronted with disappointments; this may be in the form of failures—or what you perceive to be failures. Check in with yourself about what’s truly important to you. You may be assigning greater value to things than is actually authentic for you. You’re developing true boundaries, but the process is likely to be sticky and confusing at times. Allow room for mixed feelings.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
It’s pretty tough to avoid stress and problems in life. What we can do is strive to make sure that our problems are a jumping-off point to improving ourselves and our lives. This week is likely to find you struggling to accept something that you don’t like. Instead of fighting it, prioritize trying to understand it, Moonchild. If you strive to fix something you don’t understand, you’re going to fall into some old patterns that don’t bring out the best in you. For best results, treat the things that bring you the most stress with gentle kindness.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Negative obsessions are powerful. If you’re looking for a fixed or singular answer you may find yourself especially stressed this week and fixated on worst-case scenarios. The truth that you’re seeking is likely to be more nuanced than super obvious. The problem is, if your mind is trained to focus on what gives you pain or panic, it’s hard to focus on anything else. Do your best to tend to your feelings of anxiety before you seek answers or direction, Leo.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This isn’t the time for avoidance, Virgo. The truth is that each of your individual experiences do not need to define you. Where to find you is how you choose to respond to, and cope with, the circumstances of your life. This week, it’s wise to get systematic about how you evaluate and approach your situation. Just make sure that as you do this, you skip the judgments and projections of the future, and instead evaluate what’s happening, and the most authentic and sustainable ways of engaging with it.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
When you don’t have enough information to make a call or you are struggling with uncertainty, it’s wise to fall back. Create space in your life to be present and grounded. You don’t need to know the answers, as convenient as that might be. What you really need is to determine what is true and authentic to you. From that place you can assess the choices and compromises you’re making. Prioritize gaining a comprehensive view of your situation and your role this week, Libra.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Even if you’re feeling impatient for things to progress, you may not be quite ready yet, Scorpio. This week is likely to find you cultivating greater clarity and having affirming experiences as a result. It is wise for you to centre your internal and innermost personal life, but if you rush external dynamics, you may find that things move quicker than you’re prepared to handle. Faster doesn’t mean better—take your time.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
It’s important that you refine your listening skills this week, Sagittarius. You may be seeing things clear as a bell and be ready to move things forward. This doesn’t mean that others are in the same position. Pay attention to where your friends, family and collaborators are. This is a bad time to rush or pressure people. If you want them to match your pace, take the time to really listen to where they’re at and what they need first. The progress you’re seeking will be best achieved through working with others, even if that slows you down or changes your course.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Your intuition may take you in directions that are uncomfortable for you. Your job this week is to stay checked in with what’s really important to you, Capricorn. If your actions reflect other people’s goals and convictions, how does that serve you? Life is a series of actions and consequences, options and choices. By staying aligned with your own values and ethics, you can still make mistakes, of course, but at least those mistakes are your own. Be brave enough to be true to yourself.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
This week you may encounter some disappointments. The good news is that it’s unclear whether what you stand to lose was good for you to begin with. Honour and nurture your feelings—but try to not obsess on your thoughts, Aquarius. You don’t need to understand all of the nuances of what’s happening all at once. Seek to cultivate balance by knowing when you’re capable of approaching things in a healthy way and when you need to hang back.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
If you lead with empathy and compassion you cannot lose. What is tricky is balancing those things towards yourself, others and circumstance. This week is a good one to practice staying firm in regards to your truth and at the same time holding space for how other people may feel about it. You don’t need to take on other people’s feelings in order to have empathy for them. Others don’t need to agree with you in order to have compassion for where you’re coming from. Lead by example even if it’s hard, Pisces.
