Taurus
April 20-May 20
Don't conflate diplomacy and dishonesty, my love. This week's full moon in your relationship house is likely to stir up deep feelings. You may find yourself in situations that require you to clarify your boundaries. It may be tempting to err on the side of diplomacy and soften the edges of your truth, but don't do it. The more authentic you can be with others, the better chance you have of cultivating intimacy and collaborations that you want to grow into, Taurus.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
You're creating foundations in life that’ll build a healthier and happier you. While the outcome is likely to be lovely, the process may be quite stressful. As you explore new ways of behaving in the face of old, entrenched habits, you're likely to bump up against the limiting beliefs that got you here in the first place. Take your time to do it right, Twin Star. The groundwork you lay now will serve you for a long time to come.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
This week you are likely to find yourself obsessing and no good can come from it. If you find yourself reliving an upsetting situation, know that you can just put it down. When your thoughts fall into destructive patterns, it’s a good idea to fixate on something neutral. This kind of approach will help you change the narrative so that it's easier to change your feelings. It's time to let go of what isn’t serving you, Moonchild.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
You are going through a period of development meant to teach you boundaries. While asserting them can be hard enough, sometimes the hardest part is figuring out what they really are. It’s important you try to figure out what your needs are. If you indulge your reactions and the pettiest part of your preferences, you won't be especially happy with what you get, Leo. Prioritize the big picture of your development over getting things done quickly this week.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This week you may find yourself feeling pretty tapped. If you've been running yourself too hard, taking on more than you can process or are just plain tired, you may need to take an intentional emotional break. Slow down and be alone with yourself, even if only for an hour. It's in the quiet moments that you're most likely to fortify yourself and cultivate the clarity that you've quite honestly been working too hard to achieve. As you strive to achieve balance, think of it more as complementary to your growth.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Whether it's because you have changed or it's the other person who's different, your relationships need to evolve, Libra. Change is inevitable in a life well-lived, but it does put strain on relationships, especially ones where there are many expectations. Make sure that you're not trying to keep others locked in a place that they have grown beyond or letting others do that to you. While it's uncomfortable, it's a process worth engaging in.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
On the 26th there will be a full moon in your sign and that means that you're likely to be feeling pretty intense, Scorpio. You may have a need that sits in contrast with someone you care about, or you may be in a situation that doesn't feel quite right. In any case, what you ultimately need is to decide to cope with your feelings before you deal with the situation at hand. Don't act on your defences unless you want drama. Some of what you're feeling is your own stuff and some of it is specific to your situation. Be intentional this week, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You may need to determine what your role has been or what others have or haven't done, and that's fair. That said, don't focus on what everyone else is or isn't doing as a way to avoid taking responsibility for your own part, or sitting with the difficult emotions you may be having. Tend to each moment with as much presence and patience that you can muster this week, Sagittarius.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
It's time to tap out, Capricorn. This week is likely to find you feeling pretty burnt out, which will incline you to feeling agitated, assume the worst or just be off. The lesson here is to know your limits. Give yourself the space to recalibrate. This may require acts of "selfishness," but it's totally worth it. Let others know where you're at and what you need even if it feels really vulnerable or disappoints them.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You're an air sign, and a quick one at that. While you are able to make connections and comprehend things quickly, that doesn't mean other people process things the same way you do. While you may have been totally clear with your needs and what you had to offer, that doesn't mean that others heard what you meant for them to hear. If you find that the way you have communicated wasn't effective, don't take it personally. Just keep trying, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
You're going to need some patience this week, Pisces. It may feel like there's more that you don't know and this may have you tempted to draw the most anxiety-inducing conclusions. When things aren't as you wish they are or you don't know what to make of your situation, this is a good time to notice the assumptions you make. Self-fulfilling prophecies will get you in trouble, so will sticking your head in the sand. Give yourself the space you need to feel your emotions and get to the truth.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Being optimistic is a beautiful thing, but when it veers into realism, it can get you into trouble. This may find you on a roller coaster of emotions as you fluctuate between expecting the very best and the very worst. The key is to allow yourself to have intense emotions, which is no easy task. What will make it easier is if you remember who you are and strive to centre the presence of overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Do your best even if you're feeling your worst, Aries.
