Taurus
April 20-May 20
On the 11th there will be a new moon in your sign making this a really important week for self reflection, emotional development and self discovery. Confront your fears, Taurus. Look openly at what you’ve been most scared of. You may find that what you’ve been resisting is not actually as scary as you’ve convinced yourself it is. Big changes can happen in small moments. Step up and be brave enough to stay present with what needs adjusting, my love.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Learning how to identify and assert your boundaries is a glorious thing. Unfortunately, the people who you are communicating those boundaries to may not agree. When you have trained others to expect certain things of you, it’s only reasonable to assume that they will be upset when you change. Don’t take it personally if others are having feelings about your newfound voice. Allow space for others to adjust, just as you would need if you were in their position. Try not to see anything interpersonal as permanent this week.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
As you cultivate greater emotional intelligence and self-awareness you’ll likely need to take things at your own pace. This week it’s wise to be self protective by being patient. While you are making massive progress internally, it might not be right or you may not be ready to take that show on the road. Give yourself permission to prioritize what’s happening on the inside of you, Moonchild. If you’re prioritizing your big picture development, there’s no value in rushing before you’re ready. Honor your needs.

Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Thanks to the new moon in Taurus on the 11th, this week is a fertile one for beginnings. Because the seeds that you plants are likely to do well, this isn’t a great time for rushing or acting without consideration. In fact, the best use of this energy is for working on your inner self, Leo. Whether you need to adjust your attitude or you want to start new habits, remember that any change worth making starts within. You don’t need to fixate on pleasing or appealing to others if it comes at the expense of being true to yourself, my love.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
While you don’t have all the information or know what’s going to come next, this is still a wise time for action, Virgo. Consider how you keep in touch with and trust your intuition, this week. Can you make note of your instincts before you go about analyzing or picking them apart? You’ve been training for this moment. Trust your instincts and take some risks. As the saying goes,“a ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Stick to the plan, Libra. You know what you want and what you need, but you’ve been triple guessing yourself lately. While being adaptable in the face of changing circumstances and new information is wise, circling around the same points and never making a decision serves no real purpose. Success can look like getting what you want, or it can look like learning from a mistake. Don’t be so attached to your vision of what things “should” be, that you miss out on what it is.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This week’s new moon in your relationship house is likely to have you feeling ripe with potential. This is a powerful time to consider the differences between joy and pleasure—the first will permeate through your being and have a ripple effect through your life. The latter is valuable, life-affirming, and needed, but exists on more of a surface plane and will have a less comprehensive impact on your soul. Choose joy when you can get it, Scorpio. Prioritize it in your relationships, and then the things you do.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
With both Mercury and Venus in your relationship house, the potential for you to enliven your close connections is strong. If things have been going well lately this may look like having fun and reconnecting or deepening a connection. If things have been tough, this is a good week to hunker down and get real with people. If you’re willing to have the hard conversations, you can make meaningful progress this week, Sagittarius. Just show up, my love.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
If you’ve been running yourself too hard or taking in too much of other people’s opinions you’re likely to be in a pretty chaotic frame of mind this week. In honor of the Taurus new moon on the 11th, strive to slow down and connect or reconnect with your body, Capricorn. You probably have tons to get done, but nothing is worth compromising your health for. It’s not just about doing it, it’s about doing it right. Make sure that your goals include your quality of life and if they don’t, make adjustments now.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Be wary of projections this week. The people in your life may be right and they may very well be wrong, but if you care about them, it’s important that you listen to what they’re saying. Consider the value of collaboration and compromise or you may find that you are blindsided by the consequences. Meeting others in the middle and making adjustments is a meaningful way of investing in the long-term value of your connections, even if you think your way is better for all involved. Being ‘right’ is not always the most important thing, Aquarius.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
You can spend your whole life working on yourself but if you don’t put it into practice, you won’t benefit from the results. This week it’s your time to shine, Pisces. Boldly embody your truth, say yes to yourself and honor your own inner knowing. This is a time for taking bold action and life affirming risks. But even within this, you don’t need an all or nothing approach. True courage encompasses calm, patience and humility, my love.

Aries
March 21-April 19
The truth is true whether you want to accept it or not. It’s what you do with the truth that really matters. This week may catch you in your feels and hopefully that makes you more empathetic and patient with yourself and others, instead of too self involved. You’re likely to get a lot more information coming your way then you can totally use, Aries. Ruminate, explore and engage with what you’re being shown, so you can determine what the best course of action is.
