ARIES
March 21-April 19
It’s not your struggles that define you, Aries, but how you rise to meet them. As you climb to new peaks of awesomeness in your quest for self-mastery, you are likely to trip over some stumbling blocks. Look before you leap and try to understand the nature of your adversities so you can get a better handle on them.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Your sign resists change largely because it makes you feel so out of control. This week you’re the one who is changing, but it’s the repercussions that are getting you frazzled. By letting go of your comfort zone, you may have caused a ripple effect of changes that are overwhelming you. You can’t run backward through that china shop, Bull, so just deal.
GEMINI
May 21-June 21
Your notions about family are being challenged, and if you’re waiting for someone to swoop in and magically fix all your problems, you’ve got another think coming. Who can you be the most real version of yourself with? Your family. Invest your energy and time with them this holiday season for best results.
CANCER
June 22-July 22
Do you know how to finesse holding your ground in such a way that you don’t come off as a pushy jerk? Sure ya do, but only when you put your foot down before you feel … crabby. Pay better attention to your own moodiness this week in an effort to avoid unnecessary problems between you and the ones you love.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
Asserting your boundaries doesn’t have to harsh your mellow. The only way to get what you want out of life is to be clear. Know your limits and what works for you, so that you can be unmistakable about it with others. You can’t control what they’ll do with that information, but strive to take responsibility for your part this week.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
It’s so much easier to keep it together when you’re all alone and can control what you concentrate on. Being around people is full of surprises, and you may not be in the mood. But don’t avoid people. Iinstead, strive to deal with *yourself* differently. Focus on the good in the folks around you, even when you’re annoyed this week.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Be careful what you wish for, Libra, ’cause you just may get it. Whatever it is that you’re really focusing on may be different from your surface mental chatter. Check in with yourself to make certain that you want goodness for you. If you have a hard time with that, surround yourself with the most positive folks you know and ride their example.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
You are finally ready to embody the changes you’ve been cultivating in your self. In the big picture of things, you’re on the right track. But that doesn’t mean the new and improved you will be well-received. As long as you are being true to yourself and cool with others, don’t let it deter you. Allow for growing pains.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
There’s the you in your head, and then the you around other people. Which one is the real Sag? Work toward incorporating these two parts of yourself. You have been feeling disjointed around your homies and like you’re missing a part of yourself when you’re alone. Integrate! Make the time you spend in either company more enjoyable.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Too much worry only puts creases on your brow. You are running over the same problems with the same fine-tooth comb, expecting to come up with new ideas or solutions. Not so much, pal. You are not in the control tower, so don’t even bother shouting orders up to the fool in charge. Just let it go for now.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You have to be nicer to yourself. The remedy for your anxieties is good old fashioned TLC. That stands for tender lovin’ care, but since you are such an individualist, I’m going to add a new meaning just for you: heal yourself with time, leniency, and compassion. It will help you to help yourself through your worries.
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
You don’t know who’s to blame for what, much less who deserves credit, Pisces. You have been growing and learning to take up more space in your own life, which is awesome. The only drawback is that you’re struggling with your fears of being responsible for things. Be willing to make mistakes,
and you won’t have as much to fear.
