ARIES
March 21-April 19
Don’t wallow in what doesn’t work; right the wrongs that have been bugging you instead. Show some initiative this week, because you are on the verge of creating something sustainable and exciting. Whatever discouragements you encounter along the way are meant as teachers, not punishments, Aries.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
The worst thing you can do is be rigid this week. Own what you’ve got without assuming your way is the only truly good way. It’s also possible that you may have to contend with someone who’s acting out in a rigid or bullying way towards you. Either way, the answer’s the same; be true to yourself and collaborative with others.
GEMINI
May 21-June 21
Things will go your way this week if you can avoid the pitfalls of anxious thinking, Twin Star. Instead of weaving tales of woe to make sense of your fears, try first calming your worried mind, and only once that’s been achieved look for the roots of your discomfort. You’re on the right path; so don’t worry yourself off of it.
CANCER
June 22-July 22
The problem with running away from something is that you end up running towards something else; this is an awesome thing when done intentionally, but when you do it by default it can turn into a mess pretty quickly. Don’t confuse your rash impulses to avoid discomfort with the vision of a clear heart, Moonchild.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
When things don’t go according to plan it’s easy to slip into despair, but don’t do it, Leo! There is so much developing that you can’t yet understand, and the worst thing that you could do this week is loose hope, or try to micromanage their development. Take some time alone to gather yourself and give others some much-needed space.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Emotional pain sucks of course, but it can also be deeply motivating. This week you shouldn’t run so fast from bad vibes that you miss the opportunities that they’re trying to reveal to you. Take your cues from what’s going wrong in your life to figure what could be awesomely right, Virgo.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Pack it up, but don’t go home; this week you need to close out some long developing situations, but that doesn’t mean it’s all over. Closure is needed before you can successfully start a new phase, Libra. You run the risk of dragging all kinds of baggage around with you if you don’t do a little spring-cleaning this August.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
You need to get it together and take full responsibility for your actions, Scorpio. There’s no value in assigning blame for your life’s troubles; when shit gets real, it also gets vulnerable, and there’s nothing to be done about it. Go long and steady this week, and trust in the broader vision that inspired you in the first place.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
If you impulsively jump into things this week, you may be running away from more than you’re running towards. Make certain that you are honest with yourself about what you are trying achieve before you all go all balls to the wall over them. Be true to yourself and success will be yours, Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
This week is a great one to take some risks, Billy Goat. The trick will be in doing so in a self-appropriate way, and not pushing too far or fast. Check in with yourself and stay honest about where you’re at. It’s not as much about what you’re trying to achieve as how you’re going about it; tread intentionally.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You’re at high risk for assessing the potential in your life and coming up with storm clouds and crappy days, Water Bearer. Don’t let pessimism and uncertainty color your perceptions and turn something lovely into something sinister. Take your time to let your ideas develop, but don’t stop your forward motion.
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
It’s all about your mental dexterity this week, Pisces. Be open to new ideas, and go as far as you can into analyzing potential possibilities. You need a clearer vision of what you want for yourself, and what it’ll take for you to achieve those goals. Plan, communicate, and delineate for best results.
