Aries (Ram): March 21–April 19.
It’s no secret you like healthy competition, but this week you may want to consider your definition of what is healthy. Relationships, new and old, will be a source of friction and to be mindful of your treatment of others will take you far over this week. Do not lose the passion that forms your uniqueness but know that most times winning isn’t everything. You may save yourself irreparable damage.
Taurus (Bull): April 20–May 20.
Times have been hard for you lately. Sudden changes and chaos in personal or professional life have rocked your boat to new limits. The good news is the light at the end of the tunnel is closer than it appears. How to get there? The shortest route possible is self-care, gentle bull. Spend your week drinking in the pleasure of the world around you. Get some alone time if you can and your shaken up spirit will begin to find its center again.
Gemini (Twins): May 21–June 21.
Not many know this about you, but you have a deep and loving side. It can be hard to show it at times, but by carefully evaluating the people in your life you may find there are a few souls out there you can safely reveal this to. This week will lead to more changes and having friends you can share your real self with, and it will be a tool for you to lean on as each adjustment works its way into your life.
Cancer (Crab): June 22–July 22.
What an emotional rollercoaster ride you have been on! The good news is that the rough bits are worth it in the end, but the race isn’t over yet. There is more ahead of you waiting to challenge you in seemingly new strange ways. Rest assured though, because these new challenges are just like the old ones in disguise. Go into your week with confidence and know that you are a capable person with more skills at your disposal.
Leo (Lion): July 23–Aug. 22
Leo, let your creative juices flow this week! You have so many beautiful thoughts bursting inside of you it will be impossible to contain them. Beware though, this week you will also encounter more responsibilities and other perceived burdens. Don’t let your creative journey distract you from the day-to-day.
Virgo (Virgin): Aug. 23–Sep. 22.
Just breath. Your mind has been going a million miles a minute and you’re exhausting yourself. Tell yourself this week “there will be time” and practice any breathing, meditation or mindfulness exercises you know. Remember that it’s okay to slow down, you will thank yourself for it later.
Libra (Balance): Sep. 23–Oct. 23.
Teamwork and partnership are important to you. Some may say you are too dependent on others, but you get a sense of joy when feeling connected with others. This week you may need to trim the hedges, though. Some connections you have made have gotten tangled and overgrown. Perhaps it’s time for some light maintenance and setting boundaries.
Scorpio (Scorpion): Oct. 24–Nov. 21
A natural-born rebel, you come across as a passionate “man on a mission” type. What everyone may not know is that you are a rebel without a cause. Choose your battles well and silent protest this week, it may serve you well to ask yourself how important your cause is. Your depth and intelligence will help you discern the truth and move forward.
Sagittarius (Archer): Nov. 22—Dec. 21.
You will experience great news this week and new opportunities to better yourself. Watch your emails, the news and messages from the universe. Times may be tough starting a new year, but the world will give you everything you need to succeed, you just need to watch for the signs and grasp opportunities as they come.
Capricorn (Ram): Dec. 22—Jan. 19.
Communication is not your strong suit this week. Being hardheaded, open your mind to conversations and new ideologies. Your stubbornness has helped you in the past and if there is anyone standing in the way you move right past them. But for this week, those coping methods may not be in your best favor.
Aquarius (Water Bearer): Jan. 20—Feb. 18.
With an analytical mind and an independent soul, you are one with the world. Being easy-going and assertive, you stick to your guns and have a hard time changing your mind when things are set in stone. Focus your energies on bettering yourself this week, whether that be meditation, working on yourself, or cleaning up a bit.
Pisces (Fish): Feb. 19—Mar. 20.
Swimming through life with ease and flexibility, you are laid back and will go with the flow. Life will come easy to you and during the week, but there may be challenges ahead. Don’t fear, as long as you go with the flow, everything will work itself out.
