Mercury quits its moonwalk on the 17^th at which time you can plan and process to your heart’s content.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

At a certain point you need to acknowledge the reality of your situation and work from there or all you’re doing is torturing yourself, Aries. This week it’s best if you drop whatever narrative you’re got running on loop in your head and deal with your feelings so you can finally move on. Cultivate acceptance, not details.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

To affect the quality of life you desire you’re gonna have to take some risks, Taurus. Your security isn’t based on the repetition of what’s worked in the past, no matter how the tried and true it may seem. Create safety in your life by being flexible and receptive this week.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

Look at the crappy stuff square in the eye, accept what you did or didn’t do to get it where it’s at, and then vow to change what needs changing. There is no point lamenting over the past or trying to alter other people, Gem. Focus your energy on changing who you roll with and the ways you participate with them.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

If you want to start your career, a relationship or a fitness regime in the middle you’re setting yourself up for failure, Moonchild. There must be a beginning for everything, a stage where you don’t know what you’re doing or how it will go. Be prepared to participate in the parts that come before you are confident this week.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Hope springs eternal but fear is like some sticky film that covers you up and leaves you untouched by the kindness of hopes’ warmth. This week optimism and positive thinking are the best medicines available to you. Be thankful for what you’ve got and don’t stop envisioning what you most want.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

The efforts you put forth this week will reap their greatest consequences six to nine months from now, Virgo. If you stay clear, flexible and determined about your goals you’ll be golden; spread your energies too thin and you’re likely to feel overwhelmed before much progress is made.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Making big proclamations and bold moves are well favored this week, but you may have to deal with some unwanted insecurities while you’re at it, Libra. The process of questioning yourself is healthy as long as you do it in a kind and compassionate way. Don’t let self-doubt become self-annihilation; discern instead of criticize.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

You have decisions to make, Scorpio, and this is not the week to put emotionally complicated matters off. You want love, connection and familial roots, but there are habitual choices you make that bar that from happening in the ways you want. Be willing to be changed in the process of loving. Don’t fear vulnerability.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

There’s a fine line between chaos and calamity, excitement and anxiety. Manage your inner world so that you can calm the parts of you that need it and act on the things that need adjusting. You are in a fertile time, Sagittarius, but you may need to simplify your self-care habits to get the most out of them this week.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Fear and its cronies (self-doubt, guilt, depression and inhibition) are here to teach you things, not to punish you. Notice how much energy you loose in those emotions and how they create self-fulfilling prophesies. Ask yourself what you are getting out of those feelings so that you can effectively dismantle them this week.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

There is a big difference between being all right and awesome, and it’s easy to settle for the former. Don’t accept stability if it requires you to settle for less than you’re capable of. Strive towards the recognition of your highest hopes and dreams. Don’t just expect the best, work towards it, Aquarius.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

You can spend a lifetime collecting tools but if you don’t actually use them, what’s the point? Remember to check in with yourself this week and try to identify what you need in order to take care of yourself. You have worked hard and are capable! Trust in the strength of your inner resources, Pisces.

xo

Mercury is still Retrograde. Don’t take misunderstandings personally this week.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

Trust your instincts, Aries. The time is right for you to be in touch with your gut feelings. You are on the verge of an opening and the more you trust yourself to accurately gauge your situation the more on-point your senses will turn out to be. Follow-through with your intuition this week.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Your sign tends to be pretty security conscious, so when your sense of safety is threatened it’s super hard on you, Taurus. Instead of directing your actions towards the safest bet, strive towards the most happiness and satisfaction you can attain. Learn from your fears of vulnerability this week.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

The best way to get into pointless and demoralizing fights is to loose track of your self this week. You risk being overwhelmed by other peoples’ energies and needs and you need a breather, Gemini. Take some space to get yourself together. It doesn’t matter who’s at fault if everyone looses.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

The stars are trying to teach you to accept change even when you don’t understand it, Cancer. You may need to mourn the passing of the old but don’t let your sadness block you from seeing the potential in front of you. Adjust your attitude and your willingness to be pleasantly surprised.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

You can’t change where you’re at by stomping your feet till you get what you want, Leo. Things may suck but the best thing you can do is regroup. Get in touch with loved ones and take care of your insides so you can make peace with what’s happening in your life; only then can you get to improving things this week.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Be courageous enough to get outta your head and into your heart this week. Get in touch with what you generally feel and especially what you desire. By connecting with your emotional drives you can better connect with others. Offer only what you have and ask only for what you are prepared to receive, Virgo.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Assuming authority over your life requires taking responsibility for what you do and how it impacts others, Libra. There’s no point in handing your power over or in pretending that you can do what you want and be untouched by how it affects your world. Take care of business to improve it for yourself and those you care about this week.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Look at the big picture, Scorpio. There is no use in obsessing on details, languishing in indecision or in choosing the things that you know from past experiences don’t work for you. Be willing to act in ways that will give you what you want even if you’ll only get it many months from now. Take risks for abundance.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

This is an excellent time to start new things. Because of Mercury Retrograde it’s important to double check that you understand other peoples motives and expectations and to re-read any contracts that you may have to sign. There is strong energy supporting you in opening up to projects and starting something new this week.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Make friends with uncertainty, Cap. There’s a trend running through your life and it requires you to have vision without attachment. Stay present with your hopes without being rigid in how things need to look in order for you to be happy. Life can be going your way even if it’s not as you’d have it be. Stay open this week.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

This week should find you gravitating towards what you love, what feeds you and inspires you. There is no need to hold back in efforts to protect your self, Aquarius. Risk being dynamically involved with people and situations wherever you can this week. Love and creativity are yours for the grabbing. Be courageous.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

You may have an agenda that’s not going as smoothly as you’d like, Pisces. Cultivate optimism that is rooted in a genuine interest in what your life is showing you. You do not need to like every crappy thing that happens, but you should strive to learn from what you cannot enjoy. Be open to happiness.

xo

Mercury is Retrograde! For the smoothest ride reiterate, simplify, and double-check, people.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

You are going in the right direction, Aries, and what a relief that is! This week please continue to believe in yourself and to channel your love towards the people and situations you care most about. Positive reinforcements will help all matters flourish; share the best of what you’ve got.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Reach out to the people or even the places that help you reconnect with what makes life worthwhile this week, Taurus. You are capable of great creativity but innovation isn’t enough to point your life towards where you want it to go. You need intimacy and love; open up and let it in, pal.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

Do not try to take control of your life this week. Don’t repair, control or convince anyone (including yourself), of your needs while you’re at it. Let your life reveal itself to you, Gemini. It’s not yet clear where things are going and only time will reveal how to best manage your opportunities and trials.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

In order to bloom you have to be willing to change, Moonchild. Be true to yourself as you figure out how to participate differently in old or familiar dynamics. This may require your willingness to suffer minor losses for your greater benefit. Take it slow as you shift things for the better this week.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Taking full responsibility for your life and the things you are committed it to needs to be priority-one, Leo. Your world thrives based on the delicate balance between how you’re handling the present in concert with what you’ve got on the horizon. Don’t invite anything new into your life this week.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

There’s no rush, Virgo! You don’t have all the information that you need yet, and you need to let things develop further, no matter how much you would like them to move faster. This week you should let people and situations reveal themselves to you. Pay attention to what you are shown and let it inform your plans.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

The thing that works about “the Secret” and other manifestation programs out there is basically this: where you focus your energy most intensely is where you reap the greatest gains. The problem with this is if you obsess on your fears you will manifest exactly what you least desire. Invest in best-case scenarios, Libra.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Meeting people in the middle is hard to do if one end is too demanding. Whether you’re dealing with a hard-ass or you’re the rigid one, strive towards compromise this week. In order for there to be a creative reshuffling you need to be willing to concede some of your preferences for the greater good.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Instead of fretting over what you can’t accomplish and what might go wrong, use your energy to find creative ways to stay in the game. You are capable of bringing things to the next level, but it will take both the willingness to trust in yourself and the courage to follow-through, be damned your fears.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

There’s no easy way to do what you’ve gotta do, Capricorn. The simple things are often the hardest to pull off, but also the most important. Be true to yourself and don’t make false compromises for the sake of what you think others expect of you. Let the future happen, and let it be based on your true self.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

You’ve got to do things in self-appropriate ways, Aquarius. If you achieve all of your goals but don’t feel good about it, it’s a wasted stab at success. This week, check to make sure that the way you are doing things is working for you. If you’re plagued by bad feelings even when things are going “well” you’re not doing something right.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

When you stop reflecting on what’s happening inside of you it’s easy to loose track of why you’re feeling what you feel. Instead of figuring things out, strive to reconnect to your motivations and inspirations this week. You may need to change your actions or your mind but only self-administered TLC will yield answers, Pisces.

xo

Mercury goes Retrograde on this week! It'll last from the 23^rd through March 17^th. Be patient with the inevitable misunderstandings and technology glitches. Don't fight it- work with it, people.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

Keep your thinking focused on building this week, Aries. Whether you are at the brainstorming phase, you’ve only got a floor plan or you are deep in construction, you have a lot more to execute on the material plane to get where you want to be. Vision, patience and perseverance will get you there.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

It is not cruel to be upfront with others. It often feels bad when someone corrects us or is super direct, but that doesn’t mean it is bad. This week, practice honesty in a compassion sandwich! Present what’s true for you with kindness and concern; don’t water down it to make it more digestible for others.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

Sometimes you need to risk your safety in the short term in order to create lasting security in the long run, Gemini. There are ways that you have been doing things that are familiar and therefore feel reliable, but they really bring you to the same brick wall time and again. Create steady foundations this week.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

The people closest to us tend to expect us to remain the same or to change in tandem with them. This week you are being challenged to be true to yourself, even if that means disappointing the expectations of others. Be yourself, and allow space and time for your life to adjust to your new and improved ways.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Connecting with what most nurtures you will help turn things in the right direction this week. You are changing and nothing will fortify you more than friendship, warmth and loving connection. Support yourself by leaning on others and you will see paths open up to you that will bring you where you need to be.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

You need to let go of something, Virgo, and if you do you will find that the room it creates is exactly what’s needed to let even better stuff to come in to. Stay open hearted this week as you experiment with different ways of relating to what you desire and the things standing your way.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Everybody is scared and often unconsciously trying to protect themselves from whatever demons they most fear. If things go wrong do not assume the worst, Libra. Take on the perspective that other folks are trying just as hard as you are to carve out some safety and happiness, and see how that changes your perspective.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

The worst tricks can be played on your heart by your own mind. Don’t buy any over-rationalized reasons for why you can’t have love and happiness in your life. Follow the will of your heart, even if you have an impressive list of reasons why that’s not safe. If love weren’t so valuable you wouldn’t be so scared, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

No matter how restless you are, don’t go stirring things up this week. Accepting people or situations as they are is hard, especially when you have super-sonic vision when it comes to perceiving potential. Acknowledge where things stand before you try to shove your vision down others’ throats just to have it backfire on you, pal.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Don’t add anything new to your plate this week, because it’s hard enough managing what you’ve already got, Cap. Let things develop before you make your next moves. You are not locked in to your commitments; you can always change your mind. Be patient and tolerate your worries about what comes next.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

When you have bad dreams or restless nights it’s generally your subconscious trying to work something out that you are unwilling or unable to look at with your waking mind. Try recording your dreams this week to help see what they are reflecting back to you. Repression will get you nowhere, Aquarius.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Be the agent of change, the plumber to your leaks, the landscaper of your own garden. This week you should strive to be pro-active in creating the circumstances you want instead of just wishing things were different. You have the raw materials; all you need now is enough self-confidence to use them.

xo

ARIES

March 21-April 19

The worst thing you can do this week is to react aggressively to your troubles. You are not going to help anything by attacking your problems or treating others as opponents. Clear your head and deal with your feelings before you unconsciously channel them at others and make things worse.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

It’s time to let go, Taurus. Things are going you’re way, and it would be easy for you to leave well enough alone, but that’s not the best course of action. Take responsibility for what you know and take some risks. Be authentic in all you do this week, even if that threatens to overturn your freshly organized applecart.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

You can’t control the world or your prospects. All you can reign supreme over is how you respond and manage your fears, hopes and actions. Try to regard the things that’re making you feel stuck as mere blips in the choose-your-own-adventure story that is your life this week, Twin Star.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

In order to move beyond your blocks you need to go through a tunnel lined with your own crap to get to the other side. Most of the time we get half way through, say “this stinks!” and high tail it the way we came. Bear through the painful parts so you can get somewhere healthier and happier, Cancer.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Sometimes you must take risks in the name of love. If you are willing to be a little choosy you can have a rich and rewarding personal life. This is the week to use all the tools in your box to help you figure out what can bring you fun versus what connections will birth real and lasting joy. Go for gold, Leo.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Oh indecision, you fickle friend! This week you just don’t know. Nothing can be done about it; it’s not a problem to be fixed. Let things develop before you make decisions that you’ll regret later, Virgo. The best you can do with your present uncertainties is to be interested in them without rushing to conclusions.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

You don’t have to go through the rough stuff alone, but you do need to decide what you need for yourself, outside of other peoples influence. Ask for help if you need it but don’t be lazy, Libra. Figure out what you can grow into versus what you won’t be able to tolerate in the long term.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

You need a crises to kick-start the kind of emotional transformation that will allow you to change what needs changing. Look at your oldest and deepest habits around sabotaging love, Scorpio. You want to be happy and connected; invest in uprooting the habits that inhibit you from flowing with your hearts desires.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

It’s hard to pick a path when so many seem like they’d be good options, but that’s exactly what you must do. Trust your instincts as you choose who and what you can devote your energies to, Sag. You are going to get returns on what you put time and care into, so don’t splinter your attention this week.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You may wonder if spread your wings and fly like the graceful bird that you are, will your wings turn out to be made of lead? You may go splat like so many fly’s on the windshield of life before you, Cap, but it’s better to try and fail than to decide that you’re not built for soaring or the wind is against you.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

This week you need to stay away from figuring out whose fault things are or picking apart dynamics between you and others. The problems you have are giving you the resistance that builds muscle; they can make you stronger. What seems like a biggest suck-fest may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

This week it’s wise to sit on your feelings, especially the bummer ones, because what they are trying to tell you will be easy to misinterpret. Let things develop and try not to sway them too far in any direction. You may need to change how you participate, or you may need to change you; let time tell, Pisces.
