If your ego is too small you can find yourself being taken advantage of or even struggling to feel like you are the main character in your own life. If it’s too big you risk alienating yourself from others and pushing them away by treating them poorly. The key is to have a balanced and healthy ego so that you can empathize with yourself as well as others. Understand that your success and happiness require balance and care - which includes both healthy compromise and boundaries, Taurus.  

The truth is incredibly important, and sometimes it helps to affirm you, while other times it challenges you, and then a lot of the times it's a mix of the two. This week, your anxieties are likely to be activated with Mars and Uranus meeting up in your sign, so don't go chasing down reasons why you feel bad. The medicine that you need is to identify what would be most helpful in supporting you to feel better. Let go of the compulsion to explain away your feelings and instead strive to nurture them, Twin Star.

The current astrology calls for your patience, and that is best achieved by getting grounded and sitting pretty with whatever is happening now and how it feels, Moonchild. You don't need to work out all the details, but it is wise to assess what's happening from a big picture perspective. Explore what you want, what is possible, and what needs more investigation this week. Take a chance on yourself by investing in getting present and prioritizing where you're at instead of rushing towards where you think you want to be.

You may be asked to change something significantly that you are not excited to change. Life is full of compromise and relationships are no exception to that. This week your assignment is to determine what compromises you can make in a healthy way, versus which ones cost you something that you're not willing to pay. What you desire is important, but other people's desires count too. Center your values and integrity when assessing your options, Leo.

When you’re looking to explain away your struggles as if that will magically fix them, you end up wasting so much mental energy ultimately trying to avoid the emotional work your situation calls for. This week do your best to let your values and your heart guide you as things are likely to be a little chaotic. You don’t need to track and contain —instead only try to receive and respond with as much honesty and care as you can, dear Virgo.

You may be confronted with some disappointments or losses this week and the truth is that things don't need to be perfect or even to be easy in order for them to be exactly where they're supposed to be. Do your best to honestly acknowledge the problems at hand this week so that you can determine the best possible approach – not to fix things, but to feel like you are in integrity with yourself around how you are coping with them, Libra.

Moderation is not necessarily a Scorpio’s primary trait, if you know what I mean, and this week, it's important to remember that too much of a good thing can turn that good thing into something that stresses you out. It's important that you have multiple ways that you can achieve calm, happiness, and even neutrality. If you lean too hard on any one resource, internal or otherwise, you're more likely to have trouble. Diversify the way you invest in your well-being and in fun this week for best results.

Can you let go of the narrative, release control, and still have hope? This week you are challenged to explore hope without attachment. If optimism requires a story, is it really optimism or is it fantasy? Some of your beliefs may be tested this week and it's important that you ask yourself some hard questions, explore the data you have, and the beliefs you hold. Keep an open mind and remember that a change of opinion doesn't need to cast doubt on all of your beliefs, Sagittarius.

Instead of obsessing about things that upset you, do your best to take a breath and slow down, Capricorn. Your assignment is to consider both the trees and the forest.  In other words, hold space for the details and the big picture at once. This strategy isn’t going to bring you immediate answers, but it will help to clarify the questions you should be asking to help you organize your priorities in both the short and long term. Take it slow and steady this week. 

There are your circumstances, your situations and your feelings, and they are all very important. But what I want to point your attention to this week is how you are holding them, more than how you got to where you are. In the here and now, your perspective, motivations and approach are inside of your stewardship while the past has already come and gone. Get present so that you can tap into your wisest instincts and act on them, Aquarius.

This is a good time for you to reflect on the patterns weaving their way through your life. As you explore this, it's important to consider how you engage with yourself, your circumstances and other people because your actions are within your stewardship. So much of how other people behave and your circumstances are totally out of your control. Lean into your agency and know how you want to navigate it this week, Pisces.
