Aries
March 21 – April 19
You’re learning to be independent because you can, not because you have to. There’s a difference between being in survival mode, grinding every day so that you don’t fall behind and risk failure or punishment, and making your own choices because you enjoy your company and recognize the talents and skills that you bring to the table. You don’t have to be a lone wolf or a workhorse to be yourself, and those unhealthy ideas should be put to rest.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Emotional conversations can be had throughout the day. Maybe you historically struggled to put your feelings into words, preferring to run from the problem or to shut down instead of attempting to tell others what you were going through inside. This must change in order for you to lead an emotionally healthy life! The more that you practice genuine communication with others, the more your loved ones should be able to understand you on a deeper level. Don’t shy away from speaking up.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
You might worry that you’re losing your identity within a group. While you may feel very connected to them and secure within the community, you shouldn’t have to do everything together or all have the exact same outlook on life. If others insist this is necessary, take a step back. Life is beautiful because of all the different perspectives that we bring to the table, and whenever you feel your personal identity getting smothered by others, it may be time to express yourself more.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Optimism doesn’t have to be unrealistic right now. You may have been catastrophizing lately, putting yourself in negative outcomes of a situation that hasn’t happened yet, preventing yourself from realizing just what could be possible for you if you took a leap of faith. While it can be challenging to break negative thought patterns, especially after past struggles or inherited pessimism from others, it’s important to break these mental chains for yourself. Instead of wondering what could go wrong, ask what could go right.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
You’re learning to be your own person — and what exactly that means. It may have taken some time for you to reach this stage in life where you feel comfortable expressing your true identity and who you are inside. Maybe you’re able to express yourself to loved ones, but haven’t announced certain aspects of your soul to the world yet. Do your best to give yourself room to grow while still honoring the parts of you that have already bloomed.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Travel can offer you a unique perspective on your goals in life. You may have thought that you knew what you wanted as a life plan, but after stepping outside of your backyard, you discovered that there is more to life. It’s okay to rethink your previous plans! Instead of letting yourself feel stuck or too invested in your past path to make a change at this time, consider allowing this fresh angle to guide you wherever you feel called.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You’re learning updated ways of being strong. Perhaps at some point, you were told that you had to be physically strong or a steamroller of a person to get where you want to be in life. Thankfully, you’re now in a space to understand how a softer approach can still yield impressive results. Sensitivity, patience, and empathy might not be in the stereotypical picture of power, but the inner strength they require is breathtaking — and their positive outcomes speak for themselves.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Stability creates a framework for freedom. You may have felt boxed in by schedules in the past, preferring to live a freeform life, but having no boundaries or plans may come back to bite you at any moment. It’s important to make sure that there’s some routine in your life so that you have a safe foundation. You can then invite others to share your life with you. Otherwise, life can be as turbulent or still as the ocean, with no warning either way!
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
You’re able to see your flaws as strengths today. You might have had the wrong idea about yourself, whether caused by past critiques from others or your own overly high standards. Either way, you’re finally ready to acknowledge how those old issues can support you in new ways. What was once an anchor weighing you down is now a propeller driving you toward your dreams, transforming a previously unmotivating situation. Don’t wallow in what you think is your failure — turn it around into success.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Thinking outside the box can strengthen your relationships of all kinds. It can be difficult to make time for socializing in this day and age, and even harder to make two different schedules work together. Whether it’s a new person or someone from your past, look for a way to make it easier on both of you — maybe by meeting halfway or using your time together to work on a project and catch up simultaneously. After all, many hands make light work!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You’re getting in touch with your soul more regularly. Perhaps you once ignored your feelings in favor of pushing them down and marching toward your goals. Don’t forget that eventually, those emotions have to come out somewhere! Without a healthy way to release them, you’re creating a pressure cooker that could explode with emotion at any moment. Meditation, journaling, and talking with someone who understands what you’re going through are all good ways to ease the risk of that building pressure.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Overthinking isn’t your best option at present. You might have spent too much time in the past deliberating over your decisions, big or small. However, a new energy has arisen in your life that may be encouraging you to go with the flow more frequently. You’re allowed to listen to your first thought instead of spending endless hours trying to decide what path you want to take. Don’t rush yourself, but give yourself the freedom to make a snappier decision, especially with the small stuff.
