There can be a fine line between standing up for yourself or taking a stand when needed and digging in your heels or being a bully. Check the motivations behind your actions this week, because they really do affect the energy with which you do the things you do. If you don’t have clarity about why you’re doing a thing, it may be best not to do it yet. For clarity, tap into your value system, Taurus.

If you’re feeling chaotic or anxious, it’s time to reconnect with your values so that you can make sure that your actions are consistently a reflection of them, Twin Star. You’re going through a major shift, and while it will serve you to practice non-attachment to outcomes and to accept other people for who and where they are, you also must take responsibility for who you are choosing to be within it all.

This is the wrong time to lock yourself in the past, Moonchild. As hard as it is to change, that’s exactly what’s on the menu. Take a creative approach to whatever struggles or problems you’re engaging with, especially when you feel stuck. There are always more than two options, and when you catch yourself thinking that there aren’t, you know that it’s time to take a beat and open up your perspective. Let go of what doesn’t serve you this week.

This week you may need to have a heart-to-heart with someone that you’re close to or navigate some sticky emotional terrain in a relationship that is important in your day-to-day life. If you’re going to fight, make sure that you’re fighting for something; ego disputes and defensiveness will create more problems than they solve for you. Seek collaboration and cooperation wherever it’s possible, Leo.

It’s important this week that you center the things you care about instead of your fears or obstacles. When you nurture what you want to see grow in your life and the world around you while tending to your responsibilities, you not only feel better, but you're likely to be more effective in all that you do. Lay foundations that reflect what you want to invest in creating this week, Virgo.

Things may not be where you wish they were, but it’s important that you don’t shut down, Libra. This week is all about communication, which includes not only how you say what you say, but how well you listen and to who. Do your best to uncover the truth, because whether or not you know about it, like it, or want to accept it, the truth is simply the truth. And when you can accept it, it will set you free.

If you find yourself feeling low or focused on what isn’t working this week, you’re not alone. The things that you’re struggling with are pointing you toward what needs attention, care, and a new approach. It’s time for you to change, but that doesn’t mean all at once. Even if you change in really productive ways, that doesn’t guarantee that your adjustment will be easy. Do what’s right because it’s right, Scorpio.

It may feel like people and situations are changing quickly, and that’s bound to have you feeling pretty overwhelmed this week, Sagittarius. There are many ways you can approach the people and situations that matter most to you, but if they don’t include nurturance, they are unlikely to really help you. This is a time when care and patience will be more effective and even more expedient than any other strategy.

So many things can go wrong and often do—that’s just life. This week, however, the best thing that you can do is focus on what’s going right. Identify your resources, your successes, your wins, and even your potential for those things. A pragmatic and life-affirming approach to the potential in your life and the world around you will help you more than any other mindset, Capricorn.

It’s hard to know which of your many instincts to rely on under the best of circumstances, but when you’ve been pushing yourself too hard and feel overwhelmed by other people's energies, opinions, or needs, it’s especially hard. It’s time to gather up your energy and cultivate greater intention about what you’re giving your attention to. Remember: responsibility is just acting on your innate ability to respond.

This week may find you struggling with loss or disappointment and that is absolutely no fun. That said, the best thing you can do is strive to cultivate acceptance and neutrality around your circumstances and how you feel this week. By doing this, you are creating the space you need inside of yourself to identify what you need and the best way to navigate towards that. It’s time for you to trust yourself, Pisces, and that requires that you feel your feelings, whatever they are.
