On the 18th your ruling planet, Venus, goes retrograde, and that means it’s important to look out for old patterns showing up in new ways. Don’t get fixated on what other people are saying or doing, Taurus. What you say and what you do are truly what's important this Venus retrograde. Strive to engage in your relationships in ways that reflect your values and help to create the world you want to live in.

On the 18th there is a Full Moon in your sign, making this a really important time of the year for you. You've done so much growing this past year, and now it's time to embody the changes you’ve been trying to make. Unfortunately, this may feel stressful, as the evidence of what you’re outgrowing is likely to show up. Not all of your relationships are likely to survive this transition, and as sad as that may be, it’s also okay. Own your progress, Twin Star.

If you’re feeling stymied or like things just won’t go your way, it’s important that you don’t take these emotions at face value. There will be a Full Moon in Gemini on the 18th, and it’s stirring up some heavy emotions in everyone. Take inspiration from the words of Robert Stevenson: “don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.” Focus on strengthening the intentions behind your convictions this week. This may not be the time for harvest, but that shouldn’t undermine the importance of your growth, Moonchild.

It’s easy to see what you don’t have and to find evidence of it everywhere you look. That said, the things you want are not always the things that you need. Consider the opportunities that may exist in not getting what you want, Leo. I know this sounds annoying, but the truth is that you don’t yet have enough information to know if the objects of your desire would actually bring you the happiness that you seek. Be willing to accept what you actually need this week, my passionate friend.

At the end of the day, your choices define you. It’s important that you live in ways that are honest and authentic to you. This week you may find yourself in a position where you feel that you have to choose between your own desires or ambitions and the comfort or needs of others. Carefully consider your actions before embarking on them. This is not a time to act out of fear or scarcity. Strive to find ways of being true to yourself that are not at the expense of your values, Virgo.

Your ruling planet, Venus, goes retrograde on the 18th, and that may have you feeling pretty turned around. If intense emotions come up, don’t recoil from them, Libra. Instead, strive to sit with your emotions, at least for a little while. If you are willing to be present through discomfort, you can find more peace, as paradoxical as that may sound. Show up for heartfelt transformations, which may very likely be accompanied by uncomfortable realizations this week.

I know it can be awkward to communicate emotions, especially because yours run so deep, but it’s really important that you tell others how you feel about them. Your relationships have been in a meaningful state of flux, and it’s important that you show up for them this week. If you're waiting for others to make the first move or create the progress you want to experience in your connections, then you may not be actively taking responsibility for your own participation. Anything you lose from being honest, you never really had to begin with, Scorpio.

The Full Moon on the 18th will fall in your relationship house, and that means your interpersonal life is getting lit up this week. Change is inevitable, but you have agency around how you choose to engage with others and the world around you. You may need to pivot in a serious way, and even if it’s difficult, it’s totally worth it. Consider the big picture of the dynamics you’re engaged in so that you don’t overreact to the little things. Show up, even if things get awkward, Sagittarius.

You’ve worked hard to get to this place, and now that you’ve arrived, in classic Capricorn fashion, there’s still more work to do. This week, your assignment, whether you choose to accept it or not, is to embody the changes you’ve worked so hard to create. As you do this, people are likely to notice, and that might make them uncomfortable. Have grace for others' adjustments to your new behavior; you’ve had more time to get used to the new you than they have. All beginnings include endings, my love.

There are many levels and layers to most things. This week, it’s essential to tend to the innermost layers of the things most important to you. If you place too much focus on what’s happening on the material plane, you are likely to lose sight of what’s truly valuable, or worse, become limited by perceived scarcity. There comes a time when the most impactful work we can do is behind the scenes and deeply internal. Don’t be scared to step into the silence this Full Moon week.

Self-care starts with self-reflection. When you feel anxiety or overwhelm, self-reflection is a foundational necessity. This week, strive to greet difficult emotions with empathy and patience. This might be difficult, as habits for disassociating from unpleasant feelings are likely to emerge. Don’t confuse self-regulation with self-abandonment; stay present with your emotions for long enough to understand what they're telling you about your needs, Pisces.
