It’s all about relationships this week. You may be feeling impatient to change things up, but be careful what you ask for, Taurus. This isn't a good time to test people because everyone is feeling pretty stressed. Instead, bring your most patient self to your interactions so that you can truly listen to what others have to say about how they’re feeling. In this way you can cultivate an aura of peacefulness in your relationships—one that you can build on through good times and bad.

If your ego is maladjusted, you may act defensively when you’re trying to assert yourself. You may be afraid that you don’t actually have the right to advance your goals. Not only will this feel bad to you, but it’s likely to push others away just at the moment when you need their support the most. Assess your approach to your goals, and consider whether the energy that you’re bringing to the table is helping you or getting in the way, Twin Star.

You may find yourself having to deal with frustrations this week, and while that’s no fun, there’s a bigger picture at play. If you allow yourself to be swept along by other people's preferences or your own indecision, you risk losing sight of your own goals and needs. Find ways of working with and connecting to others that don't come at the expense of you being a good friend to you, Moonchild.

Trust your intuition because this week it can take you far. That said, trusting your instincts shouldn’t come at the expense of your common sense or your willingness to follow through and make things happen. If you don’t check in with your energy, your environment, and other important factors, you run the risk of starting something this week that’s simply not sustainable. Cross reference your gut instincts with your reality for best results, Leo.

While things may have been pretty busy recently, it’s important that you take the time this week to get grounded, Virgo. It may be tempting to want to make sweeping changes or to react impulsively to the situations you find yourself in, but this wouldn’t be wise. Start your year off by prioritizing your own peace. Cultivate your equilibrium before you look for answers or lose track of yourself by chasing distractions.

You are not known for having confidence in decision making, but this week you need to pick a side. Align yourself with the approach and values that feel best suited to who you are, and then follow through. Don’t allow fear of failing or making a mistake stop you from pursuing your truth, Libra. Whether you like it or not or whether it’s easy or not, your truth is true, and it will need to be dealt with one way or another.

The stressful situations you find yourself in this week are an opportunity for you to show up, Scorpio. This looks like honoring your emotions, being conscientious about who you share yourself with, as well as expressing and holding healthy boundaries. You’ve got nothing to prove, and there is no rush. Have the foresight to honor your big-picture needs over your most pressing emotions this week.

The worst thing you could do this week is get defensive or follow your knee-jerk reactions. Strive to cultivate patience as you sift through your feelings, thoughts, and needs. Things are changing quickly, and the way that this impacts the people around you is likely to be unpredictable. Don't exaggerate the severity of a situation out of fear or carelessness this week, sweet Sagittarius.

Make sure you’re taking time to relax, rejoice, and reflect this week. Sometimes the best way to make progress with a difficult problem is to turn away from it and immerse yourself in something lighter and unrelated. You don’t need a singular solution or approach to the things you’re feeling ambitious about. What you need is a sustainable approach and a nuanced set of solutions, my pragmatic friend.

This isn’t the time to be looking outside of yourself for answers. You’ve gone through a lot, and the stage you’re at now requires you to listen to your own self and apply the wisdom you’ve been working so hard to accrue, Aquarius. You don’t need to know what’s coming next to be able to figure out what's appropriate in the here and now. Choose life-affirming acts that reflect your values, even in the face of uncertainty this week.

If you fixate on your fears, it will work as a binding spell, bringing you closer to the things you wish to avoid. Get grounded, get present, and get real. It’s time to embody the changes you’ve been working towards, and the way to do that is by confronting difficult emotions and coping with them head-on. Freedom doesn’t mean “good vibes only.” It means having options. Choose to be brave this week, Pisces.
