This is a good week to start something new, but you are also actively in the process of letting things go. This may sound contradictory on paper, but so many times in life openings require closure, beginnings overlap with endings, and getting what you want requires that you let go of what you don’t need. This week, you are being tested on how well you know yourself and how committed you are to moving toward growth and change, even when it’s hard.

It’s easy and often fun to chase a million different thoughts, ideas and plans, but this week, if you do that it is likely to lead to anxiety. Hunker down and clarify your priorities this week and trust that by doing so you are not deprioritizing any of the other things that you’re excited about or doing. Give yourself more fully to a couple of things right now and you’ll have more energy for the rest of them later, Twin Star.

Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, they’re unfolding as they are meant to. Sometimes, the things that you want for yourself are a reflection of habit, insecurity, or even other people’s expectations of you. This week is a wonderful time to explore what it is you really want and why. Dare to be brave and prioritize the things that you believe will bring you joy and peace, and allow yourself room to grow, Moonchild.

The foundations you lay now are meant to be just that: foundations. In other words, they are meant to give you stability. If you find yourself in a state of anxiety or uncertainty, remember that what you are doing is meant to be adaptable and doesn’t have to be written in stone. This will require that you don’t let your pride get too wrapped up in what you do or how other people feel about it. This may be challenging, but it’s an excellent challenge for you to take on, Leo.

Your ego is not a bad thing or a good thing, it’s just a part of the human condition. That said, when it’s too big or too small, you can end up acting in ways that make your life or the lives of others more complicated than they need to be. Strive to make sure that your pride and ego are functioning in proportion with your situation by tracking your emotions, what’s important to you in relationship to your triggers, and what’s activating inside of you, Virgo.

Slow down, Libra. This week is not the one to further overwhelm yourself with commitments, or, more importantly, pressure. Do your best to get grounded in the here and now, identifying the things that need the most attention and energy from you at this time. You are wrestling with too many details and it can lead to overwhelm and self-destructive thinking, all of which get in the way of your happiness and progress.

This is an important time for you to take a big-picture approach to all the things that are important to you in your life. The point of this is to consider not just the present, but also the future and all the ways that each of your goals and plans are interconnected with your overall happiness and success. While doing this, the trick is to not take on everything all at once. Within the sumptuous meal that is the big picture of your goals and hopes, you are meant to cut up each morsel into a bite-size piece so that you can chew on it and digest it, Scorpio.

As things change around you, you are being challenged to change deep within you. As exciting as this can be, it’s also likely to kick up uncertainty, and maybe even a little anxiety. It’s important that you honor your fears without convincing yourself that they are prophecies or predictions. How you engage with your fears and anxieties will have an important impact on you. Explore what’s possible while navigating what’s probable this week, Sagittarius.

It can feel like doing emotional work is a distraction or a waste of time, when in fact, tending to your internal landscape is the foundation for everything that is of real importance to you. Your ability to do the things that need doing and sustain the energy that they require is the project worth prioritizing this week, Capricorn. You don’t need to worry about what other people think as much as it is wise to focus on what you feel and the things that you need in order to sustain your efforts down the road.

You are moving through important emotional terrain and in order to get where you’re going, you’re going to need to navigate through old triggers and some painful content. This is not a punishment and it’s not a bad thing! Instead, it’s an opportunity for you to engage with old patterns in new ways, taking responsibility for what you prioritize and how you show up, instead of trying to prove yourself to yourself or anyone else.

This week, it’s important that you tend to the people, places and things that you’re invested in. It may be easy to get frustrated that things aren’t quite moving at the pace that you wanted, but this is not the time to rush matters or try to skip over steps. Instead, put your energy into the very things that you wish to see grow, whether they are internal conditions or external ones. If you make friends with the process, your progress will feel sweeter.
