This week, the stars urge us to question tradition and routine. Not that we’re supposed to forget those things are important.
As the Sun enters a conjunction with Uranus, we become hyperaware of the fact that change is necessary. It’s as if the stars were shining a light on our values and routines, revealing things that need changing.
Yet with this occurring in the sign of Taurus, there’s simultaneously an emphasis on comfort and pleasure — pay attention to the pleasures that you take for granted just because they’re part of everyday life. What would happen if those just disappeared? How would we live without coffee, chocolate, and other creature comforts that we’re so accustomed to enjoying?
Take time to notice the ritualized comforts of this modern existence. Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Your ability to recover from tense situations is a good barometer of your mental health. Check in with yourself about your feelings. Notice that you may need a little extra time to process things.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
You tend to think it’s not necessary to verbalize your perspective — your actions say it all, right? Wrong. Don’t expect others to understand you unless you communicate clearly and directly.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Hard work and dedication to the cause will take you the extra mile this week. Spring into action, and you may be pleasantly surprised how it pays off.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
More than anyone, you should know how quickly a person’s feelings can shift and change. Unexpected joy may come from a momentary obstacle this week, or a fleeting feeling can change the way you see the world.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Be ready for the unexpected to come a-knocking. Something you haven’t planned for may force you to change direction. Make the best of it, and your pivot will prove to be worth the effort.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Commitment is a virtue — when you’re making it to a worthy cause. Your dedication and work ethic are admirable. You can move mountains as long as your drive and attention are moving in the same direction.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Beware big decisions this week. You think you want to start something new, but don’t let it be at the expense of your other goals. While excitement may make it seem worth the effort, keep in mind that what’s new may not last.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Don’t give in to fear. If you’re second-guessing your decisions, especially the big recent ones, that’s just because you need to plan accordingly. Take responsibility for your choices and stick with them.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Nothing worth doing comes easy. Hard work, dedication, and responsibility are what give any endeavor the fuel to grow. If you love what you’re working toward, the effort will be worth it.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
While unexpected changes might feel like a good thing this week, consider them with caution. They may just create more work for you than you realize.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Hindsight may be 20-20, but you don’t always know in the moment when something that’s happening is going to be life changing. Stay steady.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Maybe your routine is getting old, and you feel the need to spice things up. If so, start small. A spark can light the way and reignite your passion; a Molotov cocktail will not.
