The energy of the Full Moon in Scorpio this week will linger for days to come. You may feel like a pressure cooker of emotions. Instead of blowing your lid, try for a controlled release. A recipe for success: pause the political talk and maybe send a card to Mom, instead of just calling. Emotional anger simmers beneath the surface. We are all processing change on personal and planetary levels. You can work against it or you can consciously facilitate transformation. At what point does resilience begin to look like resistance? The choice is always yours. When life’s not easy, lean on empathy.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
You’re a regular dynamo with ruler Mars in Aquarius. When it comes to goals, play the game of hit-or-miss. You might strike out or strike gold. Either way, detach yourself from results.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
With ruler Venus in Gemini, you’ve got a finger in every pie. And while I do not believe that curiosity killed the cat, one thing I do know to be fact: being too fickle will make you fat. (Yes, I did rhyme that.)
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Tap into your common sense, fortified by ruler Mercury’s transit through Taurus. Don’t jump to any conclusions. Instead, speak deliberately, though not necessarily conservatively.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Everyday problems are sometimes the most difficult to decipher. With ruler Moon’s various juxtapositions this week, tune in to your natural intuition to counterbalance any tension.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
You enjoy the challenge of resistance. With ruler Sun in Taurus, your sense of determination is strong. Ask yourself, however, if your love of the familiar makes you less receptive to what’s possible.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Down-to-earth is exactly how you’d describe yourself. While that’s not always true, ruler Mercury in Taurus this week does ground you. Will you be in fertile soil or rigid rock?
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You are the Renaissance person, Libra, curiously competent in many things. Ruler Venus in Gemini encourages mental stimulation. Take John Waters’s advice: If they don’t have books….
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Feelings are like water: they can drown you or they can nourish you. With ruler Pluto conjunct the Moon, you may start taking on water. Find someone who will help you keep your boat afloat.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
With ruler Jupiter conjunct Saturn, you may find yourself at the limits of your current experience. Should you expand them or push past them into something new? Your fate is in your own hands.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
You may find yourself on the other side of an obstacle you never saw coming. What next? With ruler Saturn conjunct Jupiter, the time is nigh for expansion. Don’t let fear stop you.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Change is inevitable. That said, forcing change can be disastrous. Ruler Uranus square Saturn suggests that you be adaptive, not reactive. Start with what’s obviously no longer working for you.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – Mar. 20
Ruler Neptune square Venus creates a confusing reflection. You may seek attention to balance this lack of self-esteem. Don’t be so blinded by your needs that you can’t clearly perceive the intentions of others.
