We have an extra day on hand this trip around the Sun, and we just may need it to get through the bumpy transition out of a particularly harsh conjunction among the Sun, Saturn, and Mercury.
Each sign will feel the effects of this moment differently, but we’ll all likely feel some anxiety and restlessness as we confront our limitations. Due to a sextile of these three heavenly bodies with ever-jovial Jupiter, whatever comes of all this — perhaps the dumping of some pesky bad habits? — there will be opportunities for growth.
Meanwhile, a conjunction between Venus and Mars means that you might find an outlet for the aggression and frustration you’re feeling by indulging in something beautiful. Try to focus on the arts: paint something, keep a journal, do that winter reading you’ve been meaning to do, write poetry.
Whatever art you choose to pursue, it will be rewarding and will keep you from more destructive impulses like getting back together with your ex. This goes double for Aquarius, Pisces, and Taurus.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Now is a rare time when overthinking is a good option for you. If you’re about to be quick to make up your mind about something, pause and look at it from another angle. Hasty actions aren’t recommended this week.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
It’s not your nature, but try to contemplate how your values may be acting as roadblocks. Comfort and indulgence can be limiting if you’re overdoing them. Everything in moderation.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
It can seem difficult to make the right choice sometimes, but you don’t have to weigh every option with scientific precision. Trust your intuition. Your gut knows what to do; stop overcomplicating it.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Conflict may get in the way of new opportunities for you. Remember that although your claws are sharp, not everyone is your enemy. Let your caring nature come through and turn foes into friends this week.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Give yourself a break this week. If you’re feeling restless and stuck, it’s okay not to have all the answers. You don’t need to solve every one of life’s problems today — or tomorrow.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
It’s OK to acknowledge your limitations. This is what your support system is for. You keep these people around for a reason.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Get out your journal, Libra. Whatever you’re working on or through, put it down on paper for now. But not everything is for others to see. Keep that journal to yourself.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Sometimes self-love is kind and full of affirmation. Other times it’s tough love in a bathroom mirror at a dinner party. You know which kind you need this week.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
This week you may find it difficult to keep the peace. The problem is that you know how to push people’s buttons. Just try not to push too many.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Things aren’t moving as quickly as you would like them to. But ask yourself whether doing something faster ever equates to doing it better.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
We can feel your frustration from here, Aquarius. Slow your roll; the world can’t move at the pace of your mind. Direct your anxiety somewhere productive instead of destructive.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
If you don’t want to spend the week solving problems, don’t start the week by creating them. Now is not a good time to make decisions from a place of anxiety.
