What would the world look like if we didn’t have the ability to lie or misrepresent things? Can you even imagine what it would be like to live with radical honesty?
For some, honesty comes much more easily than it does for others. Let’s take an easy example: “Do you like my outfit?” a friend asks. You don’t. Are you the type to say, “It’s fine,” or do you say, “It’s not working”?
The transits this week may be unkind to those who haven’t practiced the arts of honesty and tact. How can we communicate clearly while still being kind? How do we tell the truth without being hurtful? This is a week for temperance.
All we can do is present our ideas with empathy and understanding and hope they are received with grace. Be kind.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
This week will have you practicing how to maintain a sustained effort. Your throwing-gasoline-on-the-fire approach isn’t going to get you very far. Try short bursts of energy instead.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
If you don’t watch out, you may find yourself in the middle of a conflict. Don’t start fights you’re not prepared for. Be mindful of your words and actions.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Are your responsibilities getting in the way of your good times? How rude of your physiological needs to interfere with your social life. Take care of yourself, or you may run into some problems ahead.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Your caring nature is an asset. Every group of friends needs a Cancer. You teach us all to be a little more emotionally intelligent, and that’s needed now more than ever.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
If you’re lacking support, it’s time to get networking. But remember: that means thinking beyond “What will benefit me?” Connect with people; see what they need and what you can offer.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
While you’re great at planning, organizing, and task management, you can sometimes forget one of the most important and personal aspects of it: sorting out emotional baggage. You already have the skills. Start sorting.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You may be reaching social burnout, especially if you’ve been trying to keep up with the Joneses. It’s like this: FOMO isn’t going to kill you; having an imbalanced social life just might.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
If you find yourself between a rock and a hard place this week, you may want to ask how you got yourself here. Are you putting yourself in the middle of conflicts that aren’t yours? If what you need is drama, keep going.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Gossip can be good for you, Sag. It’s how you determine what your own ideas are about morals, boundaries, and limits. But don’t indulge in it too much — just enough to be informed.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
You’re benefiting from the hard work and support of others. How nice. Just remember to give credit where it’s due.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Recognize what it feels like to hold the power and resources for a change. But as Uncle Ben would say (you’re a Spider-Man fan, right?), “With great power comes great responsibility.”
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
When the tides change, you can either go with the flow or fight against it. I don’t recommend the latter unless you have a really strong anchor. Move through the changes and adapt as necessary.
