Virgo season is full of blessings in disguise. Mercury transitions into its sign of Virgo midweek, bringing clarity and making goals slightly more attainable, so try to keep your eyes on the prize.
The Sun’s square with Jupiter and opposition to Saturn may make you feel like you’re being pulled in two opposite directions — you feel like you should shoot for the stars, but somehow you want to keep your feet firmly planted on Earth. Think of this as a reminder that you don’t have to completely lose yourself to get where you want to go. Just focus on getting clear on your direction.
Although Mercury’s sextile to Mars will help us navigate challenges, be forewarned: the week ahead will not be without them. Being honest with yourself about your limitations is a good idea. So is maintaining your momentum. Keep it up and you’ll be just fine.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
It’s OK to have feelings, Aries. Just make sure you’re in touch with them. You may be feeling particularly emotionally reactive if you don’t give yourself the time and space to process things.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Your comfort zone is a trap. Push yourself beyond the tiny box you’ve closed yourself into. Your social networks are there to help you grow; if you don’t listen to them, you’re neglecting a valuable resource.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Don’t work yourself up into a whirlwind. There is a direct path toward your goals, but you may be standing in the way of your own potential. Your can-do attitude is great, but actually doing the thing is even better.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
This week is providing you with some much needed energy and motivation. Don’t let your emotions muddy the waters. Trust facts and focus on what matters if you want to make wise moves.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
You may feel as though you’re losing focus, or at least that your focus is shifting. While your desires may have been pulling your attention in one direction, there are some responsibilities that you need to assess first.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
O master of organization and practicality, this week is made for you. I didn’t say it would be easy, but your skills are the right ones for tackling the issues at hand. With so much to do, it’s important to take measured steps.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Being possessed of charm and grace can be a blessing and a curse. If you feel yourself drawn into tedious conversation, use that grace to cut it short. You have important personal affairs to attend to.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
This week may have you processing some deep changes and considering how to live your values. Your ambition is commendable, but don’t let dissatisfaction overwhelm you and overcomplicate your life.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Fast growth isn’t always good growth. Your long-term plans are long-term for a reason. Stay grounded in reality so you’ll know when you’re setting unreasonable expectations for yourself.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
You’re entering a deeply transformational period of self-reflection and self-realization. The ground under you may feel unstable. Shift your footing to somewhere a little more solid. Assess your current moves before planning for the future.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
The universe is trying to inform you of something you’ve known for a while: it’s time for a change. But not every change needs to be an Earth-shattering chain reaction. For you, right now, small changes lead to big improvements.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
You don’t need to follow someone else’s path; that’s likely leading you astray. You know what you want, and you know how to get there, so trust your gut and just get going.
