The Sun is in Libra, emphasizing our need to be heard. And now Mercury comes along, too, reminding everyone that it is your responsibility to communicate your needs and expectations.
Maybe you think you’re a mind reader, or at least highly emotionally intelligent. But it doesn’t take a genius to see how easily situations can be misinterpreted. Of course, the air signs — Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini — will feel like they’re working overtime, trying to make sure they’re not misinterpreted, but all the signs should strive for that this week.
The water signs should take extra care because their passions and emotions do flare, though not necessarily in a bad way. It could be a very exciting week for you, Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer, if you let your bodies do the talking.
Regardless of what sign you are, put a little care into your words. You’ll be glad you did.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Boasting about your achievements will only inspire contempt from others. You’ll have to decide if praise or progress is your goal for the week. Diligence will prove more fruitful.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
This week you’ll find the emotional support necessary to keep pushing. When you decide to commit to something, not much can distract you from forward progress.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Does it feel like all eyes are on you? If your decisions are called into question, make sure to keep your composure. You may be quick to anger this week, but if you can temper your emotions, you’ll be rewarded.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Passion and spontaneity are the spice of life, so when they’re offered, indulge as much as you can. Even brief experiences can make a serious difference in the quality of your day-to-day. Live it up.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
You can’t control how others perceive you, but it wouldn’t hurt to practice a little kindness with your words. You may find your reputation flourishes (or suffers) because of it.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Anticipate some conflicts in your personal or professional relationships this week. They will be short-lived, but you’ll need to work to overcome them. Avoiding conflict will only lead to resentment. Say what you have to say.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
The deep waters of emotional intimacy are calling your name. Whether you’re looking at love or friendship, dive in. Get honest and be vulnerable.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
This week you’re encouraged to explore your more intimate nature, not that you’re a stranger to intimacy. An old friend or lover may reemerge this week. Sparks will fly.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Your words hold weight and influence, so use them to shape the world around you. As you contemplate your next (or current) big thing, speak it into existence.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
You inspire others when you show up as your best and brightest self. The love and energy you pour into what you do radiates forth, giving others the opportunity to succeed as well.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
There is power in the narratives we weave for ourselves and others. Keep in mind that the best fairytales are the ones that hold deep and resounding truths beneath all the fantasy and illusion.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
You have to make time for joy and excitement sometimes. And don’t worry, your sense of responsibility and discipline won’t disappear just because you allow yourself to cut loose and have some fun every now and then.
