We’re at the height of Scorpio season — or in the depths, depending on how you look at things.
The Sun is leaving its trine with Saturn and moving into opposition with Uranus, signifying a shift in understanding. This is the point in the story where the hero has a choice, either to second-guess herself or lean into the journey ahead.
As Mercury enters an opposing aspect with Jupiter, we see how dangerous it can be to act on misinformation. And the stars are asking us to let go of the comfortable lies we’ve been telling ourselves.
While this may all sound dire, most of our misjudgments are probably minor. What’s important is holding ourselves accountable. If we can see where we’ve made mistakes, we can fix them, or at least ensure we avoid the same pitfalls in the future.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
People may guess your motivations, but your actions will always speak the loudest. It’s what you do and how you do it that matters this week.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Sometimes the stories we tell ourselves stand in the way of our own needs and desires. Don’t be your own worst enemy this week: embrace honesty. It will do you good.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Let yourself be drawn to your true calling. You have a responsibility to yourself to explore what makes you feel alive. Trust your instincts.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Don’t waste your time fighting against how others perceive you. Let them be as wrong as they want. You know who you are, and you don’t need to prove anything.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Your passion, inspiration, and drive may be at odds with the resources you have to do everything you want to do. Try not to let your limitations discourage you. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Your way of understanding the world and compartmentalizing things is helpful, but it’s not the whole picture. The more information you have to work with, the greater the impact you’ll have.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Don’t be paralyzed by the choices you face. Life becomes stale and stagnant if you can’t make changes. Evolution is uncomfortable, but not more so than monotony.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
You’re on the edge of a grand transition and even had a small taste of the change, but perhaps you’ve fallen back into the familiar. Let go of that familiarity; it’s holding you back.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Recognition of your efforts isn’t as important as recognition of your failures. We all know you’re too stubborn to give up, so count your blessings and your lessons and carry on.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
The battles you’re embroiled in now will lead to major changes. If you find yourself in a war of perception, just trust that your actions will determine where you end up.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Life won’t always feel like such an uphill battle. The slow and steady movements you’re making may have you feeling like you’re going the wrong way on an escalator. Keep going — its direction is about to change.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
If you’re second-guessing some of your decisions recently, that’s the universe giving you an opportunity to undo any mistakes you’ve made. Your intuition will let you know when to keep pushing ahead and when to alter your course.
