Happy birthday, Aquarius — your season is just about to begin. While last week’s advice still applies, and you won’t resolve all the issues in your life all at once, this week is at least a time to start planning.
As the Sun shifts from Capricorn to Aquarius it also begins to move out of its opposition with Mars. It’s safe to start thinking about what seeds you want to plant come spring. Venus in Pisces forms a conjunction with Saturn while also sextiling Mercury in Capricorn. This is prime time to put some structures in place to support growth (maybe even your own) in the coming months.
Try not to fix everything in one day — instead, take the long view. Know that you will still be able to make the most of this year.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
You’ll find yourself carrying a lot of emotional baggage if you don’t deal with it. Look at it this way: you’re being given an opportunity to resolve some issues that have been affecting you for far too long.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Structure and routine are standing in the way — even of your ability to relax. This week is a reminder to phase out old habits that aren’t doing you any favors.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Consider what it would be like to listen in on a healthy internal dialogue. Your confidence will be boosted if you can quiet your self-criticism and try some positive self-talk.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Conflict doesn’t have to be dramatic and emotional. If you can’t keep a level head, now is not the time to start a fight. Wait until you cool off first.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Not every issue can be solved with your usual brute force approach. Explore the strange and unusual this week: discover new ways to handle old problems.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Measure twice, cut once. You’re practical by nature, so you should know this rule. Use it when you’re unsure about something to keep from acting impulsively. Try looking at things from a different angle.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Consider this: rules and boundaries can be sexy. While keeping firm boundaries may feel difficult, the alternative is worse. It’s frustrating to manage any situation without clear guidelines — even relationships.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
If holding a grudge was an Olympic sport, you’d win the gold every time. Maybe people don’t always deserve forgiveness. But don’t carry old grudges into new relationships.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Listen to your instincts if you feel that someone is being dishonest with you. No one can live in an illusion forever. Trust but verify.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Try to be quick on your feet this week, especially when it comes to new opportunities. Some good things don’t come around twice. Seize them now; you can figure out how to manage them later.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Unresolved issues may come back to bite you this week if you’re not careful. If problems start popping up like whack-a-mole, it’s time to start whacking.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
You may have to make some decisions this week that will affect your health and well-being. Don’t overthink. Sometimes the easiest option is the best option.
