With so much going on in the cosmos (and in the world), it’s been hard to focus on the tasks at hand.
It hasn’t helped to have retrogrades turning workaday tasks into Sisyphean feats. Hours spent on projects, then all that work somehow spirited away. Attempts to coax a muse into supplying just a drop of inspiration woefully rejected.
Mercury has finally stationed direct, and Venus is on her way. Be done with you, blasted retrogrades! Now, let’s all have a deep and resounding exhale.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Don’t let frustration drive you to behave badly. Small hiccups can be annoying, but you don’t want to make them bigger. Count your blessings.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Your habits, routines and ways of communicating are all called into question this week. The tension will resolve if you focus on making some changes. Just don’t expect the most if you’re doing the least.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Positive affirmations and pep talks may help you this week. Hold yourself accountable, but only for what you are able to do. Be kind, but be honest: why are you holding yourself back?
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Beware of making harsh judgments this week. Even if you don’t overtly act on them, they will affect your behavior. And they may end up doing more harm than good.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
The urge to act spontaneously is strong this week; don’t do it. This is no time to dive head-first into uncharted waters, especially if you don’t have a plan.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Be clear with yourself about what you’re working toward and don’t let frivolous desires get in your way. Is satisfying a passing desire going to be as good as achieving something grand?
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Don’t let your feelings sit on your chest like a lead weight. Sometimes you have to fight for change. You may need to behave differently; otherwise, you’re going to drive yourself mad.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
What feels like a huge decision might not be. Existential questions about yourself and who you are can sometimes be resolved by just acting like the person you want to be.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Don’t let something that’s annoyed you ruin your whole week. A small mistake or slight shouldn’t inform every decision you make.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Due diligence should be your first step before taking action this week. Bad intelligence could be disastrous. Good intel, however, could give you an upper hand if you play it smart.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Don’t be afraid of unexpected changes that may come along this week. They might work in your favor. Keeping your head clear will enable you to help others across tumultuous terrain.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Your words hold a lot of power right now. Sometimes the way you tell a story can motivate others to take up your cause. Just make sure it’s a worthy one.
