The cosmos is going to be charitable this week to those who are charitable to others.
While the Sun is in Leo, it’s natural to direct attention toward oneself, but with trine Saturn and Neptune, thinking only of our own needs will leave us feeling hollow and unsatisfied.
Uranus plays a large role in this instance, as it is sextile the Sun, Saturn, and Neptune as well as trine Pluto and about to enter a trine with Mars. These complicated placements pull our attention toward humanity. It’s a time to notice how the microcosm of our own wants, needs, and expectations relates to the big picture.
One way: notice how small acts of kindness go a long way. Helping your neighbor bring in groceries or driving someone to a doctor appointment may seem trivial, but think how cold the world would be without those small gestures. Kindness is a revolutionary act.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Old habits die hard. It’s not easy to keep making small changes in your day-to-day life, but if you take on the task and take the long view, you’ll find there’s a whole new world on the other side.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Living up to other people’s expectations has never been your thing — you’re too stubborn for that. But don’t forget that allowing others to give you advice and feedback will help you, too.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
You understand that your way of being with those who are hurting (or in the process of healing) is important. If you sense that your words have done damage, this is a good time to make amends.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Trust is a two-way street and is not something that you should hand out lightly. Trust your instincts so you’re not forced to learn from your mistakes. Not everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Don’t waste your time trying to explain what you mean and what your intentions are. Trust that your actions speak for themselves, and remember that sometimes you just have to let people think what they will.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Juggling work and rest isn’t always easy for you. Keep the productivity going while you have energy, will power, and passion on your side. Just don’t forget to take care of yourself.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
In this season of sharing space with others, you’re noticing that people are messy, relationships are messy, and they all require work. Taking responsibility for your part in the mess is the best way to deal with it.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
It’s important to connect with your darker side — I mean those things that you hide away. Acknowledging what’s in the shadows will help you find acceptance of yourself and of others.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
When you’re struggling and it seems as if your problems are unsolvable, try taking a step back from yourself and start caring for others. It might feel good. After all, you’re a social animal.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Relationships may be difficult to navigate this week. Remember that conflict is inevitable if you’re thinking only about yourself. Invite others into the conversation and you’ll be surprised at how quickly things change.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Being supportive of others can make a world of difference in their lives and also in yours. Lift other people up and give them the opportunity to shine.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
When you’ve given yourself the space to grow and improve your circumstances, it’s natural to want everyone around you to grow with you. Alas, not everyone grows in the same direction.
