After all, that’s what really keeps you moving forward. You might be obsessing about what you want but stop and remind yourself that you have exactly what you need.
Taurus
You are known for your stubbornness, dear Taurus, which can actually come in handy sometimes. This week is not one of those times. Be open to suggestions from your sober supports, even if you believe you already know the best way because, after all, they have an outside perspective on your situation. You may receive the most valuable bit of wisdom from a most unexpected source.
Gemini
You might experience some frustration with things that are beyond your control this week but, you have a choice: be frustrated and annoyed, or practice surrender and experience peace. Try reciting the Serenity Prayer.

Cancer
This week is going to be an exercise in patience for you, Moody Cancer. You might feel like others are stepping on your toes or taking you for granted. Don’t bottle up your feelings because that will only sabotage you in the long run. It’s up to you to speak your mind, with compassion and respect, that is.
Leo
Leo, Leo, Leo…holding on to unresolved feelings will complicate relationships this week. You know change and moving on might just be for the best but, you want to be sure. Talk to your supports. Change is scary but necessary to grow. Clinging to the past is just you trying to control things. Get with your Gemini friends and practice saying the Serenity Prayer until you believe it. It’s way healthier to acknowledge your emotions, accept them without judgment and then move on.
Virgo
You might be feeling extra spiritual this week. Or else, you realize that your spiritual program could use a little TLC. Explore ways to do this, maybe adding meditation, yoga, reading, Tai Chi. You can enroll others to support you but be careful not to manipulate them in your endeavors. Your strength returns naturally as you rediscover center and recalibrate your balance. Getting into the new routine might be difficult at first but, by making sure that your values and beliefs are in line with this new way of doing things will set you up for success.

Scorpio
Be open to receiving the emotional support you so deserve and that is long overdue for you, Scorpio. Don’t push it away and try to embrace change as it comes. Although you could feel pressured by being put on the spot, your world is becoming a friendlier place. Concentrate on keeping your balance as you take on some major transformation.
Sagittarius
You’ve been distracted by fun and adventure, which ironically has led to more stress than relaxation. Take time this week to leave some of your schedule open for you. Everyone – including you – requires some downtime, so just accept any peace and quiet you do get as a gift from the Universe. Being grateful, and maybe specifically making a list, is a great way to remember what’s most important.
Capricorn
You’re feeling content, as if you have both feet planted firmly on stable ground. However, be careful not to get complacent. It’s OK to stop and smell the roses but be sure to have the next step plotted out – and then take that step. It’s not enough to hope, wish, and want; committed action is necessary to making things comes to fruition. Remember Capricorn, you can sink into your emotions while the Moon travels through your sign and so you can’t afford to become lazy or complacent; do your planning right away rather than procrastinating until a storm hits.
Aquarius
It’s time to trust both your head and your heart, especially this week, Aquarius. Intimacy might be a point of contention for you, as it is for a lot of others, and that goes for all relationships, with family and friends, too. You’ve been thinking about working through your resistance for a while now but the thought of feeling your feelings is enough to stop you in your tracks. Remember, there’s no time like the present moment to start going for what you want. Everything you want is on the other side of fear.
Pisces
You’re generally a people-person, Pisces and this week is no different. It’s wise to involve others in your planning and activities this week because group participation makes the process that much more enjoyable. Oh, and it also helps you with accountability. Fear of failure often has you self-sabotaging your dreams by filling you with doubt before you can even get started. Have faith in yourself and let others show you their support.
