The tension caused by impasse can be relieved when we are realistic about what we want and sensitive about how we are going to get it.

ARIES
(March 21 – April 20)
Hopefully you have been adequately warned about the retrograde motion of your ruling planets until February. If so, you’ll have followed the advice to use this time to focus on taking proper care of yourself and slowing down… However, knowing you, you may have forgotten about it or simply decided it wasn’t necessary. So what can you do to feel better right away? First, try to trust, just for a moment at a time, that the universe really is on your side now.

TAURUS
(April 21 – May 21)
There are some days when it really feels like the odds are against you. There are others where the world feels like it is on your side. If only we could schedule them for a time that seemed convenient to us! But there is never a perfect time for anything. You are where you need to be, even if you feel like you would rather be more comfortable. As your loving ruler Venus enters Pisces today, we encourage you to go with the flow and be kind to yourself. It’s the right time to put yourself first.

GEMINI
(May 22 – June 22)
Contrary to what some astrologers may say, Geminis are actually prone to overcommitment. Just because you change your mind frequently doesn’t mean that doing so won’t cause you distress. What once seemed like the right thing to say yes to is not necessarily the right thing to do now. There is no shame in owning up to it or choosing what works for you now. This weekend, it’s essential to draw a kind boundary and say no when it supports your sense of self.

CANCER
(June 23 – July 23)
All Cancerians are a little guilty of tormenting ourselves for what seems important to us. We care so much about the people in our lives that it seems impossible to ignore the things that seem to be going wrong for them! But instead of taking risks today, as you might be tempted to do, try practicing compassion and patience from a safe distance. Your ruler, the Moon, is moving into Pisces and may have wisdom you can’t quite put your finger on yet, which will help things feel a lot better very soon.

LION
(July 24 – August 23)
There is a time to defend your position and other times when it is more prudent to claim a position higher up the Mountain of Morality. The complicated part is recognizing each one. Today, Mars, which has been moving retrograde through your sign, opposes Pluto. Only you know what is in your heart. Protecting that now by honoring your integrity and staying true to yourself will allow you to make way for what really matters and a movement that could bring positive changes worth being proud of.

VIRGO
(August 24 – September 23)
What is your inner voice like? Is he cheering you up with support and gentle reminders of how wonderful you are? Sometimes we forget how important our thoughts are in shaping what we believe. Do you feel challenged by negativity and filled with a sense of taking one step forward and several steps back? Trust, as the Moon and Venus move towards your opposite sign Pisces, the loving forces are on your side. If you can’t think of anything good to say about yourself, listen to the wisdom of those who love you.

POUND
(September 24 – October 23)
Surrender should not be confused with defeat. Choosing to take a step back from events beyond your control is nothing to be ashamed of. Now you are in a process of adaptation. Things that were difficult are now different. Today, your ruler Venus changes to Pisces. You don’t need to get involved when a family problem arises. Self-compassion is not just a bubble bath. Sometimes it’s about knowing when to allow yourself the peace you need.

SCORPION
(October 24 – November 22)
Every once in a while the world catches up to you. Normally you are so many steps ahead that this doesn’t faze you. Today, however, you may still feel vulnerable as your traditional and modern ruling planets battle each other. The person who knows you best and is in the best position to make positive decisions is you. Progress is not always visible, but in quiet moments of reflection. Trust the process. You are shedding what no longer serves you. It’s how it should be.

SAGITTARIUS
(November 23 – December 21)
They say that if you aim for the Moon, the worst case scenario is that you end up among the stars. While that may be true for those with the right rocket, sometimes we have to be more realistic about our goals. It may seem like problems outside your control are underpinning some of your most ambitious plans. Trust that any setback is only temporary, and in the meantime, take a moment to reset your sights on a goal that is currently within your reach.

CAPRICORN
(December 22 – January 20)
There is nothing wrong with ambition. Foresight and strategizing are not things we should be ashamed of. So why do you feel exposed when your plans are a little more exposed than you’re comfortable with? You care more about what other people think than you let on. Today, things may feel tense and you remember previous struggles that have affected your sense of worth. However, don’t doubt how far your values and vision can take you. You will soon feel much more confident in yourself.

AQUARIUM
(January 21 – February 19)
You know yourself better than anyone. Apart, perhaps, from those who see you without being distorted by the lens you use for self-reflection. Where you may feel helpless, others see your strength. When you feel uncomfortable, they see the beauty in your truth. Today you have much more influence than you fear and more things to look forward to than you think. Changes that may now seem disturbing are clearing the way for genuine positive changes in which you play a vital role.

PISCES
(February 20 – March 20)
There are two planets that represent divine femininity. Both goddesses, the Moon and Venus, enter your sign today. They provide you with the strength and guidance you need to weather the storms that seem to come from elsewhere. The human heart is wonderfully soft. It is one of the most precious qualities that any of us possesses. You may feel like you need protection now, but that softness is what gives you powerful strength. The sensitivity you feel insecure about is what allows you to go deeper.
