Things are settling down quite a bit for Aries this week after such fierce and fiery energy lately. You should be starting to feel more calm and less combative, but of course a touch of Aries’s signature impulsiveness and aggression will always be present. Allow yourself to “soften up” at this time, get in touch with your emotions and your creative side, these experiences are especially valuable right now. This is the final stretch of reflection, so consider what is and isn’t working for you in your life at this time. Now is the time to put your head to the grindstone and give a conscious effort to bring your deepest dreams and desires into your everyday reality.
This is an extremely sensual and romantic week for tactile Taurus. Right now you have the drive and ability to go out and grab whatever it is you truly desire. This is a great opportunity to give form to your aesthetic tastes and creative inspirations by making or doing something that you think is beautiful. In fact, you will likely feel especially creatively inspired by your experiences this week, so take time to notice all the beauty latent in everything around you. Pay special attention to any lessons learned during this time as they are especially critical to your growth and future.
Mercury’s retrograde affects you stronger than most signs, and this period of deep inner reflection is coming to a close at the end of this week. Take the time now to look back on your experiences during this time and consider what you’ve learned and how you can apply this new wisdom moving forward. Your charisma and charm will be especially emphasized this week and your heightened magnetism will easily attract all kinds of people to you. Through some close interaction with another, you may find clarity and deeper understanding regarding the major lessons at this time. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable or to express love and other emotions, as such experiences always only lead you deeper into self-awareness.
At the start of this week you may notice you are more intellectually inclined, and you have the chance to consider your emotions with a more detached point of view. Towards the end of the week you will find yourself back in the realm of emotions, but the emphasis is on receiving inspiration, being creative, and experiencing romance. As the weekend comes around, you will shift your aim from peace to excitement. You may be choose or be pushed to shake things up perhaps in some form of conflict, but consider whether you’re fighting for a constructive purpose or a passing impulse.
Although this could potentially be a difficult week for Leo, if you’re up to face the challenges, you will reap grand rewards. Power struggles with authority figures (whether the authority is you or someone else) are especially likely at this time. Use proper discernment to know when you should comply and when you should resist. You have the ability to cut to the core of any issue right now, so utilize this power to learn about and then heal yourself and others. You may have to put some things on hold right now in order to give proper focus to your inner landscape, allow yourself to do so without fear or judgement.
A period of inward focus is coming to a close this week for Virgo, so what exactly is it that you’ve learned about yourself these past few weeks? How can you better serve yourself and your needs? How can you function more efficiently? If these answers aren’t yet somewhat clear to you yet, you have some digging to do in this final stretch, don’t let this wonderful opportunity for growth pass you by. You may (and should) be especially focused on yourself and your needs this week. Do things that make you feel comforted and luxurious, put in a real effort to soothe your senses and experience pleasure in all forms this week.
This is a highly romantic week for Libra. Take this wonderful opportunity to give and receive love with another, or perhaps to show some more love to yourself. In fact, even if you are partnered, you may choose to spend this time giving more focus to your own personal needs. This is certainly a good thing, for you can only love and care for another as deeply as you love and care for yourself. Physical contact is especially important to you this week. This is an excellent time to do work relating to aesthetics, take the time to enhance the beauty of at least one thing this week.
Although Scorpio is quite fond of lurking in the shadows, staying hidden and solitary, this week you may find yourself thrust into the spotlight. Although this exposure may be a bit uncomfortable for you, it’s likely to end up being a pleasant experience. You will probably feel more social and relationship-oriented this week, but certainly at least more sexual. Use proper discernment, but allow yourself to flow with these new urges and experiences. If you face them without fear, you will reap great rewards.
This is a particularly reflective and introspective week for Sagittarius. If you are willing to take the time to sit and be quiet with yourself, much will be newly realized and understood about yourself and what to do moving forward. However there will likely be something trying to pull you away from that reflective solitude. Sometimes this is a good thing, it will bring about an experience to help clarify these lessons, but other times it may simply be a distraction in which you should use proper discernment to avoid.
Things will be settling down a bit for Capricorn this week. You should be feeling more calm and steady, and if you’ve noticed a faster pace to your life lately, it will begin to slow down back to normal, although not for quite too long. However even still, “normal” right now isn’t quite what normal used to be, because for Capricorn more than anyone else, now is the time to strip away every part of your life that does not align with your truth. That means being a bit selfish and looking out for what’s best for you. Now is now the time to compromise.
For the first time in a while, Aquarius should be starting to feel a bit more calm this week, although for most of you that’s not saying much! You should notice a decrease in tension and aggression and things should flow more smoothly now. A critical lesson for every sign at this time is cultivating more genuine self-interest, but Aquarius naturally has this down better than most others. Of course this “selfish” quality can become problematic, but it’s more important now than ever to make sure all of your individual needs are met, you are the only one who can make it happen.
This should be quite a pleasant week for creative and romantic Pisces. You have big dreams backed by a vivid imagination, and this week is an excellent opportunity to anchor some of those fantasies into reality. You have the chance to experience deep comfort and satisfaction this week, although you might first have to step out of your comfort zone to get there. Now is the time to create! Take the time this week to tap into that Piscean well of divine inspiration and express yourself through whatever creative outlet you feel drawn to.
