Aries (March 20-April 19) — It seems you have some specific decisions to make in terms of where you will focus your energies. To some extent virtually the whole of the past year has been preparing you for this moment, through your experiences and through the information you’ve picked up, so that by now you pretty much know where you’re at. The remaining analysis may be about how far you’re willing to head in the direction of growth and healing, despite possible temptation to do otherwise. Yet if you listen to your inner guide, you’ll understand perfectly what these choices actually mean. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Comparing oneself to others is among the quickest routes to discontent. Yet we often do this, driven either by envy or — perhaps more commonly — by self-doubt and fear that we are not quite up to the mark. If thought out clearly, however, it’s possible to see how absurd these comparisons are. We are each unique, with our own qualities, flaws, joys and sorrows. You have an opportunity this week to really absorb this understanding; doing so may cause you to notice some unaddressed deep feelings, which you can then analyze and make the initial steps toward healing. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Try to keep an unrushed pace for the next few days, at least, and allow developments to take their course rather than playing an overly active hand. The astrology of the past couple of weeks has been somewhat fraught for many, and there are a lot of frayed nerves about. You would probably do well for now to refrain from committing to any particular course of action, remembering that what is said and done cannot afterwards be unsaid or undone. Instead, stay aware of your feelings as they arise, and do your best to be transparent and honest with yourself, if not with others. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — All relationships tend to contain moments when we’re not happy with a particular circumstance or recognize that an ongoing arrangement needs to be altered. For example, you might feel as if you’re doing too much, and need more support in a certain situation. If something’s bothering you, try to bring it up in an honest discussion — no need to go in with both barrels, but likewise don’t be a martyr and pretend everything is halcyon. That won’t make the issue disappear. In any ostensibly equal partnership you need to be able to communicate truthfully and like adults, rather than parents or children. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Just at present, you might well be fired up with enthusiasm, and wanting to move mountains in your current cause. This is undoubtedly wonderful to behold, yet try to remember that you are only human after all, with finite (if considerable) time, resources and strength. You can honor your limits and your need for occasional rest, and yet still accomplish so much that everyone else’s eyes water just looking at you; especially if you organize your time well and wisely. Your passion is evident, in any case; and it will almost certainly inspire others to emulation within their own lives. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — There comes a point when one simply has to take a leap of faith, and move forward from theory into practice. Caution is frequently reasonable and, more often than not, a little pause for analysis can be beneficial. However, it would seem you’ve done all the thinking out that you possibly can on one specific issue. The next phase is experimentation. This is not likely to be a circumstance where dipping your toe in the water inevitably leads to being in deeper than feels comfortable; in any case, stepping outside your comfort zone is a necessary part of growth. I suggest you wade in courageously. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — If you’re puzzling over where to go from your current position, or feel as if you’re stuck where you are, there may be help available in the form of certain memories. For example, you might recall specific childhood dreams or ambitions, which perhaps formerly you dismissed as impractical, but are now freer to dust off and re-examine. What did you want to do before, that you possibly now have time to fulfill? Remember that one is never too old to learn new things, and that the world contains an abundance of information; more than enough to discover in one lifespan. So discover away. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You appear to be learning that sincere love has to begin with yourself. This seems counterintuitive in our society, but ultimately it makes sense. After all, love is arguably more complete when there is no need for approval or a return attached to it; and if we don’t love ourselves, more often than not we end up relying on others to do it for us. If you find this something of a stumbling block, which most of us do at times, make it a project of an almost academic nature. There are methods that can help you circumvent self-doubt, and treat yourself with the justice and kindness you merit. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — One of the ways we express self-respect is in the way we treat other people, which means how often we tell the truth, keep our word, help out when it’s needed, and so on. This includes taking responsibility for carrying out our principles and standing by them, or being open to change when we learn something new. Doing all this requires a kind of self-trust, and the more you feed that on a regular basis, the more naturally it comes. It’s also important to recognize whenever you’ve done something you can be proud of to any degree; this helps build confidence. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — We’re in a time when our individual differences are being emphasized, often at the expense of understanding what we all have in common. Love and respect that apply universally are decidedly not in fashion. Yet, while it’s true that we each have a responsibility for how we live, there is surely also a place for compassion that regards only the fact that we exist, we’re alive and we’re human. When you feel sure that you can draw a decisive line (or, perhaps, build a wall) between you and someone else, it may be a useful exercise for you to look more closely at what links you together. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — On the one hand, critical thinking is an invaluable skill. When you experience an intuitive idea it can make a lot of sense to investigate further, ask yourself questions, or put it somehow to the test where possible. On the other hand, as with all things, taking skepticism to extremes will tend to distort it: you might end up dismissing anything and everything, or come up with a potentially baseless theory to satisfy a general sense of distrust. The golden mean usually involves keeping an open mind, and being willing to sit with a little uncertainty until more information can be had. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Gradually, your social milieu seems to be transforming into one that you find more congenial, more supportive, and more reflective of you as a person. Part of this may be down to a realization that you simply don’t have to associate with anyone who makes your life more difficult. I don’t mean in the sense of challenging you when necessary; rather, getting in the way of needed development and healing. Recent experience has taught you that where your principles or integrity are at stake, at no time can there be any compromise in favor of someone else’s convenience. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — With the emphasis turning toward your house of career and status, and a powerful Full Moon about to take place right across that axis of your chart, you may well be at least beginning to feel — to borrow from Terry Pratchett — as if your get-up-and-go has got up and come. That’s likely to be a good deal more obvious in the New Year, once your ruler Mars is in your sign. Just remember all the things you’ve learned about yourself recently, especially where you’ve gotten in touch with your sensitivity and empathy. Keep close to your sense of fairness. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — You may be experiencing some tension regarding specifically the question of what holds most meaning for you, and your general philosophy. These are profound questions, which we are in a sense compelled to answer with every decision we make and every action we take. The responses we give can change as we go through life and encounter new situations, though sometimes we stumble upon fundamental principles of such importance that they stay with us for many years. If there is turbulence around you, concepts of that sort are usually a very good anchor. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Mercury, your ruler, finally leaves shadow phase on Monday, meaning it will enter new zodiacal territory for the first time since its retrograde. If you’ve been feeling as if you’ve yet to shake off the sensation of slowing down and of a reflective state of being, there may be more information to emerge on your present path of self-discovery before you’re ready to move back into the active realm. Be as patient as you can, and keep going until you see fit to take a different route. At some point any uncertainty you may feel will most likely wane, and clarity fill the gap. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — In part thanks to the heavy emphasis on the nuclear family, around this time of year there is a culturally driven wave of sentimentality involving relationships and the imperative to Not Be Alone — regardless of whether the available company is worth keeping or not. Thanks to the Full Moon this week, you might be experiencing the urge to commit to a specific arrangement, which you would otherwise probably take your time in deciding. However, there’s no reason to rush anything; use your discernment, and weigh out all the details carefully, before coming to a decision. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — The solstices are among the pivotal turning points in the year, around which festivals tend to congregate, and which are globally significant. When they’ve passed, we tend to go back to our routine lives. That said, there is something particularly interesting about tomorrow’s solstice, namely a sense that some of its magic can be carried forward into the workaday world, if we so wish it. There is beauty and meaning and power in every day, though sometimes finding it takes a bit of digging. You seem to possess the key, at present, to doing just that. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — On the face of it, the astrology looks as if you’re about to turn into the creativity-related version of a perpetual motion machine. Yet it’s also possible that what you’re feeling right now is more akin to stress and overwhelm, or confusion regarding what to do next. Keep an eye out if you’re prone at the moment to wanting to push the river, or expecting too much of yourself. You cannot shoulder a level of pressure on the order of having to turn into Picasso overnight. You’re only human, and perhaps could do with remembering that it’s okay to need downtime occasionally. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Pay close attention to your body and emotions during the festive season, especially in social and other interactive situations. This time of year can pile on the stress as well as offering relaxation and general cheer. Take it easy, and don’t feel obliged to participate in any activity you’d rather not. Many people enjoy the parties and celebratory atmosphere; if you prefer a quiet, homely gathering or not much at all, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Stay alert and aware of your instincts, and try to avoid too many excesses, particularly of alcohol. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You’ve probably heard that riddle on what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object. Nothing in our lived reality, fortunately, is quite so absolute; yet there are times when something has to give. When a matter feels important to us, we are apt to let our emotions sway our judgment; yet it can be enormously helpful to take a step back, analyze the situation and ensure there isn’t a factor we’re overlooking. At any rate, if there seems to be an inflexible barrier in the path, it’s probably sensible to pause and try to figure out a way round it. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Awareness is thankfully growing regarding the impact of single-use items on the environment. It seems far too many things are made to be disposable in short order. This can impact our thinking as well; it can be ridiculously easy to decide that a project or an interest isn’t working, and to throw it over for something new without further analysis. Yet what might seem like a blind alley can often have hidden doors. If you think you’ve arrived at an impasse, look around carefully for a way through that you haven’t yet spotted. Chances are there’ll be at least a few. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — The focus of the planets is shifting onto your sign, and it would seem you’re about to get a foretaste of what the incredible 2020 astrology might feel like for you. If you’re experiencing apprehension at the idea of being more central in the grand scheme of things, you can acknowledge this and sit with it for a while. To embrace that situation will require confidence — in yourself, and in the various beliefs you hold dear. What you possibly need to realize more than anything else is that there is every reason why said confidence is perfectly justified. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You may feel as if you’re currently paying a visit to Wonderland, or a parallel universe in which everything is upside down or exists in ten different dimensions. There are certainly enough Mad Hatters operating on the current world stage, after all. Yet if you listen carefully, you will find the strain of truth running beneath the cacophony like a deep bass line, maintaining a rhythm of solid, reliable tones. Hold that sound in your mind, and allow it to drown out the noise when things seem like they’re getting to be too much. You know who you are, and you can lean on that feeling. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — The astrological spotlight is currently on your zones of public visibility, suggesting that you’ll have opportunities to stand out more palpably over the mass of your fellow humans. Small moves in the right direction could cause a surprisingly dynamic response, propelling you into a broader realm of influence. Just remember to keep your sense of perspective; it’s all too easy to let that slip away when the world is changing around us, but you’ve grown immeasurably, and sacrificed far too much to let go of your roots and of the person you’ve spent years becoming. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — For many, the days are long gone when adhering to a certain religion was compulsory, socially if not legally. Now, when there is such widespread access to cultural ideas and beliefs of every kind, choosing one’s spiritual or ethical path can simply be a matter of what best fits one’s personal values. However, the pressures of family and community do still exist, and it can sometimes be very tempting to accept a dogma unquestioningly rather than face criticism or worse from others. Yet there is a true liberation in recognizing your need to live honestly as yourself, and in committing to that. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Part of the challenge in working through any healing or growth process is that the results often don’t show themselves immediately. It’s all too easy to decide instead to give up and go numb, and sleepwalk through the world. Yet you have too much good sense to consider that as anything like a real solution. One approach that may help is to get more involved with an issue you care deeply about, or are interested in. This needn’t be merely to ‘keep busy’ so that you can put what you’re feeling out of your mind; it could also give you an increased sense of purpose. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — When we really need help, we often discover who numbers among our truest friends. When someone close to us needs help, we can find in offering and giving support that our intimacy with them deepens. Relationships tend to appear at their most profound and wonderful when those involved have the opportunity to express qualities that bring out the best in us: compassion, loyalty, warmth and empathy, among others. Be there for loved ones if they need you, even if you’re not sure what you can do; and if you could use someone’s company or assistance, reach out. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Your instincts may be more finely tuned than usual this week. If there’s any kind of interpersonal tension in your workplace or daily life, the chances are you’ll be one of the first to spot the change in the wind. What you do with this information depends on your judgment; you might be able to prevent a misunderstanding, though possibly it’s too early to gauge the best action to take. Don’t rush into anything, therefore, and wait for more to unfold if necessary. You may figure out a creative and friendly way to resolve any problem that does emerge, once all the pieces are in place. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Little unexpected events happen relatively frequently in these lives of ours, and usually it’s fairly easy to adapt to them. With those of greater significance, some time can be required, and perhaps it’s also necessary to take a more active role in readjusting. This week, you may be visited by an inspiration out of the blue, or may discover that it’s time to step something you’re working on up a gear, or change its course somewhat. You’ll probably be able to meet this alteration without too much difficulty. Make room for whatever arrives, and keep an open mind as to what you’ll do next. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — When it comes to your wellbeing, don’t forget that the mind and the body are connected with and feed into one another. If you’ve been feeling under the weather physically, check how you’re doing emotionally; and vice versa. A holistic approach will probably mean you’re more in tune with yourself in general, as well as being less likely to miss any useful information. Pay attention in particular if any longstanding or old patterns recur; new clues may appear that were perhaps unclear or not available to you before, and which could lead to new ways of maintaining your equilibrium. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Virtually all human responses to a situation contain some form of emotion, even though it’s often subtle or driving from underneath the consciousness, rather than open and out on the surface. We like to think of ourselves as rational, reasoning beings, though going through the full reasoning process actually requires us to be honest and transparent about how we feel. These facets of the character tend to be shamed when on display, or smothered guiltily whenever possible, though there is no logical point to this. In dealing with a specific issue, you’d benefit from being aware of all your reactions. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — The state of the world is troubling for many, and the information overload we’re all constantly receiving can trigger certain old stress points. If you’re feeling that way, remember to take however long you need for self-care, and step away where possible from toxic environments, including online, if they’re getting to you. One thing you’ll want to avoid in particular is any tendency toward a narrowing worldview. These are challenging times for people with open and candid hearts, but you owe it to yourself to be real, and not to allow anything to constrict you or shake your courage. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Don’t be afraid to express yourself if you feel your views might not quite fit in among your peers, or be acceptable to those in positions of authority. The uniqueness of a perspective can add significantly to its importance, simply by virtue of presenting an idea unthought-of before, or one that existed but no-one had previously dared to bring to the discussion. Humanity is gloriously messy, and is not designed to slide neatly into perfectly square boxes, though some may wish it so, for the convenience of not having to think too hard. Never mind pleasing them — you have more interesting things to do. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — You may be feeling somewhat hemmed in at present, perhaps rebelling against what you might see as ponderous duties (which are somehow infinitely more irritating when we’re in the mood just to enjoy ourselves). One possible solution that can help mitigate this feeling is to be as organized as possible, including separating work and leisure hours; this allows you not only to feel in control of your time, but to see the balance consciously. Where possible, organize your spaces as well; see if you can establish a designated area to wind down. Remember that ultimately you’re working with your mind. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Much of the time, it’s possible to follow your passion without treading on the sensitive toes of self-appointed social arbiters. Sometimes, it isn’t. Yet if you have a sincere devotion to something, there might well come a time when you must choose between, for example, staking your reputation and/or being subject to criticism on the one hand, and giving up or making a compromise on the other. At some stage, committing to your vocation may mean accepting risks such as these. However, you might ask yourself what’s so scary about that; after all, few things in this world are more liberating. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — It’s not all that easy to understand the true potential of an ambition; once the necessary research has been carried out, the only thing left is to pursue it and see what results. Often, there will be unexpected and interesting developments, which are illuminating if not always to one’s taste. Just now, though, your ability to gauge probabilities is rather astute. In considering an action, you may well be in a position to measure likely outcomes to an unusual degree of accuracy. By all means cross-check your ideas with whatever is available in the outside world; however, as a rule, you can trust your judgment. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — You’ve gained enormously in wisdom over the past few months, making discoveries about how your individuality mixes with the world beyond in its various manifestations. Now you’re preparing to take that knowledge into the deeper recesses of your mind, which is prompting a longterm reconsideration of your entire philosophy, and of what holds meaning for you. Likewise, you’ll probably want to review your aspirations and spiritual beliefs during the next several seasons, gradually forging a path that primarily upholds what you know to be true, and enshrines your right to self-determination. If there was ever a time when you could compromise your integrity or core principles, that can be safely consigned to the past. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — An essential component of embracing change, especially within oneself, involves embracing mystery and complexity, and apparent paradox. This can include confronting your own shadow material, or deep-seated emotions; which means being open to new information about who you are and what you might need or want, and not suppressing or denying any of it. If you’ve been prone to mistaken conceptions regarding any of those points, you’ll have the chance to deconstruct them, and gently rebuild a self-understanding that integrates all of you. Be careful of apparently simple answers to anything you’re puzzling over. This is likely to be a signal that you have somewhat more to discover before reaching a conclusion. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Jupiter is now in your opposite sign, Sagittarius, where it will reside until December 2019. This is your sphere of interpersonal relationships, and it’s also where your ruler Mercury is about to station retrograde. If your previous partnerships have been subject to any kind of pattern — if you’re consistently meeting the same kind of person, for example, or similar habits tend to form when you’re with someone — now is your chance to analyze the causes and, if necessary, break the mold. Jupiter’s influence may pique your interest in a different type of partner, or encourage you to experiment with new venues or hobbies. What you learn in forthcoming weeks could be considerably useful in helping you loosen any self-imposed restrictions. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — The concept of altruistic service sometimes gets mistaken for a martyr complex, or false humility, or mendacity. Yet in its highest form, shorn of pretensions or pointless self-flagellation, it gives a fundamental sense of purpose to daily life in a way nothing else can quite parallel. This need not be mutually exclusive from the pursuit of your calling; if anything, the two would encourage and support one another. What it might help you to consider is whether you’re choosing goals, and methods of reaching for them, that are really worthy of you; how far you truly identify with your aims; and whether you need to rearrange certain aspects of your world, so as to make it easier to devote time and resources to what’s most important to you. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Jupiter’s yearlong visit to your zone of creativity, self-expression and fun should herald a new sense of freedom and the ability for you to engage in play, including play with a purpose. You might want to develop some new skills, or immerse yourself in your art form of choice. Be aware that any activities that might be seen as unconventional can attract the ire of the staid and the boring, though don’t let that hinder you. If you face pressures of that kind from bosses or other parent-like figures, perhaps consider finding a more congenial environment in which to explore your interests, or meet the challenge head-on if you wish to. At any rate, your time is your own; no-one can prevent you from being yourself.Get your full reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — During the months ahead, you could experience changes in your relationship to your past, roots or family. You’ve possibly already noticed this beginning, and may have some idea as to where you wish to focus any re-evaluation process. Mercury retrograde should help with this, bringing certain facts into the spotlight. Look closely at any event or action that seems to resonate with phenomena from your early life, or from interactions with parents; notice what you’re thinking and especially what you’re feeling. Also, your concept of home might be altering or expanding; perhaps you’ll be fired with an urge to see more of the world, or resettle elsewhere. After all, home is a relative term; it could refer to a specific address, or the planet. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Is your current environment exciting enough? Do you feel sufficiently stimulated in your work, or in your interests? If the answer to either of those questions is anything other than a resounding ‘yes’, this may be your year to do something about that. You’ve likely already caught a glimpse of a new perspective on your capabilities; if you’ve previously underestimated them, chances are you’re much less inclined to do that, and quite right, too. Once this series of inner planet retrogrades is finally over, why not take up a class, or a new hobby? You might also visit some places you’ve never been to, or spend time with different people, especially if you’ve gotten into a habit of doing the same things week after week. Live your life. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You could see a surge in productivity over the next several months, with Mars and Jupiter working together to unleash your creative powers. You may find you’re able to turn ideas into a concrete reality with surprising speed. What this will perhaps require from you more than anything else is self-belief. In part, this means being willing to devote yourself to your ambitions regardless of how others might react, and regardless of any desire you may have to gain approval. If nothing else, this exercise will help you to value yourself and the gifts you bring to the world; though the more actively you work on supporting your self-worth and independence, the more your inventive mind can manifest satisfying results.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Your ruling planet Jupiter has returned to your sign for the first time in about 11 years, which probably feels a good deal like coming home to yourself. What has happened for you in that span of time? What have you learned, and where do you want to go next? You may already have an idea as to these points; however, make sure you have a grasp on the breadth of the possibilities; there could be many more options available to you than you currently perceive. The one place you can’t go is backwards; you’ve experienced too much to allow the wisdom you’ve gained to be wasted. Also, there are others who need sorely to benefit from your fresh insights and understanding. Don’t be afraid to set an example. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — What do you dream of? Who do you see yourself becoming in the next few years? You’ll probably find yourself grappling with these issues in the approaching seasons. You might also notice that your intuition is somewhat enhanced, and that it’s easier than usual to access the deeper realms of your mind, and your spiritual nature, as if someone is shining a light into places that were previously hidden. Take a deep breath, and go exploring. As an earth sign, it’s likely that you’ll always have one foot on the ground; just be careful, like Ariadne did for Theseus, to make a trail you can follow back to the surface, especially if you’re not used to contacting these parts of yourself. Maintain your boundaries. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Thanks to the internet, the meaning of the word ‘community’ has in recent years been altered, no longer referring to a group of people necessarily within the same locale. In the months to come, you might also be revising your definition of a community, including what constitutes an ideal one for you. This would partly involve meeting and spending time with people who enhance your life, and vice versa. However, you could also think about the ways you can help improve your community, perhaps by providing a service or a gathering space for congenial minds. It’s likely there’s at least one area in which you have clout, expertise or a passion that you can bring to the table. Lead the way, and you’ll soon see who follows. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — There would seem to be two particular things to note about Jupiter returning to Sagittarius, which is the region of your chart associated with career and ambitions. Firstly, this represents an opportunity to expand the reach and output of your working life, possibly through promotion, spreading influence or a change of focus. Consider what you’d ideally like to see take place, regardless of how likely that scenario appears, before taking steps to begin making it a reality. Secondly, you may find that your aspirations, and their fulfillment, become more closely connected to the expression of your identity on a profound level. This might feel something like discovering how all the various aspects of your life are neatly linked in a coherent pattern. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — It is becoming increasingly crucial that we don’t place too many barriers between ourselves and the rest of humanity. Whatever you feel, whether it’s elation or deep distress, or one of the infinite states in between, you don’t have to put on a mask, especially with loved ones. If you think you need some form of support, don’t hesitate to seek it from people you trust. In turn, you might be in a position to encourage similar transparency in those you care about most. We’re all much better off if we look out for one another. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — You might be getting a sense that not everything is as it seems, or that something is foggy or unclear. It’s likely there is information you don’t yet have, though that will probably emerge over time. You may also feel as if someone close to you is not quite giving you the full picture. In the absence of anything more definite, it would perhaps be wisest to adopt a policy of trust. If there are new details to be revealed, they will transpire eventually; though if you have specific questions you might also try asking directly. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Your ruler Mercury is now in shadow phase, though you have a couple of weeks before it stations retrograde. While this is an indicator that the pace may be starting to slow down for you, you don’t exactly need to stop the clock and freeze yourself in time until it stations direct. Be wary of feeling inclined to do that if things don’t quite happen at the speed you’d like. There is plenty of room for living your life regardless, and for continuing to broaden your horizons. Be open to possible new experiences this week. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Creative or self-expressive endeavors are likely to receive assistance from your more intuitive sensations and feelings. Pay attention to your dreams, and perhaps try not simply to record them but to consider in detail your emotions surrounding them. Playing word association games might help to draw out anything sitting below the surface. Notice when a smell or a strain of music produces a specific emotion or thought. Do what you can to recognize yourself as a cosmic being, and try to keep tuned in to your higher ideals. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — In part everyone is socialized to depend on others for approval, rather than trusting in ourselves and following a moral code we believe in. Yet eventually it becomes clear that if we don’t appreciate ourselves, whatever we receive even from those we love best will not be enough to counteract the resulting self-doubt. You’re getting a window into the fact that you must be your own best friend. Learn to state your needs openly, and to respect your own wishes and abilities, and you’ll no longer need anyone’s sanction.Get your full reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — If you’re experiencing a pattern of behavior or events, it’s possible that something in your past will be key to unraveling that and moving beyond it. See if you can make specific connections, and then notice whatever memories emerge. Unlocking them is likely to be a significant help in breaking through any habits you need to release. As you do this, remember that whatever concerns your wellbeing is important, even if it appears trivial to you. Don’t be tempted to keep sweeping these things under the carpet.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — One quality you value, which your sign traditionally possesses in abundance, is a sense of tolerance. You can be diplomatic even in trying circumstances, and find common ground with people who might seem undeserving of the effort, while not allowing anyone to cross the line or take advantage. This skill is becoming rarer and more difficult. There’s a lot of fear and hostility about, so we need to make connections where we can, and show compassion and love where it’s needed. Take pride in doing so, and do it courageously. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Thanks to many centuries of cultural influence by a religion that exhorts us all to be ashamed of existing, acceptance of who you are, faults and all, can be difficult at times. Remember that none of us is or ever can be perfect, and try not to be unduly hard on yourself. Even the shadow, to use Jungian terminology, has its gifts. We place far too much emphasis on ‘repentance’ and self-flagellation, and not nearly enough on recognizing the good and the sacred that exists within each of us, and celebrating it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — With Jupiter entering your sign in just a week, you may be feeling under pressure to get things in order so that you have a clean slate. You don’t need to rush, however, and certainly not to push yourself to exhaustion. Resist any temptation to compare your accomplishments with those of people around you, and instead recognize everything you’ve achieved in the past year, which amounts to something considerable. You’ve made real strides in learning to understand and trust yourself, and the fruits of that already show. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Many people are apprehensive about the future on a national and global level; given the content of the news, they have reason to be, though if we consider the progress we’ve made over the centuries, things look rather more hopeful. You may take comfort in this, and in the fact that wherever fear exists, there is also bravery. One thing you can certainly rely on, however worried you are right now, is your determination and strength to maintain your principles, and to grow wiser and more attuned to the divine within you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — This is a pretty pivotal time for you, though it may seem as if things are actually grinding to a halt, or even going backwards. Yet, just as with planets that are apparently retrograde, this seems really to be a simple matter of perspective. While there might be certain influences moving out of your life at present, consider that these could be factors you need to let go in order to make room for you to bring in new ones, which are designed to help you all the better. Let the changes play out, and see what’s there when the dust clears. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — As the saying goes, trust in God but lock your car. Just now you are more than usually open to the promptings of universal fraternity, which is a beautiful thing indeed and not to be gainsaid, especially in the current environment of intolerance and hostility. However, you should not overlook common precautions. Certainly be willing to trust, but also be cautious about in whom and how far you place your faith. Keep yourself protected energetically; this may be counterintuitive, but it will help you maintain your sense of compassion. Get your full reading by Eric here.
