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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
