Aries (March 20-April 19) — In the digital environment, it would seem people are increasingly being judged on what they say, rather than on what they actually do. In some instances it’s becoming rather difficult to speak one’s mind without the strong temptation to add a preface, a disclaimer or an apology. You might wish to be considered a member of some particular group; be wary of any pressure to adjust your language, and pay close attention to the way others are using theirs. Try to avoid saying anything that does not accurately reflect your thoughts. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — There are often far more possibilities in life than the ones with which we are usually presented. In relationships, for example, people are encouraged to ride the proverbial escalator, and measure their situation in terms of pre-defined steps. You know there are many other ways to look at things, and your ruler Venus may be awakening you to some of them. If someone else wants to move things along according to their own parameters, you don’t have to accede to their wishes; instead, show them how many options they, and you, really have.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — You understand yourself and your intentions better than you or others might suppose. You are also aware that having an ultimate goal in mind does not necessarily require every action you take to be hell-bent on its accomplishment. Among other things, you need time simply to be human; to relax, meet friends, enjoy hobbies and so forth. If you’re worried about doing this, consider intervals of rest and recreation as useful in terms of sustaining your long-term drive and enthusiasm, in the same way that a good night’s sleep supports your health.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — By now you are likely aware of the difference between your true identity and feelings on the one hand, and certain people’s opinions or ideas about you on the other. The past few months have shown you how vital is the need to express oneself honestly, regardless of what might be expected or how some might react. You are not obliged to pacify anyone by conforming to artificial cultural norms. If you have a sense of fear or tension at the thought of being yourself, try to figure out what is behind that; then focus on how you could overcome it. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You might consider this week as almost like an extra New Year; in various aspects of your life, you may be starting afresh, or have an opportunity to wipe the slate clean. If you have any habits, practices or commitments that are constraining you in some way, this is an optimal time to move on from them and form new ones. Make sure, when deliberating on this point, that you lean on the side of improving your overall wellbeing and taking steps toward reaching your potential. One clue to accomplishing this is that those two intentions are unlikely to conflict.Get your full reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — A crucial part of your healing and growth process at this time is developing the ability to say what you really think and feel. Note that this doesn’t simply mean speaking everything that happens to be on your mind at that moment. In some ways, that can mask what’s going on at a deeper level. The first thing is to understand your emotional responses — especially if you feel provoked to react to something immediately. What’s that about? The second is to recognize that your feelings are valid, and you have every right to give them conscious expression. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — As we often stress on this site, ultimately you are the only person who can determine your identity, how you view who you are, and your most passionately held values. Yet this does not mean you need to seclude yourself from all possible influence by others. In fact, one of the ways you learn about yourself is through where those deeper parts of your being interact with others, and your experience of such encounters; genial as well as provoking or tense. You might, for example, observe this when you make art, or make love, or simply make conversation. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Past challenges have a way of intruding themselves on present life, to the extent that sometimes we can feel as if we’re being dragged back there. You may have been noticing similar sensations fairly recently; perhaps especially a feeling of succumbing to former habits of mind, or fears you’d rather have done with altogether. This week, you may suddenly gain a new perspective on these visitations; in rediscovering the thread of your current reality, potentially you’ve actually found a way to overcome whatever might have previously held you back.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Over the next few weeks, a specific phase of your life will be drawing to a close, with a new one forming. Hopefully you’ll begin to feel more confident than you have in perhaps a few years. In part, this is about reaping the rewards of the groundwork you’ve assiduously prepared. The only thing that can get in the way is any fear you have of changes to your way of life. It’s sometimes scary to emerge into the light after a while in the shadows, so to speak; yet this is a legacy you’ve created for yourself, and you’re entitled to enjoy it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — It’s not always easy to know when you’re doing good work, especially in stressful or busy periods; and one can very quickly lose heart if in doubt. If this sounds familiar, try taking a little time to celebrate your recent achievements. Praise from others might certainly come in useful, though ultimately your self-worth, as the name suggests, can only be set by you. Try to look at your accomplishments from a somewhat detached point of view, and be wary of applying any rule that you would not also use with someone else. You must treat yourself fairly.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Remember that fulfillment in the arena of your career and ambitions can only really be complete when you are using your inventive abilities, in as full a capacity as possible. Some workplaces certainly require one to suppress one’s innate talents; if you are in that situation by necessity, make sure at least some of your free time is spent pursuing one that is worthier of you, whether through art or a different skill. Above all, you should not consider the unique luminosity of your mind as anything other than a gift, and a precious one. Cultivate it all you can. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may be finding yourself consistently deciding, this week, between following the loftiest and noblest impulses of your nature, and obeying the opposing drive to throw all your toys out of the baby carriage. Lapses come to us all; nevertheless, where you have the power of choice, try to choose wisely. This doesn’t mean you have to be a saint. What might help is if you refrain from doing or saying what you could later regret, and instead try to look at a specific issue from as broad a perspective as you can accommodate. Chances are, you’ll spot something you missed. Get your full reading by Eric here.
