Aries or Aries Rising
The smell of fresh ground pepper.
Sharp seasoning. You need a jolt of something different. Seek out excitement. The reason that you need this enlivening spice isn’t because you’re bored — no. It’s because it will soothe your soul and give you the energy to attend to your many responsibilities. Variety will also help relieve your emotions, making you feel calmer and collected.
Taurus or Taurus Rising
Looking out over the boats in the bay.
The theme here is getting over what’s been bothering you. There are numerous moving pieces, and the situation has been challenging to navigate. Study the issue with reason and compassion. Call on both your intuitive mind and your practical mind. Look for simple solutions that bring security, peace of mind, and align with your values.
Gemini or Gemini Rising
A parrot fans out its wings to show off bright plumage.
Take up the space that you deserve and flourish emotionally, spiritually, and physically. How? Reflect on how your ego can sometimes hold you back. Think about how your mental gifts benefit your community. And put in effort. Even though it may feel like it takes a lot of energy, this is an excellent time to push through challenges. You’ll be rewarded.
Cancer or Cancer Rising
Smells and scenes that remind you of childhood.
You’re being pulled in different directions. On one hand, you may need to slow down, and on the other hand, you feel driven to take on ambitious new projects. You can have it all, but to do it gracefully, you need to confront your past, your childhood, and nostalgia. By embracing all of your feelings and comforting your inner child, you’ll have the energy you need to make things happen.
Leo or Leo Rising
A spark flies from the fire.
A spark is something to be nurtured, loved, held, and protected. It’s a point of beginning that can grow into great creativity, great love, or great collaboration. However, it’s small and fragile, so if you get distracted, it’s easy to lose the spark. It may feel hard to do, but identify what’s interesting for you and hold onto that with all your might.
Virgo or Virgo Rising
Hiking up a mountain.
You are confident and strong. There are decisions to be made, but you have what it takes to make them. Ease away from petty or time-consuming distractions, so that you can find the kind of momentum that makes you proud. Find your cheerleaders among your friends and listen to their kind wisdom. Be gentle with yourself (and others) while being incredibly productive.
Libra or Libra Rising
Pink peonies in bloom.
The bright floral blooms signify adventure, expansion, and celebration. But that’s not the whole story. Some challenging emotions are resting just below the surface, which also demand your attention and reflection. Anxiety (fear), sadness, or discomfort may be slowing you down. Be gentle with yourself as you try to attend to many different things at once. Through it all, enjoy the little graceful and beautiful moments that life brings.
Scorpio or Scorpio Rising
The cricket’s call resonates through the night air.
There is a yearning within you that asks for “more.” More of something important. More connection, more change, more poetry (metaphorically speaking). Tenderly nurture these desires even though it may be uncomfortable to want and not have. The yearning will lead you to creative new solutions.
Sagittarius or Sagittarius Rising
Pathways stretch out in all directions.
At this time of year, you may often feel a sense of chaos. There are way more questions than answers. Look everywhere you can for these elusive answers. Don’t give up. There are new roads for you to travel, and some of them start right here. Instead of getting ahead of yourself, trust the process and take it slow.
Capricorn or Capricorn Rising
The clear surface of a pool.
Finding peace is your theme. The path to that is so thorny, but you can get there if you elevate your mind. Deal with the mundane details and worldly annoyances, and then let it go. One of your great strengths is to see the big picture, and by doing so now, you can absolutely find peace of mind. Focus on the values that resonate with you emotionally.
Aquarius or Aquarius Rising
Tender hearts and tropical vacations.
There is a tender swirl of emotions. The past is colliding with the present and the future. All of this heartfelt rumination can persuade you to bust out of your shell and party like you’re on a glamorous vacation. Feel deeply and live it all up with bold joy.
Pisces or Pisces Rising
Surrounded by your guides.
Your intuition is powerful this week. Use it and rely on it. There is a subtle difference between being guided by intuition and being guided by fear. Find ways to open up your heart with compassion for others, and that will soothe you so that you can hear your inner truth with clarity.
