Aries Sun & Aries Rising
We can all take arguments to the next level, but you’re creating drama on your own this week. Make amends by owning your poor behavior and relinquishing the need to be right. There are nice ways to express yourself that don’t create major turmoil with those you care about deeply. If you want a situation to change and transform, then it’s important to choose your words wisely. Remember, you can attract more bees with honey. This is why you’ll see results and a metamorphosis within your relationships if you speak your mind with an open heart and allow yourself to move toward personal growth that will benefit your partnership as well.

Be mindful of the anxiety you pick up from others. Some people may be adding anxious energy to your orb, creating frustrations in your personal life. While you do not necessarily want to cut them out, you need to make space between you and them, so you can focus on your own stresses. You may feel bad about creating boundaries, but they’re for the best right now. Just be careful as you implement limits with your friends. Instead of abruptly pushing them out of your existence, let them know that you’re busy tending to yourself.ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER
Gemini Sun & Gemini Rising
Get ready for your career to rock and roll but be careful before biting off more than you can chew. Yes, you always like to keep busy due to your dualistic nature but sometimes you can take on too many projects and lose your balance. This can lead to professional and mental burn out. None of your work gets done as a result. Make sure you’re maintaining an equilibrium between your personal and professional worlds. Try to have a few moments of peace to yourself in order to boost creativity and motivation. The break will also allow you to contemplate your deepest professional dreams.

Cancer Sun & Cancer Rising
Although you are protective of the energy you spend, this week calls for you to get out of your comfort zone. Slip out of your safe cocoon, let people see the real you (all the parts of yourself that do not have armor on them) and conquer the world. You’ll feel exposed and naked to others, which will make you a bit skittish and insecure at first. But it will also feel good to reveal your truest self and show off your radiant inner and outer beauty. If anyone can embrace confidence, courage, and boldness it’s you, Cancer — even without your protective carapace and pincers on guard.

Leo Sun & Leo Rising
Your financial and business prosperity depends on your ability to go out into the world and let your voice be heard. You have very strong opinions and you cannot hide what you are thinking under these skies. The week ahead allows you to discuss your vision with partners in business. Odds are they will be inspired by your fresh outlook, which may lead to a collaborative endeavor. This dynamic will create a major shift at work that leads to a big monetary payback for current contracts, projects, and agreements that you are putting together. It is an exciting time for your career; embrace the changes and speak up to make your professional aspirations come to life.

Virgo Sun & Virgo Rising
Relationship problems are coming to a head. Insecurities and paranoias are being heightened and triggered, making it hard to see beyond the veil. Given that the delusion/illusion factor is high, you may want to take a giant step back and look at the situation through a broad lens. Talk with friends and get different opinions about how you should proceed. Understanding your relationships from a million miles away can help you assess things clearly and get off the emotional roller coaster you’ve been riding with your boo for quite some time.

Libra Sun & Libra Rising
Your generally feisty ways are a little more subdued for the first half of this week when you feel more pensive than usual. Keeping your focus on psychological self discovery serves your insatiable thirst for knowledge, and there is plenty of internal growth happening now, which can change your life. You’ll feel lighter and more connected to your jovial spirit by the weekend. Think of this time as a gift from the universe to truly delve into the subjects you previously considered too taboo to study. The growth you are undergoing is eventually going to benefit future generations.ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER
Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Rising
Important friendships in your life are taking you for an emotional spin. The issue is not a lack of love or care, but you’re evolving at a fast pace, while others are not moving at your speed on the path of personal transformation. To maintain these relationships, you may want to offer help in evolving their personal lives, too. But don’t come on too strong by telling them what to do. Make minor suggestions and be a tender source of support throughout their journey. Caring can go a long way and, before you know it, they’ll be teaching you a few things about life and the path to personal empowerment.

Sagittarius Sun & Sagittarius Rising
Start the week by making a conscious effort to get in the good graces of your boss. In order to do so, you will have to prove that you are a team player. This means burning the midnight oil with colleagues to create great ideas that your company will adore. Tensions with coworkers may arise due to the fact that you don’t see eye to eye with them, but you’ll have to compromise and respect their suggestions or critiques. Creating a harmonious flow in the office will allow them to express their points of view and have an active role in the artistic process — something you’ll be praised for down the road.

Capricorn Sun & Capricorn Rising
Taking financial risks scare you because you like to know the outcome of all situations before you invest your time or money. This week, however, you are wanting to jump headfirst into a financial opportunity that seems too good to pass up. As with everything that seems amazing at first, it is important to do the research before giving all of your resources to it. Ask a friend, family member, or trusted confidant for their advice before making a rash decision. You’ll find there is more to the matter than you had originally thought, which is why it’s best to get another set of eyes on the contract and assess the investment with a clear head.ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER
Aquarius Sun & Aquarius Rising
Recent revelations are forcing you to change your approach to relationships that are causing your tender heart distress. You are now able to make decisions based on your instincts, rather than cold, hard facts that haven’t even presented themselves yet. People may think you are foolish for only trusting the vibes you’re receiving, but you know deep down that listening to your gut is the only approach to take. Don’t let outside noise or voices confuse your emotions. People are always going to assert their opinions in your life, but you’re the one who makes the decisions that are right for you. Lean in to your insights and sentiments. Only you know what feels right for your heart. ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER
Pisces Sun & Pisces Rising
You are constantly being pulled in different directions, and it’ll seem hard to keep up with your personal life and work life this week. To be present in both worlds, create a strict schedule that includes “me time” and stick to it. If you are constantly working hard and giving your all to everyone else, your energy will be depleted. It’s imperative to give yourself a few minutes of calm during the day. That way, you will be able to create an enriching life — and maybe even build the empire you desire — with pep in your step.
