Gemini

May 21 - June 20

In the upcoming days, you'll find that your emotions are more erratic than usual. Your sensitivities are deepening because Mercury's entrance to Cancer is making you feel things that you've never been aware of. Be careful not to take your moods out on others, because they might not be as forgiving as you are. After three strikes, your crash-outs are going to be left on read, so don't pop off unless the drama is serious. Journaling is a wonderful way to process your current feelings.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

You’re wise beyond your years and have a wonderful ability to remember facts. Fortunately, you are a know-it-all who actually knows it all. The caveat is that your wisdom, although cherished and enjoyed by many, may cause friction in some circumstances because you know the answers before the questions are even asked. Let other people have their moment in the sun without interrupting their presentations, demonstrations, or monologues. They’ll appreciate your feedback, as long as you encourage intellectual banter and don't steal their thunder.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Striving to be number one often comes with a cost. This week, you're experiencing burnout at levels you haven't felt before. Instead of taking on even more and adding to your schedule, try to lighten your load and give yourself the freedom to unwind. If you think FOMO stands in your way, understand that the only way to regain your vigor is to take time for yourself. Even though you might feel like you're on your own island, those calm vibes are golden and worth the effort.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

You are great at offering a helping hand to those in need, but it's hard for you to ask for assistance when you’re the one drowning in the quicksand of personal and financial matters. Before you stubbornly resist seeking guidance in a moment of desperation, know that there is nothing wrong with needing relief. In fact, understanding the junctures that call for reaching out is important. It doesn't mean you are weak, but that you're strong enough to recognize when you can't handle certain situations alone.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

Beefing up your image means that you're going to redo your social media. Maybe that means changing up the aesthetic or deleting some videos you don't want your employer to see before an upcoming internship. Either way, you're trying to cultivate a charming aura on Instagram and TikTok. In the process, you might come across older posts that make you nostalgic and prompt you to reminisce about exes. Before you reach out, though, talk it over with a pal to ensure it's smart and not destructive to your well-being.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

Like a wrecking ball, you've been fighting for what you think you want. Now that the battle is almost over, you are realizing that it isn't worth the struggle. Everything that you believed to be important is changing. As your mind and heart evolve, this reveals that you should not give energy to dynamics or people that are in opposition to your ideals. Either they care for you or do not—never push for them to accept you. In time, you will find your flock.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

Manipulation shouldn't be a tool for resolving problems or for winning. Try to be mindful of how you communicate with your friends and family, as you must be delicate in your delivery. Any misstep in tone might make them feel like you're trying to impose your motives on others. Do not use the weaknesses or personal information of the people in your realm to navigate your own goals by appealing to their emotions. Never be cruel to be kind or vice versa. Game over, Sag!

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

On a surface level, you're trying to negotiate issues to be copacetic; the problem is that you're being too passive-aggressive and not standing up for yourself. By the weekend, you might have some minor resentments that are forming, which is why it's always best to put your cards on the table—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and find a medium to heal. Then you can compromise on your terms without feeling like you’re backed into a corner.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Aren't you the busy bee this week! You wouldn't have it any other way. Being able to run from task to task is a distraction from the mundane situations in your life that you don't wish to deal with; however, you’ll be forced to come face-to-face with matters you've been burying under the rug, so prepare yourself to switch gears on a whim. If there is anyone who can handle problems while doing errands and homework, it’s you. Use your airy diplomatic powers for good.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

You may come across as being overly theatrical this week, but it's just because your curiosities are piqued. The semester is winding down, and things are coming to a natural end, allowing you to invest your time in other endeavors. With light end-of-the-year homework comes the inevitable desire to get back in the groove of your friendships and other relationships. It's a good time to embrace your gift of gab.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Most of us reveal only what we want others to see, which is why it's no surprise you're taking a step back from being so openly communicative about the ongoing affairs in your life. This week, you are holding your emotional cards close to your chest. It's not that you are trying to evade others purposefully, you are just sussing them out. Still, because you’ve been burned before, you're feeling protective and trying to be wary of the intentions of others before completely trusting them.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Yes, you're acting mischievous in the sense that you are pushing limits to see what you can get away with for the sport of it; but you're also tightening up your own to ensure no one plays you for a fool. Boundaries only work if you deal with others as you’d like them to treat you. This invisible cord you assert in relationships is the best method to cultivate sustainable connections. Respect the lines others draw in the sand (and they'll do likewise) to create lasting partnerships.
