Aries
March 21 – April 19
At present, any tempting risks will probably cause more anxiety than they’re worth. You might feel as if you need to take a chance because you want the reward so bad, but the fact that you’d be going out on that limb while feeling nervous is not a good sign. When your motivation comes from desperation rather than intuition, that means it’s time to slow down and tap into your inner peace in any way you can. Don’t let nerves push you into regrettable actions.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Fear of what other people will think can lead you off the ideal path. You may be moving in a way that’s true to your inner self — until you see public opinion on your actions. While not everyone may be critical, you might perceive more negativity than there truly is, causing you stress. Even if you’re genuinely met with boos instead of cheers, it’s not a good idea to turn around and betray yourself. Allow your audience time to appreciate your long-term impact.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
You might worry that your mindset is “wrong.” Someone may tell you that you’re thinking about life in all the wrong ways, so you now ought to adhere to their “correct” way of thinking. In the moment, it could feel like you’ve somehow been misled all along. Instead of allowing them to make you feel like you never knew what you were doing, slow down and see if you even want to take advice from them. Make sure their instructions make sense before following them.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Security might currently feel more like a prison. Perhaps you feel the need to end relationships, friendships, or agreements — anything to cut your losses and run! Before you burn all your bridges, it would be wise to check in with yourself and lay out exactly what led to today’s circumstances. The answer could genuinely be just a sudden pang of nerves, one that you’d probably regret acting on. Find your center and see what you can mend rather than break.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Your emotions might be clouding your self-image. It’s likely difficult to remember a time when you didn’t feel the weight of this doubt, but keep telling yourself that this is just a temporary emotion. If you didn’t believe that you could make it, why spend so much time dreaming about it and working to make it come true? Sometimes you have to trust the process, even if you feel like you’re not the person for the job. This feeling too shall pass!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
What you don’t know can still distract you! You might be so curious about someone or something that it’s taking up all of your time when other areas of your life genuinely deserve your focus. Whether you’re fascinatedly researching an unsolved mystery on the internet, or you’re trying to get in the head of someone mysterious in your real life, your attention needs to be called back to yourself. You can give these matters some of your attention — just not all!
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Your anxiety might not be your own. Someone around you or even a group of people may be filling your head with their fears, whether they’re purposefully trying to get you on their bandwagon or simply honestly afraid of something. While it’s easy to get sucked in once you hear all the many reasons that they’re worried, you’re likely to be stressing yourself out without a true personal reason. Misery loves company, but you don’t have to join in with them!
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
An authority figure in your life might be causing you stress. You may be receiving a lot of extra tasks or negativity from someone who’s your superior or elder. No matter how much you respect them, there’s a limit to what you can take. Too much work can drive you to exhaustion, while excessive negativity is equally draining. Do your best to steer the conversation in a positive direction, and be honest about what you can handle. It’s not worth your peace of mind!
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Uncertainty may be causing you anxiety. There might be an upcoming trip that you’re going on, but the details haven’t quite been finalized, or you could be studying for a big test, but you’re still struggling to memorize key bits of information. Keep reminding yourself that you’re doing your best, and your best is all you can do. You might not have figured out a solution just yet, but have faith in yourself that you’ll get it squared away in due time.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Keeping your word might be a challenge at the moment. Commitments that you made in the past may be more difficult to follow through on because of circumstances that you couldn’t have foreseen. As storms toss your ship to and fro, staying afloat may be difficult, let alone simultaneously staying true to old ideals. Don’t lose hope! Even if all sorts of stressors complicate your day, you can complete the tasks at hand. Stay strong — the hurricane may end sooner than you’d expect.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
What you hear about yourself from someone else may threaten your focus. Even if you’ve already got a lot going on right now, in the midst of everything you’re juggling, you may hear gossip about yourself that doesn’t quite ring true. Whether or not someone is spreading rumors about you, you have the difficult task of ignoring whatever’s being said so you can concentrate on what the real you is actually doing. Success is the best revenge, so pay them no attention.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Your routine may need revamping. Right now, ambition could be demanding that you do it all, with no breaks and no compromises. While this may seem doable on paper, in practice, it won’t be such an easy feat. Set aside ideas of doing everything and being everyone for everybody in favor of focusing on what’s reasonable to expect from you. In reality, you’re just one person. Once you set up a structure for a healthier everyday lifestyle, you’ll probably feel much better.
