This week packs in a lot of emotional depth for the signs. A solar eclipse and new moon in the watery sign of Pisces closes the series of Pisces eclipses from the last 2 years. This will be a time of awakened empathy and understanding of ourselves and others, a time to push past what has held us back and realize that new things are possible. The signs are all learning what will reorient themselves toward a more emotionally in-tune future, however this may bring challenges. Letting go is never easy.
Aries
You are opening your heart up to love. Whether you’ve met someone new, or have made a new friend that you care about, positive things are happening in matters of your heart. It takes strength and power to be vulnerable, and you’re one to have walls up at times, but right now healing is coming from allowing others to care for you, and allowing yourself to open up to someone else.
Taurus
You may be in a position of feeling judged, or having to judge another for certain actions. During such an emotionally intense time, you might find yourself distancing from the inner chatter of your mind and focusing on hard work. Remaining intellectual and distant from feelings can be helpful in certain instances, but remember to come home to yourself, and hold space for your feelings at the end of the day.
Gemini
You want to let go but there is something holding you back, Gemini. You’re known to see two sides in every situation, and right now it feels like a dichotomy between what you know is good for you versus what has always felt comfortable. Break down all the barriers and go deep into the unknown. You know what’s right, even if it does feel scary.
Cancer
You’ve been working nonstop on something, be it emotional work or physical work, something is now coming into fruition. Your goals are going to be actualized and it’s time for you to really take a step back. Soak up all of the work you’ve done and appreciate it, appreciate yourself and everything that you’ve worked for. You are stronger than people realize, and sometimes you don’t realize it yourself.
Leo
It’s time to strike while the iron is hot! Something important has come your way and it’s your job to take control of your life with your fiery intensity and get started on something new. You feel like you can process most of your emotions through passionate work and excitement in life. With the last Pisces eclipse behind you, now is the perfect time to get your creative juices flowing and create something new for yourself.
Virgo
You are feeling a strong bond in your life. You have so much intense love to offer and right now you may be feeling fulfilled. There is someone or something in your life that is opening you up through intimacy and trust. You’re not known to wear your heart on your sleeve, and staying cautious is important, but if you feel strongly about someone then let them in and fill you with light.
Libra
As an air sign, you tend to get stuck in your own head Libra. However lately that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Sitting with your past and the darker emotions that you tend to avoid is healing for you. Face the bad things that have happened with grace and beauty, you’ve already made so much progress through emotional understanding.
Scorpio
You are trying to find opportunity everywhere you can. For a while now it’s felt like you’ve hit a wall that is impossible to climb over, so you’re working with what you have. Luckily someone with your strength, resilience and talent is undoubtedly unstoppable. It’s a new era for you, and things are going to change even if you have to reach within and create the change you want yourself.
Sagittarius
In your typical fashion, you’re remaining optimistic during a time of intensity. However, what lies beneath the surface isn’t what you’re putting on for the rest of the world to see. There is more to you lately then others realize. While you can remain positive and be a source of light for those around you, inside there is something powerful that only you know.
Capricorn
Your earthy powers have kept you grounded through a time where it seems everyone around you is in deep waters. You’ve remained confident and cool, Capricorn. However, don’t come off cold to those around you. Everyone heals in different ways, so don’t be afraid to break down a wall or two in order to access something that might not feel productive in the physical world.
Aquarius
With so many people feeling so many intense feelings in their lives, your humanitarian side is coming through. It seems you’ve been focusing on nurturing those around you as a way to feel productive and useful during a time of powerful focus and change. Your unshakable friendliness is a force for good in the world. Share your powers, but don’t ever let someone take advantage of you for what you have to offer.
Pisces
This is an especially intense time for you, Pisces. We’re coming from a place where there was so much activity around your sign. You’ve been incredibly in-tune with yourself and others, however you may not be sure what is the right thing to do for yourself now? What is the path that you should go on versus the one you want to go on? Follow your heart and forget what an objective definition of right or wrong means, do what you feel is the right thing for you.
