This week, the Moon is waxing as it travels through Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. Your emotions develop about your life and the people in it. Your questions about the next steps remain unresolved. You feel something new on the horizon, but you don’t know what form it will take. You know, deep down, that your life is going to transform, but you don’t know when or how. It is inconvenient to sit in this state of uncertainty, but that is exactly what you need to do. Change unfolds on a schedule that you have no control over; For now, your task is not to try to slow down (or accelerate) its speed, but to watch, wait, and pay attention to what happens next.
It is not in your nature to avoid difficult situations: you bravely run toward (and not far from) an emergency – throwing yourself first into battle. You know that ignoring problems won’t make them go away forever, so you’ll act on the spot—waiting increases your stress. But recently, life has imposed unwanted delays and necessitated periods of frustrated inaction. Perhaps you are worried that you are sharing the blame, that your strength and determination have deserted you. But this week, they’ll reappear, and you’ll finally feel bold again: ready to move, fight, and make choices with confidence.
Lately, you’ve felt like you’ve been buried under the weight of your obligations. Your boss, your family, your social circle – everyone wants So Many From you. Your first instinct may be to hold back, decline invitations, or hack into the privacy of your home until you’re all left in peace. But keep in mind that what you need may not be less activity in general but more of this kind in reality supports You are. This week, tap into the events and interactions that give you life. Don’t just focus on stress. Interact with the beauty and magic of the world outside of yourself.
You wouldn’t believe anyone had one soul mate or one true career calling; You know there are endless ways to reach true happiness. But that doesn’t mean you can be happy with anyone or that every job opportunity can be equally satisfying. You are good at adapting to whatever circumstances you find yourself in, but remember that you are not always so You have to be appropriate. Some people, professions, and cities just don’t fit right in. This week, you can find a surprising amount of joy in saying no Why doesn’t it suit you?
When you have even the smallest amount of time, effort, or love left in you, you feel a responsibility to share it. Maybe it’s because others blame you or you have a strong natural sense of generosity. In either case, while this ongoing giving is possible in the short term, it is not sustainable. You can’t keep draining yourself forever. This week, one of the most beautiful things you can do for yourself is to admit it when you get stressed and make your decisions based on this knowledge. Keep some of your energy to yourself. Otherwise, you will definitely not get anything at all.
There may be a part of you that is ready to quit everything you’ve been working towards. Whether it’s a personal project or a broader team battle, you’ve been struggling to see any progress and wondering if all that effort was worth it in the end. But even if everything seems too difficult these days, don’t give up just yet. You’re on the cusp of a breakthrough – even though you worry that nothing will happen. Your endeavors already have more impact than you can see from where you stand now. Keep going.
Sometimes, when you choose not to express your feelings, it is a matter of avoidance, of not wanting to risk conflict. But more often than not, it is because there is a good reason not to participate. You’ve had so much experience making yourself weak that you’re met with anger, embarrassment, or an unwillingness to listen with an open mind. However, this week it is worth being candid about your feelings, needs, and interests. You may eventually be misunderstood, and not every conversation may leave you feeling completely satisfied, but you will be lighter, at least, because you talked about yourself.
Kindness and a simple willingness to show up and listen can take you very far in life, but at some point, you reach a point of diminishing returns in beautiful play. In the end, you face an opponent who will not be affected by the generosity of your soul – a problem that cannot be overcome through negotiation alone. If you’re experiencing this right now, don’t make the mistake of thinking that you should double your kindness. Instead, it’s time for a new approach: Show your strength. Others may have underestimated you in the past based on the softness you showed, but they won’t do that anymore.
You are incredibly aware. You can see past the stories people tell and the masks they wear of anxiety and insecurity hiding beneath. But no matter how skilled you were at seeing others clearly — at acknowledging their weaknesses and loving them anyway — you had to work even harder to treat yourself with the same honesty and care. This week, you will have the opportunity to see your progress. The hard work of loving yourself wasn’t futile or impractical. So far, it is already blazing a new path forward.
Most people are afraid to start over – but not you. In work and in life, you know how to come up with new ideas and new approaches, and you are bold enough to act when a project or relationship doesn’t work out. However, this week it is important to make sure that you do not quit too early. If you know in your heart it’s time to move on, there’s nothing else to say. Just remember that, sometimes, it can be useful to play the hand that has been dealt, to get around the weirdness to find the magic that might be waiting on the other side.
The higher your expectations from your colleagues, friends, and romantic partners, the higher their chance of letting you down. The frustrating truth is that no one can be their best All the time. Everyone (even the ones you love and respect the most) go through moments of inadequacy, laziness, and unreliability. until You are You can’t live up to your own ideals all the time – no matter how hard you try. Try to keep believing in people anyway. It’s normal for them to disappoint you sometimes, but if you give them the chance this week, they’ll surprise you with how brave and brilliant they are in principle.
As great and beautiful as you find the people in your life, and as much as you really enjoy spending time with them, you never fully trust that they will give you You are Same generous openness. You assume that if you show anyone else your depth, they will find you different too Many. But that’s always a gamble in this life; It cannot be avoided. While opening up may make some turn away from you, many will react with acceptance and happiness. This week, hiding your weirdest and truest self will only cause you to lose the human connection you need. Trusting your friends enough to really show who you are is a risk, but it’s worth the risk.
Lately you’ve been very focused on everything you lack – on all the experiences, accomplishments, and relationships that other people have that you haven’t. thats understood. The world of possibilities is vast, and one human life can only contain so many. You can’t help but grieve over the roads not taken, and potential versions of yourself that never had a chance. But this week, try to avoid getting lost in the good sense of all that you haven’t done. It is much more useful and fun to focus on what you are beIn this miraculous life that no one else will live but you.
