Horoscopes

The stars suggest you'll start several projects this week and then need to lie down for six hours. Mercury entering your sign brings energy—specifically, the energy of everyone around you, which you'll absorb completely. Consider saying "no" to something. Consider it thoroughly. Then say yes anyway because you sensed they really needed you.

Your routine will be disrupted by a minor change that feels enormous. The barista at your regular coffee shop will be different and you'll spend the rest of the day processing this. Venus suggests comfort this week—specifically, the same meal three days in a row because trying new restaurants involves decisions.

You'll have twelve conversations this week, process all of them simultaneously, and still be thinking about something someone said in 2018. The moon in your communication sector suggests this is a good time to send that text—but also a terrible time. You're correct about both.

The moon, your ruling planet, is doing something complicated that reflects your emotional state exactly. You'll cry this week. Maybe happy tears. Maybe sad tears. Probably both at the same time during a commercial about insurance. Your shell is necessary. Stay in it as long as you need.

Your natural confidence will be challenged by someone who doesn't text back immediately. The sun illuminates your need for appreciation—which is valid, even though you'll spend four hours wondering if it's too much. It's not too much. You're not too much. But also, rest.

You'll notice seventeen things that could be improved about every situation you encounter. Mercury supports your analytical nature—perhaps too much. Try not to optimize your optimization process this week. Sometimes good enough is perfect. You don't believe that, but the stars had to try.

A decision awaits you. You will weigh both options thoroughly, research extensively, consult three friends, and still feel uncertain. Venus suggests the answer doesn't matter as much as you think—but you'll think about this suggestion for several days before deciding whether to accept it.

Your intensity will serve you well this week, though others may find it "a lot." This is their problem. Pluto deepens your perception—you'll know exactly what everyone is feeling and they'll wonder how. Don't tell them. Keep your secrets. The mystery sustains you.

Adventure calls! But also, your couch calls. Jupiter expands your horizons while your nervous system requests they stay exactly where they are. The compromise: watching travel documentaries while under a weighted blanket. This counts as exploration. The stars say so.

Your productivity will be interrupted by feelings. This is annoying. Saturn supports your goals but the moon keeps bringing up that thing from your childhood. Schedule time for both—accomplishment and processing. Put "feel emotions" in your calendar. Treat it like the meeting it is.

Your birthday season approaches, bringing both excitement and the exhaustion of being perceived. Uranus shakes up your routine—perhaps someone will say "happy birthday" unexpectedly and you'll have to figure out the appropriate facial response in real time. Practice in the mirror.

You'll absorb approximately 147 emotions that don't belong to you. Neptune, your ruler, suggests this is fine and also deeply concerning. Boundaries are recommended—but you already knew that, just like you already know what your friend is about to text you before they do. Stay hydrated.
