The Moon will be in Virgo starting Feb. 24.

Aries: It’s time to think about what you actually want, and not what other people want for you. Sure, it’s easier to stick to what you know or what’s expected of you, but is that what makes you happy? Distancing yourself from what’s familiar may seem terrifying, but how do you expect yourself to truly be happy when you know you’re limiting yourself? As long as you know what you really desire, the rest will figure itself out. Dive headfirst into the unknown. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Taurus: Love fills your social situations and pours down on you from those dearest to you in your life. You’ve put yourself out there and the results are more noticeable than ever. You’ve been chasing these feelings of joy and security from your peers for a while, so sit back and let yourself revel in it. To spend quality time with others is one thing, but to truly enjoy and understand its importance is another, and you’ve done both. Be proud.

Gemini: Something has happened unexpectedly or quicker than you thought, and you’ve entered a period of emotional turmoil. Although the situation may look like bad news, that’s not the case at all. The end of one thing does not come without the beginning of another. During this time, you will be able to see yourself for who you really are in ways that you couldn’t before. What occurred is not easy to stomach, but you have a sense that it’ll make your life easier in the long run. Know that and don’t forget it.

Cancer: You’ve been working so hard and you’re feeling proud of yourself, but you feel a slump looming. It’s tough enough already for you to simply stay on top of all the work you must do but all of your tasks and activities are catching up to you — and fast. You must reconsider if you really have the time to be doing all that you do, while maintaining breathing room for yourself and your friends.

Leo: Pro: you have plenty of brilliant ideas, concepts and projects that showcase your creativity as well as your personality. Con: you never actually progress with these plans. This week, that changes. An idea you’ve had is finally materializing, and you can’t remember the last time you’ve gone this far with a project. Throw open this door with enthusiasm and let the spark in your brain burn with frenzy. This has been a long time coming.

Virgo: Someone who has been a powerhouse of love and compassion in your life has not been providing you with the support you seek. You are tempted by bad ideas and unhealthy decisions, and you have no clue what to do. You may not for a while. None of your options appear very desirable, so the best idea may be to let time pass and sit with your thoughts. The situation you’re in may be deeper than you realize. 

Libra: Two different energies have dominated your week: one is inquisitive, inspired and social. The other is rebellious, spontaneous and animated. The energies could be two people, or two sides of yourself that you find emerging in new social situations. Whatever the case, this is good news for you. Explore these energies and think about what they mean to you. They have the chance to develop into something greater and bring about new opportunities for love and success in your life.

Scorpio: You have made a decision but it’s not bringing you the relief you yearn for. The decision may have been made hastily, like you just wanted to get it over with and not think about its ramifications. You must accept that what you thought you were seeing wasn’t actually there. Face the problem and confront the past instead of running away from it. If you wish to properly heal, you can’t just charge ahead without looking back. 

Sagittarius: You are fighting for your life. Whether it’s academic toils, a social miscommunication or internal conflicts, battles are erupting all around you and you’re feeling hopeless. You feel like the cards are not in your favor, and you’re soon to give up. You will find relief from this pressure, however. Someone in your life is going to step up and help you. They’re loyal, persistent and stable. Times are tough, but you will quickly be reminded of how much this person cares about you, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the way they’ll show up for you.

Capricorn: There is no avoiding what’s to come, and it’s time to accept it. You’ve been running for far too long, and you’ve reached the end of the road. The longer you try to delay it, the more it’s going to hurt. Yes, it will be horrible. But when you hit rock bottom, the only place you can go is up. It will be a slow and difficult process, but acknowledging that your fate is inescapable is the first step.

Aquarius: You’re reflecting on how your relationships used to be, and miss the hostility and tension you were so used to. Your relationships with family and/or friends are plagued with miscommunications and apathy. Despite this, you’ve remained calm and levelheaded. You know how to adapt and work to resolve something. With patience and calmness, you can restore the purity of some of your relationships. Others may require you to reevaluate. Unfortunately, you’ll never be able to make peace with everyone. You know where your energy needs to go.

Pisces: You are having relationship problems. You feel disconnected and unenthusiastic about your love life and it’s bringing out deep insecurities and a lack of self-esteem. This requires serious reflection, and you must learn how to harness confidence within yourself without being able to receive it from your lover. It won’t be easy, but love never is. Don’t be scared. Just because it’s rough now doesn’t mean it can’t get better later.
