In close relationships, it’s possible to face the same conflicts and disagreements so often that they become rote with each side reciting the same talking points and nobody making any progress. Or internally, it’s possible to grow so accustomed to your own habits — even the bad ones — that you forget that things could be different. But on Wednesday, the solar eclipse in Libra shakes things up. With this new energy in the mix, you can finally free yourself from old patterns and find a new way forward.
Aries Weekly Horoscope
Although you recognize the value of collaboration, it can feel difficult to find the kind of community you’re looking for, and harder still to find people whose drive and ambition match yours. Everybody seems too wrapped up in their own projects to dream big with you. This week, though, that might change. Whether through your own efforts or a lucky coincidence, you can meet new friends, or reconnect with old ones, who can meet you at your level, and help turn your vague plans into exciting reality.
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
When it comes to refining existing routines, there’s no one who does it better than you. But when it comes to creating entirely new ones, you might struggle a bit. It’s hard to break from the way you’ve always done things: After all, you’ve done them that way for a reason. But if you’ve been wanting to alter your habits, this is a good week to go for it. Maybe you’ll receive some unexpected external support or maybe you’ll find the inner motivation you’ve been lacking; either way, change is possible.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
Lately, you’ve been filled with self-doubt: You fear your work is unimportant, or your creative projects meaningless, or your relationships hopelessly complicated. As much as you believe that everyone deserves a life filled with love and purpose, there’s a part of you that thinks that applies to everyone except for you. It’s not true, of course, you’re just thinking yourself in circles. This week, take a break from overthinking. If you do what feels good, and what you know you’re good at, you’ll find your way back to a place of confidence.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
There’s a good chance that something in your personal life has felt unfair lately. Maybe the housework has fallen disproportionately on you, or maybe — much as you hate to admit it — you’ve been ignoring someone else’s needs in order to focus on yourself. These things are normal, but they also can’t go on forever. This week, find a way to rebalance your relationships so that nobody’s asked to give more than their fair share, and everybody’s getting the care and support they need.
Leo Weekly Horoscope
Most of the time, you’re a good judge of character: you tend to know almost immediately whether a new person is someone who could become a friend, or if they’re just not your type of person. Once you form a first impression, you rarely end up changing it. But this week, people might completely shatter your assumptions about them. There’s more to most people than you see on the surface, and if you’re willing to give them a chance, you might be surprised who ends up becoming important to you.
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
You pay careful attention to life’s practical matters. While managing your budget spreadsheet and cleaning the kitchen aren’t the most thrilling of activities, you recognize that they’re important—and if you don’t do them, who will? But this makes it easy to see the physical world as nothing more than a series of never-ending chores; you forget that there’s pleasure in it, too. This week, remember that you don’t have to choose between fulfilling your responsibilities and enjoying your life. If you try, you’ll find ways to do both.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
As much as you think you want to transform your life, it can be difficult to do anything with that desire. Walking into the unknown requires all the courage you possess. This week, if you’ve been resisting change, you might get an extra push. The status quo could finally become unbearable, or the uncertain future could become more enticing, or you might finally channel the bravery you need. . Whichever it is, trust yourself, stop sitting on the fence, and take action.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
Lately, any change at all can feel like a loss; Even the end of an unhappy relationship or a job you hated can leave you feeling strangely wistful. It can make you want to cling to the status quo, whether or not it’s what you truly want. This week, try to muster up the courage to let go of what you no longer need. It’s only by traveling through the uncertainty of change that you can finally reach the excitement of a fresh start.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
You sometimes feel like the only person in the world who feels so restless and out of place. In fact, you get the impression that they all find life to be relatively easy. It’s hard to feel like the only one who’s having a hard time — but engage with others on a deeper level, and you’ll probably find that most of them feel just as confused as you do. You aren’t alone, and simply knowing that can make all the difference this week.
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like people see you for who you really are. This isn’t always a bad thing: Your coworkers, for instance, don’t need a view of the depths of your soul — but you do want to feel understood by your friends. Don’t make it harder for the people you love to see past the walls you put up. If you’ve been putting on a brave face or hiding the vulnerable parts of yourself, it might be time to let the mask drop.
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
Though you’re a bold and adventurous thinker, there’s also a part of you that wants a quiet, ordinary existence. The more steady your daily life, the more leeway your intellect has to roam. It can be hard to strike the right balance — stability can quickly start to feel like a trap, if you’re not careful — but this week, you might find a system that works for you. And if your routines do threaten to become stifling, speak up. The people in your life might be more willing to make a change than you realized.
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
You’re introspective by nature, so you know yourself well — even the prickly parts of your personality. You understand that digging deep means you won’t love everything you find, but also that the self-knowledge you’ll find is worth any embarrassment you feel. Sometimes, though, in your commitment to looking at the ugly parts, you disregard your strengths. This week, conversations with others can reveal qualities you’d forgotten about. Your friends aren’t just flattering you: Trust that they mean what they say.
