A waning gibbous Moon passes through the last Zodiac Houses and opposes several celestial bodies. The week starts with the Moon facing the Sun. This continues all week with Venus and Saturn.

Celestial oppositions indicate a need to balance our emotions with the external world, love, money, and success. Saturn is a sign of a challenge, but not necessarily a deadlock. On Saturday, the retrograde of environmentally conscious Makemake marks a shift towards activism and naturalism.

How is your sign doing this week?

It is okay to enjoy good fortune for yourself. You might be amazed at how much joy you can get from sharing your good fortune with others. Aries, it is possible to help others without having to sacrifice or become martyrs. Do not let pride fool you.

This path may seem difficult or even awkward at first. With more practice, it will become easier. Think about those who have helped you on your journey. It's now your turn to take on that support role.

Do not let your stubborn streak get in the way of others believing in their values and positions as strongly as yours. Respecting others' viewpoints is a must for you and your friends.

You are urged by the stars to be flexible and open-minded this week. Your life doesn't have to be completely changed. You might be surprised at how little you can change. Taurus, take a vacation outside of your comfort zone.

It always seems to hurt the most when we are confronted with our closest friends and family. The intense vulnerability can sometimes prove too much for some people, and they might be tempted to retreat to their hidey holes. Gemini, the cosmos begs you to resist this urge.

This may be more difficult than other confrontations but it is also easier to forgive. Your loved ones already know your faults. Guess what? And guess what? They have theirs. Give them the grace and patience that you have for them.

Our platonic relationships can have a profound impact on our daily lives. Our romantic relationships are often the most important. But, they aren’t the only ones that should be valued. Cancer is another worthy topic. It can be hard to navigate this kind of intimacy. Despite this, the stars encourage you to give it a shot.

This notion can have both a positive side and a negative side. It's important to invest time and energy in strengthening your relationships. However, it's just as important to know when it's time to leave. They will be more messy if you ignore your emotions.

It doesn't necessarily mean that something or someone worked for you in the past. Is it worth the risks of staying the same? Someone as proud as yourself understands the importance of evolution.

Spend some time this week evaluating what's working and what isn't. Which obligations or relationships drain you financially, mentally, and physically? What can you do to improve your mental and/or emotional well-being?

Virgo, evolution in any form is not always a pleasant process. There is always wisdom and prosperity on the other side of temporary discomfort. As much as possible, trust the process.

If you find it helpful to rely on others around you, don't be afraid. You don't have to always be the giver, even if you're used at it. You will be a blessing to your future self for sticking with it.

Healthy confrontation can sometimes be what friendships need to grow from casual acquaintanceships to deep, lasting bonds. Although your social instincts can be very strong, it doesn't seem like what you need right now.

Do not let your insecurity convince you that there is no way to hold someone responsible within a larger context of love, respect, and compassion. You might find it helpful to picture the other person as you. What would you like to be treated? Forgiven? Libra, start there.

New year, new self, new ideas - the stars are aligning in your favor to make a big transformation. This is the right time to look at the bigger picture, Scorpio. How far are you from where you are now?

It's never too late for you to make a change, despite what your insecurity may try to tell. You don't have to be the same person as you were in the past. You shouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed to make a change as long as you are sincere in your intentions.

Your trials and tribulations have finally paid off, Sag-but don’t get too comfortable. There is still much to do. Next, you need to let go of the burdens that are holding you back so you can move on from this plateau.

Don't worry if you don't understand these burdens. This baggage will be more easily revealed if you realize it later in the week. You should be ready for surprises. The universe's path rarely follows our preconceived paths.

It can be difficult to see the root cause of interpersonal conflict. This is a problem between yourself and the other person. All else is just a distraction.

The solutions will be easier to find once you have cut through the clutter. Mercury retrograde is moving backwards under your sign this week. This makes it even more important that you do not allow for misinterpretation or doublespeak. Talk clearly and directly.

Aquarius, just because something seems exciting doesn't necessarily mean that it's worth your time. All that glitters is not gold. When you are deep in the desert of normalcy and familiarity, be wary of the illusions that novelty can create.

The stars ask you to reevaluate your relationships this week. Do you keep these people and habits around for their benefit? Is it the lure of newness and rebellion that is drawing you to these people or habits? This is a crucial question that must be answered honestly.

Pisces, it is not your job to accept the negative emotions others project on you. You have the right to advocate on your own behalf in any form: physically, mentally, emotionally, and otherwise.

You have the power to ensure that your mind and body are always heard and taken care of. It takes effort on your part. Pay attention to your inner compass this week. What do you feel? What is the body's reaction? This intuition will guide you in the right direction.
