Aries

This weekend you’ll be confronted with an amalgamation of your darkest fears. While you may want to run away screaming, take a moment to center yourself. Face it head on. You’ll find that fight is better than flight this week.

Taurus

Your car just broke down. If not in reality, then metaphorically. Check your rearview mirror, especially your blind spots. Be willing to talk to a mechanic; you’re not always the expert. And remember: objects are closer than they appear.

Gemini

You may feel yourself putting on a mask for others. This weekend, if you feel alone in a crowded room, try to take that mask off. Reveal the true you underneath. You can only let others in when you let your true self come out.

Cancer

You just jumped into a new romantic relationship. Stay vigilant, but keep an open mind about what might come next. Other people may tell you, “Be yourself.” This week, don’t.

Leo

Put some pep in your step this week. Write a note to yourself on your shared bathroom mirror letting everyone else know you’re the boss. If someone erases it, write it again in permanent marker.

Virgo

You may have a near death experience. If you see your life flash before your eyes, and not much happened, take that as a sign. Make some changes — you need more memories. The next time this happens, it will be far more interesting.

Libra

You’ve been in a rut for a while, but you’ve gotten too cozy. Take off the blanket, slip on your Boston Birkenstocks, and take this week on headstrong. Try something new: perhaps a different coffee flavor, or spelunking.

Scorpio

Someone unexpected may challenge your authority this week. If a two year old with a proficiency in biting approaches your ankle area, steer clear. Wear thigh highs.

Sagittarius

Stay alert, as someone will try to force feed you spearmint gum in an academic building. Here’s a tip: chew, but don’t swallow.

Capricorn

You take your beliefs very seriously, especially in regard to your preferred font. This week, someone will send you an email in neon Comic Sans. Stay calm. Take a breath. Block them or make a new friend. The world is your oyster.

Aquarius

Is it better to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond? Neither. Try to be a medium fish in a medium pond. But look out! There’s a shark behind you!

Pisces

Some things are going to change. Other things might stay the same. Distinguish between them, but not too much. Don’t dwell on the past, but don’t get too far ahead of yourself. Challenges will resolve themselves, except for the ones that don’t. Good luck.
