This is Leo's week to really shine. You'll feel a renewed spark in your personality after some time spent under the weather, so be sure to use it while you're feeling bright. Accept offered opportunities, step outside of your usual comfort zone, chase the feelings you desire.

You may even see an opportunity for responsibility, namely at work. Though it may seem scary at face value, do not hesitate in accepting it. It will pay off in experience if nothing else, and will leave you feeling more confident in yourself.

Virgos should spend the first half of this week setting themselves up for success. Prepare in whatever way feels right to you. Maybe that means ensuring you have a clear, peaceful space, or reworking your daily routine to one that feels more comfortable.

ADVERTISEMENT

You'll need this prep work done because the latter half of this week will be best spent on self-improvement. You've likely had a specific self-improvement goal or practice in mind that you've wanted to hit or pick up. Now's the prime time to do so.

Libra's week should begin with a healthy dose of self-care. Give yourself the time and space to be balanced, grounded, and even as you head into the rest of the week. You'll feel a bit of pressure within your relationships. Nothing super serious, but going in with a clear head will help cope with the strangeness.

You'll see a boost of optimism once that fog clears up, returning to the peace you channeled at the beginning of the week. Use this as a reminder that bad times always pass. Some faster than others, though.

Scorpios should start this week by engaging in some self-reflection. Remaining aware of our motivations, our desires, and our short-term goals ensures that we always have something to keep out focus on during uncertain times.

Especially since the rest of the week will be a little... intense. You'll be given some opportunity for change, for transformation on a small scale, but it might drum up more feelings than you were expecting. Reminding yourself of your goals helps you make a logic-driven decision rather than an emotional one.

It's hard for Sagittarius to come down to Earth sometimes, lost in their lofty, adventurous ambitions that always have their sights set somewhere new and far away. This week is about trying to stay closer to home with those visions.

ADVERTISEMENT

You can still expand your horizons in ways that feel fulfilling that also don't soar far above your current means. Reconnect with the small, local pleasures that fuel you. Lean into your natural optimism and find joy at home.

Make sure you don't move too fast too quick, though. You'll need to remain stable under all this movement and working energy. A strong foundation mixed with a steadfast determination will help you make good progress this week.

You'll have to balance this heavy social sharing with other areas of your life, but putting extra care in now will pay off in the future when those people will be there for you in turn. These people love you, and you love them; let that energy drive you!

This could mean indulging in self-care, spending some time meditating, partaking in a dream journal, or whatever other activity allows you to touch into your subconscious more. Practicing this now will prove to be useful in the coming weeks.
