What Each Zodiac Needs To Hear Before January 25th

Aries (March 21st to April 19th)

Constantly preparing for the worst possible outcome doesn’t make you more equipped to handle that worst possible outcome were it to happen. It only prolongs the suffering and makes you hurt. Instead, imagine what would happen if something wonderful could happen instead. Learn to live from a place of hope, not fear. Life becomes a lot less painful that way.

Taurus (April 20th to May 21st)

Cut the people in your life a little extra slack right now. While it may feel like all your friends and family are letting you down and falling short, remember that everyone is doing the very best they can with the resources they have available. Try your best to be patient and understanding (and maybe even offer a helping hand when you’re able).

Gemini (May 22nd to June 21st)

Self-care is everything for you at the moment. Please do yourself a favor and truly take the time to slow the hell down and take care of yourself in the ways you’ve been putting off. Whether this is making that dentist appointment or simply tidying up your space, remember that self-care isn’t selfish. It’s necessary to stay sane.

Cancer (June 22nd to July 22nd)

Set firmer boundaries and become more comfortable with disappointing others every now and then. Because you are going to let people down. And not because you’re a shitty friend, partner, or otherwise but because that’s just how life goes sometimes. Sometimes, you need to say no and put yourself first.

Leo (July 23rd to August 22nd)

Not everything is as personal as it may feel. During the times when you’re feeling slighted, judged or otherwise, try your best to give others the benefit of the doubt and consider the fact that their behavior or viewpoint is a reflection of where they are at a given moment. In other words: stop worrying so much about what others are thinking about you because, most likely, they’re too busy thinking about themselves.

Virgo (August 23rd to September 22nd)

You’re allowed to move on. You’ve been clinging to a painful memory lately and it’s time to give yourself some grace. Whether it’s something did, something you said, or someone you lost along the way, you deserve to move on and let go.

Libra (September 23rd to October 22nd)

You deserve to be loved and celebrated, too. You always go out of your way to make others feel special that you tend to lose yourself in the process and forget that you also need some cherishing every now and then, too. Don’t be afraid to ask for a little extra attention and celebration.

Scorpio (October 23rd to November 22nd)

Reach out when you’re struggling. You don’t have to handle everything on your own, and you shouldn’t. You’re a human being and made to be loved. Please know it’s okay to need support. And, by the way, the people in your life love you and want to be there for you. So let them.

Sagittarius (November 23rd to December 21st)

Put in a little extra effort. In other words, give a shit about the things you give a shit about. Try harder at work. Go above and beyond for your partner and plan the date night they’ve been hinting at. Commit to your healing and sign up for therapy. Whatever it is that you’ve been neglecting, now is the time to address it and give it your attention.

Capricorn (December 22nd to January 20th)

Effort is attractive. The bare minimum is not. Lately, you have been giving so much of yourself to those who don’t really deserve it. As a result, you end up feeling resentful and burned out. Stop bending over backward for people who wouldn’t bother moving an inch for you. In the end, they’re not making you give them so much of yourself. You decided that. And now? You can decide differently. And better.

Aquarius (January 21st to February 18th)

You still have time to accomplish the things you want to achieve. Stop getting so caught up in the chase and give yourself a chance to enjoy the journey. Take a second and take in the beauty of the process. In time, you’ll realize this was the most important part anyway.

Pisces (February 19th to March 20th)

Quit giving second chances to those who you’ve already given three. Remember, patterns repeat themselves for a reason. Stop being surprised by recurrent behavior and instead accept people for who they are (or let them go). After all, it’s up to you to decide what you’ll put up with. Choose wisely.
