4 Zodiacs Who Have Earned A Break This Week

VIRGO

You pushed yourself too hard, Virgo, and now you’re paying for it. It’s a testament to your mental fortitude that you were able to push through the pain this long, but sometimes a more gradual approach yields better results. You want to master your craft so quickly that you don’t give yourself room and time to grow. Taking things one step at a time is sometimes the only process that works. Until you’re ready to get back on your feet, it’s time to learn that rest is the fastest way to recovery. Just let things be for now and try not to worry so much. Treat this well-deserved break the same way you do the work, lean into it and truly soak up every moment. Focus on the task at hand, which is learning to unwind. 

PISCES

Pisces, you have literally “felt through the feelings,” and boy, what a ride it’s been. You have no more capacity for emotions, and it’s time to tap out. Lucky for you, your well-earned break becomes a reality this week. You can skip out on the heavy stuff and enjoy lighter fare for the next seven days. I’m talking rom-coms, pop classics, guilty pleasure by the bucketload. Anything and everything designed to be consumed and enjoyed in a purely surface-level fashion. No analysis to be made, no deeper meaning to uncover, and your tired mind thanks you for it. You need to recharge your intuition and your emotional literacy. Heavy use requires routine maintenance, and for you, Pisces, this is the form it comes in.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, you have prepared for the preparation, and anticipated every tiny detail well ahead of schedule. Whatever project or program you’ve been paving the way for, you can finally sit back and relax so you can enjoy everything you’ve been pouring your energy towards. Whether you pulled late nights at work to get everything ready for your vacation or spent hours creating a spreadsheet for your move, it was a plan well thought through, and there is nothing better than watching it all get executed as intended. Now it’s time to embrace what it feels like to have an empty to-do list and the boredom that settles in when you don’t know what to do with yourself. Take a nap—take twelve. You’ve earned it.

SCORPIO

You’re the one always standing up for what you believe in, always sticking up for friends and family, but this time, you’ve earned a break, Scorpio. You officially have permission to sit this one out. Drama follows in your wake, like you are magnetized towards it, but this one week of the year, it decided to call in sick and you are in the clear. Enjoy having no problems to solve, no arguments to mediate, no cold shoulders to be diplomatic with. You have not a care in the world, and nobody—I mean nobody—is going to mess with your chill this week.
