Read your weekly horoscope below: 

Aries

Don’t go chasing waterfalls. Wrong choices have consequences, and actions have repercussions. Remember that before you take on matters and situations that are over your head and out of your league. Your dreams can and will come true when the time is right. Have a little more faith in life.

Taurus

The scope of your work is evolving, allowing you to change the course of your destiny. You will be able to take on different opportunities and projects. This means you’ll make professional waves that will change the course of your life and bank account for years to come.  

Gemini

You’ve been stressing over money, which has been causing you major anxiety all week. Don’t worry! Money is on its way. The less you think about it, the faster it comes. And, it will in unexpected ways. Try to have peace of mind, and your wallet will expand.

Cancer

You need to get your finances under control. Before you purchase a new expensive gift for yourself and blow all of your savings frivolously, try to keep some of your money for another rainy day. Listen to the advice and wisdom your family taught you in your youth.

Leo

Setting boundaries with your close friends and intimate partners is something you are great at. But the boundaries are one-sided. This week, you’ll be the one in need of limits as you will push them for information and answers — most of which they don’t want to share now.

Virgo

It’s time for you to take a walk on the wild side, Virgo. You want to veer from the norm and embrace your eccentricities. Don’t be shy and hide your inner self. Your crew will accept you no matter what. They want to see the real you because they genuinely care.

Libra

Finding structure in your daily routine is harder than ever. Instead of waking up on time for work Zoom meetings, you want to sleep in. Give yourself a break from your late-night FaceTime chats with friends, sleep more, and hit the snooze button once before you wake up.

Scorpio

Finding comfort will be hard for you this week, so make time to decompress every day. Take a hot, healing bath to escape mundane stresses, then have a cup of herbal tea while you watch comforting movies. This will help you escape the season's cosmic chaos.

Sagittarius

You are hearing salty news about a member of your crew that you’re having a hard time believing. Question the rumor and challenge the gossip. If you do that, then you may find out that your intuition is correct. Don’t believe everything you hear from people you barely know IRL.

Capricorn

You’re very sensitive to others' needs and super grounded. This means you will always have everyone you work with's back, even if they don’t always have yours, because you have a big heart. Keep this in mind when the going gets tough this week.

Aquarius

Romance is blossoming around you. But you may want love so much that you are overlooking the red flags in your budding relationship. It is time for you to stand your ground and make sure you are seeing things in your situationship for what they really are.

Pisces

There have been some recent dramas with your friends, but now you are ready to make up with them. Before you open your heart again, make sure you are all on the same page. Then, you can move forward. This will ensure that you can trust them in the future.
