Madame Miranda’s posts are written by M. Davis-McAfee and are based on the motivations behind each zodiac sign, as described on astrology.com, and the position of the celestial bodies mapped by theplanetstoday.com. While we appreciate the self-reflection that astrology can inspire, our horoscopes are for entertainment purposes only.
Get ready to tie up loose ends and dive headfirst into some serious introspection because a lunar eclipse is fast approaching. This week’s eclipse sits right on the cusp of Virgo and Libra, the last and first signs of the Zodiac, respectively. The placement of the celestial alignment increases its power, increasing the palpability of life’s final chapters.
Shortly after the eclipse, the still-full Moon will descend retrograde toward Makemake. As we move through the week, the cosmos calls us to consider how we can translate the reflections fueled by Monday’s eclipse into tangible, meaningful actions.
How will your poster do this week?
Despite what you may feel right now, you are at the helm of the ship of your life, Aries. You can deviate to a different course if you wish. This doesn’t necessarily have to be physical either. A change in direction could also indicate a change in tone, communication style, perception, or all three. You’re not as stuck as you might think.
By the end of the week, there will be a tense square between your ruling planet, Mars, and a waning gibbous Moon in your Third House of Communication and Sixth House of Health. During this time, be sure to pay close attention to the words you choose. Avoiding the possibility of misinterpretations will save you major headaches in the future.
Losing unhealthy parts of ourselves can be a painful process, no matter how positive this change may seem on paper. Give yourself time to mourn the person you once were, Taurus. That person was important. They had courage. Change does not inherently mean something negative. Your past self was not a failure because you are evolving into someone new.
Of course, this doesn’t always ease the pain of loss as we would like. Try to keep your eyes on the bigger picture. It’s okay to be sad now. But leave yourself room to be excited for what’s to come. There is a light at the end of this tunnel. Keep faith that the pain you are experiencing now will not be in vain.
There is a difference between fighting the natural ebb and flow of life out of courage and doing so out of spite. In fact, there are more productive ways to express displeasure than stomping your feet and crossing your arms. Rebel when necessary, certainly. But don’t start fires that you will only be responsible for putting out.
Use these negative feelings as a magnifying glass on your psyche. Try to sit down and carefully document your discomfort before the fuzzy logic of your neutral mind kicks in. You may be surprised at the kind of clarity you can find in these uncomfortable emotions. If you find that you are looking for problems where there were none, it may be time to find out why.
The longer we are content to remain in the background of life, the harder (and, for some, more impactful) it will be to move to the front. Some people might take this as a personal affront to themselves. Perhaps you have internalized these assumptions as fact. The stars encourage you to seek a more stable orientation this week.
Most of the time, this stability can be found in the way we treat others. Our internal dialogues can quickly change a situation in our favor. Instead, try to look at your current situation as if it were someone else’s. What kind of empathetic reflections could you extend to them? How would you feel extending this same grace to yourself?
Forgiveness rarely benefits the other party more than yourself, Leo. As much as your pride would like to focus on the idea that this grace will somehow allow the person who wronged you to get away with it, the stars urge you to change your perspective. You are not showing weakness or deference toward another person by forgiving them. You’re doing yourself a favor.
The grudges you have held on to so tightly affect you and only you. No one else feels the weight of these burdens like you do. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of retaining them in the first place? If anything, suffering even greater pain from this situation should be the affront that your pride detests. It’s time to let it go.
When unsolvable enigmas like yours appear in our lives, the solution is usually easier to detect than we recognize. Generally, the problem lies in the fact that we don’t like the solution. Your intuition is trying to tell you something important, Virgo. How much longer are you going to ignore his call?
Leaving the metaphorical can’t be done later won’t make addressing these questions any easier. Digging in your heels will only waste precious time. Midweek, you will be presented with an opportunity to tune into your subconscious messages. The stars urge you not to miss this opportunity.
We often perceive success and prosperity as an additive process. Our society has convinced us that if we earn enough money, fame, or other pomp and luxury, we will eventually achieve a level of greatness that feeds our soul and nourishes our spirit. In reality, this type of good luck is usually a subtraction game. That we can release to reach the next level of prosperity?
Take some time this week to consider any ideas, habits, or responsibilities that no longer serve you in a meaningful way. Maybe the path you thought you should follow six months ago is no longer going in the right direction. Facing these truths may be difficult at first, but isn’t it even more difficult to know that you are willingly walking away from the achievements you seek?
Establishing any type of family or community has its ups and downs, Scorpio. This will not be a linear process. As such, don’t let a few days, weeks, or even a month or two of setback discourage you. No matter how much regression you think you are experiencing now, it is impossible to fully appreciate the potential for progression that awaits you on the other side.
The important thing now is not to hide from this discomfort. Use it as a bounce board to propel yourself forward. Life’s most difficult lessons are often its most valuable teachers, and your current situation is no exception. What are you afraid of? How does that correlate to what’s important to you? Embrace this knowledge and use it as a light to guide your path forward.
Direct communication does not have to be aggressive and aggressive communication is not always direct. As tempting as it may be to express your emotions through a sharp tongue, the stars urge you to tread carefully. The satisfaction you feel from sharing your honest thoughts will likely dissipate faster than the consequences of the words you chose.
There is a way to avoid this conflict without waving your arms and hoping for the best. A positive trine between his ruling planet, Jupiter, and a full Moon early in the week will give him some much-needed insight into his subconscious. Finding the root cause of your pain before acting is a good way to prevent unnecessary stress.
We have limited control over our external environments. We cannot dictate how people will act, what they will say, or what cards fate will deal us on any given day. However, the power we have over our closest and internal environments is much more significant. Instead of dwelling on the things you can’t change, try to focus on what you can.
More often than not, greater stability within us begets greater stability elsewhere. While it may seem like these conflicts or monumental tasks require a combination of action and energy, this is simply a byproduct of our anxiety. Slow and steady wins the race, no matter how anxious we feel along the way.
Your sheer creative power is admirable, but it can quickly turn rogue if you’re not careful. The stars urge you to focus this energy on something or someone specific. Prioritize your goals and then create a game plan from there. You will probably be much happier with the results of a concrete, dedicated effort than with a chaotic hodgepodge of actions.
Give yourself space to introspect and evaluate what is most important to you at the beginning of the week. Consider how you could use your financial, emotional, and mental resources for your most important endeavors. Likewise, consider how spreading these resources across several less important goals is hindering your overall progress.
Be careful not to let your tendency to escape reality convince you that things are better than they really are. Of course, avoiding a problem is easier than facing it head on. This ease does not correlate with efficiency nor does it suggest that you are making the right decision. Over time, the delayed discomfort will return to you.
While the stars aren’t suggesting you fall down a rabbit hole of despair this week, they do suggest keeping your feet firmly planted in reality, no matter how painful that reality may be. Your future self will thank you for not putting off these problems for them to solve. And despite how you feel now, you, too, will feel better if you end this.
