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.
The New Moon phases always indicate rest, slowing down and reflection. This week, we approach the beginning of this downtime as a crescent Moon flies through the Third House of Communications, the Fourth House of Family, and the Fifth House of Energy. As a result, you may feel like you’re stuck on a treadmill that’s slowing down despite your best efforts to speed up. As frustrating as it may seem, consider it a blessing, not a curse. It is a gift, not a punishment.
Neptune, which rules imagination and intuition, and Mercury, which rules intellect and reason, form a conjunction this weekend. Prepare for an influx of information early in the week that will foreshadow events to come. You are at a crossroads of several paths forward. While this is an incredibly exciting time, it also requires us to manage our energy into something mediated and deliberate, not manic and rushed.
How will your poster do this week?
Time is not as short as you think, Aries. You have a break to mark some goals and projects and save them for later. The stars offer a much-needed boost of encouragement towards the end of the week as the waning crescent Moon conjoins its ruling planet, Aries. As ironic as it may seem, it’s time to get active and rest.
Of course, deviating from the norm is bound to feel a little uncomfortable and strange. Don’t let this feeling stop you from the process. Just because you’re not used to something doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad for you. Give yourself time to acclimate to this slower speed.
If you never take the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, what is all the work for? Take time this week to do things that bring you joy, those that aren’t housework or other daily tasks. Regardless of whether you take this brief respite, the monotony of everyday life will continue to drag on, creating work and problems to attend to.
The longer you wait to find the perfect time to focus on yourself, the more time you will have to create excuses for why you shouldn’t do it. Your cosmic alignment requires some TLC, emotional or physical, and you would be wise to listen to it, Taurus.
You’ve almost grown tired of looking for solutions in all the obvious places. What if it’s time to venture off the beaten path? Who better than you, Gemini, to expand the possibilities of your imagination? Start weighing your unlikely options before throwing in the towel. You are closer to your goal than you think; Don’t lose hope now that you’re in the final stretch.
Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Crazy dreams only become fantastic realities when informed action is put into play. Be sure to pause your explorations from time to time to reassess where you are in the real world. That balance is where the magic happens.
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often lose sight of what we really need to enrich our minds and hearts. Our vision focuses on the essential and less on the higher pursuits of love, creativity and joy. Therefore, it is essential that we take the time to review the things that our souls require: the ingredients that make us usso to speak.
The stars are creating the ideal alignment to practice this exercise this week, Cancer. At the beginning of the week you will be presented with an opportunity to face what you long for (or, on the contrary, want to avoid). Don’t be quick to ignore your needs for the convenience of others.
Metamorphosis can sometimes be an uncomfortable experience, but that does not make it a totally negative experience. It is this discomfort that often serves as the most memorable teacher and guide. The important thing now is to keep your eyes fixed on the goals, values or dreams that you hope to see realized on the other side of this transformation.
Choose your steps carefully this week. There is no point in getting too impatient and making careless mistakes in a hurry. Calculate your next moves before acting on them. Despite what your ego may tell you, everyone could benefit from a few extra seconds of reflection. You may be surprised at how much smoother the road ahead becomes with this new approach.
As we approach the spring equinox, daffodils bloom and crocuses begin to poke their heads into their new surroundings. Why not you too, Virgo? Take some time to explore something new this week. Visit a place you’ve never been, attend a workshop, connect with someone you’ve been meaning to start a friendship with. The stars are aligning in your favor.
The most important part of this exercise is that you start small. Continue to advance your aspirations toward more achievable goals. You may not be able to turn your life around and start over. But you could at least dip your toes in the water to see how it feels.
When we’ve tolerated poor treatment for so long, standing up for ourselves can feel like we’re breaking the rules. Don’t let your people-pleasing tendencies get the better of you, Libra. You have the right to defend yourself even if that is not something those around you are accustomed to. If they deserve to stay in your life, they should be willing to acclimate.
Despite how similar they may feel, there is a difference between selfish aggression and self-compassionate motivation. Your intentions determine the distinction. You have one life to live and a limited resource of emotional, physical and mental energy. It is your right to make sure that nothing and no one wears them down too quickly.
An out-of-calibration internal compass can often lead to stationary thinking, that is, a kind of mental paralysis in which there is seemingly no way forward, so no reason to move. You have two clear solutions to this problem, Scorpio. You can stay still and accept the limits of your comfort zone, or you can go out and explore why your internal compass failed in the first place.
Surely you know which is the most productive option. This process requires us to take a hard look at ourselves, and that is easier said than done. But rest assured: the job won’t get easier the longer you wait to attend to it.
It’s never too early to start spring cleaning, whether physical or emotional. As we approach the transition to a new season, consider what things in your life might be worth releasing. Old rubbish causing undue stress, old relationships doing the same thing, only you know in your heart of hearts what those details might be.
If you still don’t think you know, listen to your internal signals. Pay close attention to your surroundings when you notice your mood or inspiration starting to wane. Your subconscious handles the ins and outs of your daily life better than you think. The process may take time, but the formula is simple: listen, reflect, release.
Taking care of your basic emotional needs requires as much discipline as giving them up. Fortunately, you have a lot of practice doing the latter. So, it stands to reason that you have the ability to extend this same energy to the former. And, in fact, the stars are asking you to do just that this week. Self-care is not a one-time step, Chap. This is an ongoing effort.
Too often we associate self-care with aggregate responsibilities, extra time dedicated to non-work activities, etc. But what if you could take a week to eliminate things from your life in the name of self-care? What fears, arguments or strange responsibilities overwhelm you? Letting go of these burdens can be as enjoyable as any 8-hour spa day.
Logic doesn’t always listen to our passion. The sooner a better balance is achieved between these two driving factors, the less rocky the waters will become. This is mostly a mind game, Aquarius. It’s up to you to make sure your ambitions don’t become a runaway train that not even you can stop. Transformations await them, but they are not immune to a hasty decision that slows their progress in the meantime.
You may be surprised at how quickly you can acclimate to this new, slower environment. After all, it can be hard to know how exhausted you are when you’re still in the middle of the race. Consider this brief slowdown as a gift to your future self. You will appreciate it sooner or later.
A significant conjunction between your ruling planet, Neptune, and nearby Mercury, which rules intelligence and reason, will provide some much-needed clarity for the weekend. Last week, the stars indicated that it was time to reach out and handle one problem at a time. This week, the cosmos calls you to begin removing the obstacle in front of you.
Remember, Pisces: slow and steady wins this race. You are not competing against anyone else in this endeavor, with the possible exception of your former self. Conserve your energy so you can arrive at your end goal invigorated and ready to enjoy your success, not exhausted or bitter.
