As the sun moves into Sagittarius, you‘re being given new tasks and challenges of the softer variety. It seems this week your heart is being tested, from the strength of your compassion to the depth of your integrity, to your moral compass. Your mettle will be tried in more than one aspect of your life, and this week isn‘t one to let that immature trickster get the best of you. There‘s a mature person inside you, someone that has similar values as your peers, someone that believes in loyalty, honesty and hard work. You may not know right away what is most challenging, or which of your actions or word may come back on you, but as long as you remain benevolent and take the high road instead of succumbing to the corrupted actions of others you will succeed in your endeavors. Be sure to indemnify yourself this week, if you talk badly about you, so will everyone else. Ascendant: If you have nothing nice to say, hold your tongue

They say the full moon always makes people a little crazy, but since the full moon is moving through Taurus into Gemini, this makes you a little crazier than everyone else. Your emotions are out of sorts, starting with how you feel about all the loves you‘ve let slip away. Some of you are bound to do that drunk text thing to some long lost ex, and I can tell you it won‘t end well. You made your bed and you have to lie in it, not looking back is the only way sometimes. On the plus side, some of you are using it as an opportunity to apologize for that grand decision that put your career above your relationship, and letting the person you did that to know that you still care about them. As the week progresses after the Sun has moved into Sagittarius, you‘re feeling whimsical and needy. You might do something really crazy like propose at a family dinner, but I have to tell you, if it‘s not exactly the right time to be doing this, all the mistletoe in the world won‘t save you. Ascendant: Erratic and uncontrollable behavior

You start the week with that irritated glare, as though the moment someone gives you hell you‘re going to blast them with the coldest, sternest, authoritative, dry look you can possibly give them. The rest of the week you‘re channeling your inner Snape (Harry Potter), and that dry, unimpressed tone to your voice doesn‘t lessen up. You can‘t even crack a smile, or allow anyone‘s shenanigans to go unnoticed or unaddressed. You might be making some tougher calls than usual, but even with the full moon moving into Gemini and churning your emotions all you‘re feeling is unapologetic and apathetic. You‘ve made your choices, so has everyone else, and if you have to live with yours, they have to live with theirs. It‘s pretty heavy handed, and it‘s not fair at all, nor is the sun in Sagittarius very happy about it, but you‘re not here to please the sun, the moon or any of the planets for that matter. You‘re here to get the job done, be a little bitter about it, and go home where you can put your feet up and drop all the stress off on the cat who sheds all over you. Great, where is the lint brush?Ascendant: Grumpy Gus much this week?

One thing many people don‘t understand is how content you are to be alone. You like working alone as opposed to in groups. You prefer knowing the total difficulty and length of a project before going in. You don‘t like to rely or wait on others to finish their portions, you‘d rather see it as a whole and do majority of the work yourself. You trust very few people, especially when you consider something to be your baby. It‘s all hands off, don‘t mess it up, don‘t even breathe on it the wrong way. You like bringing ideas into fruition and the full moon is one that allows you to share more of your ideas and inspirations with the groups you refuse to work directly with. At the very least, if others want to take initiative and start on projects you have no interest in, you don‘t mind sharing your advice and ideas to help get them through it. You know if you could help the whole world you would but you‘re more content to take it one step at a time, sometimes one person at a time, sometimes one day at a time.Ascendant: You can‘t be responsible all the time

You‘re having an existential crisis but only because of the people you‘ll have to face this week. When you leave the past in the past, you do so because you don‘t want to relive your mistakes and dredge up old stories and be reminded of the person you used to be. Whether you‘ve learned to change or have simply gotten better at hiding your flaws, and covering up your mistakes is irrelevant because like everyone else you‘re trying to live a decent lifestyle and you can‘t do that when you‘re being shaken down and taken down by naysayers who linger in your outer circle of people. What you really don‘t need are the people who have known you for years, corrupting the people who have only known you for a millisecond. Making new starts and opening up to new people means you can change the way you tell your life story. It lets you omit things you‘re not proud of, and isn‘t that the key in executing a happier existence? You can‘t dwell on the things you can‘t change, and you can‘t constantly keep paying for the same mistakes. You wish you could do a better job at keeping your past buried, but isn‘t it always that thing that haunts all of us?Ascendant: If you‘re going to recall your mistakes, recall everyone else‘s too

Do you remember that episode of Astro Boy where his sister Astro Girl split herself in half so that she could play hooky from school but still appear to be there? If I remember it correctly, Astro Girl thought she could send her doppleganger half to work while she went out and gallivanted around town. She assumed this wouldn‘t get her in trouble because nobody would notice it wasn‘t really her at school, however, her doppleganger decided she wanted to have fun too and didn‘t understand why she was being punished and sent to school while her other half got to have fun. While you can‘t exactly split yourself in half, you will have to decide what will get you into trouble and what won‘t. You like work just as much as the next person, but there are times when taking care of yourself personally is far more important and rewarding. So it might be a day at the spa or the shooting range, you‘re so good at your job you can catch up later. The only thing you may need to worry about is whether or not your partner will find out how much you spent.Ascendant: Decide where your priorities are

It‘s when everyone can see the chinks in your armor, the weakness behind your eyes, the vulnerability in your step that you cower from everyone, whether they would be willing to give you a hand or not, you assume that a lack of perfection means a good scolding. Maybe it was the way you were raised. You always want those scales to balance, you always want to be seen as the perfect example of humanity, and the problem is that nothing and nobody is perfect. You can‘t seem to accept this at times, and you can‘t believe that others would want to help you when you‘re down or feeling at your worst, but it‘s true. The full moon makes you more paranoid than usual, and even if you accept help you‘re wondering what‘s the catch? What price will you have to pay? When will you be asked to return the favor? It‘s not that you mind, but in a dog eat dog world you know that owing people, and not doing everything you can to help yourself can mean certain destruction. You‘d rather not give people ammunition, motive and envy enough to pull the trigger. Ascendant: Don‘t let them see under the mask

You feel like you‘re saying goodbye to another chapter of your life, and moving on to bigger and better things. You can only hope that you can extract the good things from the previous chapter and take those things with you into the future. You know that with all kinds of growth certain people will grow with you and others won‘t. That you‘ll lose some friends and supporters and you‘ll gain new ones. That you‘ll see who truly had your back and who didn‘t. Whether you‘re making bigger moves to a new job, relationship or even city or country, you‘ll do so with the knowledge that life is fleeting, and that there are thousands of likeminded individuals in the world. You‘ll find more people out there like you, you just have to give it time, and be patient. If things are mostly staying the same, you could be experiencing some internal changes in the way you think, feel and act. It might ruffle some feathers if you‘re hosting family dinners later this week, but on the plus side you‘re far more equipped than ever to deal with the blow back on the changes. You‘re used to being the catalyst, may we well live up to the title. Ascendant: You‘ve made up your mind about the way things are going to be.

Half of you are feeling benevolent and generous where the other half are being downright precocious and entitled. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but recognition and respect is like a drug to you. Give you even the smallest dose of it and you‘re rolling in the grass like a cat on catnip. You can‘t handle people relying on you without losing your brain and assuming you‘ll move into the Taj Mahal next year. One great accomplishment doesn‘t automatically mean you get to drop all the menial tasks you were doing. You‘re probably not affluent enough to hire a maid and a cook, and a gardener, but you can waste your money on that if you want. It won‘t last long because you‘ll need to keep working as hard as you can to make your reality work for you. And I apologize to you humble Sagittarians who are making intelligent investment decisions, and putting away some money for your grandmother‘s home care expenses. You have your hearts in the right place, and selflessness is the only way you‘ll manage to succeed and stay happy. Ascendant: You‘ll go farther with honey than with vinegar

You‘re unsure if things like your finances will survive through the end of the month. You‘re usually so diligent about these things, but when a bunch of unexpected expenses hit you and the person in your family responsible for the family dinner becomes ill, making it fall on your shoulders, you‘ve got to pull a MacGyver out of your back pocket and pull it altogether in record time. You‘re also looking for more opportunities for work during this time, attempting to help your partner with their own work and life woes, and staying on top of your hobbies. You know that cutting down your work load will only give you time to reflect on things that make you depressed, so the key right now is staying busy and avoiding topics that will drag you down. You don‘t need another lecture on overworking yourself and not paying enough attention to your health. You‘ll go for a checkup when you‘re done taking care of everyone else. People have to let you get through this week without error and you‘ll make more time to shuffle around your priorities. Ascendant: Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

You usually assume that at least one day out of the week will turn into some kind of intellectual, friendly debate, you didn‘t expect that debate to continue into the next day and the next. You also didn‘t expect it to become more and more hostile as the days progressed, and a little personally offensive, not to mention rude. And you know you‘re in it for the health of the debate itself, considering other viewpoints in an attempt to understand others, their thought processes and what makes them tick. You‘re never in it to win it, nor do you believe there are truly winners or losers in a debate. It‘s purely a tactic used to discuss difficult topics by which there is no right or wrong answer. It doesn‘t have to turn into an argument, nor does it have to dictate your future at the company you work for, or with the person you love. You don‘t like it when things get out of hand and go too far, but some of you won‘t handle shutting down the debate very well. Some of you will lose your shit pretty quickly and escalate it to a level that does put something in danger, where others of you will walk away without giving it a second thought. There‘s no right or wrong way to end it either, but walking away leaves less casualties on both sides. Ascendant: Sometimes it‘s not worth it

You‘re in withdrawn, observation mode this week, people watching being one of your favorite past times. You like finding out the way people interact with one another, it‘s almost like studying baby gazelles in the wild like Crocodile Dundee. You‘re of course more likely to have earbuds in and music on low at the Starbucks so you can make out the whispered conversations, but everyone thinks you‘re obliviously listening to music, but it‘s the same idea. You might have a bunch of work to sort through anyway, or there‘s that writing project or book you always wanted to polish up. You‘re not sure if you‘re ever going to get it published, or follow the other dreams you have, but part of what makes life interested in learning new things and going on new adventures. You‘re most interested in how other people treat each other so that when you embark on this new adventure you know all the current lingo and mannerisms to mimic that will give you the highest chance of success. Too bad you can‘t be a fly on the wall in a number of board room discussions, you‘d likely be eaten alive on Wall Street, but man that would be some seriously juicy gossip.Ascendant: You‘re not exactly an alien, but you do have to take cues from others
