You have always been sharp and observant, to the point where you sometimes discover information you would rather not have. You can see underneath the cheerful facades where people are; No matter how hard you try to pretend that everything is fine, you are unable (and often unwilling) to look away from the truth. Sometimes, your perceptive nature seems exhausting—and living in ignorance is so nice and easy—but this week, you'll be happy with the clarity you have. New insights will change your life for the better.

Some people excel at planning, coordinating logistics, and paying attention to detail… but maybe you're not one of them. You prefer to throw caution to the wind, confident that everything will turn out well. However, this week it is important to pay attention to the boring practicalities of adult life, no matter how much you prefer to ignore them. Organize your bills, organize your workspace, and set a schedule you can stick to. By doing this, you are building a safe and supportive structure that will make it possible to have unbridled fun later without it ruining your life.

You're not someone who reinvents yourself. As far as you are concerned, you are who you are, and all you can do is make the most of the hand you are dealt. There is truth in this. You are in no way imperfect or deficient. But this does not mean that you cannot change and develop. If you're stuck in a rut or dissatisfied, this is your chance to reimagine your life. You've held yourself back for a long time, but no more. Chase the dreams you were too afraid to pursue. Trust in your ability to grow.

This week you are likely to feel more fragile than usual. Comments that would normally roll off your back may have a deeper impact. Simple mistakes have the power to shake your self-confidence. Your usually strong sense of self may fluctuate. If that's the case, and there's a voice in your head telling you that you don't “deserve” to feel that way or that you need to be tougher, your job is not to listen to it. Everyone suffers from self-doubt. It's not something to be ashamed of. Punishing yourself won't make you stronger, but treating yourself kindly can.

You may not consider yourself an authoritative person—you don't necessarily seek leadership positions or have much interest in telling others what to do—but the people in your life look up to you, perhaps more than you realize. They come to you for advice. They value your opinion and even strive to make you proud. Your connections run deep. This week, make sure to spend more time with the people you care about. Show your friends like this is the most important thing you can do, because it is.
