Double Team Psychic Dream
By Michelle Tea and Jessica Lanyadoo

May 21-27

Fun fact: Venus corules both Taurus and Libra, and in all signs it governs love, the social urge, your personal value system, and how you like your food to taste (e.g., Venus in Aquarius may pepper a savory stir-fry with sweeties such as raisins and pears, while Venus in Capricorn would not appreciate such eclectic edibles, being a meat-and-potatoes kind of gal!).

Aries

(March 21-April 19)

It's a new moon for you, Aries, a great time to whiz forward and connect with all this wild energy rearing up inside you. You are the king of your very own kingdom, which basically means you rule. Just make sure you don't accidentally incite a peasant revolution.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20)

The time is right to make nicey-nice after all the nutty hoopla that went down in your sphere recently. If you managed to get through recent weeks without accruing miscommunications, we at the Psychic Dream Laboratories would like to study you.

Gemini

(May 21-June 21)

Bow down at the feet of what disappoints you this week, Gemini. Humility may not make up for any letdowns, but it'll make them easier to endure and easier to learn from. Look at where you may have dashed ahead of yourself and start from the beginning again, brick by brick.

Cancer

(June 22-July 22)

The bullshit detectors will wail at the slightest hint of shallow fakery this week, Cancer, so if something feels a tad superficial, better toss it fast. It's time to make some real decisions, ones that reflect what you really need. Whip up a game plan that maps your truest, most noble desires.

Leo

(July 23-Aug. 22)

Things are moving faster than they appear to be, Leo. But just because the winds of change are blowing in your direction, it doesn't mean you won't have to make some crappy compromises before you're back on top. Lions always look fearless, so you've got that inherent advantage. Just make sure your moves are equally tough.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're headed in a new direction, Virgo, but don't bite off so much of the Kielbasa of Life that you end up with, you know, too much of the Kielbasa of Life. That said, please keep investigating these sassy new passions that threaten to lead you to a thing called happiness.

Libra

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be clear about your boundaries, Libra. What boundaries? Exactly! Things are changing all around you, and what you keep out of your life is just as important as what you roll out the red carpet for. Guard against selling yourself short – it's time for you to honor your raw potential.

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Whoa, Scorpio, has life gotten intense or what? If you're having a hard time seeing things clearly, check out what's in your way and get rid of it, especially anything that stands between you and your deeper self. Put decision-making on hold and work on clearing out some inner space for a meeting of your minds.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Well, you're right, Sagittarius, something needs to change around here, but it may not be what you think. How about changing your mind – it's begging for some fresh new perceptions. Trying to change people or other bothersome things will only exacerbate the frustrations you've been so heroically enduring.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If it feels like the answers to all that's vexing you linger just outside your grasp, taunting you, you're correct. But here's a new thought: you're not supposed to know the answers right now. Not when there's so much to learn just by sticking your nose in the book of your own emotions.

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

We do believe you're carrying around a rather pointy principle or irritated idea, one you cling to despite the fact that it jabs and pokes everything in its path. This is a good week to let it go. Yes, everything may go to hell as a result, but it's one of those times when you must destroy in order to create.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20)

Know what would make you feel really great right now? Participating in your own life. It'll sharpen your sense of personal integrity and relieve any numbness you might be experiencing as a result of an astrological mafia leaving animal heads in your bed.
