Double Team Psychic Dream
By Michelle Tea and Jessica Lanyadoo

Jan. 28-Feb. 3

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Damn, Aries, you're doing so good we think it's time to raise the bar a little so you don't get bored. We say, take some risks! Execute a completely daring act of trust! Even those of you who've majorly screwed up recently can pull yourselves out of your shame spirals and into a brand-new level of living.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It looks like you start off the week really connected to the people and things around you, Taurus, really invested in the glory of life, and then – bam! – you totally overdo it and need to rein yourself in and get back in the house. It's a good time to look at any mistakes made without sinking into a pit of blame and fear.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Some weeks are all about endurance, Gemini. All about the promise that things will change if you just sit tight and ride it out. This is one such week: the celestial equivalent of chronic fatigue is plaguing the zodiac. Resist the impulse to escape by indulging in vices and instead tend to your physical and spiritual health.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Are you excited or what, Cancer? We got totally excited just looking at how fabulous your week is destined to be. We can't even imagine how incredible it must feel to actually be you right now. You have so much of yourself to give – and an audience of admirers waiting to take a chomp out of you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It's important to give yourself a time-out for reflection, Leo, and this might be hard to do with all the activity flashing in your busy sphere. By the end of the week you're going to have to make some serious decisions, and unless you've actively worked toward gaining clarity, it's going to be tough.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The choice is yours, Virgo: you can face the big world out there with an open heart, some patience, and a bit of self-protection, or you can freak the fuck out and hop around from idea to analysis to idea in a fretful, worried state. We say, drop the anxiety baton. The first option is much more becoming.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This week you get to move forward with purpose and understanding, Libra! It's like all the personal-growth work you've been engaged in has finally synthesized inside your body and is enabling you to assert yourself in a way that feels crisp and clean and doesn't get in anyone's way. Good job.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The best way to keep your head clear this week, Scorpio, is to take one giant step back from whatever entangling dramatics you might find yourself close to. Give yourself the gift of your own company. Alone time is what you need, at least until the social swirl stops being so damn overwhelming.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You've done it, Sag, you've mastered the fine art of being among other people. This week you'll delight in the experience of being among throngs of people, in intimate one-on-one conversations, in casual gatherings of friends and acquaintances – all while being completely yourself! A triumphant week.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

OK, Capricorn, it's decision-making time. We see you've busted through some areas of emotional unrest that were preventing you from making these choices. Now you're ready to get started. We suggest checking to make sure your internal position is solid – and your execution creative.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

God, Aquarius, you're in this really great, really rich place, and you only have one person to thank: you! You've created a fine situation and should be proud. However, getting all possessive about your accomplishments will only put undue pressure on them and bring back the lousy scarcity issues.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

We want you to really understand, Pisces, that you're completely capable of protecting yourself in this weaselly, wily world. You're also great at taking care of business and making decisions. The sooner you comprehend how together you are, the sooner you can fling yourself into life with abandon.
