Double Team Psychic Dream
By Michelle Tea and Jessica Lanyadoo

Feb. 25-March 2

Aries (March 21-April 19)

We beseech you not to sit around worrying about what is to happen, noble Aries. If you must worry, worry about what you're contributing to the situation at hand. It's a good week to remind yourself why you've invested in the things most important to you – and that your identity is separate from others'.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Dude, possessiveness is not going to work for you this week at all. It's going to make you look like a stalker, or paranoid, or a paranoid stalker. We see through your happy face, Taurus, even if nobody else does. The best way to distract and relieve yourself is through physical activity.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Gemini, the best way to get through this week of overwhelming activity and inner uncertainty is to stay openhearted and open-minded. We see you struggling to pull yourself out of the funk you've been in, but what you're doing to help yourself might be part of the problem. Try something else and see if you don't get a different, more vibrant result.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

We're ordering you to maintain your sense of security at all costs this week, Cancer. We want to see you rock solid, because it appears that the alternative is indulging in self-loathing, and who wants that? Not your friends at Psychic Industries. Power struggles reveal your low self-esteem; sit them out.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great week to put into practice all the work you've been doing around issues of codependency and autonomy, Leo. The universe has arranged a runway for you to walk the walk you've been studying. The time is right for making personal investments with no concern for the payoff.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You need to make a decision, Virgo. The question is, where do you want to be coming from? What do you really hope for? From where we sit, it looks like a choice between worry and a devil-may-care flinging yourself into the universe. We can't make the choice for you, but you know how we feel about worry.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Listen close, Libra: if there's any jealousy or possessiveness stashed in your basement, it's going to start thumping and pumping like the telltale heart and drive you completely mad and ruin this new thing you're considering inviting into your life. You're antsy to move forward, but you need closure.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Independence and autonomy are the issues at hand, Scorpio. You gotta have them both, and your family – birth, chosen, whatever – has gotta have you, and how are you going to negotiate your desire to be there for them and your urge to run the hell away? Check in with yourself this week.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week looks like it could wind up being pretty frustrating and annoying, Sagittarius, but the good news is that it'll only last seven days, and then you get a new one. Freshen your head by staying open to new perspectives, from within yourself and from the mouths of those annoying people around you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You needed to start a dialogue with your relationships, one that covered how your own recent changes have caused you to need your relationships to change. Now that you've initiated this conversation, you're feeling overstimulated. Take a time-out, Capricorn. The situation will still be there when you're refreshed and ready to deal.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Letting yourself become entangled in tired-ass, emotionally draining relationship dynamics will blow your ship way off course this week, Aquarius. Your need to isolate and separate from your relationship(s) will prevail, regardless of how you try to manage the situation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The sad, bad fact of this week, Pisces, is that you're going to have to make concessions and compromises you just don't want to make. You're also going to process the situation obsessively, so we suggest talking a friend's ear off or writing a short story about it, rather than letting it loop endlessly in your head.
