Double Team Psychic Dream
By Michelle Tea and Jessica Lanyadoo

May 12-18

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Holy crap, Aries, the streets of your life are crawling with opportunities. Good opportunities, really fabulous options. But the fact that they're all stellar just makes picking out the ones you actually want much harder. Even a powerhouse like you can't take on everything that's being offered.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

By the time the new moon rises in Taurus at the week's end, you'll feel in your body the righteous path you're on. Prepare to spend the next seven days effortlessly in your element, totally checked into your own needs, feeling wicked proud of the tip-top shape you've whipped yourself into.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

We hate to keep repeating ourselves – no doubt you do too, Gemini, hater of things repetitive – but we must remind you that things need to develop at their own pace. If we keep needing to say it, we bet you keep needing to hear it. Lay off the Veruca Salt act; the action you crave is creeping your way.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Cancer, you're in the process of developing new relationships to some important and elemental parts of your life: i.e., your family – whatever that loaded word means to you. It's a good week to delve into the messy business of the folks who sprung you into the world or the folks you've gathered around you for refuge.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're such a creative sign, Leo. And this week we see you putting your talents to work by nurturing a more creative relationship to your feelings. While last week saw you stewing in a soggy pool of doubts and pouts, this week we're watching you skip down the goddamn street holding your own hand.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don't let people get in your way this week, Virgo. It's time for you to plow forward doing exactly what you feel it's necessary to do. It looks like things could get ugly, but if there's something you've been needing to say to someone, we suggest you do it, even if you just know they're going to have some sort of horrible reaction.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

What'll it be this week, Libra? There's so much emotional activity in your sphere, and we see you waffling between allowing it to bring out your dark side – located, of course, adjacent to your deeply sad side – and letting it elicit more noble Libra qualities such as harmony, balanced thought, and kindness.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Damn, Scorpio, it looks like you're feeling hella good about yourself this week. Please, enjoy the nice internal weather – you deserve it! We're happy to see you feeling so grounded and present, especially after surfing all the chaotic changes that have led up to where you are now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It's hard to describe the sensation of things being off, ain't it, Sag? You'll be nagged by that unpleasant feeling all week, and it looks like the trick is to not ignore it or pretend it's not happening. Be present with the bugger and see if it doesn't provide you with an unexpected route to some needed liberation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For another sign, the energies swirling around would be simply great. You, Capricorn dear, are a special case. We urge you to get maximum creative this week; don't be lazy and rest on good fortune and praise. We predict you'll resist our advice, but we simply insist: put this week aside for some creative, self-loving playtime.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Sometime in your past you built some pretty impressive walls of resistance, Aquarius. Obviously it seemed like a good idea at the time – hell, maybe it was a good idea. But now you're starting to realize that the monsters are seriously inhibiting your growth and development. Are you gonna tear them down or what?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It would be nice, Pisces, to understand the direction you're heading in, but seeking clarity isn't going to help you this week. We like to see you following a willful path, but you're getting yourself into trouble. Look into therapy, or have a conversation with someone who understands your situation a little better than you do.
