Early Monday morning, a lunar eclipse in curious Gemini will mark a major culmination. An idea that’s been in progress for a long time might reach its final form; a feeling that’s been hiding just out of sight might finally come blazing into vision. It may feel, lately, like we’re all trapped in the middle of things, but this eclipse is a time for real change, a time for things to happen.

Then, on Tuesday afternoon, communication planet Mercury enters questing Sagittarius. Your thinking might become less probing and intense; instead, you may feel a restless idealism, a sense of optimism that the world  holds so much worth learning about, after all, and so much worth seeing.

So many of your daily activities are things you do only because you have to, because they’re necessary for your survival. So many of your daily activities are things you do because they’ve become automatic, because they require little of your limited reserves of energy. There’s nothing wrong with this, but over time, you can start to forget your fire, your passion, your truest self. So this week, try to focus on the activities that bolster you, that challenge you, that feed your heart. Give yourself the opportunity to stretch your legs, to stretch your mind, to do what makes you feel alive.

Changing your mind can make you feel unbearably vulnerable, as though it’s an implicit admission that you’re fallible. It can even feel like a moral shortcoming, as though it’s a betrayal of yourself and all your old ideals. But none of that’s really true; it’s just that some times call for continuity, and others call for transformation. This week, if you feel called to change your mind or your heart, consider the possibility that this is exactly what the world needs from you right now. There’s power in endings and release — in letting old cycles end so that new ones might begin.

There are times when self-doubt can serve a valuable purpose. There are times when your doubt protects you —it can check your wilder impulses, or call upon you to reflect. This week, though, is a time to shed some of the doubt that’s been holding you back. This week, you might feel called to return to your boldness, to your wildness, to the biggest version of yourself. This isn’t to say that everything will suddenly become easy again, or that everything you do will be perfect and golden. It just means that right now, you’ll learn more from acting with daring than with restraint.

You’ve done a beautiful job of building a home for yourself in a hostile world. Maybe it’s a physical…
