The sun entered Aries at the end of last week, marking the start of spring: The days will now get longer, and the air will get warmer, and the world will fill with fresh possibility. On Sunday morning of this week, Venus entered Aries, too: Now, the realm of movement and action will seem more beautiful, more fascinating, more irresistible than the realm of feeling. This is a week to feel yourself coming back to life, and coming back into your powers. If you want it, this week will offer you a sense of newness, of potential, of propulsive, forward motion.

Lately, it’s felt almost as if the world was designed to inconvenience you personally. It’s felt like that your whole life has become a demanding obstacle course, with nowhere to go to relax. It’s hard to be your full self when you’re so preoccupied by dodging traps and jumping hurdles. This week, though, some of the pressures and difficulties will recede, and some of your depleted energy will refill itself. This week, the world can feel like home again — not a landscape of hardships and barriers, but a place of beauty, too. A place where it’s possible to live.

It’s impossible to live for long in this world without internalizing, somewhere along the line, some cruel ideas about yourself. The atmosphere is full of poison, and it’s impossible to keep all that poison out. Maybe you’ve been made to believe that you’re weak, that you’re ordinary, that you’re not important. Maybe you’ve been made to believe you don’t deserve the love you want. This week will bring the chance to clear all the dust out of your head, and to believe in yourself with a bright, surprising joy. This week, you can do anything. You can make your life wonderful.

It can feel like you’ve been impatient for so long — impatient for the days to grow warm again, for the world to become beautiful again, for life to feel sweet and meaningful and interesting again. This week, your impatience will hum in your heart with a new, fiery urgency; it might feel frustrating, but really it’s a sign that there are still things worth hoping for, worth waiting for, worth yearning for. Everything’s been so bad for so long, but this week, it’s possible to find yourself slowly, magically, falling back in love with the world.

In collectively difficult times, it can seem wise to keep your personal feelings tucked carefully away. It can seem distasteful, even dangerous, to express your personal desires. But this week, the rules are changing a little bit. This week, it helps no one to hide your true self away, or to pretend you need nothing,…
