This Forecast in effect
March 24 to April 7, 2020

The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.

In this time of the COVID-19 crisis, a seriously dangerous virus affecting people of all ages, the changes you are asked to make are likely to be difficult. You might not be used to self-isolating at home or keeping a healthy 10-foot distance from others, and it could be triggering fears of loneliness, social disconnection and even fear of being trapped at home with people you don't always get along with. And in all those things, you're not alone – right now most of us feel some anxiety about how much our lives have to change in order to protect ourselves and others from getting sick. It's not an easy time, and unfortunately it's not likely to resolve itself in a big hurry.

This time requires that you muster your courage and be proactive, but ironically your actions need to be indirect—focused not so much on what you have to do but on what you should not do. It probably feels a bit backwards and awkward. After all, it's one thing to face danger by girding your loins and marching into the fray, but this time you need to march back indoors and stay away from others – something that might feel more like running away in fear. So the biggest challenge you might be facing, besides the virus itself, is having to change your mind and your habits.

It's going to take a different set of skills and a new mental framework to wrap your brain around this. It might take a few tries to get it right and to figure out how to cope with it all, but keep coming back to it. Your greatest strength right now can come from finding new routines; new ways of doing the same things you usually do. Stick with a plan – if you're at home, get up, get showered and dressed, all the usual things. It will help to keep things feeling a little closer to normal. Be aware that you're forging a new way of living that will carry all of us into a new collective future; a future that relies on doing things for the good of all so that we all can survive. And right now it starts with small things: wash your hands, stay home, keep a healthy distance from others, stay up to date and stay open to new ideas and activities. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay awesome. :-)
