DIY Astro Guide: What Your Horoscope Means This Week, 2/23/2015
Whether you spent the last week buried under two feet of snow or a mountain of email (or both!), the good news is that you survived it. This week is all about reflecting, recharging and rewarding yourself for totally conquering the worst that winter sent your way and always being a reliable shoulder to lean on for your friends. With this week’s focus on relaxation, we’re betting that whatever exciting adventures come next week, you’ll be more than ready for them. Scroll on to see the best of what the AstroTwins are predicting for your week ahead.
Last week had you popping bottles and pulling out your credit card for some major birthday girl splurges, but this week is all about recharging. Make some time for meditation, or if that’s not your thing, head to your fave yoga studio or hop on the treadmill for a killer workout. Give your mind and challenge your body — you’ll be surprised at how good it makes you feel.
