Embrace Your Inner Journey: Astrological Insights for January 2026

All Signs

The new year brings with it the need for an inward journey of acceptance and compassion. One that we embark upon with open eyes, heart, and mind. As the light slowly returns and we look toward spring with hope and anticipation, it will be important to allow old and outdated aspects of ourselves to die away. In 2025 we were like the snake shedding its skin, peeling back the layers of programming that kept us from being who we really are and doing what our heart longs to do. But in order to move forward in 2026 and embrace the tenacity of the year of the Horse, we’re going to have to accept ALL of who we are: the good, the bad, the ugly. We’re going to have to make space for the full spectrum of our humanity. Any aspects that we try to keep hidden, from ourselves or others, will eventually push their way to the surface and wreak havoc on our lives until they are loved and brought into the wholeness of our beings. So look for signs from the universe to help you on this journey and listen to the deepest, quietest places within your being.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

January might not move at the pace you would like it to, dear Aries. It might feel like every step forward only leads to two steps back. Don’t be disheartened, though. Take this as a sign to slow things down. This month will be a great time for sharing your thoughts, ideas, and dreams and developing new relationships, both personally and professionally. Let yourself dream, and when you do find opportunities to take action, make sure that action is coming from integrity, compassion, and what you know is right for yourself and your community as a whole. These small steps forward will mean more and have more of an impact on your life in the long run than any grandiose achievement at this point. And remember this: you are doing nothing wrong. You are simply in a state of inner learning and what might feel like stagnation is actually the universe breathing a gentle pause into your reality.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

You are the truth seeker this month, my friend. You are paying attention to the details, you are not letting anyone slip anything by you. You are determined to get to the heart of the matter, whatever that is, so that you can shed light in all the dark places. This might mean that you feel a little intense to others at times, but don’t let that stop you. Keep asking your questions, keep pulling back the layers, and keep trusting that your gut is right. Sometimes this truth seeking might look more like activating all of your senses and allowing yourself to see and hear everything you can. Doing so will keep you from jumping to conclusions and becoming part of the problem, rather than part of the solution.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

The universe is trying to tell you to slow down and go inward. You are beyond tired, and yet you keep pushing forward. While this tactic may have worked for you in the past, this time it will likely only lead to burnout and everything you’ve worked so hard to create crumbling down around you. To reinfuse your life with harmony and ease, take some time to reflect upon how you want to move in the world. What do you want your legacy to be? How do you want to impact those who cross your path? Are you willing to flow with the current of Self, or are you determined to push against it? It is not a sign of weakness to surrender to your innermost being, what your heart longs for, and what you feel called to do. Rather it takes great strength to let go and simply BE. So stop living by the “no pain, no gain” mantra, and let your body rest.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

January asks you to soar above the mundane everyday of your life and see the bigger picture. Though you may feel a little like an outsider, or like no on understands you, nothing could be further from the truth. There are partnerships at play, collaborations coming to fruition, and an interdependence that will help you further your goals, if you only take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. When self-doubt creeps in, or negative thoughts try to take over, do your best to breathe and focus on all the good that is happening in your life and who has helped you get to where you are now. You have an opportunity to take your life to the next level, to do things you didn’t think were possible even six months ago, so don’t let your small-self sabotage all that you have worked for. Think big, be bold, and allow yourself to say yes to those who offer help.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

See yourself as the gentle parent or teacher over the next month. Everything you do is about the health of the group, the whole. Sometimes this means letting things play themselves out or letting people learn the lessons they need to learn without you cleaning up their mess or saving them. Sometimes it means using strategy to further your plans or seeming apathetic when people clamour for your approval. Your role in the group is one of gentle guide orchestrating from behind the scenes. Now is not the time to take centre stage, that will come later. People might not understand what you are doing or why you are doing it, but they will, and when they do, they will be forever grateful for your energy, love, and time.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Take a good look in the mirror, my friend. What is your truth? What do you really want from this life? Whatever it is, it’s worth fighting for. You’ll have to be patient, and you’ll have to let some areas of your life crumble and fall away, but I promise you you’ll be glad in the end. What you are building now is still in its infancy and obtaining it requires you to take the wheel. Realigning with your core values and getting more familiar with your deepest dreams will help you stay inspired and keep you from feeling defeated when it seems like everything is falling apart. Take some time to nurture yourself and nurture your body, heart, and mind. You deserve to pause and take a breath. You deserve to be present for yourself and to act with intention.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

January sees you learning how to assert yourself, how to stand tall in your own personhood. There is a maturity growing within you that allows you to care less about what others think of you and more about who you know yourself to be. You are in the midst of creating something, but it’s behind the scenes and you’ve kind of kept it to yourself. The universe is inviting you to be more vocal, to share what you are working on and why it matters to you. This might create a bit of a rocky road in terms of your relationships, but you’re actually okay with that. You’re okay with finding out who shares your values and who doesn’t, and you look forward to cultivating relationships that are co-creative and long lasting. Keep moving forward, keep sharing, keep being authentically you.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

January is all about the third eye, my friend. You are in a state of knowing and intuition. You see signs, synchronicities, and to the truth of things. You want to get to the heart of the matter, to hash things out until everything is exposed so you can start again from the ground up. This knowing is deep within you and it stems from a desire to get back to your understanding of universal truth, to the laws of the universe which are greater than the laws of humanity. Use this time to strip your own layers of conditioning so that you can deepen your understanding of your own being/Self. Keep your eyes open and your inner radar turned on. Utilise this time to go within and plant seeds so that when spring rolls around you are ready for growth and expansion.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Your life, right now, feels like a tornado with all kinds of chaos going on externally, while internally you are experiencing a kind of rebirth. You know you want something different, that it’s time for change and to allow who you truly are to shine with more authenticity. This is going to take a little self-reflection. Pay attention to the details and learn from past experiences. What actions and decisions have contributed to your current state of stress and overwhelm? What needs to heal in order for you to move on and reach for your goals with more strength and integrity? This isn’t about blame or shame, it’s about recognition and finding the determination required to love yourself to the fullest. Find someone safe to share with and observe yourself and your actions with ruthless compassion when you are triggered.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

January is going to be about finding new ways to move forward. In some cases it might feel like you have to reinvent the wheel because nothing you are currently doing is working. You keep hitting the same wall over and over and over. To find a new path forward, you need to get out of your head and into your body. Stay away from petty or surface behaviour or opinions from others and remember that what we give, we receive. The universe response to energy, so if you can resonate compassion, kindness and love, you will find that you receive the same. It would also do you some good to stay away from the news for a while. Spend time out in nature or find other ways to ground your energy and cultivate true connection with your community. We are all human, and we are all doing our best to find our way in this crazy world.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

This month an opportunity is likely to present itself. It will likely be one that you had given up on, but has now shown up in a way that was completely unexpected. Now that you’re faced with it, you’re dealing with a little bit of anxiety and possibly even fear. Are you ready? Are you good enough? The answer is yes, you are. Don’t compare yourself to others, and don’t let self-doubt sabotage this opening. Try not to take yourself too seriously, either. Let mistakes happen and allow yourself to bumble forward even if it looks messy and feels a little chaotic. Remember this quote from Rebecca Solnit: Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible. Allow yourself to stumble into your wholeness with laughter and a deep trust in the universe.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Give the dreamer in you more space to move and dance, dear Pisces. You know, the inner child who envisioned doing great things. Those dreams are now bubbling to the surface and you are also starting to see them come to fruition. Ride the wave and see where it takes you. Allow it to unfold with tenderness and wonder. To stay strong and on track you’ll have to keep two things in mind. 1. Allow yourself to have boundaries (say no when necessary, and stick to your vision), and 2. be adaptable. Things may shift, new paths may open up, new opportunities may present themselves and you’ll want to be open minded enough to follow these bread crumbs so you can benefit from the magic that wants to unfold. Remember, your dream is your gift to the world and only you can give it life. Stay rooted in your own knowing and move with the flow of the universe.

Astrological Guidance and Intuitive Insights for December 2025

Astrological insights from Navigating the Stars

All Signs

If you want to be able to trust your intuition, you have to listen to your body. Your body knows what is best for you, is in sync with your energetic self, and does its best to steer you in the right direction. It’s the mind that’s the problem; the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, about others, and about reality. December calls for inner reflection, taking the time to take an honest look at what motivates us, what scares us, and what sets us off balance. Doing so will invite loyalty from others and create space to dream of the future in a whole new way. What do we want to create that benefits everyone around us? What do we want our communities, and society as a whole, to look like? The answers to these questions lie in the deep recess of our hearts, in the deepest place of the “I Am” within our beings.  

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Remain courageous this month, Aries. Stay focused on your passion for growth. You are aware that if you put in the emotional and spiritual work you will more than reap the benefits, it’s sitting in discomfort that terrifies you. You don’t like the fact that the secrets you were guarding so closely can no longer be kept, but you know that they need to come out into the open in order  to realize the change you seek. December is going to throw a lot of obstacles at you, like the universe is seeing how much you can stick to the task at hand and not give up. I remind you that each and every one of those obstacles is self made, though. You create your reality, and the more you refine your intentions, tune into your desires and needs, set boundaries when needed, and be honest with yourself and your loved ones, the less those obstacles will show up. In their place you will find wonderful pockets of magic.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Where your focus goes, energy flows. The universe and your Source are sending you a ton of strength and support throughout December. You have a chance to seize opportunities, take leaps of faith, and do those things that have been sitting on the back burner. Just make sure you are so busy shining your light and finding adventure in each day that you have no time to focus on disappointment. Some part of you is tempted to wallow in self-pity, to only notice where others have let you down, or when life didn’t work out the way you wanted it to. So, every time you notice you’re falling into that trap, shift your attention to the future. Move forward with steady determination and allow yourself to continue having fun and enjoying the process.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

You know that thing you’ve been chasing? Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but it’s an illusion. It’s actually a projection of what you “think” you want. If you take a moment to really reflect, you’ll eventually come to understand that what you truly desire is something deeper, more meaningful, and not fraught with danger. If you’re honest with yourself, your current path doesn’t feel right in your gut, does it? You have a sneaking suspicion that someone is deceiving you, or that things are going to go sideways. I encourage you to listen to yourself and change tracks. If you don’t, your higher Self is going to have to trick you into figuring it out by leading you down dead-end paths or throwing to-good-to-be-true opportunities in your lap, etc. Learn to listen to your body. If your gut is telling you that something is off, it is. Take a step back, look at the facts, observe, and reassess. Learn to distinguish between what your ego wants, and what your heart knows is right.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You are rebirthing, renewing, and reinventing yourself this month This process is both freeing and terrifying because it shines a light on reality and makes you see the world from a more practical and grounded perspective. This month will bring waves of epiphanies and new understandings about others, about how the world works, and about your own beliefs, patterns, and behaviours. This is good, but also exhausting so learn to recognize when you need to take a step back, claim personal space, and disengage. Let the world move on without you for a while and enjoy the New You that is emerging and finding her feet. Remember that you are capable of navigating any change, hiccough, or sudden revelation. Find your way forward by taking a step back and waiting for things to shift.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You feel driven to pour as much energy as you can into the holiday season, letting those you care about know just how much you love them. This is awesome. Let your heart reside in the joy of it and stay focussed on bliss. Just don’t get sucked into the story that you must do ALL the things. Doing so will only lead to stress, anxiety, and overload. Only take on what you can handle and remember to nurture yourself in the process. Try to release your expectations and allow things to unfold naturally. Keeping a sense of wonder and spontaneity will help you keep your sanity. The most magical moments are those that are not planned and that happen when we least expect them.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Don’t be afraid to take the bull by the horns and step into the leadership role that is presenting itself. December is going to ask you to draw upon your inner strength so you can find success, but also so you can navigate issues (internal or external) that you thought were dead and buried. When they arise, trust your instincts and let your past experiences guide you. Protect yourself and your dream by taking pre-emptive action, whether that means calling someone out, changing focus, or stepping away from any given situation. Stand your ground with an open heart and receptive mind and you will win others over and find a path forward that is good for everyone involved.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

December would be a great month to do a cleanse. I know that sounds absurd with Christmas dinners on the horizon, but your whole being is calling out to be flushed. If you’ve been working on a project or trying to achieve a specific goal, but you keep having to deal with roadblocks or stagnant energy, this is why. There’s too much baggage, both in your body and in your mind. Your Source is asking you to slow down and focus inwards. Whether that means decluttering your house, downloading to a therapist, or only eating whole foods, there needs to be a purge of what no longer serves you. As you let go and release, notice how things start to move again, how what you’ve been asking for suddenly shows up at your door or becomes a possibility. You are actively creating space for what brings you fulfillment.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You are putting the pieces back together. But this time, those pieces are new and unfamiliar. They are made up of stardust and endless possibility. You get to choose what goes where and why. You get to show the world who you really are and build your tapestry with pride and devotion to yourself and your craft, whatever that may be. Don’t flinch and don’t shy away. Be bold, be strong, and trust that you will attract the right people and circumstances your way. Those who don’t understand what you are doing can be left by the wayside. They don’t deserve your attention or your energy; you’ve got better things to focus on. Invite success by being the central spider of your own web. Speak your intentions, allow yourself to be assertive, and let your open heart and charismatic personality attract exactly what you need.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You are ready to commit to something or someone. You’ve examined the evidence, scrutinized the details, gone over everything with a fine-toothed comb, and you eventually came to see that this person or situation is the right one. In fact, on a deeper level, you feel guided by spirit. There is a lack of distortion, corruption, ego, and ulterior motive that makes you feel a sense of home and safety. Don’t let this make you complacent, though. Stay alert and aware, be fully present for yourself and for the other party. If you want this relationship to truly stand the test of time, you need to ensure clear communication and honour what each parties needs, wants, and desires.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You are not an island. You cannot do it all on your own, nobody can. So though you may be in a leadership role and be required to take on responsibilities that others may not have to bear, remember to ask for help, to delegate, and listen. Your position affords you the opportunity for growth and change, but it also means that your decisions and choices impact those around you. Try not to make choices based on fear, negativity, or knee jerk reactions. Allow everyone to have their say and find a course of action that considers the needs and desires of all involved. This will reduce your own fear in the process, allowing you to feel more confident, connected, and secure.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You need a moment to gain perspective. There’s a lot going on in your life right now. You are experiencing success and recognition from every angle. However, you sense that something is off. Like you’ve strayed off course a little and need to adjust your heading. Use this month as an opportunity to step away for a moment to reflect and re-evaluate. Get in touch with your personal higher power, seek out conversations that are stimulating and get your mind working in new directions, and spend time contemplating life and what really matters to you. Open your perception to the trail of breadcrumbs the universe has sprinkled for you. Come January you’ll feel much better about diving back in to the hustle and bustle.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

The path forward is the middle one. I know, you want it to be all or nothing, but that won’t serve your purpose at this time. Let the rebel in you shine, but let it also be tempered by logic. Let your more “outrageous” ideas be balanced by what people can handle in the moment. Let the knowing and soul gifts you feel pushing up from the centre of your being be doled out like small medicinal bundles, like seeds you are planting in the fertile ground of the comfort zone of others. Through all of this, open yourself to abundance. Allow yourself to get increasingly comfortable with the idea that you deserve prosperity, and that you can call it in. No matter what you are doing, you are holding space for others to see their own potential. Let that gifting bear its natural return.

Astrology Insights: Navigating November Energies

Meditation and yoga studio. Monthly horoscopes from Navigating the Stars.

All Signs

This month brings an energy of doing and accomplishing. We know where we want to go and we are ready to do the work that needs to be done. It will be important to reach for our highest aspirations, looking toward not only what benefits us, but also those in our inner circles and out into our communities. Seek out allies. Find groups of likeminded individuals. Share your ideas, talents, and goals. But be careful not to act in haste or without thinking things through. Details matter. Doing the right thing matters. Acting with integrity in each situation will ensure that the universe is able to answer your intentions with clarity. Shortcuts and brash behavior that do not come from a place of love and compassion will only backfire and cause disappointment. So reach for the stars, my friend, but don’t leave the less fortunate behind.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You may be stepping into new territory this month, dear Aries. It might feel like your experience and expertise are of no help, but don’t give up hope, and don’t give up on yourself. Trust the process and pay attention to the details. Allow yourself to take the time required to absorb and learn all you can from the current situation. Instead of bogging yourself down with guilt for your inexperience, think of this state of affairs as an adventure. Keep putting one foot in front of the other even though you may not have any idea where you are going or how you are going to get there. Don’t worry, you’ll eventually find stable ground and get your bearings. You’ve got this.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Does it feel like you’re banging your head against a wall? Like every step you take forward only leads you to another obstacle? I know, it sucks, but don’t lose heart. This is all part of a process that is helping you to let go of people, ideas, and situations that try to stifle your creativity, tell you that you’re too much, or put you back in a box. Have patience with yourself and the process. Go inward and feel into how you can nurture your goals and dreams with more love and compassion while reflecting on what your true intentions are. It will help you greatly to act with grace and poise. To pause and stay calm in situations that may be triggering, and to stand your ground with quiet integrity. Allow yourself to grow past your current reality and attract new and more aligned allies.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Magic is knocking at your door, my friend. The universe is bringing you lessons from your deepest Self. Try not to fight against the tide. Stay present and open. By adapting to current situations and realities and inviting in those who can support and help your cause, you are able to achieve your highest aspirations. The trick here is to keep and open mind and not stay stuck in established ways of thinking and doing that keep you trapped in old patterns and behaviors. You’ve got to be willing to face the unknown, cooperate with your fellow human beings, and do the hard work. There is so much potential here, so don’t waste it by allowing fear to dictate your reality.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Your prayers are being answered, my watery friend. Abundance is finding its way to you through acts of joy and gratitude. You can relax into this energy and give yourself time to soften and recharge. Much of this year has been about pushing forward, establishing a foundation, and freeing yourself from limited thinking, and that hard work is starting to pay off. Let yourself dance your intentions and prayers into being. Share your laughter and love with those who light you up and have been there to support you. Allow your creative Self space to move and flow in ways that are not dictated by survival or fear. Take time for your morning tea and the sunrise where the mind hasn’t fully kicked into thinking and doing mode and you can pause, reflect, and just be present in the moment. Knowing and a sense of ease want to bubble up and bless your heartspace.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Ok, you’ve been waiting for the right time to take action, and November gives you the green light. You feel an increase in energy and determination, as well as support from those who have the tools and knowhow to help you move forward. There are just two things you’ll need to be aware of as the month progresses. 1. Do your best not to get lost in wishful thinking. It might be tempting to let delusions of grandeur lead you astray, so stay practical and realistic. 2. Protect your heart, mind, and personal space. Though genuine moments of sharing are on the menu, be careful not to reveal too much especially with those that you do not fully trust. Walk forward knowing the universe is doing its best to help you achieve your goals, but tread lightly and with complete awareness of the entirety of your situation.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You stand at the threshold of a new era this month. The universe and your innermost self are challenging you to think beyond your current situation and circumstances; to see your potential and reach for your highest goals. This will mean letting go of the way you think things should be done, or what society has taught you to believe is possible for yourself. It might be helpful to work on acting from a place of equanimity instead of emotion. See your future as a business plan instead of a longing or desire. Be strategic in action, and lofty in aspiration. Remember that your beliefs are learned and can be changed with permission. Be tenacious, be bold, and give yourself a kick in the butt to take the first step across that threshold into a new and better life.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

November is asking you to see your life from a different perspective. It’s time to have gratitude, notice who supports you and lifts you up, and cultivate harmony in your relationships. Through paying attention to these things, you can embrace the transformation that is trying to take place. So, if you’ve been feeling down in the dumps, physically or emotionally stuck, or like you can’t see a path forward, you might want to make a list of all you have to be grateful for. Ask yourself where you are in your journey: Do you see yourself as a seed, as a full-grown tree, or somewhere in between? How are you being nourished by those around you? What can you do to create a life that feels harmonious and meaningful? Train your mind to see the blessings so fear and hesitation can be replaced with joy and action.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You are starting to realize that you are not actually limited by your current circumstance and that you can make the changes you want in your life. This is no small thing. New visions are bubbling up, new ambitions are forming in heart and mind, and you are freeing yourself from personal and societal limitations. November invites you to get specific with your intentions, prayers, and desires. Perhaps create a list or vision board of what you want to invite in and accomplish and set that list in a sacred circle or burn it in your backyard. You are done going through the fire, now is your time to rise, so you don’t want to invite in anything that is not in alignment. And if all of this still feels a little overwhelming, simply work to create space in your heart for the possibility that you can manifest your dreams.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Ok, my friend. It’s time to pause, take a breath, and collect your thoughts. Things are probably feeling like they are falling apart and that even your best intentions are thwarted. This is due to the fact that you’re having a kind of identity crisis. You’re trying to push through without knowing where you are going or who you really are at your core. If you can, spend time in meditation, bringing your awareness out of your mind and into your body so that you can remember who you are on a spiritual level, or so that you can come back to your own inner knowing. By doing so, you’ll start to see that everything has been falling apart for a reason and it’s all part of the grand design of your soul. Abundance is on its way, just not in the form you previously anticipated. To help, I offer you this mantra: how am I not myself. Repeat whenever you feel frustrated and listen closely to your heart for the answers.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

The universe has prepared a healing infusion for you this month, dear Capricorn. One that is designed to help lift you up, get you back on track with your goals and ambitions, and help you feel refreshed and renewed. To access this infusion, start by looking at the foundations of your life. Create stability, recognize that you are not alone and that it takes a community to build anything worthwhile, and stay open to all of the possibilities/opportunities that come your way. Examine what needs to go, and what needs to stay and be built upon. Don’t waste your time on ventures that have fizzled out, are no longer working, or drain your energy. Go where joy and a sense of community call you to be.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Things have not yet settled. Even though you may feel like you’ve reached your goal and you can sit back and relax, you still need to stay keenly alert and keep pushing forward. Act with integrity in all your interactions, making sure to be clear with yourself and others when it comes to your intentions and what is possible and what is not. The road is going to be a little bumpy for a while yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth travelling. This turbulence is the universe asking you to change your perspective, to become more awake and aware about the path you’re on, the goals you are working to achieve, and who you want to align yourself with. Allow yourself to adapt wherever necessary and stay focused on the big picture.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Lessons in equanimity continue, dear Pisces. This month is about seeing your life from a bird’s eye view and not letting yourself get bogged down by the little things that might be out of your control. When things fall apart or don’t go as you planned, take responsibility and work to repair the situation one step at a time. None of what is happening is a reflection on your character. Rather, each is a small lesson in staying on the surface of your inner ocean of emotion so that you can continue to move forward without the risk of being sucked under.  Just let life be about staying in the moment and doing what you can with the tools you have at your disposal while keeping innermost dreams and long-term goals foremost in your mind.

Astrological Insights for October – Slow down and take stock

All Signs

This fall brings an energy of closure that will, in turn, allow us to set our sights on new endeavors. Individually and collectively, we are learning to pace ourselves and to remember that we can get more done as a group than we can as individuals. This energy brings with it a resurgence of a deep desire for the real and authentic, both for ourselves and in our interactions with others, as we long to be seen and heard, and to co-create with individuals who don’t require us to wear a mask or be anything other than what we are. Our innermost Selves want us to remember our potential, and to live our lives with intention and love. So, if things, relationships, or circumstances are coming to an end, don’t fight it. Keep your sights set on your big picture and establish a sustainable pace forward.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // 
SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS// CAPRCORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

This month give yourself the gift of looking at the world through a lens of innocence and play. Through the act of letting go of assumptions and keeping your ego in check, you have an opportunity to create synthesis between heart and mind, and see progress in your dreams and goals. You are on your own unique path. When you compare yourself to others, or live in a state of worry or fear, you hold yourself back from manifesting what you really want. Try to find the joy in life. Seek out the silly, the outrageous, the spontaneous and the fun. Learn to take a compliment as well as credit for your accomplishments. Allow yourself to shine and trust that you are in flow with the universe.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Pick your battles this month, Taurus. Trust your intuition and follow your gut, but do so with mindful intention. Whatever you find yourself protecting, and possibly even standing up for, needs you to act with grace and integrity. You won’t be able to do this all on your own, so gather your resources and ask for help when you need it. And most importantly, don’t lose sight of the positive. Pay attention to joy and laughter, spontaneity and fun. Let the good in life be your guiding light as you navigate what may be tough situations. Be the protector of purity and innocence.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

October is your chance to mend fences and perhaps clear out some trash. Issues you thought long buried are bubbling to the surface and you’ll have to stay grounded in your sense of self worth in order to avoid falling back into self-destructive behaviours. If losing certain individuals means being able to let go of disappointment, then it will be well worth it. Celebrate what you have accomplished, share your ideas, and allow yourself to be excited about things even if others turn up their nose and pass judgement. Stay loyal to yourself and what you know to be true for your life and your journey.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Through practicing your gifts, you are creating community. A burst of energy throughout October will have you dancing between projects, generating ideas, and showing up in spaces you previously didn’t think were accessible. In and amongst the chaos your lesson will be how to juggle all the balls you suddenly have in the air and not burn yourself out. Learn to prioritize and only do what is absolutely necessary. Ask for help when you need it and get comfortable with postponing tasks when life throws you a curve ball. This also means learning to drop some of your perfectionism. It’s okay to be spontaneous and a little haphazard once in a while, especially when it comes to your creative endeavours. When you share what you really want to create, you access more of your own personal power, thus refueling your passion and drive.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

There’s a shift taking place. You’ve felt it coming for a while now, maybe you’ve even prepared for it. Even so, you don’t really know where you are going. It’s like you’re reinventing yourself, discovering new (or perhaps, old) aspects of your personality, your beliefs, and your relationships. Nothing is hidden this month. You have the capacity see all your habits for what they are and how they either contribute to, or hinder, the life you want to lead. It’ll do your heart good to share with others what you’re going through and how you’re navigating turbulent inner waters. Doing so will help you feel less isolated, but it’ll also give you permission to share who you’re becoming.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Use your creative and analytical mind to come up with all the ways you can nurture yourself, your dreams, and those you care about. Then come up with an effective strategy for making it happen. Trust your instincts when things get complicated or when life throws you a curveball. Use your powers of manifestation to attract both what you need and what you desire but remember that supporting and uplifting others will bring you far greater return than can be accomplished by exclusively serving your own needs. And remember to take care of yourself – body, heart, and mind. Nurturing yourself gives you the capacity to show up with greater energy and enthusiasm.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Your higher self is tapping you on the shoulder this month, Libra. It’s knocking on the inner door of your awareness. It’s signalling you to scrutinize and become conscious of all the different aspects of your personality and your ego. You find yourself in a difficult power struggle and the only way through it is to learn to adapt and cooperate while staying open and receptive to the lessons that are being hand delivered by the universe. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, whatever is happening is for your highest good. The trick is to become conscious of why.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You are undergoing yet another transformation, my friend. Think of the life stages of a butterfly, from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to the day a butterfly emerges from the cocoon. Ask yourself where you are in that life cycle. Things might feel difficult right now, but that’s just because you haven’t emerged from the chrysalis yet. You aren’t able to see what the future looks like, so you’ll have to trust the process and the fact that nothing is permanent. Everything grows and takes shape in its own time, but that doesn’t mean that you should give up on yourself or the idea you are birthing into the world. Stay equanimous to criticism and in the face of your own self-doubt. All that matters is that you stay on this path of transformation and allow yourself to blossom in your own time.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

October calls for you to be a bit more frugal, my dear. It’s time to ground back into your home, return to your routines, and live an ordinary life for a while. I know, adventure is fun and all but logic dictates that you are a bit more practical for the time being. This also goes for how you spend your energy. Don’t waste your precious time on those who don’t give back, don’t support you, or simply drain you. By weeding out the users and being more frugal with how you expend your social battery, you build self-esteem and your belief in your ability to navigate toward your goals.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Things are moving and shaking in your world, dear Cap. Opportunities are presenting themselves and connections are being made. A new plan may be forming as broader horizons come into view. You’re loving the thrill and the challenge of it all, but you’re also noticing that your body and mind are suffering from exhaustion. Take some time to learn from the past as well as from those who have more experience. Ambition is a great thing to have, but not when it costs us on an emotional or spiritual level. Taking care of your family, as well as your own personal needs, is just as, if not more, important.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Refuse to let the bad outweigh the good. The universe is sending you messages, telling you to think outside the box, to go against the grain, and to stay determined. The setbacks that present themselves won’t last forever, and they are more a sign that you are on the right track than anything else. When people show resistance to change, it’s usually because they are scared and they can’t see the big picture. As humans, we are often operate from survival mode, but those who can lift their gaze above the fog are able to maintain the stamina needed to realize long-term goals. Seek the middle ground and a balanced relationship with your inner self and the outside world.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

October brings a time of gentle, healing energy your way. The fog is lifting, and you now have the capacity to see past and future with more clarity. This gentle energy also brings a sense of play, a lightheartedness that you haven’t felt for a long time, allowing you to drop some of the seriousness and relax into moments of laughter and spontaneity – a cooling balm to your mind and your heart. Healing doesn’t always mean processing, sometimes it’s just a quiet shift. Be content with small accomplishments right now. Trust where you are and that you’ll inevitably get where you’re going.

September Astrology: Embrace Change with New Intentions

All Signs

Shine a light into all the dark places, my friends. September is about bringing awareness to that which is hidden, all the things we don’t allow ourselves to see. This applies both inwardly and outwardly, it is both self-reflection and outward observation. This kind of work means that, for some of us, it will feel like our lives are a bit out of our control. External influences are trying to sway us in this direction or that; everybody has an opinion and there is no ease in growth and expansion. It’ll be important to stay true to our inner knowing and our goals. To keep going and adapt to circumstances as best as we can. One powerful tool we have at our disposal is the mind. If we can convince the mind to let go of past disappointment and instead turn its attention to creating something new our general sense of angst and anxiety will lift and we will have more energy to bust through patterns that cause us to personally, and collectively, hold ourselves back.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRCORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

It’s time to get very mindful about how you conduct yourself in your daily life. What energy do you bring to the table, where do your loyalties lie, and where and how do you want to create growth? Take some time to take stock of your talents, your strengths, and your weaknesses, and identify where you want to grow and change. As the saying goes: There is no time like the present. Start creating the reality you want by 1. Taking baby steps that feel manageable, 2. Recognizing and valuing what you have to contribute, and 3. Identifying who, and what, deserves your attention and loyalty. Try to stay focussed and move with deliberate intention and a fierce belief in yourself. Make the changes you need to make, not from reaction, but intention. You’ve got this.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

If you’re wondering what the heck is going on right now, think of yourself as a snake shedding its skin. Like the snake, you are experiencing a shedding, a letting go, a falling away. You’re noticing how much you’ve changed and that you don’t really fit into the same spaces or social groups that you used to. You feel out of place, and a little isolated. To help yourself through this process, I suggest trying to live and act from an open heart. You can’t see the outcome quite yet, so why even try? Stay spontaneous, stay in the moment, act with sincerity and curiosity. When you notice your defences go up, or if fear creeps into your thinking, try to trust the process and identify something beautiful or playful in that circumstance or moment. This won’t last forever and what awaits you on the other side is the deeper, more heartfelt connection that you’ve been longing for.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

September would be a great month for you to do your version of a vision board. You are like a powerful radio station, broadcasting your energy signature on all frequencies. This means that now is the time to dream, create, cultivate connections, and dance your vision into reality. What you manifest now will have a lasting impact in your life and any connections you make will prove the test of time. Make sure to keep your heart open and your curiosity turned on high. Stay as receptive as you are projective. Learn all you can about the resources that are available to you, the people that are worth reaching out to, and become absorbed in your craft, perfecting it with love and attention. This month is going to be a busy one, but it will be worth it.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Yup, there are a few hiccoughs in your plan, but that’s ok. Trust your intuition and step into your own knowing by allowing yourself to see any delusions you’ve been hiding behind. It’s not that your dream isn’t worthy, it’s not that you should give up and try something different, it’s just that you need to become practical about the path forward, i.e. what can you accomplish, vs what you want to achieve, and in what timeframe you can actually make it all come together. But don’t rely only on your thinking mind to determine the answers to these questions. Your gut knows far better than your logic. What do you feel is right? What direction do you feel to move in? If you were to let go of all expectations of yourself, let go of the perfectionism and the shame, what would compel you? What would feel right in this moment?

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

This month finds you in a bit of a power struggle somewhere in your life. Unfortunately, there is also a mutual dependence in this relationship which means that you’re finding it very hard to move forward. Reach out to others who can support you during this time and do what you must in order to keep things rolling. If this means playing nice, or refusing to engage, then do it. Stay true to your vision as best you can. Only by staying focused on the purity of the original intention will you not only stay sane, but also find the right path to clarity and freedom. Just remember that there are others out there who you could align with and who could help you find a solution to your current situation. You are not alone.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Sudden adventure is on the horizon, my friend. This is due to the fact that you have decided (finally) to step into a leadership role and recognize the skills you bring to the table. This internal breakthrough has created space for new and exciting possibilities. You’ve been asking for things to shift, so don’t be surprised when they do so faster than you expected. Being on an adventure means that you must be able to adapt to new circumstances, stay curious in order to solve problems, and live in the moment without a hidden agenda or expectations about the outcome. Trust your instincts, harness the talents of others and allow them to shine, and delegate tasks that no longer deserve your attention. You are allowed to focus on the big picture now. You are allowed to embrace your long-term goals.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

This month is all about community. If you feel like you don’t have community, seek it out. If you have a good circle around you, look at where you fit within that circle. How do you contribute to the whole, and what do you bring to the table that can benefit others? Do your best to move with grace; trust your intuition and your ability to see what lies ahead. Utilize these powers to help you move forward with your goals and ambitions, relying on the talented folks within your community to help you manifest and bring to fruition those aspirations that have sat dormant within you. You cannot do this alone, you need the resources, creativity, and shared intent that others provide.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

September brings with it a renewed sense of action, dearest Scorpio. It’s time to come to terms with the fact that the only one holding you back, is you. You have all the resources you need to move forward, you just need to change your perspective. Take some time to rewrite the doom scenarios in your head. This might best be done by sharing your dreams and ambitions with those who care about you and getting their opinions. You’ll note that they don’t see the same restrictions and barriers between you and your goals that you have come to believe exist, and they may even have some very practical suggestions about how you could proceed. The most important thing is to act, to do what you know to do in each moment, and trust that the negative story you have on repeat is merely your ego’s fear of the unknown.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Have patience with your own unfolding. If you feel stuck, take a look in the proverbial mirror. Learn to recognize where you act from your truth and in what circumstances you put on a mask for yourself and others. I know it’s hard, but you would benefit from slowing things down and allowing yourself to cocoon. Take care of your body and mind so that you can come to a place of equilibrium, where you are able to respond to the world from intention instead of reaction. Notice how you feel, give yourself space to accept those feelings without judgement, but try not to get sucked into feelings of spite, anger, resentment, or even despair. What you are working toward will eventually manifest, it’s just going to take a little more time than you expected. Try to be at peace with where you are now.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Utilize your powers of observation, Capricorn. Adjust the lens between micro and macro vision, allowing yourself to see both the big picture and the smallest of details. Learn what you can, notice what needs to change, what needs to be eliminated, and where growth can occur. In each observation, align with the highest good of all involved, removing your ego from the equation and doing your best to steer clear of any outside distortion, such as the ulterior motives of others. Once you have done this, don’t keep what you have learned to yourself. Instead, share it with those who have the power to help you affect change. In this way you help cultivate community and common purpose and allow yourself to step fully into the leadership role you find yourself in.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Seek out harmony between all parties. If you want your current situation or project to stay strong and not fizzle out, you’ll need to recognize that you are not alone. Your position within the group means that you carry a certain amount of responsibility on your shoulders. Others rely on you to stay on track, to keep to the overall vision, and to act with their best interests at heart when you make decisions. Cultivating harmony means that everyone feels seen and heard, that they feel safe and like they have a purpose, so seek out the quiet ones in the back and let them share their thoughts and ideas. Bring them completely on board by showing them that they matter. In this way you’ll be able to move forward at a steady, grounded pace and ensure that whatever you are creating lasts well into the future.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

It’s okay to feel tired. It’s okay to acknowledge that you are exhausted and that you need to retreat and rest. Try not to get sucked into a negative mindset as you deal with the reality that the good you’ve been working to create seems suddenly put on hold or suppressed by outside voices/influences. You merely need to recharge, and the universe is giving you the opportunity to do so. Take some time in nature and cultivate a meditation practice. Learn, once again, to listen to your intuition instead of the running dialogue of your mind. You have not, in fact, done anything wrong. Spirit is calling you to listen inwardly so you can find energy and inspiration to move forward in new and more aligned ways.

Astrological Insights for August 2025 – Courage, Strength, Tenacity

All Signs

In yoga, there is the teaching of Tapas – Burning passion and desire. It is one of the five Niyamas within the eight limbs of yoga and it invites us to gather our strength, courage, and tenacity so we can lean into the difficult. This month marks a time of intense shadow work (Pluto retrograde) that asks us to take a closer look at how we view community, and in that find our purpose. It will be important not to buy into fear tactics. We’ll need to remember to ground and heal the parts of ourselves that operate from an assumption that we are all alone, disconnected from the whole. Creating genuine connections and space for vulnerability in a time of divisiveness allows for transformation leading to change. We might feel like we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but every act of courageous compassion leaves an indelible mark on the inner planes of humanity.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

August brings about a less restless energy for you, Aries. You will benefit from renewed clarity and stability. It’s like the pieces of a puzzle are finally falling into place and you feel like you know where you fit. Whether in your career or your love life, do what makes sense and try to stay above knee jerk reactions or feelings about the situation. Make the most of where you are now, doing what you know how to do. This will bring a sense of comfort and ease and help to calm anxiety and stress. Your body has been in fight or flight for a while, not quite sure what direction to go in and living in uncertainty about the future. This month invites you to allow your body to come back to homeostasis and your mind to calm.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

August invites you to let go of grudges, mistakes, and past grievances to find a new and more joyful path forward. Bring your awareness back to the positives within your relationships and open yourself up to new possibilities through collaborative efforts. See this month as a purge of stagnant and outdated feelings, responsibilities, and perceptions. What do these things matter in the long run? They don’t contribute to your growth, or your joy, so let them fall away like so much dead skin.  In the big picture, you see how everyone you care about can contribute their unique talents toward a common goal. Reach out, reconnect, and re-establish. In other words, network your way into new and old social networks.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Give yourself the gift of silence, my dear Gemini. You truly are of two minds this month. An inner conflict brews because you are having trouble letting go of the last vestiges of certain aspects of your ego. In other words, part of you is very afraid of change and it feels like your world is falling apart and you have no control. I invite you to let it crumble, to take a close look at the reason for your fear and become friends with it. Allow it to teach you so you can find your courage to step into the new. Taking a break from social media, from outings and social gatherings, and finding time in nature and solitude will help you still your mind and come into your body; your inner knowing.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

It’s time to vision a new path forward. This doesn’t mean that you have to ditch your goal and start over completely new. What it does mean is that you need to find a new path toward that goal. You are once again ready for action, so get clear about what’s important and take small, methodical steps forward. Give yourself space and time to weave a healthy dose of practicality into your dream. If you take on too much right now, you’ll just find yourself overwhelmed and lacking in support from others. By allowing yourself to be excited by the future while grounded in the present, you stay aligned with your integrity.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Do the thing, make the change, take that leap of faith. The universe has your back. If you have the courage to do what has been calling you, things will fall into place. Don’t worry so much about the future and how what you want will manifest. Instead stay focussed on the big picture: who is involved, how it affects your community at large, and your long-term goal. By assessing these things – truly trying to understand the impact of your intentions and interactions – the universe is able to open possibilities and opportunities and align with your core intent. So, shine like only you can shine. Give as only you can give. Protect those who matter. Do what your heart longs to do.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

The flood gates have opened; the dam has been broken. Things are falling into place, and magic is around every corner. You are free to act from a place of trust. There is no need to worry about not being seen or heard, your opinions are valued and your council is sought. Use the power of your voice, and your intent, to manifest what you want and bring about change. Be sure to stay in alignment with your core values and morals, as well as the dream that led you to where you are. By doing so, you attract others of integrity and feed the ability of the universe to support you along your path. It’s also okay that you might not always know what you are doing or where you are going right now. Trust your instincts and follow joy.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You could grow by leaps and bounds right now. You know that, right? It’s time to purge yourself of the sorrow that you so desperately cling to. There is so much out in the world that is waiting to be discovered! You have shackled yourself to the memories of your past, who hurt you or did you wrong, and it’s keeping you from experiencing the life you long for. What if you just changed the narrative? What if you chose to accept the support of the universe and forge a new path? Keep an ear open for possibilities. Share what you care about and the ideas that are brewing in the quiet of the night. And maybe allow yourself to truly feel the sorrow that is buried in your chest. Give it a way out by being brave enough to sit with the emotion and allow it to flow. You never know, this act could be liberating.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

August invites you to let go of what you think you are supposed to be doing and embrace what you long to do. Allow yourself to get creative with all aspects of your life and strategically work toward a goal that is in alignment with your deepest passion. How you position yourself now will determine how things unfold and manifest in the years to come. It doesn’t do you any good to stay passive, or to appear non-committal. Choose your direction with intention and don’t allow social norms or expectations dictate what it looks like. In other words, the more you allow yourself to be weird, wild, and wonderful, the more joy you will find. Refuse to hold on to limiting beliefs that trap you in situations that limit joy.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You are getting close to fulfilling a goal and there are many things to pay attention to, and many players involved. This is good, you couldn’t do what you are trying to do without the help of others. However, in order for things to go smoothly it will be important keep your focus on the fine details. You are the centre, the hub from which all this activity is taking place. It is your responsibility to orchestrate the many components so that what you are working toward manifests without glitches or unnecessary roadblocks. Take it one step at a time and don’t worry so much about achieving major goals. It’s better to make sure you have a stable foundation before erecting walls and worrying about aesthetics. I know it’s hard, but slow and steady wins the race.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Okay, close your eyes for a second and take a deep breath in, and a long breath out. Trust. It’s going to be alright. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to slow things down so you can research and learn as much as possible before making any major decisions. August invites you to grace yourself and the process with patience and nurturing. The ideas you had about where you should be right now, or what you should be doing, just need to be altered slightly. That doesn’t mean they are not going to come true, it just means that you’re having to do some learning and growing along the way. Mistakes will be made, but try to view them as lessons from your higher self. What tools can you walk away with? How can you inform future situations and experiences from what’s happening now? And remember: all roads lead home. You are not doing anything wrong.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Your focus right now is to create balance and harmony in your life. You’re tired of struggle, you’re tired of having to exert so much energy for so little in return. It’s time to stop pushing against the current and allow yourself to flow with it. Watch how you speak and the energy you carry when you walk into a room. Are you looking for conflict, or are you seeking to create harmony? Focus on the positive and bring your enthusiasm into every situation and interaction. In your personal life you will find comfort in paying attention to your health: feeding yourself well, exercising, and getting enough sleep. Doing so will bring balance between mind and body and allow you to show up for the world with more energy and vitality.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

It’s time to heal the parts of you that feel unworthy or deal with imposter syndrome. Lately you have allowed these aspects of self to devalue your worth and, as such, deflate your sense of passion and enthusiasm. You are in the midst of a transition; a bit of a growth spurt you might say. This time is scary because it’s riddled with the unknown. You are unsure if you are capable of what inevitably comes next, but holding on to this fear makes you blind to the light you carry and the inspiration you bring to others. It denies your inner strength, creativity, and genius. Keep yourself in the here and now and don’t worry about the future. Let things unfold and work actively to bring healing to the lost fragments of your ego that inevitably find ways to take control and sabotage the hard work you have already done.

July Astrology: Embrace Change and Self-Love

All Signs

This morning I woke up with Radiohead’s “Just” stuck in my head (sing it with me: “You do it to yourself, just you!”). For a couple of hours it wouldn’t leave me alone. At first I didn’t get it, and then it started to sink into my bones. If I want my life to get better, if I want to live in health, prosperity and connection, then I’m going to have to get down and dirty and pick up all the broken pieces. I am going to have to love myself fiercely enough that my own healing helps change the world. July calls us to recognize, and let go of, the little stories we have in our heads, and come back to the knowing that we are universal beings and we have the power to change/transform at any time. This month marks the beginning of summer and thus an upward yang movement of energy, one that invites us to be active, creative, and ambitious as we do the hard work of healing, both ourselves and the world.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Summer begins with the rebel doing a little dance in your heart, dear Aries. You don’t want to play by the rules right now, you’re tired of the stress and the constant load you carry on your shoulders. This is good. You deserve a rest. You deserve to take time for yourself. In fact, seek out friends and groups that feel safe and supportive. Create community and give yourself time for laughter and celebration. Your heart is longing to share both your woes and your wins. Kicking your shoes off and doing a little dancing wouldn’t hurt things either. You are allowed to rest and relax. You are allowed to set boundaries and do what is best for you. Claim back the parts of yourself that the world took away.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Onward and upward, my friend! You are a buzz with ideas, energy, and determination, but most of all you are ready for adventure. Let the roads of July be pathways that lead to play and discovery. Channel this enthusiasm and playfulness toward your current project and watch the possibilities unfurl. This month also brings a steadying hand in the form of shared vision. The more you allow yourself to share your excitement, the more you will attract like minded individuals into your sphere. The coming together of different backgrounds, experiences, and talents will allow you to achieve much more than you thought possible. So have fun this month Taurus, just remember to walk with your sights set on your bigger picture.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

July is going to bring you quite a few “Aha!” moments, Gemini. All of these moments are inviting you to let go of the disappointment you’ve been carrying around and recognize your role in the way things have played out. The best thing you can do right now is forgive yourself and laugh. Your soul is tricking you into wholeness and providing you with lessons on how NOT to do things. Like it or not, you needed these lessons, they will help you move forward with a deeper, more aligned intention. So the next time something challenges you or doesn’t go the way you wanted, try asking yourself what would best serve the greater of everyone involved and act from there. Oh, and don’t forget to laugh at yourself when you mess it up and get caught up in your ego again. It’s all good. All roads lead home. Get back up and try again.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

The most powerful thing you can do for yourself this month is to come back to your why. Why are you on this current path? What is the longing that lies underneath, right at the bottom of your heart chakra? All the petty little things that are getting in your way and have stalled your momentum are signals from the universe that the original spark that ignited this journey is dangerously close to going out. You need to feed that fire, do the things that light you up, that make you feel alive, and that bring you back to your own inner knowing and natural intuitive creativity. Follow your natural rhythms, trust your gut, and unleash your inner artist. Maybe some tears need to flow so you can wash the mud from your eyes and find clarity.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

My dear Leo, if you want the current relationship or situation to continue, you’re going to have to compromise. I know you have a vision and that vision is pretty awesome, but you can’t have it ALL your own way. July isn’t a month where you want to create conflict, instead it’s important to cultivate loyalty. By doing so you will be able to create the change you are looking for and you won’t leave any casualties in your wake. So what concessions are you willing to make? It’s okay to haggle and stick to your guns on some things, but what are you willing to let go of? And while you’re at it, take a minute to reflect on what this person or situation has gifted you with. In other words, come back to gratitude.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Give yourself grace and understanding this month, Virgo. Do your best to enjoy the little moments and take time for self-care when you can. Unfortunately you can’t do much about your current situation as it plays an important role in the manifestation of your goals, but that doesn’t mean you can’t envelope yourself in a nurturing protective shield when you have to. At the same time, don’t turn a blind eye to your own unhealthy, or even toxic, patterns and behaviours. How are you holding yourself back? How can you evolve and support yourself in adapting to new information? Paying attention to these aspects of the self will allow much of the conflict you are facing to dissipate and for balance and equilibrium to once again be found.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Try not to compare yourself to others this month. You don’t need to be going at the same pace, nor are you expected to achieve any goals before you are ready to do so. If everyone around you is chasing their dreams at a million miles per hour, maybe your response should be pity instead of envy. You are settling into a deep-in-your-bones knowing that says it’s okay to stop and smell the roses, to appreciate the little things in life, and to be present in the moment. So allow yourself to say yes to that dinner invitation, to get up late on Saturday morning with no other plans than to follow your feet, and to enjoy the company of family and friends. This pace will allow you to find moments of inspiration, and to get things done in a much more timely and gentle manner.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

There is going to be an urge to go deep within this month. You’ll be asking the big questions and pondering the nature of reality and your role within it. Who are you? Where do you want to be? What cracks your heart open and makes your eyes light up? This inward journey is important because it will inform your logical mind about what your next steps are. You’ve been in limbo, not really sure where to point the compass, because you’ve been focussed on making sure that everyone around you is taken care of and you’ve literally put yourself on the back burner. July is about taking time to simply be, to focus on the beauty of the world, and to nurture your heart and mind. But it’s also about reconnecting with your soul’s intent. This is simply New Age spiritual talk for what comes natural to you, and what makes you feel excited and energized.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You could liken your energy this month to that of a rebellious teenager, my friend. You’re breaking all the rules and defying all societal norms. In fact, you are determined to look at things from a different angle, to forge a new path, and to break away from the norm. This energy might feel a little challenging at times, as others won’t always understand and they might even withdraw their support. That’s okay. Let them go. Keep doing what you are doing and you will attract those that are meant to step into your sphere. Your ideas and your enthusiasm are needed. You are keenly aware that the world needs change, and you are more than tired of the same old story. You can’t understand why we humans keep repeating the same old mistakes. Get out there and change the world, my friend.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

“Slow down, you’re moving to fast, you gotta make the morning last”. So sang Simon and Garfunkle in their song “Feeling Groovy”. You’d do yourself a great service if you listened to this advice over the next month. Instead of lists and plans, how about chill time and laughter with friends and family? Instead of pushing yourself to work longer hours, why not carve out time to do things that fill your cup? Don’t worry, the lists and the goals will be waiting for you come August. The world isn’t going to end because you decided to take some time off. Oh, and the other major part of this picture involves celebrating all that you have already accomplished over the last 6 months. Adopt an attitude of gratitude, take a moment to appreciate all that you have built and celebrate how far you have come.  

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You don’t have to do it all. You know that, right? I know you want to help wherever you can: support every cause that crosses your radar and use your voice to help create change – and that’s amazing – but sometimes we need to let others share the load. You body and mind are feeling exhausted because you’ve piled too much on your shoulders, and one way to help alleviate this sense of burden is to use your philosophical mind. Use July to spread your inner awareness, contemplate the nature of the universe and the divine planning of things. Isn’t it interesting that chaos always weaves its way back to coherency? That all the seemingly random pieces always seem to eventually fit together and make sense? Think of your life and your path in the same way. Seemingly random pieces from your past are starting to make sense to you now, giving you evidence that everything happens for a reason. So, hand over the baton for a while and spend some time in contemplation and silence.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Every time you are faced with conflict tune back into the dream. Swim in the depths of your imagination. Get creative and take refuge in your inner worlds. There are those that might tell you this is a form of escapism, but it’s just your way of coping. You are easily swayed by other’s opinions, and this month there might be a lot of them, so it’ll be important to stay tuned into your own knowing. The way you express yourself, the ideas that flow up and out of your being, and the way you view the world are important right now. However, there are some aspects that will rub others the wrong way. They’ll either feel triggered or uncomfortable because you are venturing into unknown territory. Let them. How they feel is not your responsibility. Stay true to your dream, and trust.

June Horoscope Insights: Navigating Personal Growth

All Signs

What you do, and who you are, is bigger than yourself. No matter your career or how you live your daily life, your actions send ripples out into the world affecting change in subtle ways. This month we’ll all find ourselves, in one capacity or another, reflecting on how we contribute to the collective. We might need to completely rethinking our approach, reassess what we value, or find new ways to apply our talents and skills to the greater good. For some, this might mean a complete pivot in terms of career, for others it might just be a slight change in direction, but for all of us it will be a lesson in staying hopeful and trusting that the work we do now, both in our personal and professional lives, will pay off in ways we can’t yet imagine. So, trust your gut, be integral, and pay attention to the details. If you’re asking the universe a yes or no question right now, the answer is yes.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

June isn’t about big changes and big decisions for you, Aries. In fact, it’s time to slow things down and allow time for rest and rejuvenation. The universe will keep reminding you to do so by placing obstacles in your path right when you think you’ve got all your ducks in a row. This is because you are being invited to examine your personal motivations and reassess your personal goals. What you think you want might be very different than what you actually need or truly long for. So when obstacles appear, try to think of them as gifts from the universe that invite you to honour yourself at a deeper level. Are you acting from your mind, or your heart? Are you doing what you think you should do, or is this what you know is right for the overall picture of your life? At the same time, your body needs time to rest and repair, and your heart and mind need time to rejuvenate, so work to cultivate healthy and supportive habits.  I know slowing down isn’t the easiest for you, so finding bit-sized, manageable projects or tasks can help you keep from feeling frustrated and stuck.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

You’ve heard it before, Taurus. Rarely is the path to success is a straight line. This month this proverb is particularly pertinent for you. Trying to operate from a concrete plan of action will only leave you feeling burnt out and frustrated. You need some wiggle room to build a solid foundation through following your passion. What do you desire and long for? What lights you up and get’s you excited? When you allow yourself to honestly answer these questions, you are then able to create a plan that is more in alignment and subsequently removes any barriers or restrictions that may have been holding you back. Remember, you are building a foundation that is meant to support you well into the future, so make sure it is built exactly how you want with the greater goal as your compass heading.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Coming into June you may feel a little scattered, overwhelmed, or like you have too much on your plate. Too many things are demanding your attention, and you feel stretched thin and lack focus. It’s time to purge yourself of those tasks, projects, or even connections to friends and family, that no longer serve you or that are getting in the way of your ability to attain your goals. This will take a little bit of work on your part. You’re going to have to be real with yourself about what is important, and what is not, what you have energy for and what is depleting you. Try to get back to the heart of the matter, or the pure intention behind your current goals and aspirations. Why did you start on this path? What was the driving motivation? Who and what are serving that goal and who and what are distracting from it? Follow your gut, your intuition, and don’t be afraid to make necessary changes.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Have you been spinning too many plates lately? Are you feeling stressed out because you are trying to accomplish too many tasks in the day? June invites you to start setting boundaries, narrowing your focus, and reducing the amount of projects and tasks you have on the go. Take some time to reassess what you are actually capable of at this moment in time, and perhaps look at extending deadlines so you have more time to focus on those things that will actually benefit you in the long run. It’s also a time where you find yourself focussing back on your personal growth, health, and mental and emotional well-being. No amount of productivity is going to see you flourish and create success if you are burnt out and exhausted. It’s okay to slow things down and say no. You do not have to do it all at once.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

No rash decisions this month, my dear Leo. June is about being mindful, doing your research, and completing tasks to their fullest before taking anything else on. How you conduct yourself this month, both socially and in terms of your career, will determine the integrity of your endeavours later on. This doesn’t mean sitting still or becoming stagnant, it simply means that before you make a move in any direction it’s important to assess the situation, how it contributes to your long-term goals, and how it aligns with your core values. At times this may mean backing off and waiting to see what happens. It will also mean checking your ego and asking yourself if the next move will serve the greater good or leave behind those in need. So before you react to any given situation, pause. Take a step back and reflect. See this month as a lesson in integrity and self-awareness.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

A little birdie tells me that you’ve been feeling a little low lately. Do you feel lost at sea, like your sense of direction, and thus purpose, has suddenly vanished into thin air? Don’t lose faith, my friend. Instead, take some time for inner reflection. Like, really take a good look at yourself. What patterns and behaviours have been holding you back? For example, how do you speak about yourself in private and in public? Do you tend to diminish yourself and your accomplishments? Remember that you are the weaver of your reality. That you are whole and complete on your own. No one owes you anything, but when you start valuing and believing in yourself, you attract connections and possibilities that will contribute to your overall success. So be honest with yourself and start building the reality that you want, one thread at a time.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

What is your number one focus right now, Libra? Where do you want to succeed? What goals are you working to achieve? June is a great month for moving forward, for taking action, and for attracting new possibilities. The key here will be two-fold: (1) move forward with kindness and compassion; and (2) practice self-control. This means paying attention to your words and actions, it means creating structures and routines, and it means putting yourself in check when you want to overindulge. Persistence, patience, and a steady, gentle hand are your keys to success. Nothing will be gained by acting with force or exerting your dominance. Instead, see yourself as water, gently shaping a rocky shoreline. The fruits of your labours may not be readily apparent, but they will stand the test of time.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Stand in your integrity, Scorpio. Do what is right for yourself and for those you love, without compromise. Nothing is certain this month, in fact you might be facing some substantial changes to work or home life, but the key to moving forward and once again finding your path is to be present in each moment with both eyes wide open. Pay attention to the details, read between the lines, look at the situation from all angles and allow your next step to be dictated by what is right with no secrets and no hidden agendas. By doing so, you will reaffirm loyalties and support. So, it’s okay not to know exactly what direction you should be going in right now, what’s important is that you stay true to yourself and your values and let the universe show you the way.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Do you really want it? That goal, that dream, that thing? Are you ready to fight for what you want? To put in the work and do whatever it takes? Now is the time. Get creative, remember your self-worth, and be present in each moment. It might feel like the mountain is too high, or the goal is out of reach, but everything worth achieving takes effort. There are definite roadblocks that will present themselves over the next while, but don’t let them discourage you. Take them one at a time and try to view them as lessons, or as character building exercises. They are there to test your resolve and to help you remember there is always more than one path that will bring you to where you want to be. Put your thinking cap on, look for alternative solutions, and go for it with everything you’ve got.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You keep moving in and out of self-doubt lately. You’re not really sure you can trust your inner knowing that says everything will be okay. This is because your soul/source/spirit is working to push you to the next level of your becoming so you can emerge stronger, wiser, and more present and grounded. This means that when opportunities present themselves your brain will try to convince you that you are not worthy, that there is something wrong with this picture, and that maybe you should stay small. Don’t believe it. Instead try to approach these circumstances with innocence and playfulness. Try not to analyze, project, or predict the future. Stay in the moment and let things unfold. Let yourself experience this phase to its fullest, like a surprise birthday party where all of your favourite people show up and you are doted on and celebrated. You’ve put the hard work in, now sit back and enjoy the ride.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You are getting to know yourself again, dear Aquarius. It’s like you’re taking a long, hard look in the mirror and seeing yourself for the first time. Those laugh lines? They weren’t there before, were they? The way you carry yourself? It’s different now than it used to be, isn’t it? You have more strength, more grace, more self awareness. You recognize that you are growing and changing in ways you never thought possible. You are recognizing your flaws and working to heal and become a better person. You are seeing your strengths and giving them room to flourish. Just try not to over analyze and nit-pick. This is a time of feeling/knowing, of sensing within and being present. If you try to rationalize or explain this process with logic, it’ll fall flat and leave you feeling confused. Practice the art of simply being and observing and let yourself blossom.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Don’t try to reinvent the wheel this month, Pisces. June is not the time for switching careers, overhauling tried and true methods, or rash decisions. Instead, it’s a time to nurture and take care of yourself, to give yourself the love you so readily give to others. In this way you are able to stabilize and ground into your own authenticity; your light is able shine brighter and with more clarity. So keep doing what you are doing, take time for self-care, and stay open to possibility, connection, and inner understanding and wisdom. Your body and mind are tired because they need to rest and rejuvenate, not because you have done something wrong or are not good enough. Allowing for downtime means that when you do show up, you are able to articulate yourself better, stay present and grounded in your own knowing and personal values, and complete tasks with more ease.

Navigating May: Horoscope Advice for All Signs

All Signs

Walk with gentleness and empathy. Seek to understand situations from the others’ point of view. Establish balance by working to integrate all aspects of the Self. This means loving the dark as much as the light and focusing on wholeness, healing, and finding common ground. This is what May is bringing our way, my friends. It’s time to take a breath, get off our high horse, check our privilege, and be present and active for the common good of all. This doesn’t mean that we compromise our values or allow ourselves to get pushed off course by the needs or demands of others. It just means that we take a gentle and compassionate approach to our goals. Imagine yourself as the wind, able to shape landscapes over millennia, rather than the chisel that digs without compromise or empathy. We may not see immediate results, but our impact will be further reaching and more impactful.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

This month you are invited to walk through life as though each step is a prayer. This means being mindful and full of intention. Seek to find clarity about your goals, morals, and values. When challenges arise – of any kind – ask yourself, “what response will best serve the greater good of all involved?” It might feel like the universe is throwing speed bumps in your path just for the fun of it, but you know in your heart-of-hearts that they are there because some part of you asked for change and growth. Some part of you needs and requires them and your best response is to act with integrity and trust that the universe is supporting you. Your inner calls for change, abundance, and ease are being answered. All you have to do is be willing to keep going and see this current path is leading you.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Don’t believe the stories your mind is telling you this month. The worry, stress, and anxiety are not necessary, and somewhere deep inside you already know this. However, it looks like you’ll need a little nudge to help you come out of your current spiral, so the universe might have to intervene with a wake-up call. Remember, play, spontaneity, and nurturing are the goal. Anger, resentment, and the power play of the ego do nothing to serve your highest potential. You are invited to step into a gratitude practice. Focus on what you are thankful for, what you already have in abundance, and the opportunities that have come your way. Doing so will help you feel more fulfilled and bring more of what your heart longs for into your life.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Wherever you feel unsure, confused, or even slightly cautious, take the time you need to stop and take a closer look at the details. This means paying attention to the fine print in documents, the words and actions of those around you, and to your own motivations and responses. You have big dreams and aspirations that stem from childhood imaginings and the longing of your heart. These dreams are important and must not be lost in your pursuit of success. When they get left behind, that’s when you experience the confusion mentioned above. I invite you to go back to your original plans, to look at the big picture, and to scrutinize each step of each process to ensure that you are laying a solid foundation and that everything feels in alignment with your vision. Taking this time now will mean fewer complications and wrong turns down the road and will help you come back to a sense of strength and energized determination.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

This month the universe is asking you to clear all unnecessary tasks, projects, and goals from your to-do list. Think of it as a very necessary spring cleaning for body, mind, and soul. Overextending or over obligating yourself will only serve to take you off track and make you feel as though you are a rudderless vessel on high seas. Go back to the drawing board. Highlight what is important and get rid of the rest. The more focus you have with your core goals, the more success you will achieve. Now is also the time to ask for help. You might want to think you can achieve your goals all on your own, but the reality is that everyone, at some point, needs the advice, assistance, and guidance of those who have gone before us. So, swallow your pride and reach out to those who can help take some of the weight off your shoulders. Doing so doesn’t diminish your value or the hard work you have put in.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Ok, Leo. May is about taking action, but not in the way you might think. You’ve been dealt a few challenges, and you might be inclined to play the victim, throw up your hands, and tell yourself that you have no control over the situation. However, the universe is asking you to look deeper. Remove your ego from the equation and take time for self-reflection. What’s happening right now is the result of months of small actions, little conversations, and seemingly insignificant interactions. In order to bring things back into balance it will be important to meet each challenge head on, act with integrity and compassion, do your best to remove your ego (how you feel about the situation), and stay grounded in your deepest truth. By doing so, you can make this period a little rough patch instead of a drawn-out saga. What’s waiting for you on the other side is well worth the emotional and mental work, so stay strong and shine your light!

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

It’s time to boldly go where you have never gone before, my friend. Burst onto the scene, make the changes that need to be made, and act from your will/intent with full vigour and tenacity. In simple terms, this is a great month to change careers, get out of that stagnant relationship, to start that business, or find that new home. The one thing you may need to keep in check is your how you direct this fierce energy that is moving through you. Keep your focus on what brings you joy, what is in your highest good, and what brings you the most sense of fulfilment. You may be required to make some sacrifices in order to attain your end goal, but keep in mind that other people are not your enemy in this process. Tenacity is a valuable trait but be careful not to use other people as a doormat as you take steps to advance yourself and your dreams.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

The universe is working to get you back on track, dear Libra. You’re not quite seeing things right; you’ve got filters over your perception that are making life a little difficult and they need to be stripped so you can move forward and find true harmony. What this means is that May is about introspection; it’s time to take a closer look at your motivations, desires, and goals from a place of equanimity. Maintain a detached, non-judgemental awareness and use others as your sounding board while also taking the time to listen to and absorb their experiences and the advice they offer. Let these interactions be the vehicle for spiritual fulfilment that you so need at this time. And let the shedding of your delusions be akin to the first rains that clear the detritus and debris from clogged waterways.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Your desire to create is akin to the power of water through a narrow gorge, my dear Scorpio. Let this month be about play, innocence, and curiosity. Stay open to new ideas, let yourself explore, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. When things feel stagnant or caught in a loop of repetition, invite yourself to try and look at things with the eyes of a child. Pretend you have never been here before, that you’ve never experienced the situation or challenge you are faced with and then see what happens. Use the intensity that you feel in yourself and in the world around you as a catalyst for creation. How can you add colour, texture, nuance? How can you contribute to the overall orchestra and make it more fun, more alive, and full of childlike wonder? Trust me, this will be like healing balm to your heart.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

It’s time to fully embrace the leader within you. Harness the multifaceted knowing you carry, drawing upon all aspects of your being to recruit others to your cause and carve a path forward. Try to narrow down your goals and fine tune your focus. Having too many projects on the go will only serve as a distraction and cause you to feel scattered and frustrated. Plus, doing so will only confuse those who are following your lead. Be decisive, but compassionate. Think of the good of the whole and be realistic when it comes to the capacity of others to take on tasks or step into new roles. Designate tasks to those whose talents best serve the moment and relieve yourself of some of the burden. Let this month be about doing and accomplishing. You’ve got this.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Have the courage to see things for what they really are this month. You’ll need to look beneath the surface and weigh the pros and cons of each situation and interaction to find a clear path forward because not everything is as it appears. This need for this scrutiny arises out of the fact that you have too much on your plate. There are multiple things demanding your attention, and not all of them are deserving of it, and may even serve only as distractions. Get back to the core of the issue and be willing to call a spade a spade when necessary. This is also true of your own actions and motivations. What you think you want and what you actually need are two different things, so train your mind to see the difference and act accordingly.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Any feelings of fear, negativity, or self doubt stem from the fact that you believe yourself to be all alone in your current endeavours. It’s time to see where you fit into the collective, what your role is, and how you can best contribute to the overall good. This means being very aware of what you want to create, what you value in life at this time, and who you want to collaborate or align with. Be honest with yourself. Is it appropriate for you to take the lead in this situation, or is someone else better fitted to that role? Where and how you fit is not a reflection of your worth. By engaging, in whatever capacity, with groups that share your vision, morals, and goals you find your sense of purpose and you allow your fears and anxieties dissipate.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

When stress and anxiety threaten to take hold, tune into what you are passionate about and allow that passion to act as a diversion. Squirrel! Though it might seem like things are beyond your control, or that you have bitten off more than you can chew, you will find success if you surrender. Go with the flow. Balance out the feminine and masculine aspects of yourself; recognize when you are being called to act with creativity and spontaneity, and when the moment calls for discernment and focus. You’ve got the tools at your disposal – you already know how to be fluid and how to adapt – so put those tools to good use. Don’t let the world, or your mind, tell you that you don’t have what it takes to achieve your goals. Keep focused on what lights you up and makes you feel alive and full of purpose. Distract your mind by bringing your awareness back into your body.

April Horoscopes: Energetic Shifts and Self-Discovery

All Signs

This month sees a constant movement of energy; a sense of impermanence and shifting ground. Though this reality might have us all feeling lost at sea, it’s important to have patience and keep grounded in our goals, values, and aspirations. April is a time to inspire others through our ability to adapt, to don the hat required in each moment, and to think outside the box. None of the current problems or challenges can be solved using outdated tactics or ways of thinking. We cannot go back to “the way things were”. We can only move forward. Question everything, and weigh information against your own internal knowing, while at the same time staying curious, compassionate, and mutable. There is no concrete ground because the dust has not yet settled; we have not reached a collective agreement about where we are going or what we want our future to look like. So take time to breathe, to be present, and to do your best to move like water; to adapt to current situations and act from the longing in your heart.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Source is present with you this month, dear Aries. Spring is finally here and the change in weather is rejuvenating your heart, body, and mind. You feel a surge of energy, ambition, and creative stimulus. Allow yourself to get busy, to start those projects you’ve had brewing in the background, to go on adventures, and make the changes you know are necessary to create the life you want. Just keep in mind that the greatest factor in this boost in your mood, mental and emotional state, and self-esteem stem from your ability to find the joy in life. None of this regenerative energy will last very long if you use it to only focus on “getting things done”. It’s shelf-life is determined by regular acts of play, adventure, and heartfelt connections with those you love. Do the things that make your heart sing and that leave you feeling uplifted and inspired.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Some part of you has felt isolated and on your own over the last while. You’ve adopted an attitude of extreme self-sufficiency that served you for a time, but now has run its course. You are ready to break free. You are ready to re-connect and co-create. You long to reclaim the beauty in your life and in your relationships. To indulge your senses and be immersed in pleasure. The spring weather has you feeling invigorated and bold, like you could move mountains or cross oceans. Fear, self-doubt, and restrictive thoughts and behaviours are shedding themselves, making room for new ideas and a renewed vigor for tackling your biggest goals and aspirations. Just keep an eye on your finances as you’ll want to treat yourself (and rightly so) over the next while. Remember to keep it practical and don’t leave yourself stranded with no resources at the end of the month.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

There is a surge of creative energy moving through you this month, dear Gemini. Ideas abound, and you are ready to take action and see things through. This sense of divine inspiration will have the greatest opportunity to blossom and flourish if you remember to keep both feet on the ground. It’ll be important to act with integrity and discernment. Pick your battles, and don’t waste time and energy on those who have an ulterior motive or who do not acknowledge your talents, ideas, and contributions. These kinds of people also run the risk of leading you astray; steering you away from what you know is right in favour of dreams of glory and fame. See these kinds of interactions as wasted energy; you’re better off going where you are seen, heard, and appreciated.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

April is about slowing down and inner reflection, my friend. It’s time to quietly gather resources and prepare for the future in small ways. Don’t get frustrated when grandiose plans don’t pan out. Instead, use this time to research and listen to the stories and knowledge of others who have walked a similar path. In other words, April is about strategizing and gaining knowledge. You’re not as stuck or stagnant as you think you are. There are many other ways of being active than being outwardly busy or seeing the results of your labour in real time. Think of it as building your karma. You are setting yourself up for the future through acts of learning and shared experience. Keep your ears and eyes open, and your mind curious. Listen and watch for the wisdom that can be gleaned from the stories of others.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Does it kind of feel like you’re a clown balancing on a ball, juggling ten Chinese teacups? I know, you suddenly feel like maybe you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, and everything feels like it’s out of control. Stop. Breathe. Take some time to reassess and come back to centre. April is not the month for overt action or making big decisions. Instead, it’s time to seek equilibrium and find balance in body, heart, and mind. What tasks can you hand over to others? How can you step into the background for a bit and let others take the lead? Allow yourself time for self-care and to indulge your senses. Yes, this means go to the spa or rent an Airbnb for the weekend. But also, get out into nature, find time to do your art, drink your morning cup of tea while staring out the kitchen window. I know it seems counterintuitive, but if you allow time for rest now then all those goals you have will be more easily achieved as summer rolls around.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

There’s a bit of a disconnect going on between what you think is happening in your life right now, and what is really going on. I know, you don’t want to acknowledge this truth, but it’s the reality nonetheless. Change can be scary, I get it, but if you follow the internal tide that is swelling in your heart and allow it to burst the dam of your resistance, there is soooo much potential waiting for you. The thing is, this potential requires a rebirth. It means you can’t hold on to who you thought you were or where you thought life was taking you. The best thing you can do is view this movement as an adventure. What’s around the next corner? You don’t know! And isn’t that glorious? There are so many beautiful people and experiences waiting to greet you! Can you allow yourself that gift? The longing in your heart is your guide. Let it lead the way.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

April is going to bring to light issues that you thought had been resolved but still need to be worked through. This means it’s now time to be honest with yourself and with others. No more playing in the shadows, no more dancing around the issue, no more saying one thing and then doing another. Have courage, act with integrity, and express what you want, desire, and need with heartfelt honesty. By doing so you can bring harmony back into the relationship or interaction and find the balance you so desire. But let’s be clear. You’re in the mood for a little adventure, and this is what is ultimately creating the sense of discord. If you just fess up to yourself and those around you that you want to shake things up, have a change of scenery, and do something different, things will go a lot smoother.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

All movement is directed inwards this month, dearest Scorpio. You are like the seed that has detected warm soil and the kiss of the rain, but you have not yet cracked open to send your shoot to greet the sky. On the surface and in your external reality this might look like every step you try to take is blocked by unforeseen circumstances. But if you pay attention to your internal world – your feelings, thoughts, dreams, and how your body feels – you’ll realize that you are learning so much about who you are and what you want. Imagine that your past and future Selves are present with you, sending you support and vital information. Instead of getting frustrated when things don’t work in your favour, strive to move with grace. This is a time for self-transformation. Instead of fighting the process, it’ll be easier if you go with the flow.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The universe will be sending you signals throughout the month, so I recommend you keep your eyes and ears open. You’ve been asking for guidance, feeling a little lost at sea. You want direction, you want focus, you want to know where to point your arrow, and the answers are trying to make their way to you. First, take some time to look at the big picture of your life. Assess which battles are worth fighting, and which are best left behind. The answer will depend on which ones are most in alignment with your highest good and that of those you love and care about. Second, work to dispel the fear of the other that keeps trying to take hold of your heart and mind. Doing so will require you to go on an inward journey of self-discovery. To sort the external noise from your innermost truth and longing. I encourage you to turn off the news and get out into nature. Humanity has more in common than it has differences. Can you see yourself in the other?

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

April is all about nurturing, my dear Capricorn. Nurturing yourself and those you love. Open space for spontaneity and fun, for creativity and cozy evenings at home. Trust that the universe has your back and that everything will work out how it’s supposed to. It won’t help you to try and force things right now. Instead, seek balance and equilibrium. Try to bring yourself back into harmony with nature and the world around you. This will require acting with integrity and being fully present in the moment. It’s more than okay to follow your intuition and make decisions that may not seem logical in the moment, just make sure they sit right in the pit of your stomach. The universe will take care of the rest.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

April is a month of open-hearted learning for you, Aquarius. Pretend that you are a child discovering the world for the first time. Practice this in your everyday life. Brush your teeth in a different pattern, try new foods, change up your wardrobe, and don’t assume you know how your partner is going to respond in certain situations. Instead stay curious. What can you learn from each moment, each interaction and situation? A new vision of yourself, your life, and your direction is starting to form in your subconscious. You have no idea what this new vision will look like, and you are not meant to quite yet. Instead, this is the time of learning and discovery. Don’t let yourself get dragged into semantics or the mundane rhetoric of those who choose to stay close minded. See yourself on a quest to discover how you can better serve humanity through careful observation and tenacious curiosity.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You are not alone. Stop telling yourself that same, old, tired story. Even though there may be conflict or disharmony in some of your relationships, it’s important to remember that you are part of an interdependent web. In fact, Source is bringing you an opportunity to completely change this narrow and isolated view you have of yourself. It’s time to recognize that you can achieve so much more through cooperation and interdependence than you can by trying to do it all on your own. Embrace your future and train your mind to see the love you have been given, the support you have received, and the encouragement that others have offered on those days when you had trouble believing in yourself. This internal work will allow you to more fully embrace your potential and feel in alignment with your life’s path.
