All Signs

If you are the type of person who believes that who you are—the spark of your beingness/aliveness—resides within your brain and thus ceases to exist when your body expires, you probably shouldn’t be reading these horoscopes. The human self is much more than that. Even biologically we are made up of the elements of the planet and the cosmos; we are not separate from existence. Despite our fumblings and the mistakes we make as humans making our way in the world, the intent of our vastness does what it can to move through our bodies and into our lives. These are not dreams or fantasy, these are the nuts and bolts that make up what you want, desire, need, and strive for. Set your intent with clarity. Determine what it is you want in your life, and what you do not. Trust that the unknown will bring the greatest return. Trust that you can accomplish your dreams even when everyone else would have you think that you can’t.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

It feels as though everyone is throwing their emotion, whether good or bad, in your face. Everyone wants to unload their personal baggage on you. Though this can be quite tiring, or emotionally draining, it can also be an opportunity for sharing on a deeper level than you are used to. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself also taking possession of the talking stick for long durations and boring your friends to tears. But also don’t be surprised if you find kindred spirit in others whom you previously thought kindredness could not exist. Conversation can lead to acts of co-creation, joy, and intimacy.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

It’s okay, Taurus. You’re going to get there. Just breathe. You’re still on a learning curve, and right now that learning curve is about calming down your mind. You’re causing yourself undue stress by over thinking every little thing in your life. Part of this is because you are afraid of losing control; afraid that everything you’ve worked for will unravel and you’ll be left with nothing. But this simply isn’t true, and there is much more magic, growth, and joy to be had if you just loosen the knot in your gut, let go with your mind, set your intent, and allow yourself to go along for the ride once in a while.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

When love is involved, nothing is as easy as we would like to believe. The “all you need is love” campaigners would do well to remember that love brings along with it a range of emotions including anger, sorrow, pain, and even frustration. But real love also means that we cannot turn our backs because love is a powerful and deep-to-the-core reality within our existence. You need to have patience at this time. Remember that you have to go through the bad times to get to the good. If your love is unconditional, if it is pure love that does not try to control, you will also learn to let go and trust.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

For whatever reason, for you, love or romantic relationships, equates suppression. You think that if you are going to open yourself completely to another, if you are going to share life’s daily trials and triumphs, you are automatically giving up parts of who you are. This perception could come from the role models in your life or from personal experience, and I don’t blame you for being gun-shy, but perhaps things could be different this time. Perhaps, this time, if you allow your true being to shine through without compromise and if you trust your gut and act in the moment, you might find that you can be loved for who you are.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Contrary to your belief, you are not the centre of the known universe. Now, you’ve been told this before but you’ve let the information flow off you like water off a duck’s back. I’m afraid that attitude is not going to work anymore. Underneath your cool demeanour is a person like the rest of us, and though you don’t want to admit it, you really would like to experience connections that are not all surface and small talk. Reality is going to hit, probably in the form of someone’s true feelings for you. The best thing you can do is bravely bare your own naked heart and listen to your beloved with all the powers of concentration that you possess. Through doing so you will not only weather the storm, but you will also find a deeper happiness than you have yet known.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Sometimes, in order to see our future, or even what we want from life, we have to let go of any control and allow ourselves to wander. This wandering can take place both on an inward plane, making time in the everyday for daydreaming, and in our outward actions through learning to go with the flow. If you’ve been praying for a sign to tell you which road to take, this is the only way the universe will answer. You can’t force things to happen, and there is something to the saying “take time to stop and smell the roses.”

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

A period of self-isolation is coming to an end. You are like the mountain man/woman coming down from your cabin by the river. You long for human companionship and family, so why not allow yourself to open to the possibilities? But then there’s also just the social you, the one that overflows with cultural commentary and ideas of co-creation and change. This person needs more freedom and like minds to share with. Don’t let your fears hold you back. Step out into the world and trust your instincts.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Your life is like a puzzle. The placing of each piece is a process unto itself and the bigger picture won’t become apparent until the puzzle is almost complete. Trying to force yourself to have a plan because that’s what you think people of expect of you does not allow you to find the magic along the way. What you seek is underneath all the “have tos” and “shoulds,” the plans and the polite conversations. Just accept this fact. Let it be what it is. You know as well as I do that non-conformity is your natural state of being. The where and why of the bigger picture will reveal itself in time.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You might be asking yourself why you are passing up some of the good opportunities that have been coming your way as of late. Don’t kick yourself, you are only being protective of your heart. You want to choose a direction that does not involve pain or sorrow, and it is okay to demand joy and contentedness. Your best guide, or Geiger counter, is your gut. When you are presented with an opportunity go home and reflect; gauge what it really means for the entirety of your life. It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks, you have to do what’s best for you.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Careful, Capricorn, if you hold your achievements too close to your chest, you’ll be left with no-one to share them with. Remember that you are not the only one who has been hurt, endured suffering, and had to work hard to get where you are. Do you really want to isolate yourself, or worse, put yourself up on a pedestal? Pride in what you do is different than an inflated ego. So go ahead, be proud of all that you have achieved, but also spread the good cheer and use your own energy to infuse the aspirations of others.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

What brings you the greatest sense of harmony? That’s right. For you, harmony occurs when you feel that your body and mind are in balance. Your body needs your attention right now, Aquarius. It needs time to heal with exercise, sleep, and good food. Whatever the reason for your ill health it is, in part, because you needed to remember that for you better body health equals better mental health. The grouchier you get, the more you have neglected your health needs, even if it’s just getting eight hours of sleep. So for your sake, and for the sake of those you love, pay attention, will ya?

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Stop fighting yourself, Pisces! Just what do you think you’re going to accomplish by analyzing very little urge, idea, desire, and aspiration that flows through you on a daily basis? The only way you’re going to get anywhere is if you keep plugging away, and maybe allow yourself to have some fun in the process. By this I mean that when you create, or act upon your intent, you need to stop censoring and comparing yourself to others. Trust that the inner thrust of creative energies is just as wondrous when expressed through you as it is through anyone else. Besides, you have nothing to lose. If you don’t like your creation, throw it away and move on.
