Follow the footprints of the soul, not the harried plottings of the mind.

All Signs

No matter what you’re doing, right now you are doing it with a whole lot of trust in the universe. Or at least that’s what the universe is trying to help you do.

Are you listening?

We’re all finding ourselves standing on the precipice of our becoming. We’ve worked long and hard toward a dream that began as a budding flower in the sunny groves of our longing. The roots have had a chance to bury themselves deep within the soil, creating future stability and big picture awareness within us. The branches (the blueprint of the future) have grown to support the harvest that is to come. And we are now in early spring, when the buds fill to almost bursting.

You’ll notice that we’re a little behind schedule in terms of the natural cycles of the planet. Which isn’t too surprising considering the fact that the earth herself is having trouble staying on track. We’re a little out of whack, and so is she.

As a collective we have turned a corner in our intent. Many of us have decided that we don’t want the apocalyptic future we’ve been imagining for ourselves, and that now is the time to not only work on ourselves (face our denial) and live our dreams, but turn around the damage we have done to the planet and each other. Many of us have chosen inner integrity.

In this way, harvest will come. Not because we have a goal to accumulate wealth and power, but because we have hope for the future and we are finally willing to invest in ourselves as beings that are full of beauty and potential.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Your personal lesson is brought to you this week by the concept of ordinariness. In other words, through the routine of regular daily activities, you are finding yourself. You are discovering that you like routine, even though you think you are a rebel. That an orderly house makes you happy, even though you would rather not clean. But you are discovering more than that as well. You are learning to slow down, to appreciate your talents, to find ways to occupy and stimulate your mind out of your own imagination. You are getting more used to quiet and learning to choose quietude over white noise. “Stop and smell the roses” is not really a phrase you identify with. Sure, you’ll smell them, but only if it’s on the way to do something productive. But you’re learning. Your need to control reality through building and forging ahead will soften into a place of wisdom where the desire to feel accomplished is not pushed by the desperate voice of low self-esteem.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Have patience, my friend. Magic is on the way, but you must give it time. Instead of charging ahead with a singular plan, you need to take a step back and nurture yourself, others, and your goals like a mother does her children. This means coming to terms with, and acting on, the fact that your loved ones and your dreams have minds and wills of their own. To nurture is to be aware that you cannot be in control all of the time. Magic (or spontaneous acts of serendipity that could not have been foreseen) will arise when you are able to seek what you want with maturity. Stay grounded; don’t react, but act from your intent; and try to see things and situations from all angles and with compassion.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Are you over-thinking things lately? Can’t seem to get out of your head? Going a little nuts and can’t sleep at night cause your brain just won’t shut up? Well, I have a cure for you. Can you guess what it is? That’s right: express your artistic side. I know, I know, you’re doing a double take right now, but it’s true. If you need stress relief, if you need something that will take you out of your narrow-mindedness and free up your vision to include the endless, wonderful possibilities that await you, get our your guitar, pick up your paintbrush, or slap around a hunk of clay. It doesn’t matter as long as you are exercising your creative capacities. Doing so will not only give you some relief in the moment; an escape from “reality”, but it will also allow your brain and body to sift through and sort your current challenges and come up with creative solutions.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Right now you feel as though you are fighting an uphill battle. You want movement and flow and for things to go right, but it just isn’t happening. A kind of dullness has settled itself around your senses, and this is actually what you are fighting against. You want to brush the cobwebs away, but you can’t. Do you know what the cobwebs represent? See if you can feel it for a minute. Did you discover that those cobwebs are all about how you see yourself? How much you trust your own intuition? If you keeping thinking “I can’t”, you won’t. Trust in your ability to be receptive. Trust that what your gut is telling you is truth, your truth, and that truth is trying to guide you in the direction of your longing. I know it sounds cliche, but love yourself. Open your arms to the possibility of your beauty and gloriousness. Give yourself a chance.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Imagine that the exhaustion you feel is a physical, tangible heavy mist. It’s a dark shadow that haunts the back of your solar plexus, and it’s blocking out your sunshine. For it used to be that the exhaustion was a real response to ongoing trials that in the face of which, you had to be strong. Now, the exhaustion has become a weight unto itself. It is an energy, a thing, a foreign entity that you must remove from your energy field. I suggest you go and sit with your back to your favourite tree. Imagine you are dumping the exhaustion like you would your first bowel movement of the day. No processing is required. You don’t need to delve into the “issues” or try to solve some messed up part of your psyche. All you have to do is let go. Intend to feel lighter, intend to have more energy, intend to see the world through a lens of possibilities.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Life may look like you’re watching a movie play itself out around you, but let me assure you, you are still in control. Or rather, your soul is. Your soul has taken over and has put your mind to sleep. Though you may still be going through your daily routine, and it may look like nothing extraordinary is happening, your soul is driving your body. In fact, your soul is building the foundations for a mass amount of growth that is coming your way. This means you have to have a lot of trust in yourself, for you will be functioning from your instinct. In other words, you will find that you aren’t thinking things through as much. If you try to fight this reality, you will trigger confusion and obsessive overthinking that could take you off track. Trust in the process and try to see what it is that you are building. Just where are you going?

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Like a focussed beam of light, you are intent on the movement that is taking place in your life. Things are flowing like a waterfall, a little chaotic, but refreshing and invigorating. At times this might feel a little overwhelming and might trigger an anger response within you. If and when this happens, respond from your rebellious side. Have fun breaking the rules and stirring the pot. Allow yourself to charge fearless into places where others fear to tread. The ecstatic loop this will create energetically will feed the intensity and movement that is taking place in your physical world, giving you stamina and inspiration. Congratulate yourself, you have come out of the dark side and joined the forces of light when it comes to your perspective on the changes that are now occurring.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You are going on an adventure, but in order to get underway you’re going to have to make some compromises. You see, you will have a travelling companion or two, and whether this companion is your kids, your spouse, a friend, or someone you haven’t met yet, is entirely up to you. In any case, their input about the path and stops along the way need to be taken into consideration. This is a big adventure, and you are already aware that it will change your life entirely. With that in mind, you know that there are many different angles that need to be acknowledged and listened to. Forging ahead without a plan will cause you grief later on, as your time for stumbling around and hoping things will work out is over. Be deliberate. Set intent. Make use of that magnificent brain of yours and remember to have a stance of receptive compassion toward those who are embarking on this adventure with you.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You’re a bit of a chameleon these days. You’re interacting with many different kinds of people and no matter who you’re with, you fit in just fine. In fact, you’re discovering new friends where you had previously thought there would be none. Lately you’ve been willing to lay aside prejudice based on knowledge and awareness of social class structure and just let yourself experience the common ground that connects all persons. A harmony is rising in your chest, easing the tension in your heart and releasing pent-up emotion. Bask in the brilliance of others and in the process learn more about yourself and what makes you beautiful. Try on the costumes and act the part and don’t be afraid for others do see your petals unfurling.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

All the narrow little pieces, all the tiny little fragments, all the “should’s” and “have to’s”. What are you doing? You’re following along, doing what you think your being told to do, but by whom? It’s you that’s creating these boundaries on your soul and the perception that you must be doing one thing or the other, and even you are getting sick of it now. You want to bust out and set yourself free. And why don’t you? Because it means getting in touch with your feelings. It means moving emotion and giving yourself a cathartic rinse of the heart. To you, this is a compromise. You really feel that you should just be able to get on with things, but your soul won’t let you until you have dealt with a few issues. You know what I’m talking about. Let it all out, surrender, and trust that you will make it through to the other side. Remember, it’s okay to be you.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Big change is coming your way. It will feel like an earthquake, like a volcanic eruption, like the pounding of a herd of bison. If you haven’t paid attention over the last few months, you are in for a big surprise; you’ll have no idea how you got to where you are and you’ll feel blindsided. What can you do about this? Celebrate. Kick up your heels and dance and revel in the fact that you have just been set free. For many of you this will seem very counter-intuitive, but trust me. Intend for magic and try to embrace the change. See that your soul is doing what is right for you, that the universe is not against you and neither is anyone else. Good things are on the horizon, you just don’t know it yet.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

A deep love is overflowing from your heart and spilling out into the world around you. You are in love with life, with creativity, with your spouse, your purpose, your children, your friends. But the intensity of that love — which is most likely expressed in obsessive compulsive overwork; long hours, too many projects, etc. — is causing you to feel overwhelmed and pulled in too many directions. Your thoughts are not totally clear and many parts of you are fumbling in the dark. Slow down, take a deep breath, remember self-care, and intend to shine a light on the most important actions you need to take. Try to narrow your focus, just a bit. You can do everything you want to do, just not all at once. Take that love you feel and channel it so that those fewer projects can later be the foundation for the many and millions of projects you have brewing at your inner Creation Factory.
