All Signs

Full moon was in Scorpio on May 10.

Politically speaking, this is not going to be a fun month. Expect a lot more fear out there in the world. And even though it would be easy to get caught up in that fear, it’s important that we pay attention to the counterbalance that is arising within you, me, the general public, and social justice advocates. This realization has to do with how we have all participated in the mess that has been created politically in the U.S. and in other parts of the world.

Healing and repair are the focus. Acceptance of the “other” is the focus. Critical thinkers will be listened to and will push to make their voices even more heard by the masses.

All of this translates over to our personal lives. Don’t let yourself get pulled into drama between you and your loved ones, or workplace politics with coworkers. No matter what’s going on, work toward healing and repair. Try to see into the situation, to truly know it and see it from all angles before making any judgements.

But fear is the big one to work on and to try and stay away from.

If you experience fear about anything—your relationship falling apart, worrying about your children, your co-worker is driving you mental, your neighbours are being disrespectful, or you’re just terrified that the world going to shit—it’s important to take a deep breath and step back from the situation. Use whatever method you have of calming your mind and coming back to centre. Look for a way to help create healing and repair and try to see the situation from all angles.

It’s all going to be OK. None of us is alone, we are not as separated and unique as we believe ourselves to be. Reach out to your friends and loved ones and share what you are experiencing. Open space for true communication. You’ll be surprised to find a lot more kinship and common ground than you think.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

If you build it, they will come. Use the current tide of energy, prosperity, and breakthrough to build your foundation—the core structure—of whatever project you’ve taken on. Stay rational in all your decision making. Don’t get swept up in the emotion of prosperity and reward. Keep your eye on the future and all aspects of your project. Be careful with your finances; spend money wisely and save what you can. This peak won’t last forever and eventually the real test will be endurance and staying power. At times it’s going to feel like you are bringing together lava and ice and trying to make them cooperate and work together. This may be frustrating and tiresome, but you’ll figure it out, don’t you worry.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Some kind of big change is on its way or is taking place right now. At first this change may look scary or negative and you may react with fear, but I urge you to reassess. Peel back the layers of preconceived ideals and beliefs and take another look at the situation. You have all the skills you need, a tremendous amount of knowledge and personal power in the situation, and you know you have the ability to orchestrate harmony between opposing forces. This is a chance for your soul to shine through into your work and your life. What you know to do at this time, what is pushing up from your heart centre as a sense of destiny, is an expression of something deeper inside of you and it will have a lasting effect on your life. 

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Seek to find balance between spirit and body, between the universe and this earthly realm. There’s a part of you that still feels lost and alone and like everything just continues to fall apart. However, if you take the time to examine the movement of your emotions, what kind of dreams your having or what thoughts surface in rare moments of alone time, you’ll see that there’s actually a spiritual awakening taking place. You are coming to know your own being and you are having epiphanies about life and your interactions with those you care about. Walk with gentleness. Seek to have compassion and empathy in all your interactions. That’s not to say that you should let yourself be taken off track from your goals or what you know is right, but you do need to be sensitive to the well-being of everyone involved.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

There’s some kind of change taking place in your life and you’re not altogether happy about it. In some ways you feel let down and disappointed and like you have to start all over again. It’s time to rely on your family and close friends. Reach out for help. If you keep yourself isolated and try to do everything on your own you will not have enough stamina to realize your goals. Take this time to gather energy and resources. Go with the flow of the change and trust that what your soul has in store for you is far better than you can currently imagine. It’s going to be tempting to quit, to throw up your arms in resignation and say “to heck with it anyway”. Please don’t. You’ve worked so hard. This is just another stepping stone and you can do this.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Go inward and find the still, calm waters you carry within you. You cannot defy the laws of the universe. Things happen for a reason, and if you want to find the reason you’re going to have to look within your own heart and mind. There’s a sorrow that you carry around when it comes to “beloved”. You don’t want anyone to see this sorrow, and you do a pretty good job of covering it up. But if you want to shake up the dullness you’ve been experiencing, if you want to bring about some excitement of the heart, you must have courage. Courage to open yourself and be vulnerable, to find the deep wellspring of heart connected joy inside you and be willing to share it with those others you long to spend time with.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You’re coming back around. You’re opening your perspective and letting the playful side of you occupy more space in your every day. This is good. Stay tuned into your own inner truth, free from emotion and prejudice, and you’ll do just fine. Access those deep, cellular memories that are both: a) knowledge that you have accumulated over your lifetime and b) knowledge that has been passed down to you throughout your familial history. Sit in the truth of these memories and allow them to help you navigate the world for the next while. You’re almost there. The birth that has been taking place, the one that has pushed you into a new phase of your life, is nearing completion. Remember that it doesn’t have to be painful. It can actually be quite fun.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

If you want to see any progress as far as your goals are concerned, you’re going to have to set boundaries. Boundaries for yourself (so back away from the beer/sandwich/candy), and boundaries with people who suck your energy dry and circumstances that are antagonistic. There’s an intensity about you these days. You are on a mission, and this is good, it means you’ve found a sense of purpose. Just remember that all progress you make will be gradual, and this is as it should be. You must take the time that is required to explore every avenue (even get a little obsessive compulsive about it), in order to really make whatever it is your doing work. I hope you remember to have fun every once in a while. You don’t have to be quite so serious all the time.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

OK, I know there’s a lot of negativity being thrown at you right now, but just ignore all that and listen to me for a second. See these? They are magic and breakthrough. I’d like to introduce you to them, they’ll be your companions for the next while. Stay open to them. Intend for them to come into your life. Weave your reality like a witch or wizard, pretend intend that you can do it. Not only that, but pretend intend that great things are going to happen, that you have the strength to make them happen, and that it’s all going to be awesome. Pretend intend that you will bust through all those patterns and inhibitions that used to hold you back. Just try it, OK?

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Hmmm, can you feel that? You are in a pretty good space right now. You’re coming into a new place of being, owning your talents, yet seeing the world through innocent eyes. Everything looks new to you, like there is potential everywhere. The world sees you as a person who is centred and calm, that you know what you want, what you believe, and how to go about achieving your goals. You might chuckle at this a bit because you actually feel like there are many different voices in your head, many different aspects of yourself at play. Capitalize on this time of smooth transition, of change and growth and transformation. Use it to amalgamate all of those voices and thus bring about new possibilities in your life.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Issues that you thought had been dealt with have resurfaced, and in this rerun scenario you are going to have to be the teacher. You have done some inner questing recently and this inner questing has allowed you to burst on to your own stage, so to speak. You’ve come to realize a lot about yourself, your relationships with others, your purpose here on the planet and what you want to do with your life. This knowledge will be very beneficial when dealing with the resurfaced issues. Stick to your knowing, stay in your gut. Be compassionate and empathetic and always take time to think things through instead of responding in anger or haste. And last, but not least, don’t stray from your principals or compromise your integrity.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You are so open and receptive to love right now, it’s ridiculous. You feel your connection to beloved stirring deep within you, it’s like there’s a sun shining bright from your solar plexus and it’s sending signals out into the world. It’s OK, for the most part, to go with the flow of things right now, to just see where interactions and circumstances take you. However, you must also stay alert and aware. There are those that can feel your intensity and are attracted to it, but will not reciprocate in the way you want or need. Learn to see through these people, and to generally get a good feel for those people you really do want to spend your time with. This lesson in discernment is important because no matter how “peace and love” you feel right now, you are actually looking for deep and long lasting connection, and this must be honoured.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

It’s all about the people right now, Pisces. You have a lot of influence, so your voice can be heard and your ideas taken seriously. You have an ability to take varying aspects of a project, or different personalities in a group, and facilitate co-creation and integration. There is, of course, a bigger picture going on here. Your soul is really present in your everyday life right now and sometimes you might feel as though your actions are not your own (you have no idea why you did what you did), but don’t worry, it’s all for the best. Make sure you take time to regenerate and refuel every once in a while. Remember the healing benefits of meditation and going out into nature. However, you’re going to find that interaction with people is more regenerative than draining these days. Ideas and laughter can be food, too.
