All Signs

Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. You can’t logic your way out of your fears, your doubts, and your insecurities, and maybe you can’t even see the road ahead of you; you just have to trust. You have to let go to the unknown and trust your inner knowing. We’re all going to experience this discomfort to some degree over the next month as we put one foot in front of the other as best we can. While this might be challenging, it can also be a beautiful act of personal liberation. Take time to notice the little things. Be grateful for what you have. Give yourself the freedom to create and trust your own process. When opportunities present themselves, do your best not to over analyze or fall into negative self talk. Instead, refocus on what you really want and continue creating your life and your dreams with intention. The universe is encouraging us to get out of the narrow pathways of the known and surrender to the MORE that is possible in every moment. This month might be a little maddening, especially if you are a Virgo, but if you are able to find moments of surrender and faith in the universe, you might just come to some deeper realizations about what you want, where you are heading, and how you want your life to look along the way.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

What is your idea of play? This month invites you to take a look into your past and analyze the examples you have been given over your lifetime about what play means. Whatever it is, whether you are someone who can only have fun when you’ve had a few drinks, experience an adrenaline rush, or are surrounded by people, it’s time to recognize that those patterns may not be inherently yours. So what does play actually look like to you? What activities actually help you relax and let go of your to-do list for a while? What makes you laugh? What circumstances do you REALLY need in order to surrender to spontaneity? Your current requirements for play are more than likely a response to past trauma or imposed beliefs. You likely weren’t allow to play and so probably rebelled as a teen in order to find moments where you did not need to be on guard all the time. But the act of play is much, much more than just a battle cry for independence, it is a stance of receptive openness where we tap into our own inner knowing through joyful acts.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

What you’ve been asking for is on its way. I know it’s been taking a little longer than you expected, or would have liked, but it is coming. Keep spreading the word, keep moving toward your goals as best you can, and trust. There may still be some work to do, kind of like when you do a last walk-through at the end of a shift to make sure everything is ready for the morning. This work is in the form of bringing into balance the divine masculine and divine feminine within you. What parts of these two intrinsic parts of self still need healing? What parts need to be honoured, seen, and heard? Can the divine masculine within you hold space for the spontaneous, deeply feeling, and creative divine feminine? Can the divine feminine within you stop at nothing to help the divine masculine come into wholeness? These may seem like big questions, but if you think about it, you’ll recognize that you’ve been doing this work for the past month anyway, you just haven’t known how to put it into words.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Ok, Gemini, you’ve been living life like it’s a chore. Your list is a mile long and you never feel like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, am I right? And to some extent, that’s great. You’ve got goals you are trying to reach and you are putting in the work to attain them. On the other hand, you’ve lost sight of what actually lights you up. So these are some questions you might want to ask yourself this month: what makes me excited to be alive? What makes my heart overflow? What brings me a sense of fulfilment? When asked with sincerity, these questions may bring you a deeper understanding of the path that you are on and remind you of what is truly important to you. We can only function with our noses to the grindstone for so long before we burn out or become bored and lose interest. If you truly want to attain your goals, you need to infuse your awareness with those things that bring you a sense of excitement. Don’t worry, these things are in alignment with your dharma, or life path, even it it’s not readily apparent. Trust that what your heart wants, is what will bring you the most reward.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You can’t build the life you want if you never share your dream with anyone. Living in isolation, or hiding your true self (wants, desires, creativity) from the world will only leave you feeling lonely, and perhaps resentful. You’ve got to take a chance sometimes, come out of your shell, and let others see your vulnerability. When you do so, you do run the risk of being hurt again, I know, but you also allow the universe to respond to you in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. Suddenly that thing you’ve been praying for shows up, or you find someone that really “gets” what you are talking about or what you want to create. September asks you to do more than peek out from underneath your rock, it asks you to venture out onto the beach and find kindred heart, let others see you in your full glory, and find new perspectives on the road to your becoming.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You’ve been carrying burdens that are not your own, my friend. This has led to feelings of resentment because you don’t feel you are being recognized for your efforts. This is not ok for you, or for others involved. For one, you are robbing those others of their own life lessons. And two, you have put yourself into a situation where you feel isolated and alone. This month is inviting you to shift all of that. What can you let go of right now? What are you doing for others that they should really be doing for themselves? I know it might be hard to do, but you’ve got to put the responsibility back where it belongs and claim your life back. Set yourself free to create and do what you long to do. This simple act of setting boundaries will not only leave you feeling lighter and more energized, but it will bring magic your way. People, things, and situations you didn’t even know you were asking for will suddenly appear and you will once again find ease and flow in your daily life.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

There’s a compromise that needs to happen if you want to find that sense of fulfilment that you’ve been looking for. Mostly because you can’t do it all on your own. And I know this is frustrating. You’re fiercely independent and you don’t want to have to rely on anyone. But, if you want your inner cup to be replenished and find your sense of purpose once again, you’re going to have to invite collaboration. Now, this does not mean compromising your personal morals or values. Stay strong with what you know is right for yourself and for the big picture. This is how you attract the right people. Where you do need to compromise is in the “how”. People have their own unique creative expression, whether they apply it to an artistic venture, or a corporate project. This month, practice engaging with others who fill the gaps in the repertoire of your talents. In this manner, you can allow your personal strengths to shine and feel accomplished, fulfilled, and grounded into your sense of purpose once again.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Imagine a river running through a valley. It’s clear and full and provides water source to all the inhabitants of the land on either side of its length. This river has intention: to get to the sea. It is following its dharma, both in providing life and in performing its role in the earth’s water cycle. Now imagine a city is built on its shores. The city grows, the river gets clogged with waste, and the waters are churned by activity, thus stemming its flow and contaminating its purity. This is your energy right now. You are stuck, you are stagnant, and you don’t know how to move forward. But you and I both know there is so much potential that continues to run from upstream. You have just lost sight of your source. You have lost sight of the beauty that is YOU on this earth. It’s time to go with the flow, it’s time to unclog the arteries of your emotional and energetic bodies. Your inner sunshine wants to be reflected in the cool, clear waters of your inner truth. I hope you decide to take time to heal, ask for help, sit with your feelings, and be present for yourself. You’ll get through this.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

All that sorrow you’ve been carrying around? That heavy weight of lethargy and futility? Ya, it’s trying to lift this month, my friend. You’re in for a full-blown breakthrough on the inner planes. But first, you’re going to have to spend some time really feeling all those feelings. You might, in fact, feel like you’re falling apart for the first couple of weeks of September. But then things will start to shift and it will be as though the sun has broken through the clouds and you feel lighter and more alive. A lot of this has to do with letting go of fear and learning to see things as they are, not covered by the filters of your trauma and learned patterns. You don’t have to do things the way you’ve always done them. You don’t have to keep carrying pain, and its subsequent behaviours, just because that’s what you know. You can decide to step into your truth at any time. And over the next while, the universe is going to provide you with as many opportunities as it can to help you see this for yourself.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

September is going to give you some unique opportunities to reactivate the talents of many of the lost and forgotten parts of yourself. You’ve been praying for a change, you’ve been praying for some excitement and to get out of the funk you’ve been feeling over the past while. The thing is, if you really want change, you won’t get away with staying at your current level of awareness. There has to be growth in order to move forward. So it’s time to shine a light on all those talents you left behind at some point or another. In other words, you are going to get what you want, but you are going to be challenged in the process. You’ll have to draw upon all your resources and learn to stay present. It might be tempting to get overwhelmed and decide that whatever is happening is not meant for you, but I encourage you to stick with it. If you do, your future self will thank you.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

I know you don’t see yourself as someone who actually has any influence on anyone, but that needs to change, dear Capricorn. You have a lot to offer any group that you step into and, whether you see it or not, others do look up to you. September is your opportunity to cultivate your leadership skills and engage with others in a meaningful and empowering way. Whatever you are drawn toward at this time, I invite you to deepen into it. To let yourself explore, learn, and share your ideas with other like-minded individuals. You’ll find, that if you do so, you will quickly be elected to take charge; be centre spider, the head honcho. Now is a time to be bold, be brave, and to share your ideas with the world. Just remember to stay humble; you are one part of a whole, one spoke in a wheel. This energy is about creating community, about lifting others up, about doing what’s best for the group. Your talents lie in making people feel comfortable, heard, and seen. You have a natural way of including even those that are on the fringes and making them feel welcome. You offer a cool head during times of stress. You see a logical way through any challenge. And you have far greater creative genius than you realize.  

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Life is throwing a lot at you right now, I know. It seems like every time you turn around, you’re having to put out another fire or deal with another tragedy. You’re tired, you’re overwhelmed, and in response much of your emotional body has shut down. The thing is, shutting down won’t actually help you right now. If you want to find balance again, you’ll need to keep your heart open and vulnerable. It’s important to feel everything that is happening, because through all of these challenges there is an opportunity for healing. There is an opportunity to truly connect with community, kindred heart, and beloved. To deepen your relationship to yourself and to others. A helpful practice would be to take just five minutes a day to sit and scan your body for any discomfort, and sit in your heart to acknowledge what you are really feeling. Ask yourself, “what does my heart need right now?” and see what happens, what comes up. This small act of healing will lead to others and combined they will help you find balance to better navigate the tumultuous times you are living through.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Get in touch with your inner shine, my friend. How do you spread light into the world? How do you bring joy to others? These are questions that are worth asking because the universe is going to put more kindred souls on your path. It’s going to provide you with co-creative opportunities that most likely you do not have on your radar of possibilities. Try not to be too picky in your response to these opportunities, you never know where they could take you. Even though something may seem like it’s not related to your current situation, it could lead to a new and exciting path that is in alignment with your dharma. And there is an element of shared purpose here. Feeling part of something that contributes to the greater good of your community, or the world at large. Every person that comes across your path this month will provide you with a unique opportunity to become involved in, or create, community involvement. Use this month as an opportunity to restore your faith in humanity and your ability to participate in change.
