All Signs

December is the month where we take all that we have learned throughout the year, integrate that varied (and sometimes heavy) information on a cognitive and spiritual level, and step into the new. In other words, we are once again experiencing a rebirth; reinventing who we are and approaching our lives and our goals with renewed clarity, integrity, and enthusiasm. So, if the last few months, or the entire year, have felt like you’ve been walking through a fog, wading upstream, or have simply felt like one shadow-work process after another, expect that energy to shift. We no longer need to be learning the lessons and we can now step into our karma and embrace harvest, return, and new beginnings. By the way, it’s okay if you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror. You’re not supposed to. Get to know the new you and find joy in exploring the unfamiliar road that now lies before you.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You can sense that, sometime in the near future, adventure awaits. You know this in your bones. But you don’t know how, and you don’t know when. Therefore, this month might find you feeling a tad lost. Your body will keep telling you (perhaps by having to force the issue) that you need to slow down. You will be faced with decisions that force you to compromise and simplify. You may even feel like you’ve taken two steps back on any progress you have made over the last year. This isn’t so, though. Don’t get fooled. You are in the midst of coming into synch with your future. The universe is providing you with opportunities to assess what really matters to you, and what you really want, in order to move forward in the new year. Stick to your core values, your dreams and goals. Walk with confidence, knowing that anything you are being asked to give up is in divine alignment and is necessary for the next phase of your becoming.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Okay, my dear. As we step into December you might find yourself a little on the frustrated side of things. Any attempts to move forward in a tangible and practical way are going to feel like they are getting thwarted. Like roadblocks have been erected at every turn. I’ll tell you a secret, though, these roadblocks have been sent by the universe. They are here to tell you that December is your time to dream. Dream big. What do you really want? What is your overarching goal for the coming year? Use this month to prepare, both inwardly and outwardly. Save money, make lists, fortify your spiritual resilience, pay attention to your body and what it needs. Instead of worrying about whether or not you got that promotion, or the fact that something you thought you really wanted didn’t manifest, take this time to reassess and get real with yourself. Psst! Part of the problem is that you have been afraid that you might not be worthy, so you were settling for second best. Spirit won’t let you play that game anymore. You are worthy of ALL the good things.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Can you practice looking at your home, your life, your community like you’ve never seen any of it before? Like you are a tourist in a new and exciting land? Pretend you have to start and that anything you want is attainable. What would you do? Would you recognize that this is the initial phase of a greater journey? Would you gather resources and set yourself up for greatness so you could meet the unknown with more confidence? And would you allow yourself to dream? Let your imagination guide you? Let yourself get lost in the creative process, whatever that is for you? This is your chance to get curious, absorb new information, and learn. January brings with it a whole new phase, one that requires a new approach and a new dream. So let December be the month that you prepare from a place of innocence and curiosity.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

It’s okay to let go of the fears you have surrounding success. Stop trying to predict the future. Stop telling yourself you haven’t got what it takes. Stop comparing yourself to others. If you take a few minutes each day to tune into your body and your heart, you will find that your mind comes into harmony with your inner knowing. You will come to trust that inner knowing and listen with more confidence to what it has to say and what direction it points you in. Family is also important right now. Utilize your familial connection (however that looks for you – families can come in many different forms), to help you feel stable and supported. Your family wants to lift you up and help you reach your potential, whatever that potential looks like to you. Remember, you get to define your life and your path. You are allowed to move in any direction you so choose. So use this month to come into synthesis with your own inner knowing, seek support from family members and friends, and in doing so let go of your fear.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You are filled with potential right now, my friend! It’s time to rally the troops, call in favours, and go in hot. Act on your ideas, gather with community, and create magic. You will have great influence on everyone around you at this time, especially if your ideas include giving back in any way. Utilize the knowledge you have acquired. You are a multi-faceted person, with multi-faceted skills and you are clear about your goals. You can accomplish much. Just remember that your influence, or persuasive power, is not the story. The story is what you are doing and why you want to do it. Who you do you want to benefit? Who do you want to help? What solutions are you offering the situation? Move with intention and integrity. Tap into your lionheart, your grand and compassionate love for your fellow humans. And stay humble by remembering that this dream you carry is a thread of the universe, it’s not really yours. It’s an expression of the All That Is.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Where are you going, my friend? Looks like a fun adventure! Can I come along? This month, you’re all about washing off the sticky film that 2023 has left behind. You want to start fresh in the new year. You want to have a new outlook on life, one that includes a full cup, feeling free, and committing acts of play. So, whether you actually have a trip planned, or you are just feeling restless, it’s important to find things that fill you up and that bring out your playful side. And because you need to feel cleansed and refreshed, I suggest activities like hikes in the rain or going down to the water and laughing with the wind. Take a candle-lit bubble bath or hang a lavender bunch in your shower. And yes, let yourself cry when you need to. By the way, you might find yourself a little weepy as you reflect on your year and what you can now let go of.  But it’ll pass.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

December isn’t about making big decisions or putting big plans in motion. Trust your gut, your inner knowing. You’ll find power in paying attention to the details, to being meticulous and methodical. It also lies in your compassion. How much can you see things from the other’s perspective? How much love can you hold in every interaction? How effective can you be at taking yourself out of the equation and staying present for the needs of others? And what can you contribute to the health and wellbeing of your family and friends? You see, if you want to make headway with whatever goal you have, you’re going to have to attend to the day-to-day, nitty-gritty, mundane tasks that are a part of everyday living. Get good at those, and you’ll teach yourself the consistency you need to follow through with the bigger stuff. And don’t underestimate the power conscientiousness, paying attention to the details. It’s baby steps that eventually lead us to great things. And if you don’t know how to proceed, trust your intuition, logic, and your capacity to learn.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Kundalini forces are at work in your life right now, dear Scorpio. What this means is that you are going to feel ignited from within. It’s time to burn away old patterns and behaviours and remember that you are a cosmic being, and as such, you are woven into the fabric of the All That Is. The intensity with which you feel this might cause a little stress at first, but it’s important to remember that the stress reaction is happening because you are on the verge of something new, and it’s actually the unknown that scares you. Keep moving toward what you want, no matter how scary it is. Trust me, the payoff will be worth it. You have a buttload of tools in your metaphorical and practical toolkit, utilize them all. Shed the skin of your old self, and step into the new. Oh, and I recommend doing some kundalini yoga and breathwork, as well as researching the goddess, Kali. She’ll sort you out.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Okay, you’ve got a lot going on this month, dear Sag. You’re building the foundations of something and working to create more equilibrium in your body and your life, all while seeing the world from a new perspective. This perspective has to do with coming to the realization that you are always tapped into the boundless strength and support of Source. You came to this realization sometime over the last few months. Somewhere along your travels, you stumbled across something – a philosophy, a belief system, a way of being – that makes you feel connected to humanity and the universe. Thus, ideas and insights abound and you are inspired to create. In turn, creating brings about a sense of balance in mind and body. The trick here is to keep looking at the world like you are discovering it for the first time. To keep an innocent and open perspective, and to stay as grounded as possible in the process.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Have you been waiting to make that change and move forward with the next step toward your goal? Now is the time to act. You, and thus your goal, are going through a transformation, an upgrade if you will. It’s time to level up. There are a few things to keep in mind as you move through this process. 1. Protect yourself by staying clear about what you want. Keep a level head, reveal only what you have to (especially to those with any influence), and be strategic. 2. Do this all while being the rebel. If it makes you grin like a Cheshire cat, it’s the rout to go. Don’t get trapped into thinking you have to do things the way society dictates. Think outside the box and be bold. 3. Recognize what stage of the process you are in. What is the best course of action based on where you are actually at personally, financially, practically, etc. If you leap too far ahead, you’ll only wear yourself thin. Correct and methodical action reaps the greatest benefits.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

What frequency are you broadcasting on? How does your energy resonate and effect the world around you? Perhaps it’s been a little wonky lately, eh? A little off track or unfocussed? That’s okay, you were doing some much needed work in other realms, but now it’s time to recentre. It’s time to take back control of your destiny, become conscious of what you are attracting to yourself, and gather resources. Somehow the last few months have drained you, on all levels (bank account low?), and you need your cup to be filled. Give yourself permission to indulge in rest and self care, free-up your calendar, be frugal with your finances, and be clear about what you want to attract into your life. Allow December to be the month that prepares you for greatness in the new year.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Trust that what lights you up is what is required. If it makes you happy, do it. If it inspires you, follow it. You’re headed once again into the unknown, and you’re not entirely sure how things are going to work out, but you can trust that the universe has your back. As long as you keep following your bliss, things will unfold with greater ease than you can imagine. The trick here is to have boundaries. To protect yourself energetically and mentally. You know you easily get thrown off course, so take steps to help ensure that you can stay grounded, centred, and on track. Just because someone else doesn’t think it can be done, doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Your voice is unique, and the world needs your perspective, whatever that looks like. Oh, and it’s okay to receive. You deserve all the good things that come your way. It’s not just sheer luck. You worked for it.
