All Signs

February is going to feel like we’re all planes waiting in a holding pattern above a runway. We won’t feel like we’re making much progress even though we can see the end result on the horizon. This doesn’t mean we stop working toward our goals, it doesn’t mean we sit idly by and do nothing, it simply means that the effort we are putting in is more about working to sustain where we are and what we have already achieved, as we continue to build the foundations needed to reach our larger goals. One way to see ourselves through this month is to focus more on play and pleasure. To realign with what brings us joy. To remember that our hopes, dreams, and goals are not just to work hard and make money, but they are about creating a better life, a full life, a life worth living. The second coping mechanism comes with continuing to build community. No one does anything all on their own. No matter what we do, we all rely on others to keep us comfortable, to put food on our table, to build the houses we live in and more. But beyond that, community is important because it creates diversity, brings in new perspectives and ideas, and allows us to solve problems with more creativity and awareness.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You are working toward a rebirth, my friend. A new stage or phase of your existence, that maybe you never thought was possible. In fact, you are reflecting on your community, your network of humans, and seeing with renewed clarity the skills and knowledge you have to offer. There are many in this immediate network that see you as a natural leader. They look to you for answers and guidance, but you have been capitulating about whether or not you want to take on this role and whether or not you feel you deserve it. How about, instead of putting so much pressure on yourself, you broaden your perspective to see your role within the group? By doing so, you may start to see that your role is not to lead by dragging others behind you, but to support them in the blossoming of their own unique talents. The focus then shifts from pushing everyone to do their part, to working alongside them.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

The month of February brings you a ton of inspiration, dear Taurus. You are creating magic by being who you are, by circling into the very essence of your being and shining your inner sun out into the world. You are a voice for change right now. You are the one speaking out against hate, bigotry, and violence. You are the one advocating for love and peace. Above all, I want you to hear that it is important that you not dim your light. Keep being your proud, beautiful self as much as you possibly can, because you are going to be met with a lot of people who will try their best to hold you back. These people will project their own insecurities, ignorance, and inner confusion on to you. You won’t accomplish much, in terms of greater goals, this month, but your ability to dream of a better future for all of us will open doors to opportunities that will be far more rewarding than you can imagine right now. So, hold steadfast. Keep doing what you know to do, and keep shining your light. Things will shift as the year progresses.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

This month, your Source is tricking you into stepping into your greatness, into accepting the return/reward that wants to come in your direction. You have isolated yourself off from the world, or perhaps built a wall around your heart. Others find it hard to access you, to get to know you and show you that you matter to them. But the universe is conspiring (in the form of lessons and challenges) to get you to break down this wall and help you find equilibrium in heart and mind. So, when you come up against difficult situations and your ego responds with emotion, take a moment to step back and analyze why you feel the way you do. Ask Source to show you why this circumstance has come up, what lessons it has to offer, and what reward is waiting at its core.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Cancer, you need some YOU time. You need to set clear boundaries, remember to say no, and take time to go inward. What makes you tick? What do you really want? What matters to you? Can you come into better alignment with your deepest self? Allow yourself to feel, to have moments of cathartic release. Honour your heart, body, and mind for what you have been through, the battles you have fought, and WON! This deep dive has purpose. It’s the universe teaching you to drink fully from your own internal well, your connection to Source. We are never separate from the All That Is, we just convince ourselves that we are. Listen to your ancestors, they are there waiting to support you and pass along wisdom. Maybe you do some research on your family tree. Maybe you read a book set in the region your ancestors once lived. Maybe you spend time meditating or simply tuning in and listening. Whatever you do, make time to honour your innermost self and reinvigorate your connection to Source, however you see it.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You know how in quantum physics there’s this thing called entanglement theory that says that “once two particles become entangled, they remain connected even when separated by vast distances”? If not, look it up and then take some time to imagine every particle in your body being connected to every other like particle in the universe. Feel your existence from there. And then take a look inward and be brutally honest about what patterns and behaviours need to be transmuted so you can live continuously closer to that feeling of being connected to the All That Is. You are about to turn a corner, to forge a new path, to step in a new direction. The path is laid out before you, and you know, deep down, that this change of direction is meant to be, but your thinking mind needs time to catch up. Let go of the old you and step into the clearer, more awake person you have been working to embrace.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

The universe is dropping you love letters in every way it can right now. You will see signs everywhere; in conversations, in music, and in the books you are reading. You see, you’re a little more vulnerable than you think you are at this moment in time. You heart and being are akin to a rosebud about to bloom. You are filled with ideas, with inner knowing, and revelations about who you are and the direction you want to go in. This is a tender place for you. You are learning to express yourself in a completely new way. You are like a child who is discovering the world for the very first time. This means that you could be gullible to other’s agendas because they say what they think you want to hear. They want to harness your energy, your beauty, and your magic for themselves. So, watch for and listen to the signs the universe is sprinkling along your path so that you can continue to follow the route that best supports you and lifts you up. Don’t get suckered into false promises.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Your journey of transformation continues, my friend and right now it’s important to identify just where you are on that journey. Bring awareness to the reality of your now. What are you capable of (energetically, emotionally, and physically), what is important at this point in the process, and how can you conserve your energy or direct it to where it is most needed? Try to remove your emotions from the equation. Look at your life and what you are currently working on (inwardly and outwardly) with a detached and calm mind. Everything is as it should be, everything is progressing in the manner that it was meant to, your only job is to work with the flow of change in a way that doesn’t drain your internal resources. So set boundaries, be careful with money, do the self care things that help to fill your cup, and be real about where you are in the now. Try not to get caught up in the future or worry about the past. Stay in the moment as much as possible.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

February means learning to see even more clearly into the hearts of others. It means learning not to cloud what is with what you expect. Be clear with your intentions, use your word crafting abilities to communicate and share your truth with those who matter. The more you are able to do so, the more progress you will make. Whether in relationship, career, or with friends and family it’s important to observe with all of your senses and communicate with honesty and integrity. And trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, if you feel that someone is hiding something from you or not telling you the whole story, listen to that feeling. Ask yourself why you feel that way. Strip the scenario of all internal biases so that you can discern the truth at the heart of the matter. The moral of the story here is that if you want to make progress you have to be clear with your intentions, both to yourself and to the world.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The obstacles that lay before you can all be removed by thinking outside the box and drawing on the trust and loyalty of friends and/or family. Things aren’t going to resolve themselves right away, but if you’ve felt like you’ve been banging your head against a wall, shift your focus. How can you do things differently? What resources can you draw upon that you haven’t looked to before? You need innovation. You need a new and refreshed perspective. And you’re going to have to trust the abilities and knowledge of others to find it. There are people out there who are far more loyal to you than you realize. They care about you, what you are doing, and where you want to go. And the more you let your weird light shine, they more they will get on board with whatever you have planned.  

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

The end of a cycle is currently taking place, or soon will be. You’re sort of at that place where you know you’re going to have to make a change, but you don’t quite know what that change looks like yet. This change will reveal itself in due time, but in the meantime, there are four things you need to pay attention to: 1) Keep going on the current path. There is no point in exerting tremendous energy in a new direction right now. Prevent stagnation by moving forward slowly and methodically. 2) Trust the universe. Even though you feel unsure about your future and your next steps, trust that new and wonderful opportunities are on the horizon. 3) Look at this situation, and the world, with eyes of innocence. Try not to project too much. Instead try to see this as an unfolding adventure and live in anticipation of the next chapter. 4) Rejoice in your accomplishments, your connections to loved ones, and in life itself. Focus on doing things that bring you joy and make you feel excited for tomorrow.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Strategy is required in order to move forward. So put your thinking cap on, draw upon your internal wisdom and experience, look to patterns in history that relate to your situation, and research contemporary methods that relate to your focus. You are at a delicate stage of development (both inwardly and in terms of an external project). Lack of clarity and continuing to do things the way you have always done them will result in setback. Or it will mean that your dream will not manifest the way you envisioned. The return you are looking for, the nourishment you seek, is going to start showing up, though you may need to adjust your perspective in order to see it coming.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

For you, February is about movement. It’ll be a journey of discovery and new possibilities. This could mean you hop on a plane, it could mean advances in your career or creative endeavours, or it could mean an internal voyage that teaches you more about yourself in a positive and joyous manner. In any case, this journey is going to help to cleanse you of any residual inner debris that may be holding you back from abundance, reward, and success. You might experience the occasional emotional storm surge, especially if you happen to stumble across a nostalgic memory or come across yet another aspect of self that you have to let go of, but let yourself feel it. Say your goodbye’s and wish them well. Doing so will leave you feeling lighter and filled with more strength and enthusiasm for the road ahead. Most of all, keep trusting yourself and the path you are on. Doubting yourself is for yesterday. Shining your light unapologetically into the world is the new you.
