All Signs

Sometimes it takes us a while to find our way back to Source. The disconnect we experience between the personality Self and our inner truth is not our fault. As a collective we are taught that our attention should be directed outwardly, that knowledge is attained only through external sources such as higher education, a guru, someone with more experience, or some all-knowing deity. And while the information from these sources can be valuable, they cannot compare to the sweet fruit of inner knowing; of feeling grounded in our sense of Self. The road to this inner truth can be a long one, with many twists and turns and we must nurture ourselves and trust the process each step of the way. So be patient with yourself this month, but don’t give up. Keep going on the path of self discovery and prepare for new beginnings that are on their way.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Ok, Aries, it’s time for you to shine bright and be your most authentic Self! The more you let your weird and wonderful cast its light out into the world, the more you will invite abundance. So take a little second and ask yourself, “What does abundance mean to me?” What do you need an abundance of? Is it recognition? Is it friendship? Is it spiritual connection? Or does it have to do with your bank account? There is no wrong answer here, the universe just wants you to be specific about what you want so that it can help guide you in the right direction. Just remember to tune into what matters to your heart so that, in the end, you’re not left standing alone on the side of the road with your bag of money, metaphorically speaking.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Ideas abound this month, dear Taurus. You see so many possibilities and new ways of doing things, whether in your own life, your workplace, or in the world in general. Not all of these ideas are going to be worth following through on, but the ones that are will nag at you. They’ll invade your dreams and seep into your conversations. Pay close attention to those ones. Especially if they create a little bit fear or seem a little out of reach or unrealistic. They are where your power lies. These ideas will need strength and courage to bring into reality, but they’ll also give you strength as you realize how valuable they are. So let your stubborn streak take the driver’s seat and don’t be swayed by what others have to say. They can’t see the totality of your visions, only you can.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

What you think and what you know are going to be at odds this month, my friend. It might get a little confusing at times. You’ll be moving with confidence in one direction and then a moment of doubt will creep in and you’ll decide you need to change tracks. Be mindful in these moments. Where is the doubt stemming from? And why do you feel the need to beat yourself up so badly? That initial feeling/knowing/thought will likely be the right one and it will stem from your third eye, or the Seer within you. But your mind/ego is going to try to convince you otherwise, coming up with all kinds of reasons that you aren’t doing it “right”. Do your best to quiet your mind and listen to the wisdom of your third eye be listening to your gut. What is the truth of the situation? Where did the initial idea or knowing come from? Trust yourself, your experience, and your creativity. Your doubting mind is just your ego trying to protect you, but it doesn’t understand that you’re no longer in danger, you’re just filled with the excitement generated by inner truth.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Your time is coming, dear crab. The energy you’ve expended, the time you’ve spent, the work you’ve put in, it’s all going to pay off. Remember: it’s okay to reevaluate, to change directions when necessary, and to adapt to new realities and circumstances, but don’t get caught in the trap of comparing yourself to others. The minute you notice your mind playing the “they do it so much better”, or, “they have it so much better” game, take a moment to step back and remember your vision. Where are you going? What are you creating? You don’t actually want to be like them, do you? You want to cultivate your own magic. And the more you do so, the better you will feel, and the more the universe will be able to reward you for all the good juju you’ve been pouring into your dream or path.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Want to know how to relight the fire in your soul this month, dear Leo? Find people who balance out your energy. Those who are the yin to your yang. Who can see another perspective and give you honest feedback. Those who lift you up and cheer you on, but are not afraid to say what you might not want to hear. This goes for your internal state of being as well. Being a fire sign, chances are you are more masculine in your outlook. You like the lists, you like to keep busy, you’re not fond of inner reflection, and sitting idle feels like you are wasting time. What about creativity? What about rest? What about letting yourself feel the feelings that want to bubble up and spill out of your soul? Can you find time to honour these places as well? And maybe, just maybe, can you befriend these aspects of yourself? Doing so will feel like spring rain quenching a dry desert. It’ll flush out clogged energetic pathways and creating space for new growth.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Alright, this isn’t going to be an easy task, but I implore you to hear me out. I know you don’t really like to stir the pot, preferring to insert your opinions and knowledge in a more passive manner, but it’s time to change that. It’s time to let a little of the anger you feel seep through the cracks. Anger at injustice. Anger at the status quo. Anger at those who push their agendas on others (and you). You know in your heart of hearts, that we all have a unique way of looking at the world. That our personal sense of right and wrong doesn’t necessarily apply to everyone. And you have to admit that when the moral agendas of others infringe on the rights of those who are marginalized gets your blood boiling. So don’t be afraid to let that fire send out a few sparks now and then. Especially when it affects your life and the lives of those you love.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Want to inspire those around you? Want to make a difference in the lives of those you love? Would you like to show that you really care and that you are paying attention? Here’s the secret: create space for a personal rebirth. That’s right. It’s time to step into the Self you have always wanted to be, but have been too afraid to embrace. And you know what? You don’t even have to be “brave” to do so. You don’t have to work hard or force the process. All you have to do is surrender. Truly let go of control. Move with the tide of your own becoming. Follow your heart and be present in each moment. Pay attention to your body, to your surroundings, to the desires, longings, and needs of your fellow human beings. A radical shift wants to take place, and by allowing it to happen – instead of ignoring it with all your might and fighting to maintain your current status quo – you’ll inspire others to embrace their own path of rebirth.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

What if you could snap your fingers and suddenly be a monk sitting on a mountaintop with nothing but the vast expanse of the starlit sky and the moon to keep you company? This month the universe is inviting you to come out of the doing, and into the being. The more you can bring your awareness into the moment and learn to appreciate and have gratitude for all the little things, the more the sense of disappointment you’ve been carrying around will dissipate. You have done nothing wrong. You are exactly where you need to be. And I know that can be frustrating, especially if your current career path has been anything but inspiring. But there are lessons to be learned here, and the quickest way for you to move toward something more fulfilling is to simply be. So observe, have gratitude, pour your heart into each and every task, and stop worrying about the future.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Logic won’t get you anywhere this month, my friend, so you’re going to have to trust your intuition. Pretend you’re a spider, weaving the web of your life from the inside out. You feel your way along each thread/story/goal without the help of your eyes. As you do, your beautiful tapestry starts to take shape, as if on its own. It’s ok not to know what this current period of your life will look like once it’s complete. Right now, it’s all about the process. Your mind is going to try to set off alarm bells, but listening to them will only cause stress and anxiety. Instead, let yourself enjoy the moment and get fascinated by the micro details. For now, it is enough to use your spidey senses. Put out feelers, remain curious, and trust that each step is taking you closer to a goal set by your heart, one the mind cannot foresee or even understand.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You’re carrying a lot on your shoulders right now, aren’t you? People expect a lot, and you expect a lot from yourself. It’s ok that you find yourself here, you’ve been trying to do the right thing for those you love and that’s beautiful. But now it’s time to find ways to set down some of that burden. Doing so will create more financial stability, ease your stress, and allow you to find more time to do the things you love. This might not be easy at first. Your sense of obligation (as well as the fact that some of the things on your plate may be hard to let go of), might feel a little overwhelming. But take it one step at a time. Start with something small and attainable and move on from there. If you are in a management position, practice delegating. If you need help at home, ask family members to step-up more. I know you like to keep busy, but your body is asking for more space to simply follow your heart instead of doing things for everyone else all the time.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Be patient, dear Aquarius. I know you want it all done right now, but there are still things that need to be accomplished before you reach your goal. Take a step back and look at the big picture. What has been missed? What has been overlooked? Get out your pen and paper and write it all down. And then move forward along the most logical path. You don’t want to achieve your goal prematurely. That would be like an artist missing out on their chance to create a masterpiece because they were trying to meet a deadline. You’ll just end up regretting it, or worse, you’ll be left with feeling like you have to start all over again.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

“All you need is love, love. Love is all you need,” as the Beetles sang. Whatever you are working on, wherever your focus is during the month of August, pour your heart into it. If you are not able to pour love into it, then don’t do it. The time of overthinking, of doubting yourself and sitting on the fence is over. You have entered into a new phase of your creative process, one in which you can feel confident and empowered. So ride that wave and let your actions be born out of passion. Doing so will bring you much more abundance than any other tact you’ve previously tried. Your gift of foresight and empathetic knowing is not a burden to be carried around like a prisoner dragging a ball and chain. Rather, it is the key to your freedom and your ability to realize your fullest potential.
