All Signs

October is going to be about shifting perspective. If we want real change, we must be willing to see things from each other’s point of view, to look at each situation from different perspectives, and ditch old ways of doing things. And we can’t be half-assed about it. We have to fully commit to creating lasting and sustainable change, both in our personal lives and in terms political and cultural structures. This means a close examination of every aspect of our lives from our own personal beliefs, to getting real about systemic societal issues and modes of operation. Take time to learn about your neighbour, your community, your country, and most importantly, the rest of the world. Get curious, be courageous, and make space for honest, respectful, and open-minded conversations.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Trust your intuition, dear Aries. This does NOT mean it’s time to over think things or to believe the stories your mind tells you at three in the morning. What I am saying, is listen to your gut. How do you feel in certain situations or with certain people?. Do you have a knot in your stomach? Are you experiencing anxiety, anger, or resentment? These are clues being brought to you by your Source and the universe. There is a current disconnect between what you know to do in each situation, and what you actually end up doing. Do you need to stand up for yourself more? Do you need to make changes in your life but have been afraid to do so? Do you need to slow down and stop pushing yourself so hard? Over the next month, I give you this challenge: whenever you are in a situation that doesn’t feel right, take a moment to step back and listen to what your body is telling you. What do you KNOW to do in that moment? And trust. The first thing that comes to mind is the right thing. When you have it, act on it and see how things change.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

You can feel fully justified in acts of self-care and even isolation, my dear Taurus. During October, you’ll attract abundance, people, and opportunities with with ease. However, this energy will also bring those who just want to stand in your light and benefit from your shine. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing (there are those whose presence will prove to be mutually beneficial), you’ll need to watch for the ones who take more than they give. So protect yourself and your energy, be clear about your boundaries, and try not to let others syphon off your good fortune.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Remember when you were a kid and you used to get growing pains every time you went through a growth spurt? Yeah, October is going to be kinda like that. But before your groan and cry “Woe is me!”, remember that growth leads to change, and you are the one in charge of directing that change. Life is challenging you to approach each situation, opportunity, interaction, and circumstance with more integrity and self awareness. Try living life as though each moment is sacred. Be mindful of each step and every action. Operate as though you are sending ripples through timelines into your future, no matter how insignificant these actions may feel. The more you settle into this as not just a practice, but a way of life, the more you will build your self esteem and confidence. In turn, this will lead to more opportunities and connections.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Sometimes we need to stop in our tracks and pivot. This doesn’t mean we’ve been going in the wrong direction, it merely means that the current path no longer serves us. You might have seen this change coming or felt it brewing under the surface as a kind of restlessness that you couldn’t quite put your finger on. But October is going to change that. There will be more clarity, more focus, and more determination. You’ll also have more energy and this energy will be vital to your ability to launch into the next phase of your life so use it wisely because it won’t last forever. Expend this precious energy on tasks that help bring about the change you want to create. If you don’t, you’ll have to work twice as hard later in order to make up for lost time.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Guess what? The waiting game is over. The universe has been working hard to create just the right circumstances to answer your prayers, and October is the month that it will deliver. Be prepared for a flurry of activity and to be taken pleasantly by surprise. You will be required to make decisions, to think on your feet, and stay open to new possibilities. Everything is coming together, perhaps better than you imagined, so stay grounded in gratitude and clear in your intentions. And don’t forget to enjoy and have fun. You’ve earned the reward that is coming your way and you deserve to bask in the fruits of your labours.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Ok, dear Virgo. October’s plan for you is to flush any disappointment you’re harbouring out of your system so you can bring about equilibrium in mind, body, and heart. This isn’t nearly as arduous as you think it is. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s time to have fun, to belly laugh, to be raucous and care-free. Let your hair down, let go of your responsibilities, and enjoy the moment. I know this isn’t easy for you, as you like to have all your ducks in a row. But if you don’t give yourself time and space to enjoy life for a little while, you’ll burn yourself out and not have the energy you need to do what is required as the year draws to a close. So let October be your season of rest and relaxation. Fill your heart with good friends, good food, and plenty of down time.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

October is going to bring about some clarity in both mind and heart. There will be plenty of “ah ha!” moments that are centred around your dreams and aspirations. Pay attention to conversations, signs in nature, and your dreams. These signs bring information that will help you shine a light into areas of your subconscious that have been hidden for quite some time. For example, what was your childhood dream? Who did you see yourself becoming as an adult? What did you aspire to? These childhood dreams are not just the fantasies of an as yet to be developed mind, they are the longings of the soul, and they are like a compass pointing you in the direction of your calling.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Shake it up, Scorpio. There are no excuses for wallowing in self-pity, or staying in situations that no longer serve. That restless energy isn’t going to just dissipate on its own. It needs to be given space, permission, and direction. And you are the only one that holds the key. Take the chance, do the scary thing, step out on a limb. The adrenaline rush will be invigorating, and you’ll soon experience a sense of relief that you’ll be able to feel in your bones. Just remember, only you can make this change. You can pray for it all you want, but unless you take action it’s just a pipe dream. You’ve got to believe in yourself enough to dive headfirst into the next phase of your life.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

This month is about finding, or fine tuning, your community. Where are the like-minded individuals that will feed your creativity, spark enthusiasm, and help bring light to your inner wisdom? Pay attention to the small details: how someone make you feel, how they live their life, what their interests are, and how the treat others. The universe has lit a fire under your butt and now is the time for taking action. The individuals your surround yourself with will either help, or hinder, both your ability to act and achieve. So be specific with your intentions, be picky about the company you keep, and be meticulous and mindful with every action.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

My dear Capricorn, please take some time to slow things down. October is about working smarter, not harder. This means you will benefit greatly from taking a step back, looking at plans, structures, and relationships and being honest about what works and what doesn’t. If you keep pushing yourself too hard and don’t take time for this inner and outer inventory, you run the risk of exhaustion, instability, and things falling into disrepair. This in turn will create fear and anxiety that could have been avoided. Look for signs from the universe, be honest and realistic about work, love life, and your health, and take action to correct anything that feels off, out-dated, or out of place.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Three things to consider for October if you want to see the abundance you’ve been asking for: 1. Let go of the negativity. Stop talking behind people’s backs, stop with the pessimism, stop thinking you’re the only one who can get the job done. 2. You need community. Whatever it is you are trying to achieve will only come to fruition if you engage with other like-minded people. You need fresh ideas, more hands, and a sense of co-creation to renew your passion and hope. 3. Stop with the secrets. What is your motivation for withholding information? Is it really necessary? If you want abundance, share abundantly. Give out what you want to attract. Be generous, be honest, be kind to others and to yourself.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Ok, Pisces, you’re at a bit of a tipping point during the month of October. You are going to be tempted to go back to old ways of doing things, or being nostalgic for the “good old days” because you feel tired and pushed to your edge. If you give in to this feeling, you’ll miss the transformation that is just around the corner. Do your best to move with compassion (both for yourself and for others) and keep your eye on what you are creating. Your energy is like a magnet. You are going to attract people and situations into your orbit, so be mindful of what signal you are giving off. And do your best to stay grounded. Practice self-care and self-compassion in the moments you feel overwhelmed so that you have the strength to keep moving forward and transforming into a more full and beautiful expression of YOU.
