All Signs

March is the month of intuition, dreams, creativity, and rebirth. It’s also a time for dreaming of the future; marrying imagination with the earthly reality of current circumstances. Both collectively and individually it will be important to examine structures, norms, motivations, and intentions. If we want the dreams we imagine for ourselves and the world to come true, we need to move and act with care and mindfulness and breakdown any illusions we have about who we are and our place within our communities and society at large. Where do we stand? What do we support? What are we willing to sacrifice our luxuries for? Where are we able and willing to use our privilege to help or uplift others? In our dreaming we need to make space for strategy and long-term thinking. Winter dormancy is over and now is the time to let hope, passion, and love shine from our actions.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

March sees you in a playful, creative mood, my friend. The sense of lack and getting nowhere that dogged you all winter has dissipated, and you feel prosperous and secure. In fact, you shine with a particular brilliance that only you can emit. Full of self-confidence and vital energy you suddenly have no hesitation when it comes to taking on extra tasks, providing help when needed, and problem solving for others who do not have your skillset. You have reclaimed your right to experience joy, play, and leisure. Revel in this newly found zest for life, but don’t rest on your laurels. The inner work you did to get here is not yet done, you have just started to glimpse the benefits of having begun it in the first place. Stay curious, stay diligent, stay open. Be present in mind, body, and heart.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

The spring brings about a new phase in your life, Taurus. The setbacks you’ve experienced over the past while are starting to clear and you feel fresh and ready to take on the world. Use this time wisely. Focus on the big picture and use your connections and experience to propel yourself and your goals to the next level. The key here is to continue to think outside the box. Giving in to “the way things have always been done” will only spell disaster for you and your creation. Your edge right now is your vision, so don’t let anyone stand in your way. This also applies when you run into inevitable obstacles. Be creative in your response. Be bold, be tenacious, be irreverent. Playing by the “rules” (whether in business, in your love life, in social settings), will not only feel confining, it will slow down the momentum you’ve built and delay the ability for change to take place.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

March finds you ready to embrace your vision of the future, my friend. Possibilities exist around every corner and ideas are bubbling up into your consciousness by the hour (tip: keep a notebook handy at all times). In fact, your excitement stems from seeing solutions to current problems that marry long-held traditions and ways of knowing, with technologies and advancements that are now available. Because of this you’re making all kinds of new connections both professionally and personally and there is this sense that you have found kindred heart or extended family. Just remember to stay in your integrity and be aware of what your body and intuition are telling you. There are those who would use your enthusiasm to push their own agenda, so you need to be clear about your motivations and what kind of actions your morals and intentions align with.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Remember to nourish body, heart, and mind this month, dear Cancer. It’ll be important to keep yourself nourished so you can stay focussed on your work and clear about your goals. Self-doubt accompanied by fear (concocted by midnight doom-and-gloom thinking), has you feeling unmotivated and doubting whether you deserve the big dreams you have for yourself and your future. I challenge you to defy these late-night thoughts and remember that you are your own worst enemy; the only thing holding you back is you. Your dreams are just as valid as anyone else’s and the sooner you recognize your patterns of self-sabotage, the sooner you can let them go and get on with living a life full of purpose and joy. The hardest part will come when the words or actions of others reinforce your negative self-talk. Learn to walk away. If someone can’t see your worth, let them go.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

A much-needed cleanse is on its way, Leo. It might feel a tad uncomfortable at the time, like your world is being flipped upside down and it’s hard to move with grace and strength, but I encourage you to embrace it. This cleanse will include coming to terms with any delusions you’ve had about certain people, places, and experiences. In other words, get ready for things like: the end of long-term relationships, a sudden change in careers, or finding yourself packing up your belongings to find a new home. Your superpower will be your ability to stay positive and embrace your circumstances. You cannot fight against the tide, so you might as well let the current take you. In the end you will feel as though a weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and you’ll be free to start living your life with more authenticity and joy.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Learn, adapt, pay attention to the details. This month is about small advances made through learning and keen observation, trial and error. If you can infuse everything you’re doing with joy, creativity, spontaneity, and a deep trust of your inner voice, you’ll find this process less painful in the moment and more rewarding in the end. It’s okay that things are moving a little slower right now. It simply gives you more time to iron out the kinks and to ensure that everything is exactly how you envision it to be. Let yourself play with ideas and directions. Take on the role of scientist and analyze the results. If something doesn’t work, all you have to do is adjust your course and approach and try again. Besides, your gut will tell you if things are off or something isn’t right for you. Listen carefully and act accordingly.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Calm and quiet your mind. More than anything, you need moments of quiet, intention filled contemplation. The lack of control you feel in your relationships stems from outdated perceptions and beliefs that you may not be aware you still hold. It’s time to look at the reality of things, to take your ego out of the equation and see circumstances as they really are. Balance comes from seeing the innate reciprocity that exists between all beings. How there is always a give and a take, a yin and yang, darkness and light. In order to understand others, you have to let go of deep seeded prejudices that hold you back from understanding your own life in all its complexities.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The time of sitting idly by and letting people use you as a doormat are over. There’s a shift in the energy and you are ready to let go of the guilt you carry when it comes to setting personal boundaries. You’ve had enough, and you are ready to move on. Be patient with yourself, because even the act of saying “no” could take a lot of effort and drain your energy. Take it slow and celebrate even the smallest of victories. Know that you are setting up new patterns of behaviour that will have a lasting impact on how you operate in the world, the people you surround yourself with, and the situations you find yourself in. Keep reminding yourself that you are not in charge of anyone else’s fate, and you deserve to live life on your own terms. Stop cleaning up everyone else’s mess.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Stay open to possibilities and shine your inner light as bright as you can. Be your weird, freaky self. Ask questions. Be random. Let inspiration come from acts of curiosity and joy. Time is collapsing in on itself, so to speak. Things you have been asking for are finally starting to manifest, but probably not how you thought they would. In fact, the sequence of events that is your life right now might feel chaotic, disjointed, and all over the place. You might feel as though nothing makes sense and that certain things are coming together while others are falling apart. There’s nothing you can do about the falling apart. You just have to let it happen. However, you can control your response by unapologetically walking in your authenticity.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

It’s okay to bumble and fall until we’ve learned our lesson and can finally move on, but I hope you’re ready now. Instead of trying to fix the problem (that isn’t even yours), protect yourself and work to free yourself from the trap of other people’s ignorance, ineptitude, and short sightedness. You gave them a chance, you offered your input, talents, and time, and still things have not changed and are now, in fact, starting to fall apart. Be like water and find the easiest path through this situation. Take care of yourself, your family, and your loved ones and allow the universe to bring you bigger and brighter opportunities.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

March has you seeing the truth about certain people and groups in your life, as well as your role within those dynamics. Don’t let this realization throw you off balance. Instead look at the situation from a detached and non-judgemental state of mind. You are merely being shown where and how to refocus your energy and what kinds of people and situations you need to rid yourself of. So whether you decide to leave your job, stop working with a certain charity, or end a relationship, don’t take the need to do so personally. Instead, bring awareness to the hows and whys of current events and learn from them. What do you truly want in life? Where do you want to direct your energy? Who do you want to align yourself with? These questions will help you stay true to yourself and your deepest aspirations.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Use this (your) month to speak up for yourself with raw and real clarity, knowing that you are supported by the universe in accomplishing those goals that benefit not only yourself, but your community. You have the capacity right now to advance your career, grow your business, and dive deeper into your relationships. And though the ferocity with which you feel things can be overwhelming to others, if you unleash these feelings while holding them in a container of sacredness and unconditional love, it will give those around you permission to feel and heal as well. Trust in your faith in humanity’s ability to grow, change, and evolve. Know that your anger is everyone’s anger and when properly directed it can fuel transformation.
