All Signs

Walk with gentleness and empathy. Seek to understand situations from the others’ point of view. Establish balance by working to integrate all aspects of the Self. This means loving the dark as much as the light and focusing on wholeness, healing, and finding common ground. This is what May is bringing our way, my friends. It’s time to take a breath, get off our high horse, check our privilege, and be present and active for the common good of all. This doesn’t mean that we compromise our values or allow ourselves to get pushed off course by the needs or demands of others. It just means that we take a gentle and compassionate approach to our goals. Imagine yourself as the wind, able to shape landscapes over millennia, rather than the chisel that digs without compromise or empathy. We may not see immediate results, but our impact will be further reaching and more impactful.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

This month you are invited to walk through life as though each step is a prayer. This means being mindful and full of intention. Seek to find clarity about your goals, morals, and values. When challenges arise – of any kind – ask yourself, “what response will best serve the greater good of all involved?” It might feel like the universe is throwing speed bumps in your path just for the fun of it, but you know in your heart-of-hearts that they are there because some part of you asked for change and growth. Some part of you needs and requires them and your best response is to act with integrity and trust that the universe is supporting you. Your inner calls for change, abundance, and ease are being answered. All you have to do is be willing to keep going and see this current path is leading you.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Don’t believe the stories your mind is telling you this month. The worry, stress, and anxiety are not necessary, and somewhere deep inside you already know this. However, it looks like you’ll need a little nudge to help you come out of your current spiral, so the universe might have to intervene with a wake-up call. Remember, play, spontaneity, and nurturing are the goal. Anger, resentment, and the power play of the ego do nothing to serve your highest potential. You are invited to step into a gratitude practice. Focus on what you are thankful for, what you already have in abundance, and the opportunities that have come your way. Doing so will help you feel more fulfilled and bring more of what your heart longs for into your life.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Wherever you feel unsure, confused, or even slightly cautious, take the time you need to stop and take a closer look at the details. This means paying attention to the fine print in documents, the words and actions of those around you, and to your own motivations and responses. You have big dreams and aspirations that stem from childhood imaginings and the longing of your heart. These dreams are important and must not be lost in your pursuit of success. When they get left behind, that’s when you experience the confusion mentioned above. I invite you to go back to your original plans, to look at the big picture, and to scrutinize each step of each process to ensure that you are laying a solid foundation and that everything feels in alignment with your vision. Taking this time now will mean fewer complications and wrong turns down the road and will help you come back to a sense of strength and energized determination.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

This month the universe is asking you to clear all unnecessary tasks, projects, and goals from your to-do list. Think of it as a very necessary spring cleaning for body, mind, and soul. Overextending or over obligating yourself will only serve to take you off track and make you feel as though you are a rudderless vessel on high seas. Go back to the drawing board. Highlight what is important and get rid of the rest. The more focus you have with your core goals, the more success you will achieve. Now is also the time to ask for help. You might want to think you can achieve your goals all on your own, but the reality is that everyone, at some point, needs the advice, assistance, and guidance of those who have gone before us. So, swallow your pride and reach out to those who can help take some of the weight off your shoulders. Doing so doesn’t diminish your value or the hard work you have put in.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Ok, Leo. May is about taking action, but not in the way you might think. You’ve been dealt a few challenges, and you might be inclined to play the victim, throw up your hands, and tell yourself that you have no control over the situation. However, the universe is asking you to look deeper. Remove your ego from the equation and take time for self-reflection. What’s happening right now is the result of months of small actions, little conversations, and seemingly insignificant interactions. In order to bring things back into balance it will be important to meet each challenge head on, act with integrity and compassion, do your best to remove your ego (how you feel about the situation), and stay grounded in your deepest truth. By doing so, you can make this period a little rough patch instead of a drawn-out saga. What’s waiting for you on the other side is well worth the emotional and mental work, so stay strong and shine your light!

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

It’s time to boldly go where you have never gone before, my friend. Burst onto the scene, make the changes that need to be made, and act from your will/intent with full vigour and tenacity. In simple terms, this is a great month to change careers, get out of that stagnant relationship, to start that business, or find that new home. The one thing you may need to keep in check is your how you direct this fierce energy that is moving through you. Keep your focus on what brings you joy, what is in your highest good, and what brings you the most sense of fulfilment. You may be required to make some sacrifices in order to attain your end goal, but keep in mind that other people are not your enemy in this process. Tenacity is a valuable trait but be careful not to use other people as a doormat as you take steps to advance yourself and your dreams.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

The universe is working to get you back on track, dear Libra. You’re not quite seeing things right; you’ve got filters over your perception that are making life a little difficult and they need to be stripped so you can move forward and find true harmony. What this means is that May is about introspection; it’s time to take a closer look at your motivations, desires, and goals from a place of equanimity. Maintain a detached, non-judgemental awareness and use others as your sounding board while also taking the time to listen to and absorb their experiences and the advice they offer. Let these interactions be the vehicle for spiritual fulfilment that you so need at this time. And let the shedding of your delusions be akin to the first rains that clear the detritus and debris from clogged waterways.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Your desire to create is akin to the power of water through a narrow gorge, my dear Scorpio. Let this month be about play, innocence, and curiosity. Stay open to new ideas, let yourself explore, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. When things feel stagnant or caught in a loop of repetition, invite yourself to try and look at things with the eyes of a child. Pretend you have never been here before, that you’ve never experienced the situation or challenge you are faced with and then see what happens. Use the intensity that you feel in yourself and in the world around you as a catalyst for creation. How can you add colour, texture, nuance? How can you contribute to the overall orchestra and make it more fun, more alive, and full of childlike wonder? Trust me, this will be like healing balm to your heart.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

It’s time to fully embrace the leader within you. Harness the multifaceted knowing you carry, drawing upon all aspects of your being to recruit others to your cause and carve a path forward. Try to narrow down your goals and fine tune your focus. Having too many projects on the go will only serve as a distraction and cause you to feel scattered and frustrated. Plus, doing so will only confuse those who are following your lead. Be decisive, but compassionate. Think of the good of the whole and be realistic when it comes to the capacity of others to take on tasks or step into new roles. Designate tasks to those whose talents best serve the moment and relieve yourself of some of the burden. Let this month be about doing and accomplishing. You’ve got this.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Have the courage to see things for what they really are this month. You’ll need to look beneath the surface and weigh the pros and cons of each situation and interaction to find a clear path forward because not everything is as it appears. This need for this scrutiny arises out of the fact that you have too much on your plate. There are multiple things demanding your attention, and not all of them are deserving of it, and may even serve only as distractions. Get back to the core of the issue and be willing to call a spade a spade when necessary. This is also true of your own actions and motivations. What you think you want and what you actually need are two different things, so train your mind to see the difference and act accordingly.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Any feelings of fear, negativity, or self doubt stem from the fact that you believe yourself to be all alone in your current endeavours. It’s time to see where you fit into the collective, what your role is, and how you can best contribute to the overall good. This means being very aware of what you want to create, what you value in life at this time, and who you want to collaborate or align with. Be honest with yourself. Is it appropriate for you to take the lead in this situation, or is someone else better fitted to that role? Where and how you fit is not a reflection of your worth. By engaging, in whatever capacity, with groups that share your vision, morals, and goals you find your sense of purpose and you allow your fears and anxieties dissipate.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

When stress and anxiety threaten to take hold, tune into what you are passionate about and allow that passion to act as a diversion. Squirrel! Though it might seem like things are beyond your control, or that you have bitten off more than you can chew, you will find success if you surrender. Go with the flow. Balance out the feminine and masculine aspects of yourself; recognize when you are being called to act with creativity and spontaneity, and when the moment calls for discernment and focus. You’ve got the tools at your disposal – you already know how to be fluid and how to adapt – so put those tools to good use. Don’t let the world, or your mind, tell you that you don’t have what it takes to achieve your goals. Keep focused on what lights you up and makes you feel alive and full of purpose. Distract your mind by bringing your awareness back into your body.
