All Signs

Shine a light into all the dark places, my friends. September is about bringing awareness to that which is hidden, all the things we don’t allow ourselves to see. This applies both inwardly and outwardly, it is both self-reflection and outward observation. This kind of work means that, for some of us, it will feel like our lives are a bit out of our control. External influences are trying to sway us in this direction or that; everybody has an opinion and there is no ease in growth and expansion. It’ll be important to stay true to our inner knowing and our goals. To keep going and adapt to circumstances as best as we can. One powerful tool we have at our disposal is the mind. If we can convince the mind to let go of past disappointment and instead turn its attention to creating something new our general sense of angst and anxiety will lift and we will have more energy to bust through patterns that cause us to personally, and collectively, hold ourselves back.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

It’s time to get very mindful about how you conduct yourself in your daily life. What energy do you bring to the table, where do your loyalties lie, and where and how do you want to create growth? Take some time to take stock of your talents, your strengths, and your weaknesses, and identify where you want to grow and change. As the saying goes: There is no time like the present. Start creating the reality you want by 1. Taking baby steps that feel manageable, 2. Recognizing and valuing what you have to contribute, and 3. Identifying who, and what, deserves your attention and loyalty. Try to stay focussed and move with deliberate intention and a fierce belief in yourself. Make the changes you need to make, not from reaction, but intention. You’ve got this.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

If you’re wondering what the heck is going on right now, think of yourself as a snake shedding its skin. Like the snake, you are experiencing a shedding, a letting go, a falling away. You’re noticing how much you’ve changed and that you don’t really fit into the same spaces or social groups that you used to. You feel out of place, and a little isolated. To help yourself through this process, I suggest trying to live and act from an open heart. You can’t see the outcome quite yet, so why even try? Stay spontaneous, stay in the moment, act with sincerity and curiosity. When you notice your defences go up, or if fear creeps into your thinking, try to trust the process and identify something beautiful or playful in that circumstance or moment. This won’t last forever and what awaits you on the other side is the deeper, more heartfelt connection that you’ve been longing for.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

September would be a great month for you to do your version of a vision board. You are like a powerful radio station, broadcasting your energy signature on all frequencies. This means that now is the time to dream, create, cultivate connections, and dance your vision into reality. What you manifest now will have a lasting impact in your life and any connections you make will prove the test of time. Make sure to keep your heart open and your curiosity turned on high. Stay as receptive as you are projective. Learn all you can about the resources that are available to you, the people that are worth reaching out to, and become absorbed in your craft, perfecting it with love and attention. This month is going to be a busy one, but it will be worth it.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Yup, there are a few hiccoughs in your plan, but that’s ok. Trust your intuition and step into your own knowing by allowing yourself to see any delusions you’ve been hiding behind. It’s not that your dream isn’t worthy, it’s not that you should give up and try something different, it’s just that you need to become practical about the path forward, i.e. what can you accomplish, vs what you want to achieve, and in what timeframe you can actually make it all come together. But don’t rely only on your thinking mind to determine the answers to these questions. Your gut knows far better than your logic. What do you feel is right? What direction do you feel to move in? If you were to let go of all expectations of yourself, let go of the perfectionism and the shame, what would compel you? What would feel right in this moment?

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

This month finds you in a bit of a power struggle somewhere in your life. Unfortunately, there is also a mutual dependence in this relationship which means that you’re finding it very hard to move forward. Reach out to others who can support you during this time and do what you must in order to keep things rolling. If this means playing nice, or refusing to engage, then do it. Stay true to your vision as best you can. Only by staying focused on the purity of the original intention will you not only stay sane, but also find the right path to clarity and freedom. Just remember that there are others out there who you could align with and who could help you find a solution to your current situation. You are not alone.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Sudden adventure is on the horizon, my friend. This is due to the fact that you have decided (finally) to step into a leadership role and recognize the skills you bring to the table. This internal breakthrough has created space for new and exciting possibilities. You’ve been asking for things to shift, so don’t be surprised when they do so faster than you expected. Being on an adventure means that you must be able to adapt to new circumstances, stay curious in order to solve problems, and live in the moment without a hidden agenda or expectations about the outcome. Trust your instincts, harness the talents of others and allow them to shine, and delegate tasks that no longer deserve your attention. You are allowed to focus on the big picture now. You are allowed to embrace your long-term goals.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

This month is all about community. If you feel like you don’t have community, seek it out. If you have a good circle around you, look at where you fit within that circle. How do you contribute to the whole, and what do you bring to the table that can benefit others? Do your best to move with grace; trust your intuition and your ability to see what lies ahead. Utilize these powers to help you move forward with your goals and ambitions, relying on the talented folks within your community to help you manifest and bring to fruition those aspirations that have sat dormant within you. You cannot do this alone, you need the resources, creativity, and shared intent that others provide.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

September brings with it a renewed sense of action, dearest Scorpio. It’s time to come to terms with the fact that the only one holding you back, is you. You have all the resources you need to move forward, you just need to change your perspective. Take some time to rewrite the doom scenarios in your head. This might best be done by sharing your dreams and ambitions with those who care about you and getting their opinions. You’ll note that they don’t see the same restrictions and barriers between you and your goals that you have come to believe exist, and they may even have some very practical suggestions about how you could proceed. The most important thing is to act, to do what you know to do in each moment, and trust that the negative story you have on repeat is merely your ego’s fear of the unknown.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Have patience with your own unfolding. If you feel stuck, take a look in the proverbial mirror. Learn to recognize where you act from your truth and in what circumstances you put on a mask for yourself and others. I know it’s hard, but you would benefit from slowing things down and allowing yourself to cocoon. Take care of your body and mind so that you can come to a place of equilibrium, where you are able to respond to the world from intention instead of reaction. Notice how you feel, give yourself space to accept those feelings without judgement, but try not to get sucked into feelings of spite, anger, resentment, or even despair. What you are working toward will eventually manifest, it’s just going to take a little more time than you expected. Try to be at peace with where you are now.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Utilize your powers of observation, Capricorn. Adjust the lens between micro and macro vision, allowing yourself to see both the big picture and the smallest of details. Learn what you can, notice what needs to change, what needs to be eliminated, and where growth can occur. In each observation, align with the highest good of all involved, removing your ego from the equation and doing your best to steer clear of any outside distortion, such as the ulterior motives of others. Once you have done this, don’t keep what you have learned to yourself. Instead, share it with those who have the power to help you affect change. In this way you help cultivate community and common purpose and allow yourself to step fully into the leadership role you find yourself in.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Seek out harmony between all parties. If you want your current situation or project to stay strong and not fizzle out, you’ll need to recognize that you are not alone. Your position within the group means that you carry a certain amount of responsibility on your shoulders. Others rely on you to stay on track, to keep to the overall vision, and to act with their best interests at heart when you make decisions. Cultivating harmony means that everyone feels seen and heard, that they feel safe and like they have a purpose, so seek out the quiet ones in the back and let them share their thoughts and ideas. Bring them completely on board by showing them that they matter. In this way you’ll be able to move forward at a steady, grounded pace and ensure that whatever you are creating lasts well into the future.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

It’s okay to feel tired. It’s okay to acknowledge that you are exhausted and that you need to retreat and rest. Try not to get sucked into a negative mindset as you deal with the reality that the good you’ve been working to create seems suddenly put on hold or suppressed by outside voices/influences. You merely need to recharge, and the universe is giving you the opportunity to do so. Take some time in nature and cultivate a meditation practice. Learn, once again, to listen to your intuition instead of the running dialogue of your mind. You have not, in fact, done anything wrong. Spirit is calling you to listen inwardly so you can find energy and inspiration to move forward in new and more aligned ways.
