All Signs

February will bring an inner push to cleanse our hearts and minds of negativity, sorrow, and helplessness. This will be a very personal journey, but also a collective one. We’re tired of the same old story, of believing that the future can hold nothing positive and that we are powerless to create something beautiful and long lasting. The universe is inviting us to step outside of our comfort zones and instead of othering people and things we don’t understand, dedicating ourselves to learning, absorbing, and finding mutual humanity and common ground. This could look like travelling to somewhere new, it could look like learning a new language, or expanding our knowledge by reading, having conversations, or simply staying open. No matter what, February is movement and motion, it is thinking with our hearts and not our heads, and most importantly, it is about refusing to succumb to the belief that all is lost.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Don’t look to the past, dear Aries. Allow yourself the excitement of dreaming of the future. New ideas abound and you are eager to set new plans in motion. Try not to get frustrated when people don’t understand your vision or if things aren’t progressing as fast as you want them to. Instead, try to remember to have compassion for yourself and those around you. Sometimes it is more effective to be gentle and allow things to unfold instead of pushing or forcing. The quiet pause that can happen between bouts of activity can be the most potent and powerful. It’s there that we can hear our deeper knowing, establish common ground, and refine our intentions. Keep your eyes lifted, your heart open, and move with the purpose that comes with knowing you are on the right path.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

It’s time to let go of control. You never really had it to begin with, and holding on is only draining your energy and taking your attention away from things that matter. Wherever you feel frustrated with people or circumstances, allow yourself to walk away. Let them figure it out themselves, and free yourself and your energy from having to monitor and put yourself second as you repair any damage they may have done. Bring your focus back to your own health and wellness. Indulge in self-care activities such as yoga and meditation, or perhaps book yourself a trip to somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit. Let February be about filling your own cup so you can meet the rest of the year feeling renewed, rejuvenated, and refreshed.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

This month will bring you a sense of release, dear Gemini. Obstacles you’ve been facing, doors that seemed forever shut, and complications that have been popping up out of nowhere, are no longer going to be an issue. You are ready to build, you are primed for moving forward, and you feel in alignment with your goals and aspirations. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and watch how things unfold with more ease. That being said, your life may have moments of chaos and overwhelm, but that’s the nature of the beast when we hit the ground running. Don’t worry about it for now, those moments will come and go, and you’ll have time to iron out the details later on. Just let yourself begin while enjoying the fact that any feelings of stagnation have finally lifted.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Comparison is the thief of joy, my friend. If you keep comparing yourself to others, you’ll lose your enthusiasm for the journey you are on. You have the ability to achieve so much this month; to realize dreams, to forge ahead with ideas, and to build your sense of self-worth. When talking with others allow yourself to admire what they have achieved for themselves, but do your best to remember that they also had a starting point and that growth is not linear, nor is it the same for any two individuals. If an idea sounds useful to your path, write it down, investigate and learn, but allow yourself to start where you are. The most successful people achieve their goals one step at a time while keeping their eyes on the future. Life isn’t about rushing the process; it’s about experiencing the journey along the way.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You might have to wait a little longer than you anticipated, dearest Leo. Whatever it is, whatever you’ve been working on or waiting for, it isn’t quite ready to come to fruition. I hope you can hear me when I say that this is not a bad thing. For whatever reason it’s been postponed, but that will just make the reward all the sweeter when it finally arrives. So maybe meet life with the same attitude. What can you put off until later so you can more fully enjoy the moment? This is an act of surrender that allows for a pause, a breath, a moment to reorient and realign. Often, this simple act of humble waiting can create openings that we didn’t think were possible. So stay open to magic, don’t rush the process, and know that all your hard work will pay off in the end.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Ok, time to let go of all the seriousness and heaviness for a while, my friend. Let yourself celebrate your wins and cultivate more joy. Allow yourself to play, dance, laugh, and be spontaneous. Take in a show, travel, and hang out with friends. Instead of dwelling on what comes next and what you haven’t yet accomplished, allow yourself to revel in what you have achieved. Write it down, share with others, and be proud of yourself! If inviting this attention feels difficult, then that’s all the more reason for you to try. Consider this: how can magic happen if you’re always so focussed on the next thing on the list? Take a moment to lift your gaze, let others appreciate you and give you their love, and let the power of play infuse your subconscious mind.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Where are you willing to compromise, Libra? I know you are probably answering that question with “I already compromise all the time!”, but I beg to differ. Some parts of you are being a stick-in-the-mud, and if you want to know which parts, just identify where you feel disappointment. Plans not working out the way you wanted? People not acting the way you think they should, or doing what you expect of them? I invite you to look at your role in each scenario. There is no blame here, and you do not need to beat yourself up. All that is required is compassion, for yourself and for others. The universe is asking you to look at the situation for what it is, instead of what you think it should be. By giving a little, you get a little, and maybe, just maybe, things will work out better than you anticipated because you did.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Did you grow up having to monitor everyone around you in order to stay safe? If not, do you find that you are constantly predicting others’ feelings and emotions anyway? Yup, take a deep breath, my friend. You don’t need to do that anymore. You are allowed to gather that energy inward and use it for your own benefit now. You don’t need to be on high alert, and you don’t need to emotionally regulate friends and loved ones. They can do that themselves. This month the universe is inviting you to take it all back. Gather your energy, allow yourself to rest, and feel into your own being to explore your inner depths; your dreams and aspirations. Practice following your intuition toward joy. And might I suggest you get out into the land somehow. Sit with your back against a tree and let it take away the heaviness and the fatigue.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

To invite in abundance, you need to come to new understandings about your own creative process, whatever that looks like. Maybe you need to let go of what others think you should be creating, how you should “be”, or even how your time is spent. Maybe you have restricted yourself to one type of creative endeavour because you are afraid of stepping outside of your comfort zone. Whatever the reason, the universe would like to bring you abundance (what does abundance look like to you?), and the path to accessing that abundance is through allowing your tenacious spirit free reign. It’s okay if it looks chaotic to others, their opinions are not your concern. The only thing you need to be worried about is having fun with your own creative process.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Try not to allow yourself to be pulled into petty conversations or debates this month, dear Capricorn. Doing so will only distract you from what is really important and cause you to feel off balance emotionally and energetically. February is about creating equilibrium, so do your best to cultivate a positive mindset, remember that other’s opinions are not your problem, and seek out activities that bring you peace and calm your mind. Allow your emotions to move and flow, but remember they are not you. The eternal you exists behind your emotions and your ego. It is the aspect Self that is able to navigate life with a deeper sense of purpose and inner trust. Practice getting out of your mind and into your body.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Much of your life will feel like it has ground to a halt this month. Your energy will feel low, your mind may feel foggy, and you might be experiencing a general lack of enthusiasm. This is not a bad thing, though. You’ve been pushing yourself pretty hard over the last few months, and February marks a time of needing to slow things down. Try not to succumb to feelings of guilt for not being able to produce the way you normally do. You have nothing to feel guilty about, your body and mind simply need a bit of a break. Perhaps think of your subconscious mind as being akin to a wetland; a natural filtration centre. Perhaps all the ideas that have been moving through you and all the tasks you have been working so hard to achieve need time to filter through your subconscious so that the clear and truly in-alignment ones can be released downstream to flourish and nurture your future.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Your creative and logical aspects are working to come into balance with each other this month. This will allow you to dance between dream and reality with more ease. As someone who can get lost in fantasy this will feel refreshing. It will give you a chance to tackle practical tasks that usually give you anxiety, while still finding time to express yourself creatively. Don’t forget to share the ideas and knowings that come up for you during the month. There are others who may be able to contribute to your goals, or act as sounding boards to help validate your ideas and the path that you are on. Sharing is also a way in which the universe is able to bring you the kindred spirit you seek and create the community you long for.
