All Signs

August is a time of preserving and nurturing relationships, partnerships, and alliances. The push to achieve has leveled off, and like the tide receding from the shore, the energy of action and doing has started to ebb. It will be important to solidify loyalties through identifying what values and morals you hold as priority. Let your attention gravitate to those who feel like home, who lift you up and give as much as they receive, and who care about the same things you do. Don’t waste your time with individuals who drain your resources and be discerning about who you let into your sphere. Let August be about community and trust that September will see the tide bring its bounty to the shore.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Allow yourself to be creatively inspired this month, Aries. You are full of visions of the future and pretty much nothing feels impossible. Just make sure to write some of those inspirations down, will you? Otherwise, they’ll get lost in the ether and you’ll find yourself untethered and unsure. Some part of you is still a little afraid of being your full self; you still shy away from compliments and carry resentment about not being recognized. But you’ll let go of that, the Universe is conspiring to trick you into Wholeness. If I were you, I’d try not to take myself too seriously right now. Rather, take yourself along for the ride, make and enact plans for the future, and reflect on who you see yourself becoming.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Your job is to seek and create equilibrium while recognizing where you fit into the group. Wherever you can, bring things back into balance. You can do this by paying attention to the details and doing one thing at a time. Don’t rush or allow yourself or others to cut corners. Instead, find who you work well with, hone your talent and your contribution to the collective, and create quality over quantity. There are many aspects of your life where you are laying a foundation for future growth, so tend to that task with diligence, patience and lots of love. Give yourself time to understand every detail so that you can move forward with confidence and grace.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

You can achieve a lot right now if you remember three things: 1. You are the newbie. You are the greenhorn. You are still figuring things out and learning as you go. Spin this into a positive and learn as much as you can and try to leave your ego at the door. 2. Protect yourself. Set your boundaries and take care of your vulnerable heart. This doesn’t mean shutting down or putting up walls, it means being mindful about who you spend your time with and what you allow in your environment. 3. How you conduct yourself now, will have significant impact on future relationships, projects, and possibilities. Have integrity, be good to your word, and act with the well being of everyone in mind. And, oh yeah, go forth and prosper!

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You have a lot of things on the go, my friend, and that’s awesome, but you need a little bit of a reality check. The fear that is suddenly creeping into your consciousness is related to a need to slow down and take stock. Recognize all the wheels you have in motion and focus your passion only on those that take priority. In social settings, practice humility and allow things to unfold. You don’t have much influence at this time, so you might as well keep your attention inward and stay focussed on your goals. And remember that you are more than just one thing. The reason you have so many wheels in motion is because you are a glorious, multifaceted being! Own it and give things time.   

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

August is about balance and harmony for you, dear Leo. You feel compelled to restore and recalibrate the energies within your relationships, your career and finances, and within body and mind. You might be coming into the month feeling stressed out, overloaded, or overwhelmed, but as the days pass, you’ll find that the best medicine is merely the act of putting one foot in front of the other and doing what you know to do in the moment. Stay active and engaged with projects to help free up stagnant energy and find ways to restore balance. Keep your highest intentions at the heart of everything you do. Nothing in life is isolated, everything is interconnected, so when you have resolved one area of your life, you’ll become hyper aware of another that needs that same mindful attention. Don’t let this process discourage you, the work you do now will being more ease and flow to the rest of your year.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Time to purge and cleanse, dearest Virgo. The burdens you’ve been carrying around are waiting to be released so that you can move on to bigger and brighter things. Your body and mind are craving the sweet extasy that comes with inspiration and new projects/horizons. Not only that, but you are discovering that you’re ready to completely change things up. So, if you’ve been thinking of changing careers, moving to a different country, or anything else that involves a complete overhaul of your life, now is definitely the time. But first, pay attention to what you’ve been carrying that isn’t yours. Do what you can to make peace with it and let it go. Whatever it is, it’s no longer your responsibility. Give it back to whoever owns it and move on. This will create more mental and emotional space for you to enact change and find joy.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You are currently dependant upon a person or situation over which you have little control. You find yourself in the middle of what feels like an unnecessary power struggle, and you’re frustrated and at a loss. The trick here is to recognize the realities of your dependence on the relationship, and instead of pushing against it (allowing your ego to get the better of you), find where and how you can build cooperation and trust. This means acting with grace and staying open and receptive. Be clear with yourself and the universe about what you would like to manifest and use tact when engaging with others in order to make it happen. There is always give and take, ebb and flow, my friend. And if you are honest with yourself, you’ll realize that you can’t accomplish your goals all on your own.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The inner realms are calling you during August, dearest Scorpio. It’s time to daydream and let your heart pull you toward the things that you love. Don’t worry about making significant progress in any area of your life, instead let life flow and do what it does. Others are going to do their best to make you feel guilty for simply being who you are, but remember, this is more a reflection on them that it is you. Let them nitpick and have their opinions, they know nothing about you or what you are dealing with, nor do they understand your bigger picture. So do your best to bring it back to what you love and allow your imagination to wander and explore.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Pessimism does not become you, dear Sag. It’s okay that you’ve kind of gotten lost in the negativity, but now it’s time for a shift. It’s time to remember joy and playfulness, and to send out your divine signal to the universe. Remember who you are at your core: that innocent, spontaneous, pure being that resides deep within you. Let your curiosity take the wheel and don’t be afraid to shine. This is applicable in all areas of your life, whether it be in your relationships, your career, or even in your finances. You’re not one to play by the rule book, so why pretend that you are? Act with pure intentions, and the universe will respond.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

August is about self-reflection for you, Capricorn. Take time to slow down and be honest with yourself about how you are living your life. If things have felt out of control or chaotic, now is your chance to bring back clarity and stability. No matter who you are, what you do, or what kind of relationships you have in your life, how you conduct yourself has an effect on those you care about. Keep asking yourself the deep questions. What do you want? How do you want to live your life? What kind of legacy do you want to leave? And how do you want others to know they are loved by you? These are not easy questions, and they will take some deep digging and inner exploration, but doing so will help to rejuvenate and reinvigorate your heart and mind while filling you with a sense of purpose that you may have thought you had lost.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Let the universe show you how you can adapt and grow this month. There are new possibilities on the horizon, but they won’t manifest until you recognize those behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes that need to change. Don’t let this be a blow to your self-esteem, my friend. You haven’t done anything wrong. This is merely part of the natural cycle of your life and should be embraced with enthusiasm. You are leveling up and stepping into a new phase, so allow yourself to shine a light on all the “dark” places within and ask yourself some serious questions. Get input from those you trust and educate yourself about current trends an innovations in your field.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Your year started off as a wild ride filled with changes and new opportunities, and now that energy has died down and leveled off and it’s left you feeling a little lost. Don’t worry, my dear, it’ll all be okay. Don’t succumb to confusion, you are not lost and you haven’t done anything wrong. Instead, keep weaving your dreams while focussing on your place and story within existence. Take time in nature, do the things that bring you joy, and be intentional in every act. Remember that just a little while ago you felt like you were being taken off course and getting lost in how things are “supposed” to be done. Now is your chance to bring it back to your original intention and what you know deep within.
