All Signs

The universe is vast and full of endless possibilities. What we experience here on earth is but a molecule on the tip of a needle compared to the vast unknown. To assume that we “know” anything only limits our potential and keeps us in the mundane. As Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.” September is our collective invitation to let our imaginations roam, to let go of our assumptions about how the world “is” and stay curious to what “could be”. No dream is too small, no goal is unachievable. Be wild, spontaneous, and open your heart to adventure. And most importantly, get out of your head and open your heart to the expansiveness of the All that Is.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

September sees you deepening into the knowledge that you don’t have to care what other people think. This is part of a growth process that has been taking place within you for quite some time, and though you might have thought you had already achieved that goal, there are still a few lessons to be learned. No one has the right to tell you how to be, how to feel, or what you should do with your life. You’ve always known this with your logical mind, but until now it has never really settled into your bones as a lived experience. There is no anger required; no lashback or revenge for past injustices. Just open yourself to the quiet, steady knowing that you can now live your life on your own terms and do what brings you joy. So go forth and live, my friend!

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Life is going to provide you with plenty of lessons in compassion, dear Taurus. I know you are not a cold and unfeeling person, it just comes across that way sometimes. Often interactions leave you wondering why your generosity was ill received or misunderstood. This is because you have a hard time empathising with others’ circumstances, feelings and emotions. You just do what seems logical. But as the month goes by, you’ll encounter many situations in which you’ll be triggered into understanding how compassion and empathy can deepen the human experience. This will add layers you had previously not allowed yourself to see. I invite you to revel in this new information, my friend. To indulge in new experiences of the heart and let it expand in ways that it has never had a chance to.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

I understand, it can be hard to like people sometimes. It seems like every day we, as a species, commit some new atrocity against our own and this makes it difficult to trust each other. However, I invite you to be open to trusting once again. It’s true that we can achieve far greater things together than we can alone, especially if we want to change our collective trajectory and bring about healing. There are kindred spirits out there that are on the same wavelength as you. People with whom you can feel at home, drop your masks, and connect in deep, heartfelt ways. Cultivating these connections can help you build your dreams and support others in building theirs.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You are uniquely designed to move through emotion and feeling with far more capacity than almost any other sign, my friend. If there is something to be felt, you will feel it. And I know this can be a curse at times (e.g., full moon), but it is also a blessing. I say this so that you can carry it with you this month. Let the sorrow that sits at the back of your throat move. Let it flow through you like a waterfall falls from the mountaintop to the pool below. You don’t have to understand it or analyse it, your only job is to let it move. You are doing important work for the rest of us, as well as for yourself. For once the sorrow has moved a calm, beautiful clarity will be left in its place. You are acting as a conduit for all the sorrow held in humanity to be released. But once again, I invite you to see this not as a burden or a curse, but as a blessing and a gift. Let it feed and inform your creative process and teach you about your own capacity as a human being.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Your energy and heart shine in all directions this month, dearest Leo. Flashes of insight are best curated through random acts of playfulness. Summer may be coming to a close, but it’s not over yet. How many ways can you get out there and do things that bring you and your loved ones joy? Try not to worry about the long term and the lists, the shoulds and musts. Instead, let your heart be your guide, dance as much as possible, and let tomorrow be tomorrow’s problem. The sillier and the more spontaneous the activity, the better. Others will be attracted to your light, your smile, and your infectious laugh and positive energy. Let them show you their appreciation and love as you shower them with your own.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

September will likely see you wanting to nest and rest. To pick your harvest from your garden and can and preserve for the winter. Family life will become important once again, spending quality time with those you care about and nurturing relationships that matter. No matter what it looks like in your world, the underlying energy is one of care and attention to home and family, and to the traditions that hold these units together. Doing so will bring you a sense of abundance and emotional and spiritual wealth. This will allow you to feel safe, grounded, and ready for what the rest of the year has in store. Oh, and don’t forget to take care of yourself as well. You deserve to nurture your body, heart, and mind, as much as you take care of others.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Expect to feel rejuvenated and refreshed throughout this month, dear Libra! Chances are you are sick of sitting still, so get out there and celebrate. Let go of everything that has felt heavy or stagnant. Let your social self shine by sharing your stories, your passions, and doing things that feel uplifting. Your body and mind want to be active and engaged, so take yourself on walks, dance around in your living room or find places where you can let loose on the dance floor. Drink plenty of water, or do yourself a favour and head to your closest lake or beach and at least dip your toes in and splash some of that cooling liquid on your face. It’s okay to let go of the past and step into a new phase. No need for guilt or regret. Instead, celebrate that you made it through whatever trying situation you’ve been dealing with and allow yourself to move on.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Holding on to the past will no longer serve you, my friend. September asks you to nurture yourself, your body, and your mind while practicing letting go. There are only so many ways we can analyze a situation before it becomes merely an endless loop of regret, anger, and depression. At some point, we have to decide that we are ready to move on. So do things that bring you comfort, eat healthy and nurturing foods, and move your body around. Let this be the month where you turn into the phoenix and rise from the ashes. You are not betraying yourself by saying goodbye to the past; you know you’ve done the hard work. You are allowed to be happy, you are allowed to be free, and you are allowed to build a life that is filled with meaning, joy, and connection.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

I know you’re more of a private person than you like to lead other people to believe, but your heart is longing for connection, dear Sag. It’s not enough to share your achievements, beliefs or philosophies. Sometimes we need to share our fears, doubts, and pain as well. Doing so can help us process what has happened and make sense of it all. And this month, despite your every effort, you are full of the feels. This doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with you, rather it simply makes you human like the rest of us. Just because there are a lot of emotions rising to the surface right now, doesn’t mean they will hang around forever. Let them move through you by sharing with those you feel safe with and watch how you gain valuable perspective from those who care about you.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Remember the song “We are the World” by USA for Africa in the 80’s? If I were you, I’d go listen to it and then adopt it as your mantra for September. You want to give back, you want to help the world be a better place, and you have ideas about how to do so. So, what’s stopping you? You don’t need to take one some major project or even alter your life in any significant way. You can simply listen to your heart and do the small things that are accessible to you in this now. Maybe this means cultivating relationships that have lapsed. Maybe it means donating to your local food bank. Maybe it means joining a fundraiser in your community. Or maybe you have been thinking of a project that you feel could change people’s lives. Whatever it is, get out there and do it. You’ll be so glad you did.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Getting creative will give you access to knew levels of understanding about yourself and the world this month, Aquarius. Your brain wants to create new pathways through problem solving and creative flow. You know there is something you’re not quite comprehending, and it’s driving you a little mad. Maybe it’s even making you feel stuck, or worse, useless and ineffective. Whatever the case may be, find ways to stimulate mind and body through artistic endeavours. This could look like taking on a new project, changing up your career, or simply laying pen or brush to paper. It doesn’t matter, you just need the challenge. But don’t forget to allow this to be a teaching moment. Keep that self-assessment radar active in everything you do. What are you coming to understand about yourself? What are your faults? What are your positive qualities? What makes you tick, and what are your passions? The more you explore, the more you set yourself up for greatness throughout the rest of the year.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Inspire others by breaking the mold, dear fishy! You do not have to do it the same way others have done it. In fact, that is sooo boring! Let yourself innovate, explore, and be chaotic. Your fear that others won’t like you if the see who you actually are is part of the social conditioning that has kept you small your whole life. Refuse to go along with the norm, don’t be afraid to be loud, and most of all, allow yourself to have fun in the process. By the way, donning different masks to get your point across is NOT succumbing to conditioning. Think of yourself as an actor who can play many roles, wear many costumes, and still share the story that fills you with passion. By allowing yourself to be bold you attract the right people and repel the ones who will only try to stuff you back in your box. So go forth and be weird, my friend!
