Horoscopes for May 2024

All Signs

Take control of the changes you want to see in your life. It’s time to set boundaries, own what is right for you, your goals, and your personal well-being. Don’t be afraid to shake things up or stir the pot. This intention also means that it’s time to shed what isn’t ours, what no longer serves, or what simply does not apply to our lives anymore. Only through this shedding can we embrace what is to come, make space for what we long for, and create new modalities and ways of being. So don’t let societal norms or familial patterns dictate how you approach your life right now. Instead, identify limiting beliefs and behaviours and make a conscious decision to grow, heal, adapt, and forge your own path. One that is more in line with your inner longing and deepest desires. Fully embrace the knowing that you are the creator of your own reality.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

The merry old month of May is going to see you experiencing a kind of release, a sense that you have been freed from the psychological shackles that have been holding you back. Now is your chance to really and truly leave the past behind, lead with love, and move forward with the innocent and pure eyes of hope. Trust your inner “true north”, your sense of right and wrong, of core truth. Follow what feels good to your heart and soul and allow yourself to blossom in whatever direction calls to you. In practical terms, this means that you now have the capacity to start that new project, take that new position, or end self-destructive patterning by letting go of past mindsets and perceptions that no longer serve you. Every decision is a new one, every road is a new adventure, and you are travelling on a path to prosperity through the calling of your deepest desires.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

This month is about stepping into your own wisdom and surrendering with grace and humility to the big picture. Things may feel a little uncertain; it may be that you are not entirely sure what direction you should be going in or how your plans will unfold, but this is as it should be. There is a greater logic at work and there are opportunities on the horizon that you can’t quite see yet. But you feel filled with gratitude for each moment and each interaction, knowing that these encounters and experiences are doorways that lead to future opportunities. The best thing you can do is stay in the moment, practice patience, and trust that you are on the right path. When making decisions, use intuition and logic to follow the path of least resistance.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

This month, it’s as if you are being guided by your higher self. You can’t quite explain why you feel to move in certain directions, or why you feel certain ways, but you just know that it feels right. There’s this sensation that you’ve been launched from a catapult and there is no turning back. All you can do is learn to fly and embrace where and how you land. However, this feeling is supported, or held, by a belief in your own abilities, in the trajectory of your flight, and in the fact that you are able to identify and break down any limiting beliefs and behaviours that have previously held you back. In other words, you have no illusions about who you are and what you are capable of. At the same time, you have no fear of confronting those illusions. You are willing and ready to grow, change, and embrace the new.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

The universe, and your higher self, are conspiring to boost your self-confidence. You may find yourself surrounded by people who recognize your talents and lift you up. They may offer support or open doors to new possibilities. Or they may just show you that they are willing to stand with you and help you remember that you are in harmony with your path. One of the keys to supporting yourself on this journey is to pay attention to your patterns, behaviours, and decisions. By adhering to your values and doing what you know is right in each moment, you create new pathways of self-trust in body and in mind. And when you slip up, when you make those decisions that you know are not in your highest good, don’t beat yourself up. Instead, trust that you are on a learning path and that you are actually in harmony with the big picture of your life. Part of learning to trust yourself is to trust that when you slip and fall you have the capacity to get back up again.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Ok, my friend. Where have you been feeling stagnant in your life? Where are you bored, where are you unsatisfied, where do you long for change? This rut you are stuck in needs to be climbed out of, and the only way to do that is through coming back to your centre, taking charge of your life, and allowing yourself to be guided by play. You are the creator of your own reality. In each moment you have a choice: follow joy, or stay stuck in misery. Start small. Do the little things that make your heart feel a little more fulfilled, a little more joyous, a little more playful. If it feels like drudgery, gently set it aside and ask yourself: how can I bring more play into this moment? Build your own utopia, and do so unapologetically. Do so with intention, with love, and with determination. And then trust. Before too long, things will shift and that stagnation you were experiencing will feel like a distant memory.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

There’s a lot going on for you this month, dear Virgo. On one hand you’re pulled to slow down, to tune back into what it is you dream for your future and realign yourself with that intention. On the other hand, you’ll start to see that in order to achieve that dream, you are going to need to rally support from individuals and groups who share your vision. Take time to step back, pause, and only move forward with what is absolutely necessary at this time. You need perspective, you need to realign with your intentions and deep inner longing, and you need to assess who you want to bring on board or partner with in order to achieve your goals. Perhaps keep a dream journal so you can learn from the stories of your subconscious because it’s doing it’s best to keep you on the path of greatest joy and fulfilment.  

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

The path forward calls for a slow and steady pace. Trust your intuition, stay open to signals and signs from other people, the world, and the universe. When you feel the need to retreat or tread water, listen to that knowing. And when you feel to advance, do so with mindfulness and care. There is no quick fix to any situation this month, and that’s because your focus needs to stay on building a strong foundation for your goals. Keep asking yourself, “What am I building, and why? What is my long-term objective? And what needs to be in place for that objective to come to fruition with strength and integrity?” You have the ability right now to see through false pretenses and ulterior motives, even your own. Use this power to guide your actions. Don’t align yourself with people who don’t have your best interest in mind or whose motives feel anything less that altruistic. And remember: keep it small, keep it simple.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The fear you are experiencing about the changes you know you need to make in your life is only natural, but it is not the truth of the story. This fear is superficial. It is signalling you to bring your attention and awareness back to your strengths and to mine your heart, mind, and body for the hidden gems that lie waiting for you to nurture them. Remember that whatever path you are on right now, whatever goal you have set for yourself, you are in it for the long haul. It will take time and fortitude to see it to fruition. In the meantime, celebrate your unique gifts and talents as well as the fact that you have finally decided to embark on this new journey at all. You have kept these gifts and talents secret for too long, they need to see the light of day so that others may benefit from them and celebrate them with you.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You have considerable influence on those in your sphere these days. They listen to your council and find themselves loyal to your cause. These people are attracted to you because you hold open a gateway to aspects of themselves, and to life, that they normally don’t allow themselves to see. Through joy and playfulness and a refusal to take the state of the world too seriously, you encourage others to cultivate the same in their own lives; to find unity through shared appreciation of the beauty in the world. So this might mean making social media videos that depict the joy and fun you see in the world around you. It might mean simply going on more adventures and inviting others to join you. It might mean bringing aspects of play into your workplace as a team-building exercise. Whatever it is, remember that you are holding open the door to a more joy-filled human experience for yourself and those around you.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Take charge and allow yourself to step into a leadership role, my friend. Shine with grace, love, and compassion, but shine nonetheless. If you can embrace this role and allow yourself to speak your mind and take control of the situation, the decay that you see festering from its core will be put in check. Just remember to keep an open mind and allow for learning to take place. This is new territory and though you have many great ideas that you know need to be implemented, there are still going to be areas where you will be required to educate yourself, or listen to others, before moving forward. Staying curious and open will also help you move through this time with a greater degree of grace and joy, leading to a healthy sense of self-esteem that invites others to trust in your leadership with a loyalty that will last well into the future.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Sometimes when things get too comfortable, too settled, you find yourself bored or even confused. Where’s the drama? Where’s the action? Why aren’t things happening? This month, the universe has conspired to make you slow down so that you can take some time for inner reflection. This inner reflection is all about realigning with what fills your cup, what makes you feel alive and excited. You may think that you’ve been doing okay coasting along the surface of your emotions, going through the motions of the activity that you have created for yourself, but if you take time for introspection you’ll come to see that you actually feel like there is something missing. You might even have a slight physical sensation of emptiness in the pit of your stomach. In invite you to contemplate on the word “peace” and what feeling peaceful means to you. Hint: it has to do with giving back to the world around you and being connected to Source in your own unique way. Maybe now would be a good time to consider joining some kind of charitable organization or finding some way in which you can offer your talents to a cause that is close to your heart.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

May is going to be about removing yourself and your emotions from the drama of the outside world and what others think about you and realigning with your purpose. This might cause you some stress as you are likely to feel like you are making no progress with your goals and like you have no power over your current situation. But don’t be disheartened. This is an important lesson. You are a deeply feeling person who often has a hard time discerning others’ emotions from your own, and this month you will be given the opportunity to tune back into your own spiritual journey and realign with your dharma, your path. Can you look through the layers and see to the core of things? Can you learn to not take things personally and see every circumstance as divine action? And can you respond from inner knowing and act accordingly? Keep this affirmation in mind: I see to the core truth of every situation.

Horoscopes for April 2024

All Signs

Collectively we have the experience of walking blind through a dark alley. We don’t know what the future holds, but we know we need to keep moving forward. All we can do is trust our instincts, our guts, and our intuition. We have to trust that our bodies will tell us when things don’t feel right and that our compass is our sense of integrity and how much we can dream of a bright, healed, conscious, and evolved future. This also means that we will have to work to let go of pessimism and fatalistic thinking. We must each, in our own way, leave room for the possibility that things could turn out much better than we could have ever dreamed.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Moving into your sign means that you are feeling the rush of energy that spring brings. You may feel a little restless, desiring adventure and new experiences. You want to shake things up, get things done, feel like you are accomplishing tasks and achieving goals. So, get outside, explore your creative passions, and make sure to do things that fill your cup instead of directing all of that energy toward your career/job/or familial duties. Focus on what lights you up, what makes you happy, and what is important to your heart. Giving yourself the space to do so will set the tone for the rest of the year, helping you prioritize passion over obligation, and joy over drudgery.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Who you are and how you express yourself is going to rub some people the wrong way this month, dear Taurus. But please keep in mind that they’re only taking issue with you because of their own insecurities. They can’t understand how you are so grounded and sure in yourself, and why you don’t act from a place of fear or anger. My advice is to keep on being your unapologetic self, and when you are confronted by petty, fear based reactions from others remove yourself from the situation as best you can and utilize your self-care toolkit. Come back to centre, reaffirm your sense of right and wrong, and stay the course.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Don’t be afraid to embrace your inner wild-child this month. The crazier, more outside-the-box the ideas, the better. Whether those ideas are artistically, politically, or socially motivated does not matter. Set your expression free, let it move and groove through you with heart-based abandon. Doing so will attract the kinds of people you’ve been seeking to co-create with, so keep yourself open to magic. And remember, it’s not just about these other people answering your prayers, it’s about mutual exchange. Your talents and resources are going to be the answers to the prayers that they have been sending out. By working together you will have the capacity to create something bigger than the both of you.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

April is about slowing things down and watching the fruits of your labours ripen. Whether on the inner planes or out in the 3D world, you have been working hard over the last few months and now it’s time to sit back, give yourself some grace, and enjoy the returning sunshine and blooming flowers. If you allow yourself this grace, you’ll come to realize that you’ve been putting out far more energy than you were aware of. Taking care of others, doing what is expected of you, and placing greater expectations on yourself than perhaps was necessary. And watch out for that little voice in your head that likes to tell you you’re lazy, it’s lying to you. You are not lazy, you need rest. You need time to regenerate so you have the energy you need to do the things you want to do as summer rolls around.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

“Anything you say bounces off me and sticks to you.” Remember that schoolground comeback? You might want to use it as your personal mantra this month, Leo. You may find that people are projecting their own fears, insecurities, expectations, and morals onto you and at times it might be hard to shake it off. But your best tactic is to mirror their energy. Reflect back to them their silly, uninformed, and closed-minded behaviour. And then get on with your life. Remember that you are fabulous, that there are many people out there who love you, support you, need you, and respect you. Those people see you for who you really are, and if they don’t, then maybe it’s time to let them go.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

“So, tell me what you want, what you really, really want!” Maybe it’s time to crank up this Spice Girls tune and dance around your living room. Use it as your personal reminder to dream big, to think outside the box, and seize each magical moment. April offers you the opportunity to reinvent yourself, to perhaps go after goals you never thought would be possible for you to attain. Try not to dim your light or hide behind false modesty. People want to hear your ideas and the more you speak up and share your vision, the more likely you are to connect with others who can help you make it happen.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You’re faced with a bit of a challenge this month, dear Libra. This challenge will require you to have the chutzpah to stand up for yourself. You’ll notice I didn’t say you’ll be required to turn the other cheek or brush off the petty behaviours and view of others. I said: you’ll need to actively stand up for yourself. This is tricky, because it’s not about stooping to their level of closed-minded thinking, it’s about setting personal boundaries. Start by being clear with yourself about what you want, who you are, and what you believe. Then practice articulating that information to others. By doing so you achieve a something even greater: a more grounded sense of self worth. So do your best not to see this as a challenge, but as this month’s gift from the universe.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Find your flow and protect your energy. That’s the theme for April, Scorpio. You need time to do the things that feel good to you without the cacophony of other’s opinions. So, it might seem counterintuitive, what with spring in full swing, to be taking time alone and perhaps existing more on the inner planes than in the outside world, but this is a necessary act of self-love. The universe wants to gift you with a more grounded sense of self awareness, more personal energy to do the things that light you up, and that beautiful feeling of being connected to divine timing. Don’t worry, camping trips and social hangouts will come with the summer months. Everything is happening exactly as it should.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

How much can you immerse yourself in the small pleasures of life? How much joy can you derive from each moment of your day? Learning to be content right where you are is how you will bring a sense of fulfilment into both heart and mind this month. You may be filled with a spring restlessness and a need to move and do and explore, but plans to travel or do anything grandiose will probably be thwarted and you’ll be forced to focus on responsibilities and the mundane. However, this is really an opportunity, if you allow it to be. What can you do right here, right now, that brings you joy and fills your cup? What kind of adventures can you have in your hometown? How can you slow down time and enjoy the little things? Who knows what kind of magic can occur, if you only let it?

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

It’s time to advance to the next level. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, it has run its course, and you know it. So how do you move forward? Part of the answer lies in the knowledge you have gathered over the last couple of years. Be smart, be proactive, use your keen objectivity. The other part of the answer lies in taking a leap of faith. Change is not always easy for you, so you might be sitting on the fence, waiting for the right circumstances to present themselves. But you could sit there forever, waffling and recapitulating and you would never reach your potential. So trust yourself, trust your what you know, and take the plunge. The universe has your back.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You might notice that there are certain individuals who don’t want to hear what you have to say. They’d rather you shut up and mind your own business. Or perhaps you are telling yourself that what you have to say doesn’t matter. Either way, don’t fall for it. Instead, remember that your gut instinct, what you feel compelled to express or do, is in harmony with your path, your community, and the world. Those who would silence you are either triggered by what you have to say because of their own denial, or they simply can’t see the future like you can. No matter what, keep doing what you’re doing and saying what you want to say. The rest of us will catch up in due time.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

What can you take off your list? What are you busily doing that doesn’t really need to be done? I have a feeling you have convinced yourself that your self worth is based on your productivity. It’s great to be tuned into the energetic growth of spring, but if you don’t learn to listen to your own divine timing, you’re going to set yourself up for failure or burn yourself out. Dial it back, be gentle, and do things that allow you to tune into your dreams, the earth, and your own inner daydreams. There is beauty and wisdom to be found there, and you won’t hear it if you are constantly distracted by what you “think” you have to do.

Horoscopes for March 2024

All Signs

March will be a time of letting go and releasing all the setbacks that have occurred over the winter months. If you feel like you’ve been banging your head against a wall, or like you keep getting hit with one disaster after another, expect March to be the month that things start to turn around. With the coming of spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re feeling a surge of renewal just as much as the plants and animals we coexist with. We can make strides forward in terms of our goals and we feel nourished and energized from the inside out. In other words, we’re finding it easier to be who we are and create what brings us joy.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

As spring approaches, fundamental changes are taking place within you. On the inner planes you are reassessing your sense of right and wrong so you can find your way back to your innermost truth. The universe is going to take every opportunity it can to show you how to see things as they really are, rather than through the filters of your past experiences and societal conditioning. Becoming conscious of this process is key to clearing any stagnation you’ve felt over the past six months and realigning you with a path through life that feels fulfilling and rewarding. So, expect to be confronted with a life lesson here and there, but try not to get caught up in pessimism or futility. The more you facilitate the process and stay curious, the more you will set yourself up for prosperity, joy, and harmony in the coming months.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

March is going to see you focussing on how you can protect and nurture the life force within yourself and in those you love. This will mean paying close attention to the details of how you show compassion and care, how you stand up for the underdog, and how you nurture and uplift yourself and others. This might mean travel and giving of your time and expertise to humanitarian causes, it might mean you feel the desire to venture home and see family and friends you haven’t seen in a while, or it could mean an inner journey in which you examine how you can better love yourself and bring more joy into your life. No matter how it expresses, this energy will compel you to act from your highest ideals and a desire to heal, create abundance, and give back to your community or the world.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Any stagnation you feel this month will stem from resistance around accepting all the different aspects, personalities, and behaviours that make you who you are. If you want to make progress, you’ll need to learn to accept, heal, and come to terms with your demons as well as your angels, and take a close look at your current role within your familial and social groups. You are a universal being, and your gifts lie in your unique perspective, so how can you embrace your weird, own your shit, and contribute your knowledge to the betterment of society? Being proactive in this process of self examination will allow you to transmute stagnation into purpose, and frustration into joy.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Want to stop the negative internal dialogue? Are you feeling weighed down by all the negativity in the world? Are you pessimistic about your future? Surrender. Let go. Stop trying to force things that don’t feel right or aren’t working out the way you thought they would. The universe, and your Source Self, are conspiring on your behalf, but won’t be able to deliver the prize if you can’t let go of how you want things to be and surrender to how they actually are. So, anytime you notice your internal dialogue leaning toward negativity or frustration, ask yourself, “Am I seeing this situation as it is, or am I projecting?” Notice who is in control in that moment. Is it your inner child? Is it a wounded place in self? In either case, how can you love that part of yourself and lift the veil of illusion to see the situation with clarity.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Magic comes to you this month as you deepen into what you know. You are honing the skills you have acquired and the knowledge you have gained over the course of your lifetime and turning them into possibilities for the future. This will be especially true if you focus those skills and knowledge on benefiting those who are less fortunate than you. Your big lion heart wants to care for and protect family members, close friends, and your community at large. So speak your dream, set your intentions, and move in the direction that feels right in your heart. Don’t try to predict any outcomes, instead stay alert to new and exciting possibilities waiting on the horizon.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Pay attention to the signals the universe is sending you this month, dear Virgo. These messages are like breadcrumbs leading you down a path to your highest expression. You want to give back, to care for those who don’t have a voice, who lack resources, who are perhaps less fortunate than you are, but the key to realizing this calling in its wholeness is to strip yourself of any past conditioning. Old patterns and ways of doing things are no longer effective. You must blaze a new trail, both for yourself and for the greater good. You may have opportunities come along that seem amazing in the moment, but later prove to be restrictive and out of alignment with your goals, so be discerning and tune back into your inner truth each time one of these opportunities presents itself. Don’t settle for anything less than amazing.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

For you, March is about cocooning inward. Allowing this still moment in time before the renewed growth of spring to go inwards, gather all your energetic resources into yourself so that you can listen with deeper clarity to your own inner voice. This is an act of sacredness and deep self care and is part of the divine planning of your soul to help you find your passion, your purpose, and your love for life once again. This is a good time for meditation, journaling, walks in nature, evenings lit by candlelight with a warm cup of tea and the sound of the rain on the roof. Limit how much you take on in terms of the outside world. Take as many things off your calendar as possible, and don’t make promises you know you cannot keep. Be conscious of the fact that your body, mind, and heart all need rest and time for inner reflection. And don’t worry, this phase will not last forever, so allow yourself to enjoy it while it does.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

It’s time to liberate yourself from any and all restrictive forces, dear Scorpio! Whatever no longer serves you needs to be left by the wayside. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, wondering if the changes you want to implement are correct, or if now is the right time, this is it. Whenever you feel uncertain, keep a keen eye out for signs from the universe and trust your gut. The way will be shown to you, if you are willing to listen and be present in the moment. As you take action, you’ll notice that any negative energy you’ve been carrying around with you will lift. All that is required is movement and a trust in your own abilities.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The journey to finding your purpose continues, my friend. This month will bring you many learning experiences all meant to trick you into owning your own unique beauty and genius. Possibilities abound, but choosing the ones that resonate with your innermost self will be the key. You might stumble a little along the way, but don’t let it deter you from your path. Instead, use each one as a learning opportunity to fine tune your intentions and goals. You have direct access to an endless well of Source and strength which will see you feeling energized and excited for the future, so use this time to do what calls to your heart and soul.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

There is a shift taking place in terms of the direction of your life, which may leave you feeling a little uncertain and unstable. The best thing you can do is to be like water, take the path of least resistance and trust that you will find your way to the sea (your goal). This might be a little scary at times as you feel alone and isolated, but think of yourself as a butterfly that is about to emerge from its cocoon. It may feel uncomfortable to acknowledge that the unknown is what awaits you, but trust the process. Things that are coming to an end are meant to do so, and there are better, more aligned and beautiful things awaiting you in the near future. So take care of yourself, respond to your own needs, and take note of where you actually are in this stage of your transformation.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

A new vision brews within, dear Aquarius. You are reinventing yourself and itching for change. Just be cautious as you make plans, especially when they involve engaging with others. If you move hastily and without attention to detail, you’ll find every good intention is undermined by those who either don’t agree with you or who are too stuck in the past to understand the progressive benefits of your efforts. It’s best to keep your plans under wraps right now and wait for the right time to act. Change is on its way, you’ll just have to be patient a little while longer.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Let your freak flag fly, fishy! Get in tune with your creativity, let yourself dance in the moonlight and play with rainbows. Celebrate how far you’ve come and all that you have accomplished over the last year. Try to bring your focus back to what matters to you on a soul level and away from your visions of success or prosperity. Not that the two can’t go hand in hand, but right now its vital that you reduce your stress levels, and thus your to-do lists, so you can once again align your external goals with who you are as a spiritual being. So express yourself artistically, surround yourself with good friends and plenty of laughter, and let the dreamer in you take the wheel. Trust me, these acts will do more to attract success and prosperity than forcing yourself to do things that leave you feeling exhausted and confined.

Horoscopes for February 2024

All Signs

February is going to feel like we’re all planes waiting in a holding pattern above a runway. We won’t feel like we’re making much progress even though we can see the end result on the horizon. This doesn’t mean we stop working toward our goals, it doesn’t mean we sit idly by and do nothing, it simply means that the effort we are putting in is more about working to sustain where we are and what we have already achieved, as we continue to build the foundations needed to reach our larger goals. One way to see ourselves through this month is to focus more on play and pleasure. To realign with what brings us joy. To remember that our hopes, dreams, and goals are not just to work hard and make money, but they are about creating a better life, a full life, a life worth living. The second coping mechanism comes with continuing to build community. No one does anything all on their own. No matter what we do, we all rely on others to keep us comfortable, to put food on our table, to build the houses we live in and more. But beyond that, community is important because it creates diversity, brings in new perspectives and ideas, and allows us to solve problems with more creativity and awareness.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You are working toward a rebirth, my friend. A new stage or phase of your existence, that maybe you never thought was possible. In fact, you are reflecting on your community, your network of humans, and seeing with renewed clarity the skills and knowledge you have to offer. There are many in this immediate network that see you as a natural leader. They look to you for answers and guidance, but you have been capitulating about whether or not you want to take on this role and whether or not you feel you deserve it. How about, instead of putting so much pressure on yourself, you broaden your perspective to see your role within the group? By doing so, you may start to see that your role is not to lead by dragging others behind you, but to support them in the blossoming of their own unique talents. The focus then shifts from pushing everyone to do their part, to working alongside them.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

The month of February brings you a ton of inspiration, dear Taurus. You are creating magic by being who you are, by circling into the very essence of your being and shining your inner sun out into the world. You are a voice for change right now. You are the one speaking out against hate, bigotry, and violence. You are the one advocating for love and peace. Above all, I want you to hear that it is important that you not dim your light. Keep being your proud, beautiful self as much as you possibly can, because you are going to be met with a lot of people who will try their best to hold you back. These people will project their own insecurities, ignorance, and inner confusion on to you. You won’t accomplish much, in terms of greater goals, this month, but your ability to dream of a better future for all of us will open doors to opportunities that will be far more rewarding than you can imagine right now. So, hold steadfast. Keep doing what you know to do, and keep shining your light. Things will shift as the year progresses.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

This month, your Source is tricking you into stepping into your greatness, into accepting the return/reward that wants to come in your direction. You have isolated yourself off from the world, or perhaps built a wall around your heart. Others find it hard to access you, to get to know you and show you that you matter to them. But the universe is conspiring (in the form of lessons and challenges) to get you to break down this wall and help you find equilibrium in heart and mind. So, when you come up against difficult situations and your ego responds with emotion, take a moment to step back and analyze why you feel the way you do. Ask Source to show you why this circumstance has come up, what lessons it has to offer, and what reward is waiting at its core.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Cancer, you need some YOU time. You need to set clear boundaries, remember to say no, and take time to go inward. What makes you tick? What do you really want? What matters to you? Can you come into better alignment with your deepest self? Allow yourself to feel, to have moments of cathartic release. Honour your heart, body, and mind for what you have been through, the battles you have fought, and WON! This deep dive has purpose. It’s the universe teaching you to drink fully from your own internal well, your connection to Source. We are never separate from the All That Is, we just convince ourselves that we are. Listen to your ancestors, they are there waiting to support you and pass along wisdom. Maybe you do some research on your family tree. Maybe you read a book set in the region your ancestors once lived. Maybe you spend time meditating or simply tuning in and listening. Whatever you do, make time to honour your innermost self and reinvigorate your connection to Source, however you see it.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You know how in quantum physics there’s this thing called entanglement theory that says that “once two particles become entangled, they remain connected even when separated by vast distances”? If not, look it up and then take some time to imagine every particle in your body being connected to every other like particle in the universe. Feel your existence from there. And then take a look inward and be brutally honest about what patterns and behaviours need to be transmuted so you can live continuously closer to that feeling of being connected to the All That Is. You are about to turn a corner, to forge a new path, to step in a new direction. The path is laid out before you, and you know, deep down, that this change of direction is meant to be, but your thinking mind needs time to catch up. Let go of the old you and step into the clearer, more awake person you have been working to embrace.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

The universe is dropping you love letters in every way it can right now. You will see signs everywhere; in conversations, in music, and in the books you are reading. You see, you’re a little more vulnerable than you think you are at this moment in time. You heart and being are akin to a rosebud about to bloom. You are filled with ideas, with inner knowing, and revelations about who you are and the direction you want to go in. This is a tender place for you. You are learning to express yourself in a completely new way. You are like a child who is discovering the world for the very first time. This means that you could be gullible to other’s agendas because they say what they think you want to hear. They want to harness your energy, your beauty, and your magic for themselves. So, watch for and listen to the signs the universe is sprinkling along your path so that you can continue to follow the route that best supports you and lifts you up. Don’t get suckered into false promises.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Your journey of transformation continues, my friend and right now it’s important to identify just where you are on that journey. Bring awareness to the reality of your now. What are you capable of (energetically, emotionally, and physically), what is important at this point in the process, and how can you conserve your energy or direct it to where it is most needed? Try to remove your emotions from the equation. Look at your life and what you are currently working on (inwardly and outwardly) with a detached and calm mind. Everything is as it should be, everything is progressing in the manner that it was meant to, your only job is to work with the flow of change in a way that doesn’t drain your internal resources. So set boundaries, be careful with money, do the self care things that help to fill your cup, and be real about where you are in the now. Try not to get caught up in the future or worry about the past. Stay in the moment as much as possible.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

February means learning to see even more clearly into the hearts of others. It means learning not to cloud what is with what you expect. Be clear with your intentions, use your word crafting abilities to communicate and share your truth with those who matter. The more you are able to do so, the more progress you will make. Whether in relationship, career, or with friends and family it’s important to observe with all of your senses and communicate with honesty and integrity. And trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, if you feel that someone is hiding something from you or not telling you the whole story, listen to that feeling. Ask yourself why you feel that way. Strip the scenario of all internal biases so that you can discern the truth at the heart of the matter. The moral of the story here is that if you want to make progress you have to be clear with your intentions, both to yourself and to the world.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The obstacles that lay before you can all be removed by thinking outside the box and drawing on the trust and loyalty of friends and/or family. Things aren’t going to resolve themselves right away, but if you’ve felt like you’ve been banging your head against a wall, shift your focus. How can you do things differently? What resources can you draw upon that you haven’t looked to before? You need innovation. You need a new and refreshed perspective. And you’re going to have to trust the abilities and knowledge of others to find it. There are people out there who are far more loyal to you than you realize. They care about you, what you are doing, and where you want to go. And the more you let your weird light shine, they more they will get on board with whatever you have planned.  

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

The end of a cycle is currently taking place, or soon will be. You’re sort of at that place where you know you’re going to have to make a change, but you don’t quite know what that change looks like yet. This change will reveal itself in due time, but in the meantime, there are four things you need to pay attention to: 1) Keep going on the current path. There is no point in exerting tremendous energy in a new direction right now. Prevent stagnation by moving forward slowly and methodically. 2) Trust the universe. Even though you feel unsure about your future and your next steps, trust that new and wonderful opportunities are on the horizon. 3) Look at this situation, and the world, with eyes of innocence. Try not to project too much. Instead try to see this as an unfolding adventure and live in anticipation of the next chapter. 4) Rejoice in your accomplishments, your connections to loved ones, and in life itself. Focus on doing things that bring you joy and make you feel excited for tomorrow.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Strategy is required in order to move forward. So put your thinking cap on, draw upon your internal wisdom and experience, look to patterns in history that relate to your situation, and research contemporary methods that relate to your focus. You are at a delicate stage of development (both inwardly and in terms of an external project). Lack of clarity and continuing to do things the way you have always done them will result in setback. Or it will mean that your dream will not manifest the way you envisioned. The return you are looking for, the nourishment you seek, is going to start showing up, though you may need to adjust your perspective in order to see it coming.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

For you, February is about movement. It’ll be a journey of discovery and new possibilities. This could mean you hop on a plane, it could mean advances in your career or creative endeavours, or it could mean an internal voyage that teaches you more about yourself in a positive and joyous manner. In any case, this journey is going to help to cleanse you of any residual inner debris that may be holding you back from abundance, reward, and success. You might experience the occasional emotional storm surge, especially if you happen to stumble across a nostalgic memory or come across yet another aspect of self that you have to let go of, but let yourself feel it. Say your goodbye’s and wish them well. Doing so will leave you feeling lighter and filled with more strength and enthusiasm for the road ahead. Most of all, keep trusting yourself and the path you are on. Doubting yourself is for yesterday. Shining your light unapologetically into the world is the new you.

Horoscopes for January 2024

Navigating the Stars offers monthly horoscopes to astrology lovers around the world.

All Signs

Ok, so January is going to come in with a bang. An internal bang, that is. Sudden shifts are going to take place, mainly in our perspectives and how we see the world. Or, rather, how we sense the direction the world is moving in. This will stem first from how we view our individual lives. We will be forced to analyze what societal, cultural, and personal lenses are we viewing our lives, and thus the world, from.  We are still in the throws of winter, our energy is naturally drawn to the underworld, to quiet and rest. To nurturing roots and seeds. This means that January will be a powerful time internal activity; for self reflection, learning, and adapting to what IS, rather than what we “perceive”. This internal doing is creative, it’s revolutionary, emotional, and full of passion. If we’ve been feeling unfocussed or uninspired, January is going to help us bring back our enthusiasm and drive to keep pushing forward. Now is not the time to give up on dreams, but rather embrace our courage and tenacity to get them done.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Ok, Aries, you gotta remember to slow things down. Even though you intended to over the holidays, you did not rest. You still kept going and let yourself be swayed by the needs of others and your own personal insecurities around production and being enough. But it’s never too late, you can still claim that time. It’s all up to you. Listen to your body. You need periods of doing nothing, following by periods of doing even less. In yoga, you could look at your predicament this way: you need to quiet the pitta (fire, doing, action) and activate your kapha (earth, slow, steady) or you’ll find both body and mind slipping into tamas (darkness, lethargy, inertia).  You need to cultivate rest so you can find inspiration. You desperately need to fill your own cup. Might I suggest walks out in nature, chiropractor and massage appointments, time spent moving your body in a healthy and constructive way, and a dabble into some meditation.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Remember back in December when you realized that you had no control over the situation, you couldn’t get anything done, and your best course of action was to allow yourself time to dream? Yeah, that’s over now. Time to move on. Time to reap the rewards of your forced downtime. Look for synchronicities. Look for magical moments of manifestation. Look for the ease in all that you do. If it doesn’t feel easy, it’s not meant to be. Just remember that this ease and reward energy are because you spent time tapping into your most authentic self. Don’t get off track. Don’t buy into things that don’t resonate with your deepest sense of Self. Don’t take the shortcuts your ego tries to dangle in front of your nose. Follow what is right and true, knowing that in this way you are stepping more and more into your dharma, your soul path.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Your January juice comes from your ability to tap into your creative side. You have so many ideas, so much going on in your head. This might feel overwhelming if you try to force yourself to be production oriented. It also might trigger a sense of despondency or feelings of inadequacy. But if you let yourself sit in front of whatever creative projects you have on the go and wait for inspiration to start moving, all of that will begin to shift. Suddenly lethargy will turn into enthusiasm. Self doubt will turn into passion. And you’ll be able to see the path forward. I recommend utilizing whatever down-time you have to harness your creative talents, my friend. I recommend getting outrageous, courageous, and ingenious. Let yourself get carried away by the tides of your own imagination.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

It’s okay to try on different masks, you know. It’s okay to express different part of yourself. You don’t have to be the same person everyone expects you to be. You can shine bright and change your colours as often as you want. In fact, the more you do so, the more you will inspire others to do the same. This month I recommend getting out of your comfort zone by going to places you have never been (even if it’s just corners of your own back yard), talking with strangers on the street, and trying new and exiting activities. I realize that some of these kinds of actions will bring up elements of fear within your system, but I want to assure you that the fear will pass. And in fact, the more it scares you, the more it is meant for you to move toward. There are treasures waiting to be found within the act of donning more of the many cloaks (personalities) you have hidden in the closet.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

The change you want is coming, but you’re going to have to broaden your perception of what is possible if you want it to manifest. Take some time to examine the modalities with which you have achieved your goals in the past. What are the steps you would have taken, who are the kinds of people you would have talked to? All of this needs to evolve because your dream, your goal, has evolved. You are not the same person you were yesterday, six months, or a year ago. You need to think big, you need to be bold, and you need to be brave. Are there resources you have not allowed yourself to look into because you thought they were beyond your reach? Are there different people you can reach out to who will have a better understanding of your big picture than those who are currently in your circle? Ask yourself these questions and see what happens. Magic shows itself when we take a leap of faith.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

What is it that you are longing to learn about, my friend? What new quest calls to you as we burst onto the scene of 2024? Heck, it doesn’t matter what it is, all that matters is that you find a way to soak up information. That you add to your personal storehouse of knowledge. You need a challenge; you need something to light you up and inspire you. Otherwise, you fear you might dry up and become completely boring and useless. (This isn’t true, by the way. But your need for inspiration and change is absolutely valid.) Side note: this knowledge seeking impulse is rooted in a soul driven push for upgrades in all aspects of your life, so trust the process. You’ll be glad you did.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Change is on the horizon, dear Libra. This change might not be what you were expecting, and it could very well throw you off kilter. Your ability to cope will come from how much you are able to keep an equanimous mind. Emotional reactions will get you nowhere, in fact you’ll just feel like you’re swimming against the tide. The key here is to tread water and be present in the moment. Remember that everything happens for a reason and there are lessons to be learned. You can’t control anything but your reaction, and you can’t do anything but decide where you want to go and how you are going to get there. Because even though you can’t control the current situation, you can craft the bigger picture of how you want to live your life. You can decide what really matters to you and act from a place of sincerity and commitment. The choice is entirely yours.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

January is going to be a bit of a weird month for you, Scorpio. Pay attention to what does and does not work out in your favour. If you do, you’ll notice that the things that don’t work out are not actually meant for you anyway. There are greater forces at work here, the universe wants you to step up to the plate and embrace your potential. Now remember, potential is not equivalent to personal or societal expectation. Potential stems from longing. What do you want to do? What are you capable of? What have you been dreaming of doing? Those are the questions to ask yourself. So let things fall away that are no longer worthy of your attention and lean into what makes you happy. Don’t worry too much about the practicalities at this point. Just leap. You got this.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Where are you off to now, Sag? I hope it’s somewhere fun with lots of sun and beach time. If you don’t have plans for travel, I suggest you make some. Even if it’s just to explore your own backyard. You need a reset. You need to feel like you are achieving something and exploring new places, meeting new people, and getting inspired and jazzed are ways in which you can make that happen. If you allow it, a deeper understanding of your path could emerge as well. Perhaps your travels will reveal new ways of doing business, new ideas for what is possible at this time in your life, new ways of approaching challenges and difficulties. Regardless, do everything in your power to create movement and flow in your life right now. Flush your energy of anything stagnant and hit the reset button on your life.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

The road is not all that clear right now, I understand that. You feel a little lost and blind at the same time. I promise it’s going to be okay, though. You’ve got to trust that if you keep putting one foot in front of the other, eventually the fog will lift, and you will see where the heck it is you are going. As for right now, enjoy the moment. Everything is as it should be. You don’t actually have anything to worry about, even though your mind will try to grab onto anything it possibly can. All you can do is let life happen, trust in the universe and the fact that your hard work will pay off and enjoy your life and the people in it.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Pick a cause, any cause! The world is going to pull on your heart strings this month, my friend. Making you feel compassion and empathy for every dire and destitute situation that happens to cross your path. The key is to have boundaries (only give what you actually have to give), and listen to the deeper lesson about compassion. You are learning to have compassion for yourself, and for those who you care for. You see, you find it much easier to have a bleeding heart for the world “out there” than you do for your loved ones. This is because you don’t have to examine your own emotions and you like the recognition you get from grand gestures. But the older you get, the more you are realizing that having compassion and understanding (and thus connection) to family and friends pays the best dividends. I’d hop on that bandwagon if I were you.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Expect return to come your way. You started to experience this in December, but the trend is continuing into January. All your hard work is finally starting to pay off and you are reaping the rewards of your efforts. Now it’s time to up your game. To start wearing all those other hats that you have hidden under your coat. This will mean another learning curve, for sure, but you are ready. Keep nurturing those seeds that you planted in the fall. Get them ready to bloom once spring comes around. Get all those ideas down on paper, get your ducks in a row, and familiarize yourself with all the content. It’s go-time, my friend. And we’ve only just begun the year.

Horoscopes for December 2023

Navigating the Stars offers monthly horoscopes for astrology enthusiasts.

All Signs

December is the month where we take all that we have learned throughout the year, integrate that varied (and sometimes heavy) information on a cognitive and spiritual level, and step into the new. In other words, we are once again experiencing a rebirth; reinventing who we are and approaching our lives and our goals with renewed clarity, integrity, and enthusiasm. So, if the last few months, or the entire year, have felt like you’ve been walking through a fog, wading upstream, or have simply felt like one shadow-work process after another, expect that energy to shift. We no longer need to be learning the lessons and we can now step into our karma and embrace harvest, return, and new beginnings. By the way, it’s okay if you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror. You’re not supposed to. Get to know the new you and find joy in exploring the unfamiliar road that now lies before you.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You can sense that, sometime in the near future, adventure awaits. You know this in your bones. But you don’t know how, and you don’t know when. Therefore, this month might find you feeling a tad lost. Your body will keep telling you (perhaps by having to force the issue) that you need to slow down. You will be faced with decisions that force you to compromise and simplify. You may even feel like you’ve taken two steps back on any progress you have made over the last year. This isn’t so, though. Don’t get fooled. You are in the midst of coming into synch with your future. The universe is providing you with opportunities to assess what really matters to you, and what you really want, in order to move forward in the new year. Stick to your core values, your dreams and goals. Walk with confidence, knowing that anything you are being asked to give up is in divine alignment and is necessary for the next phase of your becoming.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Okay, my dear. As we step into December you might find yourself a little on the frustrated side of things. Any attempts to move forward in a tangible and practical way are going to feel like they are getting thwarted. Like roadblocks have been erected at every turn. I’ll tell you a secret, though, these roadblocks have been sent by the universe. They are here to tell you that December is your time to dream. Dream big. What do you really want? What is your overarching goal for the coming year? Use this month to prepare, both inwardly and outwardly. Save money, make lists, fortify your spiritual resilience, pay attention to your body and what it needs. Instead of worrying about whether or not you got that promotion, or the fact that something you thought you really wanted didn’t manifest, take this time to reassess and get real with yourself. Psst! Part of the problem is that you have been afraid that you might not be worthy, so you were settling for second best. Spirit won’t let you play that game anymore. You are worthy of ALL the good things.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Can you practice looking at your home, your life, your community like you’ve never seen any of it before? Like you are a tourist in a new and exciting land? Pretend you have to start and that anything you want is attainable. What would you do? Would you recognize that this is the initial phase of a greater journey? Would you gather resources and set yourself up for greatness so you could meet the unknown with more confidence? And would you allow yourself to dream? Let your imagination guide you? Let yourself get lost in the creative process, whatever that is for you? This is your chance to get curious, absorb new information, and learn. January brings with it a whole new phase, one that requires a new approach and a new dream. So let December be the month that you prepare from a place of innocence and curiosity.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

It’s okay to let go of the fears you have surrounding success. Stop trying to predict the future. Stop telling yourself you haven’t got what it takes. Stop comparing yourself to others. If you take a few minutes each day to tune into your body and your heart, you will find that your mind comes into harmony with your inner knowing. You will come to trust that inner knowing and listen with more confidence to what it has to say and what direction it points you in. Family is also important right now. Utilize your familial connection (however that looks for you – families can come in many different forms), to help you feel stable and supported. Your family wants to lift you up and help you reach your potential, whatever that potential looks like to you. Remember, you get to define your life and your path. You are allowed to move in any direction you so choose. So use this month to come into synthesis with your own inner knowing, seek support from family members and friends, and in doing so let go of your fear.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You are filled with potential right now, my friend! It’s time to rally the troops, call in favours, and go in hot. Act on your ideas, gather with community, and create magic. You will have great influence on everyone around you at this time, especially if your ideas include giving back in any way. Utilize the knowledge you have acquired. You are a multi-faceted person, with multi-faceted skills and you are clear about your goals. You can accomplish much. Just remember that your influence, or persuasive power, is not the story. The story is what you are doing and why you want to do it. Who you do you want to benefit? Who do you want to help? What solutions are you offering the situation? Move with intention and integrity. Tap into your lionheart, your grand and compassionate love for your fellow humans. And stay humble by remembering that this dream you carry is a thread of the universe, it’s not really yours. It’s an expression of the All That Is.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Where are you going, my friend? Looks like a fun adventure! Can I come along? This month, you’re all about washing off the sticky film that 2023 has left behind. You want to start fresh in the new year. You want to have a new outlook on life, one that includes a full cup, feeling free, and committing acts of play. So, whether you actually have a trip planned, or you are just feeling restless, it’s important to find things that fill you up and that bring out your playful side. And because you need to feel cleansed and refreshed, I suggest activities like hikes in the rain or going down to the water and laughing with the wind. Take a candle-lit bubble bath or hang a lavender bunch in your shower. And yes, let yourself cry when you need to. By the way, you might find yourself a little weepy as you reflect on your year and what you can now let go of.  But it’ll pass.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

December isn’t about making big decisions or putting big plans in motion. Trust your gut, your inner knowing. You’ll find power in paying attention to the details, to being meticulous and methodical. It also lies in your compassion. How much can you see things from the other’s perspective? How much love can you hold in every interaction? How effective can you be at taking yourself out of the equation and staying present for the needs of others? And what can you contribute to the health and wellbeing of your family and friends? You see, if you want to make headway with whatever goal you have, you’re going to have to attend to the day-to-day, nitty-gritty, mundane tasks that are a part of everyday living. Get good at those, and you’ll teach yourself the consistency you need to follow through with the bigger stuff. And don’t underestimate the power conscientiousness, paying attention to the details. It’s baby steps that eventually lead us to great things. And if you don’t know how to proceed, trust your intuition, logic, and your capacity to learn.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Kundalini forces are at work in your life right now, dear Scorpio. What this means is that you are going to feel ignited from within. It’s time to burn away old patterns and behaviours and remember that you are a cosmic being, and as such, you are woven into the fabric of the All That Is. The intensity with which you feel this might cause a little stress at first, but it’s important to remember that the stress reaction is happening because you are on the verge of something new, and it’s actually the unknown that scares you. Keep moving toward what you want, no matter how scary it is. Trust me, the payoff will be worth it. You have a buttload of tools in your metaphorical and practical toolkit, utilize them all. Shed the skin of your old self, and step into the new. Oh, and I recommend doing some kundalini yoga and breathwork, as well as researching the goddess, Kali. She’ll sort you out.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Okay, you’ve got a lot going on this month, dear Sag. You’re building the foundations of something and working to create more equilibrium in your body and your life, all while seeing the world from a new perspective. This perspective has to do with coming to the realization that you are always tapped into the boundless strength and support of Source. You came to this realization sometime over the last few months. Somewhere along your travels, you stumbled across something – a philosophy, a belief system, a way of being – that makes you feel connected to humanity and the universe. Thus, ideas and insights abound and you are inspired to create. In turn, creating brings about a sense of balance in mind and body. The trick here is to keep looking at the world like you are discovering it for the first time. To keep an innocent and open perspective, and to stay as grounded as possible in the process.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Have you been waiting to make that change and move forward with the next step toward your goal? Now is the time to act. You, and thus your goal, are going through a transformation, an upgrade if you will. It’s time to level up. There are a few things to keep in mind as you move through this process. 1. Protect yourself by staying clear about what you want. Keep a level head, reveal only what you have to (especially to those with any influence), and be strategic. 2. Do this all while being the rebel. If it makes you grin like a Cheshire cat, it’s the rout to go. Don’t get trapped into thinking you have to do things the way society dictates. Think outside the box and be bold. 3. Recognize what stage of the process you are in. What is the best course of action based on where you are actually at personally, financially, practically, etc. If you leap too far ahead, you’ll only wear yourself thin. Correct and methodical action reaps the greatest benefits.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

What frequency are you broadcasting on? How does your energy resonate and effect the world around you? Perhaps it’s been a little wonky lately, eh? A little off track or unfocussed? That’s okay, you were doing some much needed work in other realms, but now it’s time to recentre. It’s time to take back control of your destiny, become conscious of what you are attracting to yourself, and gather resources. Somehow the last few months have drained you, on all levels (bank account low?), and you need your cup to be filled. Give yourself permission to indulge in rest and self care, free-up your calendar, be frugal with your finances, and be clear about what you want to attract into your life. Allow December to be the month that prepares you for greatness in the new year.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Trust that what lights you up is what is required. If it makes you happy, do it. If it inspires you, follow it. You’re headed once again into the unknown, and you’re not entirely sure how things are going to work out, but you can trust that the universe has your back. As long as you keep following your bliss, things will unfold with greater ease than you can imagine. The trick here is to have boundaries. To protect yourself energetically and mentally. You know you easily get thrown off course, so take steps to help ensure that you can stay grounded, centred, and on track. Just because someone else doesn’t think it can be done, doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Your voice is unique, and the world needs your perspective, whatever that looks like. Oh, and it’s okay to receive. You deserve all the good things that come your way. It’s not just sheer luck. You worked for it.

Horoscopes for November 2023

All Signs

Whether you are carrying around the weight of the world on your shoulders, or you just have a lot going on in your personal life, this month is going to feel extra heavy. And while we need to take time to rest and fill our own cups, AND not allow ourselves to become complacent about any injustices, we also need to do our best to rebel against the norm. Part of the reason things feel so heavy is that we keep trying to fix reoccurring problems with the same strategies and modalities that we have in the past. This thinking only leads us in circles. This means that while we may think we have solved the problem, we will eventually find ourselves back in the same situation wondering what the heck went wrong.

Use this month as an opportunity to move out of your comfort zone, to get creative with your response to personal challenges and world injustices. Be bold. Be fierce. Be full of compassion. And move with a willingness to learn at every step in the process.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

This month is about experiencing the little moments. Taking time to appreciate the small things. Your cup of coffee with the sunrise. The company of a good friend. The sound of the rain on the roof. Even doing the dishes or folding the laundry. How much appreciation and joy can you glean from each moment in the day? This is important because your big picture isn’t clear to you right now. November isn’t about making big decisions or tying to map out the rest of your life. It’s a month full of putting one foot in front of the other and trusting that you are on the right path and that the big picture will eventually reveal itself. So do what feels right. Do what brings you joy. Take care of your body and your mental well-being. There are changes coming at the end of the month, and these changes will more than likely send you off in a new direction, one that you can’t see at this time, but it will bring you much more fulfilment than you ever could have imagined.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Dear Taurus, the universe hereby invites you on an adventure during the month of November. This adventure has nothing to do with where your physical location happens to wander. Instead, this is an adventure into that aspect of Self that is beyond body and mind. It is a journey into the deepest recesses of your heart and soul. I suggest you spend plenty of time at the beach, walking trails and talking to the trees, and perhaps even creating a meditation practice. Your “higher self” would like to gift you with revelations about who you are, what you want, and your dharma (sense of purpose). However, if you don’t listen to the call, if you surround yourself with activity and people and distraction, these gifts will get lost in the cacophony of your mental chatter. So how about, instead of accepting that invitation to the club, you curl up with a cup of tea, a good book, and stare at the moon? You’ll find it much more rewarding, I promise.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Change is coming your way, dear Gemini. In fact this change could mean a complete revamp of your world, whether it’s a new job, a new home, unexpected travel, or a new relationship, this change is designed to shake up your world. It’s my guess that you have been asking for this change for quite some time. You’ve been sending out prayers, making plans, and telling everyone about it. But no matter what you’ve tried, things have remained stagnant, and you haven’t been able to figure out why. Well, the answer lies in letting go of control. The plan you’ve mapped out for yourself needs to be revamped. What you want isn’t going to manifest in the way you thought it would, and the steps you must take along the way are totally different than your logical mind can anticipate. So let go. Surrender to the unknown. Think outside the box. Allow for new ideas. And do your best not to slip into negative self-talk. You haven’t done anything wrong, it’s just that circumstances have changed, YOU’VE changed, and so now both you and the universe are adapting.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

In order to get what you want you’re going to have to make some compromises. Things aren’t unfolding how you thought they would and that’s because you still need some time to heal, and for growth to take place. Instead of seeing this as a setback, try to see it as an opportunity to rest and recharge, to get all your ducks in a row and really be sure about what you want to manifest. Take a look at your to-do list and get real about what really needs to be done now, and what can be put off for another day. And when you are offered solutions to your challenges, or the universe responds to your requests in ways that are not exactly what you envisioned, I suggest you allow for some compromise. Remember that old Rolling Stones song? “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you’ll find, you get what you need.” Let this be your mantra for November. The universe is on your side, it just might not be able to manifest things exactly how you pictured them. And you’ll probably find that it all worked out for the better anyway.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

I highly recommend that you create space and time to listen to the dreams and longings of your fellow humans this month, dear Leo. Use your heart radar to seek out and hone in on the raw truth that emanates from the core of every person, whether they are conscious of it or not. Through this seemingly simple act, you will find yourself coming to a deeper understanding of yourself, the dreams you carry around inside of you and the longing that flows from your heart centre. This new understanding will then bring information to your logical mind about how you would like to move about in the world. What changes you need to make to ensure that you are creating the life you want, what kind of people you need to have around you in order to feel uplifted and supported. It’s okay to take this slow, to allow time for reflection, and to spend time daydreaming. We’re not talking a quick fix here, we’re talking about gradual, mindful change that leads you closer and closer to the life you long for.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

November is asking you to recharge your batteries. This means taking time for yourself in ways that you may have been avoiding because you are afraid to slow down enough to look inward. The thing is, if you actually take the time to look inward, to slow down the mental chatter, pay attention to your breath and how your body feels, it’s not going to be the big, overwhelming experience you think it is. Your body and your energetic Self want to provide you with a deeper understanding of who you are: what you want, what you need, what lights you up, and what is important to you. So, as much as it might feel uncomfortable at first, I urge you to spend as much time alone as possible. Get comfortable in silence so that you can strengthen your inner voice and knowing. Learn how to fill your own cup and not rely on others to do it for you. And most of all, learn what makes you happy or brings you joy so you can align yourself with that vibration when you emerge back into the world.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

In order for you to find equilibrium, you are going to have to do two things: allow space for compromise with those you are in conflict with, and become emotionally self sufficient. Let’s tackle these one at a time. 1. Even though you do anything to avoid conflict, you still have a stubborn streak. You want things done your way, you just find indirect routes to your goal. This in itself can create conflict because your actions can be seen and felt as undermining and “sneaky”. It also shows those you care about that you are not really interested in cooperation, even though you may say you are. So, how can you truly make compromise with others? How can you show others that you really care by actively and truly allowing them to get what they need? 2. You may not realize it, but you are relying heavily on one or more individuals in your life to validate you, give you purpose, and carry your emotional load. This needs to change if you want to save those relationships. It’s time to take ownership of the direction of your life, of your physical health and mental well-being, and of the emotional process of facing your own demons and trauma. This could be life changing, if you let it. But you have to do the work.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Oh, my dear Scorpio. I know you don’t like to show your feelings and you are a very private person, often suffering in silence, but this month is YOUR month and things want to shift for you. A breakthrough wants to take place. Somehow you’ve been feeling stagnant, heavy, stuck. Nothing you do seems to move you forward in the direction you want to go in. The key to finding the breakthrough you’ve been looking for is to allow yourself to feel the sorrow that is sitting just below the surface of your cognitive mind. You know it’s there. You can feel it. But you’ve been riding above it, trying to stay positive, not wanting to bother others with your internal strife. If you let yourself sink into this sorrow, to let it move through you, like a river cleansing the valley of your heart, you will find release. So, what is it that you haven’t let yourself process? What pain or trauma have you felt tugging at the back of your heart that you haven’t wanted to acknowledge? Turn around and face it head on. Acknowledge it and give it space to breath, to be loved and accepted, and to heal. It’s okay to feel all those feelings, it’s okay to be sad or angry or confused. And those feelings will not last forever, you just have to give them space to breathe.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Think before you speak. This is the theme for November. I know you have lots of opinions, and they are all valid, but it’s important this month to turn that lens of yours inward and take time for inner reflection. You see, a lot of what you are projecting on to others right now has more to do with you and your internal state of being than it does anyone else. So when you find yourself wanting to voice your opinion about someone or something, stop. Check yourself. What are your reasons for speaking up? What is the emotion underneath the opinion? What would happen if you took that opinion and turned it on yourself? What knowing could you glean from doing so? Practicing the art of inner reflection will help you slow things down, move with more purpose and mindfulness, and give you a deeper understanding about who you are and what you want. It will also help you to see that not everyone fits into the boxes you would like to check in your mind about how things should be. Everyone has their own path and sometimes those paths can look very different from our own.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You’ve seen this coming. It’s been building for a while now, but you haven’t wanted to acknowledge it because it feels a little too overwhelming. But now it’s here. Whatever it is, it’s bringing a whole lot of stress with it. You feel taxed, drained, and like you are juggling twenty candles while balancing on an exercise ball. It’s okay, though. This state is not going to last. However, while it’s here you are going to have to muster all the courage and strength you have. If you give up now, if you surrender and decide whatever goal you have is not worth it, you run the very real risk of things falling into chaos. So stick to your goals, do the hard work, organize your time and your energy so that you don’t completely wear yourself out. Prioritize, act with mindfulness and logic, and don’t let anyone stand in your way. And when things feel overwhelming and perhaps downright scary, seek the support of others. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from those you trust. Like I said, this isn’t going to last forever, and once you move through this time you will be rewarded with new opportunities, but you’ve got to stay the course.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

It’s inner pilgrimage time, my friend. A change is coming your way, new things on the horizon, and you need to prepare. This preparation includes strengthening your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. It means deepening into your understanding of who you are and what you want; your life path or dharma. You are going to need this strength to take on the challenges of the change that is coming your way. And it would behoove you to see that this change can either be for the better, or for the worse. It all depends on how clear, intentional, and self aware you are when it comes along. If you are ignoring certain aspects of yourself or your life because you think you don’t have time to look at them, then they are going to blow up in your face or take you completely by surprise. But if you take the time to self-examine then there will be no need for such drastic measures and the gifts the universe wants to bring you will be able to come into your life with ease.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Do you know your worth? Do you? Can you take a moment to step back and look at all you have accomplished? You deserve to receive all that you have given. So breathe a sigh of relief. November is the month that you start to see, and actually celebrate, your own successes and experience return (harvest) for all the seeds you planted in the spring. I would invite you to continue to balance out and heal your relationship with the divine feminine and masculine within you. Acknowledge when you need to feel, create, move with spontaneous flow (feminine), and embrace when you need to think critically, make lists, and move with logic (masculine). Both of these are valid aspects of the self, but you tend to beat yourself up when you are not doing or acting how you think you “should” in any given circumstance. Keep paying attention to your inner knowing. What is at play below the surface that you feel/see and no one else does? What does your intuition tell you about this person or that situation? Instead of internalizing it and thinking you’ve done something wrong, use your keen powers of observation to recognize what is actually going on. In this way you will be better able to serve.

Horoscopes for October 2023

All Signs

If you find yourself being nostalgic for the past throughout the month of October, I hope you take some time to reflect on why that is. Why is the past suddenly looking better than your current situation? There is no right or wrong answer here; each of us is going to have our own very personal response to this question. But what it comes down to is that we’re each going to realize, in our own way, that it’s time to remove the rose-coloured glasses that we view our past with and create space for the idealized (read: trauma response personas) childhood parts of who we are, to grow up. It’s time to settle into our maturity and learn how to make decisions that integrate ALL of Self – all aspects of who we are. It’s time to look to the future while making peace with inner contradictions that were formed out of the need to survive. It’s not going to be easy because integrating those personas means we have to actually listen to them; listen to their pain and their suffering and allow them to heal. October is about letting all our hidden personalities take up space so we can befriend and amalgamate them into who we are now.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Welcome to eldership. You have earned it. You have fought your battles, you have struggled, you have pushed yourself enough. What is settling into your bones is a sense of maturity and calm. This month will allow you to be objective about life in a way that you never have before. You’ll have the opportunity to see your life, other people, and worldly situations from a place of compassion, lived experience, and wisdom. And instead of questioning yourself, you’ll finally begin to see that you can just trust this inner perspective and allow yourself to BE in the world from that place. In other words, things that used to bother you, trigger you, or frustrate you will now present as mere blips on your inner radar. There will be no need to engage beyond what is integral and appropriate to do so because you’ll be able to see the whole picture. Now this may take some time, and you will likely have more work to do, but the journey will be so worth it. This growth is going to reward you in so many ways.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

If you let go of the past, you’ll find it a heck of a lot easier to surf into your future. C’mon, Taurus! Lighten your load. Set yourself free. Take a look within and acknowledge all the people, places, and things that no longer resonate with who you are. Because who you are is constantly changing, and it’s okay to surrender to the inevitable ebb and flow of life. Letting things go doesn’t necessarily mean that you love any less, it can just mean that it’s time to move on, to turn the page and begin next chapter of the story. At the same time, letting go of resentment, anger, and pain creates room in the inner corridors that can be filled with more of who you are now and who you are coming to be. I hope you make a list of everything that you know you need to let go of. Go down to the water’s edge and burn the list and let the tide take it all away. Pay close attention to how your body feels after this little ritual. Is there a sudden lightness to your step? I’m willing to bet there is.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Okay, so you took on this grand goal and in the beginning you had gobs enthusiasm and a hefty does of zeal. But lately things have started to shift. This thing that you once were so excited about, believed in so strongly, is now starting to feel like a burden. Maybe things have been a bit slow to come to fruition, maybe you feel like you’re failing, maybe it feels like no one appreciates what you are doing, so there are these negative connotations starting to build around certain tasks and responsibilities and they are making you feel heavy and unmotivated. But this is precisely the time that you need to keep going. If you give up now, you’re giving up on all your effort and hard work and depriving yourself of the joy, pride, and sense of accomplishment you’ll feel once the wheels you’ve set in motion really start to gain traction and the fruits of your labours start to ripen in abundance. So keep going, even if it’s just one baby step at a time.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Dictionary.com defines synergy as “the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements”. This will be especially important for you this month, dear Cancer, as it will be the combination of your personal talents/assets that will allow you to experience growth and prosperity. My suggestion for you is this: when you are faced with challenges or new situations, turn off any negative self-talk or anxiety by tuning into what brings you joy and then applying whatever comes up to the situation at hand. I guarantee that whatever brings you the most joy in each moment will provide the perfect solution to whatever project, problem, or challenge you are faced with. You’ll notice, as you put this into practice, that you have much more to offer the situation than was apparent at first glance, and that by combining your unique and diverse talents, you can accomplish a heck of a lot more than you ever thought possible.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Shoot for the stars, dear Leo. This month is one of action and doing. Set goals, make lists, be proactive, but most of all keep your true aspirations at the forefront of your mind. Don’t settle. Don’t deviate. Don’t make compromises. What do you want in your heart of hearts? What matters to you? Why are you doing what you are doing? If the answer is anything other than that it lights you up and brings you joy, then you are heading in the wrong direction. Use your charisma and your charm to win others to your cause, and pay attention to the fact that you do, in fact, have resources that you have been gathering for quite some time. These resources may be in the form of money, but more than likely they are in the form of people and connections. The season of setbacks and roadblocks has ended, and it is now the season of reward/harvest. Let go of the belief that things are hard or they aren’t going to work out, and start believing in ease and prosperity. Now is the time, so seize the day.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Ok, so you’ve invested all kinds of time and energy into learning, creating community, and gathering resources, but lately its felt like you’ve just been spinning your wheels and getting nowhere. This can be frustrating, I know. However, what if you changed your perspective just a little bit? What if you thought outside the box and went for what you really want? I know, I know, you’ve already convinced yourself it’s not the right time, that you are worthy, or you’re simply not the right fit. But that’s all in your head, my dear. You are putting unnecessary limitations on yourself. You are just as deserving as anyone else and you have the skills and talents required, to boot. So, I suggest that instead of settling for what you consider to be second best, you tell the negative Nelly in your mind to shut up and go after what you really want. The universe is waiting to gift you, so why not let it?

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

This month is about letting go of patterns, behaviours, and ideas of who you think you are so that you can fully embrace who you are becoming and find success. This might sound overwhelming, or even scary, but it doesn’t have to be. All that is required is that you own what you want and make the decision to move toward that goal. It’s like that old adage: fake it till you make it. Or pretend intend. The hardest part here is to make the decision. Once you have taken that first step, the rest will get easier, even if it means having conversations you don’t want to have, or getting out of your comfort zone to do things you’re not sure you have the ability to do. This kind of forward movement might even serve as inspiration for others who also struggle with feeling worthy or who are too afraid to move ahead with their goals. This is your month, so put your people skills to work. Create connections, set goals, and mediate your own inner dialogue to find what is true for you.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Self care. Do lots of it. Slow down and find as many ways as possible to nurture your mind, body, and heart. Balance is what you are seeking here. Bringing balance to your life as a whole. In other words, this self care is not about indulgence or the art of escapism, it’s about bringing wholeness to all the places that you feel fragmented, frayed, or just off. Eat healthy foods, move your body around, create a meditation practice, spend time with people who really know how to listen and can offer constructive and heart centred feedback. While others are busy doing this month, you will find yourself pulled to rest, find quiet, create art, and spend time in nature. Try to fight this as little as possible because soon enough the energy will shift and there will be plenty of people and projects fighting for your focus, energy, and time.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You are already known for being the one who is most likely to think outside the box in any given situation, but this month will require more of this kind of creative approach than normal. So, whenever you are faced with a challenge, whether in terms of love, work, travel, family or money, tap into this superpower. Doing so will help you adapt, make changes, and free up energy so you can strengthen your position, credibility, and resources. Just remember not to become too self absorbed in all this. Keep your heart open and be mindful of the feelings and perspectives of others. Remember the saying: one attracts more flies with honey than with vinegar. Using this tact, your creative and diverse perspective will likely be met with gratitude and enthusiasm, rather than resentment and resistance.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Hexagram 63 in I-Ching (Book of Changes) is called Before Completion. This hexagram signifies a pause, like the moment between an inhale and the inevitable exhale. We often find ourselves in this place after we have expended a lot of energy working toward a goal, i.e.: the end of a semester at university, when we have completed a particularly demanding project, or when our kids leave the nest. It’s important to take advantage of this pause, but also remember that there is still much more life to live. We cannot become complacent. This moment won’t last forever. Just like the phases of the moon, soon your life will begin to wax again, shining a light on the next stretch of road. So, take advantage of this pause and use it to prepare yourself for the next round and the achievements that will follow close behind.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Like a racehorse charging through the start line you are going to feel a surge of energy this month, dear Aquarius. Whatever you are passionate about will be the driving force behind this burst of energy. Let it happen. Hold nothing back. Let yourself be enthusiastic as you throw your whole self into whatever this is. Do research. Be creative. Share your ideas with others and recruit them to your cause. This energy will also be a little bit unpredictable, so you’ll have to make sure to keep hold of the reins. In other words, don’t let yourself get too far off track. Yes, you’ll have a gazillion ideas, but not all of them will be worth pursuing. Make sure you are only going after what you are truly passionate about. Not to worry too much, though. If you do stray, you’ll figure it out in short order as the energy and enthusiasm will quickly wane.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

How can you continue to rekindle your love for your personal goals and/or projects, dear Pisces? How can you express more love for those things that you are passionate about? Sometimes you get stuck because you trick yourself into thinking its about the “doing”, when it’s really about cultivating joy and showing your love for the things that matter to you, the things that light you up. Allowing space for this kind of love will bring you a much greater sense of fulfilment than just going through the motions of accomplishing your goals. The point is to truly live, right? To experience life in all its fullness? And isn’t that what you want to gift to others? So, with each day in this month of October, I challenge you to find more ways to express love and passion for the things that matter to you. And see what happens.

Horoscopes for September 2023

All Signs

Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. You can’t logic your way out of your fears, your doubts, and your insecurities, and maybe you can’t even see the road ahead of you; you just have to trust. You have to let go to the unknown and trust your inner knowing. We’re all going to experience this discomfort to some degree over the next month as we put one foot in front of the other as best we can. While this might be challenging, it can also be a beautiful act of personal liberation. Take time to notice the little things. Be grateful for what you have. Give yourself the freedom to create and trust your own process. When opportunities present themselves, do your best not to over analyze or fall into negative self talk. Instead, refocus on what you really want and continue creating your life and your dreams with intention. The universe is encouraging us to get out of the narrow pathways of the known and surrender to the MORE that is possible in every moment. This month might be a little maddening, especially if you are a Virgo, but if you are able to find moments of surrender and faith in the universe, you might just come to some deeper realizations about what you want, where you are heading, and how you want your life to look along the way.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

What is your idea of play? This month invites you to take a look into your past and analyze the examples you have been given over your lifetime about what play means. Whatever it is, whether you are someone who can only have fun when you’ve had a few drinks, experience an adrenaline rush, or are surrounded by people, it’s time to recognize that those patterns may not be inherently yours. So what does play actually look like to you? What activities actually help you relax and let go of your to-do list for a while? What makes you laugh? What circumstances do you REALLY need in order to surrender to spontaneity? Your current requirements for play are more than likely a response to past trauma or imposed beliefs. You likely weren’t allow to play and so probably rebelled as a teen in order to find moments where you did not need to be on guard all the time. But the act of play is much, much more than just a battle cry for independence, it is a stance of receptive openness where we tap into our own inner knowing through joyful acts.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

What you’ve been asking for is on its way. I know it’s been taking a little longer than you expected, or would have liked, but it is coming. Keep spreading the word, keep moving toward your goals as best you can, and trust. There may still be some work to do, kind of like when you do a last walk-through at the end of a shift to make sure everything is ready for the morning. This work is in the form of bringing into balance the divine masculine and divine feminine within you. What parts of these two intrinsic parts of self still need healing? What parts need to be honoured, seen, and heard? Can the divine masculine within you hold space for the spontaneous, deeply feeling, and creative divine feminine? Can the divine feminine within you stop at nothing to help the divine masculine come into wholeness? These may seem like big questions, but if you think about it, you’ll recognize that you’ve been doing this work for the past month anyway, you just haven’t known how to put it into words.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Ok, Gemini, you’ve been living life like it’s a chore. Your list is a mile long and you never feel like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, am I right? And to some extent, that’s great. You’ve got goals you are trying to reach and you are putting in the work to attain them. On the other hand, you’ve lost sight of what actually lights you up. So these are some questions you might want to ask yourself this month: what makes me excited to be alive? What makes my heart overflow? What brings me a sense of fulfilment? When asked with sincerity, these questions may bring you a deeper understanding of the path that you are on and remind you of what is truly important to you. We can only function with our noses to the grindstone for so long before we burn out or become bored and lose interest. If you truly want to attain your goals, you need to infuse your awareness with those things that bring you a sense of excitement. Don’t worry, these things are in alignment with your dharma, or life path, even it it’s not readily apparent. Trust that what your heart wants, is what will bring you the most reward.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You can’t build the life you want if you never share your dream with anyone. Living in isolation, or hiding your true self (wants, desires, creativity) from the world will only leave you feeling lonely, and perhaps resentful. You’ve got to take a chance sometimes, come out of your shell, and let others see your vulnerability. When you do so, you do run the risk of being hurt again, I know, but you also allow the universe to respond to you in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. Suddenly that thing you’ve been praying for shows up, or you find someone that really “gets” what you are talking about or what you want to create. September asks you to do more than peek out from underneath your rock, it asks you to venture out onto the beach and find kindred heart, let others see you in your full glory, and find new perspectives on the road to your becoming.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You’ve been carrying burdens that are not your own, my friend. This has led to feelings of resentment because you don’t feel you are being recognized for your efforts. This is not ok for you, or for others involved. For one, you are robbing those others of their own life lessons. And two, you have put yourself into a situation where you feel isolated and alone. This month is inviting you to shift all of that. What can you let go of right now? What are you doing for others that they should really be doing for themselves? I know it might be hard to do, but you’ve got to put the responsibility back where it belongs and claim your life back. Set yourself free to create and do what you long to do. This simple act of setting boundaries will not only leave you feeling lighter and more energized, but it will bring magic your way. People, things, and situations you didn’t even know you were asking for will suddenly appear and you will once again find ease and flow in your daily life.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

There’s a compromise that needs to happen if you want to find that sense of fulfilment that you’ve been looking for. Mostly because you can’t do it all on your own. And I know this is frustrating. You’re fiercely independent and you don’t want to have to rely on anyone. But, if you want your inner cup to be replenished and find your sense of purpose once again, you’re going to have to invite collaboration. Now, this does not mean compromising your personal morals or values. Stay strong with what you know is right for yourself and for the big picture. This is how you attract the right people. Where you do need to compromise is in the “how”. People have their own unique creative expression, whether they apply it to an artistic venture, or a corporate project. This month, practice engaging with others who fill the gaps in the repertoire of your talents. In this manner, you can allow your personal strengths to shine and feel accomplished, fulfilled, and grounded into your sense of purpose once again.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Imagine a river running through a valley. It’s clear and full and provides water source to all the inhabitants of the land on either side of its length. This river has intention: to get to the sea. It is following its dharma, both in providing life and in performing its role in the earth’s water cycle. Now imagine a city is built on its shores. The city grows, the river gets clogged with waste, and the waters are churned by activity, thus stemming its flow and contaminating its purity. This is your energy right now. You are stuck, you are stagnant, and you don’t know how to move forward. But you and I both know there is so much potential that continues to run from upstream. You have just lost sight of your source. You have lost sight of the beauty that is YOU on this earth. It’s time to go with the flow, it’s time to unclog the arteries of your emotional and energetic bodies. Your inner sunshine wants to be reflected in the cool, clear waters of your inner truth. I hope you decide to take time to heal, ask for help, sit with your feelings, and be present for yourself. You’ll get through this.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

All that sorrow you’ve been carrying around? That heavy weight of lethargy and futility? Ya, it’s trying to lift this month, my friend. You’re in for a full-blown breakthrough on the inner planes. But first, you’re going to have to spend some time really feeling all those feelings. You might, in fact, feel like you’re falling apart for the first couple of weeks of September. But then things will start to shift and it will be as though the sun has broken through the clouds and you feel lighter and more alive. A lot of this has to do with letting go of fear and learning to see things as they are, not covered by the filters of your trauma and learned patterns. You don’t have to do things the way you’ve always done them. You don’t have to keep carrying pain, and its subsequent behaviours, just because that’s what you know. You can decide to step into your truth at any time. And over the next while, the universe is going to provide you with as many opportunities as it can to help you see this for yourself.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

September is going to give you some unique opportunities to reactivate the talents of many of the lost and forgotten parts of yourself. You’ve been praying for a change, you’ve been praying for some excitement and to get out of the funk you’ve been feeling over the past while. The thing is, if you really want change, you won’t get away with staying at your current level of awareness. There has to be growth in order to move forward. So it’s time to shine a light on all those talents you left behind at some point or another. In other words, you are going to get what you want, but you are going to be challenged in the process. You’ll have to draw upon all your resources and learn to stay present. It might be tempting to get overwhelmed and decide that whatever is happening is not meant for you, but I encourage you to stick with it. If you do, your future self will thank you.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

I know you don’t see yourself as someone who actually has any influence on anyone, but that needs to change, dear Capricorn. You have a lot to offer any group that you step into and, whether you see it or not, others do look up to you. September is your opportunity to cultivate your leadership skills and engage with others in a meaningful and empowering way. Whatever you are drawn toward at this time, I invite you to deepen into it. To let yourself explore, learn, and share your ideas with other like-minded individuals. You’ll find, that if you do so, you will quickly be elected to take charge; be centre spider, the head honcho. Now is a time to be bold, be brave, and to share your ideas with the world. Just remember to stay humble; you are one part of a whole, one spoke in a wheel. This energy is about creating community, about lifting others up, about doing what’s best for the group. Your talents lie in making people feel comfortable, heard, and seen. You have a natural way of including even those that are on the fringes and making them feel welcome. You offer a cool head during times of stress. You see a logical way through any challenge. And you have far greater creative genius than you realize.  

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Life is throwing a lot at you right now, I know. It seems like every time you turn around, you’re having to put out another fire or deal with another tragedy. You’re tired, you’re overwhelmed, and in response much of your emotional body has shut down. The thing is, shutting down won’t actually help you right now. If you want to find balance again, you’ll need to keep your heart open and vulnerable. It’s important to feel everything that is happening, because through all of these challenges there is an opportunity for healing. There is an opportunity to truly connect with community, kindred heart, and beloved. To deepen your relationship to yourself and to others. A helpful practice would be to take just five minutes a day to sit and scan your body for any discomfort, and sit in your heart to acknowledge what you are really feeling. Ask yourself, “what does my heart need right now?” and see what happens, what comes up. This small act of healing will lead to others and combined they will help you find balance to better navigate the tumultuous times you are living through.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Get in touch with your inner shine, my friend. How do you spread light into the world? How do you bring joy to others? These are questions that are worth asking because the universe is going to put more kindred souls on your path. It’s going to provide you with co-creative opportunities that most likely you do not have on your radar of possibilities. Try not to be too picky in your response to these opportunities, you never know where they could take you. Even though something may seem like it’s not related to your current situation, it could lead to a new and exciting path that is in alignment with your dharma. And there is an element of shared purpose here. Feeling part of something that contributes to the greater good of your community, or the world at large. Every person that comes across your path this month will provide you with a unique opportunity to become involved in, or create, community involvement. Use this month as an opportunity to restore your faith in humanity and your ability to participate in change.

Horoscopes for August 2023

All Signs

Leo season is asking us to stop compromising when it comes to our innermost truth, play, and creativity. Every time we tell ourselves that it is more important to do what we are “supposed” to do instead of letting ourselves explore creatively, something in us dies a little. We reinforce the belief that we are not worthy, that what wants to flow from our hearts is not “important” enough, and we keep ourselves small.

And thus, we deny ourselves the ability to fill our own cups, to find a pathway to our own inner bliss. So my invitation to you this month is to experiment with how raucous and ribald you can get. How much can you paint outside the lines, break the rules, go against the grain, or do the unexpected? How much can you unleash your passion, your craving for life? And can you let go of any expectations of what this is all supposed to look like? Can you let yourself BE the experiment? Lean into your dharma and learn to weave your life from the inside out.

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCORPIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

I know it’s so hard, my dear Aries, but the most important thing you can do for yourself right now is to have patience. Whatever you are trying to accomplish, whatever goals you have set for yourself, they are going to take a little time to come to fruition. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth working toward, it just means you are learning how to slow things down and enjoy the journey. You are learning to have patience with yourself as well as with the world. You are learning to pay attention to the details, to move with mindfulness and compassion, and move toward what you really want instead of what sounds good in the moment. The more you can lean into this lesson, the more you will be met with success. All that hard work will pay off!

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

Where are you going, Taurus? Seems you are bound for travel, whether it is the inner or outer kind is up to you. Either way you are bound for new sights and new experiences. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about whether to take that trip you’ve been planning, know that now is the time, and the universe is conspiring with you. There may be those who try to tell you that you shouldn’t go, where you are going is too dangerous, or that you haven’t planned properly. But they are just acting from their own fear. They wish they had the gumption to do what you are doing, so let them find their own path and don’t pay attention to their negativity. Go. Have fun. And do it your way.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Let yourself take refuge in your artistic side this month, Gemini. Whatever is pleasing to your eyes, ears, hands, and heart is what will bring you the most reward. Get curious about the world around you and let that curiosity lead to even more questions. Let your mind wander through the alleyways of problems waiting to be solved. Who knows, you may even find yourself finding answers to questions you’ve been mulling over about your own life purpose and path. In fact, I highly recommend that you veer off the path of “supposed to” and onto the winding and unpredictable road of “want to” as much as possible. And try not to worry so much about the destination, or the game plan. Just keep learning to enjoy the ride.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

I know it’s hard to look at sometimes, and you’d rather just keep going  and not have to deal with any more heaviness, but it’s time to do some releasing of the anger and disappointment you’re carrying around. There are a lot of ways in which life has been consistently shitty over an extended period of time, but I swear you still have the capacity to feel inspired, find purpose, and find a sense of connection. But first, you’re going to have to fully own, and then release, the anger and disappointment you feel about the hand you’ve been dealt. Remember, none of it is your fault. You have every right to feel how you feel, but you also have the right to find inspiration and peace. So begin the process of turning your attention in that direction.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Isn’t it funny how often times the thing we most aspire to be is the thing we are most afraid of? I know you long to step into the spotlight, to be an inspiration and watch the ripples of your influence move out into the world around you, so why not just let it happen? You have a lot of skill, insight, and knowledge you can apply to whatever is the focus of your attention at this time, you just need to give yourself a little kick in the butt to get off the sidelines and onto the field. It’s ok, your sense of justice is far too deeply rooted to let you stray too far into the land of the ego in this endeavour. You’ll keep yourself in check, and if you don’t, the universe will do it for you. So go ahead, let yourself be the star of the show, it’s your time to shine, my friend.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

August will see you go into full nurture mode, dear Virgo. Whether it’s taking care of children, family members, friends, or the planet, you want everyone and everything around you to feel well taken care of. However, there’s a different flavour to your nurturing now. Your perception about what that action looks like is changing. You have come to understand, deep within your being, that what is required is a marrying of opposites where the polarities of a person, culture, or situation, must come to an understanding and really see and hear each other in order to heal. So there is no space you are not willing to look, no situation you are not willing to allow space for, as long as it leads to compassion, understanding and alchemy. Just don’t forget to turn that lens on yourself once in a while and allow healing to take place within you as well. You can’t give all the time. You also need to receive.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Um, the universe wants me to tell you that it’s been knocking on your door and you have yet to answer. I suggest you take a minute to listen to what it has to say, after all the universe can only be ignored for so long and may very well smash down the door of your permission to get it’s point across. Just saying. So what is it that you haven’t been listening to? What’s the lesson here? It’s quite simple, really. You can’t build anything without first constructing a foundation. And this might seem obvious, but if you’re really honest with yourself, you haven’t allowed this knowing to become fully cognisant. You like how things have been going; your luck has turned for the better and after some rock-bottom moments at the beginning of the year you have enjoyed feeling “back to your old self”. But that could all come crashing down if you don’t pay attention to the self-care needed that those rock bottom moments so clearly illustrated for you. You’ve gotta build from the ground up, my friend. Or the whole building will fall down.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

This month is going to get you feeling all the love. Relationships, of whatever type, are going to feel important and you will feel drawn to both deepening your romantic interests as well as connecting with those friends that always seem to add a special something to your day. So listen to your gut when it says “text so-and-so” or “perhaps I should reconnect with (insert person)”. Honour your heart by remembering that this isn’t about surface level interaction, it’s about rekindling that deep connection that fills you up and helps you find meaning in your every day. This may call for some hard work. You might need to put your ego aside and make the effort to see things from another’s point of view, you may need to compromise in order to meet them wherever, and however, they are capable. But trust me, the joy that wants to blossom out of these interactions is well worth the effort.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The last month or so you’ve been feeling more than a little bit of confusion. You have felt unsure about what direction to move in, and this hasn’t been the most comfortable of feelings. But you’ve been doing the inner work, reflecting on what you really want for yourself and your life, and perhaps even doing some healing of your inner child. This month, that work is going to pay off. Expect a breakthrough to happen, to finally feel like you are in alignment and the path has opened up before you. Seize the day, my friend. Don’t let self doubt or negative self talk take you off track. Instead, I encourage you to fall back on that spontaneous and self-confident nature of yours and trust your gut. No matter what, all roads lead home, meaning that any choice you end up making will be the right one. It’s time for an adventure!

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

August has you feeling both compassionate and generous. You want to spread the love and you want everyone you love to share in your success. You heart feels full and you are ready for anything. Now is a time for action, for following through on plans that may have lain dormant for some time, and for doing the things that bring joy, both to you and those you love. Through all of this, please remember to also have compassion with yourself. Take care of your body, mind, and heart and rest when you need to. This is not a universal command to push yourself until you drop, rather it is an invitation to cultivate more of what makes you happy and spread that joy to the world and those you care about.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Can you let your guard down? Can you remove the wall around your heart? I hope so, dear Aquarius because this month the universe invites you to trust where life is taking you and to keep an open heart. There is a ton of magic that wants to come your way (this could be in the form of unexpected connection, money, a new job, a new relationship, etc.), but it can’t find it’s way to you if you keep everyone at arms length. Sometimes you have to let people in, you’ve got to get a little bit vulnerable and let them see the real you. My advice is to keep an open mind whenever you walk into a room or situation. Try not to project what you think you know about the people or the circumstance. Instead pretend you know nothing and keep your eyes and ears open for unexpected opportunities and conversations.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

All right, my watery friend. This month is all about balancing out the feminine and the masculine within you. This means that you have an opportunity to set goals, take action, be in doing mode, but also give yourself the time to feel deeply and trust your intuition. I know you’ve had a hard time with this in the past. You tend to spend your time in the land of daydreams and you like to go with the flow, but there are things you want to accomplish and the time of being uncertain of your ability, the direction you should be going in, and generally living in self-doubt, is over. You’ve got this. So trust your gut, trust what you know is right for you, and then take action. Maybe create a daily routine that involves a morning meditation or walk, a healthy breakfast, and then tackling all those things on your to-do list. What you get done this month will have both short and long-term benefits, trust me.
