A focus and clarity of mind, as well as a belief in one’s self, is required in order to make it through the seemingly insurmountable tasks that lay before you. Even though it may feel like you are getting nowhere, that every step you take forward means two steps back, you are making progress. Cultivate joy where you can and remember to tap into your creativity. Solutions lay at your fingertips, it’s just a matter of whether or not you allow yourself to see them.

There is also an aspect of spontaneity that needs to be taken into consideration. You can make all the plans you want, but you will end up chucking them out the window in order to go with the flow of what IS. This also means that you have to trust yourself and the universe.

Some people are better at this than others, and for those for whom it is a challenging task, remind yourself that things have always worked out before and that much of your discomfort at the “no plan” scenario has to do with the fact that you don’t quite believe in yourself yet. However, your belief in yourself will be strengthened through being forced to colour outside the lines and step into the unknown.

We keep waiting for things to get easier, or to go “back to the way they were”, but that’s not the point. At this time we are all meant to be uncomfortable, to have our beliefs and our modus operandi challenged. From this place of discomfort, we are meant to find action instead of reaction. We are meant to learn what it means to both roll with the punches and stay grounded in our sense of self-worth, integrity, and purpose. How can we act in the best interest of everyone involved? How can we make sure that we are both going for our goals as well as gracefully adapting to the cards we are dealt? We must each face our own crap and heal it in order to heal the world.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Let’s ponder matters of the heart for a moment, shall we? What does love mean to you? What do your relationships with family and friends mean to you? Are you willing to open your heart and set aside all of the anguish you have suffered in the past? We cannot walk through life alone. As humans we need connections with others to both survive (helping each other in times of need) and to thrive (to add colour and meaning to our lives). Your heart needs to loosen up, do a little dance, to be spontaneous, and let go of restricting beliefs about love that have been created by your mind. In other words, your heart wants to take you on an adventure, and adventure that will open your eyes and your Self to new, and before unimaginable, interactions and connections with others. This is not about starting a new relationship, or finding “the one”, this is about healing wounds of the past, allowing new people into your life, and learning to flow with the tides of impermanence. Be open to the fact that every person has something about them that is worth loving.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

What is it that you are trying to bring together? What forces in your life, that seem like exact opposites, are trying to finally work together for the betterment of your bigger picture? Seriously ask yourself this question. Whether it is in your work life (melding of departments, employees, or ideas), or in your personal life (you and your partner are at odds, or you are having trouble balancing career and family) you need to stay conscious of the fact that what seems polar opposite is actually two sides of the same coin. Synthesis can be achieved, but you will need to be patient and keep your eye on the bigger picture. In fact, take pride in your ability to orchestrate and oversee this seemingly  futile (to some) task out of making a whole out of two halves. Use your influence and resources, but stay humble. Don’t forget to exercise compassion. And last, but not least, trust that you will receive exactly what you need, when you need it.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

The strength of your community is behind you right now, so harness it as best you can. If you feel stronger and more full of energy these days it’s because of your community and your loved ones. You have the ability to embark upon goals that before seemed out of reach. And because of the support of your community, the resources that they provide, you will be able to accomplish these goals. The trick is going to be remembering to stay humble. It is so important right now to remember that you would not be where you are without the support of friends and family. Be truly thankful for their time and energy and for the gifts that they bring—always at the right moment. It’s easy to get caught up in doing and checking items off your list and being “important”, so try to stay in the moment and really appreciate the magic that community is bringing into your life at this time.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You are building your future, did you know that? And I don’t just mean knowing it in a philosophical or theoretical sense. I mean do you really know it with your gut, with every act throughout your day? For the next while you will find that you are not so afraid to be yourself, to let your opinions be heard, and to share with others your passions and dreams. By doing so, you will be creating relationships and connections that could last you the rest of your life. Sure, you’re a Cancer, and you are still going to keep some inner realms of your being hidden from the world, but the difference now is that this action is more strategy than reaction to a hard world. You want something specific and you are not going to let anything take you off track. So use this horoscope as a sign from the universe that it’s okay to continue to share your beauty with the world, to claim the path that you are on, and to let others recognize you for the talents that you possess.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

I feel for you, Leo, I really do. This time is as difficult as it is beautiful. You are blossoming into a whole new phase of your life and there is much innocence and wonder of experience, but there is also a lot of responsibility. Whether you are bringing together different elements of your being to work together in synergy, or you are a spoke of a wheel in larger endeavours with others, you are having to shoulder more responsibility. So sometimes the days will feel really long. Sometimes it will feel like you are fighting an uphill battle and that nothing you do is good enough. But other days there will be a synchronicity and magic that seems to follow you around wherever you go. And when you find yourself faced with complete unknowns, lean into them. It’s okay to ask for help and it’s okay to get frustrated, but it’s not okay to give up and walk away. I know you won’t, but it’s good to keep reminding yourself that all this hard work is going to pay off in the end.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you are almost there. Right now things are happening at a rapid pace and sometimes it’s hard to keep up, and even harder to stop and take a breath. But that is exactly what you must do. Your dreams and goals make you feel like an outsider, don’t they? You don’t often feel that there is anyone out there in the world that you can truly relate to, especially right now with the specific goals that you are trying to achieve. Don’t give up though, because those dreams are going to help you through a rebirth, they are going to be the foundation upon which you grow as a person. So take time alone when you can, look deep within yourself and feel with your gut. Feel what is right and reaffirm the reasons why you are on this particular path at this particular time. Soon, the tumultuous floods of spring that are creating chaos within you and within your life will subside and the summer sun will break through the clouds. Just don’t let go of those dreams, whatever you do.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Your challenge these days is going to be not giving in to negativity. Take a deep breath and hear me out. Have you ever heard of the stance of joy? It’s when you stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground and raise your hands to the sky. It is said that in this stance once is incapable of succumbing to anger or negativity. This stance, whether metaphorical or actual, is the one that you need to take in order to face the challenges being presented to you at this time. There is opportunity for joy where you least expect it, all you have to do is stay open. I know that there are circumstances and people around you that are making it hard to feel light hearted and positive, but if you allow yourself to remember that your relationships are mutually dependant and that others need space to live up to their full potential, you will be able to move past the negativity and establish even deeper connections with those you love.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Ok, Scorpio, it’s time to really take a look into that moonlit pool of inner truth and own up to what you want. It’s time to really take control of your life and stop allowing circumstances and the opinions of others to blow you around. Think about how you move about in this world and what you want that movement to look like. How do you want to be seen, and how is your movement connected to your inner truth and the dreams and goals that you have? Are these to parts of yourself (your dreams and your everyday reality) connected or are they polarized and distant from each other? If you can connect these two aspects of yourself you have great potential to realize your goals at this time. But you can’t be lazy about it. You have to gather your courage and own what you really want and who you really are and dance those truths out into the world with every step you take.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

This time is all about going inward, dear Sag. You are being asked to calm the storm within your heart and soul and to tap into the shaman or the seer within you. Take time for meditation, for walks alone, for art or for writing. Stop fighting with the world around you, for you alone are responsible for your reality. You cannot blame the world for the circumstances that you find yourself in right now. Instead, you need to take ownership and work to create change. This work must begin with you. You need to gather your strength and find your inner safe place. And this can only be achieved by calming the chaotic thoughts that keep you up at night. If you make meditation part of your daily practice, if you take time to write down what you are thinking and experiencing, what your goals are and what you need out of life, you will find that those sleepless nights become less frequent, the knot in your gut will loosen, and the anger in your heart will fade away.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

The next few weeks (or months) are going to be a little bit frustrating for you, Capricorn. This is because you are so close to the time when action will be required, but you’re not quite there yet. You’re going to feel all ready to giddy-up-and-go, but every time you try to make a move life is going to throw a wrench in your plans. But don’t give up hope, and don’t let this frustrating time discourage you. Instead stay focussed on your goals and the inner dreams that are blossoming up within you. Learn to listen to signals from the universe that will tell you when the time is right to take action. The distance between then and now is actually shorter than you think. All of the lessons you are learning by being smacked down by the world are extremely valuable. They will give help you cultivate the strength of character you will need to face new challenges in the next phase of your life.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You have deceived yourself. You have painted a picture of the future that is simply not in line with reality. Realizing this fact is going to cause you a lot of sorrow and inner turmoil. However, it is time for you to see the reality of the situation. And the reality is that you are either in opposition to yourself or to someone else. You thought you were acting with the best of intentions, you thought that the fantasy you created was the most beautiful and supreme example of how things should be, but it was actually ignoring all of the things that really matter. I know this is hard to hear, so allow yourself a few tears of self-pity and then pick yourself up and find the courage to truly reflect on yourself and the situation. Pray for openness and understanding to others and to the truth of the situation. Don’t allow yourself to be deceived, by yourself or others, anymore. Think of the emotional and physical health of everyone involved and tap into “right” action to the benefit of all.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

The situation you find yourself in is not insurmountable. In fact, it has come about because it is helping you to tap into lost secrets of the inner power that you possess. It is also encouraging you to find playfulness of action; the ability to remember that the situation is not dire and it is not the be-all and end-all of your existence. Stay alert and aware, pay attention to the details and to the nuances that are telling you a story behind the scenes of your everyday reality. The tasks that lay before you are best resolved by following the example of water: take the easiest route. Don’t over complicate things through overthinking. Do what is necessary and stick to tried and true methods. Pay attention to your gut and to the revelations you receive from your “higher self”. And every once in a while remember to walk away from whatever is causing you frustration and stress. Take a deep breath and remember to smile.

Horoscopes for Feb. 1 to Feb. 15, 2018

Prayer for Fulfillment. Photo by Tamu Miles

So, you’re in a real hurry to see results, are you? Things aren’t happening fast enough? You’re sick of just trying to keep your head above water? Well, get used to it.

If the last couple of months have taught us anything, it’s that we all still have a lot of learning and growing to do, and even though we may be on the right track, we are not going to get away with things being easy.

Patience is required.

The way to fulfillment, the way to brining abundance into our lives, is to pay attention to the details, to remember that we create our own realities, and we need to take time to listen deeply to the silence that resides within. Just because you’re running really fast, doesn’t mean you’re going to get anywhere.

This means that we still have to be vigilant. We can’t spend too long in self pity or in thinking we deserve to spend money or laze on the couch for two days straight. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, if you fall into this thinking/behaviour, shit starts to hit the fan real quick. All of a sudden there’s a million problems to solve, not enough money to take care of reality, and too much work to do.

So when you do take time for yourself (which is always important) make sure that it includes sacred time and introspection and that you budget how much money you really can afford to spend. This is important to remember.

Also, be patient with yourself, your process, and others around you. Stay in your integrity and try not to react. Instead, try to maintain a broader perspective and remember that you will eventually accomplish abundance and the ability to not-have-to-stay-on-top-of-it-all-the-time.

In the meantime, accept the lessons the universe is tossing your way. You don’t have any other choice.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You are venturing into uncharted territory, Aries. Please keep this in mind. You think you know, but you don’t. You really have no idea, and when you try to assert yourself, to claim that you do know, you’ll find that you are only met with negativity. Things won’t go right, you’ll hurt yourself, you won’t get the resources you need. That kind of thing. So stay grounded in your big picture, the wider goal, and remember that in the minute details of everyday life you must embrace your innocence, and assume nothing. Ask lots of questions, look for new ways to solve problems. Try not to get lost in thinking that the world is against you. Because that’s not it at all. You are being asked to shift your perspective so that you can achieve your goals. And one other thing. Be really careful with money and energy resources right now. Don’t buy what you don’t need, and don’t let others take what you can’t give.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Out of all the signs, you have it the easiest right now. You’re in a current state of “go with the flow and let the universe take care of you.” However, it’s not all just sitting back and enjoying the ride. You also have to walk with gentle footsteps, with honour and gratefulness. Each time you experience love and playfulness with others, send out a prayer of thanks and take a moment for reflection. If you do so, then you will be able to ride out this period of impermanence with safety and ease. For eventually you will find your footing again, but right now you don’t know what direction you’re headed in, and that’s okay. Don’t listen to people who try to make you think “practically”. They don’t know your process. It’s important that you explore and taste many different experiences so that eventually you can choose which one to build your foundation on.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Your instincts are right. Now is the time for action. Those plans you weren’t sure of or that you had put on hold, now is the time to act on them. But keep a few things in mind: First and foremost, get creative. Have fun with the process and flex your creative muscle. Second, let yourself feel what you need to feel. Don’t try to push away difficult emotions or experiences. Instead face those feelings head on and learn from them. They are your body and your soul trying to tell you something. And third, strive for balance. Remember you can’t have it all at once—everything has a natural cycle—and be balanced in your response to the world and to other people. If you keep these three things in mind and do your best to actively walk them into your life, those plans you are enacting have a better chance of bearing fruit.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

There is so much possibility open to you right now. Doors are opening left, right, and centre. This is all part of the adventure that Self is taking you on at this time. You’ve earned it. You’ve put your time in and worked your butt off, and now you are ready to create and realize more of your potential. If you find that you have more energy these days, thank the Earth. She is sending you energetic resources, she is working to keep you full so that you can accomplish your goals. The only thing that you really have to watch out for is not feeling too sentimental or “useless” when things and people that no longer serve you begin to fall away. This is natural, so you need to let it happen. If you try to follow those things or people, to hold on to them because of sentimentality and obligation, you’ll only get stuck in the past and miss the opportunity to grow and create a beautiful new stage in your life.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

It’s really important that you give yourself time to dream over the next while, Leo. The dreaming will help you see a clear path to the future and bring back hope to places inside you that no longer had the ability to. It will also help you feel the totality of Self within you, help you feel more whole and not fragmented and thus harried in your everyday life. To help you calm the chaos in your mind, pretend that you are able to erect an energetic protective shield around your body and your psyche. Set clear boundaries with others and don’t feel guilty about taking time to yourself, perhaps hibernating away from the world for a while. You need to allow yourself to see things for how they truly are, instead of through the lens of stories you have told yourself or other’s perspectives that you have bought into. This dreaming thing you’re doing, it’s self work, it’s not laziness.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

If you feel a push inside that tells you that you are capable of more, listen carefully. This knowing is not wrong. You are more than the mundane workings of your everyday life, and you do deserve to realize your potential. So if you have been thinking of going back to school, seeking out new employment, or travelling, know that you are on the right path. To help you realize your goal, keep a few things in mind. Pay attention to the details. “The drop which brings the cup to overflow is a tiny one—but one generating tremendous effect” (Marlies Holitzka). Have patience with yourself and with the process. Things take time and you’ll probably have to jump through a lot of hoops before you get where you’re going. And finally, don’t follow the same old, tired ways of doing things. Get inventive, seek out other’s ideas and opinions, and have the courage to jump outside of your comfort zone.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You can’t do anything about anyone else’s reality. That’s up to them. I know you long to co-create, to be part of a larger community and share ideas and goals—and that will come—but right now you need to be aware of how you are weaving your own life. You need to walk what you talk and live what you preach, otherwise you run the risk of being a hypocrite, or being seen as unreliable and untrustworthy. Those relationships you want to build, they will take time and you will have to earn the respect of those you want to engage with. It may feel like you are being reprimanded by the universes, it may even feel like you are being forced to hash through old issues, and both are at least a little bit true. Move your ego out of the way and do your best to practice humility. By doing so you will find the heartfelt connection you long for.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

We all know that Scorpio is the trickster of the bunch. Sometimes they can be goofy, like Capricorns are more inclined to, but for Scorpio it’s more about triggering open the places of denial that people hold within themselves. Am I right? Well, right now the universe and other people are going to be playing the role of the trickster, and they are going to poke you until you surrender to your own pain and eventual healing. Confrontation with yourself and others in your life is inevitable. The only thing you can do is prepare. Spend time alone with your thoughts and work to broaden your perspective. You’ve been seeing things with much too narrow and focussed a view. Lift your eyes to the skies and remember the possibilities.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You are creating a new vision for your life. You want change and you are confident that you know how to create that change. You also have access to the energy you need and the universe seems to be on your side. Things are falling together nicely. When you talk about your ideas with others, the conversations inevitably bring about magic in the form of connections and resources. Just remember to be gentle, okay Sag? Be gentle with yourself and with others. You don’t have to hold so tight to the perfectionist within you, you don’t have to maintain such unrealistic standards. Sometimes you just need to feel what you feel and surrender to what IS. Appreciate the moment and the beauty that can be found in gentleness.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You’ve got these plans, and you have gone over them a million times and tried to make everything perfect and ensure that all goes accordingly. And these plans are great and they are exactly the path you need to be on, but there are going to be a few wrenches thrown in these lovely little plans of yours. You’re going to have to be okay with going with the flow, and honing your ability to roll with the diversions that will spring up all around you. It’s important that you work with others, and not alone or against them. Watch yourself here, you’re really good at not communicating and thinking everyone should just know what you’re thinking. You need those other’s ideas, you need their help and their input, because they have just as much invested in your short term future as you do.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

An event in your life is going to create progress or change. Someone is going to seek you out, need your help, or have something to offer you. Others will come to you for your professional opinion. These encounters will set off an epiphany-like phase where you come to see the cause and effect of your life and how you can use this knowledge in the now and projecting into the future. Watch for clues, watch for signs, keep open to the wonder and synchronicity of the universe. Let one moment, one encounter, lead to the next in a natural flow that steadily builds momentum. People are really important right now as it’s the connections you make that are going to open up new doors to new possibilities.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

There’s no more time for excuses, Pisces. No more time for self-pity and being the victim. You want to see the universe work with you? Then get off your butt and do what you know to do. All of your ideas are good. Follow your gut, do what you know to do and don’t doubt yourself. Don’t let others get in your way, either. You don’t have to share everything that you are doing, and perhaps it’s best not too. Just spend time quietly creating and see where it takes you. You keep telling yourself to write up that bucket list, so do it. Write it in big letters and put it somewhere where you will see it every day. It will give you inspiration and give you the daily nudge that you need. Shit is still going to wrong, life is still going to feel a little like an uphill battle, but that’s just the times we live in. Remember to breathe and stay grounded. Everything is possible.

Horoscopes for Jan. 15 to Jan 31, 2018

Posted on January 15, 2018 by tamumiles

All Signs

Leo Blue Moon Full Eclipse Jan. 31

jan 2018 2

Photo by Tamu Miles

How many of you out there feel overwhelmed, like you’re drowning in a sea of responsibility and overstimulation? That’s what I thought, just about everyone. So keep this in mind first and foremost over the next couple of weeks: you are not alone. If you really take a look around you, open your perception to the health and wellbeing of your friends, family, and community, you will see that many people are struggling. For it seems that the more intense the world becomes, the more messed up and out of whack it is, the more we all seem to think it’s a good idea to take on more projects, more responsibility, and more distraction.

That is not to say that you shouldn’t keep trying, that you shouldn’t keep your chin up and look for the positive in every situation, nor that you should lose hope in your fellow human beings. It’s just that sometimes we make it harder on ourselves than we need to by distracting ourselves from the truth and the healing that needs to take place.

To try and help with this condition, the universe is sending a few helpful hints our way:

  1. Let’s just deal with the politics right off the bat, shall we? Every time you open your Facebook or Twitter app, every time you turn on the news, every time you sit down for coffee with friends there is another horrific story to take in and digest. To counteract the heaviness this inundation can create, try to remember three things: life is an adventure—everything that is happening is happening for a reason, face circumstances and events with as much grace and balance as possible, and let go what no longer serves you.
  2. Allow yourself to think about your long-term health and plan ahead in terms of what you need, what brings you comfort, what allows you to feel safe and cared for. This is also an energetic thing. It’s about gathering strength and not pushing yourself too hard, it’s about eating healthy and getting exercise. Life isn’t going to stop being a challenge this year, and some days are going to be harder than others. So don’t waste your energy on things that don’t nourish you.
  3. Bring your focus in. Set time to turn off your cell phone, not listen to the news, and to focus inward to your own heart and soul. Yes, it’s important to stay conscious of what is happening around us, but if you want to help reduce the sense of being overwhelmed and overloaded, this point is key. And pay attention to the little, seemingly insignificant details of your life. Be aware of where you place your feet and how you walk upon the earth. Pay attention to your words and how you express yourself. Be mindful of your thoughts and how they impact your sense of self and your perception of the world.

The Leo Blue Moon Full Eclipse on Jan. 31 will bring a massive amount of inner learning. What we will be learning is that we are ready to be who we want to be: to write that book, to take on that project, to travel the world, to move for that job or say yes to that relationship. We are ready to jump, but we don’t know it. However, before we can fully embrace this truth, we will have to also learn to set our egos aside. We need to be proactive instead of reactive. We need to take responsibility for the why’s of the circumstances for our lives and change those circumstances by dancing our truth and our beauty out to the world. We must learn to let go of fear.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Some big changes want to take place in your life right now, so stay open and receptive. For a long time you’ve felt like you’ve been fighting an uphill battle, but right now you have a chance to turn all that around. Things will fall into place and become easier. People will recognize your skills and talents and you will have the opportunity to take great strides toward your goals. Stick to your plans and don’t waste your energy on the little distractions that will try to run across your path on a daily basis. You know what is important—what you need to do for your big picture—so don’t let the petty little things stand in your way. And one more thing: allow yourself to really experience this time. Savour it, let it seep into all the places in your heart and soul that need healing and reassurance. 

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

You are nearing completion of a long-term goal of some kind and life feels a little tumultuous, to say the least. Life has turned upside down, you have so many things on your plate it’s hard to juggle them all. This isn’t a bad thing, in fact there are probably a good number of you that are thriving under this pressure, but if you are not enjoying the experience remember that it will not last forever. Whatever your experience, seize the day, seize every moment of every day. Reflect on the big picture; why you are on this path. Approach every task with the hands and heart of a mother caring for a child. Don’t be afraid to let out your playful side or to let go of the need to plan every detail. It’s okay to go with the flow and to view the world with a light heart.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Roll with the punches, dear Gemini. Keep your eye on the big picture and go with the flow. There are going to be those who try to bring negativity into your life, who try to tell you that you are doing things wrong. Don’t listen to them. And don’t listen to your own toxic mind chatter when it tries to tell you the same negative stories. Focus on the good, focus on what you have and how blessed you are. Remember that your goal is bigger than this present moment and will take time to achieve. Don’t give up on yourself when you have already come so far! So when shit goes wrong over the next couple of weeks, you need to seriously ask yourself, “How am I going to respond to this situation?” Are you going to lash out, crawl into bed and succumb to depression? Or are you going to take a deep breath and allow the negativity to roll off of you like water off a duck’s back?

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You have a lot to share with the world, did you know that? I know it doesn’t seem like it right now because you feel trapped by burden and disappointed by things that have not worked out or by people who have let you down. And I know it feels counterintuitive, but it’s these experiences that you need to share with the world. Harness your creative powers and dive into expressing yourself and what you have been going through. You won’t understand this until later, but you are being asked by the earth and the universe to be a conduit for other people’s pain. They need to see it reflected in your artistic expressions in order to learn about themselves—to forgive themselves—and to allow healing to take place.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

For some reason you are having to deal with a lot of people who want you to compromise yourself. These same people also have very narrow points of view. So trust your instincts. You will be able to navigate this time, and find success, through trusting in Owl medicine. Use the keen sight of Owl to see through any deception. Be prepared for the reality that by doing so, others might find you a little scary to be around. This is because you will be able to call them on their bullshit and see through their self-serving lies. It’s important to allow yourself to be this person right now even though it might feel uncomfortable; you might want to believe these people simply because you feel compassion for them. But if you let them trap you and make you compromise yourself, you won’t reap the bounty that is almost ready to harvest.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Want to find passion and joy? Look to your inner truth. Filter out and learn to recognize the blabbering of your overactive mind. Underneath this blabbering is where you need to focus. Your mind is going to try to tell you a lot of things over the next while and none of them are to be believed. Joy is possible. Passion is possible. Joyful passion is possible. And it all starts with what you really what, and who you really are. Go to that purity that Virgo symbolizes. Go to moonlight on still water. Go to purity of intent and heart. Say what you really mean and don’t compromise yourself. Doing so is scary, I get that. And that’s why your brain is going to come up with all kinds of excuses to try and talk you out of it. But please don’t listen. Joy and passion are waiting for you.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Stay humble. That’s the message right now. It’s going to be tempting to allow your ego just a little too much room over the next while because your self-esteem is going be boosted by the fact that the universe seems to be on your side. Financial gain and prosperity are possible because you are ripe with potential. People will want what you have to offer. This means you could land that job you’ve been hoping for, or your business is really starting to take off, or that money you were owed is finally paid back. In fact, it will seem like magic is responsible for all the opportunities that are landing in your lap. So I repeat: don’t let your ego get the better of you. The magic could stop just as easily as it began. Use this time of prosperity to give back to your community and thus maintain the reasons that others are so willing to give to you now.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Steady as she goes, Scorpio. The project you have tasked yourself with is going to take all the energy and resources you have. This is not only because it’s a big undertaking, but also because it means that other things have to die and fall away. You will have to let go of certain material possessions/people/ideas, and it won’t be easy. In fact you’ll want to kick and scream sometimes. You might want to curl up in your bed and never go out in public again. Allow yourself to feel these things, but then pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going. Oh, and another thing. Don’t buy any of the judgements and projections that others try to throw at you. You are doing the right thing, you are on the right path, and those naysayers are just projecting their own fear of following their own paths to glory and magnificence.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You are embarking on a journey of some kind; you are trekking out into unknown territory. This is cause for celebration! You see, even though you have an adventurous nature, you are not quite prepared for this particular adventure. This adventure requires you to rely on the loyalty of friends and family and you are going to have to trust the universe a little bit more than you are used to. So over the next couple of weeks, prepare yourself. Spend time going inward, perhaps even meditating, or at the very least getting out into nature. Use these times to calm the storm within you, to quiet the rambling of your mind. Get focussed on what you want from this adventure and why your heart and soul are reaching for change.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You can be a master and still carry innocence with you, you know. It’s not one or the other. You don’t have to be a serious monk on a mountaintop to prove that you are an awake and intelligent human being. To make this more practical for you, look at it this way: over the next while life is going to throw some challenges your way. You are going to both know, and not know, what to do when faced with certain circumstances. This will feel a little odd because usually you are so sure of yourself. So here’s what you do: pay attention to the details, for it is often the details that can change the course of history. And stay open. Open your mind, open your heart, open your perception. Be willing to learn and willing to admit when you are wrong. I know, I know, but even you can be wrong sometimes.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You have the perfect opportunity to reinvent yourself right now. For the past while you have felt like you have been sitting in limbo because things that had been part of your everyday reality are suddenly no longer there. It was a struggle at first; you had to mourn the loss of whoever or whatever those forces of stability were, but now it’s time to move on. So now it’s time to begin weaving your life from the inside out. Create! Create! Create! Be like  a spring flowers sending shoots up from newly awakened roots and allow the new you to burst forth into the world. You can be anyone you want to be, so choose with care and intent. This new you will bring you much success, so remember to stay humble and to give back to your community.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Your inner sun is beginning to shine much brighter these days. Have you noticed? You’re believing in yourself a lot more, and this is a good thing. In fact, it’s about time! You’ve been hiding in the background for far too long. However, though this is a beautiful process and should not be stifled, there are a few things to be aware of. First, you’re like a young bull in a china shop. You’ve discovered all this inner power that you didn’t know you had and it’s a little tempting to throw it around. You can break free of the shackles of oppression with grace. I know you know this, but you need reminding. The rebel you has had enough of the bullshit and can be very overbearing when she wants to be. So tame her a little, get her to see all sides of the situation and remind her that there are better ways to accomplish your goals than through brute force.

Horoscopes for Jan. 1 to Jan. 15, 2018

Posted on January 3, 2018 by tamumiles

Jan. 2: Full Moon – Wolf Moon

Moon in Cancer

All Signs

jan2018

Well, it’s the start of a new year, folks. I hope you’re taking a moment to set intent and focus on your goals the things that really matter to you. This full Wolf Moon being in Cancer is a powerful time as it will give you greater access to your inner knowing and a greater trust in your intuition and the gut response you have to life in general; the interactions that make up your everyday.

This year will be about how to merge your dreaming self with the laws and magic of the universe. It’ll be about shitting or getting off the pot. And it’ll be about realizing that much can be created/done/accomplished if we get smart with how we maneuver in the world. Everyone’s dream is important. Dreams are a signal from spirit about who we really are. However, many of us place our dreams on a shelf somewhere in the recesses of our subconscious because we simply don’t have the time or the resources to make them happen. This is the reality, especially for those who live day-to-day, doing what they can to survive. But for all of us, there is a point at which we must decide. Are we going to at least try? Once we have decided, we start to see ways in which we can make those dreams actually happen. Even small, tiny ways that might not look like they matter very much, actually matter more than we could imagine. Those little actions ripple out from the core and have an effect on the rest of our lives.

So, I know it’s hard. I know it’s an uphill battle sometimes. But I hope you decide to follow your inner dream this year. I hope you make the choice to let your brilliance shine through to the world. Remember to dream and remember to marry this dreaming with what you know to be true about the universe. To be practical and yet trust in magic and the endless possibilities that you cannot yet see.

As far as the next couple of weeks goes, here’s what to expect. On an outward level don’t do much. Now is not the time for extremes, and it’s not the time to make life changing decisions. This is because on an inward level, there is a lot going on. Expect to feel a lot, to be emotional, to have little things trigger you into sorrow. But the feelings aren’t all bad, in fact they are just trying to give you access to your own inner knowing. There’s an ecstasy that awaits us if we allow ourselves the quiet moments that will open us up to epiphany. Embrace Whale medicine, which, in First Nations cultures, represents the Record Keeper. Whale asks us to tap into the records of our ancestors and to listen to the Shaman’s drum, the heartbeat of the universe.

“We are the only creatures that do not have our own unique cry or call. Find yours. Allow your voice to use this sound to release tension or emotion. Whale signals a time of finding your origins, of seeing your overall destiny as (it is) coded in your DNA,” Jamie Sams and David Carson (Medicine Cards).

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You are in a state of learning, dear Aries. Responsibilities weigh on your shoulders and life in general feels intense, like there is no time to come up for air. Things are happening that are out of your control, and even though you want to be able to fix what is broken, change what isn’t working, and move on to the next phase of your life, you know in your gut that right now is not the time. In fact, it is a time of quiet observation, of standing on the sidelines and learning from the movement of life around you. There is no clear path to follow at this time, there is no right or wrong, no definitive answer to any of your questions. I know this is frustrating, but it is essential. Soon, if you allow yourself to really take on the role of observer, you will be able to hone your powers of prediction. In other words, by giving yourself the space to learn about your environment, you will gain the knowledge required to take action.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Take a lesson or two from that old Simon and Garfunkel song, “Slow down, you move to fast, you got to make the morning last”. Tap into your Taurus knowing and stay grounded; remember that good things come from practicing patience and perseverance. Your goals are more than attainable, but first you must have the courage to stop clinging to your past. Those stories no longer serve you; they are old and out of touch with current reality. And though you might take comfort in thoughts of the way things were, getting stuck in nostalgia means you do not leave room in the now for others to recognize your skills and talents. So have faith in yourself, my friend. Keep your chin up and remember that you are in this for the long haul. It’ll be worth it, I swear.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

If you want happiness, if you want joy, then it’s time to take control and make it happen. No one can do it for you. You might even have to get sneaky, perhaps a little devious, and trick others into participating in these acts of joy with you. If you can’t do this yourself, if you can’t listen to the lesson the universe is sending your way at this time, then your source Self will have to take control and trick you. Either way, there’s no more time for moping around and blaming all of your sorrows on anyone else. If you’re not happy, fix it. Search within yourself for the solution, and have the courage to take action. Yes, life can be hard, and it has certainly done it’s best to throw more than a few challenges your way, but how bad the situation is partly depends on your perspective. Deep down you know this. So be thankful for what you have and don’t make any more excuses. Get out there and conquer.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

There is movement, I promise. You are not stuck, you are not stagnant, and things are going to change. This is one of those phases where you have to have stamina, you have to remember that things take time and you can’t have it all at once. So pay attention to the small details, as they carry huge weight and could impact the outcome of things in ways you cannot even imagine right now. This means: be deliberate, remember the lessons you learned in 2017, stick to tried and true methods, and gather your strength and resources. Where you are going you will need to be refreshed and at your best. You need to take care of body, mind and soul right now. And not for one second should you contemplate surrender. You have come too far for that.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

I know you’re going to huff and puff a little, maybe stomp your feet and slam a door, but really, compromising isn’t all that bad. You know what I’m talking about, right? Yup, I’m talking about the fact that if you want to exist in that playful mode you’ve been seeking, you’re going to have to compromise a little. I know you think this compromise (admitting that maybe you overstepped your bounds with someone, or that perhaps there is another way to accomplish a common goal) will mean a hit to your ego, but really it won’t. In fact, it could actually end up boosting your self-esteem because you will have come from a place of true integrity by conceding to the other’s point of view. So let go of control over the situation and free yourself up to have some fun and dance the night away.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Whoa. Ok, are you ready for it? Are you ready to look yourself in the mirror and face some hard truths? Are you ready to concede that there are certain laws in the universe (like gravity and a mother’s love for her children) that cannot be denied? Some of these truths will be self-evident, and others will show you that there is so much more yet to learn, that you have yet to experience. If you are ready to strip the layers back and see yourself for who you really are, faults and all, then you will make space for regeneration. Your cup is waiting to be filled, and the universe is waiting to fill it, but it cannot do so if it has to try and break through the wall you’ve built in order to protect yourself. Look for signs in the world around you and be open to the lessons that are coming your way. What these lessons bring you won’t be half as scary as you imagine them to be, and 100 times more rewarding than you can envision.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

What do you love about this world? What gets you jazzed about humanity? What makes your heart overflow? These are the kinds of questions you should be asking yourself over the next while. Do an inner search to find the answers and make a list. Once you’ve made that list, you might get a little creative with it. You could write a story or an article, you could build or carve something, or you could join a group of likeminded people. Whatever you do, remember the purpose is to use your creative faculties to express all the things that trigger open your heart centre and restore your faith in humanity. Because this exercise isn’t about how you can affect other people, it’s about how you feel in your own heart and mind. So gather the discoveries you make close to your heart and use them to feed the parts of yourself that feel hopeless.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Tap into your connection with the earth. No, really. See feelingly down into the core of the planet each time you feel overwhelmed or stressed out. There is big change happening in your life. Things are suddenly shifting, as if a dam has been broken and everything that was stagnant is now alive with energy and movement. This is both exciting and terrifying as you can no longer hide behind excuses and procrastination. All this energy and movement can also make you feel like you’re alone at times, but this isolation is really an illusion. However, it is useful as a character building tool. You must take these next steps on your own and learn what you are truly made of.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Your faith in humanity is being restored. It’s like you are undergoing a gentle transformation, wherein your views are being slowly stripped away to make room for new perspective. This means that any sorrow you’ve been carrying around will be flushed out of your system. It might feel like this sorrow is thundering through you at times and that it hasn’t gone anywhere, but trust me, it is moving, and this is much better than it staying suppressed and ignored in some back corner of your energy field. To help with this process, open up to kindred heart. Whether this is a partner, a family member, or a good friend, it doesn’t matter. Let yourself trust that these people have your best interests at heart and that they are there for you when you need them. It’s not healthy to stay isolated and alone forever. Like it or not, we are social animals and we need to work together to solve the problems of the world.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Well, the universe might need to trick you into moving forward, but some wonderful things are waiting to happen in your life, dear Capricorn. You have the opportunity to realize goals and plans that have been ruminating around in your energy for quite some time, so take advantage of it. Don’t retreat just because you feel forced outside your comfort zone because rebirth is taking place within you. It really is time to jump out of that comfort zone now and see what you are made of. Get creative, have fun, and listen to your gut. But most of all, be brave. And keep in mind that if you are not able to summon the courage to do what you know us required of you at this time to change your life in the positive direction it wants to go in, the universe will have to trick you into being courageous.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

As long as you strip yourself of any illusions, you will be able to achieve the long-term goals that you have been preparing yourself and your life for. To keep a realistic view of things, tap into the feminine within you, the mothering energy that resides within us all. Yes, this means to be nurturing, but it also means to do what is right even when it’s not popular or comfortable to do so. It means think about the wellbeing of the group and not just in the individual (you). There is a lot of potential right now both in relationships and in work/career to create something that endures over time and that is fulfilling for everyone involved. Just make sure that the lines of communication are kept open, as with your eyes and your heart.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You need a new vision. However, in order to find this new vision, you are going to have to go inward and do some deep meditation. This new vision can’t be thought up in a day now, can it? You want a complete overhaul, an inspired thrust in a new direction, don’t you? Well then, pay attention to the signals the universe is sending you and don’t give in to your impulsive nature. Give yourself the space to imagine your future and learn from your past to create the present that you so desire. Be meticulous. Pay attention to the details and stay aware of what truly matters to you, both spiritually and in this material world of ours.

Horoscopes for Dec. 15 to 31, 2017

Posted on December 15, 2017 by tamumiles

All Signs

Mercury Retrograde Dec. 2 to Dec. 21

Winter Solstice Dec. 21

Well, 2017 is drawing to a close and it’s been another crazy year. Each year at this time we tell ourselves that the coming year will be better than the one that has just passed. Though there have been good things about this year, a lot of progress made on the inner levels as well as in our practical, daily lives, the energy just seems to keep ramping up year after year. We can’t really look to the next year to be “better” we can only look to it to be more. More intensity, more movement and change, more learning and growth, and more tumultuous discord in the world around us.

Dec15-30-2017

So as 2017 winds down and you find yourself thinking about your goals for 2018, don’t expect that the intensity will mellow out. Instead look toward being able to handle it better.

There are many good things that wait for us in our collective and individual futures. The growth that we have gone through is going a long way toward a profound realization about our existence. The knowledge, both scientifically and spiritually, that we are connected to everything, that we are essentially one with the universe and seeing ourselves as separate only does damage, will eventually bring us the harmony that we seek.

We are stripping ourselves of our illusions. The dialogue that is taking place about things like politics, the environment, equality, gender, violence, capitalism (and the list goes on), is an important one. As through this dialogue we reveal more and more of the whole picture to ourselves.

Don’t think that these issues don’t affect your daily life and your ways of thinking and seeing the world. Don’t think that you are not working these things out on a micro level in your community, social sphere, and personal psychology.

As the holiday season goes by focus on the magic that can be had through participation. Find a way to contribute your skills to the good of the group. Reach out to those who are in need, including other family members who may be ornery and bitter, or struggling with addiction, or pulled into the pits of depression. Focus on the places where there is common ground and work to create a shared experience of wonder, and joy, and love.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

The end of the year sees a strengthening of relationships for you, Aries. It’s a time to allow grudges and anger to fall away and to remembering the good things—the memories and stories you share with others—to become the focus of your attention. You are also letting go of thinking that the only answer to dealing with the pain caused by others is to just look out for yourself. You want to allow your heart to expand, to share whatever wealth you have with those who are less fortunate. Look to the moon for guidance. Allow emotion, feeling, and vulnerability to have their moments within you. Don’t try to hide these parts of yourself from others as they are surfacing to help strengthen and deepen your relationships.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

The fear and anxiety that you’re experiencing about this time of year can be changed around, you know. It may be hard to see right now, but that fear and anxiety are coming from too much external distraction: too much to do, too many responsibilities, etc. Now would be a good time to delegate. Notice the talents that others have and engage these talents to benefit both them and you. Take some time to nourish yourself. You need lots of laughter, lots of time not thinking about work or about difficult situations, and lots of time alone reading on the couch or taking walks. You need time to breathe. Let other people take care of the holiday party planning and details this year.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

This holiday season wants to see you achieving joy. There’s a blending taking place inside you and in your relationships. A kind of beautiful energetic dance that you see in little glimpses in quiet evenings over a glass of wine and a warm fire. If you want to stop waking up the next morning feeling like something is off, like that beautiful experience somehow left a bad taste in your mouth, you’ve got to stop suppressing the little secrets you hold. They’ve got to come out into the open. You need to expose your whole self and allow for moments of true vulnerability. Come clean to your spouse about what you’re really feeling. Tell that client what is actually possible at this time and why. Tell that family member what has bothered you for years and why you haven’t connected. There will be joy waiting at the other end of these conversations. I guarantee it.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Any negativity you’re experiencing right now is of your own making. I’m sorry, but it’s true. You are using this negativity as a distraction so that you don’t have to dive into your inner truth. I don’t know why this scares you so much right now, maybe you’re just overwhelmed and tired from having to deal with so much change and growth throughout the year. But don’t sabotage all that hard work. Allow the change to complete itself. So instead of simply reacting to the negativity and perpetuating it with anger, face it head on. Tell yourself that you are ready to face whatever the universe sends your way and that you are not going to allow the negativity to distract you from your own inner truth.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Wherever the heart is concerned, that is where you should act. Follow that honey golden heart of yours and find success. You are seen right now as someone who can be trusted. You see others for who they really are and you don’t cast judgement. So stand up for the little guy, take steps to curb injustice, spend time with your family and loved ones and let your heart sing with their presence. You feel like you’re being guided to do these good deeds and to shower special attention on those who make you feel all gushy inside, and it’s true. It’s winter time and the sunshine of your soul is direly needed. Your actions will teach others about adapting to a changing environment to survive. Those who are stuck in a place of stagnation will see a way out with your light to guide them.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

OK, there’s too much happening all at once. You feel overwhelmed and stressed out, and even a bit disappointed as things aren’t going as you had planned. To remedy this situation and bring in new insight into your life you need to cleanse yourself. You need to eliminate distractions so that you can clear the muddy waters of your mind and replace it with clear energy. Maybe cut back on a few of the holiday plans that you’ve been roped into. Eliminate things from your list that aren’t necessary. Yes, this is the time of year for giving, but you really need to give to yourself right now. This isn’t selfish, it’s self-preservation. If you don’t lighten the load and wash your mind of the cluttered thoughts that have taken up residence there, you are going to go into the New Year feeling frazzled and drained and in a state of self-pity. So don’t do that, instead give yourself the chance to start 2018 on a strong, self-confident note.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You’ve decided that a change is what you need; to shed your skin and birth into a new phase of your life. This could be a move to a different home, or it could be that you have decided to travel. Whatever the change is, it signals a time of impermanence. For you, this process is all about the journey and not the destination. You want to absorb new ideas, meet new people, and learn about yourself through different perspectives. Your goal is integration. There are many different aspects to your being, your sense of Self—and you’ve noticed that not all of them are in agreement—and you want to bring those different selves into harmony.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You have decided to build joy. You are aware that this will be a gradual process, that it will take time, and that strength and stamina will be required of you. This is a breakthrough, Scorpio, and you should be proud of yourself. Nurture those seeds of cheerful composure and lightheartedness that are starting to germinate within you. They are more powerful and will have more effect on your life than you have any idea of at this time. It’s important that you be patient with yourself and with others. That you see the building of joy in your life as an occurrence that happens one step, and one deed, at a time. Give of yourself and work to inject joy into other people’s lives. Thus you will build this feeling in your own life.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The fear you are experiencing is only natural. It’s the kind of fear that we face when we are on the verge of a major breakthrough. Keep going toward the fear, as it is your key to the change you want. Your beliefs are going to be challenged and one by one they are going to be stripped from you. If you can allow yourself to go through this process, the magic that is trying to find its way into your life will be able to find you. This magic could come in the form of a new job, of new people to co-create with, or whatever it is that is that your heart has been longing for. Those aspirations have seemed way too daunting, haven’t they? Well, now is your chance to move past that mindset and bust through to one that knows you can conquer whatever you put your mind to.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Now is a time to be gentle with yourself and others. You will accomplish your goals, but not through force or arrogance. Let the world give to you right now, let your heart be filled by the gentleness and caring of others. Don’t force anything. If something feels difficult and stressful, leave it be for now. You need to gather strength and stay focussed on preserving what matters in your life. The need for action will come later, and you will need to be energetically prepared to deal with the drain it will place on your energy. So for now, focus on family, on laughter, on shared experience that feeds your heart and soul. Do what needs to be done to make your home a place of comfort and safety and allow yourself to truly nest for the next while.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You need to cleanse yourself of indecision. There are too many things on your plate, too many demands on your attention and if you’re not careful this could be the way you walk into the New Year. I know you need an answer; you need to know which path to take, but you will not find that answer as long as you are distracted and pulled in a million directions. You don’t need any more external information. What you need is silence and time for reflection and introspection. So remove yourself from the situation for at least a couple of days. Maybe you just need to take off in your car and go and stay in a hotel by yourself. Maybe you need to spend more time walking out in nature without a phone in your hand. In any case, do what you must to find inner silence. Let the answers come to you through inner clarity.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Trust the priestess within you. Trust the self that knows. You got yourself into this mess, whatever it may be, and you are going to have to get yourself out. You’ll need to come up with some kind of diversion to take the focus of unwanted attention away from you. You have done nothing wrong, you just, once again, bit off more than you could chew and allowed yourself to get distracted from your primary goal. Remember? The one you started off the year with? The one that was thrusting itself up through your being with passion and excitement? Yeah, you’ve got to get back to that goal. You know that all this other stuff you’ve taken on doesn’t really matter. You only took it on because you had a momentary lapse in belief in your abilities.

Horoscopes for Dec. 1 to Dec. 15, 2017

Posted on December 5, 2017 by tamumiles

All Signs

Mercury Retrograde from Dec. 2 to Dec. 21

SuperMoon Dec. 3

Winter Solstice Dec. 21

dec2017

Photo by Tamu Miles

Right when we are on the verge of breakthrough and success, we are being asked to pull on the reins and slow down. There is something we don’t yet understand about whatever situation we are facing. We need to investigate further, and once we’ve uncovered some hidden truths about ourselves and our approach to our goals, we will be able to move forward.

No matter what’s going on in your life, listen to your body. It’s trying to help you see where you are pushing too hard, moving too fast, and not working to go inward and solve the riddle that will help you figure out how to make your life more fluid and harmonious. In other words, if you get sick this holiday season it’s because you are not in alignment with what really needs to happen in your life.

Mercury Retrograde, from Dec. 2 right through until the solstice on December 21, is also contributing to the need to look to, and acknowledge, the dark side of ourselves. The solstice signals a time of change and upward growth, but Mercury shows us that there are things hidden in the background that need to be loved and brought out into the light.

The pairing of the Solstice and Mercury Retrograde can be made into a powerful transformative tool to replace mistakes/pain/resentments of the past with a new and intention filled phase in one’s life.

Use this time for all it’s worth. Work to heal, both yourself and your relationships with others and your work/career/life-path. Perhaps there is hidden resentment between you and a co-worker, or maybe your spouse has not known how to tell you about some things that have been really bothering them. Stay open to the clues that others are leaving you. If you pay attention, these clues will help you face and resolve these issues that seem to be blocking your ability to move forward with your plans. These plans will be all the more enriched because you will have found a new source of trust, strength, and stability within your relationships.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You’re learning that there are some things you just have to do alone. This does not have to be a negative. In fact it could be very positive. You see, it’s all in your response to the situation. There is a lot to learn and you’re probably feeling overwhelmed, but it will be well worth it in the end. You will be so proud of yourself for accomplishing this task on your own! Remember to take things one step at a time. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Exercise patience and remember that you are creating something new, something all your own, and you want to do the very best job you can. This endeavour will have a long-term effect on your life. It will provide a foundation on which to grow.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

This month’s adventure has been brought to you by the words Inner Truth. You’ve got it folks, you are going to discover all new things about yourself! You’ll be taken on a journey around your energy field and through your psyche to unearth hidden treasures of strength, resourcefulness, and a more wholistic perspective of Self/Humanity/Beingness.

These contestants are there to help you remember to actually use your hidden treasures instead of hiding them behind a veil of self-doubt. And what’s the prize on the line here today? Why, a completely new sense of self and a broader view of the world! Good luck to our contestants!

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Move with slow deliberateness. There is no need to rush things. Don’t make any decisions without thoroughly thinking things through. Oh, and avoid excess of any kind. I know this is boring, but if you get creative with your actions and your responses to situations, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. In your searching out into the world, keep your heart and will/intent open to abundance. Stay strong in your sense of self and your connection to spirit. If you do so you will find yourself infused with a bit of get-up-and-go that will keep you engaged enough to follow through. You just have to remember that everything you do must be done with conscious thought and consideration, like you are painting a masterpiece that will be put on display for the world. No hasty or rash decisions.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

There is a window open to exchange and partnership with like-minded people, but it’s only around for a limited time. Trust yourself and the circumstances that life creates for you. Seize the moment, and challenge yourself to bust through your anxiety and reach out to others, even if they are strangers. The universe will be working to illuminate these individuals for you, to make kindred heart more easy to recognize, so look for the signs. Something will seem different, they will somehow attract your attention, or you will just feel compelled to talk to them. Approach these situations with innocence and listen within for the peaceful silence that tells you that you are in the presence of Home.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You may feel like you are navigating in the shadows. As if much is hidden, waiting to be discovered. But it’s not a problem because your current super power is night vision! You are able to find what is hidden and bring it to light. Listen to your inner voice as it is trying to give you advice. Each decision must be carefully weighed as any one decision could be the tipping point that either takes you further from your goals or closer to them. No matter what’s happening, things are going to work out in the end. However, you have ultimate control on the specifics of the outcome and an ability to create either exactly what you want, or a close approximation. Is a close approximation good enough?

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

So you’ve gained a lot of perspective over the past while; you’ve matured and grown. You now know that the path to success lies in reducing every decision and circumstance down to its base elements. Be as careful with money as you are with your words. Eliminate all excess; if you don’t use it, get rid of it. Conserve your strength and draw upon the knowledge gained from the stories that make up your life. Use these stories to draw parallels with your current state, see where you have grown and where you are stagnant, and find new solutions to the daily problems that present themselves. You will find clues from the universe in these stories, even in the books you choose to read, and in the narratives that friends and family relate from their own lives.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You find yourself in a bit of a funny situation. Nothing is permanent, and yet you are building something of permanence. A glorious change is taking place. You feel a lot freer these days. Like you are able to dance your particular light out into the world without worrying about what other people think or how they choose to live their lives. In essence what you are building is a reservoir of experience that will help you find success at a later date. Right now it’s all about the journey from one world of experience to another. It is not necessary to rush toward your goals as doing so would only put them in jeopardy. The reward lies in the now, with everything you learn and everything you see.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Due to forces beyond your control, you can’t move forward with your goals right now. So instead of banging your head against the wall, take a step back and look at things logically. Time and universal laws dictate that your approach to life needs to change. You have learned from the past, gathered knowledge and advice from friends and family, but now you must go it alone. You need to access a different part of yourself, one that is not easily understood by others, but is so totally necessary to your happiness. This time of aloneness won’t last forever, but it is required. When you return to the situation and the energy has shifted, then you will know how to act and it will be in harmony with everyone involved.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

People are being very generous these days! They are showering you with gifts and praise. Everything is going in the right direction and feels in alignment. Nothing can change this streak you’re on. Or could it? Watch out for petty politics within your social sphere. Remember to access that place of silence and stillness within you every once in a while. Stay tuned into what is important to you and what you want your bigger picture to look like. You are working toward something, are you not? So keep humble and don’t involve yourself in idle gossip. Don’t let praise go to your head. Stay true to your inner vision and give back to the community and to those individuals who have continued to support you.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Something has triggered you into feeling like life is an endless cycle. You are obsessed with the idea that humanity just keeps repeating the past and has no ability to turn around and look at itself. While this is true, you can’t carry the burden all by yourself. It’s only causing you to experience fear and anxiety. You need to be gentle with yourself and others around you. Much of what needs to be done can only be accomplished through kindness and compassion. Actively create space in your life for joy, beauty, and abundance. On a practical note, if you find yourself depressed and you can’t explain why and you’re grouchy with your spouse and your children and you hate your job, you should consider the above. Examine why you feel like you do and change your attitude to one of gentleness.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Someone has disappointed you lately. You feel a little betrayed and angry. And I’m sorry to say that it’s not quite over. You have not reached the end. There is plenty of time to make amends and hear the other side of the story. Another way to think of it is like this: You are flying a plane and you are approaching to the runway. Turbulence has picked up and you are fighting to stay on course. And you haven’t quite realized it yet, but this other person will be the only one who can help you land the plane. You got this, I promise. Gather what you learn from this experience and store it away for another day. There is only more change on the horizon, and how you deal with this little road bump will influence your ability to navigate other road bumps in the future.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You are bursting out onto your own scene, kiddo! An inner and outer change is taking place and you will soon find yourself on a whole new playing field. Your experience of life is more tangible and full of colour than it has been in a long time. You have been here before, but this time you’re going to own your glory, right? This isn’t sudden transformation either. You’re just beginning to notice that you have taken on more responsibility, that the scope of things has gotten wider, and that you cannot use old frameworks to solve new problems. Don’t act with too much haste or force. Stay grounded in reality and the day-to-day demands on your attention. In this way you can take small, forward moving steps that find you suddenly in a whole new position.

Horoscopes for Nov. 15 to Nov. 30, 2017

All Signs

 

Sagittarius

As the year begins to wind down and draw to a close, we can reflect back on how much learning has taken place over the last ten-and-a-half months. We’ve been through a lot, yet again, and we have survived.

But more than just surviving, we have discovered that we are much stronger than we thought. There have been many moments, for some of us, where we just wanted to give up because there was no point in going on anyway. However, instead of retreating, we gathered our courage and strength and discovered a path to joy through our connections with our friends, family and co-workers. These connections have deepened and helped us to find new wells of inspiration. We have discovered that even though the world continues to spiral with negativity, we can find adventure in it. We can forge new paths of positivity and build something altogether different. Something that has never been seen before.

 

Change, we have discovered, is a constant. Especially in today’s world. We have to accept that and adapt, or we will not survive. But there are also no rules. We don’t have to be bound by the past, as long as we stay rooted in our integrity in the present. Learning to honour ourselves and the other has been a big theme this year. Pulling back and reconsidering our judgements and prejudices so that we may better understand how to proceed, to the benefit of all.

This has been true of large collectives of people, mass movements, right down to the everyday interaction you have with your spouse and children and friends.

We have spent the year learning what it means to work within a group. Those of us who already have experience in this area, who are already managers and coordinators, are teaching those of us who are just figuring out the potential and beauty of working with others toward a common goal. Finding the adventure that comes with co-creation.

This theme continues. Expect your world to be shaken up. Expect new and excitement, passion and purpose. Expect joy and co-creation. If this electric shock of change is not positive for you, if life is just delivering you one blow after another, take the time to consider your motives. Look carefully at the people you are connected with and analyze the relationships. Why are you doing what you are doing? And are you connected with the right people to achieve your goals and feel true connection with? If not, reach out. Explore. Take yourself on your own adventure to find the people and opportunities that will promote positive change.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

All of the complications you’ve been dealing with over the last few months are coming to a head and you will experience breakthrough. The energy will shift and you will be able to find new solutions. You still need to pay attention to the now without looking too much into planning the future. So while you are taking care of every day, doing the very best work that you can, let the future be an unintentional and exciting new adventure. Trust that good things are coming your way. For now, rejoice in the opportunity to bust through the stagnation you’ve been experiencing. Rediscover the joy that you experience from your career and the interactions you have with family, friends, and co-workers.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

There is a new-found confidence in your step. It’s not quite a swagger, because you are better than that now. It’s like you’ve matured into yourself, found that sacred inner balance of knowledge and humility. This is a beautiful experience. You’re heart is full these days. You smile easily, and you take joy in making other people smile. You feel refreshed and rejuvenated, like the breath of life is undulating in your cells. It would be easy to get lost in a romance, or to sit on your laurels and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. However, you must not turn your back on reality. Maintain your focus and your hard work, just allow yourself to enjoy life’s beauty and flow at the same time.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Have you noticed that you are continuing to move through a period of rebirth and growth? It hasn’t been a traumatic experience this time, has it? In fact, you are enjoying a surge of progress. Your business is doing well, there has been a new opportunity in your work place, or you’ve been able to find solutions to old and lingering problems with family members and loved ones. Continue to be gentle, to go out into the world with a sensibility that focusses on gentleness. Be inclusive, find the beauty in each and every person and work outward from there. Look to find the truth and to work toward truth in every situation. Things are changing for the better, and when you look back at this time a year from now you will be astounded at how much change has taken place.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Like an adolescent swan emerging as an adult with a plume of virgin white feathers, you have gone through a transformation. You have been touched with grace, meaning that you move out into the world having surrendered to the unpredictability of the universe while still maintaining a positive and open attitude. People are seeing this change in you and they are looking to make use of your skills and talents. So don’t be afraid to be bold. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and do things in a way that fit the moment, and not the past. Look to form new and long-lasting relationships and to reaffirm those relationships that have already stood the test of time.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

In order for things to go smoothly, you’re going to have to show some tact right now. No bold moves, sudden outbursts, or rash decisions. Stick to traditional ways of doing things and don’t try to experiment. There can be harmony and you can find a way toward it if you take the time to listen deeply to your gut. You can’t avoid what’s happening right now because it was meant to be. The current situation will force change, and your role in that change is to stay as close to your truth as possible. Not the truth that you babble to yourself in your head, but the truth that you feel deep inside when you listen to the Earth and to the universe.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Tap into your Woman self. Tap into that wild wise-woman inside us all. The one that is curious, loves to play, is accepting of others without suspicion or judgement. And she is also confident, bold, and ruthless. She will stand up for what is right and defend those who need her protection. I know there still seems like a long road of negativity ahead of you (Damn, this stuff just keeps rearing it’s head!), but real change can take place, and you can liberate yourself from the situation. Stay grounded in your own knowing and self-worth. Let things move as they must, but know that what you bring to the table is unique and required. If there are children involved, keep their best interests at heart. Celebrate what they need and what they can accomplish. Soon you will set yourself free and you won’t have to deal with the negativity anymore.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Face the world with courage and innocence. You don’t really know what is going on, and that’s OK. You don’t have to know. You just have to follow your creative instinct. You have to be willing to learn and to let go of the idea that you are at all experienced in the matter at hand. Look to others who have more experience and ask their advice. Seek guidance whenever you can. There is magic just around the corner. It’s waiting in the wings until you can truly, and courageously, put yourself in a state of vulnerability. To find harmony and peace of mind, you must allow yourself to think differently about things and to remove the cloak of your ego.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Nourishment. It comes in many forms. It is in the kinds of food you eat, the kinds of people you surround yourself with, and the patterns and practices of your daily life. It is in the land around you and the mindset with which you face the world. Look to nourish yourself and others. Bring the group (family, co-workers, friends) together through addressing what each person needs to feel nourished. In this way you will be able to achieve your goals. For these goals include the needs of the group and allow for co-creative efforts that accomplish more than could a single person acting alone. Honestly assess where you are in the transformation of Self that is taking place, and act accordingly. Don’t jump ahead too far or hold too tightly to the past. Neither will serve you in the now.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Everything is in alignment, but you must act with caution and integrity. Don’t let the good fortune that is coming your way stroke your ego and allow you to lapse into a place of greed. It’s one thing to gather and store resources for the future, it’s another thing entirely to hoard the good fortune for yourself while leaving the other out in the cold. Your life is a creative act and creation is a dynamic process. You must allow old forms fall away so they can reform into new synthesis. In other words, this is a practice in letting go and recreating in a continuous motion. The end result doesn’t really matter, what matters now is the process and how you deal with it. It’s best if you act with grace and humility.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You are approaching one of two things, either a new relationship or a new phase in an existing relationship. This is a beautiful and powerful time, but it can also be tumultuous and painful. Try not to project anything. Don’t think you know anything about what is happening or what is supposed to happen. Let your heart guide you with innocence. This is something new, and it should be honoured and listened to. If this is an old relationship that needs to rebirth itself, it is especially important that you don’t project past patterns or any pain that may have been caused. Allow the opportunity for a clean slate. Stay grounded in what you know you want from a relationship; the kind of connection that your heart longs for. You will see it matched in your beloved’s eyes.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Move slowly and with caution. Bide your time and allow events to unfold as they must. You don’t have a lot of control right now, but what you do have control over is your response. Act with self-discipline, moderation, and insight. There are secrets hidden in the background and they must be brought to light. And it is not just others that carry these secrets, you harbour a few of your own. Make no attempt to reveal these secrets until you are sure of your evidence. And act without malice, no one is at fault here. The miscommunication was a mutual mistake that now has the opportunity to be corrected.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Time will fold in on itself and you will find that things are happening rather quickly. You have a lot of opportunities open to you now and things could get quite confusing, not to mention overwhelming. However, the universe is sending you messages, trying to help you know which direction to move toward. Look for these signs while taking the time to come back to your centre and remember what is important. You need to be gentle with yourself and create space for this dramatic change to merge gently with your life. Listen to your body when it tells you that you need time alone and go out into nature when you feel called to do so. Though time has sped up around you, there is a way to stay calm at its centre.

Full moon in Taurus November 4

Change and re-birth do no have to be painful. In fact they can be magical, transformative and glorious as well. And right now we need to be open to that possibility or we’ll be in for a very bumpy ride.

Relationships and partnerships are being strengthened right now. Old, tired issues that stood in the way of growth, beauty, and joy are being stripped away in favour of new positive and constructive purposes.

With an attitude of wonder and playfulness, we find ourselves reaching to preserve traditional ways of being. Our core values have come into alignment with finding new and innovative ways to preserve family and health and well-being.

Our children come to the forefront of our experience. What they need matters most to us and we are dedicated to setting a good example for them to follow. But we don’t want that example to be laden with burden and seriousness. We also want our children to know that life is full of beauty and wonder. That the essence of life and being alive on this planet right now is to find joy in acts of discovery and learning. Even if you don’t have children, you will be drawn to causes and even policies and programs in you work and social life that help to strengthen and celebrate learning, health and opportunity for our youth.

Do your part to help dissolve, or strip away, alienating and egoistic feelings and motives in your relationships and in the community. Take an active part in finding solutions that benefit the entire group. And if you have children, or work with children, make a concerted effort to listen to their wisdom and encourage their uniqueness as both are vital to this world.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

In order to avoid having your ideas and your will stifled, you are going to have to get back to basics. Strip the issue down, one piece of information at a time. Someone has been lying to you or at least trying to avoid telling you the truth. At a soul essence, this person represents the part of you that feels like it’s juggling fire and ice. This person matters to you, there is deep and long-standing caring between the two of you. So it is very important to get to the heart of the issue and rid yourself and the entire situation of deception. And be aware that you might have pulled the wool over your own eyes because you didn’t want to see what was really going on. By being aware of this, you take responsibility for your own actions and stay centred in the knowledge that the relationship, project or situation is important and vital to your entire picture, dream, or goal.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Perhaps you need a little holiday. You need to distract yourself from the overwhelming pressures you feel. There’s just too much going on in your head, too much to be done, and too little time to do it all in. Your life, with all of its projects, relationships, challenges and general activity, is demanding your full attention which makes it difficult to think of taking a break, even for a minute. But doing so is so necessary so that you can refresh and rejuvenate. Just trust me, even if you take two measly days to go walk on a beach somewhere, you’ll come back feeling revitalized and ready to take on anything the world throws your way. You’ll find yourself full of new and wonderful ideas, and you’ll realize that the solutions to all of your problems has been right in front of you all along.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Someone you trust is telling you that you are breaking moral codes, you are acting inappropriately and not conforming to the norms of society. Or maybe it’s just the voice in your head. In either case, somehow, you are apparently in the wrong and you don’t like the feeling of familiarity of this whole song and dance. It’s important that you don’t get lost in it, though. Tap into that wise woman that resides within your being. What is her opinion of the situation? She’ll be telling you that what this other person thinks DOES NOT MATTER. You are the weaver of your reality, you are centre spider, and you must weave your life according to your own codes, moral or otherwise. When confronting disapproval for you actions there is no need to be antagonistic or defensive. Work toward solutions, while firmly standing behind what is right for you.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

In some form or another you have taken a leadership role. People look to you for guidance, they want you to delegate and be in charge of the big picture. This could mean being part of a political campaign, or it could be that you got promoted to a management position in your work place. Use this power wisely. Stay centred and focussed on the good you can do in this role. You have insight that others value, so now is not the time to doubt your abilities. Pay attention to your dreams. They are probably quite vivid right now and very related to your everyday experience. This is your psyche helping you work out problems on the dreamtime. Continue to see the world as your canvas and the focus of your life as the tools to paint it with.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You’re going on an adventure. You’re not very prepared and your pretty inexperienced, but you are going none-the-less. Don’t worry, this adventure was meant to be and the learning curve that comes along with it won’t be too overwhelming. It will help you see the world through different eyes; to gain perspective and shed your psyche of unnecessary and outdated ideas. This adventure also marks the beginning of something else, something more concrete and long-lasting. Are you building or buying a house? Are you in a new relationship or have you started a new job? Whatever the case may be, you are looking for long-term stability, even though you are only able to focus on the now. Don’t worry, this is how it should be. Trust that staying in the moment is the key to laying a long-lasting foundation.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Magic is coming your way, I promise. Magic here is defined as unexpected solutions to the problems you had no idea how you were going to solve. But first you have a little work to do. Number one: you’ve got to quiet the chaotic and negative voices in your head. You need to find time for stillness and introspection because you won’t accomplish much if you’re feeling like you’re being pulled in a million directions. Number two: stay in your integrity. Walk your talk, follow through, and be honest with yourself as well as friends and family. Your heart is in the right place, so just make sure your actions reflect that purity of intent.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

It’s a good time to begin new and even risky projects. But remember that you’ll have to have stamina and patience. As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Each brick must be carefully scrutinized before being placed. Guard this precious and sacred time. Protect the ideas that are just starting to flourish and the momentum that is just starting to be gained. At the heart of this project, endeavour or relationship is a dream that will, in time, benefit more than just you and the others who are involved. The effects will be far reaching and someday you’ll look back on this time and be proud to know that you contributed. So don’t be afraid to jump, all the chances are worth taking right now.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You’ve got too much going on. You’re going to run out of steam if you don’t take a close look at the situation and reduce your views down to fundamentals and learn to set boundaries. There are certain aspects of your work or home life that are trying to merge. A shift is taking place, and for those aspects to integrate coherently and without conflict you need to make sure that your personal boundaries are clearly drawn. You have great passion for your role in the situation or project and for the project as a whole. Let that passion shine through a bit more. Let others see why it matters to you so they might show you the respect you deserve and act upon your insight and knowledge.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

The key for you right now is cooperation. Through group efforts much more is accomplished than when a single person acts alone. This isn’t really a problem for you right now as you’ve sort of fallen in love with the group of people that you have been recently spending time/working with. They are good people who share your view of the world and who make you feel comfortable in their presence. Don’t be afraid to share what you know with them; the insights you have into the world and the project that you are all working on. These insights will be valued and they will have influence upon decisions that have to be made.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

It’s OK to feel enthusiasm and to get excited about something. Really, it totally is. Ride that wave of enthusiasm and let it echo out into the world around you. After a few months of trying to figure things out and work through a few difficulties, you feel back on track. You know what you want and you know how to get it. You feel as if nothing can stop you. Allow yourself to embrace the joy you feel in your work and where you are in your life right now. Don’t deny your sense of adventure and curiosity. And allow yourself to experience what can happen when you allow others into your life without prejudice or judgement, without preconceptions or suspicions. This is a positive and powerful time for you, Capricorn. Embrace it. You deserve it.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

There is cause for celebration. Things have worked out much better than you planned and you can breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, you’re not quite sure how things turned out so good. It feels like you just stumbled into your current reality and kudos and accolades are being directed your way. It doesn’t really matter how you got here, you just have to remember a couple of things now that you are here. First off, balance is maintained through equilibrium. Be aware of your emotions, but ride on top of them. Make sure that all aspects of yourself are being taken care of, that you are hiding nothing in the dark and leaving nothing behind. Second, use this prosperous time to gather resources for future use. Don’t go overboard with your spending and remember which relationships will be most useful to you down the road.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You’re in a frustrating situation. All of your attempts to realize your plans are to no avail. Don’t give up. These road blocks are not because of something you did, in fact they have nothing at all to do with you. So back up and try to look at the situation from different angles. You can create the change you want, but you might have to dress it up as something else in order to make it happen. It’s OK, a little deception isn’t going to hurt anything. And don’t worry, you won’t be compromising yourself through this creative problem solving. You’ve got the power of your own soul or Source behind you. So stop banging your head against the wall and getting frustrated. Think outside the box and work the problem from a different angle.

What if we thought of the mind as the A-Drive? And this A-Drive is where all the cool software runs; where our critical and analytical thinking takes place. It’s where we operate from on a daily basis as we go about living our lives.

Now think of your core, your solar plexus, as the C-Drive. This is where you receive information from your higher power, where you gather your strength from, and where your dreams and intent originate and emanate out into the world. But it’s also where you hold on to memory and where you are impacted by information from the outside world.

The ideal situation is for the A-Drive and the C-Drive to be working in harmony with one another, to be in alignment and sharing information back and forth. But this isn’t always the case, nor is it always possible. Sometimes the A-Drive just can’t deal with intense information.  Sometimes asking your A-Drive to process information—originating from the outside world, other parts of your body, or (*gasp*) from your soul, the universe, your higher power—is like asking your A-Drive to process the most difficult mathematical equation in the universe. Sometimes it just can’t deal with it. 

The second half of October is not going to be easy on our A-Drives. We are all going to need to keep our heads above water. Our minds are going to be working overtime, dealing with an excess of negative information from all directions. Our jobs will be to stay in the moment and with conscious determination bring in love, light, and understanding to each and every situation. Practice living every moment of your life like it is sacred. Like each action matters in some way to your health and that of your friends and loved ones.

Remember there is beauty in the world and that it’s worth fighting for! Even seek it out in your mundane job. See how your co-workers also want the best for this world. They may have different ideas about what that means, but at the heart of the matter they really do care. Take the same consideration with family and friends and the larger community in which you live. Seek to promote the best in everything.

By doing so, you can help your A-Drive process new and perhaps traumatizing information in a balanced and centred manner. This time is about transformation and about shedding the past and embracing the new. But in order to do so, we will need to face our demons and allow the proverbial shit to hit the fan. So bring your A-Drive in alignment with the rest of your body and the universe. And try to keep your eye on the future while allowing the past to slough off like so much dead skin.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You are giving yourself lessons in truth. Both inwardly and outwardly you are seeking to strip away deception and see things for how they truly are. In some respects it has taken you a long time to get here. You are an advocate for truth as a rule, but there are still many things that you have chosen to hide from yourself, either about you or about your life and your interactions with friends and family. Now you are ready. The deception feels like skin that is too tight and and must be shed. You are both student and teacher, so honour the child within you who is learning and healing, and honour the elder within you who is doing the teaching. Trust that you are ready to admit hard truths to yourself, truths that will set you free.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

So life is going to get a bit hard, but it’s OK because you know it’s all worth it. Success lies on the horizon, if you buckle down and keep moving forward. For the most part, things are going well. Do you want to know why? It’s because you have allowed your goals to be come infused with dream. That’s right, at some level you have allowed what you’ve allowed your innermost dreams to permeate into your long-term career goals  and your everyday life. For the next little while you might have to get a little tricksy, though. You know, jump through hoops and feint to the left when you’re really going right. But you’ll figure it out. Allow that dream element to continue to bubble and gurgle its way to the surface of your consciousness. And whatever you do, don’t give up.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

It’s time for cool silence and gentleness. Come back to your centre and find stillness. Approach everything with compassion and a desire to understand. Being the twin Self that you are, you are still struggling to bring together in harmony the opposites that exist within you. And because you spend so much time tugging at either end, you forget to sit at your centre. When you do this, you are responding from outmoded patterns and ways. You are fighting the old fight instead of finding new ways to look at things and to live and be in the world. So be gentle with yourself and others, and for goodness sake, put all your energy into finding and getting to know your centre, your inner place of silence.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

OK, Cancer, now is the time to really fight for what you want. Don’t let anything stand in your way. Well, actually you won’t have to worry too much about things standing in your way as you will experience recognition for your skills and talents and will have a pretty easy time recruiting people to your cause. New relationships and partnerships are more than possible if you approach others with consideration and tolerance. Spirit is with you, and it’s bringing with it a butt load of new ideas. So don’t be afraid to get creative with how you do things. Kurt Vonnegut once said, “We have to be continually jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.” It might be good medicine to use this as a mantra for your life right now.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Comparing yourself to others won’t get you anywhere. It will only deepen the uncomfortable feeling of inadequacy that has been gnawing at the edge of your psyche these days. Be patient with yourself. Give yourself time, and remember that you are new to whatever it is that you are doing. Try to keep your ego out of the way and approach the situation with spontaneity. Be honest with yourself about your feelings and take time to celebrate what you have already been able to accomplish.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

It’s time to take a step back. Gather your thoughts and establish where your boundaries are. Something has happened that has shed new light on the situation and suddenly there is a lot more data to take into consideration. Even by taking a walk at lunch time, or reading a book without the TV on after dinner, you will give yourself the little bits of time you need to access your own inner voice. Doing so will make it so that when it comes time to make a decision, you’ll do so with much more ease and confidence. Right now you need to gather and analyze data, think from your heart and the core of what you really want to do, and set boundaries so that others cannot take advantage of you.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

People are coming to you with their woes. They can’t help it, they feel comfortable around you and they can sense the ease of Self that exudes from your being. Try not to think of this downloading from friends and family as a burden. Instead try to see it as a chance for learning. You’ll be able to examine aspects of your own behaviour through the tales of drama related to you at the coffee shop or as you carpool to work in the morning. These opportunities for introspection will allow you to find answers about your own life that were previously hidden from you, and they will also strip you of any illusions you may have been dragging around out of mere habit.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The laws of spirit are not the same as the laws of humanity. According to First Nations knowledge, Crow, the symbol of universal law, sees the human interpretation of the supposed rules of both the physical and the spiritual world, as full of illusion. You will not be able to escape spiritual law at this time. Any illusions you carry about yourself or others will be swiftly shattered. You have to let go of the guilt you carry around inside you and learn to balance the polarities of your psyche. Even small decisions can have a big impact, so really think things through and only move foreword if you are sure of success. You will quickly find that decisions made with patience and scrutiny will bring you great reward.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

If you’re really listening to yourself you’ll have already figured out that the natural flow of things dictates that you take a step back. Give others a chance to shine. See them for their unique talents and help them celebrate those unique talents. Plus, this will give you time for meditation and introspection. There are too many directions and voices happening in your head and those voices need to be quieted so that you can once again find your centre and your core reasoning for being on the path that you are currently on. A few pleasant surprises await you as reward for carrying out this exercise. The universe knows when to use positive reinforcement.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You’re going to have to use your intellectual smarts as well as your spiritual smarts to navigate through the political intrigue that seems to be running rampant both at work and in your social sphere of friends and family. Access the deep wellspring of knowledge that swirls in your belly. This thinking is much wider and all encompassing than that thinking that your brain does and will help to keep you centred and balanced. However, you can trust that crafty brain of yours to come up with ideas and solutions that would otherwise be overlooked by everyone else involved. Keep in mind that you don’t really need to get tangled up in the politics. In fact it would be wise to protect yourself as much as possible from it. Your heart is a little vulnerable right now (needs to happen—explore this occurrence more) and it needs you, and others, to be gentle with it.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You’re looking for specific people, the right people, to do the job. Whether this is reaching out to friends and family to fill a role, or actively searching for new and unknown individuals to participate in a project, use caution. It is vitally important that you maintain integrity. Be adaptable, modest, humble, and considerate in all circumstances and you will loose none of your worth. Look for these qualities in others as well. There will be signs from the universe to help you stay on track. If something feels off, then don’t pursue it. And if you don’t stay honest with yourself and others, the universe will be sure to slap you upside the head.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Like Cancer, you have to fight for what you want right now. You have allies on your side, people who are vital to your ability to do what you are doing. Though there might be a power struggle occurring between you and this person or persons, you must work to preserve the core of the relationship and strive for harmony. There can be no secrets and no hidden agendas. Everything has to be put out on the table. If you really want to make this work, you can’t avoid dealing with the power struggle and bringing back balance and harmony to the relationship.

Horoscopes for Oct. 1 to Oct. 15, 2017

Take it slow and steady right now, people. Take the days one at a time and concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other. Life is going to feel chaotic and scattered, and our brains and emotions a little out of balance.

But that’s not all that’s going on, so try not to get lost in the cacophony of voices in your head and the confusion in the world around you. Instead look to put things in perspective. Think back to the beginning of this year. Where were you? What were you doing? Your current endeavour was new and overwhelming, wasn’t it? But you were full of energy and ready to take on the world. You were naive and didn’t have all the information. Quite often you ran into roadblocks and had to learn how to navigate around them. And look at where you are now. Look at what you have accomplished. You should be proud of yourself, you’ve made progress, one step at a time. 

But, you’re not quite home free yet, are you? The universe is showing you that there is still some learning to be had. It won’t be easy, and sometimes you’ll feel like giving up, and you’ll even wonder if it’s all been worth it. Just keep moving forward. Take it slow. Try to step back and try to see the big picture. Stay focussed on you goal and continue to settle into the new and improved you. For you are new and improved, and you should trust in the knowledge you have gained. The reward for all your hard work is on its way.

Stay rooted in the core reasons for what you are doing. Keep looking at the why of it all and make sure that the why matches up with the how. Allow the positive feedback from others to boost your self-esteem.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

It may look as though everyone has abandoned you, but this is just a trick, a lesson from the universe. There is actually a lot of loving energy being directed your way. A certain individual or group of people is trying to get through to you, they want to help you. The fact that you are resistant to this help is why the universe has to trick you. It has to use deception to lure you into places of vulnerability and sharing with those who care about you. Take hold of these moments and commit them to memory.  Use them to birth yourself into the next phase of growth. You will see that you have much more to contribute than you give yourself credit for. Your ideas and opinions are valued. Long lasting partnerships can be secured and co-creative endeavours embarked upon.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

I know you can feel it. It’s time to act. All of that energy you’ve been keeping under wraps can be let loose onto the world. You are changing everything. You’ve seen a new way to accomplish your goals and now you are renovating your plan of action from the ground up. Connect with like-minded people. Use those connections to gain information. Some of this information might be painful—it will strip you of any illusions—but it will help keep you on the right track. Think of yourself as queen or king of a vast domain. You oversee the big picture and delegate to those who have the necessary skills to accomplish the specifics. It would be unwise of you to try and micro-manage right now. You’ll only cause conflict and miss out on your chance to accomplish some important aspects of your larger goals.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

There is a lot of power available to you right now, so I suggest you make use of it. It’s time for a complete change, a revolution of the self. Your inner voice is speaking loud and clear, and you are sure about your direction and what needs to be done. This change will feed your heart and soul. It will breathe new life into your perspective, your projects, and your family life. There’s no more room for self-pity now. The learning you have acquired over the past year has settled into your bones and true understanding has been reached, even in the darkest recesses of your mind. Don’t hesitate, do what you know has to be done and trust yourself and the universe.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Here you are, trying to build the foundation of your future, and someone comes along and tells you that you don’t have the right building code. Everyone you ask about how to deal with the situation gives you a different answer and you’re left running around in circles. I’m afraid that all you can do until this time passes is stay in your integrity. Don’t experiment, stick with what works. Yet at the same time, stick to your convictions. Remember your long-term goals and keep working on that foundation for the future as best you can. The obstacles are merely politics. Don’t shy away from dealing with them, but instead approach them head-on with the intent to understand and resolve them. See how these obstacles or confrontations are interlinked with your bigger picture.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

By seeking balance in all your interactions and endeavours and in every conflict or obstacle, you will be able to transform the negatives into positives. You can’t sit still through this phase, even though the thought is tempting. It might seem as though the forces that threaten the realization of your goals are overwhelming, but they are not insurmountable. You need to act. You need to do what is right. But you must do so from a balanced perspective. Sit in the centre of your field of experience and stretch your awareness outward. Allow those tendrils to gently probe all possibilities and all angles, and when the knowing from this activity has grounded itself in your gut, take action. You have the power to turn all those negatives into positives, so don’t give up.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Something is going to happen that is going to shake up your world. It might be a shock, or at the very least uncomfortable. It’s going to affect everyone around you, like ripples out from the core. Your core. You are the fulcrum of this sudden change. Now, you could let yourself get all guilt ridden over the fact that your life is affecting others. But come on, you know better. Everyone involved needed the medicine that you are bringing them. You must take a leadership role as this change takes place. Stay grounded in your knowing about why this change has to take place. A change in perspective is required. Things were getting stagnant, stuck in the past, and were no longer appropriate.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Accept that those who are creating conflict with you are inexperienced. They see what you are doing as a threat because they don’t have all of the information. There is a way to create synthesis, and it’s not through resorting to anger. Instead, take a stance of acceptance. Show these people that you are not suspicious of them and that their view points are valued; you will listen to what they have to say. Celebrate who they are and what they have accomplished in their lives. Give them the support they need, and gently pass on the knowledge you have. Be a teacher and guide these youngsters with a gentle hand.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Those who are telling you how it should be done and who can’t find anything positive to say about what you’re doing, need to be ignored. You are a wall that has been battered by an eternal wind, and yet you still stand tall. You know the laws of the universe, and you know that your hard work will begin to pay off soon. So for example, say you are having a hard time in your relationship. Your partner thinks things can’t possibly work out between you because, as a couple, you are not doing things the way they “should” be done, the way everyone else is doing them. Don’t buy into this pessimism. Remind your partner of all of the beauty in your relationship. All of the beautiful things you have created together. Tell her/him about the visions you have of your combined and co-created future. Stay focussed on the positive and what is working.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

After all that positive energy a couple of weeks ago, you suddenly find yourself facing a difficult situation. No matter what you do, nothing is going right. Don’t worry, it’s just a lesson in impermanence. But it doesn’t have to be painful. You can ride out this time with joy, if you have the courage to do so. It’s so easy to get swept up into a head space of negative thinking. But if you maintain a positive outlook, if you search for joy in beauty in all things and allow yourself to accept the impermanence of the universe and the magic that is trying to come your way through change, you will weather this little storm. You are at the forefront of something, it’s kind of revolutionary; not many people understand it yet. This is a difficult time, but also a beautiful one. Take things moment by moment and one step at a time.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

So, you’re starting to get that the impermanence of the past while was important, even though it was painful. You have been offered a chance to do something that allows you to be yourself in a way that you previously did not give yourself permission for. Others are seeking you out, they want to make use of your skills and they see you as someone whose advice they can trust. Don’t get too excited, though. Try to keep a level head and to stay grounded in your own integrity and knowing. Scrutinize all of the details and make sure that they line up with your highest standards. Be cautious of becoming nit-picky and over analytical, thus losing the forest for the trees. And remember that it is up to you whether you create a positive or negative outcome.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Issues that you thought long dead and in the past are once again rearing their ugly heads. This experience is unpleasant, but it’s taking place because there is a lesson to be learned. Practice breathing and trust that you are being guided by your higher self. Maintain your reputation by following through on what you say you will do and sticking to your ethics. Show others that you are trustworthy by speaking from your heart and your inner truth. And in all circumstances aim for preservation. Family and friends are what matter. Everyone needs to be supported and loved. Everyone deserves enough food and to have a roof over their head. Fall back on your abilities to care for others. Small acts of kindness will help you later on down the road.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

So it’s time to step back a little. It doesn’t matter that you can’t think straight and nothing seems to be working the way you want it to. That will pass, I promise. Go out into nature. Meditate and spend some time alone. Make an effort to find your Will once again; the core of your intent. The sun that shines in your belly didn’t stop burning, it just needs you to remember that it’s there. As for all the confusing thoughts, the multiple personalities that seem to be roaming around inside you, let them do their talking and stomping and crying. Honour those parts of yourself by not expecting that you can get a lot done on a practical level right now. Turn to family and friends; those people who have showed you that they care and support you no matter what. Ask for their help and their advice. They have a lot more to offer than you think.
