What is the reflection you want to project out into the world? What is it you want people to see? Really try to visualize what you look like to another human being. What kind of energy do you emit out into the world around you? Are you someone who is inviting to others? Do you contribute ideas and positivity energy to your community?

Now, what others perceive of us is not what we should ultimately worry about, but the exercise can help illuminate what we really want from our lives; what we long for. So if you take the information gained from visualizing what you look like to others and try to align it with the deepest awareness you have of what it is you want out of life, and who you are in this world, do they match? If not, why?

We are all going to experience, to some extent, an examination of all of our faults and foibles over the next while. This self-analysis will be good because it will start to open space for growth, but in it we must remember to be gentle with ourselves and with others. We must remember what compassion and empathy mean—to look at someone and see their inner beauty before passing judgement.

Much can be accomplished right now if we all face our truth with integrity and intent. It’s a good time to engage in projects, to work toward family goals, and to work through issues that have sat stagnant, trying to be forgotten.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

There is a power struggle happening somewhere in your life. You feel bound and muzzled by someone else’s idea of what is right. There is not much freedom to move or make decisions. Underneath you know there can be harmony, that there shouldn’t really be a problem, and that you and this other person are dependant upon each other. This could be a spouse, or a business partner, or simply a really good friend. Don’t be afraid to engage this other in a cooperative dialogue to seek resolution. It’s important to examine your own attitudes so you can find mutual understanding. There is an opportunity, through the working out of this power struggle, to bring the relationship to a new level. You might find that the two of you discover just how much you can accomplish together if you can come to see each other as equals.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Just hold off for a while. Whatever it is you have decided to do, you need to put it on hold. It needs to be revisited and all the excess fat cut away. Somehow there is too much going on: too much money being spent, too much clutter in your house, too many decisions to make. In short: there is an excess of things you don’t need. To help you gain perspective and sort out what to keep and what to get rid of look to the moon, too moments alone at night. You’ll get lots of these moments as you won’t be able to sleep, I’m afraid. But try not to get frustrated! Instead, realize that this is your body’s way of saying that you need spend sometime in that realm of half-sleep so your subconscious and sort things out.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

I hope you’re experiencing the joy that is trying to come your way, Gemini. Life is a moment-to-moment experience for you right now. You’ve shed a lot of the sour perspective that was clouding your vision of the world. There is a lot to be thankful for, a lot to nurture and watch grow. And the more you radiate this positive view out into the world, the more you will receive exactly what you need at the exact moment you need it. Expect that things will fall into place and that synchronicities will happen. Keep an open stance; stay open to people and experiences. Life by no means is getting easier, I understand that. However, watch the evidence prove itself to you as you settle more and more into the knowing that what you put out into the world is what you will get back.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

It seems like everyone else is a step ahead of the game. And at the same time, weird and frustrating things are happening, like your car will break down, or you’ll miss your bus, or you won’t be able to find that vital piece of paper. And then something magical and unexpected will happen and everything will get figured out even better than you had intended in the first place. Notice that each time magic follows tragedy you have somehow been able to calm your mind and let go of the stress. You have been able to identify what first filled you with anxiety and caused things to mess up. This is the beginning of a breakthrough for you. Soon, those moments of distress will no longer have control over you. So let the universe keep tricking you into self-realization and continue to ask for guidance.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Just pretend intend that you’ve got this all under control. Respond to the situation from a centred and balanced place. Always take time to go breathe and cool down when something frustrating happens. There is no way to make it all happen exactly as you planned, so be careful, and do things one step at a time. The most important thing right now is that you take time to feed and nourish your heart and soul. I know it doesn’t look like it, but there is a flower blossoming in your energy field. Something new is growing. Whether this is an understanding about life in general, or the birth of a new project, honour it. Consciously treat yourself and others as a midwife would treat a pregnant woman. Make sure you are eating properly and getting enough exercise, too. A whole and balanced approach to life is very important right now.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You feel isolated and removed from the group. Your heart is heavy and you’re having a hard time finding a way out of any complicated issue you may be dealing with, and even out of your state of mind. It’s imperative that you try to gain a different perspective; you are not really alone. Look at your life and where you live—the people you know—as if you are a tourist. Pretend that you haven’t ever seen or experienced any of it before. Be truthful and honest with yourself about how you feel and try to strip yourself of any self-serving or narrow minded motives. Because something is off kilter. You’re not seeing the brilliance that exists, the opportunity for joy and open hearted exchange. You can’t carry all the worry all by yourself.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Man, you are really worried about everything right now, aren’t you? Every option open to you looks daunting and overwhelming. Well, I’m sorry to tell you this but . . . you’ve got to face that fear head on. Every time it rears its ugly head, that’s a sign saying: MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION! Your body and heart want to cleanse you of some sorrow. Pay attention, notice that every time you get triggered into fear there’s actually a memory that opened old wounds and loss within you. I know it’s hard for you to do, but you’ve got to reach out and be vulnerable with friends and family. Ask them for help and let them be there for you. Listen to their advice and let them help you access the energy and strength that will eventually take the place of the sorrow.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Your dreams are really vivid right now, aren’t they? Your psyche is working overtime and you should pay attention: those dreams do have meaning. They are a direct reflection of what’s happening in your everyday life. You’ll come to understand that all the road blocks that keep springing up on your path are of your own design. Yup, you heard that right. And not only that, but you’ve been running this same stretch of road for some time. It’s time to choose a new path. Have courage and trust in the universe and in your own abilities. Don’t coat your previous decisions with regret and self-blame because that won’t help at all. You didn’t do anything wrong, you had to take the path you did in order to learn what you are learning now. And that learning will serve you well in the future.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

There is some wonderful magic happening in your life, Sag! Your dream is crystal clear in your mind, isn’t it? (If it’s not, you need to do some work clearing the cobwebs so that you can see.) Let your dream/vision guide you. Your actions will bring about new possibilities, new people, and powerful and glorious synchronistic happenings. The current success could trick you into thinking, “this is it, I’ve made it and I can sit back and relax now.” Please don’t do this. You must continue to work hard and move ahead. Stay focussed on the details and make everything exactly as you envision it, no matter how much work is involved. This is your dream, and you need to claim it. And it will, if you allow it, connect you with like-minded individuals who could turn out to be soul mates, too.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You can’t hold on to anything right now; nothing is permanent. Both inwardly and outwardly you are travelling or moving, and you are not going to be able to take everything with you. You’ll have to let certain people and things go. This is hard, yes, but it is necessary. Each person has their own path and you can’t compromise your path right now for the sake of another’s. You have a chance to allow your life to be an expression of art and to access a wellspring of magic that you didn’t know existed. You need these new experiences. You need to challenge yourself with new situations. You need to meet new people and through them gain new perspective. Give yourself this gift, even though right now it might feel like a sacrifice.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

This is a time of learning for you. You might be going back to school, starting a new job, working with a new group of people, or figuring out how to cope with the fact that your innocent children have suddenly become teenagers. Whatever it is, stay open to it. Don’t cloud your perspective with assumptions and projections. You truly know nothing about your current situation, so the key is to absorb as much information as you can. This learning will lead to a revolution within your being as it blossoms and becomes knowledge which brings with it new possibilities and responsibilities. It is not wise to act in haste right now. In fact you are not required to take much action at all except that of active and engaged learning.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

It’s like the perfect storm is happening within you, except that it’s not destructive. In fact, its very productive. Remember that you are in this for the long run. Whatever you are doing cannot be created over night, but it will have long lasting benefits to your life. Just keep that in mind. And access the Woman Medicine energy within your being. This Woman Self knows how to take care of others, and how incite trust through acceptance without suspicion or judgement. She also knows how to work hard and stay aware of all aspects of herself and the world around her in a whole and balanced manner. In whatever you are doing, stick to tried and true methods, experimentation will only complicate things and hinder your ability to see steadily growing results over time.

Horoscopes for Sept. 1 to Sept. 15, 2017

All Signs

Mercury Retrograde Aug. 12 to Sept. 4

Sept1-2017

Photo by Tamu Miles

What if we all just got creative with our responses to the world? Don’t you think that a united effort would bring about real and lasting change?

Like, say we started to calm the fervour of righteous emotion we’ve all been feeling for the past while, and chose to embrace the long and steady pace that is needed to accomplish both our individual and collective goals?

There are a lot of projections being thrown around. We are all clamouring to be heard, and many of us are not doing the research that would allow us to see the issues with compassion and from every angle.

Every change takes place through the laborious task of examining and re-defining each piece of information—through the hard work of moving every metaphorical brick. It’s a gradual process that in time can be looked at to see its breadth and depth.

Cowardice and impatience are no longer tolerated by our inner beings or the universe. We are tired of our own shit, and we’re ready now to start looking to the beauty of the moment. We can start to see how we can weave our lives differently—with more integrity and compassion.

So try to look at the world from a multitude of perspectives. In every situation that you find yourself in—whether dealing with getting kids to do their homework or reading political editorials on Facebook—seek to find balance. Always look for the different point of view, always delve deeper and ask more questions. Always wear your heart on your sleeve and remove the mask of cultural training.

Ask yourself these questions: Why can’t we do things differently? Why can’t we teach ourselves a more conscious way to live? When examined, all of our “logical” reasons turn out to be hollow, uneducated, and self-serving.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

All those times you gave of your time and energy to others? Well, those people are starting to return some of that energy to you now. There is a feeling of peace that can, if you let it, flow into your life if you embrace the grown-up version of yourself that you have resisted for so long; the wisdom you inherently carry that no one can take away from you. Let that wisdom, and subsequent peacefulness, wash over your heart. For what you are learning is that there are good people in this world. You must do the work of recognizing your gifts and talents so that you can cleanse yourself of alienating and egotistic feelings and motives. Give of your talents, your time, and your heart. Find a charity, or just act in your community, but respond to those who are in need. Be generous in your close relationships and allow your heart to Trust Fall into the arms of those who have proven their love for you.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

There are a lot of people out there who are just mean and spiteful, aren’t there? Take heart, Taurus. Don’t let them ruin your day. There’s a lot more going on for you than these people, and though you don’t see it yet, they are actually teaching you some valuable lessons. So try to maintain emotional equilibrium. Acknowledge your feelings, but instead of ignoring them, skim the surface and remain alert. If you do this you’ll notice there is in fact a joyful horizon beyond the ocean of doubt and confusion. You can utilize this energy or feeling to really gauge where you are at in terms of work or career at this time; the people you work with, the kind of work you do. In other words, if you are not experiencing joy from your work right now, then it’s time to own what you really would like to do and move in that direction.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

It’s time to declutter! Go rent one of those huge garbage dumpsters and start chucking out everything that no longer serves you. Of course I’m talking metaphorically here. However, you might find it beneficial to actually go through your stuff and get rid of things that are no longer used, things that just take up space, or things that signify holding on to tightly to the past. But don’t forget to focus on the internal stuff. Chuck out beliefs and expectations that are only holding you back. You currently are surrounded by a group of people who respect you and would love to work with you. Let their energy feed you. Let co-creation be your gateway to your Source Self. Harmony is what you wanted, and this is your chance to help create it. Walk your talk and respect yourself so you might continue to be seen as a person of integrity.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You’re sick of paying attention to the details, of being examined by others under a microscope. You just want to let yourself get lost in something or someone beautiful. Be careful, as part of this urge is an instinctive response, one that tries to convince you to escape the mundane and the burdensome realities of your daily life. But you’ll only bring yourself sorrow if you act without integrity, and you know it. So instead, use your insight to see the truth of the situation. Let your inner eye focus so that your solar plexus and heart can align. There’s nothing wrong with delving into pure and unrestrained beauty, in fact it is required every so often. Just stay conscious and don’t lose track of what’s important when it comes to the big picture.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

The universe has been scheming. Like a witch in her garden, it’s been brewing potions. Only, these potions aren’t meant to harm you, in fact quite the opposite. You’re heart wants to overflow with love for your friends, your children, your parents, your grandchildren. You want to be thankful for what life has provided you with and for others to experience the same feeling. But you are the reluctant apprentice. You’re not quite sure about this open your heart and soul stuff. However, the universe won’t let you get away with maintaining your wall of safety any longer. So expect to have your heart cracked open. Expect to receive when you’ve only known how to give. (I know you’re not one to accept help, you’re much too independent for that, but spirit has its ways.) So keep your eyes peeled! The universe is a master trickster and it (YOU) will find a way.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

It’s time for action. Things feel like they’re crumbling down around you, but you’ll soon find out that isn’t the case. It’s all a story you’ve woven because you’re afraid to face your fears. So follow your instincts and do what needs to be done. Know that everything is in alignment and you do have help on a spiritual level. Everything you are doing, whether you are conscious of it or not, is being guided by your Source Self and your subconscious. Acknowledge the child in you that is crying in the corner, but don’t focus your attention on her/him just now. That Self is just the part of you that doesn’t believe you can actually do what you’re attempting to do, and your job is to power through and prove her/him wrong.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Things are looking up—you’re gaining influence in your sphere and being recognized for your talents and achieving success. However, there is one small compromise that must be made. It’s just a little deal with your Self and the universe, so no big deal. Wanna know what it is? OK, here goes. At this time you must agree to stay open and receptive to your feelings and those of others. In terms that you can perhaps better understand, this means listening to all the little voices in your head. It means you won’t get away with ignoring warning signs about your health, you won’t be able to get away with pretending you didn’t see that someone was offended by what you said or that your actions caused them pain. It means that when you are triggered into healing some emotional damage from your past, you won’t be able to stifle it until it has no other choice but to explode in your face. Do you think you can live with that? The benefits will be well more than you can imagine.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Right now you have the ability to create and hold space for others and allow them to enter into your life without judgement, preconceptions, or suspicions. There is an open gateway of possibilities and you have entered a period of increase in your life. It’s like you are surfing the crest of a wave. You are able to stay just one step ahead of the competition and you have insight into current trends. And all of this came about because somewhere deep inside you decided that it wouldn’t be so bad, for just a minute, to at least try trusting in humanity again. How cool is that? And as an added benefit, you’re starting to see the talents of others and how these others contribute to the whole.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You’re spending a lot of time comparing yourself to others: your appearance, your job, and even your family. You have a bad case of “the grass is always greener”syndrome. Those you admire have left you feeling a little less than adequate. But how can a seed compare itself to a tree? And what difference does it make what other people are doing as long as you are doing what makes you happy? Your family is actually your saving grace right now. They will give you the feedback you need and will boost your ego and your self-esteem. They will give you reassurance. Another saving grace will be to spend time alone doing what brings you joy. You need to recharge your batteries by energetically soaking up nature and the love your family gives you. Their love will empower you to take action when the time is right.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Spirit is cautioning you against making any rash decisions and to watch out for extremes of any kind. Tap into your inner Buddha. Find that place of calm, open consciousness within you. Move slowly, but with intent. In other words, don’t compromise yourself and stand up for what you believe in, but use as few words as possible. If you are not completely confident of your knowledge on the topic you want to discuss, then keep your mouth shut. Act from the heart and make sure that you are thinking of the health and well being of all of everyone involved. Look to fine tune fragmented or unbalanced places within your soul, psyche, personality, and emotions.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Over the next couple of weeks, you’ll just have to surrender to the fact that you have no tools to deal with what’s going on in your life. Something is going to happen that will strip you of all the illusions you held about a specific person or situation. For a while you’ll be stuck in a kind of limbo, not knowing what direction to turn. But this feeling will pass. The stripping of your illusions is in fact a transformation, and to a large degree the changes you experience will take care of themselves. Suddenly you’ll find that you are somehow different, and it won’t be a bad experience. You’ll have access to a whole new universe within your being and epiphanies will be hitting you left, right, and centre.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

OK, so you’ve popped out the other side and started to believe in yourself again. This is awesome. You’re willing to experiment and think outside the box once more, and you’re willing to engage with others. This is good because it will mean that through valuing the talents of others you can lighten your own workload. This participation is bringing you much joy. It gladdens your heart and restores your faith in humanity. But don’t rest on your laurels. There is still a lot of work to do and you need to stay on track. The time for rest will come soon, but it’s not here yet. So get busy, and use your re-found self-esteem to break the mould and do things your way. This is the only true way you are going to create the magic you see in your future.

Horoscopes for Aug. 15 to Aug. 31, 2017

Solar Eclipse August 21 — Visible in most of North America

Mercury Retrograde Aug. 12 to Sept. 4

leo

All Signs

Even though Mercury went retrograde on Aug. 12, and will continue to effect our lives until Sept. 4, the end of August is set to be a beautiful time in our lives. Not only are those of us in the Northern Hemisphere at the height of summer, but there is something beautiful moving within the deep, quiet places within us all.

Change is taking place; a shift of perception. This change brings with it excitement and passion. It’s like we’re all charged up on the connection we have with the universe, the earth, and our own Soul or Source. Instead of facing this life with cynicism and anger, we are being shown that much more can be accomplished through playfulness, innocence, and loyalty. We are becoming bored with old ways of doing things, of fighting against the “other” instead of embracing their pain and intending for healing for all.

However, if this excitement translates into major and traumatic upheaval in your life, please listen closer. There is great potential here, and your Soul (or your psyche and subconscious) are trying to fast forward your ability to step into the next phase of your life. You haven’t done anything wrong, but if the shit is hitting the fan you are in denial about something. You have decided that the easy route is more appealing that sticking to your convictions and doing what is right and what will see you through in the long-haul. You have closed yourself off to loved ones, or you have denied inner healing that needs to take place.

So, everyone, go see that counsellor, open up to your loved ones about what you are going through, face ALL the issues head on! See your inner being, however you define it, as the most beautiful and pure and knowing and creative part of yourself, and learn to honour that Self by really listening to it. This Self is weaving or moulding your life from a wider perspective, and it/you has a beautiful vision for what this should look like.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

By not allowing yourself to be deceived by others, and by facing all of your dark little secrets, you will lift that burden off your shoulders. You think you have to carry it all, but you don’t. That thought process comes from a lifetime of being let down and having to be independent. There is opportunity right now to work with others in a joyful manner. To find that space within yourself that knows that greatness comes through joy. I’m not saying you should trust every Tom, Dick, and Harry that walks down the street. What I am saying is that you can use your own discerning powers to gauge who to let in and who to pass by. Learn from past experience and read the signs.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Your still in a time of introspection, so even though that fire is starting to once again smoulder in your belly, don’t yet fan it into a flame. Instead, you would do better to contemplate those coals and discover a little about yourself in the process. The compromise that you are having to make is really for your own good. You and the other party can’t see that right now, you’re both sort of begrudging of this whole ordeal, but you will in time. To feed yourself the energy and connection to spirit that you need, look to bodies of water. It doesn’t matter how you do it—boat, swim, catch a fish—just get yourself some water time. You need to drink the soul food that water and nature can provide.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

OK, back away. What’s going on is not your fault, but you don’t need to engage. Don’t worry, you’re not running away, you are merely giving space and protecting yourself until it’s time to take action once again. Take this opportunity to continue to work on breaking down old parts of yourself—old beliefs, prejudices, and judgements—to make room for the new and improved you. You hold so much more knowing and beauty than you realize. Please embrace that you have no idea what’s going on and you must learn all over again. You are truly dealing with the conundrum of your sign: amalgamating the twin Selves of your being. So anything that you feel strongly opposed to, or strongly in support of, look at your motives. Why do you feel so strongly about these things? Are you in opposition to an aspect of your own longing? Or are you in opposition to another person because of an emotionally triggered reaction? In both cases common ground will need to be found.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

From your solar plexus down, stretching way down to the core of the earth, you are in alignment. All you have to do is work on bringing your heart, throat, third eye, and higher self centres into this alignment as well. If you can surrender to this, if you can get your will to communicate with your heart and your head, things will flow and come together. And as a bonus, you will receive a much needed boost to your self-esteem. So, take this opportunity to get creative with how you want things to unfold. Project your dreams out into the world. See life for the canvas that it is. Through this act, see that you are cleansing out many dark places that only needed a touch of vitality and light to transform and heal. Sing your song, dance your dance, laugh at the moon! And think outside the box, cause that’s where the magic really is.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

At this time your superpower is the art of deception. You will use this superpower to navigate through the completion of a project or relationship or certain phase of your life. This superpower cannot be used for evil, for if you do try to take advantage of others you’ll be slapped upside the head by the universe. However, you will need this superpower to navigate through the many multi-faceted layers presenting themselves to you right now. There are a lot of details and all of them need to be scrutinized. For strength and guidance, look to the moon. Pay attention to your emotions; don’t dismiss them. Let feeling move when it has to and learn from what it tries to teach you. You might want to take note of the fact that your superpower will not let you deceive yourself. It will force you to deal with your own inner demons head on. So if things start going haywire, remember that it’s just your superpower telling you to wake up.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

I know you want to put your head in your hands and cry because the issue or situation just keeps going on and on and on. But please, don’t give up. Pay attention to your dreams, they’re trying to show you ways to access the synthesis that already exists in the situation and remind you that you are in a state of gradual progress. Things will improve over time, and really, they’re not as bad as you’re making them out to be. You’re just a little tired. So give yourself the self-care that you need. Talk things through with friends and listen to their advice. See your goal as a beautiful creation of your own design, one that is being woven in the depths of your belly. You’ll note that this dream is not quite ready to be born into the world, and when it is the energy will shift it will just happen.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You’re distilling, that’s what you’re doing. You’re boiling yourself down to your pure essence. This feels a little scary, for sure. It seems like you have to keep letting things go. However, if you only focus on what you think you’re loosing and let that freak you out, then you’ll miss the opportunity that is being presented to you. You’ve planted some seeds and they’re germinating and starting to send out roots and pretty soon, if you have patience and breathe through your fear, they’ll send out little green shoots. Protect these seedlings. Be Mother Earth and send yourself the right conditions to grow. You need love and sunshine and lots of water and sometimes that deep, dark night where the Self just exists under the moon.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Break through that hard, cold ice that sits atop your ability to flower and grow. Shrug off the oppressing forces that stifle your voice and restrict your actions. Make space for yourself out there in the world. Use your shapeshifting abilities to move through different social spheres, to connect with the right people, to be at the right place at the right time. There is a powerful shaman within you, one who always seems to see right to the heart of anyone or anything. Don’t be afraid to let this shaman in from the cold. The first thing that he/she will tell you is that you are not alone. You think you are, and you like to perpetuate this illusion, but you’re not. People care more than you think they do, and they, too, have suffered and wear the scars of life.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

So if you want to complete this cycle in a whole, true, and satisfying manner, listen up. It all depends on you. How you conduct yourself, how you respond to others, the choices that you make (even the small ones), are all very important. Move with grace and integrity. Accept what the universe has thrown your way and deal with it one step at a time. Look at all angles and keep your perspective wide. Caution and careful consideration are advised in all your actions. None of this means that this time is inherently negative. It is, at its heart, powerful and full of potential. You will walk away with a greater sense of Self, you will feel more completely YOU. Try to think positive and work toward opening communication with others.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Remember that Mercury is Retrograde right now, so things are going to be a little wonky. I know that emotions are running high and it seems like your heart has taken this opportunity to explore and examine all the things that have caused you sorrow in your life, but through this sorrow the universe is trying to teach you something. First it’s trying to show you that all those tears you feel like shedding are there to water the fertile soil of your future endeavours. Second, it’s teaching you that all those beliefs you have about yourself that tell you you’re not good enough and you’ll never reach your goals, are just illusions. They’re stories you’ve told yourself over and over and over, and now they’ve become toxic to you and they need to be composted. So let yourself feel whatever it is you need to feel. Don’t apologize to yourself or to others for the tears you have to shed. Look toward the future with hope and an open heart.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You want to give back, you want to show your appreciation for friends and family. This is awesome. Just be aware that spending money isn’t the way to go. There are other ways to show your love and besides that, you need to be careful with your finances right now. Allow connection through one-on-one, open hearted interaction with others; through striving to create true harmony. Learn to bite your tongue when you have to and don’t engage with the political aspects of your social sphere. You don’t need to involve yourself in the affairs of others. However, if you are caught in the middle of conflict (by your own doing or someone else’s) you must seek harmony at all times. See the good in others and work to build their self-esteem and self-love. By doing so you will also receive a much needed boost to your own sense of self-worth.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Some people don’t want you to be doing things the way you’re doing them. They feel you are a threat and will try to make you feel morally incorrect. Whatever you do, don’t cower and retreat. No. You need to keep believing in yourself. You need to keep doing what you are doing, and moving in the direction that causes these reactions, for they indicate that you are doing something right. Not only that, but you are also moving closer and closer to your future Self, toward realizing your dreams. Trust in the universe, it has not steered you wrong before and it won’t begin now. Gather the knowledge you are gaining and store it away for later use. Believe me, all of it will come in handy on some future rainy day.

Horoscopes for Aug. 1 to Aug. 15, 2017

All Signs

Lunar Eclipse, August 7 (Visible in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa)

Total Solar Eclipse, August 21 (Visible in North America, Central America, and Northern South America)

Whoa! Two eclipses in one month! A lunar on August 7, and a solar on August 21. And yup, you guessed it, there is going to be a lot of emotion flying around.

The energy of this lunar eclipse is all about releasing anger to make room for receiving the harvest that naturally comes from hard work and perseverance.

Basically, life is going to try to trick you into realizing the harmony that already is present.

Let that sink in for a second. The harmony and peace you are longing for has already been created, you just have to align yourself with it. To get there, you will need to move with grace, thoughtfulness, and an open heart.

You might be justified in your anger, whether it’s directed at a spouse, a boss, or the general state of the world, but reacting in anger won’t do you any good. Instead, listen to the universal Mother within you. What is her advice? I bet she’s telling you to channel that anger into building the good you want to see in the world. Into choosing compassion over aggression, and into creatively solving the problems that arise in your everyday life and in the world around you.

But she will also be telling you to see the world for what it is. Don’t get trapped by your own illusions or the false stories that others might try to spin. Be brave enough to act on your dreams, to do what you feel, to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF. See your anger for what it really is: an inability to 1. be who you truly are or fit into this world, and 2. to make a career out of what truly makes you happy.

What all of this really means is that the lunar eclipse is teaching us to be alert, cognizant, and aware of ourselves, our environment, and the people that make up our communities and our world.

To be truly aware is a funny thing. It means that we have to see all sides of the argument, that we have to take the good with the bad, and we have to maintain balance. Right now this is extremely important. We are flooded with negativity and intensity on a daily basis and for some it’s hard to stay positive, and for others the only solution appears to be lashing in order to protect some sense of security and stability.

We’re still stuck in old ways of thinking, and to some extent all of us are carrying around prejudice and judgement about the “other”. But our souls aren’t going to let us get away with this anymore, and in some cases we will have to be tricked into seeing the bigger picture, or the other’s point of view. We will be forced to face our prejudice and see that we are in fact no different than anyone else. These lessons might be a little painful at times, but if we learn from them we will achieve greater harmony with our surroundings and with life in general.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Your ideas and effort are starting to bear fruit. You can feel that you are ready and that not much can get in your way. You are full of energy and get-up-and-go. The only issue will be that of quieting the multitude of voices in your head. Take time for meditation and quiet, for listening to your own knowing. This will help you stay on track. It will help you to make the right decisions instead of ones made in haste and out of a false sense of urgency. Use this time wisely. You want to keep building on what you have already worked so hard to achieve, so don’t burn yourself out. I know if feels like you have an endless supply of energy, but if you don’t eat right, get enough sleep, and have time set aside each day for you, all that work could end up being for nought.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

OK, time to pull back. You need a rest and you need to be gentle to yourself. I know you already know this to be true, so there’s no escaping it and pretending that you should just keep going even though you’re exhausted. Besides, there are a few things that you need to mull over in your quiet time. A few issues that need you to tap into your inner knowing in order to deal with them, to allow your subconscious the time and freedom it needs to work them out. Plus, the sunshine in your belly just needs to be able to rejuvenate itself. It’s burning a little low these days, and you want to be able to give your all, don’t you?

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

The period of breakthrough continues for you, Gemini. Drink deep from the water of life that is filling your soul at this time. You feel more playful, you can see the positive in situations where once you only saw negativity and defeat. You are learning to change that attitude, you are starting to understand that even when there is opposition or confrontation, there is a way to find resolution. This doesn’t mean that you are supposed to run away from confrontation. It means that you have to face it head on, get to the heart of the matter, and work toward change and reconciliation. Use your breath when you feel overwhelmed. Consciously breathe in the life force of your soul and the universe and breathe out negative and self sabotaging thoughts. Do your best to stay positive and open to spontaneity.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

OK, listen up. You have the power and strength to accomplish a lot right now. So how are you going to use that power and strength? The universe is trying to send you messages. Have you received them? Do you know what they’re about? Let’s see, have you been hurting yourself more than usual lately? Being a bit more of a klutz? Have you been tired? Have you been unnecessarily grouchy with others? I bet you can guess what I’m going to say. That’s right, you need to slow down. You don’t need to plunge so headlong into what you are doing that you forget about self-care. Plus, this is a delicate time and you have to handle it with care and integrity. Treat the dream inside you with the respect it deserves. It’s up to you alone whether you create a constructive or destructive effect.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

So I know you’re thinking, “how the hell am I going to make this happen when this co-worker/family member/friend is making things so difficult for me?” Well, you can do it, that’s the main thing to remember. But in order to do so you’re going to have to surrender to the fact that this other person is part of the equation. They are here, whether you like it or not. Without them, you cannot achieve your goal. You are going through a transformative phase. When the transformation is complete things will look very different than they do now. And trust me, you will find yourself enjoying the harvest that is owed to you. However, you can’t get through this alone. That person or situation that is blocking your path is essential to the outcome. Your soul is finding new expression as you learn to temper the strident individualism (or “independence”) of your nature.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Lately things have been a little strained and difficult, but that is about to change. Suddenly there is an ability to put aside differences and seek common ground. Things that were not achievable before because of stagnant or blocked energy, are now within reach. Communication will open up and you will be able to put your energy toward constructive and positive purposes. Part of the reason for this change is that you have been able to look at the situation with fresh eyes. Something has changed your perspective in that you no longer see the situation as set in stone. There are a multitude of reasons for another’s behaviour and you have realized that you should not assume to know what those reasons are.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You wanted to create magic in your life, right? You wanted to shake things up a bit, force the universe to surprise you and help you believe in the wonder of it all, didn’t you? Well, the universe is responding. The key to accessing this magic is to seek inner truth. Assume nothing. Try to free yourself from prejudice when judging situations or people. Allow a free exchange of ideas and be open to the validity of another person’s truth, even if you find yourself hard-pressed to accept their version of reality. Your soul is working hard to temper you ego. Once you really get this you’ll be able to see the magic the universe is sending you and you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you come to understand how real magic is delivered.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

I know you’re thinking, “what the fuck is going on?” You were on a roll, things were looking good, and now you are having to deal with issues you thought had been resolved ages ago. It might help if you think of this as just another level you have to conquer before you can advance. This current level involves letting certain parts of your life, your belief systems, and perhaps even people and situations, fall away. There is a cosmic reordering taking place on a soul level. It is forcing you to make space for a realignment of the many different aspects of yourself. The parts of your Self that are polar opposite are trying to come together to create something new. This doesn’t have to be a painful process, in fact your Source Self wants to bring you abundance. The eternal YOU want to show the human YOU the benefits of accepting and integrating all that you are. Any pain you are experiencing comes from your unwillingness to let the old die away and the realignment of self take place.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Others are going to continue to seek you out because of the unique talents that you possess. However, you might have to set them straight as they might be a little confused about what it is you do or know, exactly. Don’t get scornful or uppity (don’t let your ego bully its way to the forefront of your personality), as these people are genuinely seeking wisdom and help, and they have turned to you. So respond to them with compassion and by tapping into your true inner knowing. Centre yourself and make sure you access your own divine consciousness before espousing knowledge. And remember that even though this time may be difficult in some ways, it will bring you much beauty in return. What you put out will come back to you. Right now you are encouraging spring growth so that you can see fall harvest.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

The laws of the universe require that you do some letting go right now. Let go and let be. Your only “job”, as it were, is to protect what truly matters. Things like family and the innocent. And by that I mean don’t get lost in the superficial. How much you possess, the things you own, the house you live in, the car you drive, all of these things don’t really matter. What does matter is the pure tenderness of heartfelt connection, the feeling you get when a kindred spirit touches your soul. If you remember these things, then you will be recognized for your talents and great things will be possible. You have an ability to move between different social spheres, to bridge the gaps that exist in perception and understanding. Use this talent for the greater good. Use this time to forge new partnerships and create a lasting foundation for future endeavours.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

All your old ideas about things (relationships especially) are too narrow and have become archaic. You already know this, but now the trick is to let all of those ideas and beliefs fall away so that rebirth to take place within you. Be gentle and kind with those you love and in every situation in your life. Allow compassion and empathy to be your guide. You will notice, if you do this, that you are actually be gathering strength and resources. Those others will fill you with something you didn’t even know you were lacking, and this something will be exactly the resource you need at a later date.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Your future self is talking to you. And your past self, and your universal self, and all of the souls of the beloved that are connected to you around the world. Please take the time to listen. Let that fear go and remember your worth. You have value, a unique point of view that is needed. So don’t hide behind illusory ideas of inadequacy. The reason you are experiencing fear is that you can see with your inner sight that things really are in alignment and that you can accomplish if you just put your mind to it. So trust those inner voices, those voices from the future and the past. They are providing you with valuable information and inner knowing. Even if the outside world would like to squash your self-esteem, remember that’s only because you see things only too clearly and those others are threatened by their own magnificence.

Horoscopes for July 15 to July 31, 2017

All Signs

Mercury Retrograde August 12

Total Solar Eclipse August 21

july2

Let’s take a little moment to discuss what will happen in the these weeks leading up to the Solar Eclipse on August 21, and Mercury going retrograde on August 12.

The full moon in Capricorn that we just passed through was a lesson in change and transformation, and these are trends that will continue with the eclipse.

Does it feel like it’s harder and harder to stay centred, to stay strong, to believe in yourself and the process? Does the universe seem to be either shitting on you or throwing obstacles in your path on a daily basis, no matter how hard you try?

Think of events like the eclipse as the telescopic lens of your “higher self” or the universe. When an eclipse occurs, the lens is brought into focus opening a clear line of sight from the macro to the micro. Everything that was hidden is now seen and can no longer be ignored. This will only be heightened with Mercury retrograde

So surrender your ego. Listen to the judgements you have of others and see them for the reflection of the self that they are. And as the days count down to the spectacular event that will be the eclipse, prepare yourself emotionally and energetically. Let go of guilt and let go of things that no longer serve you.

Share what you have and who you are with the world. Don’t be afraid to come out of your shell and trust in the power of co-creation. Magic can be created through group endeavours. Each person has exactly what is needed to contribute to the whole. Value everyone, and exclude no-one. If a particular individual’s talents aren’t yet apparent, or they seem to be off in their alignment with the big picture of the project, take some time to reassess. These individuals either need a some gentle coaxing to see their own value, or they need love and understanding to come back into alignment with the greater cause.

The key word for right now is respect. First of all we must respect ourselves. When we walk our talk and stick to our convictions, we create a position of strength. People respect our integrity because we are grounded in what we believe about ourselves. This healthy sense of self means that there is no need to prove ourselves through bullying or through overpowering the other.

We must also allow this same respect for everyone around us, even if we don’t share their point of view. By providing them with respect as a valued member of society we create space for debate, sharing, and empathy.

Remember also that the magic of this time is accessible when we take the time to cultivate the self-worth and integrity of others. When we use a position of strength to help others cultivate their own creativity and knowing.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

There is a situation that is out of your control. You have a lot of knowledge about how to proceed, if only the other party involved in this situation would listen. However, all you can do is make the compromise that is being presented to you. But don’t worry, this will all work out in the long run. Just don’t get impatient and push to get your own way at the moment. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that there is a kind of transformation taking place within you. You are shedding old ideas about things. Sort of reassessing your beliefs about the world. So what if someone is being obstinate and temporarily blocking your path? You’ve lived long enough to come to realize that: 1. They are not going to stop you from achieving your goals, and: 2. Everybody has to learn from their own mistakes. We are all human.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

On this leg of the adventure you’re coming to understand the meaning of gradual progress. You have set a more sustainable pace; you don’t feel such an urge to charge ahead and get things done. You carry a great reservoir of strength, but you also see that your love life, your work, and your family also carry this reservoir of strength within their dynamics. This knowledge can bring you comfort, if you let it. However, you’ll more than likely need to counteract the part of you that yawns all this stability, so remember that you are on and adventure and to look at the world through eyes full of innocence. Try to see things as if you are seeing them for the first time. Don’t assume that you know the answer before you’ve even heard the question. Stay open and curious and let life surprise you a little.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

OK! This looks more like it! A change is in the air and it looks like you’ve moved through many of the issues that were previously holding you back. You have come into alignment with the universe and your Self or Source. You have acquired a new awareness about your life, and the world in general, thanks to everything you’ve been through over the past while. A kind of epiphany has been reached and energetically you are in alignment with what you want, and you know how you are going to go out and get it. Rely on the loyalty of your friends. Ask for help when you need it. There are many who care about you and who have believed in your vision even when you couldn’t.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You have not done anything wrong. Whatever is happening it’s not your fault. Just get that straight, OK? Follow your principals and make no false compromises. Use the tools that you have gained over the past year. Don’t make things too complicated, either. Follow the path of least resistance. In other words, do whatever is easiest to maintain equilibrium. You’re going to feel alone, and sometimes this feeling of isolation is going to trigger fear. However, if you push yourself to get to the heart of the matter, to really examine what is happening and why, you will succeed in healing it, learning from it, and moving past it. Turn to your artistic side for solace and as an access to your inner knowing. Let creative endeavours be your meditation and prayer.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Through accessing your inner brilliance, the sunshine that is your soul, you will liberate yourself from a restricting force. You are almost there, so much so that you can feel it and  you can even get a little cocky, silently placing what you think are sure bets. However, there are still a few details to attend to so that all misunderstandings can be resolved. So don’t get lazy just yet. Stay vigilant and hold to your course. Don’t think that the use of force or aggression is the way to achieve liberation, though. This isn’t a war you are fighting. Instead, the path to your freedom lies in gentleness. When you are able to see to the heart of someone, when you are able to penetrate even the darkest depths of anger or hate with love and understanding, then you can really make a difference. Use your position to help the other see that your freedom is also their freedom.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

It seems that everyone has their opinion of you and none of them are right. However, that doesn’t stop them from trying to shove their opinions down your throat every chance they get, does it? The trick is to keep breathing. Use your breath to access your Source and the Universe. Carefully consider all decisions at this time. Be aware that even the smallest detail can be the one to alter the course of history. Stay true to yourself in every aspect of your life and you are sure to find success. Don’t try to tackle big projects right now, as this time is more about paying attention to the details. Make sure that you are not projecting illusions about yourself and your life. Reassess your motives and your goals and make sure that they line up with what really matters to you.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You, my friend, are experiencing breakthrough. All the fear that you harboured is moving out of your system. You have a renewed strength and you feel capable and inspired. For a while there you were keeping your opinions to yourself and you were afraid to move in any direction. Change felt too overwhelming and scary. But now you can once again see your place and your value. You have the ability to scrutinize every situation and provide advice and consultation to those who need it. Use this superpower on yourself as well. Closely scrutinize your motives and your responses to others and to outside forces. Use it to propel you through to the other side of breakthrough, to that place where you can’t go back to being the old you that allowed fear to dictate your actions.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

There are a world of possibilities waiting for you. You can see them stretched out before you like beacons of light on a highway. And yes, they are all attainable, they just require focussed intent and hard work. The universe will respond to your efforts. To navigate through any difficulties that are bound to arise, make sure you keep the whole picture in perspective. Look at all the angles and all the possibilities. Use your inner geiger counter to tell you when something is not in alignment with your goals or is toxic to the situation. Trust in your ability to know when you just have to walk away. Many of the issues that will present themselves will not be your problem, but will be a signal to look elsewhere to fill whatever skill or resource you were seeking. 

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Right now your talents and abilities are receiving the recognition they deserve. People see what you have to offer, or the magic that is your specific talents, and they are drawn to you. There is good communication and understanding in all of your relationships and this bodes well for forming partnerships that will stand the test of time. However, in order to be truly successful, you will need to keep things in perspective. Don’t hold on to any illusions about yourself. Don’t get side tracked on stories of grandeur. Stay practical but receptive to new ideas and problem solving innovations. Remember your place in the universe; you are unique and at the same time you are one small part of a grand story playing itself out across the vast reaches of space.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

There is magic brewing but you must have courage in order to see its effects manifest in your life. Stay open and receptive. Don’t get pulled into petty arguments and narrow points of view. There is someone or something blocking your path and though you may want to ignore the issue and hope it goes away, you’re going to have to stand up for yourself and for what is right. Don’t be afraid to say what you know, to point out someone’s limitations, or to stand on the side of justice. You don’t have the time or the energy for misunderstandings. Issues need to be resolved promptly and must NOT be allowed to fester. Don’t worry though, this struggle is not a long-term one. If you can get through this some really beautiful stuff is waiting on the other side.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You are experiencing setback because you are attempting to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You’ve got to let go and learn to delegate. True joy can be found in cooperating with others, and through the practice of going inward. Calm the disturbing and unproductive thoughts in your head. Take time for meditation. You need to experience yourself and the world from a place of peace. As far as relationships go, if you are having difficulty it’s because there is some part of you holding back. Open your heart. Allow space for true, open, and honest love. That’s what you wanted in the first place, isn’t it?

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Listen to your dreams. They are what matters right now. Stick to that inner vision like your life depends on it. By doing so you will stay in alignment with yourself and the universe, thus tapping into the energy that you need to achieve success. You are bursting out into a whole new phase of your life, and you know it. So don’t compromise. Don’t back down. Don’t let people use your generous spirit and access to magic and the universe to realize their goals and distract you from yours. Say goodbye to the past, and if need be, mourn it, but don’t you dare hold on to it.

Fully Moon in Capricorn July 9

All Signs

July2017

We each have sufficient energy and personal power to achieve our goals at this time. How we decide to use that power will be up to us. My use of the word power in this post does not mean to have “power over” someone or something. Instead it means to access the energy of the universe. To draw upon the wellspring of knowing that lies deep within. A knowing that seeks truth and that practices compassion and empathy.

But it’s not enough merely to harness this power and charge forward. To maintain integrity in all situations, we must stay humble and open ourselves to all sources of knowledge. We must have patience and look toward long-term goals while paying attention to the many details of the now.

Those of us who are parents need to remember that we are setting an example for our youth. They need to learn the value of sticking to their principals and what is “right” for the individual and the community at large. They need to be taught that it takes time to accomplish something worthwhile, and that every challenge that comes into our lives is a lesson.

Politically, grassroots movements are either being created or are building momentum. We, as a species, are beginning to turn the tide of ignorance, and ideals of capitalism and individualism, around. Through social media we are beginning to listen to all sides of the story, to see it from every angle and learn that we must work together to create a new definition of what it means to be human on Planet Earth.

So go out and join a not-for-profit. Speak your mind and participate in events and settings that allow for cooperation and a healthy exchange of ideas. Learn to see what talents your neighbour has, what they offer to the world that is unique and beautiful.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Someone is throwing projections of their own insecurity at you and there’s not much you can do about it right now except take responsibility for how your respond. There is a part of you that is curled up in a ball and hiding in the corner. You can’t seem to see the whole picture; your vision is severely narrowed. Thus, every time you make a decision about something it ends up blowing up in your face. Life will want you to act. It might even feel urgent that you do so. You’ll be tempted to make a decision that will affect your life for years to come. Don’t do it. Wait it out just a little longer. Have patience and trust that you will know when it is time to act. Don’t let yourself believe that it’s a do-or-die situation, because it’s not.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

The world is going to try to convince you that you should be doing things in a way that goes against your instincts and gut feeling. You should not believe it. If you’re doing something that goes against your nature, have the courage it takes to change it up. You have a lot of energy available to you right now. On a soul level you are completely in alignment with the cosmos. You are pulling strength from your Source Self and the earth. Respond to those who would tell you you’re doing it wrong like you would a child who needs a lesson in respect and in the support of the individual paths of others. It’ll also do you good to stay curious and playful. Set an example but staying open and receptive to others, allowing them to enter your life without preconception or suspicion.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Take some deep breathes, Gemini. You’re going to get this by the end of the year, I swear. Listen up, I know that there is yet more shit going “wrong” with your life and you feel stressed to the max. But I’m going to try to give you some help. For one, you source is pushing the agenda of your soul dream right now. You feel the strong pulled by what you are meant to do here on this planet, and it’s freaking you out. You’re probably not consciously aware of all this—you probably just feel scattered, vulnerable, and overwhelmed—so get consciously aware. Wake up! You need to learn to trust in this process, to see that the universe is on your side. Embrace that you have no idea what the heck is going on or what you are supposed to be doing, and start from there. Look at your life like it’s a blank slate and let your imagination begin drawing a picture for you. On a practical, every day note, you need to reduce your lifestyle. Stop spending money you don’t have, stop spreading your energy too thin, and get rid of all accumulated junk.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Alright, so you can feel that you’re starting to come out of your funk. Energy is building and people seem to be recognizing your talents and abilities more than they were. The only problem is that you have got a million voices in your head and you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions. It’s OK. Take some deep breathes and find some time alone to meditate . . . or draw . . . or something. Then remember this: look to the moon for the guidance you need. Let the night owl in you have some time to roam free. At the same time practice letting go of scrutinizing every aspect of your life. Every task does not need to signify the end of the world. And it’s OK to try different approaches and ways of doing things. Sometimes doing so leads to discovery and innovation, but you’ll never know until you try.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

If you’re experiencing stress it’s because you’ve got an overwhelming wave of disturbing thoughts running around in your head. And yes, you guessed it, those thoughts have nothing to do with reality. You’re stressing out over nothing. In fact, there is a great opportunity for co-creation right now. You have a wonderful network of people around you who want you to take part in celebrating the beauty of life with them. So tune into your higher power, whatever that may be, and imagine that higher power coming in through your crown chakra and helping you to clear your mind. Ask that higher power to help dispel any and all negative illusions, especially those about co-creating with others, your abilities, or your body.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Right now is a vulnerable time for you, so make sure you are taking care of yourself. There’s a big shift taking place. Actually, it’s more like you are shedding your skin and transmuting into a new version of yourself; caterpillar to butterfly. This change is causing you to feel like there is too much being demanded of you, too many things being thrown at you, and that it’s all too overwhelming. You’re carrying around guilt and you feel indecisive. Should you decide to this or that, or are you doing the right thing, it’s enough to drive anyone mad. Practice standing in a receptive stance, both figuratively and literally. Open to who you are becoming, welcome that person into your life and consciously let go of your old self.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

There’s magic brewing, of that you can be sure. There is synthesis in group activities and endeavours and you can easily take a leadership role, if you choose. You’ve felt sort of misplaced lately, and that trend is coming to an end. You see yourself as part of something now and it has opened up a space of hope and passion in your heart. Remember to use your influence for good and to think carefully about both what you would like to say and in what direction you would like to steer the group. What is the core purpose of this gathering or group? What does it give back to the community? Can it be accessed by everyone, especially those in need? What are your core reasons for being involved? Let these kinds of questions be your guide.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Don’t try to rush anything. There are certain structures in place, some of them of your own design, that are meant to make sure that every aspect of what you do is attempted with deliberate, thoughtful, and considerate action. The best you can do is stay as much in the now as possible. Take things moment by moment and don’t project too far into the future. You have the sight to see where you are headed, the big picture you are trying to create, and that’s all good, but you just can’t predict exactly how you will get there. Use your ability to move between worlds, to interact with anyone no matter their background or the colour of their skin, to gather information and feed it into the database of your subconscious and your soul. And then practice letting go.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Let the rest of that fear go. Let it evaporate from your being and disperse into the atmosphere to be cleansed by the rain. Summon your courage and embark on your journey. If you let it, this can be a time of peace for you. You will be able to find peaceful solutions to confrontations and dispel mistrust. Walk with grace. There is no need to force issues or be confrontational. Accept that everyone has their path in life, and this means you as well. Trust that you are in the right place at the right time. Your unique knowing needs to be given flight through both your words and your actions. Imagine that everything you create is given wings to fly on to an unknown and beautiful destiny that you have no control over.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

This is a beautiful, yet tumultuous time for you. There is so much potential and this potential gives you energy and fills you with passion. However, not all plans are yet set in stone and you will have to let go to the unexpected and trust that everything will work out in the end. Use this time to gather your strength, energy and resources because time of action will come and you will have to be prepared. That doesn’t mean you have to get all serious. Part of the action of gathering strength and energy involves allowing yourself some downtime. You need to play and see this play as preparing for the future. Take some time to daydream as well. Imagine that you can visualize your future self talking to you. What does that future self say?

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Right now, nothing is permanent, everything is in flux, but that’s how it’s supposed to be. You actually feel in harmony with this as your heart is opening wide and quite possibly you are falling in love, or you are rediscovering the love you already have. The universe is sending you messages, so keep an eye out. Most of these messages have to do with healing your heart, with learning to open up and give of yourself without fear of rejection. You are redefining what love means to you, you are giving it a chance to once again establish itself in your heart. So let your inner love light shine, have fun with the dance of your life and those you are sharing it with. Allow the self that feels rejected and alone to heal.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Wow! You’re still being cracked open from the inside, aren’t you? Part of you is a little overwhelmed by how good things are going, so just make sure you take some time to tune into your core every once in a while. You still need to pay attention and stay alert. The universe is feeding you a lot of information and you need to access the wise woman/man within you. Don’t let others distract you from your intent, don’t let them convince you that whatever you are doing should be done a different way. Trust your gut and recognize the truth and clarity in your visions and connection with spirit. It doesn’t matter if others recognize your abilities in this manner right now or not, for they will in time. Remember that the recognition you are receiving right now comes from others having seen your talents in the past.

All Signs

Summer Solstice June 20

june2017

Photo by Tamu Miles

The theme right now, my friends, is communication. That means that we must work hard to hear what others have to say while we also make an effort to convey our own thoughts, feelings, and intentions with grace and compassion.

Expect that no matter what you say or do it will feel like you are misunderstood or even ignored. But don’t give up. Inside each of us is an unfurling supernova of creative inspiration. We are full of new ideas and we feel driven to create and do. We are having a love affair with the process of taking both the knowledge we have acquired about life, and our current observations of world events, and creating new perspective and insight.

If you take a look at what is going on in the media, you might get a better reflection of what is happening within yourself and in your social sphere. Scientists and critical thinkers are front and centre on the world stage, and they are working hard to provide solutions for current situations, both politically and environmentally. But these voices, though prominent on your Facebook page, will not be listened to by those who hold power. They will be discredited and pushed to the background by those who are threatened by what they say.

All they can do is stay grounded in their integrity, and never waver from the truth. They must provide evidence to back up their allegations and trust that if they can keep speaking out long enough, they will be heard and things will change.

The same goes for the rest of us as we go about our daily lives. Hold to your truth, immerse yourself in research to back up your arguments, and trust that truth will win out over stupidity and ignorance. This goes for personal, professional, and casual interactions.

But remember to be kind in the process. Remember that your goals include the good of the group—your network of friends, loved ones, your workplace, your greater community—and not just yourself.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Every movement is an act of sacredness. You are creating your reality one step at a time. The more you realize this, the more you open space for, and create, transformation and breakthrough in your life. What’s great is you are having fun with this breakthrough and transformation. You’re ecstatic with the realization that you have more control over your life and your destiny than you ever have before. So keep on truckin’, baby! Keep moving toward those goals because no one can stop you, but you. At the centre of all of this movement is a quiet pool of silence. There is a calm that has settled into your guts, a calm that has helped alleviate stress and anxiety, and has given you strength. Draw upon this silence whenever you start to feel overwhelmed. Remember that you are not the same person you were, even the person you were a few months ago. You’ve done well and you can relax in the knowledge that change really has taken place within you.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

It’s safe to experiment again. The ideas surfacing to your conscious mind have the potential to benefit others; you have the opportunity to make a positive impact. You are in a place of progress wherein your loyalty and professional ability are highly valued and sought after. In fact, if you let yourself run with your ideas you’ll find a way to create the career path that you’ve always wanted, or advance the one you have all ready established. Suddenly you’ll see that everything you’ve done in your life has been mere stepping stones and you’ll know how to use those stepping stones to create the future you’ve always imagined. It’s important not to get entirely lost in over thinking things, though. Don’t let ego override pure intent. The goal is to do good for others and the world in general, not recognition or fame.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

There is power in letting go, you know. There is power in embracing the sorrow that you feel. You can learn from this sorrow if you assume that you know nothing and let life show you a different way. It’s like you are forever dancing inward toward your inner truth. But you won’t get to that inner truth if you hold on to past assumptions and prejudices. You can’t control the outcome of any situation right now and if you try to you’ll only find yourself getting more and more frustrated. This frustration will lead to more sorrow and disappointment and you’ll feel like you’re caught in an endless spiral of negativity. So instead of taking that fruitless path, embrace where you are now and truly surrender yourself to the unknown.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You are a creative being. This is a fact and it cannot be ignored, especially right now. True healing will come when you open up to your creative self, once again, and allow it to flow. Through your art, in whatever way it is expressed, your soul, your psyche and the universe are trying to send you messages. This means that when you creating you will realize things about your life, you will be able to see which decisions are the “right” ones, and be reminded about what is important. Pay attention to the small details. Don’t let laziness take over and cause you to miss important, if seemingly small and insignificant, events and circumstances. You need to be super conscious and mindful of your actions as any one of them could be the drop that makes your cup of stress overflow.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Inside you there is a deep well of endless energy, love and inspiration. You feel compelled to use this well to help friends and family who are in need. Family is especially important right now, but just as important to you are the goals, dreams and accomplishments of your friends, co-workers, and acquaintances. You are welcoming, open, and compassionate and you see the world through eyes of child-like wonder. Everything is exciting and new. You experience joy when you celebrate what others have accomplished because you can see their uniqueness and ingenuity. People can also see that you maintain your integrity. You do what is “right” for the greater good and you stick to your convictions. Because of this others will seek your counsel. Don’t hold back, speak what you know.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

When it feels like everything is falling apart, remember these things: 1. There is strength in numbers, so lean on those you trust. Ask for help and advice when you are unsure what path to take. 2. Trust that everything is going according to plan. Even though you face many obstacles and sometimes it all seems hopeless, you are on the right track. 3.You don’t have much influence right now and you won’t be able to make a lot of progress with your goals in any external or overt way. However, you can work from behind the scenes on an energetic level. You can see to the heart of the matter and expose the truth. This ability will allow you to navigate around the obstacles you face without having to confront them directly. 4. It’s best to walk with gentleness. Don’t let anger blur your vision. Try to understand the other’s point of view and have compassion for where they are coming from. In doing so, even though your results will not be spectacular, they will achieve more long-term success.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

To create true fulfillment in your life you’re going to have to be able to compromise. You can’t assume that anything is permanent; the universe is trying to let you know that you will have to say goodbye to certain people and situations that no longer serve you. Your dreams are clamouring to be realized. They sit at the forefront of your consciousness like a lotus flower waiting to open. So don’t be afraid, you are making room for the new, flushing your system so you can perform better. You are also preparing yourself for the bountiful harvest that will come from following your dreams.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

You currently have a great influence over others. At the same time, whatever you are working on—whether in relationship or career—will have a lasting influence on your life. This time could bring you great abundance, but in order for that to happen you are going to have to do some inner cleansing. First of all this means that you need to take care of yourself. Make sure that you are eating healthy and getting enough rest and exercise. Second it demands that you flush past beliefs surrounding what you think is possible and what is not. If you stay stuck in an old frame-work, you will not be able to recognize opportunities when they come along. See what you are sewing the seeds of a bountiful garden.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Outside influences are going to try and postpone any changes that you are trying to make. It’s important, then, to stick to traditional ways of doing things. Keep your head down and your self-esteem up. Remind yourself daily that you are doing what is right for you and it doesn’t matter what other people think. However, railing against oppressive forces will get you nowhere. It’s best to show tact and proceed with caution. Don’t stray from those core values that you are recognized for: adaptability, modesty, humility and consideration. Whatever it is that you have been working on is close to becoming reality. It’s like you are in labour. The struggle is real, the pain is real, but both will lead to the birth of something beautiful.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Everything is finally in alignment again. Things are falling into place and you have the energy you need to accomplish your goals. Part of you is dancing in celebration. You feel free and you want to express yourself and go out and conquer the world with reckless abandon. But don’t ignore the other half of what is going on. Your heart is also feeling a lot these days. You are open and vulnerable and in your relationships there is a deepness that needs to be recognized and honoured. Stay loyal to friends and family and those who have helped you out in the past. But also stay loyal to the very idea of friends and family. These people are important to you not only in the sense that they have helped you succeed, but in the sense that they have helped you become a better person, the person you are today.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Be patient, my friend. There’s nothing you can do about the current situation. There are forces at play that are beyond your control. Ride out this predicament by trusting that you are on the right path, that the choices you have made leading up to this time have been the right ones. You soul is testing you. It is giving you the chance to soar above the mundane levels of your life and reach for something deeper and more meaningful. So treat the road blocks you are experiencing as a chance to make some changes. Step back and reassess your life. Are you doing what you really want to be doing? Is there some way in which you could be living your life better? Have you been honouring your loved ones and giving them what they need of you?

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

The universe is going to shock you with a thunderbolt of realization. Are you ready for it? All of those road blocks you created for yourself in the past are going to suddenly disappear and you will find yourself attaining the success you have always dreamed about. Why? Because the laws of the universe dictate that it should be so. You have worked your way through an agonizing amount of self-doubt and fear and you finally have the strength to see your worth. When this happens, the universe responds and feeds you more energy. Stay tuned in to your deep knowing and trust your intuitive abilities for they will ensure your success. You are not a superficial being and this is why success comes to you when you finally recognize the value of your inherent talents.

Horoscopes for June 1 to June 15, 2017

All Signs

Full moon in Sagittarius May 9

gemini

Photo by Tamu Miles

This full moon is all about healing and transformation. It’s about being aware of our actions and finding balance. Full moons are about open gateways that allow for the purge of negative or stagnant energy within us, and this full moon is no exception. We each face a gateway to nothingness (new, and as yet unknown, possibilities), through which we know we could walk and transform our lives. But the key here is the healing that must come along with the transformation.

To mend our lonely hearts we are gathering friends and loved ones close to us. We need to heal the sense of loneliness and isolation that pervades our everyday experience. To do this we need to recognize and make space for the love that wants to come into our lives. We need to stay loyal to friends and family and recognize their loyalty to us. And most importantly we need to stay away from self-pity and have the courage to look our own faults in the face.

It would be easy to get caught up in self-pity because of this sense of isolation. We could get lost in thinking that isolation really is the reality. But listen to your gut. Listen to your inner truth. Let your body and actions respond to those things that give you a sense of purpose, of shared humanity and cooperation. Intend on balance and be cognizant of whether you are making choices based on the greater good or you own personal gain.

Remember also that there is not just kinship with other human beings. There is also kinship with the earth and all of its species, with the universe and the very air we breathe. Gather energy, resources, and courage from these beings as well. A smiling puppy on the sidewalk at just the moment you needed some cheering up, an eagle flying in front of your car when you were feeling lost or like your focus was too narrow, a tree that stands out in brilliant relief against the sunset that renews your faith in the beauty in the world. All of these things are important and they matter.

Pure love is not possessive. Pure love sets its object free by allowing the other to be whatever they need to be. Stay true to this knowing, both for yourself and for those you love.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

You feel like you need to take a step back, don’t you? It just feels right to retreat and allow others to step up to the plate. Don’t ignore or go against this feeling. You need time to gather your thoughts, to draw upon life knowledge, and to play and be lighthearted in order to know what direction you will take next. In a way you are using this time to tame explosive or inexperienced elements/people in your life. You are allowing these people to learn from their own mistakes, and in this way you are being a true leader. However, look within as well. You have some explosive and inexperienced aspects that need taming as well. Do so with as much love and understanding as you do with the people in your life.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

You are about to be catapulted into an entirely new reality/new phase of your life. Perhaps you are expanding a business, perhaps you have made a decision to travel, or perhaps you are beginning a new relationship. Whatever the case may be, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. First off, don’t do anything in excess. Stick to what’s important. Be careful with money and with your heart. Second, pay attention to your dreams (goals and aspirations). They are what matter right now. Your dreams, not the dreams of others. Don’t let yourself be taken off track. Third, this is all going to take some courage, so fortify yourself and be prepared for a bumpy ride. And please remember to stay in touch with your heart. It can be just as logical as your head, just in a different way. So take time to really observe your life and let every act you do be an act of love out into the world.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

You have sufficient energy at this time to accomplish your goals. This has been a long time coming so don’t get too carried away by the intensity of emotion that comes along with it. Instead you must stay humble. Remember that you are building from the foundation up and that you have to pay attention to each and every aspect of the journey/project. You are going to encounter some resistance, so be prepared. These people and circumstances will try to get you riled up. Try to make you think that you need to fight to prove yourself. They’ll get great joy from seeing you waste your energy by lashing out. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Stay calm and centred. Be thoughtful and mindful. If you are in harmony with the creative forces of the cosmos, you will achieve something great and find much recognition.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

I know it feels like you’re getting nowhere because every avenue you walk down seems to turn into a dead end. This can be frustrating, but I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do about it, when it comes to your external reality that is. So just let it go and focus instead on your artistic side. Get the creative juices flowing and create simply for the sake of creating. Spend some time alone with your thoughts and listen to the wisdom that the universe is trying to bring you right now, but also pay attention to those who have been loyal to you. Doing so will give you hope and will feed you the energy and support you need. Family is still the best place to find this loyalty, but so are your friends. They see the beauty in you and in what you are trying to accomplish and they want to help.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

You’re in salvage and repair mode, and you know it. You got yourself into this mess, so you’re going to have to get yourself out of it. Rely on tried and true methods. Too much experimentation will only lead to disappointment. Don’t worry, you’ve got the strength to deal with this, but that strength is going to have to battle the lingering heart sorrow that you feel. Your soul is continuing to strip you of your own illusions about yourself, the world, and the meaning of love and beloved. This might be a little painful, and you’ll have to do some close self-examination, but it will all be for the best. I promise. Your heart is seeking, reaching out with tender tendrils into the world, and it will find what it’s looking for if you allow these changes to take place and learn from the mistakes you have made.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Much can be achieved through gentleness and behind the scenes action right now. You can’t really control much in in terms of the material world, so you’re sort of having to go with the flow and see how things unfold. It may even feel like nothing you say is taken seriously or even listened to. But through gentle persistence and an attitude of higher love you can quietly sway opinion in your favour. Remember that the needs of the group must be thought of as well. Listening to, and caring for, the needs of your loved ones in a true and genuine manner not only helps you it strengthens the group and situation as a whole.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You know that you need to have patience right now, right? You can feel it as sure as you can feel the sun on your face. So don’t bother rushing into anything. Take time for careful consideration of all aspects of the problems that present themselves. Be aware that there are those who would like to pull the wool over your eyes in order to achieve their own goals. Counteract them by listening to your intuition and to the knowledge that you have accumulated in your time here on this earth. Continue to gather the resources and energy that you will needed some rainy day not too long from now. You need to take care of yourself. Do things that nourish body and mind. Be as active in nature as possible. Ground into your body and take care of it. Feed yourself good food, get some exercise, and find moments for quiet reflection.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Here’s what trusting in the universe and your own knowledge and expertise can bring you: The excitement of new possibilities and a complete shake-up of all the stagnation in your world; joy and and an openness of heart—true love in all your interactions; an ability to take all the facets of your life and focus on each of them with clarity and pure intent; and the knowledge that what gestates within your being is something sacred and glorious and truly of your own creation. These are good things, no? So release your clenched fist and trust that everything is moving and changing and growing exactly as it should be—don’t let your fear of the unknown rear its ugly head and shake your faith. These are exciting times and it is OK for you to be excited and full of ideas and creative energy.

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

These are exciting times and there are endless possibilities presenting themselves to you. But it’s also a delicate time. You don’t want to damage the bud before it has had a chance to bloom. So stay alert and don’t allow yourself to be deceived by your own illusions of the world. Be wary of those who would try to convince you of the validity of their own illusions. Access the wizened self within you. Trust your gut. And listen to that voice in the back of your mind trying to warn you that you’ve strayed off course. It would also be wise to create a protective barrier around your life. Make sure that those who are toxic to your energy and emotions are not able to access you and that you carefully consider all angles of a situation before making any decisions.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

OK, so you’re still having to deal with old issues that have once again surfaced. It’s all right thought because you have some knew tools and you’re more prepared to deal with these issues now. Trust in your ability to create harmony, to smooth things over and let everyone have their say. People are counting on these abilities right now. Your reputation precedes you, and this is a good thing. There are a lot of internal politics in your social sphere and within your relationships. Who said what, who did what and why, and what should we all do about it? Am I right? Well, you can be the voice of reason. You can be the voice that brings everyone back down to earth and helps them remember what’s really important.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You’re on top of the world. Nothing can touch you. Wherever you go, good things happen and people want to talk to you and they ask your advice. This is a wonderful feeling and you do have the ability to achieve much, but beware. You must keep your ego in check, and don’t allow yourself to slip into thinking that this time will last forever. You are in the midst of a cycle, and as surely as the decay of autumn follows the growth of summer, this part of the cycle will run its course. Use the energy and strength you have right now to do some good for others. Spread the wealth and good vibes. And at the same time use this energy to further your own goals. If you do, you will be able to avoid stress when winter comes along.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

So, change is once again on the menu. This change calls for a stirring up of the stagnation you’ve been feeling and for you to take on a leadership role. There is a lot of energy and strength available to you, and it’s up to you to decide what to do with it. Resist the temptation to retreat and hide. Force yourself out of your comfort zone and take on these challenges that you have been asking for. Trust that you have been asked to take on a leadership role because people trust your instincts and they know you are the best person for the job. Remember to stay centred and to listen closely to your own inner knowing. Over thinking things will only cause anxiety which in turn will pull you off in the direction of narrow minded thinking.

Horoscopes for May 15 to May 31, 2017

All Signs

Full moon was in Scorpio on May 10.

may 15-17

Politically speaking, this is not going to be a fun month. Expect a lot more fear out there in the world. And even though it would be easy to get caught up in that fear, it’s important that we pay attention to the counterbalance that is arising within you, me, the general public, and social justice advocates. This realization has to do with how we have all participated in the mess that has been created politically in the U.S. and in other parts of the world.

Healing and repair are the focus. Acceptance of the “other” is the focus. Critical thinkers will be listened to and will push to make their voices even more heard by the masses.

All of this translates over to our personal lives. Don’t let yourself get pulled into drama between you and your loved ones, or workplace politics with coworkers. No matter what’s going on, work toward healing and repair. Try to see into the situation, to truly know it and see it from all angles before making any judgements.

But fear is the big one to work on and to try and stay away from.

If you experience fear about anything—your relationship falling apart, worrying about your children, your co-worker is driving you mental, your neighbours are being disrespectful, or you’re just terrified that the world going to shit—it’s important to take a deep breath and step back from the situation. Use whatever method you have of calming your mind and coming back to centre. Look for a way to help create healing and repair and try to see the situation from all angles.

It’s all going to be OK. None of us is alone, we are not as separated and unique as we believe ourselves to be. Reach out to your friends and loved ones and share what you are experiencing. Open space for true communication. You’ll be surprised to find a lot more kinship and common ground than you think.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

If you build it, they will come. Use the current tide of energy, prosperity, and breakthrough to build your foundation—the core structure—of whatever project you’ve taken on. Stay rational in all your decision making. Don’t get swept up in the emotion of prosperity and reward. Keep your eye on the future and all aspects of your project. Be careful with your finances; spend money wisely and save what you can. This peak won’t last forever and eventually the real test will be endurance and staying power. At times it’s going to feel like you are bringing together lava and ice and trying to make them cooperate and work together. This may be frustrating and tiresome, but you’ll figure it out, don’t you worry.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

Some kind of big change is on its way or is taking place right now. At first this change may look scary or negative and you may react with fear, but I urge you to reassess. Peel back the layers of preconceived ideals and beliefs and take another look at the situation. You have all the skills you need, a tremendous amount of knowledge and personal power in the situation, and you know you have the ability to orchestrate harmony between opposing forces. This is a chance for your soul to shine through into your work and your life. What you know to do at this time, what is pushing up from your heart centre as a sense of destiny, is an expression of something deeper inside of you and it will have a lasting effect on your life. 

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

Seek to find balance between spirit and body, between the universe and this earthly realm. There’s a part of you that still feels lost and alone and like everything just continues to fall apart. However, if you take the time to examine the movement of your emotions, what kind of dreams your having or what thoughts surface in rare moments of alone time, you’ll see that there’s actually a spiritual awakening taking place. You are coming to know your own being and you are having epiphanies about life and your interactions with those you care about. Walk with gentleness. Seek to have compassion and empathy in all your interactions. That’s not to say that you should let yourself be taken off track from your goals or what you know is right, but you do need to be sensitive to the well-being of everyone involved.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

There’s some kind of change taking place in your life and you’re not altogether happy about it. In some ways you feel let down and disappointed and like you have to start all over again. It’s time to rely on your family and close friends. Reach out for help. If you keep yourself isolated and try to do everything on your own you will not have enough stamina to realize your goals. Take this time to gather energy and resources. Go with the flow of the change and trust that what your soul has in store for you is far better than you can currently imagine. It’s going to be tempting to quit, to throw up your arms in resignation and say “to heck with it anyway”. Please don’t. You’ve worked so hard. This is just another stepping stone and you can do this.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Go inward and find the still, calm waters you carry within you. You cannot defy the laws of the universe. Things happen for a reason, and if you want to find the reason you’re going to have to look within your own heart and mind. There’s a sorrow that you carry around when it comes to “beloved”. You don’t want anyone to see this sorrow, and you do a pretty good job of covering it up. But if you want to shake up the dullness you’ve been experiencing, if you want to bring about some excitement of the heart, you must have courage. Courage to open yourself and be vulnerable, to find the deep wellspring of heart connected joy inside you and be willing to share it with those others you long to spend time with.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You’re coming back around. You’re opening your perspective and letting the playful side of you occupy more space in your every day. This is good. Stay tuned into your own inner truth, free from emotion and prejudice, and you’ll do just fine. Access those deep, cellular memories that are both: a) knowledge that you have accumulated over your lifetime and b) knowledge that has been passed down to you throughout your familial history. Sit in the truth of these memories and allow them to help you navigate the world for the next while. You’re almost there. The birth that has been taking place, the one that has pushed you into a new phase of your life, is nearing completion. Remember that it doesn’t have to be painful. It can actually be quite fun.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

If you want to see any progress as far as your goals are concerned, you’re going to have to set boundaries. Boundaries for yourself (so back away from the beer/sandwich/candy), and boundaries with people who suck your energy dry and circumstances that are antagonistic. There’s an intensity about you these days. You are on a mission, and this is good, it means you’ve found a sense of purpose. Just remember that all progress you make will be gradual, and this is as it should be. You must take the time that is required to explore every avenue (even get a little obsessive compulsive about it), in order to really make whatever it is your doing work. I hope you remember to have fun every once in a while. You don’t have to be quite so serious all the time.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

OK, I know there’s a lot of negativity being thrown at you right now, but just ignore all that and listen to me for a second. See these? They are magic and breakthrough. I’d like to introduce you to them, they’ll be your companions for the next while. Stay open to them. Intend for them to come into your life. Weave your reality like a witch or wizard, pretend intend that you can do it. Not only that, but pretend intend that great things are going to happen, that you have the strength to make them happen, and that it’s all going to be awesome. Pretend intend that you will bust through all those patterns and inhibitions that used to hold you back. Just try it, OK?

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Hmmm, can you feel that? You are in a pretty good space right now. You’re coming into a new place of being, owning your talents, yet seeing the world through innocent eyes. Everything looks new to you, like there is potential everywhere. The world sees you as a person who is centred and calm, that you know what you want, what you believe, and how to go about achieving your goals. You might chuckle at this a bit because you actually feel like there are many different voices in your head, many different aspects of yourself at play. Capitalize on this time of smooth transition, of change and growth and transformation. Use it to amalgamate all of those voices and thus bring about new possibilities in your life.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Issues that you thought had been dealt with have resurfaced, and in this rerun scenario you are going to have to be the teacher. You have done some inner questing recently and this inner questing has allowed you to burst on to your own stage, so to speak. You’ve come to realize a lot about yourself, your relationships with others, your purpose here on the planet and what you want to do with your life. This knowledge will be very beneficial when dealing with the resurfaced issues. Stick to your knowing, stay in your gut. Be compassionate and empathetic and always take time to think things through instead of responding in anger or haste. And last, but not least, don’t stray from your principals or compromise your integrity.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You are so open and receptive to love right now, it’s ridiculous. You feel your connection to beloved stirring deep within you, it’s like there’s a sun shining bright from your solar plexus and it’s sending signals out into the world. It’s OK, for the most part, to go with the flow of things right now, to just see where interactions and circumstances take you. However, you must also stay alert and aware. There are those that can feel your intensity and are attracted to it, but will not reciprocate in the way you want or need. Learn to see through these people, and to generally get a good feel for those people you really do want to spend your time with. This lesson in discernment is important because no matter how “peace and love” you feel right now, you are actually looking for deep and long lasting connection, and this must be honoured.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

It’s all about the people right now, Pisces. You have a lot of influence, so your voice can be heard and your ideas taken seriously. You have an ability to take varying aspects of a project, or different personalities in a group, and facilitate co-creation and integration. There is, of course, a bigger picture going on here. Your soul is really present in your everyday life right now and sometimes you might feel as though your actions are not your own (you have no idea why you did what you did), but don’t worry, it’s all for the best. Make sure you take time to regenerate and refuel every once in a while. Remember the healing benefits of meditation and going out into nature. However, you’re going to find that interaction with people is more regenerative than draining these days. Ideas and laughter can be food, too.

Horoscopes for May 1 to May 15, 2017

All Signs

Mercury Retrograde to May 3

Mercury Post Shadow Phase to May 21

may1-15-2017

Let’s just remember that Mercury is Retrograde until May 3, OK? And while Mercury goes direct station on May 3, the Post Shadow Phase will last until May 21 and this means that we will continue to feel its effects until then.

That means it will be necessary to continue to pay attention to inner transformation and growth and ride out the difficulties that arise in your daily life.

The universe is tricking us all anyway. It’s using any means necessary to help us remember to celebrate the good things in life. To look at change not as a scary and daunting task, but one of joy and one that can be filled with enthusiasm.

In First Nations beliefs Coyote, the Trickster, symbolizes spirit medicine. Spirit medicine doesn’t concern itself with our comfort zones, or what we think should happen, or how a situation should be. You know what I’m talking about. We might not always like the medicine were administered, but we always need it.

Coyote is teaching us to keep on track with personal goals and with practicing daily inner growth even when it seems that the whole world is against us. It’s your job to go after what you want, to stay in alignment with your whole being even if you’re too tired and you think you’ve finally slipped to the end of your rope. Coyote will use “bad” experiences to help us see the truth of the situation and actually learn from it.

Coyote also teaches us how to laugh at ourselves, to join in the cosmic joke we are playing on ourselves by stumbling around like we do. The by-product of the medicine of Coyote is that it uses laughter and comedy to show us new perspectives and reveal new solutions.

So let yourself get tricked into rebirth. Shed what is old and useless. Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Celebrate how far you’ve come with friends, colleagues and family, and let those people be a reflection of the joy, hope, and courage you carry within you.

Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Uh oh, you’ve been pushing yourself too hard lately and you’re starting to get exhausted. Make time for self-care (time alone, lazing on the couch, taking a hot bath with the music blasting), and remember that family is important, too. You need to show true leadership in this situation and reward those who have been working hard alongside you and show by example that taking the time to regenerate one’s batteries is as important as the work itself. A narrow perspective will not serve you right now. You need to keep all aspects of your life in focus. Stay at the centre of your own web, and be the true weaver of your own reality. This necessity is another reason for taking some time to yourself. You need to be able to gather your thoughts and internally put all your ducks in a row.

Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20

You’re still facing some challenges, but the energy has shifted slightly. There’s more spring-like potential, more trust that the fall harvest will be bountiful. Practice gentleness in all your interactions. Use gentleness as a way to connect to the spirit, or the core, of those you love, and thus their hearts and minds. Find creative ways to deal with challenging or antagonistic situations, ways of drawing out the beauty in your friends, family, colleagues and associates through kindness and love. I know this can be a little bit of a challenge for you, Taurus. You want things to be straight forward and rational. However, this is your lesson right now. There is huge potential for growth in all aspects of your life, and if you continue to work toward your goals with grace and perseverance, your harvest will indeed be bountiful.

Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20

You continue on a path of learning how to deal with difficult and frustrating situations with a sense of humour and receptivity. The learning process is taking place on all levels right now: you are learning about who you are, you are learning to understand and have compassion for the situations of others, and you are learning to face pain and difficulty with a positive attitude. Use this time to gather your strength and resources. Save for a rainy day with your energy, you time and your money. See that both the act of doing a good deed for a stranger or friend and taking time for yourself are forms of deposits in the energetic and karmic bank. I know it feels like there is an endless cycle of tragedies in your life, but this time will pass. It’s all about your attitude and perspective. Really. Keep that at the forefront of your thoughts. Once you have truly learned this lesson a breakthrough in your life will occur.

Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Well, there are still some kinks to work out; a couple of issues you thought dead and buried have reared their ugly heads. But take heart. That’s only a fraction of what is really going on right now. Overall your life is in synthesis and there is a heavy dose of transformation taking place. You are ripe with birth and new ideas and new beginnings. You have a lot of energy and feel as though you can conquer the world. So don’t let those pesky issues get you down. Use the energy of change that pulses through you to truly deal with them once and for all. Don’t be afraid to face issues head-on with the intent that you are going to transmute them into wholeness with the power of self-love.

Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Something has shaken-up your world and is causing you a great amount of distress. It’s OK, though. Take some deep breathes and focus your mind. There is healing energy available to you and the situation and the other people who are effected, so stay receptive to it. You might even find that deliberately distracting yourself or others from this negative situation would help everyone shift perspective enough to see the whole thing from a new angle and thus find solutions. Speak what you know, but don’t push your agenda. You are at the mercy of these circumstances right now and you need to remain calm, maintain a positive outlook, and act with caution.

Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Ugh! You are still dealing with an opposing force in your life. Whoever this is is trying to make things very hard for you, picking fights, spreading rumours and keeping secrets. Maintain your integrity. You need to act from your core truth at all times and seek out the reasons for the antagonism. Work toward a solution as best you can, even if this other person is not able to hear you right away. Be cautious with your words and protect your own heart and energy. Try to refrain from saying things in anger, and when sharing your deep, dark secrets be sure you can trust who you are talking to. Find people you do trust so that you can vent your feelings freely without fear of judgement or anger.

Libra – Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Look deep within and allow yourself to recognize the growth that is taking place. You are pre-spring, you are the bud before it has burst open. You are the tundra before it comes alive with wildflowers. Let yourself be that deep, dark earth. Contemplate the many aspects of your being, the very cells that make up your physical self, how these cells work together, and the sheer wonder of your existence. There’s not a lot going on in your outer, physical life, in fact things are pretty quiet right now. So take this time to gather and store energy and resources. Things will shift soon enough and you’ll need all the energy you can get to deal with the rush of growth and change.

Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

There are too many things demanding your attention. You need to focus on what is important; you need to prioritize and minimize. Get back to basics. A transformation wants to take place in terms of relationships. You’ve gotten trapped in a cycle of ordinariness when it comes to your lover/partner. Love wants to flourish and dance and play, and the mindset you currently have about what relationship is supposed to look like is hindering you and making it impossible for you to dance with ecstasy and sensuality. It’s also making it impossible for you to let yourself be truly seen. Let that loved one see you. They mean only the best, and even if you get hurt down the road, isn’t love and connection worth it?

Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Don’t let yourself get pulled off your path, dear Sag. Use that keen inner sight of yours to see through lies and deception. Steer clear of other people’s fear. Reduce things down to their elements. Somewhere inside you’re lugging around old baggage. You need to let go of that old crap so you can create the energy you need to tackle the world and your various projects. And keep in mind that if you do get caught up in the drama of others, if you allow these people and circumstances to distract you from what is important, you will learn the hard way that you are participating in the drain you’re experiencing on your energetic resources. This will make things harder later on when you really have to step-up and put-out to attain your goals.

Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You are so close. Don’t give up now. The universe is so much on your side and a kind of rebirth is taking place within you. Your head is filled with too many thoughts. You need quiet and meditation; time to think and feel. Let go of preconceived notions, judgements, and beliefs. Postpone whatever it is you’ve been planning for just a little longer. You’ll know when the time is right because the energy will shift. Right now, take some time to open to spirit, to the universe, and notice the magic and synchronicity that is taking place on a daily basis. If you don’t see it, you’re not paying enough attention. Rebirth is hard. It challenges us to break down all the preconceived notions of the Self. Every button that can be pushed, will be pushed. Be the shaman and face this birth head-on. Don’t shy away from the challenges of becoming a better person.

Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

It’s a time of plenty; you have all that you need and more — emotionally, spiritually, and materialistically. But if you look closely you’ll see that you don’t really need all this stuff, especially the material possessions and ideological perceptions of the world. Logic dictates that it’s time to clean house, to cleanse your life, both externally and internally. It’s like the life cycle of a deciduous tree. In the fall the tree must lose its leaves and bring all of its energy down to its roots in order to prepare for the outburst of spring and the production new leaves, flowers and seeds. You are making room for new ideas, projects, people and experiences. Use what you have to benefit the lives of others. Give especially to those who have supported you in the past and who continue to support you in the present.

Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

An overpowering external force threatens your goals and plans and there is nothing you can do about it. The key to riding this out is in how you respond. You have a considerable amount of power in the situation, this power just happens to reside on the sidelines, on the periphery of your attention. You cannot predict how this will turn out, but if you stand by your convictions and do not allow yourself to be swayed from your path, new doors of opportunity will open for you. There is a gateway open to a whole knew modus operandi for your life. This is good as it means that you will have accepted that you are worthy and capable of bigger and better things. So let things disintegrate. Let them fertilize the soil that will grow a healthy new harvest.
