“The truth is, you were born for you. You were wanted by you. You came here for you. You are here for you. Your existence is yours.” A golden verse by Nayyirah Waheed to contemplate on as you begin the week, Aquarius. Just a reminder: you did what you thought was best for you back then, and that is enough. Descending down the rabbit hole of guilt and shame will only lower your vibration. Sagittarius, we’re too hung up on the idea of what our life should like by a certain age. We do our best to adhere to a dated script that does not even resonate with us in the first place. So, do yourself a favor and shake off the expectations, literally and metaphorically. Take a good look in the rearview mirror and recognize how the so-called failures taught you valuable life lessons. This is your chance to turn your knowledge into wisdom and to step into the portal of the new with a brave and open heart. Capricorn, you came here to shine, to thrive, to flourish, to show up in the big, bad world as the wildest, most untamed version of yourself. So, let go. Let go of the old story that you’re *too much*. Let go of the narrative that it’s not safe for you to stand in your power or to share your sacred gifts. Your angels and guides are holding space for you realign with your true path.
So, what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let’s explore!
Aries
Think about a time in your life when you knew. You just knew what to do, what to say, how to work a room, and most importantly, the best way to woo a massive audience. Your cheat code to making your way through the week: channelling that version of yourself as you repeat the mantra ‘I am unstoppable’. Just a reminder: you’ve been chosen for this mission for a reason. When it comes to your personal life, you’re being reminded that you may or may not be everybody’s cup of tea, Aries. Let go of the need to dim your light or to make yourself palatable in any way. Crystals that will help strengthen your solar plexus and reclaim your inner authority: yellow aventurine, tiger’s eye, and pyrite.
Taurus
We get it, Taurus. People expect you to be affable at all times. But, like everybody else, you have good days and bad days. And, sometimes, the bad days outweigh the good ones. Do yourself a favor and come as you are. Speak your truth in every situation without the fear of how you will be perceived by others. Just a reminder: stepping into your authentic self requires courage, and courage is something you are blessed with in abundance. Crystals that will assist you in balancing your throat chakra: aquamarine, lapis lazuli, and sodalite.
Gemini
Give thanks. Give thanks for the version of you that didn’t believe in themselves. Give thanks for the version of you that lost their way. Give thanks for the version of you that looked outside for validation. Give thanks for the version of you that doubted the divine plan. The journey to where you are now has been all kinds of turbulent. But, the good thing is, you made your way to the top despite the many challenges. What your future self wants you to know right now: there are certain people, places and belief systems you will have to let go of on your way to liberation. Trust that you are ready to transform in more ways than you can imagine.
Cancer
Somedays, you feel you’re a beacon of light, bringing more lightness and brightness into the world. On other days, you feel like the baggage of the past is playing catch up with you, lowering your vibration in more ways than you can articulate. So, do yourself a favor and be present. Be present to what your inner landscape is revealing to you at the moment. If another layer of the same wound is making an appearance, it’s doing so for a reason. Your task this week: to let go of the blame narrative and recognize the role of the other(s) as a catalyst in the story of your life. To microdose on optimism, add citrine or yellow aventurine to your charm bag or simply meditate with one or both of these crystals.
Leo
But, it’s all a play, Leo! It’s all a part of a massive production we call the Game of Life. So, do yourself a favor and don’t get attached. Recognize that Spirit is always working in your favor. That the things that seem to be working against you are also conspiring in your favor. Your task this week is to connect with your body. To anchor yourself in the present moment. To practice grounding exercises such as yoga, breathwork, tai-chi and free movement. Spending time in the lap of Mother Gaia as a way to return to a place of resting and nesting within is also highly recommended at the moment. If you are a practitioner of magic, consider meditating with red jasper, mookaite or mahogany obsidian.
Virgo
Life gives you what you need, not always what you want. This is your greatest blessing, Virgo. So, bring the gift of acceptance to the table. Accept where you are now and the lessons you’re being called to integrate. Your higher self is holding space for you to level up in more ways than you can imagine. As such, you’re also being encouraged to take more chances; to prioritize growth over everything else. A quote by author Brené Brown to contemplate on as you begin the week, “The wilderness can often feel unholy because we can’t control it, or what people think about our choice of whether to venture into that vastness or not. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.”
Libra
“I want to live so densely, lush, and slow in the next few years, that a year becomes ten years, and my past becomes only a page in the book of my life.” A sumptuous verse by poet Nayyirah Waheed to savor as you begin the day. Lo and behold, Libra! This, right here, is the golden opportunity you have been consciously manifesting. A turning point in the story of your life. So, unlearn the old ways, reprogram your mind and rewrite the script. As you do, call in the kindred spirits who are meant to create this brand new reality with you. The only affirmation you need to repeat as you step into the portal of prosperity: “I am the Queen/King of my Universe!”
Scorpio
The path of liberation is not for the faint-hearted. The journey of self-transformation will require you to take a long, hard look at your attachments. To free yourself from the burden of who you should or shouldn’t be and your idea of what life should look like. The good thing is, you are ready to consciously make your way to the underworld. You are ready to look at the parts of you that are no longer serving your highest and greatest good as you wield your sword with grace. Just a reminder, Scorpio: courage is something you have been blessed with in abundance.
Sagittarius
The trouble is, we’re too hung up on the idea of what our life should like by a certain age. We do our best to adhere to a dated script that does not even resonate with us in the first place. So, do yourself a favor and shake off the expectations, literally and metaphorically, Sagittarius. Take a good look in the rearview mirror and recognize how the so-called failures taught you valuable life lessons. This week, you’re being offered the chance to turn your knowledge into wisdom and to step into the portal of the new with a brave and open heart. Remember to do your best and surrender the rest. The less attached you are to the outcome of what you’re creating, the greater your chances of making it to the top with ease.
Capricorn
Capricorn, you came here to shine, to thrive, to flourish, to show up in the big, bad world as the wildest, most untamed version of yourself. So, let go. Let go of the old story that you’re *too much*. Let go of the narrative that it’s not safe for you to stand in your power or to share your sacred gifts. This week, your angels and guides are holding space for you realign with your true path. What’s more, life is blessing you with the gift of fellow unicorns who celebrate your success like their own and hold space for you to realise your highest potential.
Aquarius
“The truth is, you were born for you. You were wanted by you. You came here for you. You are here for you. Your existence is yours.” A golden verse by Nayyirah Waheed to contemplate on as you begin the week. Just a reminder: you did what you thought was best for you back then, and that is enough. Descending down the rabbit hole of guilt and shame will only lower your vibration. Oh, and one more thing! Those who are meant to be a part of your life will find a way to meet you halfway. Let go of the need to shrink yourself in order to fit boxes that were never made for you in the first place.
Pisces
There are times in our lives when everything looks topsy-turvy. The old structures begin to collapse, making way for fresh energy to enter the room. Do we always know that we’re in the midst of a massive transformation when we’re in the midst of it? Anything but, Pisces. The panic is real. But, the panic is not going to serve you or your future self. So, do yourself a favor, take a deep breath and anchor yourself in the present moment. Your ability to throw your head back and laugh when things refuse to go your way will prove to be your greatest flex at this time.
