Pisces, you are joy, you are beauty, you are grace. You’re everything you’ve ever aspired to be, and more. Take a moment to gaze into the mirror, beautiful. To kiss with tenderness the scabs and the scars you’ve been shamed for. Loving yourself so fully and so unconditionally is an act of revolution in a world that constantly tells you you’re not enough. Libra, remember that you’re both day and night, darkness and light. That by accepting the wholeness of you, you will inspire others to step into the portal of their personal power as well. So, does that mean everybody will applaud your ascent? Anything but. Recognize that each soul is on their individual journey here on earth and that it’s not your job to put a bandaid on their wounds. Leo, what does being in a state of flow mean for you and how can you make your way there effortlessly? Know that no matter how far you have strayed you can always journey back to that place of belonging within yourself.
So, what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let’s explore!
Aries
Life is as messy as it is beautiful, Aries. Life has a way of giving us what we need and not always what we want. So, accept. Accept with grace what the present moment is bringing with itself. The challenges too are serving a purpose, beautiful. The challenges too are helping you shatter illusions and step into the portal of your personal power. Remember, getting to where you want to be is a marathon rather than a sprint. Trust yourself to arrive at the desired destination in due course of time.
Taurus
But, what does it mean to truly surrender? What does it mean to accept the joy and beauty that is the present moment; to embrace life on life’s terms? This is your reminder to let go of the rigidity, the inflexibility, the fixed notions of how things should or shouldn’t be. You are exactly where you are supposed to be, Taurus. Open yourself to the magic of the now. Wise word by poet Nayyirah Waheed to reflect upon as you mindfully sip on your morning tea, “You do not have to be a fire for every mountain blocking you. You could be a water and soft river your way to freedom too.”
Gemini
Gemini, you feel like you’re drowning; that you want to come up for air but you don’t know how. Remember who you are, beautiful. Remember when you first embarked upon this journey, you had a plan. Remember that you can always make your way back home no matter how far you have strayed. As you make your way into your birthday month, reconnect with that latent fire within you. Know that your passion will lead you in the direction of your purpose. PS: You are loved and you are supported.
Cancer
The earth school can be all kinds of challenging, Cancer, and right now it is jolting you out of a deep slumber so you can see your reality for what it is. Accept that impermanence is a part of life. Accept that everything that is built on a false foundation will eventually crumble. Accept that not every person you welcome with kindness into your sacred circle will hold space for you in the same way as you do for them or find a way to keep their promises. So, say *thank you* often and say *thank you* every time you feel disappointed by what is being unearthed. You are held and protected in more ways than you can imagine.
Leo
In his book ‘Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life’, Hector Garcia Puigcerver writes, “The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.” This week, you’re being asked to reflect on what “flow” means to you and how you can make your way there effortlessly. Start by dropping the weight of expectations and the idea of who you are supposed to be while you are here in the earthly realm. Know that no matter how far you have strayed away from your path, you can make your way back to yourself with grace. Just a reminder: living an authentic life will require you to disappoint a few people, and that’s okay. It’s not your job to make everybody comfortable.
Virgo
When we are in alignment with our path and purpose, we feel a sense of joy and a sense of peace, and most importantly, a sense of contentment. An inner knowing that we are where we are supposed to be and are serving in a way that we committed to before boarding the spaceship to the earthly realm. What happens when we feel cut off from Source on the other hand? We experience anxiety and restlessness. The urge to run away; to be anywhere but “the now”. So, take a deep breath and observe. Observe what your inner landscape is showing you. It’s time to journey back to yourself, beautiful. Remember, following your bliss takes courage and courage is something you are blessed with in abundance.
Libra
You’re brave. You’re beautiful. You’re bountiful. You are where you are because you’ve made your way to the top where you belong. Reclaim your throne, wild Venus. As you do, remember that you’re both day and night, darkness and light. That by accepting with grace the wholeness of you, you will inspire others to step into the portal of their personal power as well. So, does that mean everybody will applaud your ascent? Anything but. Recognize that each soul is on their individual journey here on earth and that it’s not your job to put a bandaid on their wounds or take on the colossal task of ‘mending’ them in any way.
Scorpio
The dark night of the soul can be as confusing as it is lonely. The world as you know it ceases to exist and the matrix begins to loosen its grip on you. Resist the urge to run and hide. What you want to instead is bravely face what your subconscious is showing you at the moment; the outmoded beliefs that are standing in the way of your growth and development. As your consciousness shapeshifts, things and people and places that are no longer a vibrational match will fade away. Accept this as a rite of passage into an upgraded version of yourself.
Sagittarius
What raises your vibrations, Sagittarius? What reminds you of your divine nature and the interconnectedness of everything? Here’s a few simple ways to make your way back home: 1. Go out into the wilderness and let Pacha Mamma nurture and nourish you. 2. Cook yourself a delicious home-cooked meal. Think more fresh fruits, herbs and vegetables. 3. Make some time for your asana and meditation practice. 4. Sign up for a healing session. 5. Host an expressive dance gathering in your garden/living room. 6. Spend time in the company of your chosen family. Overheard at the cosmic conference: there’s oh-so-much to be grateful for, beautiful!
Capricorn
If the words of Murukami are anything to go by then pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. So, change your perspective. Change your perspective, wild one. Focus on the good in your life and watch how the good begins to expand. The cards are reminding you of the joy, the beauty and the sweetness that exists all around you and within you, Capricorn. Oh, and one more thing! Upgrading your system and learning karmic lessons need not be chaotic. This chapter of your life is about growing through love, through laughter and through celebration. Overheard at the cosmic conference: let your story become a work of art!
Aquarius
The process of inner illumination in essence signifies bringing light to the so-called dark parts within; the process of making the unconscious conscious. What the Universe wants you to remember: you are more courageous than you give yourself credit for. Trust yourself to walk the path of transformation with grace and poise knowing that you are fully protected by the Universe. Oh, and one more thing! Make some time to go swimming this week or sit by the lake/ocean/pond and observe silence. Connecting with the element of water will prove to be all kinds of therapeutic.
Pisces
Pisces, you are joy, you are beauty, you are grace. You’re everything you’ve ever aspired to be and more. Take a moment to gaze into the mirror, beautiful. To kiss with tenderness the scabs and the scars you’ve been shamed for. Loving yourself so fully and so unconditionally is an act of revolution in a world that constantly tells you you’re not enough. Oh, and one more thing! If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your wardrobe, experimenting with a trend you’ve always wanted to but never quite had the courage to or change your hairstyle, now is the time to channel that big goddess energy!
