Aries, if you feel like the new moon and eclipse in your sign have shaken a few things up, know that it’s for a reason. The Universe is bringing to your attention all the ways in which you have been settling. All the ways in which you have been relinquishing your own power. So, allow yourself to dream bigger and step into the version of yourself you always knew you had the potential to be. Breaking news, Sagittarius: Mercury’s backward spin could bring into your orbit certain people that you bid farewell to a long time ago. Don’t be in a rush to reopen the doors you once closed. Put the given relationship(s) to the test, if that’s what you feel called to. You’ve earned the right to say no to that which no longer resonates with the song of your soul. Taurus, you feel like the people in your life are testing your patience this week, and with good reason. Let’s not get started on your colleagues, shall we? This brings us to the real question: will you continue to play goody-two-shoes for the sake of maintaining peace or stand up for yourself as and when required? We certainly hope you find a way to put them naysayers in their place, boo.
So, what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let’s explore.
Aries
If you feel like the new moon and eclipse in your sign have shaken a few things up, know that it’s for a reason. The Universe is bringing to your attention all the ways in which you have been settling. All the ways in which you have been relinquishing your own power. So, allow yourself to dream bigger and step into the version of yourself you always knew you had the potential to be. Your conviction in your own power and potential will make you a magnet for opportunities that will bring you both success and abundance.
Taurus
You feel like the people in your life are testing your patience this week, and with good reason. Let’s not get started on your colleagues and clients! This brings us to the real question: will you continue to play goody-two-shoes for the sake of maintaining peace or stand up for yourself as and when required? We certainly hope you find a way to put them naysayers in their place, beautiful. What you don’t want to do: skip therapy, your morning meditation or that yoga class that helps you fill your inner reserves. The more centred you are at this time the easier it will be for you to deal with the challenges that are presenting themselves in the outer world.
Gemini
The important thing to remember is that you chose this. Your soul chose to grow through this experience. Instead of resisting the lessons, become aware of all the ways in which you are being called to shake things up. You were not sent here to settle, beautiful. You were not sent here to make peace with a mediocre existence. You were sent here to step into the wildest, most embodied version of yourself. On a side note, if you feel like somebody’s trying to salt your game, they probably are. Your instinct never lies, and you know it, Gemini!
Cancer
Tune in, Cancer! Listen to what your soul has to say, now and in every moment. The voice of wisdom within is leading you in the direction of growth. That voice of wisdom within is reminding you that you are in fact invincible. So, look your fears in the eye as you answer the call. The Universe is holding space for you to grow in more ways than you can imagine. What’s more, moving into a space of alignment will bring into your experience opportunities that will propel you in the right direction *and* the support of fellow unicorn who believe in your larger-than-life mission.
Leo
Hello, and welcome to eclipse + retrograde season! A time when uncertainty is the only thing that’s certain. Do yourself a favour and drop the questions. Make love to the eternal now. Return to the present moment. The answers you are seeking will reveal themselves in due course of time. Oh, and one more thing! Welcome every challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. You are on the right path despite what your fears will have you believe and your commitment to the cause will help you go places, beautiful.
Virgo
But, you’re no longer chasing ‘butterflies’ or the thrill of the new, Virgo. What you are looking for is a stable and committed partnership. A certain somebody who’s willing to go all in and will stand by you through the stormiest of storms. What Spirit is whispering to you in moments of silence: “your wishes are my command!” If you are in the early stages of a relationship, pay attention to the signs and what they are revealing to you. Trust that you will soon have clarity on whether or not this relationship is worth giving your all to.
Libra
This week, you’re letting it go. You’re letting it all go. The baggage of the past along with the ‘hows’ and the ‘whys’ and the need to control how your life unfolds. You know that you are where you are supposed to be and that everything is taking place in divine time. What to expect: spontaneous awakenings, synchronistic events and spiritual encounters. Visiting that sacred place that remind you of your divine nature is also recommended right now.
Scorpio
This week, you’re being asked to sit down with the uncertainty, to pour it a cup of tea and listen to what it has to say. Know that the answers you are seeking may or may not find their way to you immediately, and that’s okay. Eclipse season reminder: Understanding that the road to clarity is through the confusion will help you make peace with the process. What’s more, the cards are also encouraging you to prioritise your grounding practices at this time. So, reconnect with your body and breath, beautiful. A yoga practice is just what you need to stay centred through the ebb and flow *and* and activate the circulation of chi.
Sagittarius
Breaking news: Mercury’s backward spin could bring into your orbit certain people that you bid farewell to a long time ago. Don’t be in a rush to reopen the doors you once closed, Sagittarius. Put the given relationship(s) to the test, if that’s what you feel called to. You’ve earned the right to say no to that which no longer resonates with the song of your soul. Besides, you haven’t come this far to diminish your own needs or fit yourself into boxes that were not constructed for you in the first place. Oh, and one more thing! If you feel like somebody is trying to salt your game, you’re probably right. Trust your instinct, beautiful, for your instinct never lies.
Capricorn
You’re ready! You’re ready to be the belle of every ball! You’re ready to dazzle them paps and redefine beauty standards. Saying ‘yes’ to everything is always a good idea. Just make sure your social calendar doesn’t get *so* full that you don’t have a moment to be and to breathe. When it comes to professional matters, you’re being asked to honour and acknowledge your own journey. You are where you are because your hard work has helped you level up in more ways than you can articulate. Do yourself a favour and trust your journey. Trust all the ways in which you’re being called to grow and move. By letting go of the need to constantly compare your career graph with that of others, you will find peace and tranquillity exactly where you are.
Aquarius
We get it, Aquarius! Eclipse season fatigue is real. It doesn’t help that Mercury is engaging in a backward dance as well. Do yourself a favour: just be and just breathe. You don’t have to push yourself to do the things you don’t have the energy for. What you want to make time for instead are activities that refuel your inner reserves. Starting your day with meditation and a restorative yoga practice are highly recommended at this time. Oh, and one more thing! Spending time in nature will prove to be all kinds of therapeutic.
Pisces
But, what does ‘commitment’ truly mean and how do we know we are truly committed to our cause? Something to think about as you make your way through the eclipse portal, beautiful. Here’s the thing: you will be tested. The challenges that present themselves will make you doubt your decisions and question the chosen path. Your lesson here is learning to accept that duality is a way of life. That both the good and the bad are ultimately gifts from the divine forces. What the Universe is whispering in moments of silence: you are where you are supposed to be. Keep going, beautiful!
