You’ve done everything you could to make things work, Cancer. You’ve tried everything in your capacity to change the outcome of the given situation. This week, you’re learning to take your rose-tinted glasses off and to see your reality as it is. The truth can be a lot to take in, but the truth will liberate you in more ways than you can imagine. Sagittarius, if your higher self could have a conversation with you right now, they would say: get out of your own way! So, do it. Get out of your own way. Know that what you are seeking is seeking you as well. Know that the Universe is conspiring to bring into your existence that which you desire and deserve, beautiful. Aquarius, how many times are you going to give the other person the benefit of the doubt? How many times are you going to get entangled in the same old drama or prioritize their needs over your own? The full moon in your sign later this week is showing what isn’t in alignment with your highest and greatest good. Let go with love.
So, what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let’s find out!
Aries
You love who you are with them and you love what they bring out in you. There’s a sense of safety and trust in this relationship. The inner knowing that your paths have crossed for a reason and that you will continue to support each other’s growth as you go along in this game called life. So, if you’ve been in your head lately, journey back to your heart. Operate from a space of oneness and give love a chance. If that means going the distance for that someone special, so be it, beautiful. So be it! The stars in the night sky are conspiring to fulfil your wishes in a manner that can at best be described as serendipitous.
Taurus
It’s not just about what they say, it’s about how you feel when you’re around them. If that sense of depletion is a constant, take it as a sign that you’ve attracted certain energy vampires into your existence. Does that mean you should cancel everybody and spend the rest of your days in a cottage by the lake? Anything but, Taurus. You’re going to have to deal with all kinds of people while you are engaged in this game of life. So, do yourself a favor and draw energetic boundaries wherever necessary. If you are doing the inner work to develop a healthy sense of self, harness the magic of crystals such as tiger’s eye and yellow/honey calcite.
Gemini
It’s not your job to heal or fix everybody, Gemini. It’s not your job to put a band-aid on everybody’s wounds. Honor your own feelings around the given situation and speak your truth with a brave and open heart. You may or may not be able to find a resolution immediately, and that’s okay. What’s important is that you learn to acknowledge your own needs rather than diminishing them. Weekly reminder: the kindred spirits that are meant to stick around will always find a way to meet you halfway.
Cancer
You’ve done everything you could to make things work, Cancer. You’ve tried everything in your capacity to change the outcome of the given situation. This week, you’re learning to take your rose-tinted glasses off and to see your reality as it is. The truth can be a lot to take in, but the truth will liberate you in more ways than you can imagine. What’s more, you’re also breaking up with the people pleaser within as you make your way into Leo season. Golden words by best-selling author Brené Brown to contemplate on in the days to come, “True belonging does not require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”
Leo
We get it, Leo. It’s been a long and lonely road. You’re frustrated because you feel like you’ve been putting in the work, but you’re stuck in the same old patterns. Do yourself a favor and acknowledge all the ways in which you have grown since you first embarked upon this journey towards wholeness. What your higher self wants you to remember as you step into Leo season: there have been many shifts within the inner landscape even though your conscious mind cannot comprehend this. Trust that your outer reality will play catch up in the months to come! For now, practice patience and remind yourself that whatever you are dealing with is but ephemeral in nature.
Virgo
Observe. Observe the oscillations of the monkey mind. Observe all the lies it is feeding you with. Observe how it is creating the worst case scenario to keep you in a perpetual state of panic. This week, you’re being guided to drop the mind and return to the body; to return to the eternal now. Grounding exercises such as yoga, breathwork and free movement will empower you to anchor yourself in the present moment. If you’re longing to reconnect with your wild side, gather your crew and spend some time outdoors. Trust that Mother Gaia’s love will help you move into a space of wholeness. An affirmation to repeat as you channel your inner Zen Master: “I am held, I am protected, and I am exactly where I am supposed to be.”
Libra
Observe. Observe the tension between things as they are and how you want them to be. Observe what the Universe is showing you. Observe all the ways in which you are being called to move differently, to grow differently. By letting go of your false sense of control, you will find true freedom, Libra. Speaking of freedom, release expectations when it comes to your interpersonal relationships. Accept that the people in your life will disappoint you at some point in your journey together. Learning not to take things personally is a lesson you are being called to learn in this phase of your life, beautiful.
Scorpio
We get it, Scorpio. You’ve been hurt more times than you can count. You feel like you’ve been let down by those you believed would show up for you in more ways than one. Instead of intellectualizing your feelings or shutting down, accept when you’re at and what your inner landscape is showing you. At the same time, if you feel like you need to have a conversation with the other person or get closure, speak your truth with a brave and open heart.
Sagittarius
If your higher self could have a conversation with you right now, they would say: get out of your own way! So, get out of your own way, Sagittarius. Know that what you are seeking is seeking you as well. Know that the Universe is conspiring to bring into your existence that which you desire and deserve, beautiful. A powerful way to get your manifestation game back on is to remember who you are; to remember your power. Your unyielding faith in yourself will enable you to unlock hidden portals!
Capricorn
Your hurt and pain and anger and resentment are valid. But you know what’s greater than the sum total of the negative emotions you are experiencing at the moment? Yes, we’re talking about the power of love, Capricorn. So, tap into that inner reservoir of kindness and compassion as you let your heart expand. There is another way to resolve the given situation and/or heal the relationship in question. Let your inner wisdom guide you on this path.
Aquarius
But, how many times are you going to give them the benefit of the doubt, Aquarius? How many times are you going to get entangled in the same old drama or prioritize their needs over your own? The full moon in your sign later this week is showing what isn’t in alignment with your highest and greatest good. Let go with love. What’s more, the cards are bringing to your attention the people who have been hanging around you because of the position you hold or your influence. Become aware of the fair weather friends as you remember your time and energy are sacred, wild one.
Pisces
You’re not stuck, Pisces. There’s another way to navigate. There is a brand new reality available to you, now and in every moment. So reclaim the reins of your life, beautiful. Respond in a manner that feels in alignment with your future self rather than the version of you that you’re leaving behind. A powerful quote by author Brené Brown to contemplate as you step into the new week: “If you trade your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment and inexplicable grief.”
