Drop the judgements, Capricorn. Drop the stories you’ve been told about yourself. Drop the idea of who you should be and what your perfect reality should look like. Drop the pain, the guilt, and the shame. As you do, meet you. Meet the real you. The you that’s beneath the cloaks and the masks. The you that’s yearning to be loved and held and witnessed by you. Overheard at the cosmic conference: it’s time to get inebriated on the spirit of self-love. We get it, Taurus! You’re heavily meditated. You’ve pulled your Oracle card for the day, aligned your chakras, journaled your thoughts and even faced the demons who were lurking around in your subconscious. So, do yourself a favor and change your approach. Take a break from doing ‘the work’ and redirect your focus towards play. On your to-do list week: laughing with abandon, dancing with abandon, and singing with abandon. The most spiritual thing you can do for yourself and the world is to move into that space of joyous expansiveness within. Journal prompt, Gemini: what does living an authentic life mean to you? Do you give yourself the permission to express your truth unapologetically in every moment? As a birthday present to yourself, dedicate yourself to shadow-work. Ask yourself uncomfortable questions and allow the answers to emerge. Cultivating silence is a foolproof way of tapping into that infinite source of wisdom.
So what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let’s explore!
Aries
There’s much to give thanks for this week, Aries! Oh-so-much to be grateful for as you sip on your morning tea and watch the sun rise! Things may not be picture-perfect in your reality. But then again, they never are. The secret to happiness: finding joy and beauty in the present and approaching each moment with the gift of loving awareness. The cards are also reminding you of the Hermetic principle ‘As above, so below’. Trust that your interpersonal relationship will become a source of support and inspiration as you make your way into the chattiest season of the year.

We get it, Taurus! You’re heavily meditated.

Gemini
Journal prompt, Gemini: what does living an authentic life mean to you? Do you give yourself the permission to express your truth unapologetically in every moment? As a birthday present to yourself, dedicate yourself to shadow-work. Ask yourself uncomfortable questions and allow the answers to emerge. Cultivating silence is a foolproof way of tapping into that infinite source of wisdom within. In the words of author Brianna West, “Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side.”
Cancer
You’re in it! You’re in the life you manifested for yourself a long time ago, Cancer. You’re fulfilling your sacred purpose, making a difference and inspiring your fellow unicorns to step into the portal of their personal power. Your younger self would be so proud of you right now! But, when your plate is *this* full, it’s almost impossible to set time aside for who and what you love. Right? Wrong. Recognize the importance of nurturing your interpersonal ties and making space for that certain someone who brings much joy and beauty into your life. PS: If you’ve been thinking about making your feelings known, this is your cosmic cue to do so. The perks of making yourself vulnerable? Immeasurable.
Leo
But, who are you if not your job, your address, your designation, or your gender? This week, you’re being encouraged to meet you. The real you. The one who has been buried under layers and layers of conditioning. The journey back home can feel all kinds of intimidating, especially since it requires you to ‘unlearn’ a lot of what you’ve been told about yourself and the world around you. Keep going even when you doubt yourself and the journey you’ve undertaken. Trust that the treasures you’ll uncover within will blow your mind.
Virgo
It’s all a dream within a dream within a dream. Yet, we get so caught up in the good and the bad, the right and the wrong. Just for today, try to look at your circumstances from a neutral perspective. Understand that things are happening for you and not to you. That it’s all just a part of a virtual reality game that’s enabling you to face your inner demons and rise in a way that you truly desire on a soul level. Trust that you will meet a new version of yourself on the other side of this so-called storm. For now, focus on the things that bring you joy, that bring you closer to yourself. Making time for mindfulness and meditation are highly recommended at this moment.
Libra
You’ve had your heart shattered at the hands of those you’ve loved. You’ve experienced the depths of despair more than once in these past few months. But, you’ve also found a way to laugh through the tears and the failures. Know that your ability to embrace both agony and ecstasy with equal grace is truly a superpower. What you’re being reminded as you step into the new week: the worst is behind you and the best is yet to come. Rise, Libra, rise! Integrate the karmic lessons that your soul has chosen to grow through at this time.
Scorpio
But, you have a choice. You always have a choice. To repeat the mistakes of the past or to write a brand new story. Stepping into the unknown requires courage, strength and resilience. Remember that you are the main character of your life and that you’ve been blessed with the aforementioned qualities in abundance! On the romantic front, strengthen your boundaries. Here’s a cup of truth tea: if they’ve done it once, they could do it again. When people show you who they are underneath the masks, believe them the first time.
Sagittarius
We’re constantly praying for change. Asking the Universe to alleviate our circumstances and enable us to move to the next level of our personal evolution. The funny thing is, the closer we get to the desired destination, the more we find ourselves battling our inner demons. What the cards want you to remember, now and in every moment: you deserve to be happy. You deserve to live an expansive life. You deserve to make your wildest dreams a reality. So, do yourself a favor and offer resistance to the sacred fire as you remember that you are free. You are free to step into a brand new reality with ease.
Capricorn
Drop it, Capricorn. Drop it like it’s hot. Drop the judgements. Drop the stories you’ve told about yourself. Drop the idea of who you should be and what you perceive as the perfect reality. Drop the pain, the guilt, and the shame. As you do, meet you. Meet the real you. The you that’s beneath the cloaks and the masks. The you that is yearning to be loved and held and witnessed by you. Overheard at the cosmic conference: it’s time to get inebriated on the spirit of self-love. When it comes to your interpersonal relationships, practice forgiveness. Not everybody is going to dance the dance of life with you till the very end, and that’s okay. Release them with love as you give thanks for the precious moments you shared with them.
Aquarius
We get it, Aquarius. Making yourself vulnerable isn’t always easy, given how things turned out for you in the past. But, holding onto that old story is a foolproof way of sabotaging the present and rejecting the sweet elixirs that are being poured into your cup. So, do yourself a favor and journey back to that place of love, trust, faith and surrender within. Know that it’s safe for you to open your heart. Know that it’s safe for you to come as you are, beautiful. Don’t make the mistake of burdening your love with the expectation of ‘forever’, though. Allow this river to flow freely with the inner knowing that the Universe always has your back.
Pisces
You’re learning. You’re learning that you don’t constantly have to play the role of the healer, the nurturer, or the therapist in your interpersonal dynamics. You’re learning that reciprocity is the key to building healthy relationships and that you deserve to receive the same love, care and tenderness you so generously give other people. You’re learning that vulnerability is a strength and asking for what you need, want and desire does not make you a bad person. So, honor the voice of wisdom within and how it is urging you to prioritize yourself. Overheard at the cosmic conference: sometimes, you’ve got to put the people you care for to the test to see whether or not they’re willing to meet you halfway.
