Leo and Leo Rising
Leo, how you love those around you is front and center this month. Give love generously, reflect on your definitions of community, and reassess your expressions of care. Of course, this relates to how you honor and are in a relationship with yourself, as well as others. Find ways to tend to your fire so it can burn, burn, and burn, and then allow it to warm others gently, tenderly, with fierce and kind embers of support.
Virgo and Virgo Rising
Virgo, this month find ways to connect to your inner rage. This doesn’t mean allowing your feelings to unleash on others; instead, it means slowing down and getting quiet enough to hear yourself. This month wants you to grieve. It wants you to process. It wants you to write poems or sing songs that honor the anger in your body and your bones. You are too attentive not to have passion. Your perception allows you to feel the human experience in a depth and myriad of ways if you allow it.
Libra and Libra Rising
Libra, this month asks you to reassess your relationships with others, asking you if there is proper balance in your community and your partnerships. If this is hard to grapple with, turn to your dreams, your subconscious, and your shadow. What lurks in the outskirts of your waking life might offer you a key. Take this key gladly, and then reimagine how you can best contribute and support the work of others, and in turn, your projects will flourish.
Scorpio and Scorpio Rising
Scorpion, your higher calling is calling. Will you answer? We are here so briefly. This month reminds you to follow, cultivate, and be in a relationship with your dreams. Ask yourself, “If I could spend my time doing anything, what would it be and why?” Then, assess why you’re not doing these things, or how to do them more fully. If you are living your dreams already, pause for a moment to reflect and thank yourself for this great gift. Celebration is a sacred act.
Sagittarius and Sagittarius Rising
Sagittarius, while you are often facing outward, pointing your arrow toward your desires, this moment calls for something different. As you hold your bow, glance instead to your feet. Are they planted firmly? What sort of foundation are you standing on? And, of course, I’m referring to the metaphor of foundation. Where are your roots, archer? If you haven’t paid attention to where you’re coming from, you might be missing something about where you’re going.
Capricorn and Capricorn Rising
Capricorn, you are having a rebirth moment. And though rebirth moments can be generative and generous, they often ask for a sacrifice or a departure. This month asks you to let go of what has been becoming heavy other the past few months. You are ready for the next phase. Step through and across the threshold powerfully, wise Goat.
Aquarius and Aquarius Rising
Aquarius, this month asks you to honor your sacred collaborations. Simply stated, imagine how you’d like to be of service in the world, and then work to build clear and kind agreements with those aligned with these offerings. I often consider the words of Leonard Cohen, “Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your/perfect offering/There is a crack, a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in.” Remind yourself of this anthem this month if you are looking for a lantern.
Pisces and Pisces Rising
Pisces, your identity is shifting. Like the plates in the earth, it could be slow and over time, or abrupt like an earthquake. But never fear. What breaks and falls away is no longer meant for you. And through this passage of time, you will feel more and more like yourself. The collective so truly needs the next iteration of you. Keep going.
Aries and Aries Rising
Aries, this month is all about romance. Some portals: what is your relationship to romance? How do you romance yourself? How do you practice romance in your relationships (platonic and romantic)? Step through one (or all) of these openings, and explore the possibility that waits on the other side. Speak aloud about your needs and desires as a daily practice. And then, practice listening to the needs and desires of those in your circles.
Taurus and Taurus Rising
Taurus, big changes are afoot, but that’s okay; with great change comes great magic and possibility. In the Tower Card in Tarot, people are pictured falling from a crumbling tower, and yet, from their hands fall seeds. Even if you feel like your foundation is crumbling, remember there are potent seeds in your grasp. Allow them to fall on the welcoming earth.
Gemini and Gemini Rising
Gemini, this month asks you to have difficult conversations with your family and your chosen family. Do so with love whenever possible, and your willingness to uncover the shadow will be significantly rewarded (even if it feels painful at first).
Cancer and Cancer Rising
Cancer, this month wants to chat with you about your ideas of value. What are you placing value on right now? And is this the best service for your wants and needs? It’s okay to make a change. Rest and reflection will show you the pathway ahead, one that your intuition knew the whole time.
