3.6 Roentgen Not great, Not terrible...BitchScopes for July 26 - August 1


There’s an awful lot of Mercury afoot. Mostly our ability to communicate effectively is enhanced this week. But external influences may cause a shift in how we communicate. In other words, you might get pissed off and your mouth may let them know about it. In this case, your tongue can be a pretty sharp sword. Sometimes that’s a good thing. But be careful how and with whom you express yourself.

Relationships may feel a little wonky and slightly out of sync. It will pass. Another reason to keep your words in check.

Overall it isn’t the most sunshiney, rainbows and unicorns week. It’s not awful either.

In the HBO series Chernobyl, one of the characters is measuring ionizing radiation. The following quote has made its way onto t-shirts and other merch, and aptly describes the snapshot of this week: “3.6 Roentgen Not great, Not terrible”

This week’s scopes are written with “mitigation of bullshit” and “survival of fuckery” in mind.


July 26
  • Mercury trine Pallas - your words are influential.
July 27
  • Mercury quincunx Jupiter - our thoughts and beliefs may be exaggerated, maybe overly optimistic about something
  • Mercury enters Leo - dramatic and charismatic expression
  • Mercury sextile Ceres - your compassion is easily expressed
July 28
  • Jupiter Rx enters Aquarius - humanitarianism. Realistic view of self within the group
  • Mars square Ceres - possibly an intense need to nurture
  • Venus square North Node = you may be relying on others or external circumstances to get you to your goals and dreams.
  • Mercury sextile Lilith - your more rebellious thoughts can be expressed without major repercussions
July 29
  • Mars enters Virgo - exactness, focus on details
  • Mars opposite Jupiter - desire to win, competitive
  • Venus square Juno - disagreements about commitments with partner(s)
July 30
  • Venus quincunx Saturn - bank account may be tight or stressful; love could feel meh
  • Mercury sextile Vesta - work and passion projects take your attention
  • Jupiter square Ceres - your ideals may butt heads with your desire to nurture something/someone

  • Ceres enters Gemini - nurturing by information
  • Sun trine Juno - bonds of love are strengthened
August 1
  • Mercury trine Juno - good communication with partner
  • Mars square Lilith - your various internal drives may be frustrated; bajiggity need for independence
  • Venus quincunx Chiron - your self worth may be floundering a bit. Old wounds come up and make you feel crappy
  • Sun opposite Saturn - feeling under pressure from others
  • Sun conjunct Mercury - your mental processes are energized
  • Mercury opposite Saturn - serious thinking, sometimes a bit gloomy
August 2
  • Venus trine Uranus - unexpected and positive emotional experiences (romance)


ARIES - Watch out for a tendency to be overly optimistic, or too trusting, You may be too focused on the details and need to back up to see the big picture. You have a lot more personal power in this situation (whatever came to mind when you read that) than you think. Like...a lot more. Don’t misuse it, but don’t give it away to anyone else either. Play your hand in a way that benefits you but doesn’t harm the other party.

TAURUS - Vulnerability is great, but it must be matched with a certain amount of strength. Don’t over give in this situation (the one you just thought about when you read that). You should feel free to tap in to your badass side and throw your hat into the ring. Let your competitive side show up to the party.

GEMINI - This could be a watery week for you. And for an air sign, too much emotional stuff can be very confusing. Your artistic and intuitive drives are in high gear, and you have the ability to solve almost anything at the moment. Stay open to the many possibilities, and try not to have expectations with too many details involved. Keep your manifesting and your communications open ended.

CANCER - You a poised to have a very productive week, with the cooperation of others on your side, but beware of having too many cooks in the kitchen. Don’t give away control of your brilliant ideas until you’re sure you have the team in place to really support you. When this gets off the ground, you will feel very satisfied and rewarded, so keep at it!

LEO - You can have stability and abundance, but it is an artform to achieve the balance. You may feel frustrated right now about the seeming lack of progress on your personal projects or desires. There is progress happening, but consider the idea that maybe you’re playing it too safe. Risk and reward are 2 halves of the same coin.

VIRGO - You’re restless, bored, and ready for some things to happen, damnit. They will. But try to keep your restless energy in check. If you don’t, you may be overly harsh with people who don’t deserve it. You have every reason to believe that a breakthrough is right around the corner. New opportunities and big progress on your path are not too far off!

LIBRA - Disappointment is really hard for you. Sometimes other people’s disappointment weighs on you just as much as your own. When things don’t go the way we want, we can get really irritated and frustrated, but in the grand scheme, the Universe does have our backs! “All things work together for good”

SCORPIO - Your healthy innate sense of paranoia works to your benefit this week. You don’t need to be paranoid, actually. But your bullshit detector will be in fine shape. Some kind of fuckery or deceit could be at play. It's nothing to be afraid of, not that you would be...ust something to be aware of this week. You won’t need to create or even respond to any drama, as you can be stealthy and prevail.

SAGITTARIUS - You may be suffering from analysis paralysis this week. You are a powerful manifester, but you may be lost in the weeds. Don’t fret about the details, let the Universe sort that out. Be clear on your goal, but don’t attach yourself to a particular person, place or thing. Focus on the feeling of having what you want, period.

CAPRICORN - Sometimes our strengths can work against us a bit...as is the case with you and your ability to withstand all kinds of bullshit. People sometimes take for granted that you will be fine, because you always are, and you rarely ask for help. However, success comes when we surround ourselves with the right people to support and help us. Look at your team and see if this is true for you. If not, make adjustments and ask for help for fucks sake!

AQUARIUS - I’m tellin’ you...victory is at hand! You may not see it at the moment, but you’re real close to your goal or dream. Don’t let your idealism get in the way...progress over perfection. Get your ducks in a row, make your plans, and attempt to be organized as if the thing you’ve been manifesting is eminent...cuz it is. Woot!

PISCES - When you start to feel the pressure this week, don’t panic. Don’t run. Don’t avoid. You don’t necessarily need to lean in and cause a bigger fuss either. Try to be neutral, flexible without bending too much, and confident. The Universe has your back on this...trust that any conflict you feel this week, will ultimately benefit you.

Traffic Jam in the asteroid belt - Bitchscopes for July 19-26



Well, the bitches are busy this week, kids! And by “bitches”, I mean the goddesses (over half the many transits this week involve the asteroids).. Vesta fans the flames of our professional or vocational passions, Lilith creates sparks of rebellion by making several strong aspects, and Eris is there to just sprinkle some gasoline on the fire. Then there’s the full moon to illuminate any irritations we might be covering.

But don’t fret! In between irritations and annoyances, we do get an injection of fun. The sun moves into Leo this week, reminding us the importance of play and creativity.

Clients often tell me that they are not creative when I suggest the need for an outlet. But it isn’t just about scrapbooking, painting, knitting and decorating. Creativity can come via gardening, cooking, sex, or just laughter and joyful movement. Sometimes just putting on make up that you wouldn’t normally can perk your creative brain cells. Just shaking your booty or using a hula hoop can activate your sacral chakra, which is the seat of creativity.

Particularly in the U.S. where we are conditioned to basically work ourselves to death and handcuff ourselves to our jobs, we struggle with the concept of fun and play. Not everything you do has to have purpose and be productive. (If you’re a Capricorn or a Virgo, read that last sentence twice.)

All work and no play makes Jackie a dull girl? Well no. Jackie is a boss bitch making her mark on the world. But she, meaning we, also need to have fun and play without guilt. Our greatest successes will come from the gifts we were born with and the passions we follow. That doesn’t always equate to “nose to the grindstone” all hours of the day. The Full Moon in Aquarius is likely to highlight the collective needs. This moon is interesting because we have another full moon in Aquarius next month! 

Aquarius is the water carrier, as you probably know. Many people assume Aquarius is a water sign, but it is an air sign, connected to mental energy. Aquarius’ function in the zodiac is to scoop up the emotions of the collective, run them through the collective filter to determine what it needs. Then it is poured back down into our collective consciousness imbued with awareness of those needs. Aquarius is a big picture thinker, a visionary, a future thinker, and relies on other detail oriented signs to get the job done. As Divine Design would have it, the signs on either side of Aquarius are really good at painting in the details: Capricorn and Pisces. Virgo and Gemini (the other detail driven air signs. While I feel Libra is also a bit more big picture about justice and harmony) are also good and focusing broad Aquarian ideas into something digestible.

That Cancer New Moon a couple weeks ago really brought a lot of old stuff up for healing. Aquarius is here to take Cancer’s watery feelings to the transmutation mill. I’m getting a little stupid with my analogies... Anyway, the point is...the Aquarius full moons will shift things. Once our water gets filtered and redelivered, it will be different. We are healing. We are feeling inspired to right wrongs with real change (i.e. Indigenous burials in North American and recognition of genocide and widespread assholeishness).

Feel. Deal. Heal.

Play. Pray.


OKAY?

July 26


ARIES - Your focus this week should be on your family. Either your own child, or your inner child, requires some space for healing. Try to loosen the reigns a bit and allow for organic expression to happen. If you have been focusing too much on things outside the home, you’d be wise to make adjustments and bring things into balance before things are brought into balance for you.

TAURUS - Adjustment to find balance between work and home is necessary. Ironically, where you feel stifled is probably the area that needs your attention and focus. Check in with your loved ones and spend some time connecting. Chances are you’ve been working quite a lot and have fallen out of some of your good family habits.

GEMINI - Focus on what you know, as well as what you believe. Be honest and truthful about your feelings. Be diligent about finding facts, and work on releasing your own biases. When you speak, your words carry more importance than you realize. So when you choose to stand for something, it really matters.

CANCER - This week your finances are highlighted. You should feel pretty motivated about making and earning money. But fears about debt or taxes may be distracting you. If you’re in a pickle with that 8th house stuff, have compassion for yourself. Get a grip and concoct a plan. If all else fails, sex might do the trick to help you!

LEO - This full moon may shine a light on some dysfunctional relationship issues in your world. Your self confidence will be high, but you may feel challenged in the emotional department when it comes to relationships. The trick is finding balance between vulnerability and strength - and you can have both!

VIRGO - You may have a breakthrough or epiphany this week which will bring “balance to the force”, so to speak....Your force...your inner balance. Once you have this realization, you’ll wonder how you didn’t always see it. This may have to do with a health issue, and it may go way back in your personal history, once you connect all the dots. Your intuition and body wisdom will be very strong, and you will be able to overcome whatever this imbalance is.

LIBRA - While you may be trying to do the right thing for the team, whatever the team may be, you may have some feelings of insecurity about your own situation or personal position. It is very important that you tap in to and acknowledge your inner child when this issue shows up. You are no longer a helpless kid. Give to yourself the same energy you give to the team.

SCORPIO - Your professional goals or the part of your life which is “public facing” should get a boost this week. While your home life may feel scattered and messy, your career path may open up in a surprising way. It is a teeter totter, and one side affects the other. For whatever is out of your control, there are things within your control...so focus on those things.

SAGITTARIUS - There is something you are going to be called to teach. It may not be in a classroom, but you do have wisdom to share. This full moon (and the next) may illuminate whatever this is, as well as why it is important. This may come in the form of an opportunity where your specific knowledge is needed. If so, the organization will be one that you can’t miss...this will be obvious.

CAPRICORN - The money is coming. This is some sort of passive income flow, and it is getting kicked off very soon. Your feelings about your “job” may be a little confusing right now, but don’t go crazy when the check shows up. Maybe for a second I forgot I was talking to a capricorn...sorry. Anyway, chin up...things are going to start moving either between these 2 Aquarius full moons, or shortly after.

AQUARIUS - Not all who wander are lost. Probably no one knows that better than you and Pisces. In this case, your sense of self and who you are may be undergoing a shift and you may feel confused and bajiggity as a result. If you are in a solid relationship, it will support you through this minor weirdness until you find your feet again. Otherwise, you may find comfort in a very good friend. But this weirdness will pass.

PISCES - You may be the lucky bitch of the zodiac this week. Your sense of vitality and energy should get a boost. Your body may feel stronger than it has. Motivation is yours. Meanwhile your feelings should be lined up and in a familiar, comfortable place. Any funky feelings that come up as a result of this moon, you will be able to navigate them better than in past weeks.

Eris is the tip of the arrow...


Apologies for my posting this later than usual. I got a migraine headache, which started a day before the new moon in Cancer. It is connected to hormones, and my daughter’s cycles seem to trigger mine. Great fun. I looked at when I last had a killer migraine it was in February at the end of a Gemini moon cycle. Gemini is my ascendant, and apparently transits to your ascendant can cause headaches. Since this is a moon transit...my hormones (and the literal fruit of my loins and her hormones) are involved. Very interesting and yet very, very annoying. I have said before that I think it is bullshit that the chemicals that literally run our body and keep us alive start petering out so early in life. Back a couple hundred years ago, women were dead before they had to deal with menopause. I’m glad we live longer, but I feel like our endocrine systems need to catch the fuck up! We also become depleted of melatonin as we age, which is why we struggle with sleep cycles. Our digestive enzymes also become depleted. Basically I’m just throwing a tantrum about evolution being a bit too slow for my liking. But back to the astrology...

The big deal this week is a tense cardinal T square between the Sun, Pluto and Eris! This energy will be with us for a while. Eris is at the apex of this T square so a lot of the energy will be released through her. She is an archetype of the dark Divine feminine: a warrior, righteous anger, jealousy, misogyny, feminine rage. The 3 planets form a triangle, with the weak point being opposite the apex...the missing 4th leg. In this case it would be Libra, symbolizing justice and balance and harmony. So I think we can expect a lot more to be revealed around women’s rights and social justice. To counter the tension and friction, we need to lean in to our Libra energy.

Both Vesta and Lilith change signs this week, to Libra and Gemini respectively. Lilith in Gemini can make you feel shame or guilt or wrongness for speaking too much or too little, or similar energy of rejection of your voice.

Vesta will trine Lilith on Monday the 19th, which may fuel us with righteous anger toward a personal goal.

Neptune, Venus, and multiple quincunxes this week also signals the need to compromise, be flexible, adjust your expectations, and be aware that your perception is not 100% in focus right now. Relationships may feel challenged/challenging.


Monday July 12
  • Mercury trine Jupiter - good news and optimism
Tuesday July 13
  • Venus conjunct Mars - desire to connect
  • Pallas opposite Vesta - passionate about your personal beliefs
Thursday July 15 
  • Sun trine Neptune - increased sensitivity and empathy
  • Venus quincunx Neptune - disappointment or disillusion in a loved one; misplaced compassion
Friday July 16 
  • Sun square Eris - triggering energy; exclusion and acting out
Saturday July 17
  • Venus trine Eris - empowered action
  • Pluto trine Ceres - transformative nurturing
  • Mercury quincunx Juno - some friction or miscommunication in relationships
  • Sun opposite Pluto personal crisis - Struggle for control
Sunday July 18 
  • Lilith enters Gemini - can trigger shame for speaking too much /too little; captivating with words
  • Venus quincunx Pluto - relationships challenged; compromise required
  • Mercury quincunx Saturn - feeling out of sorts and disorganized
  • Mars quincunx Neptune - your drive and energy is likely to be off; desire to escape
  • Sun sextile Ceres - inspired nurturing of your goals
Monday July 19 
  • Venus square Ceres - careful not to suffocate your loved ones with too much nurturing
  • Vesta trine Lilith - our passion fuels our righteous anger and goals
  • Mercury square Chiron - internal friction as you work through wounds
  • Vesta enters Libra - striving for equality (in career/office), harmony

Taking all of that into consideration, this week’s scopes are written with a combination of astrology placements and channeled goddess messages to show you how to really fill your cup, regardless of your gender.

ARIES - You’ll like this week’s prescription: take no shit. take action. If a person or male figure of authority is usurping your personal power, put your foot down. Your power is in your words right now. For all the times you’ve been counseled to cool your jets, right now is a time to take a risk, take action, reclaim what is yours, speak up, and kick ass. You’re ready. You’ve got this. ( I'm gonna pop some popcorn and watch <3)

TAURUS - The wheels are turning in your favor, and you, like Aries, have permission to kick some ass this week. However...you are cautioned to kick ass with kindness. Go after what you want, let go of what you don’t want. But don’t be cruel and ruthless, even if that is an option. (I don’t think you would be anyway.) Real love is based in respect. Truth can be stated gently. Roses have thorns, and the thorns don’t detract from its beauty….they are sharp because they protect the rose.

GEMINI - There’s a lot you want to accomplish, maybe suddenly, or maybe it just reignited recently. You are now in, or about to enter, a period of high creativity and inspiration. Even though you’re a very intellect oriented person, get your ass out into nature to really keep the juices flowing. When offers and opportunities roll in, stay in alignment with your beliefs. Spider is your totem, good luck charm, and sign for the next while.

CANCER - Where you find competition or tension, your Ace card is integrity and diplomacy. Even if it seems at first like you’ve lost out, hang tight. Things are not what they initially seem. After you have acted with wisdom and tried to be a voice of balance in the situation, have patience and let things unfold. Your right actions and alignment with truth will be the winner.

LEO - Whatever it is you’re attempting to manifest or create, the secret lies in Mother Earth. Your natural habitat is not camping in the woods, though that would benefit your process right now. Short of camping, do what you can to connect to nature. Ground yourself daily, utilize the cycles of the moon, and then manifest like crazy!

VIRGO - You are being forced to find balance. It probably is not much fun at the moment, but part of all cycles of fertility and growth is the rest period. The space between harvest and planting. You are in that stripped down place now. And because things are moving slowly, you can take this opportunity to really give back to yourself, because that’s where the balance is needed. Experiment with different healing modalities and creative outlets to see what really lights you up. When the cycle changes, as it always does, you will be more ready than ever.

LIBRA - You’re entering uncharted territory, at least for you. Things are coming together, even if out of your sight right now, in a way that will surprise you in the near future. Take time to plan for your success so you can enjoy it when it comes. But don’t wait for a path to light up in front of you...you can find your way in the dark. Follow your heart and your gut (even though as an air sign you’ll want to follow your logic) and you will land exactly at a place that has been prepared for you.

SCORPIO - I won't’ beat around the bush - you have shadow work to do. The current energy is going to heal your mother wound. There’s no real getting around it, it is going to happen. But this is not meant to be a horrible process. It might sting a little at times, but the healing will be profound. Take time to think about your mother, yourself as a mother, the other mothers in your family. Look at your wounds and acknowledge them. Forgive yourself and others. Forgive your resentment for not receiving what you needed or wanted. Then be a good patient and let the healing take place.

SAGITTARIUS - Love requires risk. But If you feel like you’re being tested, you are. You are close to the beginning of a cycle in which you will experience the abundance and love you’ve been working on manifesting for a long time. But before you get there, you will be tested to make sure you know where to find your integrity. (Hint: it's next to your vulnerability.)

CAPRICORN - Even the king of the mountain must rest. Yes, really. You will need to be on your best game in the coming weeks. To maintain a sharp mind and precision skills, you need to rest. When it is time to “move yer bloomin arse”, stay singularly focused on your goal/passion. Don’t be distracted. Don’t get impatient. Counsel yourself the way you would counsel a frustrated child, and sometimes, children need naps. (You are the child…)

AQUARIUS - Your limits will be tested by others in some kind of competitive environment. Your advantage is between your ears. Don’t create trouble where it doesn’t exist, even if you’re sure it's coming. Shut up. Be slow to give your opinion and overly soft in its delivery. This will feel as if it goes against all your instincts, but trust this process. Your grounded and centered energy will win this battle.

PISCES - Something is ending, and it may be something dear to you. You may not be able to put a finger on it, it may just be a vague feeling of something within you changing. But this ending is not all sad. There is a celebration in it somewhere. This change is what you have been praying for. But endings and beginnings are twin flames. So when you feel that vague sense of loss, realize that a celebration is close on its heels, coming up through the ashes...

BitchScopes for July 5-12


This week your thoughts may be pretty pointed and you could find yourself wanting to call someone on their bullshit. While Neptune is retrograde, our intuition is actually stronger, and we may see a situation with a unique clarity. But of course we have to be prudent and sheath our sharp tongue for our own benefit, because the focus this week is truly about nurturing our loved ones and finding support from them for ourselves.

Both career and partner relationships are on stage this week. Your partner is likely to be a source of support for you, or you to them. The one challenge to that would be Venus square Uranus on the 8th. But I’m choosing to interpret that as a desire for positive change within the relationship based on new information rather than old baggage. That may not feel positive in the moment, but I feel you will be able to sense that there’s a supportive undercurrent to Uranus’ effects.

The New Moon in Cancer underscores this. We will be focused on nurturing, sentimentality, and feeling our feelings. New moons are always an opportunity for a fresh start. And in this case, relationships and family ties and experience positive influences. Try to view everyone as though they are 5 or 6 years old and see how it influences your interactions with them. Do this for yourself too. If you have old pictures, get them out and look at little you. Who were you then? Where are those parts of yourself now? They’re still in there...do those parts have expression? Play with that energy.



July 5

Sun sextile Uranus - pleasant surprises and exciting experiences


July 6

  • Mercury square Neptune - distorted thinking and confusion
  • Vesta quincunx Eris - a challenging situation at work wherein you will want to speak your mind because you see through the bullshit, but you need to consciously craft your delivery.
  • Venus opposite Saturn - loneliness, isolation, delays with money or love
July 7
  • Mercury sextile Eris - realizations and empowering epiphanies
  • Venus trine Chiron - reciprocal energy: relationship(s) provide healing; healing benefits relationships
July 8
  • Mercury quincunx Pluto - deep (possibly dark) thoughts
  • Mercury square Vesta - irritations and interruptions in your work
  • Venus square Uranus - anxiety and sudden changes with love or money; desire for freedom and excitement
July 9
  • New Moon Cancer - positive change, compromise with partner, nurturing
  • Pluto trine Vesta - shifts that provide more control in your work life
  • Neptune sextile Ceres - feeling connection to family and loved ones
July 10
  • Mercury square Pallas - desire to assert yourself and state your thoughts passionately; frustrated communication
Jul 11
  • Mercury enters Cancer - our thoughts and communication are more emotion-based; sentimentality
July 12
  • Mercury trine Jupiter - good news and optimism



ARIES - Your enthusiasm toward a personal goal or achievement may feel delayed or unreachable . If you’ve been sidelined or otherwise held back, find the thing in your way and utilize it to your advantage. It could also be, though this would be somewhat unusual for an Aries, that you haven’t fully committed to whatever this thing is. More likely: you haven’t thought it through completely. When you manifest, and wish, bond yourself to that wish with a vow to stay the course. And if you just aren’t sure WTF you’re striving for, look to the water in your chart for clarity.

TAURUS - You are consistent in your actions, or in your inactions. A repeating pattern of disappointment might be because you haven’t finished your homework. When you get discouraged, your famous stubbornness kicks in and you have a tendency to throw in the towel. Knock that shit off. Do as much as you can today. Then do as much as you can tomorrow. Keep doing that until you’ve pushed past your own limited belief. Look to the Sagittarius in your chart for inspiration.

GEMINI - This week, lean in to your mama bear energy to protect what is yours by birthright. One of those things, which we tend to think we must earn, is joy. Protect your joy! It isn’t something you have to work for or deserve, it is a birthright, so claim it. Don’t let your job steal it. Don’t let your duties as a parent or a partner overshadow it. Don’t give it away out of some act of penance. If there is something you long for but don’t feel you deserve, get out of your own way and go after it. Damnit.

CANCER - Trust the momentum of the river that carries you. If weird things are distracting you, go ahead and follow them. There is wisdom even in wandering. Even your anxiety about certain things contains wisdom: Is it fear or is it excitement? When stuck at a choice or crossroad, pick the option that is the fairest to YOU. You tend to sacrifice your desire for the good of the family or tribe and this is your message from the Universe to pick something for you!

LEO - You are at the threshold of a life change. It isn’t really a choice, it is happening. But the great news is, this is the good shit! You’ve been waiting, working, hoping...and it is coming. Leos get a bad rap too often for being vain and conceited. But what is coming for you is due to your self confidence and charm that you naturally exude. Be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. Don’t downplay them just because other people are jealous. Own that shit, sis!

VIRGO - Things are going to start moving very soon. But take note: when things don’t look or feel the way you’d hoped, look for the blessing in the reality of the situation. You are good at finding the flaw in a system or process, or even in people. In this situation, what you may label as the fatal flaw could actually be the superpower. Wear your vulnerability or disappointment as a badge of courage. The destination where you end up is better than the one you’d imagined.

LIBRA - You’re in the midst of (or will be soon) a change that you’ve sought for a long time. You may feel a bit overwhelmed, both with the work, and by your emotions. Take a moment to realize that past betrayals have pushed you into current blessings. Rejection and protection are 2 halves of a coin. Bless the people who hurt you, and you’ll find that your own blessings multiply.

SCORPIO - You may feel worn out from carrying the weight of your passions. Don’t give up. Push through. Get mad if you need to. But pursue that dream with passionate vengeance. Lean into the fire in your chart to feed your internal fire. Your passion is also your purpose, and you can’t screw it up as long as you are acknowledging it. Don’t hide it under a bushel….let it shine!

SAGITTARIUS - Your innate idealism and optimism are serving you well. When you start questioning if you belong in a particular situation, relationship, place, etc., the answer to that question is in the asking. In other words, no. It is probably time to take a different path and go your own way. Your quest for truth will land you in a much better place. Keep an open mind and believe in what others would call impossible.

CAPRICORN - If you’ve ever been caught in a riptide in the ocean, you know how frightening it can be. The trick is to keep your wits and swim parallel to the shore line until you’re out of the current. You have to use the ocean’s power to overcome the ocean’s power… The situation you’re in now is similar. Keep your head. The fact is you are better prepared and have planned far more effectively than your “opponent”, who isn’t paying attention to how deep the water is. Watch the waves and just keep swimming (you ARE a sea goat after all, not just a mountain climber!)

AQUARIUS - You are about to step in to a period of ease and abundance that has long eluded you. But to recognize it, you need to purify your desires...meaning, get really clear on what it is you want. Don’t be too specific about what the thing looks like, but what does it feel like? Focus on essence, not form. You have the intellect and the skills to have and keep success right in your pocket. You will have the freedom to fill your own water vessel, rather than carrying everyone else’s.

PISCES - Withdraw from the chaos of life whenever possible and examine the path you’re currently on. Visualize a torch on either side of that path. What do those 2 lights represent? It is important you be clear about this and match your forward movement with your personal ethics. You are likely to find yourself in a position of having to choose between 2 opportunities, and understanding what your torches are will make the decision much easier.
