Happy Holidays!
Aries
You are so used to feeling like you must do things on your own. Maybe you feel as if your vitality has been stolen and you’re not sure how to get it back or where to turn. For you, Aries, this is a time to reflect on your approach to everything. Every time you consider a project, major interest, or goal ask yourself this: Who is supporting you? Are you surrounded by people who are uplifting your ideals? Are your closed ones fanning your flames or trying to put them out? Are you afraid of asking for support? This is a time to consider whether the moments you feel alone are due to lots of pressure from yourself or is it because you haven’t put any effort into building a support system that understands you and your desires? Whatever your case may be, don’t close yourself off, Aries. Open up.
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” -Bernard M. Baruch
Taurus
This year has been rough on you and maybe you wish you could catch a break. You feel like you have tried everything to get your feet off the ground and toward your goals, but something is just missing and you’re not sure what. This could be a breakthrough moment for you Taurus. The answer you’re looking for will not be found by stressing yourself out over your 10- year plan. Your hard work and diligence will reward you if you trust your path and your intuition. Embrace your power! Step into your confidence completely and you will reap the rewards where it was sown. Do not falter or give up on yourself and do not allow yourself to feel stagnant. This is your moment to make your dreams come true!
“The less confident we are in ourselves, the less we are in touch with ourselves and the world, the more we want control.” -Bruce Lee
Gemini
Itching to jump on your impulses, Gemini? Maybe you have been acting on your impulses and you haven’t felt satisfied. Maybe you’ve done a few things you regret this year or you’re constantly thinking about things you regret lately. Being bottled up can do a number on such an in-your-own-head zodiac sign like you. The energy of Saturn is asking you to slow down and plan things out, Gemini. You will be rewarded for following your instincts if you use discernment! This will be a theme for you. You will notice opportunities jumping out at you left and right and it’s up to you to figure out how to approach things so you’ll know which opportunities will benefit you in the long run.
“If you wish to find yourself, you must first admit you are lost.” -Brian Rathbone
Cancer
We hope you’ve been okay this year, Cancer. The stars have been dragging your heart all over the place this year. You’ve been losing and regaining your agency in cycles this year. Perhaps, you’ve had several revelations! It is also likely that, no matter what you’ve done, you can’t shake this feeling that you need more. You need more… something- what is it? You need more you, Cancer. Don’t let yourself be distracted by things that don’t serve you. It’s easy for you to overindulge in love and sorrow and allow those feelings to pull you away from your goals. Put those boots on and strap them up! If you’ve already discovered this by now, then you’ll be able to capitalize on your ongoing projects and become a powerhouse with a strong foundation moving forward. If you’re still in the process of becoming more cognizant of what is important enough to give your energy to then it will be made clearer to you during this time.
“It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Leo
Is it hot in here or is it just you, Leo? For the past several months your heart has been beating loudly and asking things of you that you cannot ignore- even if you’ve been trying. Have you been listening? You should. Your heart needs you to unlock the cage its been in and let it run wild and free. That has been scaring you a bit, I’ll bet. Have you been suffocating yourself? Or have you been drowning out your deep desires by trying to be bigger than the world? You can’t keep hiding from yourself no matter what it looks like. This cycle will reward you for being vulnerable and reaching out. If you’ve already found love or have reached a healthy point in your relationship with your heart, then your interpersonal relationships will continue to flourish in ways you’ve never imagined. Let your heart beat loudly, Leo.
“The strongest love is the love that can demonstrate its fragility.” -Paulo Coelho
Virgo
Stop fidgeting- you’re making us nervous! Virgo, are you ready to admit that you have not been taking care of yourself properly? You have been focused on a few very specific things for long while now- your nervous system has been through the ringer this year and instead of slowing down to take care of yourself, you’ve sped up! You’ve accomplished so much, and we are proud of you- but are your priorities in order? Anxiety is a mighty adversary to your peace of mind, and you’d do anything to avoid it. It’s time to reevaluate how you manage your time. Your focus should be on remaining as productive as you are without overcompensating or running from yourself. Create healthy boundaries with the people around you and for yourself and you will feel a sense of relief and joy wash over you as you step into your dreams.
“The temple, or the house of God, truly lies within us rather than outside.”- Michael Faust
Libra
What do you really want, Libra? Do you know? You’ve probably been spending your time asking yourself this question. It’s probably a recurring theme in your life. Are most of your decisions influenced by this question to yourself? Are you happy with who you’ve created in your eyes and in the eyes of those you care about most? Make a list of the things you’ve been doing, a list of the things you want to do, and a list of the things you’re good at and take note of which things crossover. Are your interests too spread out and different from one another? Time to get creative. You know what you want, Libra- you just need to make decisions! Your life is about to get very interesting and all you need to do is take control of the reigns.
“Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its nature.” -Marcus Aurelius
Scorpio
We sense that you feel quite shaken up- are you doing okay? It’s been rough to have change after change thrown at you and it seems like you can’t keep up. Don’t focus so much on how different everything is or why you can’t do things. You need to build a safe space for yourself so that you can grow comfortably through the tough times. Build, Scorpio. Keep building and don’t stop. When you hit a wall add it to your blueprints- build a door! Do not stop looking for ways to be comfortable. You’re not selfish or burdensome for needing time to process things. Your power will be found in embracing your need for personal space. Redecorate your room, meditate more, or find a special hobby- your best ideas will come to you during this period when you focus on keeping your inner peace.
“Do your own thing on your own terms and get what you came here for.” -Oliver James
Sagittarius
Oh, my goodness- what a time you’re in for, Sagittarius! You’ve either been all over the place or you’re a ticking time bomb that ready to explode right about now. You have got to get up and go somewhere and the stars are perfectly aligned for you to do so! Have you been talking to people about your dreams? Are you more active online? Are you able to present yourself to others confidently? You need to focus on self-expression and what you want to convey to the world. You have so much to say, Sagittarius, and it’s time to say it with your chest. Now, more than ever, you may feel like no one gets you. Maybe you feel like good things are happening, but you aren’t getting what you need from it because you’re lacking meaningful connections. The key to your success is self-awareness. You don’t have to be so guarded and frank and you don’t have to bulldoze through everything. Consider how you present yourself now- you’ll get the work done regardless.
“Some say, if you want success, surround yourself with successful people. I say, if you want true and lasting success, surround yourself with people of integrity.” -Charles F. Glassman
Capricorn
You have been gravitating toward a more stable mindset, Capricorn. It’s been for the better. You will reach fulfilment, but it will cost you those things you’ve been holding onto. This year has been about finding creative ways to get what you want. You don’t compromise on your desires and you take yourself seriously. You thrive when you are confident in your abilities. The kings and queens of “just do it.” Do not look at yourself from a position of lack. You are not a set of unfinished accomplishments or yet-to-come opportunities- you’re a human being. Learn to roll with the punches and trust that you will always be able to get what you want. Don’t let your losses define you or make you question yourself- that’s when you will falter.
“Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience- or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope.” -Jane Austen
Aquarius
Aquarius, are you enjoying this attention from Saturn? Our guess is that you don’t appreciate it very much. Can you say, ‘existential crisis?’ Let’s be honest, every waking moment of an Aquarian’s life is an existential crisis. Who are you? Why are you? How are you? This year has been a profound grab at self-actualization for you. You may feel like you’re being yanked in every direction and you don’t know what will satisfy you. Maybe, you do know, but you’re afraid of taking the next step. You’ve got to commit to yourself, Aquarius. Put in the work. Don’t shy away from opportunities to define yourself. You can’t keep living in the grey areas just so you can say you aren’t black and white- not if you want to be happy. If you strike gold when you’re digging- keep going. This time period will be groundbreaking for you. Be who you are and be firm. You’re about to unlock some doors that will grant you the clarity you’ve been craving. This will be an incredible moment in your life.
“Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.” -Gabriel García Márquez
Pisces
How have your dreams been lately? Are you having nightmares or reliving past traumas? You’re on the verge of something major, Pisces, but something is holding you back. Perhaps, you’ve felt this way for a long time. What are you holding onto? Which demons do you need to take out for coffee? Only you can unlock the massive potential you have right now. Chances are, you already know exactly what you need to do but maybe it hasn’t been the right time, or you didn’t feel prepared. Now is the time. If you’ve already closed that cycle then you are about to see yourself shine right now- you’ll only get brighter. When you push yourself forward, Pisces, you’ll be exactly where you want to be.
“Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.” - Roy T. Bennett
