Aries

March 21–April 19

If you’ve felt like you’ve been kept on a short leash lately, get ready to trade that for the rush of freedom as another Retrograde season comes to a close. Your subconscious self has been very busy processing lessons, life choices and long-term goals, and it’s now time to put those plans into action. Bring them from the drawing board into the real world as you tap into your confidence and reignite the spark to pursue your happiness. Plans for travel, educational/professional development and personal growth are all getting the green light now. Start mapping out the next chapter as this year comes to a close.

Taurus

April 20–May 20

The holiday season is in full swing and although you’re not usually much for the party scene, this year may present differently to you. You’ve been reflecting (or have been forced to reflect) on the company you keep, the communities you serve and the energy and time you spend on all of it. What have you learned about yourself in this process? What adjustments are you making going forward? A new 20-year cycle is beginning now in your area of career and public image; are you ready to step into the spotlight of your life and show up for yourself in new and exciting ways? Answer these questions to map out the next evolution of your journey.

Gemini

May 21–June 20

The focus of the moment is: Are your daily routines and habits supporting your curiosity for more? The call for more exploration, growth and lived experiences is coming from inside the house, and it’s time to take a look at what needs to shift day to day in order to provide the best possible environment for you to spread your wings and fly. A promotion or new opportunity in the area of your work life could also present itself at this time. Proceed with confidence but don’t forget to use discretion; the choices you make now will have an effect on all the expansion possibilities that you’re being ushered towards.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

As things become clearer and more in focus for you, dear Cancer, it’s best to take it all in and reflect on the themes that played out over the last few years in order to appreciate and understand the importance of the journey. A lot of heavy experiences have taken you into deep areas of personal boundary-pushing, but you are so much better for it. If you can’t see that now, you will soon. This is a time for examining, not experimenting. Try to be in ease of flow as much as possible. Don’t force anything. Clarity is coming.

Leo

July 23–August 22

When the luster begins to wear off and the shine is no longer blinding you to what’s hidden underneath, truths (sometimes hard ones) can be found—and our perception of people, places and events can change right before our eyes. This may be a time of awakening for you, sweet Leo. While not always pleasant, awakenings are monumental shifts in our lives that propel us forward so we can merge with future versions of ourselves. The person you’ve been focused on becoming? She’s here. But remnants of your old life will need to fall away now—so let them. There is a much better life waiting for you.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

Whatever is left over and has survived the great purging you’ve done over the summer is what’s meant to stay, dear Virgo. You can breathe a sigh of relief that the new cycles beginning now are marking the start of your next chapter and solidifying the progress and growth you’ve achieved towards your goals. The doors that have closed will not reopen and it’s onwards and upwards as you continue to take steps into your new life. Proceed with confidence and satisfaction; you’ve battled through every trial to be here now. Stand victorious in your earned place in the winner’s circle and bask in the glory of good karma and lessons learned.

Libra

September 23–October 22

Time to get moving on those new and inspiring plans that have made themselves known in recent months. You will find less resistance and more doors opening—all to encourage you to embrace a new era of fun in your daily life. How can you better facilitate harmony and balance in your everyday routines? It’s important to carve out space and time for enjoyment and the pursuit of happiness. Standing on that business will require you to be vocal about your new non-negotiables, so use that beautiful voice to speak your mind and declare your truths.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

You could be toying with the idea of moving lately; whether that’s to a new house, neighborhood, country…the options are being laid out in front of you. Practicality may not be top of mind for you as the feeling of wanting to do something completely different may overtake all else. And that’s OK. Whatever we focus our thoughts and energy on is what will open up for us as the laws of the Universe have dictated. Let your imagination run wild and play with all of the options you could run down for this dream to become a reality. This could also be the laying of groundwork for some long-term planning and goals, so don’t feel like you’re under pressure to make it all happen now.

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

Are you living your life the way you want to live it, sweet Sagittarius? Have you honestly communicated your true desires to yourself and others? It may be time to reconsider where you are and what is actually keeping you from going after what you want. Time to dust off the cobwebs and get back to your big ideas. Invite others in and collaborate on some common goals. Ignite your spark for life again and create the reality you want to live in all while inspiring others along the way. If that’s not the overarching purpose of being a Sagittarius, I don’t know what is.

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

You know all that internal pressure you’ve been cooking under for quite a few years now? Well, it’s now moving outside of you. While it will be a great relief to finally be able to breathe comfortably in your own skin, you’ll find that the focus will shift to external factors such as security and stability. This should come as welcome news as those are your specialty topics and life themes. You were made with the ability and prowess to understand how to create material safety for yourself. The next batch of challenges that show up are designed for you to know how to overcome them, savvy Capricorn. Use that big, beautiful brain of yours and meet every growth opportunity head on.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

Are you ready to have everything you know about yourself be turned inside out for deep examination, deconstruction and expert-level rebranding? Well, ready or not, your season of personal change is here, and this should be a very exciting prospect for you, lovely Aquarius. As the agent of unexpected shifts for the betterment of everyone,
this should be right up your alley. How challenging this timeframe can/will be for you is completely up to you and your ability to go with multiple flows at once (hint: you’re already a pro). Embrace the changing of the seasons in your life and let life surprise you with what can happen next.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

Isn’t it funny how when some things finally come into focus and begin to make sense, other things move into the mystery zone of confusion and make you question yourself all over again? That is the precarious tightrope you are walking right now, sweet Pisces. It can seem that for every step forward there is an equal step back, when in actuality each step in either direction is progress. Stay grounded in what you know and let the rest simply float around until it finds the right space to settle into. There’s no rush on this timeline. Everything will be revealed when it is meant to be.
