Horoscopes. Because you're worth it.
(cue: flip hair)
A lot of you have asked me about my trip to the conference for spiritualists, scientists and magic people of all kind that I’ll be attending. I did, after all, say that I would give you not so much a play-by-play but a definite rundown of my time there. It’s coming up and I’ll most likely tell you about it after the fact. They ask that this be as much of a digital break as you can pull off. No pressure/all freedom. So stay tuned. But now let’s give a round of applause for your horoscopes:
Aries
Gurl. Time to leave it all behind. I’m talking addictions, bad decisions, bad relationships. This isn’t a scorched earth type of moment but it definitely is an unloading. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF SHAME. Remember, it was what you needed from it in the moment (please repeat this to yourself). Look at this time as a look into a lighter, easier, healed next week. Heavy, I know but even Aries must unload.
Taurus
Do you remember the Kool-Aid guy who used to bust through the wall? Well, Taurus, that’s you this week. It is a mini punk rock coming of age story. It’s a bust through the self created walls and other generational crap you use to protect yourself. Hot tip: make it fun and weird and be a big red pitcher. Also, my friend Mary from my Philadelphia days had a huge crush on the Kool Aid guy so be Mary and dig this chaos.
Gemini
Darlings. It’s sudden change. It’s maybe a little—-and I stress little—-inner crisis. BUT this means higher learning and much needed liberation. If there’s an area in which you are dumbing yourself down—-downright denying yourself your own magic—-embrace that and this will all go much smoother. The train to get out of Dodge will be on time, if not early, if you face what you have historically turned a blind eye to.
Cancer
Youthful energy is what you’re channeling this week, kids. The wonder, the giddiness (especially if you were denied it when you were actually a child) and this stresses GETTING RID OF REGRET. You don’t necessarily have to go directly to the original source of regret but whatever might free your energy can be the ticket. Book the trip, make the phone call, finally produce the installation piece, build the outdoor kitchen, buy the art. Dream big. It ain’t over till it’s over.
Leo
Oooooh….career and reputation!! I know you love this. This week it’s about how your emotional life corresponds to work and community. Think about how you’re viewed. There will be a direct connection to what got you into your line of work in the first place whether you have a big career that took heart and planning OR it’s just the thing you do to support what you love. Also, cash in where you can or at least look at the options and how to grow what you have. Better options are available but someone is doing a little gatekeeping. I know you hate gates.
Virgo
So much completion! That was the goal right? Organize, get it done. WELL, this week is about getting out of the stagnation that can come with such direction. This week the mantra “Take Flight” should be on the tip of your tongue. If you’re susceptible to casting spells, praying or just wishing really hard, now is your time. There’s a cast of rose color on your very specific viewfinder, Virgo, and run with it. Want success? Pick up the phone and MAKE THAT SHIT HAPPEN. Go.

Libra
You are the epitome of knowing what it’s like to want what you can’t have and how enticing it is. Largely because you are the desired thing of desire. James Dean on a motorcycle kind of want. It’s a lusty week. It’s also very very adolescent so please be kind. To those desiring you and to yourself. Teen level triggers can happen while you’re feeling good about your leather jacket. So please do make out in the back of your care but take a minute to make major decisions.
Scorpio
As much as you love the energy of the old, of the ancestors, of the hardened this is a week of fresh starts. It’s a week of letting in money, new cool stuff and fresh air. If you’ve been hibernating as you’re want to do, it may feel more abrupt than OH YAY. Please open the windows slowly. I don’t want you to turn your back on this opportunity(ies).
Sagittarius
Alas, the student. Get wide-eyed and curious. Not to let your guard down because things can be a little turbulent but do take in all the info coming at you this week. Next week is the week of strategy for you and all this learning (which we can decide not to appreciate a bit too easily) is for you to use like crazy in the near future. Be as eager as you can let yourself to find out what makes people tick. You’ll thank me sooner than you think.
Capricorn
Say yes. Be the sun. The sun creates. Make stuff. Accept all things in broad strokes. Let yourself shine. I know, that’s a bit twee for you, Capricorn, but pay attention. You have the opportunity to get mass kudos this week and your work horse nature could belittle it and OH BOY NELLIE you could regret it. Be glorious even if it feels uncomfortable because you’ve been in the habit of being humble. Get out of the convent, gorgeous. Show off the light.
Aquarius
You know “maybe” is always a perfectly acceptable answer. This week no major decisions need to be made. Also, this is the week that if there is a negotiation going on it’s time to stay quiet so the other person will talk their secrets away. Don’t turn anything down but a full agreement might not be the ticket. You’ve always been very good at looking at the earthlings like a new alien, run with that.
Pisces
I’m going to be honest with you, my manic pixie dream kids, think big and weird and DON’T LEAVE SCORCHED EARTH IN YOUR WAKE. There will be SUCH AMAZING TEMPTATION to burn it all down but this week the energies around you will want to copy what you do and the blaze could be bigger than you can handle. The best part of this is that if you want to start your real honest to goodness three ring circus or any other subculture dream you’ve every had, this is exactly the energy to need to run with it.
Thank you for coming to my astrological TedTalk. See you next week!
