Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Happy birthday Cancer! Be patient with yourself and changes you want to make. It’s time for meditation and visualization, but not quite time for manifestation. Ask your soul for small steps you can take that will provide a foundation for future abundance and happiness. Also, tell loved ones you appreciate their compliments and encouragement. Dwell on their words as positive affirmations.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – Don’t give up on spiritual disciplines and personal growth activities! Analyze them to see if the path you are on is right for you. But don’t abandon a method because you’re not getting fast results. Maybe the Universe is saying what you’re asking isn’t your highest good. A great mantra would be "I am open to my highest good, no matter what it looks like". You’ll also have insights into new avenues of prosperity!

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – You might start a new relationship, or have opportunities to improve your current partnership. But here’s the key: heal your self-esteem. If you’re super self-critical, your heart won’t be open to receive love. Stand up to those negative voices in your head! Forgive people who’ve judged you in the past! Also, be aware of your own judgments of others. They cover up your fear of intimacy.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – Don’t be afraid to make changes in relationships by setting healthy boundaries. Any person who won’t accept your limits needs to go! You’ll make room for ethical people. This will be a revolution in your world. You need people who treat you as good as you treat others! In other news, you might start a new health or fitness regimen that helps you lose weight and firm up. Don’t be overly strict, because you need gentleness too.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) – Beware of old resentments popping up. Also, look for subtle ways you sabotage yourself. Meditation time is easier if you add movement (yoga, walking, tai chi, etc). You can burn off some aggressive energy, clear your mind, and get to the truth of your soul. Forgiveness will open your life to better health and less anxiety. You might also have opportunities at work, since you will be emotionally available and people find you approachable. People want to be around you when you’re peaceful.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – Relationships are going to a deeper level. This can make you feel "trapped", or bring up thoughts of failed bonds from the past. Use your meditation time to calm your heart. Don’t make any rash decisions this month. Trusted friends help you stay balanced. Don’t let your ego tell you that the person is "boring", or that "the thrill is gone". The true thrill is experiencing more intimacy. Stick with things until you feel renewed excitement. Meanwhile, try to think of this as an adventure into uncharted waters.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – Your career is at an all-time high! Saturn is helping you achieve many dreams. However, if you feel stuck, see what you need to let go of in order to reap your rewards in the job area. Don’t stay if you’re not getting the pay, respect, and challenge you deserve! Also, rid your home of clutter. It’s important not to feel bogged down in your living space. At the same time, look at ways to heal unhealthy emotional patterns with family.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – You’re reaping the benefits of commitment to your spiritual practice and to your personal growth. Keep confronting old concepts. Think to yourself, "Is that idea really true for me?" Then you can release even more "programs" that keep you from being happier and more successful. Seek a meditation group or a yoga school – a place where people are as disciplined as you. It’s time to gain comrades on the spiritual path.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – You have a very open heart, but sometimes you can be too dependent on people. Make sure you are practicing meditation in order to connect with your Higher Self. You’ll increase intuition and develop inner security to make your own decisions, rather than relying on others. You’ll be able to be closer with people because you won’t feel betrayed when they act human. You could also be starting a new relationship, so you’ll be off on the right foot.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) – You are changing on so many levels – physically, emotionally, spiritually. Help your romantic partner and close friends understand your shifts. Be patient as they adapt to the evolving you! You could be making an intense commitment in a relationship, even in a business relationship. Make sure these people are flexible and open-minded. You don’t want to change anyone; they need to keep up with you, and also spur you on to higher growth.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Don’t be discouraged about old habits and thought patterns raising their ugly heads. You’ve actually conquered them, and this is their "last hurrah". Be grateful that you’re not living with them everyday! Be kind to yourself during this "final cleanse". Maybe take a day off work and get a massage. Take walks in nature. Call a friend who is positive and upbeat. You’re so much further ahead in your personal growth than you know!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – Examine commitments. It’s common for you to start on a high, then get "bored" or cause arguments when things get more intense. Meditate to become more familiar with your depths. Build friendships, relationships, and activities based on less superficial traits and interests. Life won’t be ponderous, because you’ll always attract people with a sense of humor. You’ll be able to grow emotionally and spiritually as well as have fun.
