March 21 - April 20<br />
The past six months have been<br />
about shifting priorities and focus.<br />
Through the struggle, you may<br />
now have new perspectives about<br />
what is truly important to you. Perhaps<br />
you also realized that continuing<br />
to do things in the matter you’ve always<br />
done them is futile. This week,<br />
catch up with your soul. If your body<br />
and mind is tired, then rest. Allow the<br />
truest desires of your heart bubble up<br />
to the surface again.<br />
Taurus<br />
April 21 - May 20<br />
If you go into <strong>2021</strong> complaining<br />
about a situation not changing, then<br />
it’s also you who is not changing.<br />
You like things to stay the same, but<br />
you also know that life doesn’t work<br />
that way. Ready or not, you’ve got an<br />
immense amount of change heading<br />
your way. Begin establishing rituals<br />
and routines that will help you feel<br />
calm, grounded and cared for when<br />
the winds of change begin to pick up<br />
speed, if they haven’t already.<br />
Gemini<br />
May 21 - June 20<br />
Many people are setting New<br />
Year’s resolutions now, but for<br />
you, you’re still in the thinking and<br />
planning stages. That being said, no<br />
doubt you’ve got exciting goals for<br />
studying, learning or finding ways to<br />
incorporate meaning and purpose into<br />
your life. If you also want to make a<br />
ton of money, begin to strategize your<br />
plan so you don’t lose focus or get<br />
distracted when the pace of life picks<br />
up again.<br />
Cancer<br />
June 21 - July 20<br />
With the cosmic focus on you this<br />
week, you might like to take a<br />
moment to stop and catch your breath.<br />
If you get the chance to see the Full<br />
Moon on Wednesday, look up and<br />
soak in her rays. As you move into a<br />
New Year, you may want to move in<br />
a new direction, especially if you feel<br />
liberated from a former obligation or<br />
responsibility. Make some new commitments<br />
that honor your future self,<br />
as you gently release any emotions attached<br />
to the past.<br />
Leo<br />
July 21 - August 20<br />
They say that pride always comes<br />
before the fall. This week, you<br />
might consider the ways in which<br />
you’re allowing your pride to stand in<br />
the way of meaningful emotional connections.<br />
With so much changing in<br />
your relationships now, and into <strong>2021</strong>,<br />
you might like to take the warmth and<br />
generosity you so freely give to others,<br />
and reflect it back onto yourself.<br />
If you can swallow just a bit of pride,<br />
you’ll discover that the recognition<br />
you seek can be found within.<br />
Virgo<br />
August 21 - September 20<br />
Remember back in 2019 when<br />
those we love could visit for that<br />
special kind of heartwarming and<br />
soul-nurturing kitchen table wisdom?<br />
Cups of tea, glasses of wine, laughter,<br />
tears and joy – seems like forever ago.<br />
Online video calls are not the same,<br />
I know. That being said, if that’s all<br />
you’ve got right now, then embrace it.<br />
If there is a special friend you long to<br />
connect with, don’t let your procrastination<br />
get in the way just because the<br />
conditions aren’t ideal.<br />
Libra<br />
September 21 - October 20<br />
Compared to <strong>2020</strong>, the skies are so<br />
much less intense for you in <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
That being said, it’s no reason to not<br />
consider the lessons learned and glean<br />
the wisdom you can from the year that<br />
was. Also, it’s no excuse to get lazy or<br />
fall back into old habits. With renewed<br />
perspective, it’s time to focus on your<br />
desires now. Perhaps a career or life<br />
direction change that deeply nourishes<br />
you and provides you with the abundance<br />
you want, is worth considering.<br />
Scorpio<br />
October 21 - <strong>No</strong>vember 20<br />
Sometimes, when we don’t choose<br />
change, change chooses us. This<br />
can be a good thing, especially when<br />
that change thrusts us into something<br />
better. For you though, it makes you<br />
feel powerless and your controlling tendencies<br />
come to the surface. So much<br />
change is heading your way in <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
This week, starting aligning yourself<br />
with intention about what brings meaning<br />
and purpose to your life. So even as<br />
the winds change direction, you can go<br />
in the direction you choose.<br />
Empowering you to lead a divinely inspired life.<br />
Sagittarius<br />
<strong>No</strong>vember 21 - <strong>Dec</strong>ember 20<br />
As far as your finances go, the pressure<br />
feels like it has eased. That<br />
being said, there may be still some<br />
loose ends to tie up. <strong>No</strong> doubt, recent<br />
events over the last 12 months really<br />
shattered your confidence. Challenges<br />
offer us the chance to overcome them<br />
and glean, oftentimes, hard-won wisdom.<br />
Don’t allow a reckless attitude<br />
to hold you back from the future you<br />
really want. Releasing bad habits will<br />
set you up for success as your optimism<br />
and sunny outlook remerges.<br />
Capricorn<br />
<strong>Dec</strong>ember 21 - <strong>Jan</strong>uary 20<br />
You’ve worked so incredibly hard<br />
these past few years. <strong>No</strong> doubt<br />
you’re worn and weary, and quite possibly,<br />
your most intimate relationships<br />
are as well. As a result, you probably<br />
have a better understanding of what<br />
you do and don’t want. The good news<br />
is, the rewards are coming for your efforts.<br />
If you learned anything from the<br />
recent past is that those you love really<br />
need you, not just financially, but emotionally<br />
too. You’ll be reminded of that<br />
this week.<br />
Aquarius<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary 21 - February 20<br />
cannot possibility begin to tell you<br />
I about the challenges and opportunities<br />
that await you in this short horoscope.<br />
However, I can tell you that if<br />
you don’t have your health and wellness<br />
rituals sorted yet, then start now.<br />
You’ve got so much to do and achieve,<br />
that you’ll want your body firing on all<br />
cylinders so you’re not slowed down<br />
in any way. <strong>No</strong>urishing your body will<br />
also help relieve any stress that has<br />
been taking its toll on you.<br />
Pisces<br />
February 21 - March 20<br />
Did you know that you don’t have<br />
to extend your empathy and compassion<br />
to everyone while depleting<br />
yourself in the process? Saying no is<br />
always an option and so is simply being<br />
unavailable. You don’t have to be<br />
everything to everyone. When you do<br />
this, you rob others of the opportunity<br />
to be something to you. Whether it’s<br />
at work or within your personal life,<br />
you’re going to learn some tough lessons<br />
about boundaries. I can tell you it<br />
won’t be easy, but oh so worth it!<br />

Take time to catch<br />
up with yourself<br />
So much has changed<br />
astrologically in the last<br />
couple of weeks. As we<br />
cross the threshold into<br />
a new calendar year, the<br />
sky is reasonably quiet,<br />
comparatively.<br />
<strong>Dec</strong>. <strong>30</strong> brings the<br />
Full Moon in Cancer. It’s<br />
been three years since<br />
the Moon has been at her<br />
most powerful without<br />
the influence of heavy<br />
Saturn. Take some time<br />
out this week to do<br />
something that is truly<br />
nurturing and restorative<br />
for your soul. This may be<br />
spending time with those<br />
you hold near and dear.<br />
It could be simply curling<br />
up with a good book or<br />
chilling out with a movie.<br />
It seems so simple I know,<br />
but after the year that’s<br />
been, it’s a great opportunity<br />
to catch up with<br />
yourself and with those<br />
you care about.<br />
The sign of Cancer is<br />
particularly concerned<br />
with family, home,<br />
comfort and care. It’s also<br />
about the past. With so<br />
much of <strong>2020</strong> worth leaving<br />
in the past, you may<br />
like to bask in the light<br />
of the Moon and remind<br />
yourself of what really<br />
matters moving forward.<br />
Leave behind, release<br />
and let go of anything<br />
that you don’t want to<br />
take into <strong>2021</strong>. Recognize<br />
it. Thank it. And say<br />
goodbye.<br />
