4 Zodiacs Who Need To Open A Journal, Pour Their Hearts Out, And Let Their Healing Journey Begin In May

LEO

I know you’re scared to face what lies ahead, Leo, but the first step can really be as simple as taking out a piece of paper and writing a note to yourself, just like I’m writing to you now. Say all the things you’re longing to hear, all the things you’re afraid to say, to even think, and release them to the universe. Take those chaotic ideas and put them into words. Mix them around, swap them in and out, until your hearts true meaning starts to take shape, starts to make sense. You really do have to work through the feelings, and there’s no easy workaround or way out of it. And there is no day like today to get started. Everyone has a pen in their junk drawer. It’s time to find yours.

VIRGO

You think you’re so eloquent, so articulate, this advice is irrelevant to you Virgo, but sometimes it’s simply about making time to say the things that need to be said, even if we’re perfectly capable of saying them. Honor your own journey, let the weight of events carry the importance they deserve. If nothing more, create a memorial to this pain like a headstone that merely marks where it stands, tells the world it once existed. Even if no one ever sees it, even if you never read these words again, having wrote them at all will matter. Because you matter. Because your story matters, even if it’s only one you tell to yourself.

SCORPIO

I know how counterintuitive it is, how terrifying to even consider putting your most precious and guarded thoughts into a physical form that someone somewhere could one day access, and to that I respond, dear Scorpio, burn after reading. I’m not asking you to compose a manifesto, a manuscript, or a thesis. Just pen a little note that extends yourself the tiniest inkling of kindness and compassion. The very thing you deny yourself most. Hold it in your hands. Let it all sink in until you believe it. I mean really know it, like you know your own address or trust that the sky is blue. And then do with the evidence what you will. It’s the emotional exercise that matters most. The rest is just paper and ink.

ARIES

I think you assume, too often, that people know your true intentions. That you don’t need to explain yourself, not even to yourself. But even you know deep down that it’s obviously insufficient. So open up that notebook, and take sometime to thank yourself, to tell yourself how proud you are, to document how far you’ve come and how hard the journey has been. Acknowledging all of these things will give you the courage, and the permission to move forward with your life. To look at the summation of all these experiences, and in them, find resilience. You are so much more than what you’ve been through thus far, and your journey is nowhere near finished. Continue to let it refine you.
