Libra
There is great power in not knowing. Not knowing what is next, not knowing what to decide, not knowing how you will make it to where you know you want and need to be. Every given moment contains within it doorways of opportunity, and when you choose to walk through one, you make realities available to you that were once invisible. When you do not know what is next, you enter the realm of infinite potential. Instead of trying to plan your life so safely and so succinctly, you can begin to plan for the moment, the joy, the journey. Instead of living on autopilot, you can learn how to continuously meet the ever-changing, ever-possible now. When you finally admit that you do not know what is next, you enter the golden vortex—the space between everything you know you’re meant for and anything you had previously imagined to be.

Pisces
You may believe that living life to the fullest is seeing every country in the world and quitting your job on a whim and falling recklessly in love, but it’s really just knowing how to be where your feet are. It’s learning how to take care of yourself, how to make a home within your own skin. It’s learning how to build a simple life you are proud of. A life most fully lived is not always composed of the things that rock you awake, but those that slowly assure you it’s okay to slow down. That you don’t always have to prove yourself. That you don’t need to fight forever, or constantly want more. That it’s okay for things to be just as they are. Little by little, you will begin to see that life can only grow outward in proportion to how stable it is inward—that if the joy is not in the little things first, the big things won’t fully find us.

Taurus
You cannot desire what you do not already contain. Desire is a projection outward that is proportionate to potential inward. There are so many possibilities within this world, so many things to hope for and to aspire to. There are so very many things one could want, and yet, it is a very specific vision that awakens you on the inside. There are very few things that excite you in a way that makes you nearly uncomfortable with your wanting of them. Desire is so integral to who you are, it is part of you even if you are not conscious of it—even when your ego chooses to shield you from your awareness of it. What you are waiting on is your own willingness to accept the mountain you must climb in order to pull those desires out of the deepest parts of you and create them in the world you already inhabit.

Cancer
You are worthy of love because you are willing to love. That’s all it takes. We often think love requires us to tally up all of our flaws and all of our strengths to see who matches up with who. We often think that if love does not transpire into something long-lasting, it’s because we are in some way lacking something that would make us a more clear and obvious choice. Love almost never works like that. We connect with who we connect with. It’s mysterious; it’s a force from within us and beyond us and it rarely ever makes sense until we’re reviewing it all in retrospect. Sometimes, our hearts and bodies know things before our brains can rationalize them, and one of the hardest things is to see if we will trust that, if we’ll believe in that, if we’ll pursue that. Sometimes, doors close even when we beg them to stay open because we are being protected from what we cannot yet see. We meet people, it’s electric, and we can’t understand why. Sometimes we are just not ready for that and that’s okay, too. Sometimes, there’s someone or something else waiting on the other side. Sometimes, we’re not quite the people we need to be to sustain that level of connection. Love is not always linear.

Aries
To be truly alive is, in many ways, to embody a slowness of living. It is to stretch and savor the precious, little things. It is to create pockets of calm out of ordinary hours, and it is to be in them, completely. It is the ability to focus more intently on what’s in front of you without your mind wandering to what isn’t. It’s the capacity to lean into the experiences you’re given, realizing at last that they’re not all good nor bad, but a warped mindset can make it seem so. You change as you shift your attention, as you redirect your focus toward the parallel realities you are one thought away from living.

Sagittarius
It takes strength to witness your own patterns and correct your course. It takes strength to resist what’s become so familiar. Most people will never realize how deeply the compulsion to repeat can run, how entrenched we can become in the paths we’ve walked over and over again, until we cannot see anything beyond them. It takes strength to choose differently, to believe in what you can sense but not yet see. It takes strength to be different, to be humble, and to change. It takes strength to become the person you’ve always wanted to be.

Aquarius
In everything you choose, you must first ask: but what will this do to my soul? Will it bring me closer to a heavenly state of being, or anchor me into the ache of this world? Will it make me more of the person I was meant to be, or will it distract me from the true work? Will it pay the bills, but bankrupt my being? Will it impress others, but disappoint the child inside me waiting to see what I do with my freedom? Will I arrive at the end of my life proud that I did this? Will I do this now, or will I wait until I am forced to make the decision I already know is right today? Will I spare myself the suffering? Will I have courage?

Leo
If you do not know what to do next, it usually isn’t because your next step is far out in the distance, but rather right in front of your feet. You are being asked to stop gazing outward and start looking inward. You are being called to rebuild yourself at this exact moment. If you do not know what to do next, it is not because you need to seek more answers, but rather, accept the ones you’ve already been given. If you do not know what to do next, it’s time to learn to be in the answered prayer that is this very day. It’s time to learn how to use what you already have, and be as you really are. It’s time to stop waiting for some future scenario to bring your dreams into the light, but to dig them out from beneath your fear and begin. Truly begin.

Gemini
Move toward the people who expand your perimeter of possibility, who believe in your potential just a little bit more than your reality. Move toward the people who remind you of the person you know you’re meant to be, the ones who stretch your soul and make you feel something real. Move toward the people who remind you of what you contain, who help you fall a little more in love with life. Move toward the people who energize you more than they drain you. These little signs are not so little—they are the markers of our soulmates, in all the forms they come.

Virgo
More than a five-year plan, you need a vision for the next hour, the next day, the next week. If you fill your immediate future with the things you know are good for you, the things you know are productive, you will arrive somewhere worthwhile, even if you cannot see beyond that horizon right now. If you learn to live with integrity in the present, one day, you will wake up and realize you are fully immersed in the peace you have been practicing for a very long time.

Capricorn
Maybe you don’t need to find more energy, maybe you just need to find a dream that makes you actually want to get up in the morning. Maybe you need to find something that gives back more than it takes. Maybe you need to stop trying to be good at the hundred things that do not light up your soul, and finally choose the one that does—the one that asks you to risk, to lay your heart bare, to try again, even though you’re scared. You’re not failing because you’re not motivated. You’re not supposed to get far on a path that was never yours to walk.

Scorpio
What feels on the surface like rejection is often redirection. When you ask for a big life, you cannot keep fighting for a smaller one to stay.
