Monthly Forecast for February 2026



Monthly Forecast for February 2026

By Sarah Jane Grace

Posted on February 3, 2026
 

 

As we each continue to find ways to connect more consciously with the threads that weave their way through the fabric of life, there is a sense that we are beginning to feel more aligned with the ebb and flow of the cosmic tides. These threads represent all of the seemingly random and incongruent experiences in life, but they also represent the more spiritual and ethereal as well. The cosmic tides are the more external forces that often create diversions and changes to the script of life, taking us in new directions, or creating a pause for reflection or contemplation.

With 2026 taking shape as a year for living more magically, it’s time for some of those long-held ‘musts’ and ‘oughts’ we all live by, to dissolve and fall away. So many of us shape our lives with the belief that we need to get life right or that we need to do more, be more, or achieve more in order to be happy. However, it’s important to realise that these scripted beliefs are not always inspiring or empowering, as they can also be shackles that tether us and keep us locked in the belief that we are somehow ‘less than’.

It’s time to reconnect to the fabric of life, to sense the true ebb and flow within our hearts and souls. When we pause and breathe deeply, many of those ‘oughts’ and ‘musts’ fade away as we step back into that vast, almost luminous space of conscious living. It’s hard to condense and distil this expansiveness as it’s undefinable and nebulous, almost ‘other worldly’, yet when we breathe deeply, we reconnect to this vastness and realise that there is great power and strength to be found in the nooks and crannies of life. We may feel as though we are standing at the edge of the universe with no guide, map or GPS, but when we take our breath gently within, we realise that this is exactly how it should be.

Those ‘oughts’ and ‘musts’ may still burn brightly in our consciousness, but it’s only when they fade or implode, that something new becomes possible. Of course, it’s important to acknowledge with tenderness that many of these ‘oughts’ have played significant roles in shaping us into the people we are today, but it also feels liberating to let them go as they no longer hold us in their gravity, leaving us free to turn towards the new.

So many spiritual souls are feeling isolated and alone, but we are each fragments of the universe trying to connect. Sometimes this connection isn’t physical, it’s energetic or spiritual, but the more we sense the threads that unify us all, the more we realise that it’s time to chart the path ahead using intuition, belief and trust, moving towards a life that feels more expansive and radiant than ever before. Many of these shifts are subtle, almost incomprehensibly whispered through space and time, but when we realise this connection is with the quiet wisdom of the universe, we can begin to find a new way of living and being.

February looks set to see many of us shaking free from old beliefs, and letting go of old scripts, as we each seek out the space to truly express our creativity and gifts. We all have potential, but so many of us doubt this either through misplaced beliefs or life events. However, unless we acknowledge the sacredness of all that we are, how can we step away from the life expected of us and towards our hopes and dreams? It’s important to remember that we are not bound to any particular storyline in life, we are free spirits, and although life can sometimes oppress and repress us, we can still find new ways to shine. So many of us spend our lives trying to support those around us, trying to dim our own light in order to let someone else shine, but it’s time to realise that this can only ever be short lived as we were each born to shine. We each have the potential to live life more magically, to express our creativity, and to feel the threads that connect us all.

Listen to those inner whispers and find the time to breathe more deeply into life as life is seeking out ways to breathe more deeply into each and every one of us. As we step beyond the noise of expectation and habit, we can begin to unthread those lingering beliefs that hold us back and find a new way to embrace destiny. Although we are sparks of universal consciousness, we are not insignificant, but we each illuminate brightly like the millions of stars above.

February looks set to be a time to feel our connection with the stars, and with the power within our hearts and souls, as we begin the journey towards living in ways that are more aligned by intuition and open-heartedness. This is a time to find new ways of living and being that cultivate unity, connection and happiness. So, listen to the inner hush, feel the power rising up within, and take the time to honour the spaces between spaces, and the moments between moments, that come together to forge our life experiences into a magnificent and majestic whole.

Life will always be a complex and often bewildering tangle of threads, and there are always knots, kinks, endings and beginnings, but the more we try to find peace with this complexity, the more deeply we can connect to the process. When we allow beliefs to fall away, instead of rushing to fill the gaps, it’s time to find sustenance and nourishment in the spaces, knowing that we are all energy and consciousness, like stardust twinkling and sparkling through space and time. We are magical, amazing and awe-inspiring souls, and this is the true gift we each have in life…

For now, and as always, I wish you all kinds of wonderful.

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries
♈

As you continue to focus on your true priorities in life, you are beginning to turn inward in order to listen more closely to the whispers in your heart and soul. It’s as though you are feeling more aligned with the pulse of your soul, sensing ways to live a deeper, and more fulfilling life. A new path is emerging, previously shrouded in mist, tucked away in the nooks and crannies of your consciousness, bringing you insight into how to find joy in the unexpected corners of your life. You have spent a great deal of time trying to be the person you want everyone to be, trying to shape your life by ‘oughts’, ‘musts’ and ‘shoulds’, feeling that you need to try harder, do more, and be more. Yet, you have come to realise that your tendency to put the needs of others above your own has left you feeling disconnected from your true essence, as you have pushed aside your hopes and dreams, leaving them to gather dust.

However, with an energy of hope rising up within you, it seems that you are beginning to clear some much-needed space, removing the weeds and overgrown branches that have taken a stronghold within. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the weeds, it’s just a sense that they are keeping you from re-connecting wholeheartedly with your true self. Yet, this isn’t a time to bring in a bulldozer to clear space, it’s a time for gentle pottering, a little pruning, and taking the time to pause and reflect. In many ways, each branch represents those ‘oughts’, ‘musts’ and obligations that shape your everyday life, and the more you release, the more you can feel your inner world breathing freely. As a result, new shoots of possibility are starting to emerge, making way for a new way of living and being…

Taurus
♉

Life has always been a smorgasbord of seemingly ramshackle, incongruent moments that often seem perplexing and bewildering, making it hard to make sense of the bigger picture as to how it all fits together. Of course, there are moments that feel inspiring and magical, but there are a great many more moments that feel more mundane and pedestrian. This is the nature of life, but it’s easy to become entangled in the maze of pedestrian-ness, feeling disconnected from your creativity, passion and innovativeness, forgetting to pause when the magic appears, losing sight of what makes you tick, and what brings you joy. It’s easy to get caught up in things to do, people to see and places to go, yet even when you’re busy being busy, it’s still important to notice the magic, as bringing your attention to it enables you to connect to it more consciously. February looks set to be a month for you to take some time out from the treadmill of your life in order to re-connect to your true essence: to those aspects of life that make your soul smile. Although there will always be things to do, it’s time to be more discerning in order to honour your own needs more.

There have been many times when you’ve felt as though you have no room to breathe or think, as the ‘to do’ list is vast and cumbersome, weighing you down on many levels. Yet the harder you’ve tried to search for space, the more you’ve realised how little wiggle room you’ve left yourself. It’s as though you’ve been slowly tying yourself up in the knots of ‘oughts’ and ‘musts’, becoming more entangled and disconnected with each passing day. It’s only by stepping back to pause for a while that you can see the knots and realise breaking free isn’t about struggle, it’s about letting go, breathing deeply and allowing your own power to rise up again…

Gemini
♊

You have always been a soul of multiple layers, hidden depths and intriguing complexity. Being you is frequently a source of bewilderment and perplexity as your depths are incomprehensible and unfathomable, and your enquiring mind explores the space beyond spaces, contemplating the unanswered questions in life, unearthing fresh insights into your experiences. Of course, you already know most, if not all, of this already, and although it’s amazing to have such far reaching insight, it doesn’t always feel like a blessing, as it can leave you seeking out the mystery of your existence. Whilst it can be deliciously delightful to explore the far reaches of life, and it can be enlightening to dive into the macrocosm and microcosm, often at the same time, but there comes a time when you need to ask yourself if it’s continuing to bring you insight and clarity, or just more unanswered questions. The far reaches of your consciousness tingle and buzz gently with anticipation when you step into the incomprehensible, but your mind wants more clarity now. It’s almost as though your consciousness has a will of its own, pulling you off into unchartered terrain, but you know there has to be a balance with the other facets of your being, or you will end up constantly chasing your tail.

You see life very differently to others, and although you do not deliberately try to be different, normal just doesn’t fit you! You are vibrant, colourful, creative and magical, and your experience of life is so different to those around you. No one else can truly understand your inner workings, and whilst a few might come close, overall, it can be a lonely place. This can be frustrating for you, but it’s important to acknowledge that the reason no one ‘gets’ you, is because you don’t want to be ‘got’! So, take a deep breath and open up to connecting more consciously to those that truly matter…

Cancer
♋

February looks set to be a pivotal month when it comes to making some decisions about how you live and your path ahead. You have spent a lot of time and energy on keeping on keeping on, going through the motions, trying to live the life you feel you should be living, doing your best to keep everyone around you happy. Although you have made the most of life as you’ve found it, there is a sense of longing deep within your heart and soul that wants more: more room to breathe, more room to be you, and more room to just…be. These inklings of restlessness hover around your consciousness like fireflies darting about, and you often feel them more of a hindrance than an inspiration, so you push them away, or even swat them when it all gets too much. Yet this mostly seems to be because you put so much energy into trying so hard to live the life you feel you ought to be living, rather than believing in yourself and your gifts, and living the life you were born to live. This might all sound very ‘chocolate-boxey’ and idyllic, and you are a realist, but intuitively you can sense that there is more to life, so why not explore the possibility that living the life you want to be living is within your reach?

When those fireflies of possibility dart around, try to take some time to acknowledge them, follow them, and dance with their energy in order to re-connect to the core of your being, as this will help you to re-centre and re-balance. You are strong, wise, and intuitive, and it’s time to wholeheartedly embrace these gifts now in order to stop trying so hard to get life ‘right’ and instead focus on living your best life. What lights up your soul? What brings you joy? Open up your heart and soul, turn towards your gifts, and fly free…

Leo
♌

As the buoyancy within your heart and soul continues to grow and build, there is a sense that you are seeing your life with a fresh perspective. It’s hard to articulate, but it’s as though you are seeing your life, your path and your gifts with a new energy of possibility, and it’s undeniably exciting. It seems that the more you’ve turned towards your inner world to guide you, you have discovered new ways of experiencing meaning and joy, and both wisdom and insight have surfaced in the ordinary moments of your everyday life. As you adjust to this powerful shift in energy and focus, you continue to clear clutter on all levels of your existence which is allowing your inner world to breathe more freely than ever before. As a result, you are beginning to feel more aligned with your true nature than ever before.

Whilst you are a free spirit at heart, you still often find yourself guided by those long-held ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’. However, the more you have embraced your sacred inner world, the more these have started falling away, like leaves in the autumn, gently drifting with beauty and majesty. Try to set them free with love as they each had a role to play in creating the person you are today. Of course, it’s part of life to carry elements of duty and responsibility, but the weight of carrying so many rules (‘oughts’, ‘musts’ etc) has left you feeling disconnected from your own power and wisdom. When you pause and feel the buoyancy of change rising up within you, try to see it as an opportunity to unfasten more of those invisible cords of belief that have kept you tethered in life for so long. You are a passionate, creative and majestic being, and it’s time to celebrate this now as you stand before a new dawn, arms upstretched, reaching towards a more illumined way of living and being….

Virgo
♍

As you continue to find strength, peace and clarity in the space between here and there, there is a sense that you are beginning to realise that the more you breathe into those spaces (those small snippets of pause in an otherwise busy life), the more of those spaces you can create. Your life has felt out of kilter for a long time now, mostly as a result of focusing on where you feel you need to be in order to be happy. Whilst this creates a goal to reach, it also highlights the gap between where you are, and where you want to be. However, as you re-connect more wholeheartedly to your strength and wisdom, the more you have realised that completing all of those ‘to do’ lists isn’t the path to happiness. It’s cultivating happiness that’s the path to happiness. This might sound a bit daft, but it’s so easy to get caught up with things to do, people to see and places to go, and after a while, lose sight of the bigger picture of your own life.

You are a wisdom being and deeply intuitive, and you have been pondering how to live a more fulfilling and enriching life for quite some time. This is still very much in the thinking about stages though, so this is a wonderful opportunity to listen to the wisdom within your heart and soul to help you shape and define a new way of living and being that focuses less on those ‘to do’ lists, and more on how you want to feel. This may sound a little too ‘woolly’ for you, but when you connect to your intuition, you sense that your path ahead is more connected to the pursuit of happiness and to finding peace within in order to be more creative, spiritual and connected to life. As you breathe into the pauses and spaces in life, feel your energy rising and let your intuition guide you…

Libra
♎

As the dynamic energy continues to grow and build within your heart and soul, you are beginning to sense more magic and possibility in the nooks and crannies, especially in the more ordinary moments of life. This is a process that has been long in the making, as you begin a new chapter of your life that is being written from the inside, out. For a great deal of your life you have felt as though you’ve been carried along by the currents of other people’s lives, as though the story of your life is more a script not of your own design. You have tried to bend and flex in order to fit the mould of ‘ordinary’ that you feel is expected of you (the conditioning and beliefs that often grow over time), but this surge of dynamic energy has inspired you to contemplate how to live your life in a way that feels more illuminated from within, and more connected to your true essence. This feels tantalising and exciting, like a fresh chance to change the script and write your own, and your soul feels vibrant with possibility and quiet wonder. This is a state of being that’s hard to define, as this inspirational energy is still difficult to grasp; it feels beautiful and evocative, but nebulous at the same time.

So, take some time to sit with these energies and gaze into the depths of your soul to re-ignite your inner fire, as you contemplate your dreams and gifts. When you use the light of your soul to guide you, there is a silent divinity within you that both inspires and empowers you to have the courage and strength to walk a new path. Have the self-belief to let your inner knowing drift into alignment as you let go of the clutter and start to break free from those structures and beliefs that have held you back. This is your time to shine like the stars and to let the starlight gently take you by the hand…

Scorpio
♏

As you continue to seek out ways to fan the flames of the fire that burns in your heart and soul, there is a sense that you are beginning to make some significant realisations connected to your true priorities in life. In many ways, it’s been easier to drift with the flow of other people’s lives, as it’s made for a quieter life. However, although drifting has taken you to unchartered terrain, you seem ready to slip beyond the gravity of your old way of living and being, reaching towards more breathing space and more freedom. It’s hard to articulate clearly as your depths are so nebulous, but as the familiar beliefs and structures that once defined your life fall away, you feel more able to ebb and flow with the currents of your own life once again. It’s as though you’re no longer being held in the orbit of the planets (people) around you, and you are finally able to sense your own rhythm and flow once again.

This is a profound shift, and it looks set to open up a plethora of new pathways ahead. However, give yourself the time and space you need, as you are still recalibrating and adjusting to this shifting trajectory, and although it feels exciting and exhilarating, it’s important not to rush, as you have some important decisions to make connected to how you live your life. This shift is more about finding your own centre once again, in order to honour your own hopes and dreams. So, take a deep breath and feel the warmth from your inner fires glowing brighter and brighter, just like the stars. This shift is expansive, but it’s still undefined, as the path ahead is yet to be chartered or planned, so this is an important time to listen to your intuition to guide you, as you re-shape and re-define your life from the inside, out…

Sagittarius
♐

Deep within the core of your being, in the far reaches of your consciousness, there is a passionate and fiery spark of life-force that makes you, you. This spark is your creativity, ingenuity and vision, as well as your courage and sense of purpose. Even when the skies of life have darkened during challenging times, your inner spark has twinkled as a soothing reminder of your passion, inspiring you to follow your truth and to seek out new terrain on all levels of your life. In many ways, your inner spark is like a beacon that illuminates your path ahead, guiding you when needed and always present. Your inner spark radiates into all of the nooks and crannies of your heart and soul, inspiring you, reminding you, and guiding you. Reminding you might seem odd, but you are good at becoming distracted and drifting off course when something piques your interest. Although you have discovered a great deal when you’ve explored uncharted terrain, it does seem important to be clear about what you truly want in life. After all, if you’re not clear about what you want, how can you step towards it?

So, try to take some time for reflection to connect more consciously with your inner spark, and to allow your essence to re-centre and re-calibrate, in order to re-shape your path ahead. Change is a constant in life, but there are times when you need to choose between drifting along with the currents or being the instigator of change. Let your phenomenal intuition guide you as you start to believe more wholeheartedly in your gifts; it’s time to shake up the apple cart of life and find a new way to enjoy those apples! So, lighten the load of things ‘to do’ and replace them with breathing space, just some clear space to rest, reflect, connect and become. Try not to overthink this, let your intuition take you by the hand and feel the possibilities of life expand…

Capricorn
♑

February looks set to be a quieter month after a rather rambunctious and tumultuous chapter of your life. Although you’ve handled the challenges well, and you’ve stood firm in those stormy seas, you’ve barely had time to take a breath, let alone to contemplate the ramifications of your experiences, so you seem more than ready now for calm seas, gentle breezes and a rest. However, although you are yearning for some quiet, the momentum of change that’s been building for so long looks set to continue, albeit likely in more subtle ways. However, this is not something to dread, it’s more of a willingness to allow the process to unfold, as you find your feet and realign your heart and soul. You are wise enough to know that even the challenging times bring you both insight and knowledge, but you also know that life doesn’t have to be challenging to find either insight or knowledge. So, you would be forgiven for feeling confused with what’s next, sensing more uncertainty than certainty when it comes to your path ahead. However, instead of feeling in-between where you were and where you want to be, take some time to notice where you are now, as these calmer and quieter seas are not an empty waiting room to sit in until something better comes along, but a wonderful opportunity to re-shape and re-define your life in the here and now.

In essence, the change of pace over the weeks ahead is a chance for you to re-affirm your true priorities in life, and to use the wisdom of your life experiences to set sail on a new adventure. The details may be sketchy, but your intuition will guide you if you allow it to. As you pause and reflect, try to find joy in the ebb and flow of your life as you re-connect to your hopes and dreams, finding new ways to bring them to life…

Aquarius
♒

As you continue to focus on your true priorities in life, there is a sense that you are beginning to re-align your heart and soul with your hopes and dreams. As a result, February has an expansive nature to it, a time of opportunity and momentum, akin to the spring flowers bursting into life after their wintery slumber. As a visionary, it’s often easier for you to think about your path ahead, rather than focusing on where you are today, and you often see your own journey through space and time from a universal perspective which brings you great insight, but can sometimes leave you feeling uncertain as to where you fit into the bigger scheme of things. Obviously intuitively you know that you are a vibrant and unique soul, and you don’t really have any particular yearning to fit in, you would instead prefer to shimmer and shine like the effervescent soul you know yourself to be. However, it’s also important for you to have an anchor or reference point of origin as it gives you context.

So, whilst your ability to gaze so far across time and space does enable you to create reference points in order to understand where you are going and why, you can often feel yourself being carried along by the waves of life, and this can sometimes leave you feeling discombobulated and befuddled, and your usually clear focus blurs your path ahead. Try to take some time, through mindful breathing, meditation or spending time in nature, to reset your inner balance, as that will help to shift your focus more towards the here and now. The more you can become present, the more your consciousness can expand into life, connecting you to the magic and infinite spectrum of possibility both around you, and within you. Feel your creativity, self-belief and courage rising up to the surface, as this is your time to shine…

Pisces
♓

As your inner light continues to radiate brightly like a lighthouse, you are beginning to acknowledge that this light is within you, rather than coming from somewhere else. This might sound like a strange statement, but it seems you are very good at stepping back from your intuition and gifts, deferring to the wisdom of others, and feeling as though your own needs and priorities are somehow less important. Of course, you know that this light is within you, but your tendency to ‘disown’ it, means it’s hard for you to connect to the full power of the infinity within your heart and soul. It’s difficult to fully understand the reasons that you defer your gifts, but there is a part of you that seems to struggle with the notion that you are a radiant being. It’s not a difficult leap, after all, your inner lighthouse is powerful and bright, and those around you can see this from miles away, but you need to see it, feel it and become one with it.

It’s a bit like a child playing hide and seek by covering their eyes and hoping they won’t be seen, you simply cannot hide your inner light, and why would you want to? Obviously, only you can answer this question, but it’s an important time to contemplate this now, as your light shines brightly for a reason, and you have the strength, wisdom and courage to live your best life, so what’s holding you back? Is it a mis-placed sense of modesty? Or seeking out a quieter life by going with the flow of other people’s lives? Both are likely true in some degree or another, but it’s important to stop feeling passive like a piece of driftwood and instead embrace your true potential. You are nearing a new chapter of your life that feels more expansive and enlightening than ever before, so let your light shine brightly and believe.

November 2023 Astrology Forecast

November 2023 Astrology Forecast

By Sarah Jane Grace

Posted on November 3, 2023
 

 

After a storm, when the rain stops and the winds ease, but before the birds start singing once again, there is a brief moment in time where everything seems to stand still. It’s a bit like the moment in-between an in breath and an out breath, where we are doing neither one nor the other. It doesn’t last long, and so few ever notice it, but it has the power to transport us into a different dimension of time and space, as the more we focus on the moment, the more it seems to expand into our hearts and souls.

It’s so easy to become caught up in the 24/7 busy-ness of modern life and this can leave us feeling disconnected and isolated from the magic of the world we live in. Living behind the closed curtains of life helps us to keep on keeping on, but it stops us from living spiritually, intuitively and creatively. We often find we just don’t have the time or energy to even notice these moments, let alone consciously step into them. Yet, we need this connection, otherwise we lose sight of the bigger picture, as well as ourselves along the way.

It therefore seems more important than ever to take the time to notice where we are and to pay attention. I had the joy of walking (well, rolling!) through an ancient yew tree grove. As I sat there, I started to see beyond the obvious and saw the silver threads of light flowing out of me up into the tree above. This ancient yew was cleansing me, and like reverse rain, the light was flowing upwards leaving me feeling lighter and brighter. I felt at one with the tree, and in that brief moment, I connected to the tree, offering healing and love in process. It made me realise that I want to live my life with all of my nature, not just a part of it. Yet, for most people walking through the yews, it was a walk, nothing more.

It’s so important to connect to the pauses and to truly see the magic of the world we live in, from the birdsong, the spider weaving a magical web, to the stars in the night sky. It’s our willingness to connect to this bigger picture that has the power to bring us hope, unity and love.

It’s time for each of us to choose to live life more wholeheartedly and to find connection in the things that unite us rather than focusing on the things that divide us. We are each unique individuals, there is no ‘one size fits all’, never will be. So, celebrate that individuality and find joy in the kaleidoscope of uniqueness that we live in.

It seems we are once again experiencing something of a ‘collision of moment’s’, a time where it feels like everything is happening at the same time and it can be hard to take a breath. It’s as though we are somewhere in-between where we were and where we’re going, both individually and collectively. We can feel as though we are in both places at the same time, but some feel as though they are in neither. It’s a confusing cacophony of thoughts, experiences and shifts, and this collision of moments seems more powerful than before, many layers of emotion are being peeled away including pain, grief, and anger. This is a painful yet cathartic process, but also deeply challenging for many as the lifelong habit of repressing difficult emotions can lead to pressure building. Intuitively we know we need to go with the process, but it’s understandable to see why so many try to resist. Yet, in the long run, resistance doesn’t work, so we can end up pushing against the currents, feeling isolated and alone.

There are so many of us feeling lost, so many seeking love, compassion, and connection. It’s therefore so important that we each try to reach out to others and to find ways to unify and unite. Although the cracks and division are all around, there are still threads that connect, we just have to consciously choose to look for them and become one with them.

It would be understandable to seek out retreat from the chaos, but as is so often the case, the only real way is through. Whilst we live in confusing times, it is a part of our story, and it has the power to shape and transform our lives.

So, we each need to be a conscious part of this journey, to connect to those in-between moments, the spaces within spaces in order to find wisdom, courage and compassion.

For now, and as always, I wish you all kinds of wonderful.

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries
♈

As you continue the process of letting go on all levels of your life, there is a sense that you are re-shaping and re-defining your sense of self at the same time. As a result, you are beginning to understand yourself, and your motivations, on a much deeper level and you are realising just how much of your life is a repeating pattern formed of outdated beliefs and cycles. Of course, you’re human, and it’s human nature to follow familiar paths, but you seem ready now to break free from the old in order to begin a new chapter in your life. It can be hard to step beyond habits and cycles, particularly when they’re not clear or well-defined, but intuitively you have a good sense as to what you need to do as you no longer want to feel stuck and tethered. You have reached a stage of your life when being true to yourself is deeply important, as you want to focus on your true priorities (your ‘I really want and need this’ list!) and explore your inner world.

Truth, creativity, and spirituality all take centre stage throughout November as you find new ways to let your compassion and spark flow freely and without reservation. It’s time to express your exuberance and energy with self-belief as you are no longer prepared to spend time simply keeping on, keeping on. Whilst there will inevitably be things to do that don’t fill you with joy, as life admin is unavoidable, but when you step back to look at the bigger picture, you will start to find context to the routine, and see beyond to the path of joy. Intuitively you know it’s time to prioritise your own needs more and to acknowledge that life isn’t just about what you do for others, it’s also about living your very best life. You matter; believe this now and set yourself free…

Taurus
♉

As you continue to go through a chapter of powerful awakening, there is a sense that you are beginning to feel a deeper connection to your heart and soul. You spend so much of your time trying to be everything to everyone else and this can leave you feeling drained and depleted in so many ways. Although you are a generous and giving soul, there sometimes needs to be more of a two-way flow, and whilst it’s not about ‘giving to receive’, there are some around you who simply ‘take, take and take a bit more’. Of course, ultimately it’s your choice as to whether you continue with this, but you seem ready to stand more firmly in your own power in order to re-establish your boundaries and your priorities.

You have spent so much of your life bending and flexing to accommodate the needs, wishes and whims of others, but unless you acknowledge your own needs and dreams, this process is unlikely to ever be deeply fulfilling for you. In other words, there has to be balance, and this sometimes has to come from you standing firm and say ‘No!’ if needed. You are a feisty earthy soul, and your strength is phenomenal, so this should be a walk in the park for you, but there is a sense that your connection to your inner power has faded away over the years as you have given so much to so many, but this connection isn’t lost, so shine a light within and consciously choose to seek out more balance in your life. It’s time to listen to your intuition more, to acknowledge your gifts and to realise that you matter. It’s so easy to get lost in the daily distractions of life, but try to take some time out over the weeks ahead to re-connect to your heart and soul…

Gemini
♊

Finding new ways to thrive and flourish continues to take centre stage throughout November as your willingness to gaze deeply within has enabled you to find more clarity, insight and understanding in connection to the choices you make and the paths you walk. You have spent so much of your life trying to be the person you’ve felt you ought to be, and it is only more recently that you have found joy in being the person you really are. On some level, everyone tries to fit in as it’s human nature to want to be a part of ‘normal’, yet intuitively you know that there is no such thing as normal, and it’s being unique that ultimately brings you the capacity for true joy in life. Yet, the way of individuality is often a challenging one as it means walking an unfamiliar path and consciously choosing to be ‘different’. However, no two souls are alike, so in truth, we are all ‘different’. It therefore seems important to re-frame how you see your individuality and to focus on the threads that bring connection and commonality, rather than on the aspects that keep you ‘separate’ from the masses.

Yes, you are unique, but there is also an innate need to belong, and there is room for being unique in belonging – you just have to connect to your phenomenal creativity to realise this and to find your own way to joy. So, this is a time of connection as you discover a new pathway to being you; try to stop over-thinking and over-analysing so much, accept that there won’t always be answers to the questions you have in life, and seek out connection, unity and belonging, as it seems important now for you to find peace on all levels of your life. You are a vibrant soul and it’s time to shine…

Cancer
♋

As the winds of change continue to gather momentum, it seems that you are beginning to think more deeply as to what you truly want in life. For a long time now, you have been running on the hamster wheel, keeping on keeping on, and trying not to think too deeply about the bigger picture. It’s not that you’ve been actively ignoring the bigger picture, but it’s just been easier not to engage with it too much as your dreams and priorities often feel like an indulgence that you simply don’t have time for. This might sound like an exaggeration, but when you close your eyes and connect to your dreams, you can sense just how much you have lost touch with your creativity and energy. Your inner twinkle is still sparkling, you just have to turn towards it rather than keeping your back to it. In essence, it seems that you spend so much of your time keeping on keeping on because that’s how you get from a to b, that you have stopped thinking about how to get from a to be (being your true self).

At the end of the day, the choice is yours as to how you live your life, but there is a sense that your soul is yearning for more space and freedom to explore, meander and create. Without even realising it, you seem to have grown so used to the hamster wheel that your time, energy, and focus is on turning the wheel, rather than stepping off, finding your feet, and taking a big, deep breath of life. Life is for living; it’s for expanding your boundaries and seeking out new terrain on all levels of your being. Let your inner light shine brightly in order to illuminate your strength, courage, and vibrancy as this is your time to turn towards what you truly want in life…

Leo
♌

As you continue to connect to the quiet spaces within your heart and soul, there is a sense that you are realising just how much of your life has been shaped by ought’s, must’s and should’s. Of course, this could be said for most souls, but there is a sense that you have given so much of yourself that you have lost sight of your true strength and resolve. It’s within these quiet spaces where insight and illumination reside as they can show you the path to living a richer, more fulfilling life. Whilst there will always be things to do, people to see and places to go, there is a need for this to be more on your own terms now. Although you are a fiery, creative, and passionate soul, you seem so easily caught up in the currents of other people’s lives. This is understandable given your fluidity, but puzzling given your strength and fire. It seems you have become weighed down trying to be everything to everyone, but ignoring your own needs at the same time.

Your tendency to give so much is admirable, but you already know the importance of giving to yourself as well. Intuitively you know this, but sometimes a gentle nudge in the ribs acts as a reminder! It’s time to make some changes and to let those quiet spaces within bring you both insight and wisdom as to how to re-balance all areas of your life. It’s time to acknowledge that it’s possible to re-shape and re-define your life in order to live more in accordance with your true essence. The more you re-connect to your passion, creativity and inspiration, the more you will realise the need to step beyond those ought’s and must’s, as you need more freedom now as you stop focusing on where you feel you need to be and instead focus wholeheartedly on where you are…

Virgo
♍

Life is shaped by a series of moments that are often random, incongruent, and seemingly unconnected. You are gifted in being able to see both the finer details and the bigger picture in life, so you can often see these moments as both individual and collective, but you can also see the threads that weave in and out, connecting random moments and highlighting patterns and beliefs. In essence, you have the ability to see the tapestry of life from every angle. This is quite a gift, but it can also feel overwhelming at times as it’s not always clear if you are looking at the finer details or the bigger picture, as the bigger picture always has a bigger picture as it’s a part of the infinity of time and space. However, when you take a deep breath and bring your attention to the present moment, the overwhelm fades away bringing you both insight and wisdom.

There are moments in your life that have been extraordinary and special, there are some moments you try hard to forget, but there are many many more that sit in the bracket of ‘mundane’. Of course, this is the case for most people, but it seems important for you to acknowledge this as it is often these mundane moments that act as foundations, helping you to weave your creativity and wisdom into new avenues and pathways to explore. So, although the mundane often feels tedious, it also has the power to bring you context and insight, as it allows you to find distinctions between the routine and the extraordinary, helping you to open up to embrace even more ‘extraordinary’ into your life. November looks set to be a month for you to step back a little in order to contemplate your true priorities and reflect on your dreams as you re-shape and re-define your life from the inside, out…

Libra
♎

November looks set to be a month for exploring the pauses in your life: those spaces within spaces where you are in-between an in breath and an out breath, where you are doing neither one nor the other. Of course, most of the time you’re not even aware of these pauses, but they have the potential to bring you important insights and wisdom. It is hard to captivate the true power of these spaces, as it’s so nebulous and hard to define, yet the silent gaps in the buzz and throng of modern life allow reflection, beauty, and creativity to flow. In a way, this is similar to present moment awareness, like watching the setting sun or seeing a bird soaring in the thermals. Yet, it goes deeper than this, as the more conscious you are of the spaces, the more you can tune into them and regain your balance and perspective. Life often feels as though it is moving at a million miles an hour, your head moves even faster in a cacophony of thoughts.

Living life in the fast lane can leave you feeling out of balance, but it also has the potential to highlight the pauses and inspire you to breathe more deeply into life. When you consciously step into a pause, your creativity ignites and your ability to think outside of the box magnifies. In short, the more you focus on the pauses, the more you will find ways to join them up and expand them, enabling you to channel your energy towards your dreams and priorities. It’s easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of life, but the spaces will help you to focus and re-align your heart and soul. This is a time to be creative and to find the self-belief to live your very best life. Take a deep breath and let your gifts flow free…

Scorpio
♏

Cultivating self-belief and stepping beyond the busy-ness of everyday distractions both continue to take centre stage throughout November. You have spent a great deal of time listening to the inner critic that constantly whispers in your ear leaving you feeling as though you have no choice but to live your life in accordance to the wants, needs and whims of others. At the same time, your inner critic creates self-doubt when it comes to acknowledging your dreams and expressing your true essence. There are many reasons your inner critic acts this way, and whilst it can feel frustrating, it’s important to know that your critic is only trying to help and support you. Of course, this conditioning started many years ago, so it seems time to turn towards your inner critic with love and to reach out, showing your inner critic that there is a new way to live. Yes, this carries risk, but everything in life is uncertain. So, it’s time for you to tap into your courage and creativity in order to step onto a new path in life. Try not to fight your inner critic, instead take their hand, and reassure them, let them know that you are stronger when all of the different facets of your being come together as one.

As November progresses, it’s time to let go of the everyday distractions of things to do, people to see and places to go and instead start to focus on the things that are truly important. It’s time to realise that your ‘to do’ list is mostly comprised of things that don’t really matter that much: some are there out of habit, and some seem to belong to others. At the same time, some are present because it’s easier to have these as goals rather than taking a chance on reaching towards your dreams. Believe in yourself and let your intuition guide you forwards…

Sagittarius
♐

You have always been something of an adventurer in life, seeking out the paths less travelled and finding joy in the nooks and crannies of life. In order to flourish and thrive, you need variety, spontaneity, and an opportunity for growth, as these help to give you a sense of purpose. Yet, whilst this certainly resonates on many levels, there is a sense that when it actually comes to stepping into unchartered terrain, you are quite cautious and reserved. Your heart and soul yearn for freedom, but your head errs on the side of caution as you doubt yourself and wonder if you have ‘what it takes’ to truly be free. So, in many ways this is something of an internal struggle, but it obviously impacts all areas of your life as you hold back from your vibrant, passionate, and creative essence, preferring to keep it under wraps rather than shining brightly. Why? You are gifted and talented, and you have built up a wealth of knowledge and wisdom over the years allowing you to navigate the inevitable twists and turns in life with courage and skill.

It seems time to find a way to let your inner adventurer and freedom seeker have some room to breathe more deeply into life as to resist this side of you diminishes your essence. Intuitively you know you need to let your gifts flow freely and whilst life has offered you more than your fair share of challenges, try not to let this hold you back from grabbing hold of the moment and making the most of now. Life isn’t a straight path, it meanders and twists, potholes and blind corners are scattered along the way, along with the odd fallen tree, dead end and flock of sheep blocking the road. In other words, live for now; embrace the moment to be your true self. It’s time to live as wholeheartedly as possible…

Capricorn
♑

As you continue to find ways to ride the ebb and flow of life, there is a sense that you have gained a great deal of wisdom and insight when it comes to the choices you make and why you make them. You love to be the person others turn to, you thrive when supporting those around you and even though there are times when you feel as though you’re not sure where you end and where others begin, this doesn’t stop you from giving, giving, and then giving a bit more. It’s quite hard to articulate, but there is a need deep within you that yearns for an opportunity to turn your attention within for a while in order to re-connect to your own needs and your truth. Truth comes in many shapes and sizes, and truth is unique to each individual as we each experience life differently. However, over time, your sense of truth and sense of self has faded as you have given so much of yourself to others.

You intuitively know that life isn’t just about giving to others, it’s also about giving to yourself as well. You are a wonderful, magical, and intuitive soul, and you are deeply aware of the multi-layered and multi-faceted nature of existence. It’s time to start re-connecting to your inner world and stepping beyond the ‘keeping on keeping on’ of everyday life in order to acknowledge your creativity, intuition, and innovation. You are a wise being and your intuition knows no boundaries, so why not use these more? Why not turn within and acknowledge your own needs in order to re-align how you live your life? This can help you to make sense as to why you make the choices you make, and it will also help you to listen to your soul as it guides you forwards towards a new and exciting chapter in life…

Aquarius
♒

You have spent a great deal of your life trying to seek out insight and wisdom, trying to understand why things are the way they are. You are a deep thinker, and your consciousness is expansive, so your questioning often goes further and deeper than most would ever comprehend. As a result, you often gain a unique perspective which shapes and defines all aspects of your life. Of course, you have spent a great deal of time trying to make sense of the different facets of your being and trying to unravel any inner knots you have discovered along the way. There is a part of you that is on an almost constant mission to seek out understanding and although this can be illuminating, it can also at times be tiring as you never truly switch off. Sometimes it’s within the quiet moments where inspiration and intuition reside, sometimes it’s the ‘not looking’ that brings you answers. This isn’t to say that you should change how you live your life, it’s just a nudge to remind you of the power of stillness and of the need to not push quite so hard.

Life doesn’t have to be a constant quest for forward movement; it can also involve pauses and opportunities for reflection. Although you yearn to keep learning, try to find the wisdom in letting go a little, and seeking out the magic of ‘not doing’. See these moments as a chance to re-align and review your path ahead as you are constantly changing and evolving so it makes sense that your destination changes as well. It’s time to shift your focus slightly as you think about the bigger picture of your life; you are nearing an important crossroads, so you need to be clear about where you are heading and why. Life isn’t just about chasing rainbows, sometimes the real joy comes from becoming the rainbow…

Pisces
♓

There are times in your life when you feel as though you are in a little wooden boat being carried along with the currents of life. Yet, at the same time, you can also feel as though you are in a little wooden boat, fully stocked with supplies and anchored close to the shore. The boat that drifts represents how you often perceive yourself – being carried along by the currents of other people’s lives. The anchored boat is more of a reflection of your free spirit and creativity, anchored because you so often feel as though you are unable to be your true self. These two images represent a powerful dichotomy in your life, a sense of powerlessness and drift, and a sense of repression and being tethered. In some ways you know you can’t be doing both, but intuitively you know that it’s perfectly possible to do both as this is your lived experience! However, your perception matters as you often feel as though you drift along even though you create the currents, and you frequently feel anchored and unable to explore pastures new even though you are in the boat and can lift the anchor anytime you choose.

Of course, this little boat represents the hopes and dreams that are still waiting to be acknowledged. Even though you keep the boat fully stocked with supplies, unless you up-anchor, the boat will continue to represent ‘what could be’ rather than ‘what is’. In essence, it seems time for you to make some important choices, to realise that you are in the driving seat of your life and rather than feeling powerless and tethered, acknowledge that you are only tethered (anchored) because you choose to be. The boat is calling to your heart and soul to discover a new way of living and being. Stand in your power and have the courage to explore pastures new.

October 2023 Astrology Forecast

October 2023 Astrology Forecast

By Sarah Jane Grace

Posted on September 2, 2023

 

 

As the wheel of the year continues to turn, it’s hard to comprehend that we are already three-quarters of the way through 2023. On one hand it has flashed by in the blink of an eye, but on the other hand it has felt heavy and slow. Many of us have found ourselves in a kind of stasis: a nebulous and ill-defined space of waiting. Like most waiting rooms, there is little comfort or joy to be found, just an eagerness to get from where we were to where we want to be. Yet, perhaps this misses the point, maybe the real learning is to be found in the very space we often see as temporary?

The pace of evolution has quickened for so many over recent years and many have entered a state of incubation, a deep conscious process to let go of old beliefs, roles, and ideas. There is a powerful need to let go of past conditioning in order to re-connect more willingly to the kaleidoscope of pure energies as they weave in and out of life. Incubation is hard, it’s transitional and often lonely, and we can feel pressured to continue ‘keeping on keeping on’, but yearning for quiet, space and time to let the process unfold in its own time and in its own way.

Of course, when we do find ourselves with space (whether within our hearts and souls, or in other areas of life), there is often a desire to fill it. Yet, space is important, it has great value and it’s often within these spaces where true wisdom and creativity reside. However, space can be uncomfortable as it means allowing distractions to float away and stepping back from the humdrum 24/7 buzz of modern life. Space is needed to facilitate transformation, and it’s within the space where we can allow ourselves to re-shape and re-define our lives.

Life has been unquestionably challenging for so many over the last few years, although we can sense we are on the threshold of a new way of living and being, we cannot immerse ourselves within this as we still have the old to process, release and set free. Sometimes this is a conscious process, but mostly it’s from the unconscious, and this is why creating and nurturing space is so important as we each need to allow the process to happen.

Just like planting a seed in the ground, it doesn’t turn into a tree the next day; it takes time. In the same way, it takes time to peel back the masks, façades, and layers we all have in order to connect to pure essence. The process of allowing can be challenging as it means acknowledging our faults and imperfections, it means loving those aspects of ourselves that we resist, deny, or even detest. It’s only by opening up to the truth that we can each step into a new way of living and being.

The cycles of life can be confusing and overwhelming at times, but they can also bring us hope as the wheels always turn. From darkness comes light, from pain comes the capacity for joy. Perhaps it’s the context each brings the other that enables us to make sense of the cycles we each walk? Intuitively we sense the need for the wheel to turn, but we also feel in the nebulous state of incubation as we wait, watch, process, release…

It’s a bit like being in-between here and there, not quite nowhere, but somewhere in the middle that lacks shape, structure, and definition. Of course, it’s hard to feel comfortable in such a space, but intuitively we know it’s necessary as we cannot evolve unless we shed the layers we no longer need. These layers are unique to each soul so there is no instruction manual or guidebook; we each have to find our own way. This can be lonely at times, but this is a process we need to go through now.

As a result, life feels chaotic and uncertain, and many of us feel an almost constant stream of shift (with and without the f!). We can feel like we’re on the verge of something new, only nothing happens. Frustration builds and this brings to the surface old patterns and beliefs that need clearing and releasing. Endings come and go, but we discover that renewal doesn’t only come from accepting endings, it comes from opening up and allowing the process of evolution to unfold. So, it’s hard to know how to act or how to be as everything is up in the air.

One thing seems clear: we each need to go deeply within in order to seek out ways to live more simply and more richly. As we release the pain, beliefs and experiences that have shaped and defined our lives, we may feel as though we are locked in a sound-proofed room, but we are not alone. We are never truly alone. Of course, it can be so hard when we feel as though we are standing in a crowd of people, but feel lonelier and more isolated than ever before, as though we don’t speak the same language, but this is part of the process of transformation. The more we let go, the more we realise that we move beyond language and connect in new ways which are, as yet, without real definition.

There is a strong need for quiet, a need to withdraw in order to take stock and reflect. We can’t completely escape the busy-ness of life, but we need to find as much breathing space as possible.

Connection is important though. Understanding and compassion, acceptance and grace bring us together and can help each of us through even the darkest of nights. Sometimes it’s not the obvious souls that bring us unity, it’s not about words or commonality, just a sense of kin. None of us are islands, we each need to connect.

For now, and as always, I wish you all kinds of wonderful.

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries
♈

As change and shift continue on every level of your being, and in every aspect of your life, there is a sense that you are entering a powerful chapter of re-assessment and re-focus as you unravel the ‘to do’ list of your life and work out your true priorities. Over the years, it’s easy to accumulate so many ought’s, must’s, should’s and wants, and it’s rare to take the time to sift through these to sort out the wheat from the chaff. Some of your long-term dreams are hard to let go of but you have grown and evolved so much, they just don’t seem to resonate well with you anymore. Although there is a sense of obligation to stick with your dreams, intuitively you know how important it is to set them free if they no longer connect to your heart and soul. Sometimes the act of letting something go is profoundly challenging, but unless you let it go, how can you make space for new dreams and plans to surface?

So, the more you review your ‘to do’ list, the more you are realising just how much clutter you’ve collected over the years. Everyone does this, it’s just that you now have this amazing opportunity to sweep the decks and focus on your true priorities rather than leave them languishing on the list, buried underneath a whole heap of ‘stuff’ that no longer resonates. Of course, there will always be responsibilities and duties that you’d rather avoid, but this reshuffle and cleanse is more about your innermost dreams: the things that make your heart flutter and soul shine brightly. October is a month for you to focus on your inner world and to re-connect to what brings you joy. Whilst you will always be the rock and support for others, it’s time now for you to honour your own need more. So, no more ‘to do’ list, change it to ‘I really want and need this’ list….

Taurus
♉

As the winds of change continue to gather pace and momentum in all areas of your life, there is a sense of eager anticipation within you as you have felt stuck on the precipice of change for such a long time. Yet, at the same time, there is an air of reticence that the wheels of life continue to turn, and you are having to deal with yet more change. It’s difficult to juggle both of these as they appear to be at polar opposite ends of the spectrum in life, however it’s important to find a way through and encourage the reluctant side of your nature to at least meet the more exuberant side halfway. Inner unity looks set to be a powerful theme over the weeks and months ahead as you take some time to acknowledge why the reluctant side of you exists and find ways to support this more fragile side of your essence. It’s easy to charge through life, keeping on keeping on, but there is a need for you to find a deeper level of inner cohesion to ensure that every aspect of your being is onboard with the choices you make and the paths you walk.

This might seem like a strange observation, after all, you go wherever you take yourself, but at the core of your being is a collection of threads that weave together to make you whole. When one or several of these threads are not in sync then you can feel unfocused, fatigued and out of sorts. Whilst you are determined and often push through when life feels heavy, it’s time to instead look within and acknowledge the imbalance so you can start to make some changes. You are on the edge of a powerful awakening, so the more you can honour your true essence, the more you will realise just how much potential you truly have…

Gemini
♊

Gazing through the window deep into your soul has been a central theme over recent months as you have felt a yearning to get closer to your true essence. There’s a sense that you have grown weary of the ‘chitter chatter’ of life: the pedestrian, unnecessary clutter that seems to fill up every day, leaving you little time for ‘quality’ when it comes to doing the things that really matter to you. Of course, a great deal of this ‘chitter chatter’ is of your own making, so there is a need for you to become a bit stricter when it comes to managing your time, as well as leaning into the discomfort of saying ‘No!’. Defining your boundaries is an important part of this process as you need to be able to establish a clear sense of yourself in order to find a way through the inevitable ‘chitter chatter’ of everyday life.

Whilst you can never completely escape the many things to do, people to see or places to go, the more structure and shape you can create in your life, the more you will realise the need to prioritise and to carve out some quality time each day. This doesn’t have to be hours, in fact just five or ten minutes can make a difference if you are spending that time on self-care or enhancing your well-being. Some well-placed breathwork can help you to re-centre and re-balance, bringing focus and calm. You need to find your own strategies, but the need to re-shape and re-define your life is important now as you are on the brink of another chapter of change. Change is inevitable, but how you approach it can prove revolutionary. You have spent so long trying to seek answers to the many unanswered questions in your life, but it’s time now to shift the focus towards what you already know and build on this to find new ways to live, breathe and expand…

Cancer
♋

As you find yourself once again standing on the threshold of change, there is a sense that you’ve reached a powerful and important realisation. You have always been intuitive and much wiser than your years, but there has been a level of resistance within you when it comes to change, particularly when it’s changing something you don’t want changed. This realisation is connected to a shift towards wholeheartedly accepting change and acknowledging its constant presence in your life. This might not sound like much of a shift as you have always handled change when it’s come your way, but this shift is towards consciously opening up to change and letting go of the urge to fight it. Of course, there are times when you need to stand firm, but when you become more tuned into the ebb and flow of the cycles of change, you become less affected by them because your powerful intuition guides you through.

Although you are turning towards intuitively accepting change, there is still some work to do on how your head manages it as there still seems to be a stark difference. You often think and over-think, wanting certainty where there isn’t any, and seeking clarity from the unknowable. There is a need to find ways to bring together these two aspects of your being into a more cohesive whole in order to better navigate your path ahead. Your intuition is phenomenal and it’s important to embrace this more, as it’s your guiding light through even the stormiest of times. You might want to build foundations made of rock, but you know it’s not possible as nothing in life is ever certain, change is a constant and ever-evolving force. So instead of pushing against this, go with the flow as this will set you free and transport you towards a brand-new way of living and being…

Leo
♌

Seeking out the quiet spaces within your heart and soul continues to take centre stage throughout October as you contemplate what truly makes you happy in life. It’s easy to go through each day, knowing what you want and what you need, maybe even having a sense of what brings you joy, but the over-riding need to keep on keeping on with all of the necessities in life often obscures the view within, preventing you from having a clear focus when it comes to happiness and joy. It’s not that they are out of reach, just out of focus as you simply haven’t had the time to gain a clear sense of how to nurture and nourish these qualities more in your life. Of course, being your true self is important as this is how you flourish and thrive, and this is how you connect to your dreams and priorities, but there is more to life than this, there’s a need to consciously choose to cultivate happiness; to decide that it’s a primary goal for you. It’s like many of the things we strive for in life, we need to set an intent in order to bring the goal into view. From there, we can plan and find ways to bring the goal to fruition.

It’s easy to focus on the gap between where you are and where you’d like to be, but it’s time to see beyond the gap and look towards where you are now. Focusing on the gap shines a light on a sense of loss or incompletion as it highlights all that you’re not or all that you’ve not yet become. Whilst it can act as motivator, it can also lead to feelings of being ‘less than’. So, shift the focus towards all that you already are, focus on joy and cultivate happiness. Although this won’t magically transform your life, it will help you to connect to the things that truly and wholeheartedly make you happy…

Virgo
♍

As you continue to make some positive changes in your life, there is a sense that you are beginning to unpick and unravel some of the knots and tangles within. Knots and tangles form within everyone as an inevitable part of life, some people never notice, some choose not to look, but you have always been willing to acknowledge every aspect of yourself. In some ways, unravelling these inner knots and tangles feels like an opportunity to re-use the threads to create a brand-new tapestry, one that reflects your true essence and creative spark. Of course, it’s been challenging at times to look so deeply within, as you often place your personal expectations and goals high up on a pedestal, so your exacting, perfectionist standards can leave you ‘wanting’ when it comes to acknowledging aspects of yourself that have knotted or tangled along the way. Yet, it’s an inevitable part of life, so instead of feeling like you must do better, it’s important to realise that life isn’t about chasing perfection, it’s about finding joy in the here and now.

You are not a superhuman, you don’t wear spandex and glitter, you are you and it’s time to realise just how wonderful that is. So, instead of trying to be someone you’re not, be yourself and love yourself for it. This isn’t to say you should give up on dreams or goals, but it’s more of a nudge that life doesn’t begin only after/if you achieve these goals, life is for living now. There is a clear distinction between having goals in life and actually living your life. There is a risk that goals always remain goals as you get on with the business of living. It’s time to incorporate your goals into each day, and to start embracing life more wholeheartedly in each and every moment. You are a wise, empowered, and creative soul, and it’s time now to embrace all that you are…

Libra
♎

The need to breathe deeply continues throughout October as you find new ways to re-shape and re-define your life. You have spent a long time finding your centre and trying to find ways to create more balance and harmony on every level of your life. This is still a work in progress, but there is a definite sense of shift within you. Breathing deeply has enabled you to ground yourself more, it has helped you to de-stress, but it has also given you an opportunity to step back from the hurricane in your mind in order to find stillness and clarity. As you well know, your inner hurricane is a reflection of your phenomenal mind and your ability to think at a million miles an hour. So, whilst your hurricane feels tumultuous and challenging, it’s actually your source of power and inspiration. Yet, there are times when the hurricane takes over and takes you away from your intuitive, spiritual core, and it’s so important to give this side of your nature the freedom to flow. Yes, you are a wisdom being, but you are also a creative, spiritual and intuitive being as well.

All of your different parts matter, as they enable you to see the bigger picture, inspiring you to step beyond the four walls of your everyday life and stride towards unchartered terrain. You are on the periphery of a potent and significant period of change, one that feels exciting and exhilarating, a sense of adventure and new beginnings. Despite this, there is also an air of discontent, as your time spent breathing deeply has made you yearn for stillness rather than change. It therefore seems clear that you need to realise that breathing deeply is a life strategy, not just a temporary way to re-focus, and the more you spend time breathing and connecting to life, the more you will realise that your beautiful hurricane and your creative gifts will guide you forth with courage, strength, and belief…

Challenging and hushing your inner critic has rarely been an easy task for you as the voice in your ear often berates you for not doing enough, trying enough or being enough. Although you know this voice comes from your own consciousness, it’s still been hard to transform this into something more wholesome and life affirming as you have grown so used to giving yourself a hard time. October shines the light of self-compassion even more brightly to inspire you to step beyond the storylines that have shaped and defined your life for so long. Of course, everyone has storylines, as that’s a part of being human – we carve out many beliefs and ideals based on our interactions and experiences. Whilst most of these storylines are positive, some are less so and can turn into a vehement inner critic that can grind you down over time. Intuitively you know you are doing enough and trying enough, but this voice can sometimes drown out the voice of reason. It’s time now for the storyline to change as you make peace with your inner critic and find a new life-affirming inner voice to support you.

Self-belief is a force to be nurtured and nourished now as you start to find new ways to re-connect to the core of your being as you re-write your inner language, and start to connect to some more positive re-enforcement. This isn’t the same as affirmations (although if these help, then brilliant), it’s more about changing the language you use from harsh or judgemental to loving and understanding. Stop feeling you’re not good enough or not trying hard enough and start to focus on your achievements (however small), notice the positives! As a fluid soul, the story of your life is obviously heavily entwined with others, so it can sometimes be hard to know if a particular storyline is yours or someone else’s, but take a deep breath, re-centre and let your incredible intuition guide you…

Sagittarius
♐

‘Let your truth find its own way’ is perhaps the most apt phrase for you for October. It’s hard to list all of the reasons for this, but you have reached a significant crossroads in your life, particularly at soul level, and you have started to delve deeply within your heart and soul to explore the concept of truth and what it really means to you. This may seem odd, after all, the truth is the truth, but is it? After all, we each have filters and beliefs, so the truth becomes unique to each individual. Of course, this isn’t about irrefutable facts, it’s about how you live your life, your dreams, and your gifts. Your truth is your essence and sense of self. You have spent such a long time trying to be the person you felt you ought to be and needed to be, but have resisted diving deeply into your own essence. There are multiple layers of reasons for this, but intuitively you know why you do what you do. Yes, you are a complex being, but even complex beings have the power to simplify, re-shape and re-define.

So, it’s time to change some of these beliefs now as there’s a need to live more wholeheartedly and to let your gifts flow freely. Life is for living and for making the most of every single day. No one can know what’s around the next corner, so instead of procrastinating or trying to be the person you feel you should be, it’s time to be yourself; it’s time to embrace your truth. It can be hard for you to let go and trust the process as the need to understand and rationalise is strong, but let your intuition guide you and know that this is your time to shine brightly. Take a deep breath and connect to the words: ‘let your truth find its own way’ and you will have all the guidance you need…

Capricorn

Having the courage to be yourself continues to be a central theme throughout October as you start to make some important decisions as to what’s truly valuable in your life. There has long been a deep perception of discontentment between your dreams and the duties/responsibilities you have. It’s as though your heart wants to dance, embracing your gifts and going with the flow, but your head is very firmly focused on duty and keeping on keeping on. It can be hard to see any possible way to bring these two forces together, but they are both a part of you so do exist side by side. It’s time to find some new ways to bring them together in a more balanced way to enable you to stop feeling as though you’re always carrying the weight of the world by having so much to do, see, be and achieve. Life isn’t about being the ‘best’ you, it’s about living each day as fully and as wholeheartedly as possible.

Let go of some of those ought’s and must’s, and know that it simply isn’t possible to continue trying to keep everybody happy all of the time. In your attempt to take care of others, you often downgrade or dismiss your own needs, and this is the source of your layer of discontentment: intuitively you sense the imbalance, but still find it so hard to honour yourself more. This needs to change! Stop being so stubborn and realise that your needs matter. Yes, stubbornness can be a strong trait when it comes to pushing on with life, but sometimes you need to let it go and think about what you truly want and need. Take a moment to step back and see the bigger picture as there’s a need for you to shift the balance of your life towards a more balanced and wholehearted way of living and being. In short, it’s time to live the best possible life…

Aquarius
♒

As you continue to re-shape and re-define your life from the inside, out, there is a sense that you are beginning to see yourself and your life with fresh perspective. It’s as though you have temporarily stepped back from your everyday life to look at the bigger picture and this has shown you where you’ve been, where you’re heading and where you are now. In some ways, there is a sense of surprise as you see how much you have meandered from the path you’ve felt you ought to be walking, but despite this, it seems clear that you have grown and evolved so much more than you imagined possible. Sometimes it’s the meandering that brings the most insight and wisdom, and it has helped to facilitate this period of transformation. You seem ready now to explore new avenues and pathways, stepping into unchartered terrain and having the courage to step away from the path you had so carefully mapped out for yourself.

You have realised the true value is in the journey rather than the destination, as it’s along the journey where you have the space to evolve and explore the unknown. You are a wise and vibrant soul, and by giving yourself the freedom to flourish is a gift that will continue to inspire you to seek out new horizons in life. Whilst many of these horizons are within your heart and soul, they have the power to bring you a true sense of balance and a deep feeling of peace. Try not to push too hard to understand why things are the way they are, sometimes you need to trust the flow and let your intuition guide you. In addition, try not to feel disappointed if you drift off-course, see it as an opportunity for growth. Savour every step of the journey and feel gratitude that you are on the verge of a brand-new adventure…

Pisces
♓

You have always been shaped by the ebb and flow of the currents, often sensing the vastness of existence and the inherently unknowable nature of life. There are times when you have felt overwhelmed with this insight, but it has also been a richly rewarding connection as it has brought you wisdom and strength, even during some difficult and challenging periods of your life. Your fluidity, creativity and intuition can sometimes feel hard to contain or channel, but it’s the free-flowing nature of your essence that allows you to explore the depths of your true potential. It’s easy to become lost in all of this as your essence is so vast and hard to define, but it’s this undefinable nature that brings you your creativity and intuition. Over-thinking this could tie you up in knots, so let your intuition guide you through the inevitable uncertainty of life and inspire you to ride the waves in order to flourish and thrive. Your inner power is formidable, and your intuition is phenomenal, so trust these to guide you through the ups and downs; more importantly, let your gifts inspire you to become even more self-aware and awakened as you think about your path ahead.

Although you are a complex soul, you long for a simpler, but more enriching way of living and being. You find modern life quite oppressive and pressured, pushing against your innermost values and ideals. Whilst you are unlikely to be able to escape from it all completely, it seems important to make some changes, so you have the time and space to breathe and re-balance whenever you need to. Your heart and soul need space for quiet and reflection as you’re simply not build to sustain a continued fast pace of life. So, try to carve out time each day for yourself, even a few minutes will help bring you some balance. It’s time now to let your wisdom be your biggest strength.
