Monthly Forecast: Message for February 2024

Monthly Forecast for February 2024

By Sarah Jane Grace

Posted on February 2, 2024

 

 

Despite a somewhat energetically bumpy start to the year, there is a growing sense of calm emerging as we each begin to find a deeper sense of peace within. The ebb and flow of life is always changing, always moving, and although we each intuitively know this, it can be hard at times when we feel lost and weary and all we want is to rest and be still. When life feels too heavy or too challenging, we can lose sight of perspective and the bigger picture, feeling trapped in the chaos, pressure, and stress. Over time, this can feel suffocating and tiring, as though we are constantly pushing against the currents. Of course, there definitely are times when we are pushing against the currents, but there are many other moments when we’re calmly going with the flow, but these can fade away as the chaos so often takes centre stage. This is only natural, but it seems important that we each try to find ways to step into the peace that resides within us, as the more we get lost in the external stress, the less connected we become to our hearts and souls.

In many ways, finding peace comes from a willingness to embrace the concept of ‘not knowing’, of welcoming uncertainty and realising that it’s ‘not knowing’ that can become a true source of joy, inspiration, and creativity as it’s a sign that despite the inherently unknowable nature of life, the more we let go of trying to gather certainty and guarantees, the more we realise the need to live as fully as possible in each and every moment. So, instead of being a barrier to living, not knowing has the power to set us free from conditional and linear living. There is power in embracing the moment and choosing to live as wholeheartedly as possible. When we sit on the periphery and wait for a better moment, we can have a very long wait.

In essence, it’s time to realise that the more we can live in the moment, the more we can channel our gifts into living the best life possible. We can never know what lies around the next corner, so instead of living in fear of uncertainty, when we befriend it, those self-imposed prison walls of doubt and procrastination fall away leaving us to fly free. It doesn’t matter how much we want certainty or guarantees, it just isn’t possible, we can struggle, fight and resist, but it doesn’t change things, so coming to terms with the impermanence of a shifting world can bring us grace and serenity.

Finding peace and acceptance in an ever-changing landscape takes courage and wisdom, but we are evolving and creative souls and it’s time now to seek out new ways of living and being. This is easier said than done when we find ourselves being tossed around by the storms of life, but when we turn towards the storms and allow our intuition to guide us, we find ways to flourish and thrive. It’s hard to articulate this shift, but the more we let go, the more peace we find.

Embracing uncertainty is not an easy concept, but denying it only holds us in a state of resistance and this creates friction, leaving us struggling to express our gifts and creativity. This isn’t the same as giving up, it’s a willingness to accept the uncertainty of life but still choosing to live life to the full. We cannot avoid challenges, nor can we ‘fix’ all of our pain and suffering, but we can begin to find more balance in life, and this can help us to navigate the challenges with more wisdom and peace.

Living wholeheartedly means taking a chance on life, exploring new terrain, and opening up to the unknown. So many of us hover on the periphery, doubting our gifts or waiting for a better moment, and so many of us never get the chance to grab hold of life with both hands. Of course, grabbing life with both hands means opening up to some good experiences and some not so good experiences, but that’s an inevitable part of life. We cannot outrun challenges, but we can learn and evolve from them. Life is for living, not for trying to anaesthetise ourselves from the struggles. We can build brick walls around our hearts and souls, but surely all this achieves is to further numb ourselves from living a rich and full life?

It’s time to embrace our strengths, resilience, and gifts, and instead of feeling broken, alone, or disconnected, to seek out ways to find connection once again. There sadly isn’t an instruction manual for life, so we each need to find our own way. Even though we may feel alone, there are always like-minded souls connected to us by a unity of vision. When we pause and take a deep breath, we can re-centre once again.

Life is an adventure and an opportunity to flourish and thrive. Happiness is less about the things we do, the people we see, the places we go or the things we achieve, but more about how we feel and our state of being. It’s about how we breathe into life and how we let life breathe into us…

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

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

As the light within your heart and soul continues to shine brightly, there is a sense that you are beginning to see in more detail the nooks and crannies within you that have been in the shadows for so long. These nooks and crannies represent aspects of your hopes and dreams, many of which you parked some time ago in order to do more and be more for those around you. Yet, although you have given of yourself willingly, your hopes and dreams never completely faded away and now you are seeking out more balance and harmony on all levels of your life. Your inner light is illuminating your true priorities, reminding you that your dreams are still ready to be explored. As you continue to re-shape and re-define your sense of self, you are beginning to understand yourself, and your motivations, on a much deeper level, therefore intuitively you know how important it is to acknowledge your hopes and dreams as they represent a vibrant expression of your true essence.

Whilst you will always be there for others, it’s time to be more present for yourself as you start to understand why you do the things you do and explore new ways to live your life. Of course, it’s not easy when you’re caught up in repeating cycles, habits, or conditioning, but intuitively you know that you have the spark, creativity, and tenacity to break free from the cycles that have shaped and defined your life for so long. Let go of any frustration you may feel though as this creates friction on your path ahead, instead find the wisdom and knowledge in your experiences and learn from the choices you’ve previously made. This is a time for focusing on the present moment rather than looking back and berating yourself for choices made or not made. February is a month to create a new intent and to let your dreams fly free…

Taurus

As you continue to explore the concept of happiness in your life, there is a sense that you are beginning to gain a clearer sense as to the tweaks and adjustments you need to make in order to establish more clarity when it comes to living the life you were born to live. Although you often come across as a passive soul, the fire in your belly burns brightly and rigorously, giving you strength, courage, and determination when it comes to standing in your own truth and acknowledging your own needs and priorities. Yet, happiness is more than this, happiness is not just about eliminating what makes you unhappy, it’s a force in its own right that needs to be cultivated and nurtured. Happiness is a state of being that comes from living your life more wholeheartedly as you create your own boundaries and listen more intently to your own heart and soul. In short, happiness isn’t something to go and get, it’s something to be, it’s a willingness to live in each and every moment with openness and compassion.

It’s hard for you as you bend and flex to accommodate the needs and wants of others, but intuitively you know that it’s time now to create a new storyline that brings more balance to all areas of your life. Take some time to live more consciously and listen to your inner self more instead of charging ahead trying to be everything to everyone. Take some time to breathe deeply and regain your perspective as you step beyond the ‘to do’ list and instead think about what makes your heart sing. February is a time to re-connect to the creativity and magic of your life as you look at the bigger picture and contemplate the paths you’ve walked, the path you’re walking and the paths you’d like to walk. Let your intuition guide you…

Gemini

As you seek out new ways to navigate the storms of life with grace and calmness, there is a sense that you are beginning to realise the importance of stepping more consciously into the present moment. You are a dreamer and a thinker, and your creative spark allows you to drift into the vast expanse of consciousness in order to try to make sense as to why things are the way they are. However, there are times when drifting doesn’t bring you clarity, but only more uncertainty, and these are the times when stepping into the present moment could help you to find your anchor and connect to the peace within your heart and soul. This peace isn’t always overly obvious, particularly when you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, but it’s there; it’s always there. Of course, there are times when you feel so discombobulated that you just can’t see a way to connect to the peace within, but these are the times when you need it the most.

Try not to see it as an added distraction, but as a way of being that can help to transport you from chaos to grace. This is something of an over-simplification, but intuitively you can sense the distinctions. You are a wise being, and you are now realising that the challenges you’ve faced have enabled you to transform into something far greater than you ever imagined; you have become more than the sum of your experiences. Every experience matters, even the ones that don’t make sense have deeper meaning, but it’s time to look at these with fresh perspective in order to find a new path ahead. Stop over-thinking and over-analysing absolutely everything! You already know you can’t always find the answers to the many questions you have; sometimes, letting go and letting flow is the only way. Believe in yourself and let grace be your guide…

Cancer

As the energy within your heart and soul continues to lift and shine, there is a sense that you are beginning to see the bigger picture of your life once again. For a long time now, you have spent your time keeping on keeping on, trying to get from where you are to where you’re heading, without really having a clear goal or expectation in mind, just an urge to keep on keeping on. In many ways, you have shifted into autopilot in order to navigate the daily humdrum of life, yet running on the hamster wheel has never suited you, so there is a deep sense of lack and imbalance right at the core of your being as intuitively you want more from life. You are creative and vibrant, and the energy within you is yearning for new avenues of expression and new ways of living and being. Life isn’t just about keeping on keeping on is it? Intuitively you know this isn’t the case, but you seem stuck in a rut with this belief, and you have been finding it really hard to see how you can extricate yourself from the situation.

Sometimes, the harder you look, the less you see. Similarly, the more you keep on keeping on, the less you feel, sense or notice. February looks set to bring you an opportunity for some much-needed breathing space and whilst this might allow you to escape from the rut for a while, it’s a perfect opportunity for you to contemplate how you want to live your life from this moment on. When you feel bogged down, it’s easy to see challenges and brick walls, but when you let your vibrant intuition and creativity illuminate your heart and soul, you can start to see a new light rising over the horizon offering hope, adventure and a new way of living and being…

Leo

As you continue to look beyond the busy-ness of your ‘to do’ list and towards the essence of how you want to live your life, there is a sense that you are beginning to cultivate a deeper understanding of the difference between doing and being. Of course, logically you are well aware of the difference, but you are so often caught up in the lives of others that it can be hard to step beyond the busy-ness and towards achieving clarity when it comes to how you want to feel. Although this may sound confusing, the idea is to melt away the confusion, so you are less pulled about by the needs, wants, and wishes of others, and less influenced by your never-ending ‘to do’ list. Instead you are becoming content to feel your way through life, allowing your intuition to guide you. Life is so often measured by the things you do and achieve, and it can be hard to let go of this and instead focus on cultivating the warmth within your heart and soul as your passion, creativity and inspiration rise up and take centre stage.

As one of life’s ‘do-ers’ this is likely to feel quite challenging, but although you like to be busy, you are naturally deeply intuitive and extremely creative as well, and this side of your nature is longing for some freedom now. February brings an opportunity for you to re-set the balance in order to acknowledge your true priorities and connect more consciously to acknowledging what you truly want in life. Only you can know the answer, but it’s important to acknowledge as it’s a sign that you are re-connecting to your intuition as you re-shape and re-define your life from the inside, out. There isn’t anything for you to do, this is about ‘not doing’, as you step beyond logic and towards balance and joy…

Virgo

As you continue on your journey of self-discovery, there is a sense that you are beginning to dive deeply within in order to try to understand what makes you tick and why you do the things that you do. Although you are a contemplative, intuitive soul, there are times when you feel a sense of bewilderment when it comes to the choices you make and the paths you walk. Whilst this could be said for just about anyone, for you it’s more profound and distinct as there are times when intuitively you know you need to go one way, but you choose to go in the opposite direction. This is partly due to the influence of those around you, but mostly due to a layer of doubt within you that likes to question your intuition and be a bit rebellious. Of course, even when you’ve gone against your intuition, you’ve had some amazing experiences and wonderful insights, but it seems important that you start to explore the reasons why you seem to doubt yourself.

Whilst there is nothing wrong in ignoring your intuition, you are a wise and intuitive being, so it seems odd not to listen to your inner voice? This discord often throws a spanner in the works when it comes to being yourself and acknowledging all that you are, as it’s hard to capture a glimpse of your essence when you tend to ignore your inner world. Yet, without a deeper correlation between all aspects of your being, how can you be your true self? It’s time to embrace all that you are and to learn to trust your intuition as you are a vibrant and wise soul; in many ways you are a being of intuition as you have no edges – your soul reaches beyond infinity. Let go of the doubt with tenderness as it’s time to believe in yourself and set yourself free…

Libra

As you continue to gaze into the window of your soul, your realisation that happiness comes from a willingness to live your life as fully as possible has been something of a revelation for you. You have spent so much of your life trying to be the person you’ve felt you ought to be. Your beliefs and storylines have shaped the essence of your experience and there is a sense that you’ve felt an enormous pressure to do more, be more and achieve more, yet, all the while, longing for quiet, simplicity and being willing to accept the perfection of imperfection. The pressure you’ve placed on your own shoulders to ‘be better’ has mostly left you with a sense of lack, and this has undermined your creativity, passion, and spark, leaving you doubting your gifts and pushing away self-love and self-compassion as you’ve somehow felt ‘undeserving’. You are a complex soul and it’s impossible to untangle the complexity in a few lines here, but there is a need to let go of the ‘ought’s’ and ‘must’s’ now, changing your inner dialogue to one of more understanding and less judgement.

Of course, you have goals and aspirations, but don’t weaponise these as a way to beat yourself up for not doing more. It’s time to shift the focus away from what you haven’t done to towards the things you have, it’s time to shine the light of self-compassion and acknowledge that each day is ‘day one’ – what you did or didn’t do yesterday should not be a tool to judge yourself with. Let go a little, love yourself more and stop those ‘must’s’! You are a vibrant and beautiful soul, and it’s time to re-calibrate your inner scales away from self-judgement and towards self-love. Life isn’t just about what you achieve and the quest for perfection, it’s more about how you live and how you feel. It’s time for your soul to radiate brightly as you let your gifts flow free…

Scorpio

As you continue to explore new ways to expand your consciousness and live your life more wholeheartedly, there is a sense that you have been listening more intently to the music of your soul. Everyone has music, we each have our own tune that plays throughout the story of our lives. Mostly, this music goes unnoticed, but occasionally we catch a glimmer when we are feeling vibrant and connected. However, there is a sense that you have been longing for a deeper connection to your inner world, so finding ways to listen to the music of your soul has been a way to capture your true essence and explore your creative, spiritual, and energetic edges. Of course, intuitively you know you have no edges as you are an infinite being, but there is a risk of drifting off into infinity and losing your focus, so this is more about getting to know your true self and acknowledging what you truly want in your life, as you seem ready now to explore new landscape and re-define your purpose and sense of direction.

It’s time to breathe deeply and let the music of your soul rise up within you filling your heart with creativity and passion. Although every song is unique, there are commonalities, so whilst it’s important to celebrate your uniqueness, it’s also important to acknowledge the interconnectedness of life. Whilst you are still aware of the gap between where you are and where you want to be, the more you find peace with the music of your soul, the more you will realise that life isn’t linear, it’s not only about getting from a to b, it’s about living fully, willingly, and finding ways to thrive despite the uncertainty. February looks set to shift your focus towards the difference between living and thriving as you step beyond the treadmill and seek out a more conscious way of being…

Sagittarius

February looks set to be a month of opening up even more to living your life as wholeheartedly as possible. You are a vibrant and effervescent soul, over-brimming with ideas, possibilities, and enthusiasm; in essence you are like a bottle of fizz that’s been shaken a little and your energy is shooting off in many different directions. This might sound like fun, and it certainly brings you a plethora of different experiences in life, but it can also be exhausting as you rarely have time to pause to take a breath or re-centre. Whilst you certainly have the energy to live life on fast-forward, it seems important to discern between times to fizz and bubble, and times to be calmer and more reflective. Of course, you thrive on being busy and you love having a smorgasbord of pathways to discover at any one moment in time. However, maybe you need to ask yourself just how much of your ‘to do’ list is truly, absolutely necessary?

Less is more seems to be the focus now as you’ve been so used to being caught up in distractions and busy-ness that you’ve not taken any time to rest, reflect, and replenish. It’s rarely easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff when it comes to what’s important and what isn’t, but there’s a need to let go of clutter in your life as the free spirit within you wants the room to spread their wings and fly free. It’s hard to fly free with boxes and boxes of stuff (physical and metaphorical) being carried along. So, this is a time to let go, to know that creating balance will help you to navigate your path ahead. Whilst you will always fizz, bubble, and bounce, try to ensure that you are always using your phenomenal intuition and magnificent creativity as these will be your true guides…

Capricorn

You have been on something of a journey over recent weeks, months (even years); you have been aware of changes occurring on every level of your being, but they have, on the whole, been nebulous and beyond understanding. However, despite this nebulousness, you have sensed the need to continue on this journey as the winds of change have been gathering momentum for a long time. You have spent a great deal of your life trying to be the person you’ve felt you’ve needed to be, trying to be everything to everyone around you and often sacrificing your own needs and dreams in the process. Although you have done this willingly, over time you have realised the cost of this as your heart and soul have felt a sense of lack and this has brought you a layer of melancholy, a sense of what could have been…

Whilst you are wise enough to know that you could never truly know what could have been, intuitively you know that this nebulous shift is a result of you making some conscious changes when it comes to drawing boundaries, honouring your own needs, and listening to your intuition to guide you. You might not be one to upset the apple cart, but you also know the importance of listening to your inner world as this is the true source of happiness and joy. It’s therefore time to shift your focus towards living the best life possible, to shine the light of compassion within and to have the courage to explore unchartered terrain. It’s important to acknowledge that your dreams have never been lost, they’ve just been gathering dust as you’ve not had the time, or focus, to bring them to life. Until now! Although still nebulous, the winds of change have brought some momentum and courage, so pull back the curtains, grab the duster and let your dreams shine brightly once again…

Aquarius

As you continue to ponder and reflect on the life you’ve lived, the life you’re living and the life you’d like to live, there is a sense that you have made some big discoveries, connecting more consciously to the meaning of life, and gaining a clearer connection to your true essence. You have spent a great deal of time trying to make sense of life, your path, and your purpose, and although you are a visionary, there is a sense that your focus has often been on the gap between where you are and where you’d like to be. Whilst this is natural, it has often put you under immense pressure as you’ve felt scattered in many different directions at the same time making it hard for you to focus. As a result, you’ve sometimes felt lost, misunderstood, and overwhelmed with your gifts as you’ve not been able to work out how best to flourish and thrive.

In addition, there have always been things to see, do, be and achieve, and although you are naturally inquisitive, this has often brought you further confusion and left you in a spin. Yet, despite this confusion, deep within the core of your being, you have always had a sense of the greater purpose of your life; it’s been woolly and nebulous at times, but you’ve always felt the inklings of ‘something more’ and it’s time to turn towards this more wholeheartedly now in order to seek out a clearer sense of direction. You are nearing a new chapter, a time to shed some of the clutter on all levels of your life, and a time to think about what you truly want. What makes you happy? What energises you? What depletes you? Take some time to look at the bigger picture and the finer details of your life and let your intuition lead the way…

Pisces

You have spent a great deal of your life trying to make sense as to why things are the way they are. You have explored the world within you and gazed deeply into your heart and soul as you’ve opened up to your strengths and gifts. This hasn’t been easy for you as you often see yourself as a passive force that drifts along with the currents of other people’s lives. However, intuitively you know that this perspective isn’t an accurate reflection of your exceptional wisdom, courage, and power, but it’s somehow easier to defer to the default setting of ‘drifting’ as it makes for an easier life! Or does it? More recently you have found yourself on new terrain as you have discovered more about yourself and your gifts than ever before, making it hard to deny or resist your phenomenal presence. This has left you in something of a conundrum as intuitively you know that true balance and joy comes from embracing your gifts, so denying them is denying yourself an opportunity for a more enriching life.

It seems important to ask yourself why you’re holding back from exploring unchartered terrain and embracing a new way of living and being. You are a vibrant, creative, and intuitive soul, your inner light shines brightly and just about every cell of your being is generous, loving, and compassionate. February looks set to invite you to begin the process of shedding the load of misplaced self-beliefs and to instead embrace your true essence as you contemplate what you truly want from your life. Such a process takes courage and vision, but you’re ready now to set yourself free in order to find more balance, harmony, and joy in every nook and cranny of your soul. As you cross this new threshold, take some time out to rest as this will help to re-ignite your passion and creativity as you redefine your life from the inside, out.

September 2023 Astrology Forecast

September 2023 Astrology Forecast

By Sarah Jane Grace

Posted on September 2, 2023

Watching the waves crashing onto the rocks, listening to their roar and thunder, the wind rushes through the soul as tiny drops of sea water kiss the skin. Despite the darkened skies, the sun shines its way through, lighting up the white-crested seahorses; the sand glistens in-between the passing clouds. Although the storm feels foreboding, the atmosphere is also buzzing, vibrant and full of life; it’s cleansing, but stirring up deep emotions at the same time.

It’s as though there is a clashing of energies and possibilities, with each one rushing into the other, leaving a sense of invigoration, but an air of confusion as well. Dichotomies and contradictions are weaving their way in and out of consciousness, leaving many of us feeling without anchor, and wondering what’s real and what’s not.

In many ways, watching the sea in a storm is a good analogy for where many of us find ourselves now as there is so much chaos all around (and within). Yet, at the same time, we are each beginning to find new ways to centre and re-balance once again. Storms come and go, but the current storm feels almost endless as there barely seems time to take a breath, but just like the night turns into day, the stillness will surface once the storm has passed. It’s that magical few moments after the thunder and when the rain has stopped; that moment when we enter a brief pause, and we sense a rainbow is near-by. It’s moments like this that have the power to shape and define the path ahead.

Yet, life isn’t just about waiting for rainbows, it’s also about embracing the power within. Just like the sea has the power to toss pebbles and pieces of driftwood into the air like twigs, and just like the waves shape and define the land, carving out new features as it goes, it’s time to embrace the power within with grace and serenity in order to live life more consciously once again.

It’s not just the storms of course, it’s a willingness to be more present in life and to be a conscious part of the bigger picture. In many ways, humans often step back from the natural cycles living in concrete jungles with artificial lights and technology to shape the seasons of our lives. Yet, when we pause and re-connect to nature, we can begin to connect to a more wholehearted way of living and being. If we take the time to listen to the birds, to watch a tree changing from season to season, or to notice the vibrant world around us, it can help us to feel more connected and interconnected.

So many of us go through life on autopilot, keeping on keeping on, and being shaped by the waves and storms. It’s therefore easy to see why so many feel lost and disconnected as we lose sight of the magic and majesty of life. Of course, tuning in more to the world won’t pay the bills or put food on the table, and many feel they simply don’t have the time for anything more than keeping on keeping on, but unless we find ways to nourish our souls, how can we find purpose or joy?

Animals, trees, and the natural world move with the seasons, accepting the cycles, constantly adapting, and finding ways to flourish and thrive. Our disconnection with the world around us has left so many of us feeling a deep and gnawing emptiness within. It’s therefore no wonder that so many feel confused, alone and bewildered by life; over time we’ve slowly removed ourselves from the natural flow. Maybe this is also why the earth struggles so much as we’ve lost sight of the pain humans inflict; it’s as though so few now feel the heartbeat of the Earth, we no longer know how to live in harmony with the planet.

We only have to look around to see the chaos we, as a species, have caused, from fires to floods, melting ice caps to extremes of temperatures. Yet, still we try to outwit and outsmart, feeling we know best even when we have lost connection with the soul of the Earth, just as so many have lost connection with their own essence. So, instead of revering and respecting the planet, we lower our heads and keep on keeping on.

All choices have consequences, and it’s time to own our choices now. It’s time to reconnect our hearts and minds in order to feel whole once again We can then connect more consciously with each other and the planet. We can’t continue to live disconnected lives and still flourish; we need to find ways to live more vibrantly and to realise that we all have a part to play in life.

In a world where we can be anything, it’s important that we’re not defined by the things we don’t like or don’t want. So many of us spend our lives trying to get to where we think we need to be rather than stepping more consciously into the here and now. Maybe life should instead be about wholehearted living, kindness, compassion, and respect?

Although so many of us feel juxtaposed to the natural flow of life, living in a 24/7, ‘get what we want when we want it’ world, it’s no wonder we’ve lost connection with the seasons and with life. It’s therefore important for us to start pushing back to re-connect to the earth, to life, to ourselves, and to each other.

It’s time to breathe more deeply into life and to step fully into each and every moment. Intent is a powerful force, and not one to be underestimated. It’s our willingness and desire to create change that builds and grows, reaching out to others, being carried across space and time before being breathed in again somewhere else.

It’s easy to feel overcome with emotion when we look at the world around us, but we need to channel this into love, compassion, and wholehearted living. We each have our parts to play, however small. The time is now…

For now, I wish you all kinds of wonderful.

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

September looks set to be a month where you head towards the culmination of a somewhat profound and intense journey. You have faced more than your fair share of challenges and there have been times where you’ve felt as though you’re trying to navigate your way through a box of dynamite whilst carrying a lit match, watching every single step, and working so hard not to lose your focus. Of course, in many ways, you have loved the adrenaline rush of it all, but the stress has been intense, and this has taken its toll on your heart and soul as your usual fiery effervescence has felt quite flat. Yet, despite the flatness and the almost constant stream of challenges, there is a sense that you have more clarity than ever about what you want and why. It’s as though each challenge has reaffirmed your true priorities and helped you to realise just how much you carry for those around you.

So, although your life has been all-steam ahead and you’ve barely had time to take a breath, let alone take stock of your surroundings, there is a sense of shift as you start to see light shining in on various aspect of your life, lifting the load and illuminating your path ahead. Although the challenges are still around, you seem almost more at peace with them, taking them in your stride and learning from them. You created the turning point ahead of you with your hard work and dedication; you have shifted from where you were to where you are now. It’s time to start embracing your power more and believing in yourself as you think about the path towards your dreams. It’s also time to stop trying to be superhuman and to start loving yourself more as you take care of your true needs and love yourself for all that you are, rather than all that you do…

Taurus

Over the weeks and months ahead, the theme of letting go looks set to take centre stage as you start to think more wholeheartedly about your true priorities in life. You have some long-held dreams and goals, some have been with you for many years, and some are more recent, but it’s important to acknowledge that you are constantly changing, evolving, and growing, and you are not the same person you were last week, let alone last year. So, it would seem wise to take some time to fully review your priorities as there is a sense of a need to let some go now in order to focus on the few that really do matter. Of course, you could argue that they all matter, but you need to acknowledge that some remain simply because they’ve always been on your ‘to do’ list and you haven’t the heart to let them go. However, the more goals you focus on, the more scattered your energy becomes, so the adage ‘less is more’ seems apt for you now.

The winds of change are continuing to gather momentum in your heart and soul, and you have reached the stage where you no longer want to keep on keeping on. Instead, your heart and soul long to live life to the full as you follow your dreams and let your essence flow freely. Stop trying to get your life ‘right’ and instead focus on living your life well, as happiness doesn’t come from trying to be the person you feel you ought to be, it comes from being who you truly are. Yes, you are determined and motivated, but it’s time to stop pulling yourself in so many different directions at the same time and to instead let your intuition lead the way as you find the courage to believe in yourself and to let your vibrant and exuberant essence shine brightly…

Gemini

As the currents of your life continue with their inevitable ebb and flow, there is a sense that you are beginning to turn towards living a more compassionate and balanced life. You have spent a great deal of time trying to get life ‘right’, although it’s not clear where the definition of ‘right’ came from, but you’ve tried, nonetheless. It’s as though you’ve had a sense of what ‘right’ should be even though intuitively this definition has never really fitted with who you are. So, instead of just being yourself, you’ve tried hard to be someone you’re not and someone you don’t even intuitively feel you should be! There are a vast array of reasons for this, but mostly down to a lack of self-belief, and a sense of wanting to be a part of the ‘flock’ of normal. As a result, you have spent a lot of time juggling a vast array of ‘ought’s’. ‘must’s’ and ‘should’s’, as well as trying to juggle the needs, wants and whims of others.

It’s time to take a breath and reconnect to your inner world in order to regain some balance and perspective as you start to seek out ways to focus more wholeheartedly on re-shaping and re-defining your dreams and goals. It’s also time to re-align your heart and soul to find a new way of living and being that lets your essence flow freely, as well as shining the light of compassion into every nook and cranny of your being. Turning to face your inner depths takes courage, strength, and wisdom, and it also involves facing the many masks and façades put in place over the years. Of course, everyone has masks and façades as that’s a way of coping with life, but it’s time for you to yield to a deeper connection within and step beyond those façades in order to connect more consciously to your true self…

Cancer

It seems you have spent a great deal of time trying to discover your true essence; you have always had a sense that there is more to you than you’ve ever acknowledged, but it has been hard to see the bigger picture as you have been so busy with things to do, people to see, places to go and things to achieve. Whilst this could be said for most people, it seems important for you as you’ve tried to be the person you’ve felt you ought to be and haven’t really thought about who it is that actually thinks you ought to be anything other than yourself? In essence, you have a perception of how you should be and that has shaped and defined your life, however, most people around you have no real expectation or desire for you to be anyone other than yourself. It therefore seems that most of your ‘ought’s’ actually come from your own beliefs and expectations, not from those around you, so perhaps it’s time to seek out other ways to shape your path ahead as these ‘ought’s’ don’t enrich your life on any level?

Instead, it’s time to let go of trying so hard and to focus on re-connecting to your intuition to be your guide. Although you have always been aware of your intuition, you have often disengaged with it as you’ve been too busy keeping on keeping on, trying to live up to those ‘ought’s’. So, take your time to breathe deeply within; you might be surprised at the guidance rising up from within you as it holds you at the centre, and as you’ve become so used to being the person you feel you need to be, you’ve forgotten your true essence, and many of your gifts have faded from view. There is a powerful sense of release and renewal in September, bringing you an opportunity to let go of the past and re-shape the present…

Leo

You have spent a great deal of time exploring the many nooks and crannies within your heart and soul, you have tried to piece together the great big jigsaw puzzle of life, seeking out wisdom, understanding and the courage to explore unchartered terrain. There have been times when you’ve struggled to switch off the noise and chatter of life, making it difficult to focus on trying to understand why things are the way they are, but the voice within you is always keen to guide and inspire you; you just need to pause, breathe, and listen. That sounds easy, but the reality can be much harder when life is so busy, and you are pulling yourself in multiple directions trying to juggle the life you’re living with the life you intuitively sense you should be living. As a result, there are times when it’s easier just to switch off and focus on getting from day to day. Yet, deep down, you sense this could never truly bring you the happiness and contentment you seek in life; therefore, having dreams and seeking out wisdom are not inconvenient quests, they are a fundamental part of your essence.

Sometimes the noise of life becomes a distraction only because you are feeling lost and uncertain, as when you are feeling driven and motivated, nothing stands in your way! So, take some time to sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to your true priorities and let your phenomenal intuition and vibrant creativity show you new ways to live consciously and wholeheartedly. It’s also time to start letting go of some of the noise and clutter as you are ready to travel more lightly and channel your energies towards living your best life. Try not to get caught up in the chatter of life, seek out the quiet spaces within as that’s where your true gifts reside…

Virgo

Prioritising yourself and your own needs continues to take centre stage throughout September as you find new ways to look deeper beneath the surface of your life. You have spent a long time ticking along, keeping the wheels on the cogs on the bus of your life nicely oiled and in perfect condition, but there’s a sense that your focus has been on ensuring you keep moving forward rather than on checking the route or noticing the journey. Of course, ticking along lets you go with the flow, but so often it’s not your flow but the flow of those around you. Although you don’t mind this, there is a sense of disconnection from your heart and soul, which means that prioritising yourself and your own needs rarely happens. It’s all well and good keeping the big bus rolling along in perfect condition, but surely life is about more than getting from a to b? Surely, it’s about seeking out new terrain to explore and going ‘off road’ to discover new opportunities and adventures? It’s also about expanding your boundaries and seeking out answers to the many unanswered questions you have in life.

Keeping the bus going is important, but it’s time to find ways to light up your heart and soul with excitement and exuberance as you realise that keeping the bus in pristine condition is not what makes your heart sing; it’s exploring your passions and finding a deep connection to life. It’s therefore time to think about where you are now and to wholeheartedly acknowledge the need to prioritise yourself and your own needs more. So, it’s time to ask yourself why you do what you do and how you can start to make some changes to create more balance in your life. You are on the cusp of creating significant change and what happens next is well and truly in your hands…

Libra

September looks set to be a month for you to take a deep and long life-affirming breath after a period of significant upheaval and unrest. Life has been something of an obstacle course recently and you have faced many challenges and many big decisions. In many ways, the person you are today is completely unrecognisable to the person you were six months ago as you have evolved so quickly; a consequence of the rapid pace of change for you has been an inability to put down anchor or to stand firm on solid ground in order to take stock of where you are and where you’re heading. Whilst you are used to negotiating the fast pace of life, there is a sense that you have grown weary of this and instead long for a quieter chapter in order to rest, reflect and take stock.

Of course, the main issue with slowing down is you will be unable to busy yourself so much and you will be made to turn within and connect with your inner self. This is a world you rarely enter because you have spent so much of your life erring on the side of caution rather than grabbing your gifts with both hands, and it’s been easy for you to turn your back on your gifts and talents rather than embracing them and transforming your life. It’s easy to see why you’ve been cautious as you’ve faced so many challenges, so your energy is channelled towards negotiating those challenges rather than embracing your magnificent essence and stepping into uncharted terrain. Intuitively you have long sensed the imbalance, but it’s only more recently where you’ve felt the need to acknowledge it and start to make changes. Therefore, this opportunity to breathe and reflect will allow you to re-shape the story of your life and find new ways for your magnificence and your gifts to shine brightly…

Scorpio

Living more consciously and embracing your dreams have both been central themes for you over recent weeks and months. As a result, you have started to prioritise your own needs more and realised just how much you give of yourself to others. At the same time, you have turned towards your gifts and slowly started to acknowledge your creative potential, as well as your phenomenal intuition. It’s time now to let go of doubts and uncertainty when it comes to being you; you have been caught up in a cycle of having so much to do, see and be that you have found it hard to go within in order to re-centre and re-balance. Yet, your soul is calling out to you, yearning for an opportunity to be heard; life isn’t about trying to fit your uniqueness into ‘normal’, it’s about finding ways to dance freely, and embracing your gifts wholeheartedly. There can be no denying your complexity, as your intuition sees beyond the kaleidoscope of life, but despite this awareness, you still carry layers of doubt in connection to yourself, your path, and your gifts.

You are a vibrant and passionate soul, and you are ready to seek out more in life. As you continue to find ways to prioritise yourself more, there is a need for you to shine the light of self-compassion within and stop judging yourself so harshly. You are a hard taskmaster, and your inner critic can be fierce at times; this needs to stop as it’s compassion, tenderness and understanding that will be your friends now. It’s time to believe in yourself more and to find ways to celebrate your uniqueness, creativity, and flair. As you journey within, your inner landscape may feel stormy and chaotic, but believe in yourself and know you have the gifts to navigate this terrain with skill, grace, and wisdom. Stop the inner struggle, let go and dance…

Sagittarius

September looks set to be a month for you to re-centre and re-align your heart and soul with your hopes and dreams. There is a sense that you are beginning to include yourself in the equation of your life as you gain a stronger awareness of yourself and your path ahead. As a result, you seem more conscious of your choices, decisions, and thoughts, although there is still something of a struggle when it comes to prioritising your own needs or acknowledging your true essence. In many ways your intuition feels juxtaposed with the flow of your life as you so often push it away in order to keep on keeping on; it’s as though it’s easier to go with the flow as your inner world is quite wild and free which feels unpredictable and unknowable. Whilst this is indeed true, it’s the unpredictability and unknowable nature of your intuition that brings you the insight and perspective that reaches far and beyond the comprehension and understanding of those around you.

Yet, it can be hard to see the world with such depth as your boundaries fade away and you no longer know where you end and where others begin, so it’s easy to see why skimming along the surface and going with the flow appeal. However, whilst this inevitably makes life easier, there is also an emptiness deep within you that comes from this disconnection, as your inner landscape feels hemmed in and disregarded. You are a spiritual and creative soul, and this side of your nature needs to be embraced more if you want to feel more centred and balanced. Yes, your inner landscape can be wild and stormy, but this is the source of your inspiration, passion, and energy; it’s a force to be embraced rather than something to deny. Set yourself free, love your free spirit and celebrate your wisdom…

Capricorn

Deep within the core of your being are the rumblings and stirrings of change. Although change is a constant and inevitable part of life, this particular chapter of change feels a little different as it seems more connected to changes you are consciously choosing to make rather than changes that you happen to be a part of. You have never been particularly keen on change; you accept its role in life, but you often feel frustrated when it comes knocking, frequently resisting the process, even when you know it’s counter-intuitive to do so. Trusting your own instincts and leaning into change have both been areas you have struggled with over the years as you so often doubt your intuition and lack the self-belief to let your heart and soul guide you. As a result, you can find it hard to follow your own path and try to bend and flex to accommodate the needs, wishes and whims of others; you then berate yourself for not standing in your power or listening to your intuition. It’s time to stop tying yourself up in knots and to start showing yourself some compassion and understanding as you find new ways to speak your truth and own your gifts more.

Tap into your inner well of courage and know that you have both the knowledge and gifts to set yourself free. September looks set to be a month that has the potential to be both liberating and invigorating as you find new ways to listen to your inner guidance more. Thriving in life isn’t about carrying around possibilities and ideas, it’s about living those possibilities and ideas to the best of your ability. Stop feeling like you’re not enough or that you need to do more, be more or achieve more as you are so much more than you could ever truly know. Have the courage to believe in yourself and be free…

Aquarius

You have spent a great deal of time contemplating the path you’ve walked and the path you’d like to walk. You have reflected on the choices you’ve made and haven’t made, and you’ve gained a great deal of wisdom in the process. In many ways, time has been your reference point as it’s given your life context and it’s helped to shape your future aspirations. As you know, your awareness reaches far and beyond the known edges of consciousness, and this brings you insight and perspective that is not only unique, but fresh and vibrant as well. Such a perspective brings great wisdom, and it’s certainly a wonderful gift, but there is a chance that you can lose yourself in reflection, keeping your awareness focused on the gap between where you’ve been and where you’d like to be rather than on the present moment. There is a need for you to turn more wholeheartedly towards the present moment now in order to consciously connect to the core of your being; the more you can anchor yourself in the present moment, the more wisdom you will gain when it comes to making some important decisions about your path ahead.

Many of your dreams are changing shape as you have transformed and evolved a great deal over the last couple of years. As a result, the things that once mattered now seem less important. So, be open to new dreams rising up and welcome them with an open heart and an open mind. Try not to overthink the process, and instead allow your phenomenal intuition to take the helm and guide you through the upcoming period of change. The more consciously you can stand in the present moment, the more able you are to make informed choices and decisions related to your true priorities. This chapter of change isn’t a time to dread, it’s an exciting opportunity to re-shape and re-define your life from the inside, out…

Pisces

You have always been a fluid and creative soul, often feeling as though you are being carried by the currents of life and taken to wherever the flow may lead. Of course, intuitively you know that you are not driftwood, you are a creator of the currents, but for some reason you prefer to connect more passively to this gift! It’s hard to explain the reasons for this, but you often see yourself as a passive force with your life being shaped by the currents as it’s somehow easier to be a part of the flow than to be the one creating the flow. It’s not that you are afraid to make decisions or captain the ship, it’s also not the case that you lack the self-belief, it’s more a desire to blend into the flow rather than standing at the helm conducting the currents like your own personal orchestra. Even though you are wise enough to know that whilst you create the currents, you cannot control what happens next, there is still a tendency for you to distance yourself from your creativity and gifts.

Such a perspective can sometimes make for an easier life, but you are kidding yourself if you think you are driftwood! You are a vibrant, passionate, and wise soul, you are also strong and courageous, but these two traits seem a little harder for you to embrace. It’s time to own your true essence and to finally stand in your own power. Of course, being so empathic and intuitive can make it hard to let go and let your gifts flow, but unless you consciously connect to all that you are how can you ever really know yourself? Being a creator of the currents isn’t egotistical, it’s simply an awareness that you are an integral and vibrant part of the bigger picture. It’s time now to honour your gifts and to love yourself for all that you are.

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.
