Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Influenced by 2 OF WANDS
"We must be willing to give up the life we’ve planned, so we can live the life that’s waiting for us." – Joseph Campbell
It’s all about 2 for you Aries. What can be done better with another? Hence the song, Love plus One! The other message I get for you is in conjunction with the Seahorse. Did you know that Seahorse females impregnate the males and they carry the offspring?! Your message here is to not do it all alone! Can you teach your independent strong-willed self to ask for help, lean on others, and just share the burden and joys of life with those you are living with? These cards may also be a sign for you to open yourself more to partnership soon! A new one may be swooping in so let yourself be swooped! Start opening yourself to how that feels!
Sleep potion: Elephant is your totem this month. Meditate on him for tapping into ancestral lines, wisdom and social bonds.
Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
Influenced by ACE OF SWORDS
"Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort., that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things." – Og Mandino
You are overcoming the struggle this month Taurus. There’s a sense of newness now too. You are in a whole new ballgame now and you can own it. It’s like you just got put in to pitch the World Series after breaking your arm last year. You were made for this. You’ve been practicing and building up. You’ve suffered some strife to get here. The song is called Good Luck Babe. Get out there and show us that strong arm. There is a key to this success now as well – supporting others. Kinda like you pep talking a teammate one inning, gives you an extra boost in your throw immediately as you go in. So go be the supporting friend and watch it come back to you quicker than ever.
Sleep potion: WHITE is your color to cleanse and prepare. The Igbo cultural group in Nigeria used white chalk, nzu, to access the spirit world. Try it!
Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Influenced by 4 OF PENTACLES
"Let nothing dim the light that shines from within." – Maya Angelou
Acceptance and grace. I live my life in acceptance and with grace should be your mantra this month Gemini. Let go of all control. Look at the ways in which you can slow down and simplify to help support you in January. This is the month to “take things as they come”. You are not in charge now. no clinging. No patterns of habitual expectation. As I write that the song is saying – everything’s going my way. Also, Wednesday is the day of the Gemini – meaning you have extra spiritual support on Wednesday, so schedule those bigger meetings and calls on Wednesday so you can have the divine guiding you! Also notice who you are seeing or bumping into on Wednesdays – this is probably not an accident!
Sleep potion: Create a mini circle of crystals as a sacred honoring on your bedside. You may even choose to pull a card to place in the middle as part of your ritual. Let this sacred circle protect the beauty in your dreams for you.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

"Hold a true friend with both hands." – Nigerian Proverb
Cancer you are large and in charge this month. YOU are calling the shots and it feels like there is so much here. First of all, home is important so whatever decisions you need to make around home are getting VERY clear now. Room you are designing, location of home. YOU ARE SO FREAKING CLEAR! Listen to that and make it happen. Next place you are calling the shots – community. Your leadership here is needed. It seems you are working with more people now and they need your guidance and skills to create and impact the community. You are transforming community and do not hold back from what you know needs to be done. This feels huge – like shifting consciousness huge. WE NEED YOU CANCER!
Sleep potion: Mother earth connection is screaming out for you Cancer. Can you make a little stone altar to keep you in connection with her now?
Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)
Influenced by THE EMPEROR
"In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich." – Henry Ward Beecher
You are half human and half magical creature this month Leo. Your unique gifts are surfacing more – urging you to share with the world. You’ve always been one who thinks more with your heart than your mind but trust your unique heart guidance in January – it feels profound. You understand how the world can operate on another level and you are seeing more of this paradise now. It feels like you are going through a bit of a makeover this month. Lean into those urges to do something wild – in your appearance, in your home, or just in the way you are approaching life. Be a REBEL! All of this will only make you SHINE even brighter. Miracles are arriving. In this rebel phase don’t expect everything to come wrapped in a bow, so keep curious as life keeps unfolding.
Sleep potion: Connect with your heart every night. Place your hands on it and send your healing light into your heart chakra imagining the color green with a pink diamond in the middle.
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
Influenced by THE CHARIOT
"Let your boat of life be light. Packing with only what you need, a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two. Enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing." – Jerome K. Jerome
Travel and movement are two key strong messages that come through first. Get up and go when you can Virgo. There seems to be something like a bit of a dark cloud that you are facing now – more like a moving out of the way. A protective block that is no longer needed is being removed. Perhaps an ancestral piece of the puzzle that you have cleared. You are going to feel things lightening up and shifting for the better as this block dissolves. Give yourself rest in between your travels. And feel this noble power filling the spot where your block was. You will see people look at you differently as they feel your presence in strength. Ladybug appearing is your sign that the gifts from the clearing are appearing!
Sleep potion: Music is your magical sleep medicine this month. Make a sleep playlist to shuffle before bed. You can always use the Snoozescopes -
LIBRA (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
Influenced by NINE OF CUPS
"Note to self: None of us are getting out of here alive. So please stop treating yourself like an afterthought. Eat delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be willy. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else." – Nanea Hoffman
The extremes feel real for you this month so a reminder to lean into your sign’s talent of balance. You could choose to fall into the stress of work or overwhelm or you could choose to just fully play and ignore reality all together. Let this be a sign to integrate and balance the play into your work. Squabble up. A surprise trip to see family feels PERFECT energy for this month. Otter medicine is all about new projects that feel playful with people you love. LEAN into those! The full moon is going to bring you some powerful insights this month.
Sleep potion: Put a picture of a heart by your bed. Draw one! Buy one. I recently found these cute succulents in the shape of a heart is what I’m picturing for you!
SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
Influenced by PAGE OF WANDS
"I think everything in life is art. What you do, how you dress, the way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea, how you decorate your home, or party. Your grocery list, the food you make, how your writing looks, and the way you feel, life is art." – Helena Bonham Carter
Keep it light and simple this month Scorpio. You are a bright little firefly sprinkling light on the world. You cannot keep lit because you need to conserve but when you light up – you see. So first and foremost trust in what you need to say no to to conserve your light. You will know. And then - what are you seeing this month? Notice. There are new ideas, observations, projects lighting up for you. Trust there will be such clarity for you in what illuminates you too. You’ll feel what you want to dive deeper into. There is some big movement happening for you this month too. A move? A big trip? Say yes!
Sleep potion: It’s all about the root chakra and grounding for you this sleepy January. Wear red. Ground yourself with a root chakra meditation at bedtime. Stay in your body!

Influenced by TWO OF SWORDS
"Be yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle. Just be." – Thich Nhat Hanh
What does your physical body need most this month? Do that. Massage. Rest. Movement. Healthier nourishment? Maybe you should try going vegetarian for a month? Or start a new kind of workout? You’ll be guided to what your body needs if you ask! Sometimes when I’m starting to get sick I crave garlic and spinach and celery juice. Listen to what your body is telling you now. And give extra care to your body. If that means taking a day to just veg and watch movies – do that. Something about what’s happening to you is increasing your connection to the spirit world so trust in the beauty in what may feel like some suffering. Just keep choosing peace and watch for the wonder. Also use some of your down time to notice your community and friends
Sleep potion: Daydream before you go into your sleep dreams.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
Influenced by 10 OF SWORDS Reversed
"It isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are – not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within – that you can begin to take control." – Oprah Winfrey
Capricorn your homework for December: Make yourself some hot cocoa (or cacao if you can go deeper) and sit down with someone you love and get vulnerable. Pretend like it’s preschool and sharing time. You can keep it simple and light with your chocolate shares. But share. Communicate. This is like an important rite of passage for you, December is. You have been getting smacked with Pluto’s lessons and now you are ready for your potential. So get deep in there and align with your heart and soul. Speak out some truths and get ready to attract more into your life. There is a final piece removed.
Sleep potion: A mantra for you – I honor the sacred gift of flight and liberation. Oh and Mugwart for under your pillow – this supports the passage.
Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Influenced by 5 OF WANDS Reversed
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life." – Henry David Thoreau
December is a time to visualize what you want and where you are headed Aquarius. If you visionboard this would be a moment to do it. You also might be surprised at what ends up there. Your intuition is wanting to help guide you as to what is coming together in your life. So pay attention to the nudges now. And don’t be afraid to have a good cry. Those tears are to help shed what is going to make space for all that’s entering. Truly less action in December – it’s all about tuning in and seeing where it’s going. And go dance if you can.
Sleep potion: Read a good book before bed. I’m into The 5 Personality patterns by Stephen Kessler if you want a lil self help!

Balancing your social side and your alone time is a big piece of January Pisces. You are preparing for some big changes that will affect your long term wealth and family and January is not a time to take a big risk for change.

This is not superficial change – this is DEEP.
Sleep potion: If you want to get wild and crazy, go for some chanting before bed.
