Aquarius
In the period January 20 – February 18, the concept of a “keystone species” is introduced, describing organisms that heavily influence their environment relative to their abundance. Aquarius, you may be functioning as a keystone in your social ecosystem, shaping others’ lives more than you realize. The message urges you not to let your impact weigh on your conscience or sacrifice yourself for service. Instead, find ways to contribute to the common good while also thriving.
- Recognize your unseen influence
- Balance service with self-care
- Ask how to add value without loss

Pisces
For the dates February 19 – March 20, a dose of real magic is promised, likened to an enchanted potion or a supernatural spell. Ownership of this magic differs from knowing how to use it. The guidance stresses discretion, low-stakes testing, and ensuring no lasting harm. Pisces, keep your charm quiet, test gently, and leave no bruises behind.
- Share only with those who need it
- Test in low-risk situations
- Ensure no lasting damage
Aries
During the Aries period, the 1953 ascent of Mount Everest by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay is referenced. They noted that the descent was as demanding as the climb. Aries, you may have reached a high point of effort or recognition, and soon must manage the descent with care. The lesson is that the journey’s end is as vital as its start.
- Plan for the post-peak phase
- Move deliberately, not hurriedly
- Value the descent as much as the ascent
Taurus
The Taurus section explains the Aurora Borealis, caused by charged solar particles striking atmospheric molecules. This display mirrors Taurus’s quiet strength becoming visible during a solar storm. The message affirms that your protective boundaries are now more apparent and working well.
- Acknowledge visible strengths
- Maintain protective boundaries
- Celebrate the activation of your shield
Gemini
Gemini’s advice cites the ancient Temple of Apollo at Delphi and Aristotle’s call for moderation, but recommends a different principle: “More is better.” You are urged to cultivate lavishness and splendor, stirring joy and fun. The focus is on abundance rather than restraint.
- Embrace abundance and joy
- Cultivate splendor in daily life
- Allow yourself to be lavish
Cancer
Cancer’s guidance uses the image of sea otters holding paws while sleeping to symbolize bonding and safety. The advice is to formulate a strong intention about the people, values, and projects you wish to tether to. If the otter imagery feels too sentimental, reconsider what power truly means for you.
- Identify key bonds and intentions
- Reevaluate symbols of power
- Strengthen chosen connections
Leo
Leo’s message centers on continual letting go, shedding old selves to make room for new growth. The challenge is to keep showing your bright nature even as parts die away. The upcoming weeks are ideal for stepping back from past heroism and embracing the hero you are destined to become.
- Identify old traits to compost
- Envision your evolving hero
- Embrace new expressions of courage
Virgo
Virgo is encouraged to adopt the Haudenosaunee practice of seventh-generation thinking, focusing on long-term impact. While skilled at addressing urgent issues, you may neglect future needs. Consider choices that benefit your future self, such as refining a skill or removing draining obligations.
- Think seven generations ahead
- Prioritize long-term benefits
- Eliminate unnecessary burdens
Libra
Libra is invited to move as if the world loves you, believing unseen allies are rearranging fate to support your growth. The advice is to trust that new wisdom can arise without struggle and to remain confident in your worth.
- Trust in unseen support
- Embrace confidence in growth
- Accept that wisdom can be gentle
Scorpio
Scorpio’s guidance references James Pennebaker’s study on trauma writing, highlighting that healing comes from constructing a narrative, not from the trauma itself. Your strength lies in transforming dark experiences into coherent stories. The coming weeks offer an excellent time to practice this alchemical work.
- Write to create meaning
- Transform pain into narrative
- Use imagination to heal
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is reminded of the Jewish concept of tikkun olam, the repair of the world. The message stresses that you are not required to finish every project, but you must not abandon them entirely. Keep showing up and doing what you can today.
- Commit to ongoing repair
- Avoid abandoning unfinished work
- Continue contributing consistently
Capricorn
Capricorn is told of the Talmudic idea that every blade of grass has an angel encouraging it to grow. You are receiving intensified support from guardian angels. The assignment is to create space to hear this encouragement and to grow without feeling judged.
- Listen to supportive counsel
- Reject harsh internal critics
- Allow yourself to simply grow
