It’s funny, because you have signs that are about living in the present, those that have one foot in the future, and then you have four months of birth that can’t let go of the past.
They long to relive the joy and happiness of days gone by, it can be very unpleasant and they like to remember it as an empty business. They also tend to replay what has happened, analyzing the events of their lives in search of an answer. Although thinking about what happened in the past can be helpful, therapeutic and healing… These signs must tread carefully— as they may be stuck living in the past or trying hard to recreate certain situations. It helps them to be aware of returning their awareness to the present, but also to imagine a bright and beautiful future that is far from anything that has happened before.
July
You have a soft spot for July, and as a naturally expressive sign, it’s no wonder you’re hit with a wave of longing every now and then. Perhaps it is also because you are deeply connected to your roots. Want to know your family story, to heal and break the trauma of your line. You often revisit situations, happy and sad in your life. You have to approach this with understanding. Looking back on your past gives you the perspective of hindsight that gives you a measure of wisdom in each moment, your tendency to settle and be comfortable can make you better. Be careful not to measure your current success, by what you had previously. Although your memories can make your heart happy, they can limit your ability to believe what you deserve more. There should be constant growth in your life, and you should never hope for something as good as *insert past event, partner, etc. here. You should always aim and show better. You just have a tendency to glorify the past. In some ways it’s part of who you are and your story, but it’s still important for you to separate who you are today from anything that’s happened so far. Remember that you are only reinforced by your past, you do not define it. You can respect it, don’t look to it for direction where you are going.
August
Your inner child is alive. This often makes you irrational, wanting to go back to simpler times, when life was carefree and you had time to let creativity hurt. You can still tap into that wonder, especially in your daily life, but you may find yourself reminiscing about your childhood, replaying and reminiscing, or reading old photo albums (of which you have very few.) With such a big heart, you love to have fun and remember happy memories shared with friends and family alike over the years. Every once in a while, you probably wish you could go back again, if the feeling ends. For this reason, you may try to recreate certain moments, such as holiday traditions or family photos. However, this never turns out the way you plan and doesn’t live up to the original memory, which can lead to disappointment in the end. Back then the world seemed big and full of possibilities. The good news is that you can take this basic belief rooted in your inner child, and apply it to your current situations as an adult. Then you will be a truly irresistible force. Always nurture your inner child, but don’t forget that you have real responsibilities. Feel the memories as they come, remember them fondly but don’t dwell too long in the past. Your bright enthusiasm and optimism are best directed at the dream you want to manifest, not replaying past days.
October
As an advocate for keeping the culture alive, are you really surprised to make this list? You also care deeply about your relationships. Even if someone is no longer in your life, you love them from afar. You always cherish the memories you made and what you brought into your life when you needed it. There is something poetic about the way you look at the past, but he was known to like things here and there. This is justified, because for you these were magical moments and/or important lessons your heart needed to learn. Over time you can even look at your breakup through rose colored glasses. It may be very difficult for you to let go, as your mind tends to drift and explore. You can see the good in what you’ve learned and the reason why you were brought together or in a certain place, but you have to remember that this can quickly turn into a game of “must haves.” What’s done is done, you can’t go back and change, just take the lessons and move forward. Your logical side is always looking for the answer, the why behind each experience. This gives you wisdom and grace as you grow. If you find a reason then so be it. Don’t waste your positive and creative vision given by Venus on rewriting the past. Send your thought into the future at some point for best results—but always bring your awareness back to the present. This is where you make the life of your dreams come true.
November
It’s okay November, you have to admit that it’s in your nature to hold on. You may forgive but don’t forget the type. This desire to hold on to what has happened in your life makes you irrational. Yes, you get your strength and wisdom from what you’ve been through—but you also hold on to those happy, fun memories. There’s a part of you that wishes you could experience them over and over again. Like August, you may yearn for a lighter and simpler time, when the crushing weight of being a working adult in society doesn’t weigh you down. When chanted, the feelings of a remembered past situation or relationship may come up strongly, almost as if you are remembering it again. This can be especially true in situations where you have been wronged or injured. For this reason, you can hold a grudge for a very long time. Suddenly, you’re ready to seek revenge on that employer who fired you for no reason, or your ex who cheated on you. It’s not okay to harbor this kind of emotion, even if it only comes out when you’re reminded. Clarify any feelings from the past that are bothering you when they arise, work on forgiveness, not for them but for yourself. The art of letting go is difficult but important. That’s why it’s so important for your birth month to take a break and withdraw from work and routine every now and then. You feel so much that your body, mind and spirit need time to refresh and cleanse. If you ever find yourself frustrated in the past, take it as a sign of relaxation.
