Ask for what you want.
Humans are strange creatures. We communicate with subtle hints, body language, subtle digs, and sometimes, with silence. Your life chapter teaches you how to let go of those childhood ways and effectively communicate what you want to others. You’re done walking on eggshells or waiting for your prince or princess handsome. If you think someone is angry with you, you will ask them. If you are offended by something someone said, you will tell them. If you want to know if someone reciprocates your feelings, you will ask them. And you’ll see how easy, how convenient, how free it can be to just cut from the chase. Life will not lose any of its beauty or nuance if you start saying it as it is.
What brings you true happiness.
We know you’re the king of retail therapy, Taurus, but this chapter of life is about separating temporary highs from things that bring you deep and lasting satisfaction. Identifying what excites you just because it’s new, and what brings you closer to the outward expression of your inner self. It’s the difference between buying another pair of sweatpants versus that leather bag that makes you feel like a world traveler. That five dollar cup of coffee compared to the book of French poetry he reads a page every morning. Once you begin to see the difference between the two, you can begin to allocate more time and resources to things that will have lasting results, instead of chasing a fleeting feeling.
How can you say no.
It’s very difficult Gemini, for you to say no to something without sounding like a valid excuse. You spend hours trying to cancel plans because you feel compelled to lie, but ethically you can’t be dishonest. Your life chapter teaches you that you can effectively communicate with your boundaries. If you are very busy, you don’t need to take on another responsibility or obligation. If someone asks you out on a date, you can politely decline. You can travel the world without needing to please everyone who crosses your path; their life will not be wasted. And yours will be better because of it.
It’s not too good to be true.
Whatever you ask, Cancer, whatever it is that makes you cut yourself off, this chapter of life is here to teach you that it’s worth it. You deserve to be happy, to be loved, to be appreciated, to be recognized, to be seen. You deserve to wake up in the morning and look forward to your day. You deserve to smile when you look in the mirror. You deserve to be fully present and enjoy your life without feeling guilty or needing to look over your shoulder. Life comes with its disappointments, but this, dear Cancer, is not one of them. Bask in the sun and soak up every last ray. Being happy is not dangerous.
Reluctance is a reason in itself.
Sometimes it feels like you need a better reason, Leo. Like your feeling isn’t enough. You can’t put your finger on why you don’t like a person, place, or opportunity, but this chapter of life is meant to show you that that’s reason enough. If you don’t like it, if it doesn’t make you feel good, you don’t have to do it, choose it, be it, or put up with it. You can just walk away from what doesn’t help you, and you don’t need to go looking for any other reason to justify your gut. Just listen to it, trust it, and learn to hear it when it still tells the truth and doesn’t sound the alarm.
No answer is sometimes the best answer.
You know how to speak for yourself Virgo. Don’t clap again, you can look the person in the eye and tell them exactly what you are doing and why it is wrong. But sometimes, people are not worth the effort expended. Your time and energy can be spent on healthy, productive things. Those who will continue to hurt you, and do not want to change, it is better to be left alone and go away. The space will help you heal more than just going out and being unproductive. There comes a time when you have to trust your gut that you are right without needing to show it to someone else. If they don’t want to open their eyes and see the truth, it’s not your problem, never has been, and never will be.
Sometimes you just need to lie down and rest.
It is difficult, Libra, to find yourself in a situation where there is no easy answer to be found. When you feel like you have no control over the situation, and you are emotionally distressed without help. This chapter of life is here to teach you how to beat a song. Trying not to force yourself to feel a certain way, and instead sleep in it. Realizing that sometimes a good night’s rest serves as a reset button for our perspective, well-being, or emotional state. While it may not fix all of our problems, rest can put us in the right position to deal with the exact same problems, and sometimes that’s enough. Sometimes that’s all we need.
It’s okay to treat yourself.
You are a people pleaser, Scorpio. Always focus on others. You are always concerned about being independent, not bothering or hurting those around you. You save for your loved ones or provide for you in a critical time, but this chapter of life is here to teach you enjoy it the fruits of your own labor. You can pay for that thing you’ve been dreaming of, or that trip, or that experience. The purpose of your life is not to work so that you can provide for others, but also for yourself. You can’t take it with you when you die, so learn to smell the flowers, and sometimes buy them yourself. Time off is not a sin, so stop being ashamed of it as it is.
Your love is important.
You’ve been avoiding relationships, Sagittarius, because you feel that you’re somehow not worthy or good enough for someone to commit to. You created a false competition in your mind and prematurely declared yourself a loser before you even tried to make things work. You think that the person you want should be someone different, you should search someone who is different from who you are. This chapter of life is meant for you to learn that you know the kind of love that people dream about. You are so concerned with how you measure up to people’s exes and track records, that you don’t allow yourself the space to create a present and a future that deserves attention and appreciation.
Your situation is not always reflected in your effort.
There are parts of our lives there ask and you will receive, try and you will succeed they are principles you should live by, and others where they don’t exist. The carnival games of life where you can try and try and not realize that the cards are already stacked against you. There are goals you won’t meet because they’re inherently unattainable, people you won’t impress because they’ve already made up their minds about you, and that’s okay. This chapter is about learning to differentiate between what you can do and what you can control and remember that you are the person best equipped to evaluate your performance.
Powerful words.
Purpose is very important to you, Aquarius. No matter what a person says, their inner motivation is more important than their delivery. But the words are different. Words carry weight and influence results. How you describe something can determine how someone reacts to it. The way you frame the conversation can make someone comfortable or uncomfortable with the topic, or control whether they see each other. This chapter of your life is meant to teach you that the first draft is not always the best draft. Some things need time and refinement before they are ready to be shown to the public or spoken out loud. What you say or write today can be remembered tomorrow, months, or years from now. So choose.
How you feel is not always the same as how things are.
Some days you feel like giving up, Pisces, but rarely are the days when it’s time to give up. Some days you may feel sad, you forget all the times you were happy, but that doesn’t mean you were never happy. Some days you will see or remember the worst in people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the best qualities. This chapter in your life is meant for you to listen to your feelings, but not completely rely on them. It’s normal to feel bad when we’ve done something we regret, but that doesn’t mean we’re terrible people. A bad person will not feel remorse. Allow time to put some distance between yourself and that feeling, and see how it changes your perspective.
