VIRGO
You’re rarely caught off guard, Virgo, but this is one instance in life where you didn’t ask for more. More responsibility, more visibility, more recognition, more reward. You are always the one who raises your hand when it comes time to choose someone for promotion but for whatever reason, the job that is about to be placed on your plate is one that you never expected and never saw yourself stepping into. However you will be cast in the same role. You can do this. In the same way you have woken up at all times in your life of overachieving. As much as you loathe the phrase ‘keep it till you’re done’, you’ll need to tap into your existing stores of confidence the way a sommelier pulls an extra bottle from their wine cellar for an uninvited guest. They may catch you off guard, but never prepare yourself.
PISCES
We tend to focus more on the ‘depth’ when we talk about your emotional energy, Pisces, than the concept of new emotional ‘highs’, but that’s exactly what you’ll experience this month. It’s hard, sometimes, to admit that you’ve never been so happy, so satisfied, so excited to wake up each day and get out of bed to do the tasks in front of you. There’s something reductive about the sentences, as if everything that came before didn’t matter or wasn’t true, but that’s not what you should take away from the experience. Sometimes new levels of happiness can happen because of everything we lived before that moment. Our mistakes, our losses, our lessons learned put us exactly where we need to be to receive that joy, and it’s okay to be overwhelmed by it, not knowing how to deal with it or what to do with it. You are allowed to respond honestly to your own feelings.
GEMINI
You’re about to find yourself in a high energy position, Gemini, but try not to let it get to your head. You’ve spent years watching others use the same power in decisions that affect you personally, with many opinions on the matter. Try, in this new role, to treat others with the respect and dignity you often find yourself wishing for. Be the person you want others to be, instead of blindly following in their footsteps ‘in succession’ as your justification. While it may be fun and exciting to be the big guy with the big stick, remember how much responsibility it is to influence many others with your decisions. You’re ready for the job, but you just need a second to focus your attention. When the celebration is over, you can start rolling up your sleeves and get to work, because there is a lot waiting for your attention.
CANCER
Sometimes, Cancer, you can take your relationships for granted. Your family is your family. Your friends have been there. Your romantic relationship is built to last. But this way of thinking sometimes leads you to a place of dissatisfaction. You stop working, stop harboring these bonds because you tell yourself they are as strong as they can be. Even the strongest chainsaws can be fast. Even a perfectly cut diamond can be polished. Once you get your perspective right, you’ll be amazed at the new way you can thank the people who love you the most. There is no point where we can stop learning or growing with the people who are most important to us. Take that time to find out what’s really going on with them. Dig deep, cut the small talk, let them know how much you care, and you will reap the rewards of your investment.
