Take a moment to think about a time in your life when you thought, 'this is it! I'm never going to emerge from this storm.' What happened after? Did you or did you not make a stronger comeback? And what does this tell you about your own regenerative powers? We're starting the week with a full moon in Scorpio. Yes, Scorpio — which is ruled by Pluto — and highlights the theme of death, rebirth and transformation (amongst other things). Think about what you're facing right now as your own personal and collective phoenix rising moment! An opportunity to break free from the old paradigms and recreate your reality. Just a reminder: the breakthrough moment is closer than you think!
So, what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let's find out! Remember, these are guidance-based horoscopes that can be read according to your Sun, Moon or Rising Signs (Tropical or Sidereal). Take what resonates and let go of the rest! PS: Have a magical week ahead!
Aries
We want to let you in on a secret: the full moon in Scorpio is about to make your life both sweeter and spicier — in equal measures. We're talking about the gifts of love and romance, baby! So give yourself the permission to lead with your heart, to express your innermost thoughts, to dance until the wee hours and to transcend the barriers of time and space with your special someone. Oh, and one more thing. If you've been overwhelmed lately, take a deep breath, prioritise grounding rituals and limit screen time. Bottom line: find a way to stay updated with current affairs without descending into the rabbit hole of despair.
Taurus
It's official, Taurus! The full moon in Scorpio is activating the portal of self-love in your world. Instead of looking for external validation, you're perfecting the art of radical self-acceptance. You're beginning to look at the so-called mistakes as learning lessons that enabled you to step into the most radiant version of yourself. And for that magnetic field of yours? It's bringing into your experience fellow unicorns who match your freak and your frequency, beautiful! Now, let's talk about your career, because there's something *major* just around the corner. We're talking about an opportunity that will enable you to level up in more ways than you can imagine and in more ways than you can count. PS: if and when the intrusive thoughts get the better of you, remind yourself that you came here to be a part of the change and that you have been preparing for this role for many years now.
Gemini
But, what does 'safety' mean to you, Gemini? How do you want to feel held and supported in your relationships? Just a reminder: this is *not* the time to beat around the bush or make excuses for the other person. It's time to hold space for an open and honest conversation with your beloved, especially if you have been walking on eggshells around them. When it comes to professional pursuits, the cards are indicating a major breakthrough moment — the kind that will put you on the map for all the right reasons. So, take that cloak of invisibility off and step into the limelight. Remember, you came here to be a part of the change, beautiful!
Cancer
We see you. We hear you. You've been a pillar of strength for those around you, Cancer, but you haven't given yourself a moment to 'be.' To feel all that you've been yearning to feel in order to cross the threshold with grace and ease. So, just for a moment, bring the focus back to yourself. Give yourself the love and care you have so generously been sharing with other people. Just a reminder: you can't pour from an empty cup, moon child. When it comes to professional matters, you're being advised to pay attention to the signs. If you feel like somebody is trying to salt your game or sabotage you in some way, you're probably right. A good way to navigate the week ahead: remembering the mantra 'a stitch in time..'
Leo
Change seldom manifests in the way we imagine, in the way we envision. It manifests in a way that supports our highest and greatest good. So, trust the rhythm and flow. Trust where you're being guided to go. Something tells us, the full moon in Scorpio is supporting the manifestation of your deepest desires! What's more, the cards are also indicating a time of financial stability — a time in your life when both your needs and wants will be taken care of. Play your cards right, Leo. This chapter of your life is about creating a solid reserve for the future.
Virgo
It's official, Virgo! You're stepping into your prosperity era — and you're doing it with such poise, it's impossible not to notice! Consider this soulscope as an affirmation that everything you've been manifesting *and* working towards is about to materialise in your reality. Your superpower? Practicality combined with single-minded focus. Now let's talk about matters of the heart. The full moon in Scorpio is encouraging you to see the truth about a certain person or situation. Just a reminder: you deserve to be with somebody who makes you feel safe, not somebody who constantly has you questioning your sense of self.
Libra
Here's the thing, Libra: you've got to be willing to put yourself out there, over and over again, no matter how many times you've had your heart broken. *This* is the secret. This is the secret to manifesting the love you so deeply desire. When you free yourself from the rules, you give yourself the permission to tap into your curious nature and meet people where they are (which, let's admit, is one of your superpowers!) What you don't want to do: complain about the past or repeat the tale of what went wrong. The stories we tell ourselves shape our reality. Honour the invitation to write a new one.
This just in, Libra: the universe wants you to live your best, most abundant life. Move into a state of allowance as you prepare to receive the sweet fruits of your labour. You deserve every bit of the blessings that are being poured into your chalice. At the same time, take a moment to reassess your goals. Where do you want to be 5 years from now and what is the action you're taking today that's enabling you to move closer to the desired destination? The full moon in Scorpio is encouraging you to flex your manifestation muscles and get your plan of action in order. There's a lot you're meant to co-create in this life, and you're just getting started!
Scorpio
It's time to get witchy, Scorpio! The full moon in your sign this week is reminding you of your own manifestation abilities. So, here a ways to make magic in collaboration with the mysterious forces: #1 Moonbathe, moonbathe, moonbathe. This ancient practice will enable you to soak in the lunar rays and strengthen your connection with the Divine Feminine. #2 Write your intentions (both for yourself and the collective!) on a piece of paper and read them out to Mama Moon. #3 Go for a walk in the wilderness or swim in a natural body of water. #4 Indulge in a ritualistic bath complete with crystals and candles. #3 Brew yourself a cup of tea or a potion that rejuvenates your body temple. #4 Pull a tarot card to receive a divine message. #5 Create an altar honouring the angels and deities that are supporting you from the beyond. #6. Light incense or burn sage as a way to banish the negativity from your space. #7 Write a love letter to yourself, admiring everything from your beauty, your strengths *and* your flaws.
Sagittarius
What do you do when things go awry? Do you blame the external world for the inner turbulence or take charge of the given situation? Just a reminder, Sagittarius: *you* are creating your destiny with your thoughts, words and actions. Honour the invitation to reclaim the reins and rewrite the story. If your mental health has been a cause of concern, this is your sign to revisit therapy, sign up for a healing session or attend a spiritual retreat. Making time for the rituals and practices that enable you to stay centred through the stormiest of storms—also recommended at this time.
Capricorn
Truth bomb, Capricorn: we repeat the same mistakes over and over again and then blame fate for our misfortunes. But what if we decided to take responsibility for our actions? What if we decided to step away from the role of 'the victim' and recognise ourselves as the creator of our reality? Remember, you hold the power within you to make a monumental change. So, flip the script. Break the habit. Choose a different reality. Walk the path less trodden — not the one you've been conditioned to believe you need to tread. Most importantly, keep your ego aside and let love guide your actions.
Aquarius
What are your soul gifts, Aquarius? What did you come here to do and in what ways are you being called to serve humanity in the midst of these trying times? Now is *not* the time to hide under that cloak of invisibility. Now is *not* the time to doubt your power, your magic, your madness and your genius. It's time to lead by example — to let courage guide your decisions. Remember, you have been preparing for this moment for lifetimes. Some of you may even be thinking about monetising something you've been shrugging off as merely a hobby. Remember, 'the how' and 'the why' is not for you to worry about. Trust your inner calling.
Pisces
But you're always being guided. You're always being guided by your higher wisdom. Your task right now is to transcend the limitations of your rational mind and pay attention to what is being revealed to you, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships. Chances are, it's your turn to be the bigger person, to practise active listening and to let bygones be bygones. Now let's talk about the full moon for a moment, for it's bringing some serious ka-ching, baby! Needless to say, you may find yourself in the mood to upgrade your lifestyle—invest in a new set of wheels, maybe. Give yourself the permission to indulge in the luxe life, whilst putting a few coins away for the future.
