I’m looking at this new experiment of writing horoscopes about community building as a fun writing prompt. Using the scaffolding of the sky and the mythic to try and work through what it means to all of us to be in community, what themes might come up as the planets transit etc. The challenge is that horoscopes are written individually often, so how can an individual message speak to community? follow along as I try and figure that out.
Aquarius Season
is the season of the humanitarian, and the visionary. It’s about implementing your skills to build better systems for everyone. Aquarius believes in everyone’s
deserving-ness of freedom. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the dead of winter, time to reflect and re-imagine in your own private self, but not yet the time to act.
Horoscopes
Aquarius Sun & Rising:
Happy birthday you freaky aliens. You might find pleasure in the abstract and subconscious this season. There’s a desire to bring what is unsaid and underneath into the public eye. Changes & adjustments to your home life might come from communicating things that have been unspoken. There is a sense that community support could happen, and new visions of future community can be put into place now if you address your own coping mechanisms & set up avenues to communicate the collectives shameful feelings as well as your own.
Pisces Sun & Rising:
Pisces sweet Pisces, you’ve been working on honing your gifts and now you have the visionary ability to imagine all the ways you can be useful. I would start looking in your day to day rituals, to find small things that can, through repetition, become bigger and change the world around you. There are dark sides to empires as you’re well aware. As the planets bring you through these underworlds this season, the actions, communications, and small antidotes to all-that-keeps-us-separate will sift through. Look for little tears in the cruel facades this season and show them to all your friends.
Aries Sun & Rising
My favorite Ram, Who do you want to be this season? What projects are you excited to start on? Look for your place in the world this season. There will be blocks, resources will move in unreliable ways, but despite everything, when you are doing your work in the world something about it will feel inevitable. What haunts you about who you wish to be? What are you scared of? My fearless ram, your plans for the next few months will go more smoothly if you can be brave enough to face becoming who you always wanted to be.
Taurus Sun & Rising
Cool Taurus, What are you learning this month? This month you are a connector, choosing new topics of conversation, gathering groups together to discuss what lights a fire in each of us and why we’re all here. What ever captures your mind and puts you in touch with people this season will expand and change how you see yourself. This is an opportunity to hear new perspectives, and find new purpose for yourself. This is a season to find new depth and new meaning. Ask each other: ‘ what is it that stops us from supporting one another? and what is it that brings up together?’ Though this season may have you questioning things you thought long settled, the stability of who you find yourself to be on the other side will be that much more pleasurable.
Gemini Sun & Rising
Inquisitive Gemini, this season you travel through the darkness. Your torch illuminating only small sections of the collective as you scramble to understand and make out shapes, you must learn what you owe and what you deserve. You love a good mystery so stay curious this season, laugh in the face of the unknown & take the time to discover what you need in times of uncertainty. What soothes you? Who do you laugh with? What loved ones think in ways that never cease to entertain? Remember your assets sweet Gemini and give where you can, take where it feels good, and laugh at the unseemly players who hide in the darkness.
Cancer Sun & Rising
Oh my Cancer, which of your relationships are leading you towards embodying humanitarian ways of living this season? You have a nose for knowing where you will be cared for, use that instinct to mobilize your friends. Your relationships are your greatest assets this season. Who will help you get unblocked? Who can sit with you and your darkest thoughts? Who reminds you of the divinity of your caring heart? This is the season to look for partnerships that will help you become who you imagined you could be, if you were part of a community that could hold it all together.
Leo Sun & Rising
Golden Leo, this season is best served in devotion. Be in service to your body, your health, your living space, your passions, who you are. This is not the time for grand gestures, but for the small repetitions and attentions that radiate outwards in your soft glow. This is a time to remember your intimate self and recommit to what will best support you. You may find that this step by step approach yields changes in your career or in your work in the world. The resonance what you have to offer provides will touch your community in softer ways than you’re used to Leo, and that’s exactly what’s needed now.
Virgo Sun & Rising
Devoted Virgo, those places that feel safe, and stable, and devotional are vital because this season you are tasked with expressing yourself. Write, make art, tell people what you learned, and what you feel. Share your unique way that you take care of all you love with anyone who wants to listen. It might not be the most comfortable for some of you to start these conversations or ask for the spotlight, but what you are brave enough to express this season will bring you visions of futures to be. What you express will join us together and connect us with our values. But be careful to tend to your health this season, and make sure what you share is true to who you are, because there could be a tendency to obscure yourself. In places where you are truly loved and celebrated, we’re all relying on you this season to let us in on your revelations!
Libra Sun & Rising
Oh my Libra, tend to your home this season. What nourishes you and your loved ones? What do you all need to feel settled? If you can turn to your hearth and home this season, you will discover what you need in your life to strike a better balance. You will find that things you have been neglecting might have a lot to offer and what you’ve been feeding might not be feeding you. If you have anguish, if you’re relying on mal-adaptive coping patterns find a way to express it, find a way to name what you’re experiencing. Facing those truths will help you fortify your home life this season. There is clarity available this season if you’re able to face the naked truth.
Scorpio Sun & Rising
Discerning Scorpio, How are you feeling about your life? Do your days leave you worn out, tired, depleted? or are they nourishing, fulfilling, interesting? This season is for finding your own flow: expanding time where it needs to be expanded to make room for whats really important, and consolidating the little things that get in your way. It’s a good season to reflect on how your life choices are effecting you in the day to day and move towards things that will bring you the peace of knowing you are right with yourself. This type of discernment is a new type of honesty. It will protect what’s most important to you. It will remind you daily who the fuck you are. It can also bring changes and clarity to which relationships don’t have your best interest at heart and will allow those in your life who do, to show up better to your relationships.
Sagittarius Sun & Rising
Divinely silly Sag, What are you doing with your social clout? What is your money and your time and your resources all building towards? I think it would be good to get clear on that this month because this is an excellent time for you to build practical devotions to what you believe in. This is the time to recognize the material and social resources that are at your fingertips and start cashing in towards something visionary, resource building, and true. It’s not a season for getting loud but for building in the day to day systems so your life becomes what you value and you don’t even have to think about it too much. This is the time to tap into the divine generosity of Sagittarius & its devotion to the sunny idealistic potential outcome of sharing our wealth. But mind you that generosity is only truly generous when you give what you truly have to offer. Giving beyond your capacity could affect your health this month.
Capricorn Sun & Rising
My Cunning Capricorn, as your season draws to a close, who have you decided to be for this next solar year? There is an opportunity this month to reflect and reassess, to get to the bottom of the life you have built for yourself and to play with it. It’s a good time to make jokes at your own expense, indulge in your youthful urges to create fantasy worlds, and let that play reorganize something inside you. There is something compelling about trying to communicate who you are this month: to yourself, to your loved ones, to the world. It doesn’t have to be serious all the time. After all the work that you’ve been doing, it’s time to find a way to celebrate yourself.
