Cancer & Cancer Rising
Cancer, as the sun moves into your sign and begins summer, embrace your inner radiance. To be authentically you is a gift not only to yourself but to those around you. When you’re truly yourself you give others the permission to be themselves too. Seek spaces and moments where you feel able to express yourself, and spend more time there during this season.
Leo & Leo Rising
Leo, pay attention to the wisdom that appears to you in your dreams. Keep a dream journal, and explore these shadowy depths to understand better how mystery and magic are at play in your life. Though you might feel tempted to shine a light on these spaces, instead feel how it might be to embrace the darkness and what you can learn through this practice instead.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Virgo, change can be a complicated thing. If you’ve been feeling any conflicts between who you are and where you’re headed and how you’re relating to those you’re connected with right now, it’s okay. Surrender to the process, and spend some time thinking about your next phase of life. What do the most supportive friendships feel like when you close your eyes and picture those in your support system? Follow and deepen the connection with those people who can understand and celebrate a changing you.
Libra & Libra Rising
Libra, your soul has been speaking to you. Have you been listening? During this season, work with the concept of illumination. When you feel a gentle glow in your heart, a spark of inspiration, or feel like you’ve found something that makes you turn toward the sun like the sunflower does, than your soul is being lit up, During Cancer season, explore these bright moments, and as you cultivate a relationship with them, see how they become more prominent in your life as lanterns.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Scorpio, there’s something alchemical transforming in your life right now regarding education, travel, and publishing.

Consider what aspect of your life you long to be infused with some extra mysticism, bring your attention, and set your intentions there.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Aquarius, this season it’s time to lean on your rituals. You might consider a daily tarot pull, a journaling practice, or working with the moon on a daily basis.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
Pisces, what do you long to create in your life? Whether it’s a creative project, a relationship you’d like to call in, or something else entirely, romance and creativity are on your side right now. This is a time for dreaming—in this season, wish, dream, plot, and plan. When you return to this idea again and again, see how this attention and intention unfurl in your life.
Aries & Aries Rising
