It’s Choose Day 😅

A reminder that our lives are shaped and created by the choices we make 🙌

The most powerful changes happen when we take responsibility for those choices 😅

Absolutely things happen in life that feel totally out of our control however we can choose how we respond, or react or ignore 🧐

Each offers an alternate outcome 🙃

Real growth is painful 😳

The Astrology is inviting us to be main characters in our own life story 😬

Will you be Villain, Victim, Victor or a nameless no one on the sidelines? 🤔

Bringing your awareness to your teeny, tiny everyday choices is the biggest life hack to initiate monumental change 😅

Question everything 🤓

What are you doing? 🤔

Why are you doing it? 🤔

Is it helpful or harmful? 🤔

What else could you choose? 🤔

Taking responsibility and being accountable are the best friends that seem like bullies 😅

To shift cycles requires a conscious and consistent strategy that takes a bit of effort 💪🏻

Your future Self is cheering you on 🥳

Who you were becomes less relevant when you face future forward 😊

Take the wisdom, heal the wounds 🥰

Old beginnings, new endings 🙌

You choose 😬

Today kicks off Aquarius Season! While Capricorn earth energy had us focused on getting our financial affairs in order and setting our long terms goals, Aquarius swopes in and provides us with a breath of fresh rejuvenating air. We loosen up a bit and shift toward the more stimulating, the more unusual and the more free-flow thinking.

We tend to be a bit more rebellious under this influence and will want to stick out from the crowd. If you want it, but it's not what everyone else is doing, Aquarius says don't deny yourself of that pleasure. Just do it!

At its core, Aquarius season is about freeing ourselves from the traditional. It's about removing the constraints and limitations we and society place on ourselves. This is a time to stand firm in unique truth, spread wings and fly.

Ruled by Uranus, the planet of change, being fixed quality and being an air sign, Aquarius allows us to be more independent, intellectual, and very persistent. It's an excellent time to get reacquainted with your beliefs and values and stand by them. It's also a wonderful time to go out of our way to help others.

Aquarius' symbol, the Water Bearer pours water -- this water represents the wisdom of the universe. Reminding us that ancient knowledge and truth is all around us and also within us.

Wishing you a great season ♒
Happy Birthday, Aquarius ✨💙✨

We've shifted into Aquarius season which encourages blue sky thinking 😅

Another big week of Astrological shenanigans so be prepared for all manner of curved balls, bombshells and next level crazy 🤪

As for the Blue Monday programme, you know where you can stick it 😆

Paint your day in the palette of your choosing 🌈

The paintbrush is yours, a bit like the pen 🖊

Go outside the lines and beyond the invisible boxes 📦

The sky's the limit...or is it 😅

Today has a very heavy and sobering feel about it 😬

This intensity may increase until the reprieve of the New Moon around 8pm tonight, here in U.K. 😓

There is a sense of tightness and constriction, if you can imagine a bud before blooming or a seed before cracking and germinating 🌱

It’s part of the process, a dark initiation 🖤

When the trees shift from the dormant phase after the shedding, the roots are the most import part 😬

These days are a reminder to tend to your roots and the foundations 😅

Bringing awareness to anything that requires pruning or some extra attention where neglect is showing 👀

Audit all aspects of your life with the cool detached air of a Capricorn ♑️

Start to calculate your life arithmetic and see what you can add, subtract, multiply or divide for the optimal calibration 🤓

All this Capricorn energy is going to kick ass one way or another 😬

You either do the kicking or prepared to be kicked 😅

Speed doesn’t matter, progress does 🙌

If all we have is time and choices, the clock is ticking 😅

We can’t wait for our lives to be better, we have to take the responsibility of making them better 😅

However that feels for you 😊

It’s time to dust ourselves off and knuckle down 💪🏻

From bud to bloom is a process that can’t be rushed 🌹

And nothing in nature blooms all the time, that’s how you can tell it’s fake 😅

No mud, no lotus 🪷

When feeling deep in the s**t of life, keep growing 😬

We are deepening into the Dark Moon vibes 🌚

This can bring forward all manor of hidden aspects within you and around you 😬

The New Moon on Sunday evening heralds in a wrecking ball of Capricorn astrological placements 😅

So the current vibes can feel like the tide going out before a tsunami hits 🌊

A huge sucking in of air 😳

Buck that trend and take the opportunity to exhale 😊

Empty your inner space to free up outer space 🙃

The wisdom to step back before any move forward, or whichever preferred direction 😅

Be prepared for what comes however refrain from engaging 😅

There are riptides creating turbulence through the Collective field 👀

Now is not the time to go surfing 🏄‍♀️

This isn’t something to be fearful of 🙌

Simply a reminder to check in to avoid getting wiped out 😅

Shout out to the Misfits 🙌

Alien abduction is maybe getting to top of my current life goals 😅

Clown World is like a Hell realm 😳

Or maybe that’s just me 🤪

The skeletons of our Ancestors are rattling 😬

We can feel it in our bones 🦴

The imprints of injustices and hidden hurts stripped bare by the influence of Chiron 😅

What happened in the past cannot be changed 😓

What happens in the future most definitely can 😅

These testing times are designed to defeat however the twist in that tale 🙃

It doesn’t matter how many times we fall, what matters is that we can choose to rise 🔥

The song coming forward today is from the Manic Street Preachers : If you tolerate this then your children will be next 👀

Gather up that strength and courage that our Ancestors are urging us on 🥰

Divided we stand 😳

Together we rise 💪🏻

All for one and one for all 🙌
