Perhaps one of the most spiritual things we can do is to embrace our humanity. No matter what your spiritual beliefs are, attempting to stay connected to their lofty field, while expressing them through your physical being, is often a challenge. Most of us know how falling in love with someone or something touches our deepest capacity to harness the purity of our divinity, but what happens to that expansiveness when we are brushing our teeth in the morning next to our beloved partner who clearly prefers not to have human contact for the first hour of her day? How about when we fall into the bliss of discovering a new hobby, and then it gets frustrating and difficult as we get deeper into learning the required techniques? Giving ourselves 100% to someone or something requires effort, insight into our limitations, and acceptance that we will suffer. Spiritual maturity depends on our checking deeply into life, rather than transcending it.

ARIES (March 21–April 19) You may find yourself on fire, combusting with inspiration and forward thinking intentions. Your Cosmic challenge is to morph reality-based practical steps into these grand visions. Own your escapist tendencies, accept your limits, and be ready to receive unimagined resources from within your own hidden potential.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) You are ushering yourself through the previously unknown aspects of your own darkness. Ultimate illumination comes from your courage to peer honestly into your hidden corners without judgment. Allow your curiosity to be open, accepting the secrets scrolls that ultimately unlock your chains.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) Your relationships continue to stretch you into new horizons. Any outdated stories that you hold yourself or your partner in will become a pit doom if you don’t make concrete efforts to apply your highest vision of the relationship’s future. Your strong talk will fall into an endless echo unless you back it up with action. Let it be your motto to walk your talk, and then walk a little bit more.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Inspiration strikes you this month as you learn to skillfully incorporate your spiritual values into the grain of your everyday life. Learning to make the spiritual and the physical one fabric is no easy task, but you are ready, and in need of bonding these seemingly separate worlds.

LEO (July 23–August 22) You could easily and happily overdo the holiday fun of overeating, over drinking, and overindulgence of anything you find pleasurable. Sounds like a party not to be missed! However, it will behoove you to remember the painful consequences incurred when you are seduced by one side of the coin, and blind to the other.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Time to move. Maybe you will literally move, or maybe your move will be more symbolic. Either way, your growth is contingent upon the adventure of moving your innermost self toward expansive horizons. Packing essentials that keep you grounded is a crucial step that must not be forgotten, as it will add value and insight later in your journey.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) You may find yourself over-stimulated with ideas rendering you very chatty and full of expression. Bend the ears of those who will listen, but remember that you do not need them to agree with you in order for what you are preaching to have true value. Your truth will shine through.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) Tease apart the chaff from the wheat as you recalibrate your moral compass. Many inspiring visions will open your path, moving you toward abundance. Remember that a cornucopia is small and concentrated on one end, and pouring forth nourishment on the other end, teaching you to start small with that which is near and dear to you so that you may access unimagined wealth.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) The current Cosmic field is tipped in your native direction of big! Lock your grand ideas into a solid plan, and then follow the order without distractions from the slew of other possibilities. Every true and real potential manifestation occurs in the moment you fully commitment to a solid step.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Making your spiritual path a priority may challenge your innate wiring around work ethics and worldly achievements. Keep in mind that every empire of accomplishment started with a whispering vision, and every manifestation of life began as an energetic opening of divine intention.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Although tempting, do not over commit yourself to all the possibilities of your social engagements. Prioritize your involvement based on what feels true and right, rather than obligatory. If your “yes” is to be considered meaningful and credible to you and others, you must have the ability to say “no” as an option.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) New visions are bountiful for your career options. Don’t let your big original ideas disappear in a puff of smoke because you were unable to commit yourself to the hard work of implementing the details. A little sweat equity goes a long way.
