Sagittarius Rising -  A time of increased connection to your own spirituality and subconscious. Releasing that which needs to go -- old clothes, furniture, but also situations and people.

Capricorn Rising - Deepening your connections to groups and communities you are a part of. Some may not be serving you and you may discover new ones to take their place. Branch into unexplored territories.

Aquarius Rising - Big shifts and re-structuring of your “purpose” or perhaps your career. A choice between staying where you are (safe) or jumping into a new adventure (growth).

Pisces Rising - Bridging the gap between where you have been, and where you’re headed. New perspectives and ideas that shift your philosophy of life. Opportunities for expansion, learning and growth.

Shadow Work Exercise: ”Fear & Flip”

You will need: A journal or 2 pieces of paper, something to write with, a timer (you can use your phone), a willingness to feel your feelings.

Step 1: Settle in and take a few centering breaths. Tune into your body and pick one sensation or emotion. Begin writing about what you notice.

Step 2: Underneath what you’ve written, identify what fears are at the core of this emotion. Try to identify at least 3 fears.

Step 3: Flip the fears! What is the opposite of each of the fears you wrote down? Write those down.

Step 4: Set a timer for 1 minute per fear (i.e. if you have 5 fears, it’ll be a 5 minute timer) and breathe deeply, as you read over your Flipped Fears from step 3. Allow any sensations or emotions to arise. If you can, expand those feelings by energetically leaning into them.
