Aries & Aries Rising (March 21-April 19)
What is your relationship to power, Aries? True power may come from surrendering to what you cannot control. Work with the energy rather than against it when you find yourself struggling to push something forward in your work and relationships. Consider the bigger picture: What is the end goal? Most often it is security, both financial and emotional. While it’s wonderful to build secure foundations with someone else, it may be time to focus on strengthening your internal infrastructure to set you up for the expansion that is coming. Keep sex simple and fun, by focusing on your body and what its craving most. Naming those desires and channeling your energy into pleasure will do wonders for your overall wellbeing.

Gemini & Gemini Rising (May 21-June 20)
Shake up your daily routine, Gemini. Despite having 25 browser tabs open you may be feeling bored and understimulated.

Your mental health is directly tied to your physical health, and sexual health is a huge component of overall wellness. Give your mind the creative stimulation it craves by getting more physical activity into your day. This can be a quick walk around the block, a yoga class—or you can try something sexier.

Planting the seeds of desire builds tension and adds to the excitement when you open up and share in detail how you want to be pleased.

Virgo & Virgo Rising (August 23-September 22)
Take stock in the journey, Virgo. Part of the process is sharing your story with others and connecting. Whether it’s with your family, your community, or within your partnerships, communication is key. What have you learned this year that you’re ready to share? Can you show yourself some love for how far you’ve come, rather than pointing out where you think you should be? Embrace where you’ve been and who you’ve become in the process; knowing this present moment is exactly where you’re meant to be. Grounding into your body by expressing your sexuality is a beautiful way to connect with your partners, and most importantly to yourself, as the heart aligns with the energy of the mind and body.
