ARIES
There may be a new romance on the rise this month, but remember to keep your head on straight - not everything is meant to last, so don't assume anything, and don't share everything. It is okay to keep some parts of your life to yourself, and you are not selfish for doing so. Passion is good, but long lasting relationships aren't built on passion alone. Relationships built on passion can fizzle out: but that's okay. Try to remember that even short relationships can be beautiful, and can benefit your life. Just enjoy every moment you have and don't worry about what's to come.
This is also the month to try new things, maybe pick up a new skill. Try making time for things you don't usually have time for. You'll thank yourself for this.
TAURUS
Healing is hard, and that is okay. Is there something in your life that you haven't healed from, even if it is years old and buried deep underneath the surface? Let it resurface. Stop putting on a brave face for the world. Let yourself heal this month, and forgive. Forgiveness might be hard for you, but you need to realize forgiveness is not for those who have hurt you: it is for you. You can put down the weight you've been carrying, forgive, and move onto other things.
Also, remember that you don't always need to focus on your goals. It is okay to take time to rest and relax, being productive is not the most important thing in the world, even though we tend to prioritize that. Rest this month, and rejuvenate yourself for the rest of the year.
GEMINI
This month, Gemini, I challenge you to pick something—a goal, a task, a project—and see it through to the very end. The world is vast, and your enthusiasm for getting a taste of as much as you possibly can is one of your most admirable traits indeed, but every now and then it’s also good to channel that energy into one subject. Instead of trying to know a little bit about a lot of things, task yourself this month with learning a lot about one thing. Learn a new recipe, teach yourself a language, or how to sew, or how to use a computer program... pick one of your many interests and try to learn something specific about it.
Focusing all of that energy of yours not only will pay off in a new skill for your resume, or more facts to impress people with later, it will also help ground that erratic mind of yours and you will find yourself less anxious and more clear-headed.
CANCER
Your nurturing, caring personality has gotten you this far in life, and indeed it will continue to get you even further, but try to let yourself be taken care of every now and then as well. Instead of turning into yourself and hiding away when you are hurting, reach out to someone close to you and ask for their shoulder, their hand, or their ear. I know it’s all too easy to feel burdensome, and even easier to fall back to what you know to be safe, but I promise you, your loved ones want to be there for you in your times of need, the same way you crave to be there for theirs— you just have to open yourself up and let them.
VIRGO
You can be a bit shy when it comes to your love life, and understandably so. Dating can be scary - rejection is scary, but also new experiences can be scary. This month, please allow yourself to take a chance. You are allowed to do something that may lead to rejection, because rejection is not failure, it is just about seeing who fits best into your life. Learn to welcome rejection as the learning and growing experience it is. Also, Valentine's day doesn't have to be a grand romantic event if you don't want it to. Spending the day with good friends can be very cathartic.
LIBRA
You might put too much of yourself into relationships this month, especially romantic relationships. You should try to avoid doing that. Being single for a while is quite a nice experience, you will learn so much about yourself from being single. Trust that you can stand on your own two feet, and focus on yourself for a while, rather than on romance. You do not need a human to complete you, like the stories about soulmates will tell you. you shine bright all on your own, you lovely human!
SCORPIO
Remember to take a breath or two this month, Scorpio. Take a day off. The world is not going to end if you don’t complete a project as soon as you start it, not will it halt if you change things up a little bit. I know it may be hard to believe, but not everyone is out to get you, either, and living your life constantly looking over your shoulder and trying to be one step ahead of everyone is not doing your mind or body any favors.
Take a few minutes out of your day and just mediate. Give that hamster wheel of a brain the day off. Read your favorite book, or write a brief journal reflection. Do something creative. Or even do something spontaneous. Something unplanned and maybe even a little reckless. The world probably isn’t going to end tomorrow, but if it does, no one is going to care that you didn’t finish that assignment early or that you were half an hour early to work. Buy something impulsively. Agree to a date with someone you barely know. Live, at least a little bit. It may feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but I promise you won’t regret it.
SAGITTARIUS
Take a moment or two, Sagittarius, to really think about the words you are going to say, and who you are going to say them to before voicing them this month. Although speaking honestly is something that will always be preferable to lying, you must try to be aware of how you are phrasing your truths, and to whom you are speaking them.
Your confidence in speaking your mind is something that is refreshing in a current world where we are constantly wondering what people are thinking, but your impatience and carelessness leads to a tactless and sometimes even hurtful approach. Try to be more mindful of both the people and environment around you, and really ask yourself whether or not brutal honesty is the appropriate way to go.
CAPRICORN
Sometimes it may be hard to let go and be spontaneous for you, but this month, you should take a break from responsibilities and do the thing in the back of your mind that you want to do, but never get around to. Taking some time to chase your dreams will seriously benefit you. No ambition is too ambitious, and you need to remember that!
Do you have someone special in your life? Make sure they know on Valentine's day, and don't hold back. Speak what is on your mind, and you won't regret it. Take a chance this month!
