A star exploding in distant space. A desire to go your own way at work or in your career may be causing you stress, but it is also very motivating.

Focus on what your heart wants and take action. Don’t worry about recognition or public opinion.
Leo :: Leo Rising
Eating sunflower seeds and spitting out the shells. Nourish yourself through a meditative practice. Get inspired by the highest ideals. Your need for freedom is high right now. This could go one of two ways. You may be inspired to seek out a new philosophy. Or you may find that an urge to “hit the eject button” is so high that you seek out escape. Try to avoid escapism. Instead, seek your own inner truth and activate your spirituality. Actively nurture yourself.
Virgo :: Virgo Rising
A child’s drawing of a house. Render your ideal world. Dream your dreams, then make a plan. Take small steps to put your plan in motion.

Allow this process and remember that the mental activity of planning will feel very soothing for you now. Use your analytical mind to activate your vision.

However, frustration may also arise if you think in any limiting ways about partnership. Allow yourself utmost freedom. If you have a relationship partner, allow them utmost freedom as well.

Sagittarius :: Sagittarius Rising
Gravel crunching under footsteps. You can find your center by exploring emotions and increasing vulnerability. Your current challenge comes from ego, so notice the places where can you let go of control. Outbursts of pride or plain old drama distract from your mission, which is to go all the way into the far reaches of your psyche. You are trying to burn through old ways of being. Be okay with saying, “I surrender.” Walking meditation will help you find the inner spaciousness you need in order to let go.
Capricorn :: Capricorn Rising
A window looking out onto a field. A window is a spiritual entrance to the soul…as you journey inward, you may notice your emotions coming in waves, and the waves may seem inexplicable. If you allow the cathartic flow of emotions, you will heal long-held emotional injuries and blockages in your ancestral lineage. A window is also a boundary. It’s important that as you heal, you maintain a clear head and a clear sense of your boundaries in relationships. Communication and emotional literacy are key! If all of this becomes intense, soothe yourself by taking altruistic action. Helping others will give you mental space and perspective.
Aquarius :: Aquarius Rising

Your drive to succeed is currently high, so take advantage of the energy.
One more thing— in this stream of thoughts, waves of inspiration are abundant, so pay attention and have your notebook ready.
