Aries (March 21 – April 19)
#1 – Share your true feelings with the people that you care about. Allowing yourself to open up and be vulnerable will lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships.
#2 – Open your eyes to everything that is occurring in the world around you. There is so much more to the world than just your own needs, wants and desires.
#3 – Learn to acknowledge and embrace your feelings instead of repressing them, the baggage associated with pent-up feelings will only hold you back.

#5 – While goals are great, you need to learn to set realistic expectations. Continually setting your expectations too high will only set you up for failure.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
#1 – Constantly worrying about the future will rob you of the joy and happiness in the present. Learn to let go of your worries and focus on the here and now.
#2 – There is a value to establishing some form of reliable filter. Not every thought that pops into your head needs to come out of your mouth.
#3 – There is a distinct difference between love and attachment. Seek someone that you enjoy being around rather than someone you feel that you need for some practical reason.
#4 – Despite the fact you would love to fix the world for everyone, there are going to be times that the people who come to you aren’t seeking an answer. Instead, they just need someone to be there and listen.
#5 – You are capable of great things if you simply allow yourself to be comfortable in your own skin. Trust in your strengths and your abilities, and you will surprise yourself with all that you accomplish.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
#1 – Learn to identify the toxic people in your life and recognize the importance of letting them go to free yourself from their negative influence.
#2 – Surrounding yourself with other people will not make up for a lack of self-love. Learn to cherish and respect yourself and all that you bring to this life.
#3 – While easy, surface level friendships can be fun, the time and energy needed to build strong, lasting and established friendships that will last the test of time is incredibly important.
#4 – Know that there will come moments in life where you must choose to be selfish in order to survive this life, and that’s okay. There is nothing wrong with focusing on yourself, you can’t care for others if you are broken yourself.
#5 – Discover what fuels the fire of passion within you, whether it’s a specific hobby, career, or a cause, and allow yourself to follow your heart. This is the secret to true success and happiness in life.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
#1 – Don’t allow yourself to be trapped doing something you hate. If something is bringing that much negativity into your life, whether it is a job or a community obligation, then it is time for a massive change.
#2 – There will always be responsibilities in life, but don’t allow them to be everything. Life is so much more than simply working to pay the bills. Learn to enjoy your life and truly live.

#4 – Don’t just plan to do something new and exciting, allow yourself to follow through. Dreaming of an amazing vacation is fun, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the actual experience.
#5 – Allow yourself to meet and engage with new people. It’s not that you are looking to replace the people you hold dear, but new people can bring new experiences and outlooks on life.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)

#3 – Recognize that you don’t have to stay in any place in life if it isn’t making you happy. Change jobs or move to a new city – Change is often the start of something great.
#4 –It’s great to be brave and confident, but it’s also okay to fall apart sometimes. You don’t always have to be the strong one, allow those who care to be there for you from time to time.
#5 – Love is not always going to go your way. Just because you love yourself (and you do), that doesn’t mean everyone else is going to love you with the same intensity and dedication. You are not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
#1 – Learn to stand up and take responsibility for your own life. While you may encounter outside influences, only you can decide how you react. You choose whether it breaks you or fuels your fire.
