Author’s note: This will be my very last monthly horoscopes for Chatelaine! I started writing these monthlies in September 2020 and I have enjoyed the magical ritual of channelling inspiring astrological messages for you dear readers! But alas, change is the only constant in life. I’m grateful for the opportunity. I bid you all farewell for now.
I highly recommend that you primarily read the horoscopes for your rising sign. If you don't know your rising sign, you can read for your sun sign (born during the day) and/or moon sign (born at night). Read it all if you like, and take what resonates. To determine these placements, enter your birth date, location and precise birth time into an astrology app or online. For more guidance on how all of these play together, visit charmastrology.com.
April 20-May 20
As you gear up for the month ahead, expect a surge of refreshed energy and enthusiasm towards exciting new adventures. Keep your eye on the prize by prioritizing your finances, as the promise of ease looms on the horizon. Take proactive steps to settle any outstanding debts so you may clear the path to greater financial freedom. A future where scarcity mentality is not your baseline is even more possible now.
May 21-June 21
The month of May invites you to nurture your spiritual practice and carve out time for introspection and healing. Direct your attention to your overall well-being, which includes your physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual vitality. Prioritizing your needs will ripple positively into other areas of your life, including relationships. As you invest in your growth and wellness, you'll naturally cultivate stronger connections and pave the way for relationship repair.
June 22-July 22
Strike a balance between socializing and introspection, catering to both your need for connection and personal reflection this month ahead. Focus on your health needs and address any signs of burnout with care and attention. Don't hesitate to reach out to your community for support; gather around you those who uplift and understand you. Together, you'll navigate through challenges and understand why belonging is its own medicine. Isolation can be the culprit behind chronic mental health challenges. You are not meant to struggle and celebrate alone.
July 23-Aug. 22
It's time to dive into the exhilarating journey of chasing new dreams and carving out your life's legacy. New paths are being laid down in your career, offering exciting opportunities you didn’t even consider. Keep your heart open. Don't forget to nurture relationships and make new friends along the way—they'll be your cheerleaders as you also grace them with your loving support. And remember, your creativity is a superpower, so let it shine in everything you do.
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
What you thought you believed in is starting to take a new shape. Think about shaking up those old beliefs and embarking on a journey to expand your life’s principles. Dream big and ask yourself: what is the greatest contribution that you want to leave to the world? It's about exploring new perspectives, embracing change, and discovering your unique gifts.
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Take some time for yourself and delve into the depths of your past for healing. In those moments of introspection, you'll find the resilience to emerge anew, ready to rebuild from the ground up. Allow yourself the space to grow and evolve, knowing that every step forward is a step towards a brighter future. Wishing you strength and clarity for the month ahead, dear Libra.
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Life is all about relationships—the connections that shape your sense of self, past and present. This area of life might be both exciting and challenging at the moment, especially when you're starting afresh or dealing with acute loss. Take the time to grieve, heal, and support yourself through it all. Whether it's reaching out to loved ones or spending meaningful solitude. If it resonates, please remember that belonging is the medicine and core plot of life. You are not meant to survive and thrive alone.
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Dear Sagittarius, please remember that you can't juggle everything if your health isn't in check. Your well-being is the true treasure trove. Pay attention to taking care of your basic needs. By tending to yourself, you'll have the vitality to navigate the complexities of your relationships with grace and resilience. So, prioritize your state of wellness—it's the foundation upon which everything else rests.
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Ever thought about flirting as an energetic dynamic versus a dating strategy? As in, have you ever tried flirting with your dream creation, especially when you’re in a creative block? Whether it's snagging your dream job or birthing your next dream vision, try and be mischievous. Pursue your challenges with play instead of serious determination. Also, as you venture forward, remember to find harmony between your health and work. Balance is key to thriving in the month ahead.
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Life's a grand playground, so focus on experimenting, creating, and exploring this month ahead. You do not need to know all the information to take action. Take risks and lean into the excitement possible with uncertainty. Let your curiosity be your guide. Life is all about learning and expanding your comfort zones.
Feb. 19-March 20
Your connection to your local space often signifies what ‘home’ truly means to you. It's more than just a physical place; it's about the intimacy and comfort you feel with the land, the places and the people you have daily proximity with. It’s so cliché, but home is where your people are. The month ahead is about reflecting on the restlessness you’re experiencing when thinking about ‘home.’
March 21-April 19
It's time to plug into your local community and experience the collective power of sharing resources. Contribute your unique talents and energy, and in return, receive the warmth of mutual care and support. Share time, ideas, and your unique gifts with those around you. You can create experiences and meaningful connections that will enrich your life. This month ahead is about reframing what it means to have abundance beyond material things.
