My personal favorite is a tangible, physical vision board, with visual aids and inspiring photos- anything from beautiful locations I see online to people whom I look up to- whatever inspires you fires you up! Some find it easier to chronicle their progress and goals in written form, in a journal or notebook, with annotations and adjustments to acknowledge their progress. There is no one way to manifest the life you want to leap towards, you need only to start. So, below, we encourage you to pick one of 3 ways to become the architect of your dream life!

1. Get a large, white cardboard paper and begin to glue images that inspire you, or visuals that provide you with the vision of what you want. Below each image, or next to it, describe what you want and how you’d feel having received it. Something along the lines of, “I would love to visit ____and it would make me feel so incredibly grateful to share this experience with my loved ones!”

2. Buy a notebook that evokes joy or happiness within you, whether it be your favorite color pattern or texture, and start journaling in there of all the things you want and how you’d feel if you’d received them. You can itemize the list, or free form write it. Begin to thank the universe for blessing you for all that you have and all that you’re getting- remember, an attitude of gratitude!

3. If freestyling your goals and dreams can get a little tricky for you, you can purchase a pre-written gratitude/manifestation journal with guided prompts that help you get to the place you need to be. There are step by step guides for how to figure out what you want, how you can actualize it, and continue the pattern of working towards that, gratefully and with clarity!

I am a beacon of light, success, happiness, and calm.I  am a magnet for all that I desire.

It’s not always easy to appreciate the good when you're constantly surrounded by so much worrying news, familial problems, work dilemmas, and so much more! You feel like your enjoyment could be taking away from acknowledging the pain and suffering of the world around you- but, it’s quite the opposite, in fact. Taking the time to appreciate what you have, like your family and friends being in good health, or knowing you have a full year to look ahead, full of new opportunities and adventures, can be especially difficult. 

So, this year, we’re making it official: by writing down 31 things you are grateful for, for every day of December, to remind yourself whenever you feel down or uninspired or forlorn, of everything small and large that you have to be grateful for! Whether it’s the impending snow that’s about to fall down and your getting to witness it- write it down! A new relationship to look forward to? Write it down! By romanticizing your life and appreciating all that comes with it, you will encourage more excitement, more love, and more joy to envelop you for the holiday season and the next year!

Instead of focusing on what the holidays should mean- family, friends, love, and laughter- we focus on the things we don't have- financial stability, a partner, or anything else that may be plaguing us. We don't find time to find gratitude for our health and well-being but instead focus on all the things wrong, so this holiday season, i challenge you to the 5 rules to adhere to from My Therapist Says.

1. Plan, Plan, PLAN: If you plan ahead, you’ll win instead! Planning your budget, your schedule, your routine, and your to-do list will ease the burden of the overwhelming amount of work that comes with the holidays. There’s no shortage of stressors, especially during a busy season, so alleviate some of the pressure by at least having a plan and even if you happen to deviate from it, you still know where to go, what to do, how much you can spend, and who to see!

2. The Art of No: Saying ‘no’ will be your ally and your confidant during the festive season! We often take on more than we can carry, burdening ourselves with the stress that comes with attending too many dinners, dinner parties, work events, or anything else that may be adding unnecessary stress in an already trying time. Say yes to the things you actually want to do and the people you actually want to see!

3. Don’t Forget to Breathe: Finding time for yourself, your mind, and your body is of the utmost importance. You should have a system down for being able to channel some tranquility, even in the most unlikely of places! And yes, I do mean your annoying step-mother’s house!

4. Share and Care: Sharing how you feel and being honest with your family and friends is important at any time, but during the holidays, it’s a great way to bond with loved ones, be there for eachother, and forge new friendships for the years ahead. Being kind and empathetic for those spending the holidays alone or currently dealing with a loss; being present for friends nursing internal troubles; all the kindness you can spare will go a long way with those suffering in silence.

5. Be Real and Have Fun: Be realistic about what your expectations are, and have fun! Once you know the reality of things, and acknowledge that, there is nothing stopping you from enjoying yourself and allowing the festive season to envelop you like your favorite throw on a cozy, Christmas day! We all tend to dwell on things, and that’s okay- but remember to tae time in between to appreciate what you have, who you have, and most of all, appreciate yourself!

Glimmers can come in various forms, such as a stunning sunset, a cute gesture from a loved one, or achieving a personal goal! Something as simple as doing yoga for a week or whatever else you’ve set your sight on, if you accomplish it, you give yourself that small boost that can then grow bigger! By actively seeking out and embracing glimmers in our day-to-day lives, we can cultivate a more positive and resilient mindset, making it easier to navigate difficult times.

The presence of glimmers can have a profound impact on our mental health by counteracting negative emotions or thoughts throughout the day. When we consciously focus on and appreciate the glimmers around us, it shifts our attention away from stressors, worries, or anxieties, allowing us to experience moments of peace and contentment. It’s so rare that we just sit back and really enjoy and appreciate the moment. Glimmers act as a reminder that there is always something beautiful or uplifting to be found, even in challenging situations. By incorporating glimmers into our daily routine, whether through practicing gratitude or engaging in activities that bring us joy, we can change everyday from an okay one to a great one, and every week, we will have something to look forward to. Start with a small, uplifting thing to change your day, just to get used to giving your body and mind a moment of peace, happiness, and that boost to better your overall self!!

Now if you’re reading this, raise your hand if you're a perfectionist! 🙋‍♀️ I feel you. I'm the queen of setting impossibly high standards for myself. Gotta have the perfect grades, perfect body, perfect life!

But let’s be honest… that kind of thinking is setting us up for major anxiety.

Perfectionism is an admirable quality, but taken too far, it can lead to anxiety and paralysis. As women, we often hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, striving for flawless grades, appearances, relationships - an idyllic life. But this relentless pursuit of perfection comes at a cost.

The voice inside telling us we're not good enough is perfectionism anxiety rearing its ugly head. This condition has us terrified of mistakes and falling short, rendering us frozen and unable to start tasks or achieve goals. How does such paralysis serve our growth?

Of course, flawlessness is appealing. But the constant pressure to be perfect is far from a walk in the park, leading to excessive self-criticism, fear of failure, and heightened stress. True, we wish to emulate role models like Beyonce. But we must accept that a flawless life exists only in our wildest dreams.

Progress necessitates self-compassion, allowing room for missteps and growth. To thrive, we must release the crippling need for perfection and focus instead on fulfillment.

Try this: begin a passion project for enjoyment rather than praise. Savor the process, imperfections and all. Your mind and body require rest, not relentless striving. Stumbles are inevitable on one's journey.

We are multifaceted women, not one-dimensional archetypes. Let us shed perfectionism anxiety and embrace our complexity. Our only real failure is letting fear impede our potential. Say it with me sisters: "I am beautifully imperfect and that is my superpower!"

Have you heard about this silent walking thing? It's like the latest self-care trend for the mind! Now, before you think I've gone all zen-obsessed, hear me out. This is legit.

Silent walking is basically taking peaceful strolls all by yourself without talking or checking your phone. I know, shocking concept these days, right? But get this - it's said to be super good for mental health and reflection. A solo, tech-free walk? A perfect recipe for getting our minds right!

See, when we walk in silence surrounded by nature or somewhere chill, it creates space to connect with ourselves on a deeper level. No convos, no notifications, just us and our thoughts getting some much-needed quality time. And in this nonstop, crazy world, don't we all need that?

Silent walking lets you tune in to your feels, get introspective, and maybe uncover some inner wisdom. No need to fill the space talking - the silence holds the magic! It's like hitting the reset button for your brain. And who couldn't use that?

Now more than ever, we're searching for calm and clarity, am I right? Well, research shows silent walking can reduce stress, improve concentration, boost creativity...all kinds of good vibes! It's the perfect mindfulness practice for queens like us needing to take a healthy break from the pressure to always be stimulated and "on".

So why not give it a try? Set a time, grab your fave sneaks, and walk out your worries, girl! Silent walking just might lead you to a brighter, more centered you. Your mind will thank you. This is self-care for the soul! Loving this practice for us!

Ever heard of shadow work? It's this super cool method where we look into the corners of our minds and deal with those unresolved feels, old hurts, and parts of us we kinda try to ignore. Shout out to Carl Jung – that genius Swiss dude – who said we all have this shadowy part that needs some love and understanding to truly grow and shine.

Now you’re probably wondering where this came from.

A couple of years ago, I hit this point in my life where I felt stuck. You know that feeling? Like you're just going through the motions, and life's become this predictable loop. It wasn't depression, but it was like living in this gray zone. Then, during a girls' weekend trip to a yoga retreat in Sedona (totally recommend, by the way!), I attended a workshop titled, "Unearthing the Unseen: A Journey to Wholeness". Sounds deep, right?

That's where I was introduced to the magic of shadow work. And by magic, I mean this eye-opening, transformative, sometimes tear-jerking method of diving deep into the self. I learned about Carl Jung and how he believed we all have parts of ourselves we don't always acknowledge.

At first, I was skeptical. Why would I want to dredge up old feelings? But then, during a guided meditation, something clicked. Memories surfaced, emotions swelled, and I realized there were aspects of myself that I'd been sidelining or even suppressing.

And you know what? Taking that journey with my shadows didn't just help me confront past traumas. It also made me more aware of patterns I'd unknowingly repeated in relationships, career choices, and even in how I treated myself.

Now, why should you care? Well, if you've ever felt like something's holding you back, or if you've ever wondered why you react a certain way in specific situations, shadow work might just be your key. It's a personal journey, for sure, but it's one that can lead to profound understanding, self-acceptance, and ultimately, growth.

So, how do we do this shadow work? We light up those inner dark corners with things like meditation, journaling, maybe even therapy, and just some good ol' self-reflection. Especially with all the crazy stuff happening in the world now, ain't it about time we gave our minds some TLC? Life might throw us curveballs, but that doesn't mean we let our minds go all haywire.

By doing shadow work, we get this awesome chance to really get ourselves. We face and embrace those parts we might usually avoid, and that's super empowering. Yeah, it can be tough – like looking at old embarrassing photos – but the growth? Girl, it's so worth it! Loving this journey for us!

And the best part? Shadow work helps us break out of those annoying habits where we might be our own worst enemy. By understanding our shadows, we see how they play into our everyday life – influencing our choices and feelings.

I'm not saying it's a one-size-fits-all answer. But for me, and maybe for you, it's a path worth exploring. So, why not dive in and see what's lurking in your shadows? You might just discover a brighter, more authentic you waiting to shine.

The whole idea is to set aside some chill-out time. It’s about stepping away from chores, gadgets, and all that noise, and just being with your thoughts. It might sound a bit weird, but folks from the Netherlands say it's a way to clear your head, get creative, and feel refreshed. By letting our minds just roam free, it’s like taking a mini mental break.

Adding some Niksen time to our daily routine is a simple yet effective way to escape the fast life. It can be as simple as finding a comfy spot to sit and daydream, going for a relaxed walk with no real destination, or enjoying a cup of tea while you're lost in thought. It's a little hideaway from the non-stop buzz. By allowing ourselves to do absolutely nothing, we can find a nice balance and feel better overall.

So, in the midst of the daily hustle, Niksen is a gentle reminder to take a break, breathe, and enjoy the simple act of doing nothing. Try it today, let yourself relax in the calm, and find your own little slice of peace in those quiet Niksen moments.

Cozy cardio is all about finding joy in movement without sacrificing your relaxation time. Instead of torturous burpees and intense HIIT workouts, this trend encourages gentle exercises like stretching, yoga, and low-impact dances.

All these activities, while burning calories and raising endorphins, benefit your overall state of being!

But don't be fooled by the cozy atmosphere - these workouts are designed to get your heart pumping and endorphins flowing. The focus is on gentle yet effective movements that promote flexibility, strength, and self-care. Embrace the magic of cozy cardio and say hello to a workout routine that is as comforting as a warm hug. Who needs a gym when you can snuggle up and twerk it out in the coziest corner of your home? Below, 3 of our favorite cozy workouts that are fun, effective, and accessible to everyone!

Organizing my week ahead on a Sunday evening is one of my favorite ways to ground myself after a weekend filled with movement and a lot of chaos. I like to include the right amount of meditation, exercise, and healthy habits to ensure my week is positively conducive to not only my mental health but my health as a whole. Below, I’ve linked planners with timestamps that personally suit my style best as they aid in my knowing where and when exactly I have to be.

1. Joy Daily Planner

2. Daily Productivity Planner

Clearing out clutter and cozying up my personal space is another Sunday activity that is beneficial overall and helpful in the grand scheme of things. Though these small adjustments seem inconsequential they do make a difference if you just stick to them and continue to set a routine for yourself that is all about furthering the best ‘you’ you can be!

Organization is truly powerful - it provides a sense of control and order amidst the chaos of everyday life. By taking time to tidy, plan, and prepare on Sundays, you set yourself up for a calm, focused week ahead. A decluttered space leads to a decluttered mind. A thoughtfully planned schedule removes stress and uncertainty. Meal prepping leads to better eating habits. Establishing these organizational rituals not only impacts your home and work life, but all areas of your health and wellness.

Spending Sunday evenings organizing your planner and calendar specifically can make a world of difference. Mapping out your appointments, meetings, and deadlines reduces anxiety about the week ahead. Similarly, scheduling in time for self-care, exercise, and fun ensures you honor your personal needs too. Writing a clear, realistic to-do list provides direction and motivation. And setting weekly goals keeps you focused on priorities. Staying on top of your schedule promotes productivity, positivity, and peace of mind.

Beyond planning out your week, organizing and decluttering your physical space clears mental clutter too. Take time to tidy your home office, bedroom, closets, and more. Toss out what you don't need, put items back in their designated spots, deep clean surfaces, and create peaceful order. You'll be amazed at how refreshed this makes you feel. A clean, organized environment also improves focus and efficiency. Decluttering reduces stress levels and encourages mindfulness.

Don't underestimate the impact even small organizational habits can have. Tasks like making your bed, meal prepping healthy grab-and-go items, laying out your clothes, or setting up your coffee maker make mornings smooth. Visualizing your goals, writing in a journal, or reading an inspiring book become beneficial rituals. Even simple repetitions like organizing your keys and bag by the door bring calm. Turn organization into self-care.

The power of organization is real. But don't let it become a source of anxiety either. Start small, focus on areas that uplift you, and stay flexible. Tidy and plan with purpose, but leave room for spontaneity too. Use organization to create space for what matters - deeper connections, creativity, adventures, and joy. Be strategic but hold it all loosely. Find what organizational rituals make you feel your best!

It starts with one small step that turns into a pattern that in turn becomes a habit and eventually, a lifestyle. Implementing small changes throughout your day, your week, or your year, can impact you greatly in the grand scheme of things.

You have to live with an alignment of consistency and small progress- anything where you can reward yourself, or feel proud, even something small and seemingly inconsequential. 

For me, that looks something like waking every morning, partaking in a 5-10 minute meditation and doing something every day that impacts both my body and mind positively. That could be a short walk, a game of tennis, or even a cooking class! So, this week- start your goal of amending one thing a day to benefit an OVERALL you.

1. Pillow talk: Upgrade your pillow game, sis. Get one that's so fluffy, it feels like you're sleeping on a cloud made of puppies. Sweet dreams guaranteed. Try this Casper Pillow.

2. Pajama party: Choose the fabric, fit, and style that most puts you at ease, because our body is incredibly responsive when we feel uncomfortable so it’s important to be as detail oriented as possible. We love these soft bamboo ones and the come in different colours, including a cute sand coloured pair for the neutral aesthetic girlies

3. Netflix and no chill: Sorry, boo, but late-night binge-watching isn't your friend. Swap out that Netflix marathon for a good book (we recommend The Alchemist if you haven’t read it yet, it’s a must) or some lavender-scented relaxation. Your sleep cycle will thank you. And that also means no phone 2 hours to 30 minutes before bed. Not only will your body and mind finally relax from the over stimulation but you can channel that time into some healthy meditation practices- remember, a clear mind does wonders.

In addition to breathing for your body, there are other things you can do that instill the confidence that you may be lacking for that prosperous, fresh new start. A planner to organize all your thoughts, goals, and steps for the next few months. A timetable to productively schedule out your day. Even something as small as making a one-day-a-week appointment that is just for you! It is the small things that make a difference on the grand scale of things- you want to live your life beautifully and to its full potential, so whatever small practices aid you in that quest must be adhered to!

This week, your purpose should be for you; a complete focus on what will work best for you in the coming days/weeks/months, so you can be the best version of yourself to your family, your friends, and most of all, yourself.

Whilst they may seem silly or somewhat ridiculous from the outside, these rituals guide me in more ways than one when it comes to grounding me back to where I want my mind and spirit to be. Whether it’s chanting a mantra of positivity, or following a 15 minute uplifting guided meditation- it not only helps, but prepares me for whatever the week ahead has in store. These meditative rituals are simple as they can be done anywhere and everywhere. If I feel that I need more uplifting energy that day, I’ll do them on my walk and before bed- or I’ll do them as I eat breakfast and then as I’m resting. The great thing about finding something so ritualistic and constant is that there are no rules; the only rule is consistency. The consistent need to maintain positive mental well-being.

Instead of going over all the things you regret and wish you hadn’t said/done, think instead of all the wonderful things you are proud of, the incredible people who surround you, the small acts of kindness you experienced/performed, and anything else that may cross your mind in gratitude. It seems like a small thing, to be done with quickly and never thought of again, but if you really sit still, meditate, and let your mind explore the crevices of gratitude, you’ll be surprised at how much you can positively influence your day and your life.

So, as you wake, after you have your coffee/tea/matcha, find a comfortable place, get into a seated position, close your eyes, and really focus on every small thing you can think of. When you are done, you will feel lighter, happier, and more uplifted, looking forward to a fresh, new week ahead. At this point, you might want to journal, as we suested last week, in any way that you feel inspired to do so.

Fall brings with it new beginnings, new opportunities, and new memories. We fill ourselves with gratitude for what the summer taught us and brought us, and move onwards and upwards. For me, that means writing a list of goals/intentions that I would like to practice daily and pursue until the new year. Healthy habits, new dreams, and meditative practices. Things to soothe me into a mentally happy and healthy fall season. 

For some, it's hard to get down a list of goals on a piece of paper, finding it daunting and overwhelming, deciding which are worthy, or which are realistic; and which goals will actually prove useful?  This is where I suggest a guided journal of sorts that will provide you with the necessary prompts and helpful additions to bring your vision into fruition. That could be a meditation journal, a gratitude journal, an itemized journal, a checklist; truly anything that sets your heart racing in excitement in pursuit of accomplishing something positive for yourself and for your soul! Below, I’ve itemized some helpful ones to get you started! And remember, it’s not about making it perfect or entirely complete, it’s just about starting something that gets you going in the right direction.

Gratitude journals:

1. Intelligent Change The Five Minute Journal

2. Meditation: A Day and Night Reflection Journal (90 Days)

3. 12 Week Empowerment Program Manifestation Journal for Self Love, Positivity, Mindfulness, and Self Care

Hey Aries, feeling the cosmic vibes this week? 😎 Well, brace yourself for some tempting opportunities! But remember, babe, jumping out of the fire and into the frying pan is like trading your wine for water. Think about what's best for you.🍷💁‍♀️

And as for the second half of the week, if you start feeling like you're running on empty, it's time to pump the brakes. Maybe take a second to evaluate your life's journey or just binge-watch your favorite show. Who knows, your energy vampire might just be that guilty pleasure snack or Netflix addiction. Time to ghost those bad habits like last season's fashion! 💅

♉ Taurus

Hey Taurus, ready to trade in that practicality card for some romance and spontaneity this week? 😘 Let's sprinkle a little more love and free-spiritedness into that marriage or relationship, shall we? Think less budget spreadsheet, more dance-in-the-kitchen-at-midnight vibes. 🕺💃

And guess what? The stars are aligning to make this the PERFECT week for you to focus on that bod. Whether it's finally ditching those chips or embracing morning yoga, it's time to treat yourself like the queen or king you are. 💪👑

But wait, there's more. As the week wraps up, don't forget to let your inner Oprah out. Your ideas and words? They're not just resonating, they're hitting home runs with your fam and friends. Speak your truth, add some sparkle, and watch the magic happen. As always, your biggest fans are those nearest and dearest. Now go out there and shine, you fabulous Taurus! 🎤✨

♊ Gemini

Hey Gemini, feeling a little bossy this week? 😏 The planets are giving you the green light to take charge and set those priorities!

You know you've got that feisty side, and it might just slip out. 😬 If you happen to offend, a quick 'sorry' sprinkled with some charm will smooth things over.

And listen, this week it's all about YOU. Don't be leaning on anyone else too much. If someone lets you down, don't get stuck in the blame game. Like that uncomfortable pair of heels, sometimes you just gotta kick off what hurts and strut forward. 👠💔 By clearing the clutter and those pain-bringing peeps, you're making room for something fabulous.

So go on, Gemini, take this week by the horns. Show the world you've got this and more, all on your own. You got this, superstar! 🌟

♋ Cancer

But don't dwell in the blues too long. Strut over those troubles and switch that frown upside down! Focus on the lessons learned and how you can shield yourself from future heartaches. You've got this resilience thing down. 💪

And about that little end-of-the-week oopsie with someone close? A simple 'sorry, it's my fault' is a start, but make sure you follow through. Don't just swipe left on responsibility. Dig deep, find a way to make amends, and keep that love and trust alive. ❤

Remember, Cancer, you've got the heart and soul to turn any situation around. So dry those tears, and let's turn this week into a triumph! 🌈

It's got romance, harmony, and heartfelt convos lined up for you, too. Time to kiss and make up or just make some fabulous memories with your special someone. 🥰

But hold up! As your confidence grows (and we know it will, you fabulous creature 🦁), don't let that turn into full-on diva mode. Keep those ears open and that heart big. If someone reaches out for a helping hand or a wise word, be there for them. You never know when you might need a friend in return.

So go on, Leo, shine bright, spread that love, and stay humble. This week's got your name written all over it, but remember to share the spotlight with those you care about. It's your time to roar – but in a nice way! 😉

♍ Virgo

Hey Virgo, are you ready to dazzle this week? 😎 The stars are basically putting a spotlight on you, especially if you're bringing that innate charisma into play. You know, that thing you've got that makes people go "Wow!" Don't hold back; go all in! Even that arch-nemesis at work? Watch them melt under the persuasive power of Virgo charm.

But wait, before you go turning everything you touch into gold, let's have a quick reality check on the home front. That DIY project or big clean-up plan? Yeah, it's going to take waaay longer than you think. Maybe just breathe and take it one step at a time.

And while we're talking about self-care, let's chat about that diet. 🍔🍟 If you've been indulging in some questionable culinary choices lately, it's time to swap them out for something a bit more nourishing. Think more greens, less greasy, and watch how you thrive.

So go ahead, Virgo, conquer the world but remember to nourish yourself properly and maybe set aside some extra time for those home projects. You've got this, and the stars are cheering you on! 🌟

♎ Libra

Hey Libra, grab your shades because your week's looking bright with just a hint of mystery! 🕶 First up, let's talk secrets. You know those juicy tidbits you've been keeping under wraps? Keep them locked down tight. The stars are feeling a bit gossipy, and one slip could spill the beans. 🤫

But don't fret, that's the only bump in the road. Get ready to unleash those natural talents, that uncanny intuition, and all the ingenuity you're known for. Whether it's work, hobbies, or just life in general, you're about to shine!

And speaking of shining, let's talk love. ❤ Single Libras, are you ready for that magic word "yes"? Get ready to swipe right on romance. As for the coupled-up Libras, passion's not just smoldering; it's ready to burst into flames. 🌹 Time to stoke that fire with some romantic gestures and watch it roar!

So go on, Libra, keep those secrets safe, let your talents glow, and embrace the love. This week's all yours to enjoy, so make it fabulous! 🌟

♏ Scorpio

Hey Scorpio, ready to unleash that brainpower? 🧠 This week, your intellect is so on fire, you'll have even the most stubborn debaters waving the white flag. If there's ever been a time to use those smarts for good, it's now. Create harmony, spread comfort, and maybe even solve world peace while you're at it (no pressure). 🌍✌

But hold up, Sherlock! Let's not get lost in daydreams and utopian schemes. Planning the next decade down to the second? Not your best move this week. Stick to the facts, trust your gut, and lean on that hard-earned wisdom. 📚

And about seeking advice from others? Maybe skip it for now. The peanut gallery might not have the most objective takes during this time. You've got everything you need within you to make smart choices.

So go on, Scorpio, flex that intellectual muscle and make this week all kinds of amazing. Just remember to keep those feet on the ground and trust yourself. You've got this! 🦂💪

♐ Sagittarius

Hey Sagittarius, feeling a little haunted by those inner demons this week? 👻 It might seem like peace is playing hard to get, but don't fret. It's time to go all Marie Kondo on those irritations. Sort 'em out, figure out what's truly sparking joy, and then focus on the little things.

You know, like the swirl of cream in your morning coffee, the laughter of kids playing outside, or the way the sunlight dances through the leaves. 🌞☕🍃 These tiny magical moments are everywhere, waiting to lift your spirits.

And oh boy, the romance forecast is looking hot, hot, hot by the week's end! 💘 Coupled-up Sagittarians, expect some lovely surprises from your other half. Single and ready to mingle? Keep those eyes peeled for some intriguing glances coming your way. Wink, wink!

So go on, Sagittarius, dance with those demons, find joy in the simple things, and get ready for some love. This week is your own personal rollercoaster, so buckle up and enjoy the ride! 🎢💖

♑ Capricorn

Hey Capricorn, strap in for a bumpy ride this week. 🎢 The stars are throwing a little shade your way, and you might find yourself playing secret keeper or wrestling with irritation that's itching to break free. Take a deep breath, count to ten, and hang tight until mid-week. Things are going to level out. 🧘

But don't just rush into action when the clouds clear. Take your time, analyze those sudden changes, and resist the urge to dive in headfirst. Impulsiveness could backfire, and nobody wants that. 🚫

And hey, how about a little blast from the past? 🚀 The weekend is prime time to reconnect with old friends, maybe even spark up a former romance or extend an olive branch. It's all about love, forgiveness, and attention to those who matter most.

So go on, Capricorn, navigate the challenges, embrace the good, and make this week a masterpiece of growth and connection. You've got the wisdom and strength to make it all happen. 💪❤

♒ Aquarius

Hey Aquarius, ready to take the director's chair this week? 🎬 The stars are handing you the script, and you're calling the shots. But a word of caution, don't forget to consider all the players in your cosmic drama. The astral weather's looking a little uncertain, so steer your ship wisely and keep an eye on those cosmic winds. 🌬🚢

When it comes to love and personal matters, it's time to channel your inner superstar. 🌟 Stop doubting and start doing. Got some unfinished emotional business? Maybe a former flame who's still in the dark? Well, dear Aquarius, honesty's the best policy. It might be tough, but laying down the truth can clear the air and set things right.

Remember, playing hide-and-seek with reality only muddies the waters. Keep it real, follow your instincts, and let your inner director shine.

So take the helm, Aquarius, and sail boldly into your week. You've got the creativity and the courage to make it a blockbuster. 🎥💫

♓ Pisces

Hey Pisces, feeling the urge to dive into a debate? 🎤 Resist that temptation this week; let others argue if they must. Your mission? Keep that emotional balance and self-confidence steady, like a serene pond in the middle of a forest. 🌲💧

Now, about that love situation. You know, the one that felt like an unrequited romance novel? 📖❤ Well, midweek is sprinkling a little fairy dust your way. There's hope on the horizon for getting closer to your crush, but patience, dear Pisces, patience.

And when the weekend rolls around, it's all about you, you, you! 🛀💆‍♂️💆 After spending so much energy on life's challenges, treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation. Think warm baths, aroma oils, soothing tunes, and maybe even a massage. Go on, pamper yourself and soak in the good vibes.

So dodge those debates, embrace love's possibilities, and indulge in some self-care. It's your week to shine, Pisces, so make it a magical one! 🌟🐟

For me, that means trying to practice daily gratitude! Every morning, as I wake up, I try to practice gratitude for everything and every person in my life, no matter how inconsequential. This way, it’ll become habitual and stay with me throughout the rest of the year. Starting something during the breezy months of summer is particularly nice because the nice weather and blue skies inspire you to take charge of your own health and wellness, and once that becomes habitual, it's easier to take that into the gloomier winter months where it’s often hard to find motivation!

Your Week in Astrology: July 31 to August 6, 2023

Like all reasonable and rational people everywhere, the only way to properly kick off your week is with a horoscope to predict your trials, tribulations, mishaps, and successes!  

Have an important meeting this week? Gunning for a promotion? Going to profess your love to your crush? Fear not, as we’ve got you covered on all fronts with our weekly astrology reading. Enter our mystical world of stars and astros, and get your weekly scoop!

♈ Aries

OK, Aries, this week is all about manifesting those boss moves in the material world. But don't forget to pump the brakes, because 'caution' is basically your middle name right now. It's like the universe has suddenly started speaking your language and those foggy situations are starting to make sense. Pro tip: Ditch the cryptic DMs during heart-to-hearts, the clearer you are, the more likely they'll slide into your support squad.

As we hit the week's latter half, it's time to shift gears to maximum chill. Dial down the FaceTimes and endless texts, it's okay to hit them with a polite "new phone, who dis?". The only exception is your numero uno, for them, make time. It's not just important, it's relationship-essential. It's like your own VIP pass to maintaining those solid ties. Because let's face it, you're not just an Aries, you're an Aries who cares.

♉ Taurus

Well, hello, Taurus! Your stars this week are sending you down a deep, introspective rabbit hole. So, forget those material gains for a hot minute and start vibing with your inner self. You don't need a PhD in Psychology to navigate your brain's labyrinth, just ask yourself: what do you really want from this rollercoaster called life, and what's the game plan?

Here's the tea: Anything you kickstart this week is like a freight train, honey, ain't no stopping it. So, bear that in mind, Taurus babes. Even a tiny tiff could snowball into a full-blown feud, and playing fast and loose with your health could have you swapping your hustle for a hospital gown. No matter how much the world around you screams "GO, GO, GO!", don't forget to hit the pause button and get some well-deserved R&R.

♊ Gemini

Gemini, it feels like you're stuck in the slow lane this week and, babe, I know it's not your jam. Here's a reality check though: just as you can't speed up the world, you can't be everyone's mood ring either. If you're finding yourself surrounded by Debbie Downers, it might be time to hit the "do not disturb". After all, you're a Gemini, honey - you invented self-entertainment!

As the week rounds up, the stars are hinting at a creative boomtown. It's like you've just had a double espresso shot of inspiration! This is the universe telling you to get your groove on. As your mood gets an upgrade and your thoughts fall into place, you might just stumble upon the life-altering idea that steers your ship in a new direction.

♋ Cancer

Alright, Cancer, here's the deal: the cosmic GPS is a bit wonky at the start of this week, and jumping into the action might not be the wisest move. If you're feeling out of the loop, step back. Otherwise, your well-meaning decisions might backfire and stir up a fresh batch of problems, for you and your squad.

But don't fret, darling Crabs! As the days roll on, your self-confidence will skyrocket, making you a magnet for all the good vibes. Your irresistible charm, sharp wit, and intellectual prowess will be turning heads left, right and center. Now's the time to seize the day - flirt your way into a new romance, prove your point to that stubborn better half, or broker peace between the old school and new school peeps in your life.

♌ Leo

Hey there, Leos! This week's shaping up to be a prime time for all things finance. Time to roll up those royal sleeves and get down to business - optimizing expenses and revisiting your budget. But remember, keep your eye on your own paper. Trying to squeeze into someone else's life narrative, even if they're super close to you, is a recipe for disaster.

The stars are nudging you to spend the tail end of your week tackling those lingering issues one by one. Things will move along smoother if you recruit some allies, but remember, honesty is your best policy. No need to put on a show to get people on your side - the truth has a way of coming out, and let's face it, you're a Leo, you're already irresistible!

♍ Virgo

Virgo, here's the drill for the week: No loose ends allowed! Tidy up those to-dos and tie them off with a neat little bow. Trust me, your future self will thank you. The celestial vibes this week are totally in your corner, with lady luck sprinkling some of her magic on your personal and financial endeavours.

It's time to come out of your shell and share your dreams and desires with your loved ones. Listen up, Virgo, your thoughts aren't broadcasting on public radio, you gotta voice 'em out! A well-voiced wish is like a magnet, attracting allies from all corners, even from the world of WiFi.

♎ Libra

This week, the cosmos is calling all Libras to the frontlines of life. Sitting on the sidelines or keeping your ideas on the DL is like gifting your success ticket to someone else. Plot twist: When you dive into the details, you might just realize that your brainwaves and those of your competitors aren't fighting each other - they're creating a beautiful harmony!

PSA for you, dear Libras: in this era of fake news, make sure you're fact-checking with reliable sources. And for those of you who've just jumped into the love pond, don't let the grapevine chatter mess with your heads or hearts.

♏ Scorpio

Get ready, Scorpios, your astrological forecast this week is spicier than a hot salsa. Yeah, you can totally crush your goals, but let's be real, it's gonna take some serious sweat, nerves, and hours. Remember, you get what you give in all corners of life, and harshly criticizing a loved one is a fast track to a feud.

As the week winds down, you might have to hit pause on your daydreams and take a reality check. Whether it's dealing with a household hiccup, jumping into a family situation, or making things right after a recent mess-up, it's time to step up and get your hands dirty.

♐ Sagittarius

Hey there, Sagittarius! Your energy levels this week are hitting some serious high notes. Use this power surge wisely and you might just find time to lend a helping hand to someone in your crew. Just a heads up though, you might have to dial up the philosophy and patience. Not everyone's gonna catch your wisdom bombs in their original form, so be prepared to tweak and repeat.

As you slide into the back half of the week, expect some turbulence in the business arena. It might be wise to shelve those long-term plans and start tackling the small stuff first. And hey, don't be shy about accepting help from those rallying around you. Not only will it fast-track your progress, but it'll also give your mood a much-needed boost.

♑ Capricorn

Alright Capricorns, this week's got you wearing the 'relationship expert' hat. Those of you in the family way, it's time to tune into the loved ones' frequency. So, let your inner altruist take the wheel. Sometimes, putting yourself on the back burner is the secret sauce to finding harmony.

Come the weekend, it's time to switch gears and focus on numero uno. The stars are hinting at some spicy romance or a blast from the past making a cameo. Sliding into some DMs might just reignite your mojo. And if that doesn't do the trick, dive into creative pursuits, sports, or some brainy challenges to give your spirits a lift.

♒ Aquarius

Hey Aquarius, buckle up for a smooth ride this week! The cosmic forecast is signaling a serious boost to your creative mojo, making it the perfect time to explore new angles on old faves. And remember, you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket - multitasking is your middle name.

As the weekend looms, it's time to tackle those relationship conundrums head-on. A clear-cut response will help you swerve drama, misunderstandings, and green-eyed monsters. And Aquarians, if there are people in your orbit bringing a toxic vibe or just plain hating on your success, it's time to hit that block button. Let's keep the mood positive and the vibes high!

♓ Pisces

Good news, Pisces, lady luck is on your side this week! All you need to do is turn up your initiative and finesse, and master the art of deciphering the universe's clues and reading between the conversational lines. Your emotional weather is key this week, so keep the vibes sunny side up. Remember, optimists win at life!

When the weekend hits, it's time for some love life spring cleaning. If you're hitched, it's time to smooth out any wrinkles in your relationship. For all the single Pisces out there, you might want to rekindle an old flame or slide into the DMs of that recent social media acquaintance.

☀️ It’s the summer of changed climate, get used to it

These precious months before all the summer craziness, though, are best spent getting our mental health to its best and healthiest place so we can enjoy the year and reap the rewards of our journey, both big and small. 

The best way, I’ve always said, is to get a routine going; a habitual practice of something meditative, something soothing, or something altogether calming- whatever gets you to that place of zen. 

That could be spending every day, at 3 pm, having a living room dance party and blowing off whatever steam you need to get rid of. Or it may be a weekly therapy session, discussing even the most mundane details of your life so that there is no confusion as to where your thoughts are. 

Clearing our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies and all that comes with it- so whatever routine best suits you and your sensibilities, this newsletter is to remind you that it takes 30 days to fully implement a new routine into your day to day. And no step is too small to take!

Aries

Aries, this week's looking brighter than your future! But, seriously, don't try juggling a million things at once, or you'll miss the good stuff. Also, be extra careful when it comes to understanding your loved ones' intentions – we don't need any unnecessary drama, right?

As the week unfolds, get ready to tackle that long-standing issue that's been driving you nuts. But don't let the sweet taste of success mess with your judgment. Lock down that win before moving forward. As for new adventures, you might hit a few bumps along the way, but you're an Aries – you'll handle it like a pro! #AriesVibes #StayFocused

Taurus

Taurus, brace yourself for a chill week where self-care and reflection are the name of the game. But don't go drifting off into La La Land – keep those feet on the ground. Early on, you might struggle with some tough choices, but remember to lean on your past wisdom and maybe tone down that gut feeling just a tad.

As the week wraps up, the universe is giving you a high-five for all things practical. Why not spice up your day-to-day and give your closet a little love? You might also find yourself drawn to artsy stuff or creative projects. But remember, now's not the time for those deep, soul-baring convos.

Gemini

Gemini, heads up – this week's gonna be filled with sweet talk and some not-so-genuine compliments. Keep your wits about you and read between the lines when people shower you with praise. In the midst of all the chatter, you might just discover a gem of an idea.

This week, let your inner creative genius loose and think outside the box when solving problems. Trust us, it's gonna work like a charm, even in situations you know like the back of your hand. Ditch the humdrum routine and let your mind fly free. And as the week winds down, get ready to turn on the charm, because your magnetism will be off the charts – hello, smooth conversations!

Cancer

Cancers, prepare for a week where you might bump into a Debbie Downer who could throw a wrench in your plans. Put yourself in their shoes, and you could learn something valuable. Channel your inner psychologist and know that sometimes, holding back is the best move.

When it comes to love, tensions might flare up, but being willing to meet halfway can make all the difference. For the most part, taking a step back and letting things unfold naturally is the way to go. Keep in mind that true happiness and balance come from within, not just from what's going on around you. Give meditation a try to help you stay centered and find that inner zen.

Leo

Leos, watch out – this week's astro vibes might bring some sneaky plots your way. Be extra cautious when talking, especially about money matters. On the bright side, your energy levels are on the rise! It's the perfect time to start working out or kick a bad habit to the curb.

In your personal life, dear Leos, you can expect some positive shifts. Maybe your relationship with your significant other will heat up, family conflicts will fade, or your kids will bring a smile to your face. Just be sure to steer clear of touchy subjects and don't get too caught up in planning for the future.

Virgo

Virgos, brace yourselves for a week where your peace of mind might take a hit. You could find yourself dealing with lingering issues or unwelcome responsibilities. Remember, don't rush to say "yes" to everything that comes your way – there might be a hidden catch. Agreeing to something without fully understanding it could lead to some headaches.

This week's astro vibe is much more in tune with your usual routine tasks. Dear Virgo, it's a good time to focus on your finances and brainstorm ways to improve your situation. As the week wraps up, look forward to feeling uplifted by spending time with kids, cuddling with your furry friend, catching a great TV show, or browsing your go-to online sites.

Libra

This week, Libras, you'll find yourself prioritizing friendships and family matters. You might even feel compelled to help everyone, even those who don't ask for it. But, dear Libra, don't forget to take care of yourself. Your energy levels might be high, but they still need regular replenishing.

An intriguing opportunity may come your way as the week draws to a close. To properly evaluate its potential, take your time and seek advice from those with a wealth of life experience. As for the weekend, avoid making any major plans, as they're likely not meant to pan out.

Scorpio

Scorpios, this week brings favorable changes in your personal life, so make the most of every moment. Focus on the little things that create a comfortable and harmonious atmosphere. Once you've found that balance, you'll notice a decrease in family squabbles and an improvement in your overall mood.

As the week comes to an end, dear Scorpios, try to contain your excitement. Steer clear of risky endeavors, as they're likely to backfire. Instead, focus on smaller projects, evaluate your accomplishments, and plan for the future. Keep an eye out for small blessings from fate, such as a long-lost item resurfacing or receiving some uplifting news.

Sagittarius

This week, Sagittarius, the stars offer you a chance to succeed where others might only see obstacles. Short-term endeavors are likely to go well during this time. Embrace communication, as enlightening conversations or enticing offers may come your way.

Personal relationships, however, may be a bit more complicated. If you need to address a concern with a loved one, choose your words wisely to positively influence their mindset. A strong motivation to succeed and self-confidence are key ingredients for Sagittarius to thrive. As the week concludes, it's a great time to start a new diet or engage in other wellness activities.

Capricorn

Capricorns, this week you might face a sort of challenge. You could find yourself dealing with the fallout from past relationships or feeling the impact of a previous oversight. The best approach is to adapt to the circumstances – having a rigid plan isn't always the answer, as situations beyond our control can change things.

Don't hesitate to accept help from someone offering a hand – their gesture is genuine and doesn't necessarily require a favor in return. You might experience an unusual desire during this time; before taking action, carefully consider the potential consequences. Dear Capricorns, patience is key this week – wait for the right moment to make your move.

Aquarius

Aquarius, this week is brimming with joy and harmony for you. Embrace your good fortune and make the most of this time. It's the perfect opportunity to tackle pressing matters and excel in all areas of life. Inactivity, dear Aquarius, is like losing ground – so keep moving forward.

As the week winds down, you may encounter someone trying to undermine your natural confidence. Stand your ground and be resolute in your actions and words. This might be the right moment to make changes in your life, but remember to approach these transformations with caution.

Pisces

This week, the stars are aligning to fill Pisces' life with delightful experiences. During this time, you'll be able to find a creative solution to a long-standing issue. Favorable circumstances will encourage a positive mindset and a confident outlook on the future.

If you're single, an inspired mood will follow you, and you might make an intriguing connection on social media or receive increased attention from someone you're interested in. For Pisces in committed relationships, be aware of possible tension when communicating with your loved ones. Make an effort to identify and address any issues that could disrupt your harmony.

Aries

Hey there, Aries babes! This week is all about embracing positive vibes in your personal life. Make every moment count, and don't forget to pay attention to the little joys that make life oh-so-sweet. Spruce up your personal space to create a cozy haven, and watch as tensions with your loved ones melt away, making way for some seriously good vibes.

A word of advice, Aries queens: Keep your excitement in check towards the end of the week. Risky moves? Not your friend right now. Instead, focus on smaller goals, take stock of your achievements, and map out your fabulous future. Keep an eye out for life's little surprises – maybe a long-lost item will resurface, or some uplifting news will come your way. Cheers to a week of fabulousness! 💖

Taurus

Hey Taurus babes, this week is all about turning lemons into lemonade. You have a knack for finding opportunities where others only see problems. Whether it’s a side hustle, a passion project or a quick fix, you can make it happen in no time. Don’t be shy to chat up anyone who crosses your path. You never know when someone might spill some tea or make you an offer you can’t refuse.

But when it comes to your love life, things are a bit more complicated. If you need to have a heart-to-heart with your boo, choose your words carefully. You don’t want to hurt their feelings or push them away. The key to success this week is believing in yourself and your goals. And if you’re feeling like treating yourself well, this weekend is perfect for starting a new diet or wellness routine.

Gemini

Hey Gemini babes, this week is all about facing the music. Whether it’s an ex who pops up out of nowhere or a mistake you made at work that comes back to haunt you, you’ll have to deal with some challenges. But don’t worry, you got this! The stars say you need to be flexible and adaptable. Don’t stick to a rigid plan that might not work out. Go with the flow and see what happens.

And if someone offers you a hand, take it! They’re not trying to get something from you, they’re just being nice. You might also have a wild idea this week that sounds fun but risky. Think twice before you act on it. Gemini girls, your time to shine will come soon enough. Just be patient and smart for now.

Cancer

Hey Cancers, this week is all about good vibes and happy times. Don’t question it. Just trust the universe and enjoy the ride. You can handle anything that comes your way right now. The stars are telling you to go for it in every area of your life. Don’t hold back, because you’re amazing.

But watch out for some drama near the end of the week. Someone might try to mess with your mojo and make you doubt yourself. Don’t let them. Stand your ground and speak your truth. You might need to make some changes in your life, but do it with care and grace.

Leo

Hey Leo, this week is going to be awesome for you! You’ll finally solve that problem that’s been on your mind for way too long. The stars are shining bright and they want you to feel joyful and optimistic. If you’re looking for love, you might get some flirty messages or compliments from someone who’s into you. If you’re already in a relationship, be careful of some drama at home. Don’t let it spoil your fun - have an honest conversation and kiss and make up with your partner.

This week is also a great time to try something new and exciting. You have the energy and the confidence to go for it. Whether it’s a new hobby, a new look, or a new adventure, you’ll have a blast doing it. You’ll also attract some positive attention from people who admire your style and charisma. Just remember to stay humble and grateful for all the good things in your life.

Virgo

Virgos, this week is all about you and your vibes. You deserve some peace and quiet after all the drama you’ve been through. Use your free time to clear the air with anyone who’s been shady or sketchy. You know how to handle any situation like a boss. Just be polite and charming, and you’ll get what you want.

But don’t forget to treat yourself too. Midweek, you might feel like staying in bed and binge-watching your favorite show. And that’s totally fine. You’re allowed to be a cozy couch potato sometimes. Who knows, maybe you’ll get inspired by something you see on screen and come up with a brilliant idea for your next project.

Libra

Libras, this week is your chance to spice things up a bit. You can explore new things, learn something fun, change your look or declutter your space. Just be careful with your money, honey. Save the big spending for later and stick to your budget.

Later in the week, you’ll be a master of persuasion. You can make anyone see things your way with your charm and wit. You’ll feel happy and energetic. The weekend is perfect for working out and kicking a bad habit to the curb, if you have one.

Scorpio

You might feel like you’re losing your spark at the start of the week. Don’t let it get to you, girl. You’re still amazing and people will notice you again soon. The stars say this is a good time to get some clarity on something that’s been bugging you. If the answer is not what you hoped for, don’t worry. You can fix it with some hard work and determination. Later in the week, focus on your love life.

Things might get a bit tense at home, but don’t start a fight over it. Just chill and show your boo some love and respect. That will keep the peace. On the weekend, treat yourself to something you’ve been putting off for too long, like learning a new skill or reading that book you’ve been eyeing.

Sagittarius

You’re on the right track this week, Sag. Even if you have to tweak some things along the way, you’ll still rock it. Your happy vibes will make your loved ones happy too. The stars say one of them might help you out with something or surprise you with a sweet gift.

If you’re single and ready to mingle, this week could bring you a hot date. Just watch out for your tummy near the weekend. You don’t want to ruin your mood with some bad food or a cooking fail.

Capricorn

You’re feeling super energetic this week, Cap. But be careful not to waste it on the wrong things. Get some advice from people who know what they’re doing (especially in love). The stars are on your side and want you to find your happy ever after.

You don’t need to brag about your achievements. Success will come to those who keep it low-key. At the end of this week, take some time for yourself. Reading books and watching educational shows will do you good. And don’t be afraid to dream big. A little imagination will help you find your zen.good.

Aquarius

You’re a smooth talker this week, Aquarius. Use your charm to get things done and don’t procrastinate. The stars tell you to think outside the box. Even if one of your ideas sounds crazy, don’t forget it. You might need it later.

Your love life will take center stage in the second half of the week. You might have some drama or fights with your partner. But don’t worry, they won’t last long. Just stay cool and calm, Aquarius. That’s how you’ll win them over.

Pisces

This week is all about planning for the future, Pisces. You’ll have some things to do that need your attention. Use your skills and your gut feeling to get them done. Stay positive and confident, and you’ll rock this week. Your loved ones will have your back if you need them.

By the end of the week, you’ll get lucky. This is a good time to ask for something you want, get someone’s help, get paid back what you’re owed, or get a good loan from the bank. The weekend will be romantic for you. Don’t be shy and don’t hide your feelings.
