A lil insight for the new year as you step into 2023

Capricorn

This year Cap, you are taking control of your life! You’ll have the energy, enthusiasm and experience to accomplish whatever you set your mind to. You’re not only blazing trails for yourself, you are inspiring and leading the way for others. You get frustrated with the way others move but just remember thats only when you sit back and allow them to guide the way. This year go under, fly over or step around! Blaze your way and light the path for the folks that have been holding you or themselves back.

AQUARIUS

This year for you is ALL about new beginnings. Cut off what isn’t working, let go of people, places and things that no longer serve you to open up the door to what is next for you. Stop holding on out of comfort, familiarity, fear or laziness. Shed that extra stuff whether it’s people, physical things or emotional baggage. Time to let things go so you can spread your wings. You aren't afraid of much, time to act like it!

PISCES

This is a year to challenge yourself Pisces. No wishy-washy behavior. Get focused and determined and make stuff happen. Travel… not just to Atlanta- think Portugal or Senegal! Think bigger! Take the lead in the situation and in your own life! Be prepared to for unpredictable outcomes and be a little unpredictable yourself. You weren't maent to live in the shadows.This is your year to boss up.

ARIES

Your focus this year should be balance Don’t overspend or force yourself to go without Balance how you play, how much you work, how you live and how you think. There will be some days that you feel like you don’t have enough and some where you feel like you can splurge and do whatever Don’t fall into either Work on finding balance in all things regardless of external circumstances. With balance comes peace and you need some of that this year. Whether it means learning to budget or starting to meditate- seek balance and then when the world is swirling around you, you’ll still be able to maintain that peace.

TAURUS

You are a lover of beauty and comfortable things. But you sometimes get caught up in so much that you miss it This is a year to create, to nurture, to love yourself and grow It’s a year to cultivate art, business and ideas. Don’t rush too much though, this is a time to feed seeds before they fully bloom. Birth things. Also don’t be afraid to open your mind and heart to things that you misread or were wrong about You love to grab an idea or thought pattern and ride it whether it's working for you or not. Give yourself the grace and gift to reevaluate what you may have misjudged and missed out on. You know you aren’t always right, but you’ll sometimes just continue on the path because you don’t want to admit you were wrong or just because it seems like you already went too far to turn back. But each time you do that, you are selling your life short. Be willing to change directions and change your mind

GEMINI

2023 is all about pulling your head out of the sand and facing challenges head on. It’s time to remove the rose-colored glasses and see the real You’ll get faced with disagreements, conflict, discord and general blockages but that isn’t a bad thing. This year is meant for you to see who you really are, what you really want, what chaos really exists around you- face it and push through! The more you can face problems head on, the more resolution you'll find. If you face your shit this year, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for you and they are BEAUTIFUL!

CANCER

Your word for 2023 is success! You have the ability to really generate alot of wealth and material things this year. The key is to stay humble and be generous. You will have the kind of success that can not only benefit you, but that you can share with people around you That can look like donations, giving of your time to mentor or teach or help support folks in need. This energy around you isn’t meant to be hoarded or feed your ego. Its blessings given to you so you can lift as you climb and help make your whole circle stronger by the benefit of your wealth and wisdom Be the King you are (and thats for ANY gender)

LEO

This year for you means CHANGE. You are completing a cycle. Take a little time to catch your breath, reflect on lessons, search your soul for where you want to go next and prepare yourself to take a leap into all new ideas, relationships and opportunities. Do NOT allow yourself to stagnate. You are assured success and accomplishments but you gotta keep it moving towards them. Manifest the life of your dreams and then go out and chase it!

VIRGO

Virgo, you have done some really heavy lifting over the last couple of years. You’ve done the work. Digging in buried corners, tackling hurt, trauma, getting real with yourself, looking at all the causes of your overworking, codependency, unhappiness, low selfesteem and non-reciprocal relationships. You’ve eliminated the people and things that don’t deserve you but you’ve also taken accountability for not only what got you in those situations but why you stayed in them for so long You took risks, leaps of faith and let go of things very dear to you that were toxic. And your reward is a really, really good

year. Your prayers, manifestations and big moves will grant you a great year of fruition. Happy family, happy home, celebrations, great surprise, abundance, success, recognition, building the roots and consistency that you thrive off of and the universe is conspiring with you to bring it all your way This is a year to keep building, because that's what you do, but also to smile more, laugh more, chill and enjoy it, celebrate and be proud of your very dope accomplishments!

LIBRA

This year will be a year to gain perspective Libra You will usher in a change or gaining of perspective that was probably brought on by a real disillusionment with the present. Things aren’t going right, don’t feel right and you find yourself feeling a bit depressed, overwhelmed and somewhat abandoned. But that is mostly due to you really getting caught up in circumstances. Those aren’t things you can control but they are also not a punishment. Anytime you feel stagnant or unhappy its because there are all new beginnings just over the horizon Your job this year is to come out of the fog of disappointment in order to be willing to see all the beautiful, joyful and fulfilling things coming your way. That time of darkness was ushering in the growth of greater future contentment and depth. If you’re honest, the things you are grieving weren’t emotionally fulfilling. They didn’t really make you happy. So make sure in 2023, you don’t get stuck looking backwards, or being sullen and looking down at your feet when if you can just look up- there a whole new beautiful world waiting for you at the horizon And its filled with the things you were asking for before you got distracted with the things that have more recently been taking all of your energy and attention

SCORPIO

2023 is a year of truth. It is a time to find the truth in you, others and situations. You’ve been looking through a bit of fog and it is lifting fast and furiously so you can see clearly There will be breakthroughs and much more objective thinking But it also requires you to communicate clearly and be honest with yourself and others. This is a time in your life where all kinds of new things are waiting to come in for you. New love, new money, new opportunity but you first have to see the truth and be honest about where you are. You have been existing in miscommunication, arguments, confusion and hostility. But that comes with not being honest with yourself and others and not seeing or saying the truth because you don’t really want to There is a whole new world out there for you One that is fulfilling and healthy The only one that is keeping you from it is you

SAGITTARIUS

Sag, your word for 2023 is crossroads. You may have felt or you will feel soon that you’ve hit a fork in the road It may being stuck between to major and scary choices, two different relationship or job opportunities or even two people in your life pulling you in different directions No one can make that choice but you. But understand the reason you are in that position is because you have the ability to be a leader and make those difficult decisions. Start believing in yourself more and knowing that you are no longer the kid looking for advice, support or suggestion- you run this and have every ability to guide your life exactly where you want it to go next. There is nothing but success and prosperity ahead of you So rely on you and step into the light where you belong
