strange love: horoscopes for today's solar eclipse in aquarius
hi bb,
how are you?
I haven't done one of these in awhile. an actual moon. missive. writing to you on a new or full moon.
celine & i have been focusing on the print magazine (the quarterly. astro. JOURNAL. if you will)
(you can pre order the spring issue here. it's beautiful. release is on sunday, march 18.)
& i have been deepening my study & practice of (traditional) astrology.
But this Lunar Aquarian (me)
raised in an Aquarius home,
felt inspired
because today is a solar eclipse
a powerful new moon
in aquarius.
i wrote horoscopes! by sign! for the first time! they're a work in progress.
let me know if you like them.
let's see how they grow.

today, at 4:06 PM EST,
there will be a solar eclipse (a new moon) in aquarius.
this eclipse is a strange love.
a new moon with special powers.
new moons are always beginnings because they are always endings,
& this moon is especially both.
(it's alllllllllllllllllllllll a circle)
the love of the aquarius manifests in how much they see.
how much they understand.
how much they take in when you don't even know they're looking.
they only act when something must be done.
now is a wonderful time to purge.
but purge what's hard to purge.
not what's easy.
It's very easy to consume & to spread.
It's harder to act.
Pain can be chaos, but sit with it.
clean out the garbage so you have a clear path to action.
Make sure there is space to hear your instincts.
the future is here. Make room for it.
the age of air.
Just act.
No one will say thank you.
Act again.
****
what follows are horoscopes for each sign. if you know your rising sign, please read for that.
& then read your sun sign if you feel so inclined.
if you don't know your rising sign, reading for your sun sign is totally fine. there'll be something there <3
these are meant to be nuggets to chew. hopefully there's some bite.

Babe! you’re here!
you’re in the place you’ve wanted to be for a long time!
That’s fucking cool! Enjoy it. Who is swimming with you? Take inventory.
These are your new allies. How do they make you feel?
Also, notice who is still with you. If you know what I mean.
These are the people who aren’t going to leave.
you’re leveling up. Enjoy it. Make a wish. Step into the spotlight. Bask. You’ll be here for a minute. Give yourself the credit.
You’re in a nice pool, but remember:
you got yourself here.
The power is you.
Amongst great people you’ve found yourself because you are great.
Dream of where you’ll go.

darling bb,
Yr visions & yr philosophies are coming into focus.
I won’t say too much cause it’s already been said.
get that tarot reading & BUY THAT PLANE TICKET.
If you’re feeling pulled to do something off brand–– that’s probably a good thing.
You’re renovating your public image
& some of the textures might be surprising.
Even to you.
But…it’s funny the textures we don’t forget.
Some textures are forever.
Join.

gemini
you are on a trip.
you’re flying above all that has concerned (even tormented) you.
you’ve got a bird’s eye view.
& you’re laughing
(can you believe that you’re laughing????)
Finally, you can see the the entirety. The wild landscape of inevitability.
Can you believe who you’ve let control you?
Annoy you? Cause you anxiety?
Fuck them.
Forget must.
Give into power but also become it.
& also just take your vacation & take in the view.
Look at that mountain you climbed.
It looks so small from above.
Get ready for another.
It’s not actually tiny, but you’ll do it.
cancer
Take your desires to the sea.
you’ve lost something recently. A partner. A soul mate.
A ring. A job. Friends you never liked. A package from ASOS.
You’ve let them get the best of you.
You’ve given over a lot of your control.
Not even to them.
But to their imprint.
Cut off what isn’t serving you.
But make sure you get back what’s yours.
Get your stuff back, and then
Donate that stuff to Housing Works.
Make a routine of tidying yr heart.
Give yr nerves a mud mask.
You never know who might need a sublet or some office space.
You are yr own first & best partner. Do the work & yr joy will come.
(It’ll always be hard)
leo
you!!!!!!!!!
you’re learning to hold yr breath & lean in to who really completes you.
Like really completes you.
(not just anyone will do and you KNOW THAT NOW. wow!)
As the moon sets on this chapter
(you’ve escaped to Witch Mountain),
The sun rises on yr beauty.
Let your babe do your nails.
Wear heels to the grocery store.
Wear lipstick to the dermatologist.
Do your laundry with he good detergent.
Find the beauty in the mundane so that your light will never fade.
Hold onto the flame, let go of the altar.
virgo
You are spinning with possibility.
All you are meant to create.
Who you are meant to create.
Why you are meant to create.
You are tapped into your desires.
You are on fire.
If you aren’t, give in. Let it burn.
Exalt the tedious.
Make an art project of your daily routine.
Serve others so that you may give yourself a gift.
Paint yourself a poem.
Make it sweet.
If it makes you happy,
They’ll be happy.
How do you share your day?

Where do you belong? & why?
Right now, you might be feeling anchored to your most primal ideas of place.
This might be the place. But all the places feel wrong. Unwelcoming. Hard.
Not enough light. Or too much.
(Yr not stuck, yr loyal)
Places aren’t being kind to you right now.
Nowhere feels comfortable.
Nowhere feels like home.
Maybe cause everywhere feels like home.
Write about that.
You’re in your head, not your body
(which is just craving something soft)
Lean into yr creative powers.
(make something soft)
Make yourself a home in the bouquet of your labor.
Even if it isn’t perfect.
Do the rough draft.
Put it on paper.
Imagine the place. Live there.

home isn’t with everyone.
Who doesn’t feel like home to you?
I know you’ve know them forever and you’ll always be a little curious, but don’t go to to their thing. You don’t need. To go. To the thing. You’ll probably hate going. No one cares if you go except you.
On the other hand, who does feel like home?
Don’t pass on plans with someone who brings you joy just because they’re not in yr inner circle.
Drake in a way was right when he said, “No new friends.” But there’s someone (g)old with something to offer. Follow them into the dark. But bring a flashlight, please!!! Set a reminder about that. Keep yr channels open & alert. Broadcast the news. Expand yr reach. The journey yr on right now should be heard.You’ve got a lot to learn from the way you communicate. So do we.
sagittarius
I know you want the answer.
What isn’t the answer will be very clear.
The answer might not be in that small town,
a short train trip away.
But, take the trip.
You won’t find the answer.
But you will find treasure.
PS just fyi you are the treasure.
(deal with it)
(also) share!
share gently.
(I know it’s hard)
capricorn
You are feeling serious, my bb! About you things!
(I know it’s fucking humiliating. Vanity! But honestly, you love it)
Yr value & yr image are undeniably the things to care about rn.
Yr doing the good work on the details of you.
Remember!
Self Image & Self Esteem are not the same thing!
(Examine the toast.
Be sure to chew.)
You have all the tools you need to get what you deserve.
Check in with your deepest personal beliefs & ethics.
I don’t need to tell you not to follow the group into the dark.
But don’t follow yourself into the dark.
When you do? Laugh it off.
aquarius
You are floating in the institution.
You might be thriving.
But it’s time to have a lil fun.
The usual won’t cut it.
Shed your snakeskin.
See how much it sells for on Etsy.
Braid your hair.
It’s more fun when you’re actually there.
(There will be some consequences,
But it’ll always be a good story.
And remember that’s what you’re in it for.)
pisces
It's all about the big picture, bb.
Surprise!
Do a trust fall into the abyss.
Who is there to catch you will be obvious.
(Also who isn’t there.)
(Ties won’t be hard to break. Bridges to burn.)
What do you wish?
What dreams have you let go?
Yr new utopia
will always
contain the shadow
of yr (g)old utopia;
(PS there is no utopia)
Be grateful.
