February has a lot of swords energy in it! So there’s bound to be challenges of opinion, radical decision making, and people taking a stance. SOme of you may be swept up in at and a few of you may be fighting against it! Read on to discover how you can be best prepared to set new intentions for all of your relationships as queer men.
ARIES | 4 Swords, 2 Cups
Ah, Aries. Now is the time to prepare before you step out on your own. It’s the moment where all the information you’ve been collecting settles and you’re ready to take your next step. Sometimes this is a length of time and other times, it’s an intake of breath. Either way, prepare and commit.
Shadow: emotionally investing in relationships has been a struggle in the past. You always let go so quickly. What if you take this time to settle in and reflect on the feels as your act of preparation?
TAURUS | Ace Swords, 7 Wands
You’re in good company this new moon, Taurus. There’s a lot of sword energy swirling about. Try and remember everyone is at a different point in their journey or you might find yourself picking a fight. Just because you’ve finally made a decision about what’s best for you doesn’t mean everyone else will want to come along or come back to join you.
Shadow: You may be just fine pushing ahead on your own, and there’s ways to make it easier for you. If you can recognize that everyone has their own thing going on and just focus on you, you’re winning this round. (Sure it’s all around you and annoying, let it go)
GEMINI | 10 Swords, Moon
It’s a new dawn, Gemini. You might not be able to see how everything is going to work out right now, but at least you’re putting what hasn’t worked behind you.
Shadow: This is a powerful time for you gemini. Set intentions for where you’d like to be and focus there. It can be easy to get lost in the feels and overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment. Shift the narrative.
CANCER | Page Pentacles, Magician
Cancer, you often spend so much time looking inward that you just might miss why that’s so important. Well, now it’s time to take what you’ve learned about yourself and put it into practice. It might feel clunky at first. That’s ok. You’re testing out how to engage your feels in the real world. It only seems wobbly. More than likely, you’re steady as a rock because of your past effort. Settle in.
Shadow: Sharing your emotional awareness is magical. It’s like weaving a spell in front of everyone else. Sure it’s scary. But it’s your super power.
LEO | 8 Swords, King Wands
Leo, imposter syndrome is something you create. It’s a lifelong block for you. Take a cue from Cancer and just start. At the very least, if you can be aware if your self-sabatoge, you’ll be able to start reversing the trend.
Shadow: This is an amazing time, Leo. To have your true self reflected as your shadow as you are living your actual shadow. It’s all reversed! Mindfulness is the key to turning this all around.
VIRGO | Death, 3 Wands
Virgo, Keep your eyes peeled for spiritual signs that indicate change is surrounding you. Once you start to see them, you can’t unsee them. Then you’ll be able to prepare for the change that is about to come. Knowing is half the battle.
Shadow: Careful you plan for the change you wish to see in the world. Not that which you are told should be. This may take some effort. It’s so easy to follow the the “rules.” Well, this time you’re making them. You will be connected to Scorpio during this time. If you didn’t know, they’re great sounding boards. Find the Scorpio in your life to help work out that plan.
LIBRA | 7 Swords, 6 Pentacles
Libra, your actions are a cry for help. Or at the very least, attention. There’s no justice here, just revenge. Are you sure you’ll get what you want most?
Shadow: Being available to give more of yourself when you’re feeling like you have to take more is one of the hardest lessons to learn.
SCORPIO | Ace Cups, 9 Wands
Scorpio! “What is this feeling so sudden and new?” Don’t worry about figuring it out! Ride the wave. Enjoy the feeling…of feeling! New love seems to be on the horizon. Squueeeeee!
Shadow: Naturally, you’re going to want to put up your defenses and protect yourself from getting hurt. But isn’t that always the thing that fucks it all up?
SAGITTARIUS | 8 Wands, 9 Pentacles
Sagittarius, taking a trip in the time of a global pandemic may be unwise. But it all depends on how you do it. A virtual excursion could keep you safe and you’d still get to travel. Explore during this new moon. What have you already done that you can now take further?
Shadow: Careful you don’t get stuck in a rut doing the same thing over and over. It doesn’t expand your horizon. Shoot for something new!
CAPRICORN | 3 Pentacles, 5 Wands
You’re no stranger to work, Capricorn. Make sure you’re not doing it along. Especially when it comes to relationships. They require us to engage with others! You can’t solve a relationship problem alone.
Shadow: Fearing confrontation (or pushing against it in a negative way) isn’t going to help you grow.
AQUARIUS | Knight of Cups, Page Wands
Aquarius! Looks like you just might have a love interest. At the very least, plan something romantic. Don’t wait, get started!
Shadow: Your uniqueness is to be celebrated. Let it out in your romantic gestures. Try it out! Stop holding back. Holding back only frustrates you and then everyone else.
PISCES | Queen of Swords, Knight Swords
Pisces, time to tamper your emotions and do the right thing for yourself and others. The decision is up to you.
Shadow: This will be one of the hardest points of your life. To step out and take action based on what you believe in. But once you get going, it’s a non-stop ride.
