Astrology is an enjoyable, lighthearted pursuit. Yet, our fascination with the cosmos knows no bounds, as we eagerly seek to glean insights from the stars. Here at Për Në Skin, we share a profound curiosity about the celestial realm. We had the privilege of collaborating with Hannah at Shankastro to explore the cosmic narratives that unfold above us this month.

Self-care for the Signs

ARIES: this month take some rest from action and do some journaling on the Venus summer retrograde that ignited passion and creativity. Create new affirmations that will minimize your self criticism, and note what comes up that feels like healing.

TAURUS: embrace an art form that makes you feel connected to yourself without any expectations. Visualize yourself letting go and just existing in the beauty of creating. Shed old stories you’ve told yourself from childhood that limit you and step into a new story of identity.

GEMINI: What messages have you been receiving about your deepest desires? Perhaps you are up for trying sex magick with a partner or solo. Or maybe you are looking for new ways to express your needs on paper. Tap into your intuition and apply it to your words in the form of poetry, a narrative or even a business plan.

CANCER: this month is a time for you to release anything in your home, physical or energy wise, that is keeping you feeling stuck or unaligned. Passionate expression of self will be ignited so take a deep dive into your ocean of desires and find a way to display what you discover in your home.

LEO: it’s time to apply your insights and lessons learned about worthiness and self love, and manifest it into abundance. Quite literally, buy a money tree, write down intentions of self love, owning your truth, and career aspirations and plant them into the soil.

*Make sure to do this before the 14th!*

VIRGO: treat yourself to an adventure this month. Your ruling planet Venus has challenged you the last few months on seeing your unhealthy patterns in relationships and with yourself. Why not take yourself on a trip to see new sights as you step into a new chapter of loving yourself? Add another stamp to that passport!

LIBRA: happy solar return! Libra is notorious for being all about “we” but what about ME aka your subconscious self? It’s time to shed in order to make space for YOU. Take a solo trip in nature for some meditation or find a silent retreat and allow the quiet to allow space for your inner voice.

SCORPIO: happy solar return! Let go of any efforts you’re giving that aren’t being reciprocated. You are starting a new cycle of self acceptance and stepping into your authentic self. Reenergize your routines with something new that makes them feel invigorating, like a new coffee or tea for your morning, or a new detox mask to your skin care.

SAGITTARIUS: Tune into what brings you the most joy. The intuitive messages will be coming in hot for you, so incorporate ways to clear your mind in order to receive them. Boxing, hiking, or even a sauna/cold plunge session will help you stay centered and open to receive.

CAPRICORN: Shed any obligations that aren’t serving you, so that new opportunities that will help you level up can take center stage. Be bold, be you. Treat yourself to a new fall wardrobe that reflects your new sense of professional self, and show it off at a dinner with friends at the new hot spot.

AQUARIUS: this month you are encouraged to be kinder with how you talk to yourself or judge yourself. Find a podcast that encourages you to be positive and supportive when it comes to your shortcomings. Unwind to your favorite music playing loudly through your speakers as you visualize your kindness to yourself growing. Perfection doesn’t inspire growth, but dedication to working on yourself does!

PISCES: reciprocity will be the theme of this month for you to observe you and your relationships. Prioritize taking care of yourself and your body while insights reveal themselves through gut feelings or even dreams. Find essential oils & crystals that promote confidence and self-reliance, draw a bath and create an experience that strengthens your spirit.
