Be Your Own Architect

Written by Alison Dunlop

Being a maker isn’t just about what you create with your hands, it’s about the way you shape your days. When you decide what matters, what to build, what to release, you become the CEO of your own life. I even have a chapter dedicated to this in my book Becoming You: A Roadmap to a Peaceful Soul. Every choice is a design decision, and you are the architect.

Capricorn Dec 22 -Jan 19

This month has the potential to be an emotionally charged month Capricorn, and I want to ask, are you the one causing this chaos? It is not a good time to be reactive, so I encourage you to go with the flow. You know life is just like the ocean, it ebbs and flows, so just ride the waves, and remember nothing is set in stone.

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18

I want to say, you can be very hard on yourself. This month, you are encouraged to move onwards and upwards. Your past does not dictate your future, so no connecting with old limiting patterns. Honestly believe in yourself and know your dreams are being manifested beyond your wildest dreams.

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20

I have a feeling things might be coming to a head in some way this month, because fiery emotions are indicated. Please keep the situation in perspective and don’t overstep boundaries. Having said that, it is truly an exciting time, because good things have the potential to surface.

Aries Mar 21 – April 19

Communication is highlighted this month, Aries. I feel you have a chatty personality, so if you are, be mindful that words have power, and for some of you, choosing fewer words to communicate is advisable. The good news this month is that job prospects look good, and also be on the lookout for someone flirting with you!

Taurus April 20 – May 20

November can be a magical month for you Taurus. A word of advice though, stop worrying about things that are out of your control, and that includes letting go of those old grudges. It is now time to move from living fearfully to living more joyfully. When you do that, the universe responds accordingly by sending good things your way.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

Ooh, Gemini, new moon and new start coming your way, and I just love new beginnings. It’s like you are closing a chapter and starting a new one in your life story. To do this, please release what you no longer need, as this allows good things to come your way, and these good things have the potential to manifest quickly.

Cancer June 21- July 22

I look at this card and think keep your eye on the prize. What does that mean? If you have your sights fixed on a goal or something, move past stagnation, and do what you can to stay on course. Sometimes if we are distracted or fall victim to negativity, we can lose sight of what you’re aiming for. Go for it, you’ve got this!

Leo July 23 – Aug 22

Have you been in a bit of a dream state Leo? I’m feeling it’s time to refocus and take charge of your life again. Something tells me as well that you may have a tendency to over analyse and be critical. Mmm, let that one go. Also, watch out for a possible good fortune coming your way.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sept 22

I want to say, you have fingers in many pies, and perhaps have been neglecting yourself. This month is a great month to rectify that, and take care of yourself. Positivity also surrounds a family situation, and this possibly is in regards to your children, or someone you regard as family. Spending time near water is also indicated for some peace and relaxation.

Libra Sept – 23 – Oct 23

The energy this month wants to bring you back to balance on some level. Perhaps you have been a bit unbalanced in your relationship. Well the cards say that relationships and negotiations are set to improve. Remember also to spend time doing what you need to make you feel balanced within yourself. It can be a calming time.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21

This month is destined to be a beautiful, promising time for you. Fresh energies are coming your way to help you reach your potential, and this is amazing. Effortless and free flow are words that come to me right now. Whatever you are dreaming of, allow this to unfold for you. Enjoy!

Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21

Apparently romance is in the air for you, Sagittarius. In fact, pairs in general are highlighted. This could mean, instead of trying to complete a task by yourself, asking someone to help is favoured. Partnerships should also be on an even keel and running smoothly too. Negotiations, and justice is also favourable.
