For 14 transformative years, #WeAllGrow has stood as more than just a platform—we’ve been a movement, a sanctuary, and a catalyst for change in the digital landscape. Today, we’re proud to announce that our beloved Amigahood community will continue its impactful journey under the leadership of the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement (HACE).

A Legacy of Transformation 

From our humble beginnings as Latina Bloggers Connect to evolving into #WeAllGrow, our mission has remained steadfast: creating spaces where Latinas find their power, build their dreams, and form unbreakable bonds. Together, we’ve redefined how Latinas heal, commune, and grow. Our summits set new industry standards, our advocacy opened doors previously closed to our community, and our collective voice reimagined what’s possible when Latinas rise together.

This transition arrives during a time of unprecedented socio-political shifts. As the most prominent Latina community platform, #WeAllGrow has stood resilient—both as a first line of defense against erasure and as a beacon of collective possibility. We’ve witnessed firsthand how DEI efforts face systematic dismantling and how corporate priorities shift, leaving mission-driven organizations like ours to shoulder both the responsibility and impact of these changes.

The Power of Partnership 

In this critical moment, when so many spaces for our community are being silenced or diminished, we find profound gratitude that HACE has stepped forward to shepherd Amigahood into its next chapter. Under the brilliant leadership of Patricia Mota, HACE will ensure our community continues to have a safe place to gather, pursue professional goals, access valuable resources, and nurture the meaningful connections that have always been at the heart of our work.

As Patricia Mota beautifully states: “Every day, we look for opportunities to elevate unseen talent. Amigahood is undeniably the right community to continue to foster within HACE’s Community.”

This partnership represents not just a transition but a powerful commitment to continuing the legacy we’ve built together. As an established nonprofit with deep roots in professional development, HACE brings their exceptional commitment to creating inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and talent within all our communities.

Honoring Our Journey 

At the heart of this journey stands our founder, Ana Flores, whose visionary leadership planted the seed that flourished into an ecosystem where thousands found their voice and purpose. Her impact on the digital landscape will continue to ripple for generations.

“I have been a part of HACE for years and invest my time as a member of the Advisory Council. Together, we have elevated voices through countless initiatives such as Latina Equal Pay Day,” shares Ana, highlighting the natural alignment between these two powerful organizations.

In 2022, Vanessa Santos joined as Partner and co-CEO, expanding #WeAllGrow’s reach and influence. Her leadership strengthened our community ecosystem and refined WAG’s signature model of creating safe gathering moments where Latinas could show up authentically and colorfully.

When faced with challenging decisions, such as canceling Weekend Fest in 2023, Ana and Vanessa led with unwavering integrity, standing in solidarity with hotel workers in Southern California—a choice that came at a cost but upheld our core values. That’s who #WeAllGrow has always been: a community that leads with purpose and principle.

What This Means For Our Community

For Amigahood members, this transition ensures:

• Your community home continues under HACE’s trusted leadership
• All your connections and groups remain intact
• New opportunities for professional growth and connection
• A continued commitment to creating safe, supportive spaces

Looking Forward 

While some chapters are ending, we celebrate exciting new beginnings:

Amigahood will continue under HACE’s leadership. Many more announcements will follow about this transition, but we’re thrilled that this vital community space will continue to flourish. HACE’s exceptional efforts to empower and uplift Latina professionals are creating a ripple effect, allowing individuals in the community to thrive at any stage of their journey. 

Join Ana on her thriving Substack community and publication for her continued wisdom, and stay tuned for her upcoming book Done With The Hustle (HarperOne & HarperCollins Español, 2026), a manifesto for women who don’t have the luxury to rest. Connect with her journey on Instagram: @anaflores_me.

Follow Vanessa as she pioneers a new era of belonging beyond traditional boundaries. Through unfiltered storytelling, she continues to challenge how we think about human connection in our digital age. Join her journey of exploration and community building here and on Instagram: @vanessasantosfein.

Though #WeAllGrow as an organization is transitioning, our collective impact lives on—in every connection made, every business launched, every dream realized, and now in the continued life of Amigahood under HACE’s stewardship.

True systemic change begins with you. This movement is not over; it continues in the lives we’ve touched, the spaces we’ve transformed, and the stories still waiting to be told.

To our beloved community members, partners, supporters, and team members past and present: Thank you for being the heart and soul of what we built. This isn’t goodbye—it’s transformation.

Join the Next Chapter 

Connect with HACE to stay informed about Amigahood’s exciting future and be part of this powerful next chapter in our community’s evolution.

Con amor eterno, #WeAllGrow

This is a zodiac season that emphasizes community and group efforts. Whether in career or in your personal life, this is the best time to rally the troops and organize a team oriented strategy to reach your collective goals. There’s an Aquarius new moon on January 29th, which can feel like a breath of fresh air. It will help lift any veils of deceit or illusions for many. Our recommendation is to bring your focus on rituals that help you tap into your next evolution. Aquarius is the revolutionist of the zodiac. It’s time for you to step into your highest purpose. What does that look like? 

As both Jupiter and Uranus turn direct smack dab in the middle of Aquarius season, we will feel the pace pick up in the collective. Energy that once felt stuck is now ready to move. This is a period of watching the seeds you planted in December, come into fruition. Now all you have to do is surrender and embody. Your faith will multiply this manifestation. And so it is.

Here’s what the stars have to say. Read on for your rising and sun sign’s Aquarius astrological zodiac horoscope to get in on the planetary party. 

Aquarius or Aquarius Rising (Jan. 20 – Feb. 17)

Happy Birthday to our Aquarius amigas! Your first house is being activated thanks to the Sun’s transit. This is a period of feeling extremely confident thanks to Pluto’s regenerative energy being combined with the Sun’s blessings being bestowed upon you. Pluto is the planet of power and the Sun is the planet of personal power. Together, you are energetically protected at this time, and have a lot of energy, enthusiasm and tenacity to set after your goals or to ask for your needs. This is a great birth year to begin new chapters in your life especially since you’re attracting a lot of attention and support. Anything you want, will literally work in your favor. Cease the moment.

Pisces or Pisces Rising (Feb. 18 – March 20)

There will be opportunities for you to focus on your material world over the next couple weeks as the Sun brings in favorable energy to your financial sector. You could receive unexpected money in ways like reimbursements, gift cards or from a loved one. You feel good about your financial habits this month as you buckle down on savings and debt. You might notice you’ve been overspending unconsciously or have unnecessary recurring expenses that need to be cut out. Either way, you’re pleasantly happy with your money matters for the month and will have a little extra to invest in ways that make you feel good. 

Aries or Aries Rising (March 20 – April 19)

You might find yourself curious about exploring nearby small businesses or supporting your local shops and community this Aquarius season. You’re feeling chatty and excited to invest back into your hood. The month is going to end on a very busy note for you as you fill up your schedule with invites and events to socialize with those you care for. This is a great month to plan outings especially if you’re coming out of a hermit period where you didn’t do much social engagement over the last year. A community cause near and dear to you will have you pouring a lot of effort into it and will manifest as something very fulfilling. 

Taurus or Taurus Rising (April 20 – May 20)

As a Venus sign, you love comfort, security and relaxation. While the rest of the zodiac sign is out and about engaging in the chatty Air sign energy, you’re feeling the contrary. You might find yourself preferring to staying home and declining invites to go out. You’re not necessarily in an anti-social mood. You’re seeking stability and creativity this month instead. This is a great period to find inspiration within your immediate environment like your home or office space. Preserving your energy and managing how you extend it will help you in the long run this month because you’re very focused on introspection and personal growth. 

Gemini or Gemini Rising (May 21 – June 20)

You don’t want to take this month seriously at all. You’re feeling free spirited and want to seek out playful experiences with others. You might want to refrain from saying, “yes,” to anything that feels burdensome at this time. This zodiac season encourages you to prioritize flexibility within how you navigate the weeks ahead so you can explore new curiosities or passions. Try to insert playful moments in your mundane routine in order to keep this energy alive. 

Cancer or Cancer Rising (June 21 – July 21)

Maybe it’s the energy of the New Year, but Aquarius season has you extremely motivated to make the necessary changes to prioritize your overall well being. The Sun in the sky is highlighting your house of health, wellness and routine. However, this won’t feel daunting, and it’s a wonderful time for you to make significant commitments. In fact, whatever regimens you apply not only towards your physical health, but towards your work routine as well, they will last you through the year and won’t fizzle out.   

Leo or Leo Rising (July 22 – Aug. 22)

You’ll achieve much more this month if you allow yourself to lean on your support system. This can extend into your professional life as well as your personal life by tapping into your resources and asking for help where you might fall short. You are guaranteed to feel more empowered this month if you allow yourself to interdependently lean on a friend, family member, peer or lover. There’s a lot of strides you’ll make by doubling your efforts if you allow yourself to receive. For those interested in love, your romantic sector is receiving a healthy boost from Aquarius season, and it’s a harmonious month for love. Say yes to that date!

Virgo or Virgo Rising (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)

It’s a month of organizing your finances, taking stock of your shared resources, and exploring areas of life where you want to feel more in control of. From a healthy perspective, you want to feel like you’re being intentional in areas you might have forgotten to prioritize or that you’ve neglected. Aquarius season is inspiring you to get organized, and get serious about where you feel out of sorts or where you feel you lack clarity. You might come off as overly stoic this month, but that’s because you’re focused on transformation and progress. It’s onward and upward this month, Virgo.

Libra or Libra Rising (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)

You’re feeling the need for spontaneity this month. The Sun in Aquarius is activating your house of adventure and optimism. This is providing you with a boost of positivity and a lighthearted approach for the month, but it’s also veering on the edge of being distracting for you. This is a month of balancing – as you are the literal representation of the scales of balance among the zodiac sign, both freedom of expression, and tangible reality. It might serve you to plan some time off, even if that’s just a random day off of work so that you can express this energy through a random travel trip or vacation. 

Scorpio or Scorpio Rising (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

There’s a sense of determination and pride seeping in this Aquarius season. You, specifically, are emphasizing how you connect with the outer world and the status you’ve achieved up until this point in your life. You might find yourself inspired to tap into your naturally ambitious nature when it comes to your career. You’re very focused on building a legacy at this time. You’ll find yourself very successful in said matters, if you allow yourself to be flexible and move out of outdated limiting beliefs when it comes to your approach towards expansion. 

Sagittarius or Sagittarius Rising (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20) 

Aquarius season is lighting up your social sector. You could go viral online or maybe you’re attracting a lot of new followers on social media thanks to a new social group you’ve joined. If you’re not online, you can anticipate Aquarius season to strengthen your current friendships, and you might feel inclined to make new friends throughout the weeks ahead. You’re feeling overall very excited for the month, and might notice you’re gaining popularity among a group.

Capricorn or Capricorn Rising (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19)

With Mars retrograding opposite your sign, you could feel a deep need to speak on matters that mean most to you and you’re ready to fight for your core values. You are using this emotional period of revolution to hone in on your bigger mission here on Earth. Aquarius season is a shared sign that Saturn rules, which is your planetary ruler. Therefore, you generally thrive every Aquarius season. You might want to explore water rituals such as spiritual baths and cleansing by the Ocean or a river in order to release pent up energy. This is a zodiac season where you are not afraid to speak your truth, and we’re loving it for you!

Capricorn season can present us with a “no-nonsense” and matter of fact attitude as we navigate the tailend of 2024. That’s because its ruling planet Saturn provides a rooted approach to knowing what you want and how you want it. This is a period to focus and get clear on what you’re manifesting, yes. However, Capricorn season can sometimes be a zodiac sign that takes things a little too seriously. Find the perfect balance by also making time to be lighthearted. Surround yourself with those who help you unleash your playful spirit because it will provide a much needed relief from Caprciron’s burdensome nagging voice of continuously reminding you of all the things on your to-do list. 

The Capricorn New Moon on Dec. 30th arrives in time to help us all collectively press the reset button as we close out the Gregorian calendar and bring in the New Year. Try prioritizing new moon rituals that help you ground to Pachamama (Earth). Capricorn is an Earth sign, and thrives off a practical, and cautious approach to life. You can perform hikes, planting or gardening or physical movement of the body to root your rituals. This is the best new moon to center career related goals or objectives since Capricorn governs the professional sector of Astrology. It’s always all work, and hardly any play with Capricorn season. 

It’s not necessarily the zodiac season to take huge leaps of faith. It’s more of a season to build upon what’s already functioning or successful. It’s about adding on, and not subtracting. 

Let’s get into specifics. Read on for your Capricorn season horoscope for your sun sign and rising sign. Also, remember to tag us on social media with your hot take on your Capricorn season horoscope.

Aquarius or Aquarius Rising (Jan. 20 – Feb. 17)

Capricorn season is coming in clutch with the game plan and the win when it comes to tackle your finances. You might have felt like it’s been a year-long journey of reframing your perspective around money wounds and your relationship to karmic worthiness, because it has been with Saturn transiting your second house. Mars retrograde is activating a harsh reality in your 8th house of debts, literal or symbolic, and bringing in an inquisitive mind around what’s really worth you investing in. It’s not a time to overspend or take out additional loans, because the focus should be around eliminating the waste. Instead, focus on any avoidant tactics you have around negative or positive feelings towards your relationship with money.

Pisces or Pisces Rising (Feb. 18 – March 20)

This Capricorn season, you’re revolutionizing your view on wealth. You could feel inclined to test out a new means of making money, and it might potentially land to be a gold mine. It’s a period of getting brazen and inventive around your expansion with your wealth building. The strides you make at this time within this capacity are better off being rooted in a belief system around your access to said emotional security within the financial capacity. It’s not a time to make reckless moves, but it’s a moment working in your favor to test new streams of income or dip into the pool of curiosity around other unconventional methods of money stacking.

Aries or Aries Rising (March 20 – April 19)

Our guess is, you’ve been plowing through the year focused with diligent intent. So much so, you’ve likely neglected your inner world like the structure and tending of nurturing your most intimate relationships such as family, friends and household responsibilities because much of your time has been geared towards parasocial perception. Capricorn season is providing a harsh reality check to those of your rams who haven’t put in the effort to keep the home in a functioning order. It’s a great time to fix that leaky faucet once-and-for-all, or to stay in and plan a staycation the rest of the year, especially to create grounded quality time with those who matter most within your heart space. Slow down, don’t be afraid to pull your energy back in fear of missing out of spinning the continuous mental loops of needing to feel validated by what you achieve. You’re naturally great, and your blessings won’t pass you by.

Taurus or Taurus Rising (April 20 – May 20)

Although Capricorn season is ruled by the cold and nonchalant planet Saturn, it’s bringing the warmth and cuddles in your romance sector. This is as shocking to us as it is to you. Finding love during Capricorn season runs parallel to Rihanna’s hit single “We Found Love,” because literally Capricorn is not the first zodiac sign you think of when it comes to embracing letting your guard down and exploring romantic vulnerability. But, hey! Miracles can happen. You could experience a renewal in love with an old fling or current love partner and see the relationship evolve into something more serious – now that sounds like Cappy. If you’re ready for new love, you’ll have plenty of options, but one in particular will take up most of your time, and it’ll be worth entertaining. This is a zodiac season of play and pleasure for you.

Gemini or Gemini Rising (May 21 – June 20)

You’re closing out the year with a deeper understanding on what your wellness approach to life looks like. This is a wonderful time to restart and reset in the mind, body and soul sector. You could find much relief in your spiritual pursuits along with prioritizing the needs of your physical body. You could feel deeply inclined to explore a new method around fitness or wellness, and Capricorn season will give you the dedication needed to maintain the frequency you desire around this new routine. You might notice an uptick in your workload, and if you’re a business owner, you’ll be productive and business with positive outcomes that progress the goals of your company. Go with the momentum, take time to pause when needed, but, there’s a lot of good coming your way with work and career. Yay! 

Cancer or Cancer Rising (June 21 – July 21)

This is the best time to form new alliances. If you’re curious about exploring new business partnerships, Capricorn season is bringing a blessed approach to those ideations. You might find a professional partnership begins paying off. This applies to both those who are self-employed or who have an employer. However, not without a cost. Capricorn season is ruled by Saturn. And, Saturn always once something in equal exchange because it’s a transactional planet. Therefore, “to whom much is given, much is required,” and you might need to work a little overtime at the end of the year in order to feel like your head is above water so that you can feel like you’re at a good place at the start of the New Year. There is temptation to be on the verge of burnout at this time if you’re not prioritizing slowing down and your self-care tips.

Leo or Leo Rising (July 22 – Aug. 22)

Capricorn season is bringing forward profound depth. As we approach the Winter season, it’s a time of hibernation, and death within the world of nature. Symbolically, you’re being urged to tap into the stoicism of your philosophical mind. You’re re-envisioning and rebranding your self-perception, your life, and you could feel an unmasking that’s helping you unravel into your truest desires or needs. This is a time to retreat, and listen as you go within. Be okay with putting up healthy boundaries and going ghost in order to explore this longing from within to finally put yourself first. Your needs must be met, in order to pour into the many coups you’re already catering to.

Virgo or Virgo Rising (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)

One word: devotion. You are becoming deeply devoted to yourself. Capricorn is a serious energy, and you might notice your personality shift into a comforted sense of confidence as you become secure with who you’ve bloomed into this year, and how that’s going to influence the life you’re manifesting in 2025. This is a zodiac season for you to capitalize on prioritizing your spiritual philosophies, learning new skills, or just by simply going to the bookstore and purchasing self-help literature. You’ll feel a polarity pull to meander and not want to feel so restrained by anything that feels forced or limiting as well. Honor the call to say no if an ask of you feels like it comes with restraints or harsh transactional expectations. Allow yourself to flow for now.

Libra or Libra Rising (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)

Incoming: a boost in social or career status for all you Libras. This might come your way in an unexpected manner. Consider this as a cosmic gift from the Universe, brought to you by Capricorn’s acknowledgement of your serious efforts you’ve committed towards your professional strides. This might look like a word of praise from peers or a person in a position of authority, or it could manifest in the appearance of a promotion or financial bonus. Hooray! You are one of the hardest working signs of the zodiac, and you don’t receive much clout around that notion because Capricorn, your Cardinal cousin, seems to overshadow everyone in that department. Your hard work is literally paying off. Now go indulge in some holiday cheer. 

Scorpio or Scorpio Rising (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Maybe it’s the holiday spirit, but you’re tapping into the collective energy of spreading good karma this time of year. You could feel deeply inclined to give back to others who are less fortunate, and this doesn’t have to shape up to be in a financial exchange, although it doesn’t rule it out either. Capricorn season is encouraging you to help others within your means, and when it feels aligned from a space of unconditional love. There will be much to celebrate among your social circles as well. You’re plenty busy with invites for gatherings because folks are pretty fond of you at this time. Take advantage of this boost of charisma that Capricorn season is spraying upon you because it’s like a fragrance helping you attract your desires. You’re a magnet for your desires at this time. May you manifest wisely.

Sagittarius or Sagittarius Rising (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20) 

You might be coming out of a period of introspective isolation and possibly unpacking an inner child wound of how you project this notion of not feeling included or abandoned. Capricorn season is giving the energy of coming out of your cave and walking away from an incubation period where you’ve been hermiting in safe solitude so that you can step into a new path of empowerment. This is a period of feeling ambitions, and you’re tapping into a determined energy now that you have a clear sense of direction on your next steps. You went through a period of allowing an old identity phase out. Cheers to your butterfly era. 

Capricorn or Capricorn Rising (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19)

Hello, birthday babe! ‘Tis the season for rockstars, and we’re happy to announce that life is about to get so much better and abundant for you. Cappy, now that Pluto has left your zodiac sign for the rest of eternity – well, at least until the next 200 years when it returns, which in that case, who knows where your spirit will be in this vast Universe, you are homefree from the strenuous hazing Pluto has had you undergoing since 2008. This birthday season might feel lighter, and possibly blissful, and you can anticipate 2025 to be your year. This is a time to get serious, literally that’s easily done for any Capricorn because you’re the most serious sign of all, about what you’re ready to embrace and experience the year-ahead. For many, your career sector can experience new opportunities, and entrepreneurs can expect business to boom.

It’s certainly not a common occurrence. This makes for an interesting stop-and-go cosmic game of bumper cars. When Mercury is in Sagittarius, it’s not feeling so confident because it has to perform at a higher octave that meets the standards of Sagittarius, and Sagittarius is used to Jupiter’s abundant and exuberant energy. Therefore, making Mercury feel constantly judged, less than and awkward. This Mercury retrograde might make you feel like your ideas are all over the place, and you can’t seem to explain yourself as eloquently as you might be used to or would like. Practice thinking before you speak at this time as well. 

This is a great month to watch your reactions and triggers, because you could feel easily agitated. Much of that is due to a Mars retrograde in Cancer that starts on Dec. 6th. Mars in Cancer wants to shout and cry simultaneously whenever it feels misunderstood or abandoned. There could be minor disputes among peers, the workplace or some that directly affect you due to this transit. The best advice is to certainly express how you feel, but with a simultaneous Mercury retrograde happening, self-soothe and regulate before you act on impulse.

The Sagittarius new moon offers a fresh approach filled with optimism and enthusiasm on Dec. 1st. You can expect a lot of motivation and momentum thanks to a positive boost by Mars in Cancer creating a trine to this new moon. Yes, we’re experiencing two retrogrades this Sagittarius season, but the Sagittarius new moon is an exception to the rule when it comes to going forth and starting something fresh. It’s time to manifest!

Let’s get into specifics. Read on for your Sagittarius season horoscope for your sun sign and rising sign. Also, remember to tag us on social media with your hot take on your Sagittarius season horoscope. 

Aquarius or Aquarius Rising (Jan. 20 – Feb. 17)

This is a month of communication, contracts and research for you. If you’re doing any online dating or online job hunting, you could have tons of options headed your way. There could be a revival or refinement in information needed when it comes to completing significant agreements – especially legal or professional. Be sure to read the fine print or ask for a second set of eyes if you have to sign major paperwork this month. You might catch an important discrepancy. This is a great month to learn a new skill or take up a new hobby. This is a time where you’ll gain much from slowing down, meditation and journaling to stay grounded or organized, because things are about to move fast for you. 

Pisces or Pisces Rising (Feb. 18 – March 20)

There could be a deep yearning for emotional intimacy with others thanks to Mars in Cancer retrograding, but the new moon is also activating a powerful opportunity for you to receive emotional reciprocity from others. You’ll likely want to be a homebody this Sagittarius season. Your mantra this month? Rest, rejuvenate and prioritizing your peace. Plan a weekend in and reorganize your living space to really harness the energy of this new moon. Basically, you won’t feel like you have much energy to give to others, however, you’ll feel really inspired to invest back into yourself around this time instead.

Aries or Aries Rising (March 20 – April 19)

It’s a season of rendezvous, romance and play. We are loving this for you, amiga. You could feel like you’re manifesting from a deep place of feminine power, which is confidence and flow. In turn, this is inviting many people, experiences and abundance into your vortex. Your lighthearted energy is magnetic, and you could really attract a lot of opportunities this month that feel divinely aligned. You’ll likely want to spend a lot of time pursuing your hobbies this month or launching a business, or building your current business. In love, singles, expect a love offer, or a few. Those in commitments, love is looking really good this month. Have fun!

Taurus or Taurus Rising (April 20 – May 20)

You’re closing out the year feeling like a powerhouse with this Sag season. The Dec. 1st new moon is welcoming tons of inspiration around implementing new routines, and new mindsets to help you stay organized or on track towards your big goals. It’s a good time to revisit or restructure your approach towards your everyday approach, but also, anything around living a healthier lifestyle that supports your overall wellness. Whether that’s through nutrition, mental health or spirituality, you’re thriving this zodiac season, and feeling like you’re invigorated. It’s a good time to be a Taurus.

Gemini or Gemini Rising (May 21 – June 20)

Do not settle this month. If you have the opportunity to negotiate for something better, go for it. This can apply to all areas of life. Those who are business owners, you could pitch yourself to collaborate or partner with other third parties that feel mutually aligned. It’s a powerful time for business. You could experience great success around finances and any efforts around leveraging your business pursuits. Love, romance and marriage are up for discussion as well. An exciting reconciliation from an old fling could come back, and it’s up to you if you want to welcome the past or not. If you’re happy in a current connection, the two of you could plan an exciting trip or date to get that spark going.

Cancer or Cancer Rising (June 21 – July 21)

It’s time to focus on your resources and leverage your network or contacts. It’s always no until you ask, right? As the most nurturing sign of the zodiac, you give so freely, because you love hard without expectations. Now, it’s time for you to receive it. Allow yourself to accept support, whether that’s just someone to vent to, or you reach out and get financial support in some sort of capacity. Any shared resources you seek will shape up to work in your favor. If you need to apply for a loan, or need some credit to be able to balance or invest into your business or home life, you could get a greenlight and receive the monetary gain you need. 

Leo or Leo Rising (July 22 – Aug. 22)

You’re feeling adventurous thanks to this new moon. As a fire sign, you’re no stranger to spontaneity, but you are a fixed-sign as well. And, fixed-signs have a good head on their shoulders who like to take a measured approach to life when needed. You have a good balance to you, Leo. If you’ve been tied up recently being hard at work, this is your invite to do something that brings you pleasure. This can look like a spa day, a weekend trip, or simply attending a concert solo. Please make some time for yourself, Leo. Pouring back into you, is the biggest blessing you can give to your loved ones. And so it is. 

Virgo or Virgo Rising (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)

If you’ve been searching for a new career opportunity, you’re in luck. Sagittarius is the ruler of good fortune and luck. This new moon is bringing in prosperity in your career sector. You could land a new job, or work opportunity after tons of let downs. If you’re not looking to land something new or exit a current standing, this could also manifest as positive recognition from your employer in regards to your outstanding performance. Those in the public eye, you could unexpectedly receive a boost in social status or go viral online. There will be tons of attention and admiration for you this season.

Libra or Libra Rising (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)

There could be the formation of a powerful new alliance that makes you feel like you’re making great strides. There will be a lot of focus around your friendships, they’ll feel comforting and soothing. Maybe you’re going to be plenty busy attending everything you’ve penciled into your social calendar, but your friends will also be coming in to provide you with much needed support and fun. If you’re making new friendships, expect these to bloom into long lasting connections that feel like they’re part of your soul tribe. Equally, you might have to end a friendship that has run its course because Mars retrograde in Cancer is helping you release stagnancy around misaligned friendships.

Scorpio or Scorpio Rising (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You are undergoing a huge karmic clearing and spiritual releasing this Sagittarius season. Don’t worry it’s not heavy, babe. It’s quite liberating and you’re going to feel like a huge weight has lifted off your shoulders this month. Your patience however, will be very thin. If anyone or anything feels too overwhelming or is presenting as an additional burden to deal with, you’re not entertaining that whatsoever. You’re not looking to add more stress to your plate, because you definitely have a lot going on this month. Therefore, kindly, let people know what your expectations, boundaries and limitations are. That would help you refrain from unnecessary conflict that could arise with Mars retrograde in Cancer.

Sagittarius or Sagittarius Rising (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20) 

Happy birthday to the most vivacious sign of the zodiac, you! Mars creating a positive trine to the new moon happening in your sign on Dec. 1st is making you the luckiest zodiac sign of the month. You could finally receive the financial or spiritual support to make a drastic change in your life like transition into a better job or make a significant life choice that will help you feel more confident. This is a really powerful solar return (birthday) for you. You might want to perform a cord cutting ritual with people, limiting beliefs or situations that you could feel have kept you in a karmic loop. You’ll likely consider prioritizing your needs and will feel unapologetic in the process, which makes for a very self-empowering month. Your energy will be infectious.

Capricorn or Capricorn Rising (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19)

Pluto has exited your sign after a 16-year transit rocking your world and creating monumental life lessons. You need a spiritual break to say the least. Sagittarius season could feel like a huge celebration of sorts. You might find yourself to be very nostalgic and reflecting on how much you’ve persevered. This is a time where you’ll have a lot of focus on relationships both business and romantic. With Mars in Cancer, opposite your sign, you might want to purge like an emotional waste basket as you could feel like you’ve reached your emotional bandwidth and you need to release. This is a month best spent focusing on your money goals as you could attain great progress in such an area.

Happy Shopping!

Scorpio governs the organs of procreation, and this is a season where you can anticipate fertility symbolically, but also quite literally dependent on your goals. What desire resides deep within your heart and deep within the womb space? What are you birthing in the now? Allow Scorpio season to cradle your secrets out of the dark and into the light. 

Scorpio season welcomes you with a new moon on Nov. 1st, which makes a pleasant trine in the sky to Saturn. This is the perfect new moon to start projects or initiatives that you had considered hard or that require much effort on your end to persevere through. This is a new moon that will help you feel prepared to conquer obstacles and will make any prior adversity that stood in your way, an obstacle of the past. Go for it, amiga. 

On the 11/11 portal of Nov. 11th, a fun and creative boost can occur for you as Saturn and the moon will be conjunct (sitting side-by-side) in the sign of Pisces. This is a powerful numerology day to consider by engaging in spiritual or artistic rituals, particularly any that allow you to practice stillness or by communicating with your ancestors. It is the season of the muertos, afterall. This is a great day to lean into the divine feminine energy of inspiration and awaken the mantra of “I receive, therefore I am abundant.”

The ruling planet of Scorpio, Pluto, will make a momentous transit back into Aquarius where it will sit for the next 20 years marking its journey back into the Air sign on Nov. 19th. The week of Nov. 18th and the day of Nov. 19th are days you might want to consider exploring unconventional ideologies and gaining inspiration from the Aquarian theme of “thinking outside of the box” when you approach both professional and personal matters. 

Let’s get into specifics. Read on for your Scorpio season horoscope for your sun sign and rising sign. Also, remember to tag us on social media with your hot take on your Scorpio season horoscope. 

Aquarius or Aquarius Rising (Jan. 20 – Feb. 17)

You’ll be feeling a huge shift this Scorpio season thanks to Pluto transiting back into your sign where it will stay for the next 20 years. You could feel a deep inner knowing that your life is about to change drastically – if it hasn’t yet already, but in a deeply empowering and exciting way. This is a month where you will gain not only divine insight from your spirit guides, but you will know without a doubt the direction you need to steer your life in. It’s a month of feeling confident with your authentic self. Your aura is also captivating, and you could come across a new soulmate or be asked out in the romance department. Orale!

Pisces or Pisces Rising (Feb. 18 – March 20)

This is a month where much of your focus will be directed to your business if you’re a business owner, or you’ll be tied up with work matters and won’t have much time to spare for your personal hobbies. As much as it might be tempting to neglect making time for play because work is calling, it’s highly advisable you don’t do that. Your plate will be plenty full this Scorpio season. However, you will benefit tremendously by setting a healthy work-life balance and making room for your passion project(s). Children will be a major theme of inspiration. You could feel a deeper connection to your childlike spirit, or if you have children in your life, they will teach you a valuable life mantra, and they’ll be a spiritual teacher for you at this time. 

Aries or Aries Rising (March 20 – April 19)

If you’ve had recent fears or phobias around health matters, or maybe that of someone close to you, this Scorpio season is clearing the air and bringing you positive news. On the other hand, this is a time where you might feel like you have no control over your health, or rather, you need to gain control of your health. This could range from having better quality or sleep or, finally starting a supplement routine to nourish the minerals in your body. Regardless of how you tailor this motive, health is front and center Scorpio season. Remember amiga, health is wealth! 

Taurus or Taurus Rising (April 20 – May 20)

Scorpio season is bringing the spice to your love life! It’s time to insert some fun and sex into your life if you’ve been too busy for your sacral chakra (the energy center of pleasure and our sexual power). Try incorporating rituals that allow you to feel sexy in your own body. This can look like buying new lingerie or practicing self-pleasure manifestation rituals to increase your personal connection to the divine. These rituals will also help your creative flow, and you can anticipate a burst of creative downloads at this time. .

Gemini or Gemini Rising (May 21 – June 20)

You might find yourself becoming the keeper of secrets this Scorpio season. You will have a natural healing presence that is captivating many, and you could find yourself giving counsel to strangers and friends alike. Trust you are providing advice from higher realms of consciousness and you should consider sharing your loving consejos when you are met with the chance to do so. In a more practical sense, you might need to revisit old notes, or invest in a new course, education system or reconnect with a mentor in order to refine your craft and skill set. Don’t get too hard on yourself as you grow through new extensions of your self-mastery.

Cancer or Cancer Rising (June 21 – July 21)

You’re activating a deep passion for learning this month. You might find yourself interested in the obscure and occult. You could be intrigued by particular and niche subjects that are peaking your interests and allowing you to explore the inner investigative mind within. If you’re into magic, astrology or the witchy parts of life, you could decide to learn about these arts more objectively. Scorpio season is helping you tap into how you view yourself from a perspective of depth and appreciation. You are realizing how interconnected you are to source energy, and you will notice synchronicities more than usual this month. Also, this is a great time to perform offerings to your ancestors and ask for blessings you need their help with.

Leo or Leo Rising (July 22 – Aug. 22)

You are being viewed as a powerhouse this Scorpio season. You are being admired in the professional sector as well. You could come across an important insight that helps your team or department better unlock new possibilities. You could also uncover some hidden truths, maybe in relation to your personal life or in regards to something at work that’s been neglected. You’ll have the cosmic task with needing to present this information for the greater good. This will work in your favor. The truth always prevails, and intentions matter. You are spiritually protected at this time. 

Virgo or Virgo Rising (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)

This month inquires you to center your partnerships in your life. Especially in business and with professional alliances. You might find you need to cut ties with business partnerships that have run their course. This could look like letting go of outdated programs or platforms that need to be updated by new technology like AI or that could be spruced up by improved integrations that perform better workflow. This could look like transitioning out of a job or into a new area of expertise. This is a month to pivot, exit or explore. Much of your success this Scorpio season comes from how you collaborate with your resources. 

Libra or Libra Rising (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)

You’ll be facing a lot of unconscious fears head on this month. It might feel big and scary, but there is no doubt you will push through and experience exponential growth and pride for how much you’re challenging yourself to evolve, heal and learn. We want to say in advance, we are proud of you amiga! You’re facing the unknown and you might cry while you do it, but you’re going to do it anyway. There’s some good within this Scorpio season as well. You’re uncovering a deeper form of intimacy with your emotions. You’re transcending old patterns and exhibiting high levels of emotional intelligence. It’s a period of deep spiritual growth, and you’re accessing new psychic abilities as well. It’s time to let go of any lingering trauma bonds.

Scorpio or Scorpio Rising (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Happy birthday season, Scorp. We hope you are thriving and shining, because you are deep down inside, everyone’s inspo. You are the dark feminine, the black cat energy, lilith and a walking embodiment of power – of course you’re going to mirror back to others where they need to step into their own power! This birthday season in particular is filled with karmic rewards. Saturn daddy is making nice activations to your new moon on Nov. 1st, and you can expect long overdue justice or prosperity. Any ancestral curses or blockages of the last 16 years are now clearing for you. You will feel lighter this birthday season, so, bask in this glow, baby girl.

Sagittarius or Sagittarius Rising (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20) 

You might find yourself spending sometime this Scorpio season cutting cords, and closing chapters – especially with friendships and social circles. You are moving away from the superficial, and ready to receive more depth in your interpersonal relationships. Transactional relationships don’t thrill you, and you could put some serious pressure on those around you to level up or orbit out. You might find yourself to be extra serious, focused and determined throughout the month. Make room for play, because you are a fire sign, and you need that in order to feel balanced. But, you’ll make great progress this month and could attain some serious recognition.

Capricorn or Capricorn Rising (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19)

November is one big sigh of relief for you, Cappy. Congratulations, amiga! Why? You’ve completed 16 years of growing pains and are officially done with karmic cycles that put you through tests that have required your attention by learning how to set boundaries and practicing self-love. You are gaining a deeper connection to your psychic abilities this month and you could be receiving visitations from the ancestors through your dreams this month as well. This month, you might want to focus on taking the pressure off yourself. Literally take a day off this week if you can, or do something unorthodox to let loose like joining a fun dance class or attending an improv show.

Then, something shifted. Gaby realized that self-love—the kind we often forget to give ourselves—was just as important. She decided to keep the appointment, a decision that would ultimately save her life. That mammogram detected breast cancer early enough for Gaby to take action. And she’s sharing her story to empower all Latinas to take charge of their health and understand the importance of early detection.

For many Latinas, accessing quality care and early detection is more than just a health issue—it’s a matter of overcoming systemic barriers. Hispanic women are often diagnosed with breast cancer at later stages than white women. Many face challenges such as language barriers and lack of access to insurance.

Tip #1: Understanding Dense Breasts

One of the critical factors in breast cancer detection is understanding breast density. Women with very dense breasts are 4-5 times more likely to develop breast cancer than women with less dense breasts. Gaby, who has dense breasts, encourages all women to learn about their breast health and the steps they can take to protect themselves.

Good news for women with dense breasts: New regulations are empowering women with more information about their breast density and what it means for their risk levels. You can learn more about these updates from Susan G. Komen’s resources here.

Tip #2: Staying Active During Treatment

Another revelation Gaby experienced during her breast cancer journey was the ability to continue her professional activities while undergoing treatment. Many patients believe that cancer treatment requires a complete halt to their everyday lives, but that’s not always the case. Gaby’s doctors advised her to remain active, and through strategic scheduling, she continued traveling, delivering keynotes, and maintaining her commitments, even while going through chemotherapy.

Gaby’s story illustrates that resilience is not just about surviving the battle—it’s about thriving through it.

(Click here to view Gaby on stage during her treatment.)

Tip #3: Embracing the Beauty of Resilience

One of Gaby’s most profound messages as a Susan G. Komen ambassador is that there is immense beauty in resilience. Breast cancer survivors often experience physical changes, whether temporary or permanent. However, Gaby encourages all survivors to honor themselves and embrace their bodies at every stage of the journey.

“There’s beauty in resilience,” Gaby says. “Love yourself at every stage, even when you look different from how you started.”

Steps to Take Charge of Your Health

As an ambassador for Susan G. Komen, Gaby Natale offers these essential steps for all women—especially Latinas—to prioritize their breast health:

1. Schedule Your Mammogram

Don’t delay. Regular mammograms are key to catching breast cancer early. If you’re 40 or older, or if you have a family history of breast cancer, it’s time to book your appointment.

2. Know Your Risk

Talk to both sides of your family to learn about your family health history. Knowledge is power, and understanding your risk factors can guide your health decisions.

3. Get Educated About Dense Breasts

If you have dense breasts, ask your doctor about additional screening methods that may be appropriate for you.

4. Stay Active During Treatment

If you’re diagnosed with breast cancer, talk to your doctor about staying active. Maintaining your normal routine as much as possible can be beneficial during treatment.

5. Celebrate Your Resilience

Embrace every stage of your journey with self-love. Your body may change, but your strength, courage, and beauty only grow.

Gaby Natale’s story is one of courage, self-love, and resilience. It serves as a reminder that early detection is an act of love. If you or someone you know hasn’t scheduled their mammogram yet—make today the day.

Let’s continue the fight against breast cancer by educating ourselves, supporting our community, and taking action.

Together, we can create a future where breast cancer no longer claims lives.

The Reality Check

In 2023, only 1 in 4 C-suite leaders is a woman, and a mere 1 in 20 is a woman of color. For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 76 Latinas receive the same opportunity. Perhaps most staggering is the wage gap: Latinas earn just 57 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. These numbers aren’t just disheartening; they’re a call to action.

Throughout my career, I’ve encountered countless stereotypes and biases. There’s a pervasive myth that Latinas are domestic and lack career ambition – a notion that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, studies show that Latinas are just as ambitious as their white male counterparts. Yet, these stereotypes persist, creating invisible barriers to our advancement.

I vividly remember a pivotal moment in my career that crystallized the challenges we face. I was in an executive role at a major financial technology company, about to present an innovative payment app to the leadership of a Latin American gas station empire. As I walked into the boardroom, I was acutely aware that I was the only woman in a role that didn’t involve being a receptionist or serving coffee.

Before the meeting began, the head of the company slid a notepad in my direction, saying, “So you can take notes.” Time stood still for a moment. Here I was, the product lead, surrounded by men who reported to me, being mistaken for a secretary. I smiled – because in these situations, we always have to smile – and said, “Thank you, but that won’t be necessary. I’m giving the presentation. This is my team, and I am the head of product.“

The look on his face was priceless, but what really struck me was the reaction of the two women who had come in to take our coffee orders. The surprise and elation in their eyes made me realize that this moment wasn’t just for me. It was for every woman who’s been treated like the note-taker, the party planner, the organizer without ever getting credit for her work.

“The surprise and elation in their eyes made me realize that this moment wasn’t just for me. It was for every woman who’s been treated like the note-taker, the party planner, the organizer without ever getting credit for her work… When Latinas lead, everyone wins.”

The Latina Advantage

What many see as baggage, we should reframe as our toolkit. Growing up as a first-generation Latina, the eldest daughter in my family, I felt the weight of generational expectations. Little did I know that managing the chaos of my childhood would prepare me for managing chaos in business.

Our ability to navigate multiple cultures, communicate across divides, and weather seasons of hardship aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re superpowers in the corporate world. We are the true KPIs of success – and I don’t mean Key Performance Indicators. We are: Key Assets, we Perform whether under pressure or with ease, and we help Indicate culture. Latinas are a driving force in our economy and decision-makers in our households and immediate networks. Therefore making us the ideal candidates to lead and nourish teams.

I’m Making A Business Case for Diversity

The business case for diversity is clear and compelling. Companies with diverse executive boards enjoy 95% higher returns on equity. Diverse teams are 70% more likely to capture new markets. It’s not just about fairness; it’s about driving innovation and boosting the bottom line.

In today’s global marketplace, the ability to understand and connect with diverse customer bases is crucial. Latinas bring a unique perspective that can help companies tap into new markets and better serve existing ones. Our cultural fluency and adaptability are invaluable assets in an increasingly interconnected world.

Charting the Path Forward: What can we do to change the narrative and create more opportunities for Latinas in leadership? Here are five actionable steps:

1. Create visible, actionable pipelines for Latinas from manager to C-suite roles. This means actively identifying high-potential Latina employees and providing them with the resources and opportunities to advance.
2. Foster sponsorship programs where leaders actively champion Latina talent. Mentorship is valuable, but sponsorship – where leaders advocate for and create opportunities for Latinas – is crucial.
3. Encourage salary transparency to close the wage gap. When we shine a light on pay disparities, we can begin to address them.
4. Implement cross-generational mentorship programs. This allows for the exchange of knowledge and experiences across different career stages, benefiting both mentors and mentees.
5. Recognize and value the unique perspectives Latinas bring to leadership. Our experiences and cultural backgrounds are assets, not liabilities.

To my fellow Latinas: Your voice matters. “Calladita no te ves mas bonita.” Speak up, advocate for yourself, and lift up your amigas. Your success paves the way for generations to come.

To allies and decision-makers: Look at your current team. Where can you elevate Latina talent to help achieve your goals? Give us a chance, and watch your organization thrive.

The future of business isn’t just diverse – it’s Latina. Let’s build it together. Because when Latinas lead, innovation flourishes, perspectives broaden, and businesses thrive. It’s time to shatter the glass ceiling and create a new paradigm of leadership – one that reflects the rich diversity of our world and unleashes the full potential of Latina talent.

Libra season is helping the collective wrap-up eclipse season with the final Solar Eclipse of the year on Oct. 2nd. Eclipses are periods that prioritize rest and introspection because they’re meant to catapult the next phases within one’s journey without you having to do much partitioning on your end. Therefore, dedicate the week of Oct. 2nd by minimizing stress and making room for flow because oftentimes, eclipses can bring about unexpected events that aren’t necessarily bad, but you need to grab the opportunity when it comes and capitalize off the moment. Also, plan for saving data and important information, eclipses are powerful events that can sometimes glitch technology or put your computer into a fritz. Yikes! 

We have some exciting news for you, amiga. Pluto is exiting its retrograde and will turn direct this Libra season on Oct. 11th. What should you do with this information? Take a look at where you’re at in this era of your life dating back to 2008. Pluto began its transit in the sign of Capricorn back in November of 2008, and you’re closing out a 16-year cycle with this planet based on where you have Capricorn in your birth chart. This is huge, because you’re undergoing a spiritual graduation and are about to enter the next monumental blessings in your life. This is a period of resting in your laurels, regenerating and planning for your future goals over the next 20 years now that Pluto will soon enter Aquarius and sit there for such a duration. 

Let’s get into specifics. Read on for your Libra season horoscope for your sun sign and rising sign. Also, remember to tag us on social media with your hot take on your Libra season horoscope. 

Aquarius or Aquarius Rising (Jan. 20 – Feb. 17)

You’re reaching popularity and you’re gaining a lot of attention this Libra season. We love this for you, Aqua. You’re so unique and naturally innovative, therefore, it’s no wonder people are gravitating to your creative self-expression. This Libra season is strengthening your friendships and bringing in harmony among the way your peers perceive you. Don’t be surprised if people are inviting you out to lunch or wanting to help give you a leg up in life. Just embody the art of receiving and watch your aura glow.

Pisces or Pisces Rising (Feb. 18 – March 20)

You could gain a lot of positive karma this zodiac season by taking your health seriously. Meaning, if you’re interested in seriously elevating your quality of life, do it. Whether that’s by implementing better sleeping patterns, or sticking to healthier mental health strategies – anything that has to do with influencing your mind, body and spirit in a positive way will pay off at this time and provide you with tremendous results. Cleaning up your workspace or home is a great place to start. This will help declutter your mind and welcome a new mindset.

Aries or Aries Rising (March 20 – April 19)

Libra season is bringing your love life to the forefront. Relationship or marriage is top of mind, and this is a period where you’re reviewing how fulfilled you feel in that department. There could be a karmic ending to a love situation, and depending on the approach, this could either help the relationship evolve or demolish it. In business, there’s equal focus on investing in new alliances. Perhaps it’s time to amicably split from a business partner or business venture, and in such a case, trust it’ll all work out for the highest good of all involved. 

Taurus or Taurus Rising (April 20 – May 20)

Love seems to be a hot topic for many signs this season, with good reason. For you, it’s certainly not a situation you can sweep under the rug, Taurus. There could be the exposing of a secret that makes its way to you, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be in regards to someone else. This could be the revelation of a newfound insight you want to honor and recognize about your authentic self. This is also a period of pouring into your cup and marinating in self-love.

Gemini or Gemini Rising (May 21 – June 20)

You could find yourself rocking a new approach to life. As an air sign, you’re naturally an open minded individual. Yet, this month you’re broadening your view on life in terms of how you see the world-at-large and your role within it. This is a time to explore other cultures, travel and find inspiration abroad. You’re tapping into the wanderlust and having fun while you’re at it. For those who have to stay rooted and aren’t able to escape their daily routine, this Libra season asks you to explore your relationship with the spirit realm. It’s a great time to try a new meditation technique, take a stab at astral traveling or reconnecting with your spiritual practice. 

Cancer or Cancer Rising (June 21 – July 21)

You’ve been working hard all year, Cancer. We know it, and we see it. Now that 2024 is coming to an end, you’re being encouraged this Libra season to assess how emotionally fulfilled you feel in your career. As a Cardinal sign in the zodiac, you’re naturally ambitious and a driven personality who really gives everything their all. But, as a Water sign, you need to feel an emotional connection to the areas of life you give so deeply and freely to. The spotlight is on your profession at this time. Re-evaluate how you can prioritize work-life balance and find a new spark for what you do.

Leo or Leo Rising (July 22 – Aug. 22)

There’s a humanitarian cause that could come across your path that really sparks a passionate quest to personally get more involved in. Your inner altruistic persona is a prominent forward facing version of self that’s ready to take the lead this Libra season. You could find yourself deeply invested in helping others at this time, no matter how large-scale or mundane it could come across, you’re feeling a longing to make a difference – and you will. It’s a time to give rather than to receive. And so it is.

Virgo or Virgo Rising (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)

You’re having a wake-up call and it’s time to look at your life’s review. Libra season calls you to bring balance and harmony within yourself first and foremost. It’s time to settle with how you’ve been your own worst enemy or tormenting yourself. This could be through the victim mindset or the self-sabotaging self, and acknowledging those versions of self so that they may no longer hold you hostage from embracing a lighter embodiment of self-acceptance. You will feel the need to retreat and be alone, and that’s okay.

Libra or Libra Rising (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)

This is the start of a new chapter in your life, and not only because it’s Libra season – oh, and hbd Libra sun signs, but there’s a huge Solar Eclipse in your sign this month. A Solar Eclipse is a new moon phase that brings powerful beginnings. You are in your rebirth era, and you are in your glow up season. There’s nothing you can’t manifest at this time because the cosmos are blessing you with the midas touch. If there’s one word of caution, it’s be ready to let go. This is a month to perform release rituals and cord cutting ceremonies for you. 

Scorpio or Scorpio Rising (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Scorp, you’ve been hard at work all year. You’ve likely taken on new responsibilities in life, and have really applied yourself to making progress in reaching your goals. This Libra season is asking you to take a seat, and lounge. It’s time to invest in leisure and pleasure, because you deserve to do so. You will notice things calming down for you this month, and that opens room for you to take advantage of prioritizing your self-care. Beauty rituals and money rituals will do well for you at this time as well.

Sagittarius or Sagittarius Rising (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20) 

This is a zodiac season of basking in gratitude for you. Saggy, you’re taking a look around and noticing how blessed you are. This Libra season is reminding you of all the amazing platonic relationships in your life, especially if you have siblings. Maybe you’ve been too serious and matter-of-fact lately, this Libra season is hitting you with a hard dose of a reality check reminding you to be kind, lead with empathy, and spread love when you can. It’s a season of expressing how much you appreciate the people and relationships in your life in the here and now, and to be more present. 

Capricorn or Capricorn Rising (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19)

You’re heavily focused on your emotions and the foundation you’re building for your future. Cap, you’re no stranger to setting goals, executing a vision and taking life seriously. Here’s where Libra season comes in with a lighthearted energy that this air sign boasts best, and helps you feel lighter when approaching the many tasks or burdens you’re carrying. You will be focused on family, your heritage and your home environment. It’s a great time to reconnect with your loved ones so you can take a break from being a Jefa 24/7
