Shifting (and a lil witchcraft)

a s t r o l o g y

you may or may not believe me, but your star sign does play a big part in your ability to shift. as someone who is OBSESSED with astrology, i'm here to tell you the best way to unwind according to your star sign, as well as how easy it should be to shift-coming from a Taurus

this chapter contains:
your star sign according to your birthday
how easy it should be to shift, based on your star sign
the best relaxation methods for your star sign

A R I E S (march 21-april 19)
Aries is not only a hot headed fire sign, but it's the first sign in the zodiac wheel, meaning it loves a challenge (and usually ends up first) which is why shifting may come easily to an Aries, but, as a fire sign, Aries can also be impatient, so any longer shifting method will bore an Aries easily.
as a sign who enjoys to be in control and has so much energy balled up inside, the best way for an Aries to relax is either by partaking in a short, high energy workout or by doing some yoga

T A U R U S (april 20-may 20)
possibly the most grounded of the Earth signs (making Taurus the most grounded sign) a Taurus isn't particularly fond of drastic change, which may make it quite difficult for a Taurus to disconnect from this reality.
however, the Taurus is incredibly stubborn and will not stop until they get their way, and Taurus is actually quite artistic, which makes visualisation much easier.
as a sign who prefers to do nothing, the best way for a Taurus to relax is meditation or crystal healing

G E M I N I (may 21-june 20)
as an Air sign, Geminis have a tendency to be a little in their own world, and are constantly on the go, which is why shifting usually comes easier to them than most other signs.
however, as the sign who is seen to be most 'social', a Gemini's mind is constantly whirring, which is why it's difficult for a Gemini to destress.
the best way for a Gemini to find peace and relax is just to do some simple breathing exercises to clear their heads

C A N C E R (june 21-july 22)
Cancer, a notorius water sign, is probably the sign that is most in touch with their emotions, which is one of tbe most important aspects in shifting.
in order to shift, you need to turn off the left side (logic) of your brain and let the right side (emotion) of your brain take over, which is why a Cancer should find it easier to shift than the other water signs (Pisces and Scorpio).
Cancers tend to be quite chilled and relaxed anyways, and they enjoy spending time by themselves, so something like a walk to nowhere in particular with their favourite playlist is probably the best way for a Cancer to unwind

L E O (july 23-august 22)
Leos. those crazy, hilarious, fiery socialites. Leo (represented by the Lion) has two extremes: the Aries-like social butterflies who love the limelight, or the Cancer-like friend who is always looking out for you.
Leos are always down to try something new,  which is why shifting would come easily to them, but the fire sign in them is impatient and may get irritated easily, so
the best way for a Leo to relax is to create their own mini spa day all for themselves
 
V I R G O (august 23-september 22)
Virgos are similar to a Taurus as they are both Earth signs who are complete perfectionists, but where a Taurus doesn't get stressed often, Virgo, ruled by Mercury, tends to over-analyse situations, pulling out all of the risks.
luckily for a Virgo, shifting is entirely safe, meaning all they need to do is relax and shifting will come as easy as breathing.
the best way for a Virgo is with aromatherapy and something artistic, such as sketching (you don't have to be good at it!)

L I B R A (september 23-october 22)
Libra, an Air sign like Gemini, tends to be fairly level headed and is known to be the calmest of the zodiacs, with the perfect balance of logic and emotion, Libra's are probably the smoothest shifters in the zodiac, and the
best way for a Libra to relax is to journal out their thoughts and feelings

S C O R P I O (october 23-november)
despite seemingly being the most closed off star sign in the entire zodiac, Scorpio, as a water sign, is actually quite emotional, they just don't like to show it. being in touch with their emotional side makes shifting easier, and, like its Taurean counterpart, the
best way for a Scorpio to relax is through meditation (preferably with incense)

S A G G I T A R I U S (november 23-december 21)
Sagittarius' are probably biggest daydreamers signs in the zodiac, and they are fire signs who possess a lot of flair. a Sagittarius is fair minded and loves freedom, which is a good thing for shifting, but they lack patience and hate detailing things, which may be why they struggle to shift and script
the best way for a Sagittarius to relax is by dropping everything to go and travel somewhere, similar to Cancer, just for a change in environment

C A P R I C O R N (december 22-january 19)
Capricorns are notorious hard workers, often "biting off more than they can chew" without realising it, but their work really drills them to the ground, which is why shifting is one of their favourite escapes, they are so self motivated that shifting either comes as easy as breathing or as difficult as breathing underwater
like Taurus and Scorpio, the best way for a Capricorn to relax is with some mediation, with zero responsibilities to worry about

A Q U A R I U S (january 20-february 19)
Aquarians are highly idealistic and creative but, just like Capricorn, they tend to wear themselves out easily which can make it more difficult to shift-in order to shift, you can't be exhausted, otherwise your right side brain turns off before the left.
the best way for an Aquarius to find some peace is by taking a technology break, even for just half an hour

P I S C E S (february 20-march 20)
as the last sign in the zodiac, Pisces tends to be relatively submissive and easygoing, which makes them the dreamers of the zodiac (second to Sagittarius) which is a good sign for smooth shifting
Pisces best relax by doing something artsy or creative with some music on (which also helps to stimulate the right side brain)
