Your Daily Tear Away Horoscope
SPEAKER_00Your Daily Tear Away Horoscope by Camden Rose February first The new month dawns upon you. With Mercury and Venus by your side, forget the transgressions of the past and grow into the awakening of the new. Take chances, discover truths, and live without regrets. Mantra of the Day Forgetting is growing february second Focus your energy on social obligations today. Friends need your help, and in return they will introduce you to someone who will change your life. If you give your energy to your friends and to your daily horoscope as the Moon gives tides to the Earth, you will be rewarded. Mantra of the Day Friendships and Horoscopes are give and take february third form new relationships and take a chance on those who have been drawn into your orbit. You're an equinox to Saturn, twisted with Neptune created to be guided by those around you. Be prepared and excited for a new adventure. Mantra of the Day New People New Me february fourth There are big changes ahead of you. People you have recently met will guide you through it. Celebrate what you have, and don't hesitate to text him first. The sun is at your back, lighting your way. Mantra of the Day I'm not desperate, just actively seeking. February fifth. Mars and Mercury are aligned, and just as they are bound to each other, you'll find your new relationship is bound to past ones. Ignore the similarities and focus on what you can do this time. With each new love, you will learn more about yourself. Now is the time to commit. Mantra of the day I don't have a type february sixth. Saturn and Uranus briefly pass. Time to do something new. Take your new boy on a trip to the mountain with the hidden lake. You know the one. Once there, sit at the picnic table that has lost a bench, and stare into his deep brown eyes while the stars glitter above. When you get home, bake him a cake. You've always loved baking. Mantre of the day I think I love him. February eleventh. Venus is in retrograde, prompting you to remember your place in the world. Know you are nothing but a dot in the cosmos of the universe. Trust in your daily horoscope calendar today and forevermore. I can help you choose, but only if you flip me every day. Mantra of the day I am nothing. My horoscope is everything february twelfth Matters of the Heart are not as simple as they seem. This boy is distracting you from your path, your future. He's a Scorpio, after all. You've learned what you can, you've grown in your anger. Time to end what was destined to fail. Mantra of the day I don't love him any more february thirteenth Since you need proof like Mercury needs moon, go to his house. Pay attention. Notice the second toothbrush, the lingerie, the smell of perfume. I told you to give it up, but you didn't listen. If you don't stop him, he will break your heart instead of the other way around. Jupiter predicted it. Mantra of the Day I was wrong, my horoscope was right. February fourteenth Celebrate Love Unless you don't have anyone in your life because you didn't listen to your horoscope. Then drown your sorrows in a tub of bluebell ice cream. Mars compels you to Mantra of the Day Mint ice cream is warmer than my heart february fifteenth Just like the planets above, know I am always here for you. In this time of grief, trust in your daily horoscope to make choices so you don't have to. According to Saturn, you shouldn't make any big decisions. Mantre of the day I can give up, and that's okay. February sixteenth Try not to think about him or your ex or the ex before. Try not to dwell on the fact that he's happier without you. You have quite a track record at this point to be expected from a Gemini. Mantra of the Day I don't make good choices by myself. February seventeenth Uranus is showing. Spend time with your friends. Go to work. On your way home, don't pass by his place. He still lives there, though he's brought another girl to his bed. It will hurt too much to see Mantra of the Day. I trust my horoscope. It knows what's best for me. February eighteenth. It is a day of lists. In red pen, write down everything you know about your ex, his looks, his hobbies, his location, and his favourite sweets. Recite the incantation included on the last page. This will drag his spirit into your dreams, where you can fuck then kill him like the praying mantis you want to be. Mantra of the day I'm a badass praying mantis february nineteenth. The universe is working in your favor. Go to the store and buy the prettiest knife you can find. The one you saw in your dreams. The one that glistened like starlight when you slit his throat. Mantra of the day The sharper the blade, the deeper the cut. February twentieth Neptune weeps with you. It's blue aura darker today than before. Take a day to sit with your sorrow. Let it suffocate you like a weighted blanket. Drown yourself in your tears. Pour your sorrow all over your list. Watch the ink drip onto your pillow in thin red drops. The bleeding words will give you power and confidence to do what needs to be done. Mantre of the day The ink will remind me of what I lost. February twenty first It is a day of plans. Write down the most vital organs in the body, the ones that die the quickest. Do this in black pen so it doesn't fade. Venus will hear it and gift you with the power of discretion. Mantra of the day I will know where to hurt him february twenty second. It's important to tackle the tasks you can handle. Under the new moon, use your beautiful new knife to slash his tires, then stare at his window, at the light blinding you, and debate slashing him as well. If you can, do it Mantra of the Day Consistency is key. February twenty third. It's okay to feel regretful sometimes. It is through moments like these that we grow, learn our skills and interests. As long as you listen to your horoscope, everything will be okay. Mantra of the Day Everything will be okay because I have my horoscope february twenty fourth. Throw away the knife like Uranus should throw away its rings. You were never good at stone cold murder. But you were always good at making sweets people couldn't resist. Even if he's no longer in your life, even if he claims he has moved on. He won't be able to say no to your baked goods. Refer to the bleeding list for his favourite treat, and go to the store and get the perfect ingredients. Mantra of the day shopping is the best therapy. February twenty fifth One of the most effective ways to grieve a relationship is to bake. Spend the day living your best life by focusing on your passion like you do every month. While you're on this baking binge, make the sweets he loves. They may contain your ink stained tears, but they smell delicious. Mantre of the day Revenge is a dish best served cold february twenty sixth Yesterday's messes will bleed into the future if you let them. Start by cleaning your apartment. Pour any extra cleaning supplies you have at the end of the day into the dessert for flavor Mantre of the Day Tidy Home, Tidy Heart february twenty seventh Mercury and Jupiter play like kids in the cosmos. Mimic them by playing your own version of Ding Dong Ditch. Go to his home and place the sweets at the door. Ring the doorbell and run. No one can resist your treats when they're free and smell amazing. Mantra of the Day Sharing is caring. February twenty eighth. Jupiter and Mercury are aligned. That means it's the perfect day to listen to police reports as you clean up the evidence. It's important to not let your emotions overwhelm you. Remind yourself that you're stronger without them. Stronger with me Mantra of the Day I'm going to scrub that man right out of my hair and sofa and bedding and kitchen. March first. The new month dawns upon you. With Mercury and Venus by your side, forget the transgressions of the past and grow into the awakening of the new. Take chances, discover truths, and live without regrets. Mantra of the Day Forgetting is surviving.
