Aries

March 21 – April 20

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

— Philippians 4:13 (KJV)

You are always busy, always filled with energy, always trying to take on the next challenge life throws your way. But sometimes you feel overwhelmed, impatient, or in over your head. That’s why you need this simple reminder—you can and will do all things in Christ. He is with you. And in Him, you are strong.

Taurus

April 21 – May 21

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

— John 14:27 (NIV)

You crave calm, stability, and control, but sometimes life doesn’t give that to you. Sometimes life throws you in a million different directions and you feel like you just can’t catch a break. That’s why you need to hear this—don’t let your heart be fearful, for in Him, you will find the peace you’re searching for.

Gemini

May 22 – June 21

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”

— 1 John 4:7 (NIV)

You are a social person, always wanting to be around people, to have conversations, to be connected to those around you. Know that you are a disciple of Christ and every interaction you have with someone else can be a blessing. The way you open to others reflects how God loves each of us, so be encouraged to simply be you.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

— John 15:13 (NIV)

You always put your friends and family first. You love to be around the people you love, building them up, so much so that sometimes you feel underappreciated or seen as insecure or clingy when that’s not your intent. Find comfort in this verse—who you are and how you love is beautiful.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.”

— James 4:10 (NIV)

You take pride in all that you do, wanting to be in charge, wanting to do things the right way, wanting your work and your life to shine brightly. But (even though you don’t like to admit it) sometimes your pride can get the best of you. So take this verse as a reminder—you are wonderful and strong, but you must humble yourself before God. He notices and appreciates all that you do.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

— Isaiah 41:20 (NIV)

You’ve always been the type of person to put too much on your plate. You’re detail oriented, organized, and a good listener. It comes naturally to put others problems before your own and to try to fix all that you can. But sometimes it’s just too much. So read this verse and be comforted—the Lord is with you and will help you. You don’t need to take on this crazy world alone.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”

— Ecclesiastes 3: 1-4 (KJV)

You are the scale sign; you crave balance, order, and peace. But life can often be chaotic, throwing off your best-laid plans and making you feel like you’re constantly running on empty. Read these words and find comfort—there is a time for everything, and all will work out according to His plan.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

— 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

Your little heart feels so much. You are forever wondering what’s going on in someone else’s head; you are always trying to make sense of your emotions. But this can give you anxiety, fear, and stress. So please remember this—give your worries to the Father and He will replace them with peace and confidence.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

— 2 Corinthians 3:17(NIV)

You’ve always loved to live life outside of the box: no rules or routines, just you moving forward making both mistakes and decisions. You crave freedom, but sometimes this longing to be on your own pulls you away from the people you love, and more importantly, from God. Please remember this—there is freedom in faith and following Christ.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 20

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

— Matthew 6:20-21 (NIV)

You work your butt off and take pride in all that you do. You’re goal-oriented and driven, but sometimes you have the tendency to focus too much on what you have yet to accomplish that you fail to see where you are and how far you’ve come. Sometimes you feel like you’ll never be enough. And this is what you need to remember—you don’t need to work to meet the standards of this world. Your true worth and treasures are in Him, and you are absolutely enough.

Aquarius

January 21 – February 19

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

— John 13:34 (NIV)

You are generous. At your core, connecting with others around you, even strangers, is so important. But this can leave you feeling tired when your feelings aren’t reciprocated or empty when you have no time for yourself. So take heed of this—the way you love and give to others is a blessing not a curse. God sees how you are reaching out to others, and in turn He will reach to you. You are loved and noticed.

Pisces

February 20 – March 20

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,who loved me and gave himself for me.”

— Galations 2:20 (NIV)

You are a water sign, constantly overflowing with passion and emotion for the people and things around you. You have faith, but sometimes it’s tested. Sometimes it gets shaken by the circumstances or challenges around you. Remember this—you are Christ’s child. Keep your faith. He lives within you, strengthening you every single day.
