the signs as peculiar advice regarding an eerie enemy
ARIES: keep your flame alive, aries. it will do whatever it can to put it out, for it is afraid of your fire-and once it is out, it is all over. the darkness will swallow you whole. stay bright, for your own fire is your guiding light.
TAURUS: trust in yourself, taurus. your confidence will shake it to its core. you are afraid of it because it is not afraid of you-so reverse it. strike fear into its heart, and do not back down. your salvation lies within your own strength. you can do it. you just need a little bit of trust.
GEMINI: fly, gemini. fly far away from here. forgive yourself, let go of your past, do whatever it takes for you to become lighter than air, for it will not follow you if you bear no heavy weight. regrets are like rocks-release them, and free yourself.
CANCER: do not believe a word it says, cancer. it will try to make you believe that it is just like you-it will manipulate emotion, and smooth talk its way around your defenses. do not believe it. it is sly, and smart, but you know its tricks. they are your tricks. be smart, and play the game.
LEO: burn it down, leo. there is nothing good left in there, nothing worth saving. there are some battles that you just cannot win, and redemption is in the matchbox in your pocket. take your flame and burn it all to dust-then run.
VIRGO: do not think twice, virgo. your curious mind wants you to understand everything, but that is exactly what it relies on. some things are not meant to be understood. trust only your instinctual reactions, and ignore your mind, for it feeds off of your thoughts.
LIBRA: do not be fooled, libra. the dazzling things and glittering smiles are meant to lure you in, make you believe that it’s an oasis, but you must not fall for it. stay focused, and do not put your faith in a mere illusion.
SCORPIO: learn it’s name, scorpio. you of all people know how powerful names can be. it will not be easy, and it will try to stop you at every turn, but you must not give up. say it’s name, and you will finally know peace.
SAGITTARIUS: do not run, sagittarius. running has worked before, but it will not this time. the only thing you can do is face it, and defeat it. but you cannot run from it-no matter how fast you are, it will always find you. again. and again. and again.
CAPRICORN: do not look into its eyes, capricorn. it will stare you down, unblinking, unwavering, but you must not stare back. look anywhere but it’s eyes, for if you do, you will not see or be seen again.
AQUARIUS: do not pay attention to what you hear, aquarius. it will try to trick you with twisted sounds, cries for help, anything that might lure you into its arms. do not be fooled. ignore what you hear, and believe in only what you can see.
PISCES: do not turn around, pisces. it wants desperately for you to face it. it will do whatever it can to make you look-but you cannot turn around. you must keep going forward, you must keep your head held high-and do. not. turn. around.
