HOT STORIES ACROSS XONECOLE

When it comes to friendship, we often focus on the actions and attitudes of others while failing to truly examine ourselves. Reflection and self-awareness are essential to friendship because while we will never be able to control another person's behavior, one of the best things we can do to have strong friendships is to be good friends ourselves.

Manifest Your Dream Life Through Astrology

To manifest your dream life, you need to first ask yourself what you want. Get to the bottom of what it is you desire, know yourself, and discover what potential mental blocks may be limiting you from receiving it.

How Each Zodiac Sign Should Manifest Their Dream Life

​ARIES

TAURUS

There is also a mystical side that not many people know or see right away, and you can create some real magic by lighting intentional candles, using flower therapy, and visualizing what you want to manifest for yourself in a luxurious bath or atmosphere.

GEMINI

CANCER

To create the perfect space for you to manifest your dreams, make sure you are in a place where you feel comfortable and at home and a space that makes you relax and focus on the joy and gratitude in your world.

LEO

VIRGO

Virgo is a sign that rarely gets enough rest as they are always doing and taking care of things. The challenge with this, however, is that your manifestations can’t reach you when you are always moving around, focused on the next thing you have to do.

​LIBRA

SCORPIO

Setting up affirmations and positive keywords for yourself serves you well. Knowing your trigger words and places can help you navigate and learn more about how you speak to yourself to make sure you are saying and doing things that will give you what you want, not what you don’t.

​SAGITTARIUS

​CAPRICORN

For you, manifesting your dreams is going to come from realizing that it can really come to you that easily.

​AQUARIUS

​PISCES

You are often daydreaming and imagining scenarios you want to see happen, which can definitely help you manifest, but you’ll want to find a way to do so with a more grounded approach.
