A ‘Growth Cocoon’ is any time when on the outside, things feel normal and static, but on the inside, a deep change takes place, often surprising the person who goes through them, maybe because they are too difficult for them, or the change happens on a small scale that is almost imperceptible on a day-to-day level. It is only when the emergence from the cocoon provides a clear break between the past and the present and manifests change in a visible way that the process begins to manifest itself.
A Sagittarius always has a new hobby or lofty dream of creating their own kind of glass ceiling. They can develop a broad skill set but never believe in their ability to exceed a certain level of success beyond strangers or entertainment. Everything is ‘fun’ or ‘good story’ or ‘good for a laugh’ until they come out of their Growth Cocoon this month and realize that their consistent practice has yielded results beyond what they imagined. When they receive their first monetary compensation for this skill, they will look back on the past months and years with a completely different mindset. Once, they will take themselves and their skills seriously.
Virgo has been processing something emotionally, without realizing that is what they are doing. Usually, when they bottle up their emotions, it results in a kind of Coke plus Mentos chemical reaction that’s bound to be a messy and uncontrollable explosion, but this time, the chemistry is different. Long-term pressure has produced a kind of diamond, something with a clear value for Virgo that they never thought could come from such a seemingly negative experience. It’s not until they step outside of their Growth Cocoon that they realize how much that experience was necessary to get to the next step, the next goal, the next relationship. In the chess game of life, this sacrifice was necessary for them to win in the end.
Capricorn has had to buckle down and save for a long time, giving up so little fun that their life feels like a grind and nothing else. Whatever financial problem they were trying to fix or long-term goal they were saving for, it often felt impossible to achieve or like the effort wasn’t worth the pain. Only when they cross that important finish line can they break out of the Growth Cocoon. The moment the debt is gone or the nest egg is gone, they can start enjoying the financial freedom they bought themselves with sweat and tears instead of dollars. The plans they are able to make as a result will prove to be worth every $5 coffee they say no to.
Scorpio’s Growth Cocoon is about self-discovery. They are people who are always entertaining, and often have little time to explore their wants, needs, and habits. A period of romantic inactivity has left Scorpio feeling lonely and isolated, lacking in self-confidence and passion for life. But it’s when they break out of that cocoon, finally making new connections based on their interests that they realize how much they’ve learned about themselves over the past year. Unlocking this self-awareness has completely changed the way they think about attraction and communication. Something with more content was exactly what they needed, and this change was the key to achieving it.
