Aries: Thorns will embed themselves into soft flesh and you were warned, but you did it anyway.

Taurus: Hibiscus red for power and dandelion yellow for luck.

Gemini: All is lost in this overgrown garden that is your soul. The fairy lights cannot guide anyone safely through - They must hold your hand.

Cancer: Climbing a tree to merely cut it from the top down. You can see the world from there, but you’re determined to destroy it a little at a time anyway.

Leo: Flowers bloom at the touch of your fingertips and ivy sprouts from the part in your lips. No one ever told you that a vine can strangle or petals poison to this extent.

Virgo: Everything dies for the winter, but your fake flowers remain intact - Just as the false cheerfulness you put on for the sake of those around you remains untouched.

Libra: You can sleep in the forest if you want - The wolves will keep you safe from the roots and insects that seek to steal your warmth.

Scorpio: The gleam of a cat’s eye through the sassafras trees and a single pokeweed berry in your hand.

Sagittarius: Painting symbols across your flesh with black walnut juice will stop the dreams you fear, but there will be a cost.

Capricorn: Damn up the creek with stones you pulled from the graveyard. The ghosts will keep you safe while you bathe, but will ruin all the flowers you planted along the bank.

Aquarius: Three stems of monkshood and a fragment of sea glass on the windowsill at midnight under the new moon. Wait for their arrival.

Pisces: When the kudzu overtakes the sun-bleached deer skull on the hillside, then you can move on - Not before. Everything in its own time.
