Artist Collaboration with Berlin Michelle 🎨

It can feel really alienating being told what to do and how to do it - even if it’s for a good cause, like the health of the ocean.

That’s why we decided to team up with artist Berlin Michelle on a series of Sea Sign starter packs that help bring personality to actions that help beat plastic pollution. If Berlin’s work inspires you to ditch single-use plastic we hope you’ll check out her work!

CANCER ♋️

Have you checked in with yourself today, Cancer? We know that you are often so busy taking care of everyone else that you sometimes forget to take care of you. Your sensitivity and selflessness make you an incredible friend and partner, but never forget that you are the star of your own life story. Make sure to reserve some of that nurturing energy for yourself.

The sun’s position in Gemini makes this a perfect time to express your needs. As a water sign, you may feel the effects of plastic pollution in our ocean more profoundly than signs that draw their energy from other elements. That’s okay. Patience is the key to communication with anyone who doesn’t pass the first vibe check.

Could there be a better time to break through than World Oceans Day on June 8th? Celebrate your inner siren and your inner crab all month long with this Sea Sign starter pack we’ve created for you.

Your noble energy inspires and invigorates everyone around you. World Oceans Day might be June 8th, but June is World Oceans Month. Don’t hold back.

VIRGO ♍️

You’re doing everything you can to lend a helping hand right now Virgo, but with the way that 2020 is going, some of your efforts may have gone unnoticed.

We want to take a moment to recognize YOU, Virgo. We see how kind you are, how hard you work to make sure everything is perfect, and we want to say: thank you.

Virgo, if everyone was as meticulous and as thoughtful as you are, there would be a lot less plastic in the ocean and a future with clean seas would be pretty much guaranteed. We know you aren’t crazy about the spotlight, but now is not the time to be shy. The sun’s recent transition into Gemini has opened lines of communication; the world is curious, thirsty for knowledge.

We’ve customized a Sea Sign starter pack just for you—to help you share what you already know about plastic pollution. Let’s celebrate solutions to waste and how to overcome eco-anxiety this World Oceans Month.

LIBRA ♎️

Libra, living in the middle ground can put you at odds with those in your life who tend to see things on one side of the spectrum or the other - for you, the world is often more abstract. Your tendency to consider multiple perspectives isn’t just a knack; it is your default setting, but you’re never afraid to pick a side when it really matters.

Libras stand for justice — for the climate and for the ocean. With the sun in Gemini, you might have to work a little harder than usual to focus your energy. You will find the balance that you seek in friends who share your interest in environmental and social justice even if it takes some extra time in the comments of your favorite accounts while we all #stayathome.

We hope the binoculars in your Sea Sign starter pack will be useful in your search for your fair-minded, harmony-loving peers all World Oceans Month long!

SCORPIO ♏️

Few things in life are as simultaneously persuasive and intimidating as your intensity, Scorpio. Like the oyster that turns a grain of sand into a glimmering pearl, Scorpio also has incredible transformative power. Combined with your natural intensity?

That is EXACTLY the kind of energy needed to help us all secure a future with clean seas—especially while celebrating World Oceans Month

We want to recognize everything that makes you special, Scorpio, that’s why we’ve curated a Sea Sign starter pack just for you. So dive on in and crack open the possibilities all around you. Your persuasiveness is needed now for good.

CAPRICORN ♑️

Though the moon in Virgo may invite you to wallow in cynicism or self doubt, remember to stand your ground and recommit to your strength, Capricorn.

Your willpower leads the pack amongst the signs and it will help the global movement stay on course amidst the pandemic.

Always putting people and the planet first, your dedication is renowned and your leadership is needed now, Capricorn. So get ready to call your friends, family, colleagues, and new allies to answer the call this World Oceans Day and stand up for clean seas.

AQUARIUS ♒️

Your concern for humanity runs deep, Aquarius, and with the sun passing through Virgo on May 29th, your empathy is heightened as we enter into World Oceans Month. 

Though not everyone may share your intellect, you can use your inventive energy to create stories that support the health of the ocean on its special day.

Encourage your friends and family who don’t yet know the perils of plastic pollution to participate in active conversations, educate themselves on the topic, and help celebrate World Oceans Month!

And if you’ve been feeling anxious lately, we get it. Remind yourself of the power of community by watching our latest series on overcoming eco-anxiety. We are powerful when we work together.
