WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 5/1-7/2024
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
Blessed Beltane!
Venus in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius square off on May 1, creating power struggles in relationships during the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius. Pluto retrograde commences on May 2, lasting until October 11. This is a time in which we will reassess the past and present to make sure we are on the right path and making the correct decisions. Mars in Aries harmonizes with Pluto on May 3, forcing us to take charge and dominate. The Sun aspects Saturn in Pisces the same day as the New Moon in Taurus on May 7, urging us to commit to a different way of being.
Witch tip:
A great way to construct Beltane magic and to embrace the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius on May 1 is to connect with Mother Earth. To do so, you might want to meditate in a garden surrounded by flowers, hug trees to show the earth how much you love her, or walk around barefoot to connect and ground yourself in the earth's energy. You might also want to light a candle or create a bonfire to celebrate Beltaine. If you do so, please practice fire safety rules and consider what you want to bring into your life as you watch the fire flicker. Just by thinking and manifesting these ideas, you'll find that they have wings to come to life in the months ahead.
