Endless Bummer- January survival tips

Written by Bri Luna

As we navigate through January, many of us find ourselves grappling with an overwhelming sense of fatigue. The month seems to stretch on endlessly, and with the barrage of drama from news headlines…especially the political turmoil and presidential antics—our emotions can feel heightened and tumultuous. It’s no surprise that January can leave us feeling exhausted and on edge.

Why Does January Feel So Long?

Post-Holiday Transition: After the excitement and festivities of the holiday season, returning to regular routines can feel jarring. The contrast between the joyful celebrations and the mundane tasks of daily life can leave us feeling deflated.

Political Drama:The political landscape, especially during an election year, can be rife with chaos. The constant shifts in news coverage surrounding presidential debates, policy changes, and political drama can heighten anxiety and create a sense of instability.

Heightened Emotions: With the ongoing news cycle, it’s easy for our emotions to become amplified. Discussions around politics often lead to heated debates and divisive opinions, which can create tension in our personal lives and communities.

Seasonal Challenges:The winter months bring shorter days and less sunlight, which can contribute to feelings of sadness and lethargy. This seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can make January feel even longer and more challenging.

Taking Care of Yourself: Tips for Self-Regulation

In these times of overstimulation, prioritizing self-care is essential. Here are some strategies to help you manage your emotions and maintain your well-being during this taxing month:

Turn the F*cking TV Off :Set boundaries around your news consumption. Designate specific times to catch up on current events rather than allowing news alerts to disrupt your day. This can help reduce anxiety and give you space to breathe.

Practice Mindfulness and Meditation: Incorporate mindfulness techniques into your routine. Simple practices like meditation, deep-breathing exercises, or even a few moments of quiet reflection can help calm your mind and center your thoughts.

Establish a Routine:Create a daily schedule that includes self-care activities. Having a structured routine can provide stability and a sense of control, helping you cope with external chaos.

Get Creative: Find joy in creative pursuits like painting, writing, or crafting. These activities can serve as therapeutic expressions of emotion, providing a constructive way to process feelings and distract from stressors.

Connect with Community: Reach out to friends, family, or supportive groups. Sharing your feelings can lighten your emotional load and remind you that you’re not alone in navigating these turbulent times.

Gratitude:*Take a moment each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for, no matter how small. This simple practice can help shift your focus to the positive aspects of life, fostering resilience in challenging moments.

Prioritize Physical Activity: Incorporate movement into your daily routine. Whether it’s a workout, a walk, or dancing in your living room, physical activity releases endorphins that can help elevate your mood.

Make Time for Rest: Ensure you’re getting enough sleep and take breaks throughout the day. Rest is crucial for recharging your mind and body, especially during times of emotional strain.

Remember, it’s okay to take a step back from the chaos, breathe deeply, and focus on what you need to feel grounded. Let’s approach this month with resilience and self-compassion, finding ways to thrive amidst the uncertainty.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 1/20-26

January 21’s Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio, reveals information that we need to hear. The Sun creates a conjunction to Pluto in  Aquarius on January 21, intensifying bonds, relationships, and power struggles. Mars retrograde in Cancer connects with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on January 23, heightening our emotions. The same day, Mercury in Capricorn opposes Mars retrograde  and aspects Uranus retrograde, creating arguments that occur due to impatience and frustration. On the 25th and 26th, Venus in Pisces links up with Mars retrograde and Uranus retrograde, putting our passions on the forefront of our minds and hearts. Mercury sextiles Neptune in Pisces on January 26, allowing us to escape the mundane and daydream about the future.

Witch-tip: 

The Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio allows us to gain clarity on important matters. Once we process the information, we can shed the past. This will allow us to move forward and evolve. A productive endeavor during this time is to let go of what we don’t need. Meditate and journal what is essential and what is not. Light a red candle on Mars’s Day, which is Tuesday, to release the energy. Rip up the paper that lists what doesn’t serve you and throw it away as you usher in new hopes. 

Aries 

Be very conscientious in everything you do, especially if there is conflict and you’re feeling intensely about your perspectives. This week may present many challenges in keeping the peace with others, but it can be avoided if you focus your energy on the facts. With knowing what you can prove, allows you to end the week in the right way.

Taurus 

There is a desire and need for adventure and you’re likely to go to any measure to make sure it happens. The tendency to over express yourself is ample, so everyone may be competing for the floor. Try not to get into too much trouble, even if you do need to blow off a little steam at this current moment.

Gemini 

This is the best week to process and assess your emotions. Don’t forget that this is a time to evaluate situations, which means that you will begin to see matters clearly. You may be surprised about what is brought to the peripheral, as the true nature of friendships and relationships are revealed. Now, you can define partnerships and affinities clearly. 

Cancer 

Deeply buried feelings reveal themselves in a way that may not be desirable. This may be for the best because keeping them locked away wasn’t doing you any good. Secrets get revealed, maybe even surprising family secrets, but it’s all for the best if you approach this with the understanding that there will be plenty to work on moving forward.

Leo

It’s a good time to start projects and confront situations. This could also give you a dominant perspective on professional matters. You’ll enforce the rules or create new structures at work. Everyone will be focusing their energy and looking up to you. For the first time, you are making the moves and decisions necessary for attaining success in your life.

Virgo

If there has been conflict between you and anyone that you care about, this week brings the opportunity to tackle the issues in a relaxed and peaceful setting as it’s very unlikely that anyone will be in the mood to yell or get cross with one another. It’s a great time to speak up and let your feelings be known. 

Libra 

Enlightenment is coming your way this week. As you experience some of these intense astrological aspects, it’ll make you want to connect with your most intimate companions and friends. Popularity and charm comes to you naturally and it’s mainly just out of being yourself and sharing your feelings openly with others. You’ll feel more balanced having friends that support you.

Scorpio 

Emotional strength comes back and you are more like your true self again. Instincts are also back to where they ought to be so we can reintroduce ourselves to the public. This is also a good time to make decisions about the home, family life or the future. If you need a helping hand, reach out to those you trust.

Sagittarius 

Any guilt, failure, regret, flaw or other problem is going to be all consuming at this time and so it may be difficult to feel close to anyone. Hopefully this week’s transits can balance one another out enough that you can at least practice some self-care, which is highly advised — even if you do not want it right now.

Capricorn 

You’ll hear of an endeavor that doesn’t have the ability to come true. Or, you could overpromise to people. Try to be aware of the lies you tell to yourself. The biggest and most common form of deceptions are the ones we convince ourselves to believe. On the flip side, this energy could bring spiritual growth and inspiration your way.

Aquarius

This is a favorable time to tell someone how you feel about them. Also, let them know what your expectations are more clearly. Be guarded until you completely trust them, as people could see your kindness as weakness and take advantage. Walking the fine line around overbearing connections is vital because your friendliness could be perceived as an open invitation. 

Pisces

You may not be able to see how much influence the people you admire actually have over you. Be careful, make sure that they are not manipulating you. This would also be an ideal week to get a psychic reading or attend a therapy session as these could expose secrets from past lives or reveal things out of your subconscious.

The Full Wolf Moon In Cancer

The first Full Moon of 2025 occurs on January 13th at 2:27 PM Pacific Time and 5:27 PM Eastern Time. The Full Wolf Moon In Cancer is a time in which we are going to evolve our mindset and hearts. Being that the zodiac sign Cancer is the natural ruler of the Moon, it is a moment to pay attention to our emotions and how we navigate our energy. Be mindful of who and what we give our attention to. We should help the world in all of the current crises sweeping through earth by dedicating ourselves to acts of service .

The Full Moon in Cancer focuses on transcendence and protection. Mars retrograde in Cancer, Uranus retrograde in Taurus, and Neptune in Pisces push us to take action. We are being called upon by the cosmos to contribute to relief efforts. All three of these planets are urging us to lean towards altruism and welfare. We shouldn’t hesitate to give and not be too proud to receive. 

The asteroids Juno, Lilith, Eris, as well as the centaur Chiron and Black Moon Lilith aspect the Full Moon in Cancer. These astrological elements aim to intensify human bonds. These asteroids are allowing us to see how our actions have social impacts, how we learn from the past, and what changes we can make to how we live and care for others that will benefit everyone. Transformation is crucial because we live in a world that encourages us to give TLC and support to those we tend to unconditionally; however, many people do not adhere to that standard. Therefore, this is a moment in which we are all learning to give back rather than take — even if that means veering from the norm and taking matters into our own hands.

The fixed star Pollux connects with the Full Moon, warning us to use our power for a good cause. We have a choice to make about how we care and provide for ourselves and others. Rather than be manipulative, selfish, indulgent, or mean-spirited, it is important to give love, hope, and light to others and tenderness to ourselves. Nurturing the world through generosity, compassion, and acts of kindness is vital. Share your heart's sentiments and benevolence to create a more humane place for all. Now is the time to make a change and mark your place. Are you in or not? 

Ritual: 

With everything going on in the world and the current wildfires in Los Angeles, it’s vital that we all connect as a community and help others. No matter where you live, know that Earth is our home, and aiding its inhabitants is essential. Give your time and energy to humanitarian endeavors and support charities that assist those in need. We are stronger together. 

Did you know North America is home to one of the rarest species of wolf? Red Wolves once roamed the eastern/southeastern parts of North America but are now only found in North Carolina. Centuries of persecution led them to be declared extinct in the wild but, thanks to the Endangered Species Act and many hardworking partners, Red Wolves roam the wild once again.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service currently monitors 16 Red Wolves across Eastern NC and the WCC is leading the charge to identify additional release sites.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES

Astrology by Lisa Stardust for The Hoodwitch

Mars retrograde moves back into Cancer today, January 6th igniting our emotions and tempers. The First Quarter Moon in Aries (January 6) is trying to calm down the energy since it unites with the healing centaur Chiron. The same day, Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces, exhausting our energy. Two days later, Mercury enters Capricorn, bringing direct messages our way. Hours later, Mercury aspects the Nodes of Destiny, bringing fated connections our way. The North Node of Destiny enters Pisces and the South Node of Destiny enters Virgo on January 11, urging us to embrace our dreams in the next 1.5 years. Mars and Saturn in Pisces harmonize on the 12th, pushing us to take control of our lives and be unapologetic in our ventures.

Witch-tip:

The First Quarter Moon on January 6 is a wonderful time to bring novel ideas into our lives. Since the Moon is in Aries and links up with Chiron, the wounded centaur who offers healing, it’s prime time to mend our lives by aligning with what we love. Embrace your inner child by engaging in activities you’ve always wanted to do since your youth but never did. No matter how minimal or trivial it is, you'll feel free, reborn, and ready to take on the world as a result.

Aries

You may find that channeling the intense energy of Mars’s backward spin into a creative project or endeavor might distract you from getting too angry at anything else that comes your way. You will likely find that you have even more talents  unmasking themselves than you did in the past.

Taurus

There is strength in vulnerability. If you find yourself feeling more empathetic than usual, make some space to help someone else deal with their issues, it just may be a healthy distraction from your own problems. The more you give to others, the easier it will be to resolve matters.

Gemini

If your insights bring you bad news, try not to lose your temper or discuss problems in the morning without waking job to avoid temperamental reactions. This energy could also come with an urge to be spontaneous, but not in the fun playful way, so try to control your urges.

Cancer

If you’ve been waiting for a sign about your career, keep your eyes wide open during this week to find guidance from the stars. You will probably want to write down your ideas about this as time goes by as well, so you can better organize your thoughts and plans.

Leo

Keep your focus toward networking and reaching new people, and you should find the attention and validation you seek. Try not to worry too much about what others might be saying about you, especially this evening, when the sun and moon find themselves in a bizarre position to one another.

Virgo

Pent up aggressions are causing conflicts with others. But if you find yourself on the receiving end of someone else's ongoing temper tantrum, try to diffuse the situation diplomatically. Try to unwind in the days ahead by meditating and taking a break from matters that are extremely frustrating to you.

Libra

You will want to take a walk on the wild side and let other people take notice of the parts of yourself that are hidden — know that you're being totally open, excitable, and carefree in how you represent yourself by throwing caution to the wind and living your life.

Scorpio

This cosmic climate is perfect for embracing your sensual side, and can help you reconnect with your nearest and dearest. If you feel like you need a bit of cheering up, use this energy as an excuse to spoil yourself a tiny bit, but don't go overboard with your spending. The tension that's built up throughout the week will come to a head

Sagittarius

It may be hard for you to understand or connect your intuition properly. Therefore, you will have to go with the flow and see what energy manifests as a result. Stay in your lane, and to not create problems with others, even though you may be tempted to do so.

Capricorn

Although you do not want to end your relationship, this is the time in which you will be thinking about which direction we want to choose. Money may also be a touchy subject, so avoid making personal investments as the outcome may not yield high profits at this current moment.

Aquarius

Check in with your body and try to get in some light stretching, as the energy encourages you to nurture your physical self. While there will still be work to take on, the week will flow at a comfortable pace, giving you space to tackle your to-do list with leisure.

Pisces

You might meet someone who will play an important role in your life. Keep your heart, ears, and spirit open as the universe is connecting you with people who will help you embrace your talents and align with opportunities in the future. Let fate take hand and trust the process.

The Enigma of Telepathy in Modern Science

Written by Bri Luna

Telepathy, often described as the ability to communicate thoughts or feelings from one mind to another without any known physical interaction, has fascinated humanity for centuries. Despite its prominent place in folklore, fiction, and spiritual discourse, modern science remains largely skeptical of telepathy and similar phenomena. This skepticism is deeply rooted in the structures of contemporary scientific thought and societal norms, which are often influenced by patriarchal values.

Historically, science has been dominated by patriarchal perspectives that prioritize empirical evidence and reproducibility, favoring materialistic explanations over metaphysical ones. This framework not only defines what is considered "real" science but also shapes the funding and institutional support for research initiatives. As a result, areas of study that fall outside conventional scientific paradigms such as telepathy or other psychic phenomena are often dismissed as “pseudoscience”. I was inspired to share this after listening to the fascinating new podcast titled “Telepathy Tapes” created by Ky Dickens.

The resistance to spiritual beliefs, including telepathy, can be attributed to several factors:

Telepathy challenges the established boundaries of human experience and understanding. For a society that values rational, observable phenomena, the idea of mind-to-mind communication without physical interaction provokes discomfort and skepticism.

A patriarchal society often upholds a hierarchical structure of knowledge, where established scientific paradigms are revered, and alternative viewpoints are marginalized. This cultural bias leads to the dismissal of spiritual practices and beliefs as unworthy of serious inquiry.

Research initiatives are typically driven by funding sources that favor projects with clear, quantifiable outcomes. Paranormal studies, including telepathy, often struggle to secure financial support, as they do not conform to traditional scientific expectations.

While a healthy sense of skepticism is essential for scientific progress, the resistance to investigating phenomena like telepathy raises important questions. Why is there such a lack of funding and interest in exploring these areas? The dismissal of telepathy as mere pseudoscience not only stifles potential breakthroughs but also neglects a rich tapestry of human experience and understanding.

Modern science could benefit from a broader, more inclusive approach that embraces a range of perspectives, including those that challenge conventional wisdom. By fostering an environment of inquiry, where spiritual beliefs and experiences are taken seriously, science may uncover valuable insights that have been overlooked.

Bridging the Gap Between Science and Spirituality?

The question remains: when will modern science catch up to spiritual knowledge that has existed for centuries? The answer lies in the willingness to explore the intersections between science and spirituality. By investing in rigorous research that examines these phenomena, we can begin to understand them within a scientific context.

Imagine a world where researchers approach telepathy and psychic phenomena with open minds, conducting experiments that seek to validate or refute its existence. If more funding were directed toward these areas, the potential for groundbreaking discoveries could be immense. The integration of spiritual knowledge into scientific discourse could lead to a more holistic understanding of consciousness and human connection.

The exploration of telepathy and similar phenomena is not merely a fringe pursuit; it represents a profound opportunity for scientific advancement. By challenging the patriarchal structures that dictate what constitutes "real science," we can create a culture of inquiry that embraces the mysterious and the unknown. In doing so, we may discover that the realms of science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary pathways to understanding the complexities of human existence.

Embracing 2025: The Year of the Hermit in Tarot

Written by Bri Luna

As we enter 2025, a fascinating alignment emerges in the realms of Tarot and numerology. This year, represented by the Hermit card in Tarot, is also symbolically connected to the number 9, as the digits of 2025 (2 + 0 + 2 + 5) break down to 9. This convergence invites us to explore the deeper significance of the Hermit and what we can expect in this transformative year.

The Meaning of the Hermit: A Journey Within

In Tarot, the Hermit card is a powerful symbol of introspection, contemplation, and the search for inner truth. Depicted as a wise figure holding a lantern, the Hermit illuminates the path ahead, urging us to look within ourselves for guidance. This card often appears for us during times when we need to retreat from the external world and seek clarity through solitude.

The number 9, in numerology, carries its own profound meaning. In numerology, It represents completion, spiritual enlightenment, and humanitarianism. When combined with the energy of the Hermit, 2025 becomes a potent year for personal growth and collective evolution.

What to Expect in the Year of the Hermit?

As we enter the Year of the Hermit, we can anticipate a shift in focus from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to a more introspective approach. This year will likely encourage a collective retreat into self-exploration, where individuals seek to understand their true values and aspirations. Expect to see more people prioritizing mental health, mindfulness, and spiritual practices, as the Hermit's energy fosters an environment for healing and reflection.

The Hermit also calls for a reassessment of our connections with others. While solitude is essential for personal growth, the Hermit reminds us that sharing our insights and experiences can create deeper bonds within our communities. This year may inspire individuals to form more authentic connections based on mutual understanding and shared wisdom.

Symbolism of the Hermit: Resonating with the Collective

The symbolism of the Hermit resonates deeply with the collective consciousness. In a world often characterized by noise, distraction, and external validation, the Hermit invites us all to reclaim our inner voice. The lantern he holds is a metaphor for the light of knowledge and understanding, guiding us through the darkness of uncertainty.

In the context of societal challenges, the Hermit’s energy may encourage a collective awakening to the importance of self-care, emotional intelligence, and compassion. As we navigate the complexities of life, the year 2025 could serve as a turning point where individuals seek more meaning beyond material pursuits, encouraging a more balanced and empathetic society.

Working with the Hermit’s Energy and the Number 9

To fully embrace the transformative potential of the Year of the Hermit, individuals can engage in various practices that align with the energies of the Hermit and the number 9:

1. Mindful Meditation:Set aside time each day for meditation or mindfulness practices. This will help quiet the mind and cultivate a deeper connection to your inner self.

2. Nature Retreats:Spend time in nature to facilitate reflection. Whether through hiking, camping, or simply walking in a park, immersing yourself in the natural world can provide clarity and inspiration. I will be hosting my second Costa Rica retreat this Scorpio season with Trova trip. This is a wonderful time for community connection, exploration, and healing. You can sign up for early access: https://trovatrip.com/trip/central-america/costa-rica/costa-rica-with-bri-luna-nov-2025

3. Digital Detox:Consider unplugging from social media and technology for a period. This intentional disconnection allows space for introspection and helps you focus on what truly matters.

4. Journaling:Keep a journal to document your thoughts, feelings, and insights throughout the year. This practice can help illuminate patterns in your life and guide your personal growth journey.

5. Community Engagement: While the Hermit emphasizes solitude, it also encourages sharing wisdom with others. Find opportunities to engage with your community through volunteering or participating in group discussions to foster collective understanding.

6. Acts of Service:The number 9 is associated with humanitarian efforts. Look for ways to give back to your community or support causes that resonate with you, enriching both your life and the lives of others.

A Year of Reflection and Growth

As we walk into 2025, let us embrace the Year of the Hermit as a time for reflection, self-discovery, and collective awakening. By tapping into the energies of the Hermit and the number 9, we can navigate the year with intention and purpose, uncovering the wisdom that resides within us all. Together, let’s embark on this transformative journey, illuminating our paths and fostering a deeper connection to ourselves and one another.

May 2025 be a year of profound insights and meaningful connections!

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/30 - 1/4

Astrology by Lisa Stardust for The Hoodwitch

The week starts off with the Black Moon in Capricorn igniting our hopes on December 30. The following day, Pluto in Aquarius activates the Nodes of Destiny, giving us the drive to move forward. Venus swims into Pisces on January 2, illuminating our romantic desires. Mars retrograde in Leo opposes Pluto on January 3, creating power struggles with authority figures. Don’t push matters on the 3rd, let them resolve themselves in time. The Sun in Capricorn meets up with Saturn in Pisces on January 5th, calming down the frenetic energy from the 3rd. Mars retrograde and the Nodes of Destiny are ready to make moves and augment decisions on January 5th.

Witch-tip: 

January 3 is intense, due to the opposition between Mars retrograde and Pluto. We’ll want to react to matters and create drama. Before asserting yourself, calm down by connecting with nature as a way to decompress. Take a hike, smell the fresh air, and let your stresses out through outdoor activities.

Aries 

Self-doubt could rear its ugly head, when Mars and Pluto face off. Remember that there are solutions to every problem, and alternative paths around any obstacle. Don't let feelings of being stuck prevent you from trying to manifest your dreams. You’ll be able to move forward if you think rationally.

Taurus 

Use this week to cozy up at home with the people you're closest to and fully trust. As the week comes to a close, the cosmos are allowing you to find motivation in planning for a brighter future. Your squad will stand behind your goals and support every endeavor imaginable.

Gemini 

If you find yourself in a conflict during the first part of the week, remove yourself from the situation until the weekend, when the vibe lightens up a bit. Check in with your mind, body, and soul, and look for ways to bring any unbalanced elements of your energy back. 

Cancer 

If you've been neglecting your emotional needs or self-care lately, this could be the time it catches up with you. You'll likely be more sensitive than normal right now, but this energy could put those around you in a foul mood. Don't project your sentiments onto others at this time. 

Leo

Avoid speaking impulsively, as you might blurt out things that are regretful later. Be aware that you're staying grounded and practical right now, as this energy could also have us chasing what we believe to be strokes of genius, only to find out later that the idea held little weight.

Virgo

An opportunity to let go of old wounds and insecurities will manifest throughout the week. This energy will also present the perfect opportunity to step into your personal power, especially if you've been feeling undervalued recently. You can evolve present situations to create better dynamics as you start moving forward.

Libra 

Stepping into your personal power might be challenging at the moment, but know that it's totally okay to take some time at home to recharge before you make any big moves at work. The moment will come very soon to discuss your hopes and goals with management for the future.

Scorpio 

You can assume that this week is pivotal in how we deal with problems as it will be an important factor in the celestial energy ahead. You‘re able to control your own destiny, and the days ahead totally confirms that sentiment which you are feeling deep within, so take charge.

Sagittarius 

Emotions get bigger, as you open up in ways you never thought. You’re beginning to see the world through rose colored glasses. This can impair our judgment of situations as you are inclined to believe the best and other people even if it may not be necessarily true or real.

Capricorn 

As the week comes to a close, a difficult exchange could bring a hazy element to the table, which could lead to confusion on both an internal and external level. Try not to jump to any conclusions right now, as it's unlikely you have a complete grasp on the situation. 

Aquarius 

It is the perfect week to reconnect with your self-worth and confidence through mindfulness and thought. Put your needs first, even if those around you don't like it. Your mind should be in a good place with this energy present, opening the doors for brilliant ideas and innovative new concepts.

Pisces

You can get played or used without even seeing it coming, which is why it’s important for you to be aware that this is a possibility. The other side of this vibe is that you will knowingly let others take advantage of us because we are game for the rapture.

THE LAST NEW MOON OF THE YEAR! NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN

The last new moon of 2024 occurs on December 30 at 2:37 PM PT and 5:37 PM ET. The new moon in Capricorn commences before the new year, urging us to start 2025 off on the right foot. With the new moon comes ambiguity and confusion—but we’ll manage and thrive by focusing on transforming the past.

Since it is the second new moon of December, the new moon in Sagittarius was on December 1, called a black moon. This rare lunation isn't the first Capricorn new moon of the year. One on January 11, 2024, kicked off the year with many hopes and aspirations. As the year progressed, we were able to put our dreams from January 11‘s new moon into gear, allowing us to manifest our desires. Now, we can augment and revise those desires to align with who we've matured into being.

With Mercury exciting the post-retrograde shadow on January 2, 2025, and Mars currently retrograde, it is prime time to look back and reflect—not a moment to craft fresh ideas. Therefore, we should assess the visions from the beginning of the year to see how we can evolve them. So, rethink former topics and let them inspire you to greatness. 

Saturn, the planetary ruler of Capricorn, galvanizes the new moon. This sweeping effect allows us to ignite our intuition and rely on our emotions. Also, we’ll be persistent in all we wish to attain and do. The new moon doesn't want us to throw our hands up in the air—it motivates us to ensure we are on the correct journey as we enter 2025. 

The asteroids Pallas and Pholus, which unite with the new moon, might drive us to act impulsively; however, their presence in the Earth sign makes us slow down and decide how to proceed. Doing so requires care and mindfulness, so we must resist the urge to strike first. Instead, meditate on practical tactics and insights to drive the cart forward (so to speak). 

The fixed star Facies wants us to express our desires intentionally—all the more reason to use a mood board as a method of doing so. Not only will it guide us, but it'll also serve as a reminder of what we are passionate about to ensure we don't stray or get distracted.

New Moon In Capricorn Ritual 

A New Moon in Capricorn is a great time to set intentions related to ambition, structure, and long-term goals.

The best way to utilize the new moon's energy is to create a mood board. A mood board is a collection of visuals that helps us map out our thought process, enabling us to come to conclusions about what we want to bring to fruition. As mentioned above, this lunation is about looking backward to cultivate the best means to move forward, so it's advisable to show what you are bringing to life and figure out how to do it through making collages, art, or visual charts. You can always add on images, ideas, or quotes to the mood board as you bring your goals and hopes into being.

Your Astrology Guide Of 2025

Astrology by Lisa Stardust For The Hoodwitch

2025 begins amid Mars Retrograde from Leo to Cancer until February 23. The planetary backspin will make us feel like nothing is happening on the timeline we want. Relish the opportunity to decompress. Use the time to organize professional goals for the year. 

A week after Mars turns direct, Venus, the planet of money, begins retrograde in Aries and Pisces, lasting from March 1 to April 12, making matters of the heart extra complicated. Indecisiveness around love and relationships will consume our lives. 

On January 11, the Nodes of Destiny enter the Pisces and Virgo axis, urging us to embrace magical thinking for the next 1.5 years.

Neptune fights for our dreams when it temporarily enters Aries from March 30 to October 22. After that, Neptune moves back into Pisces.

When authoritative Saturn gets fired up in Aries from May 24 to September 1, we’ll take charge of our careers. Saturn dips back into Pisces after that for the rest of the year after September 1. 

Expansive Jupiter will be transiting the air sign Gemini until June 9, when it enters Cancer. We’ll be able to walk and talk the talk that drives us to succeed. 

With Uranus wandering in Gemini from July 7 to November 7, we can implement change and growth into our professional aspirations and bank accounts.

Eclipses are intense new and full moons that connect us with our journey in life and bring matters to light. There are four eclipses this year that include: 

• A lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 14

• A solar eclipse in Aries on March 29

• A lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 

• A solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21

Mercury retrograde brings miscommunication, travel issues, and technological mishaps. These are the dates of Mercury’s moonwalk in 2025:

• March  15 to April 7 in Aries and Pisces

• July 18 to August 11 in Leo

• November 9 to 29 in Sagittarius and Scorpio

Here's what your Sun sign can expect: 

Aries 

With Neptune and Saturn connecting with your Sun after Venus retrograde links up with your sign, you’ll find it hard to concentrate on one professional goal. There are so many things you want to do and not much time to do them, which is why you might want to start journaling your thoughts for clarity and listening to your intuition before putting energy into them.

Taurus 

Venus’s retrograde from March 1 to April 12 will make you unsure of how you want to elevate your career. Rather than stress over the matter, think about your former ideas and try to augment them for current times. Doing so is going to work to your advantage, especially since Jupiter and Uranus in Gemini offer a hot advance on your creative and novel concepts.

Gemini

WITCH-TIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/23 -29

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

This week brings a bit more calmness! On the 23rd, the Sun in Capricorn forms a challenging square with the Nodes of Destiny, prompting us to make significant choices that will impact our future for years. The next day, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini creates a tense connection with Saturn in Pisces, similar to what we experienced on August 19th. This connection may leave us feeling uncertain about our direction and create conflicts in our affairs.

On December 26th, Mercury in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter retrograde, intensifying arguments and expressive communication. Then, on the 27th, Mercury aligns strongly with Saturn, encouraging us to establish structure and clarity in our conversations. Finally, on December 28th, Venus in Aquarius interacts with Uranus retrograde in Taurus, signaling a time of change. This energy pushes us to break free from restrictive relationships and embrace our individuality.

Witch-tip: 

Since Mercury is an active planet this week, it’s important to exercise the throat chakra. Try singing out a statement rather than speaking or writing it in order to tune into the chakra and connect with the truth. 

Aries 

As one of the more strategic signs of the zodiac, the week ahead is a time to set professional goals for the new year. If there have been any objectives left on the sidelines, now is the time to start making moves to bring them to life by manifesting greatness.

Taurus 

No one knows more than you about the importance of R & R. You deserve to break from the stresses of your mundane existence and struggles by indulging in a spa day or a walk in nature. Even bed rotting will have an immense effect in heightening your energy levels. 

Gemini 

Your intuition is powerful during the upcoming days, so you should listen to your potent dreams. You might recall a former vision that comes to fruition now, making you totally aware of its nuances. Pay attention to what you're being shown now, it will open your eyes to underlying themes.

Cancer 

Think of how you can upgrade your daily routine. Doing so helps you get organized and strive for a thorough life. The first thing you need to do is create an iCal and stick to the schedule. That way you won't miss out on events and have time for yourself. 

Leo 

Your generous heart is getting the ultimate present. A white elephant gift from a coworker speaks to your spirit, urging you to thank them in a very special way. Log into your social media account and give them a shout out and send them some love to show your gratitude. 

Virgo

Being the compassionate earth sign that you are, it is vital that you protect your energy. Although you want to connect with your crew, you are becoming aware that not everyone has your best interests at heart. Make sure you're spending time with those that truly care instead of the vampires.

Libra 

Taking charge of your finances can be daunting, especially during the onset of the holidays. However, you can be a baller on a budget if you get the look for less and focus on sales rather than paying 100% retail. Spend within reason and fight the desire to buy luxuries.

Scorpio 

You’ll find comfort in hanging out with friends from the gym, book club, or the local bar. Make plans with them to welcome in the new season. Spending time with these peeps might let you see their softer side, ultimately bringing you closer. Sparks of friendship will begin to fly.

Sagittarius 

Love comes in many forms and you are discovering what they are. Embrace the tender vibes and engulf yourself in the romantic sentiments. Do not sabotage yourself in matters of the heart by acting out. Try to be a devoted archer by committing to one person instead of running away.

Capricorn 

Since your solar is underway, it is time for you to become more intentional. Meditate on what you wish to manifest and build in the months ahead. Start planting the seeds now to cultivate the future dreams you desire. With a bit of gusto and drive, you can accomplish anything.

Aquarius

With all the changes in your life, you should decompress and understand how you've grown. Think of yourself as a sphinx rising from the ashes as you become your true self. You are becoming unstoppable—it is time you take notice of how powerful you truly are. You got this, Aquarius! 

Pisces 

Reach out to the acquaintances you haven't recently seen to share several laughs about the good old days. Make plans to spend more time with each other in 2025. Connecting with them will bring a smile to your face and make you feel golden as you enter the new year.

Capricorn Season

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

From December 21 to January 19, the Sun will be in the earth sign Capricorn. When Capricorn season commences, the Winter Solstice begins in the Northern Hemisphere, which is the shortest day of the year. During this time, we are focusing more on how we can attain greatness this year. It might be a little more challenging to make things happen due to Mars' planetary moonwalk, which began on December 6 and lasts until February 23, 2025. Instead of pushing things forward, we should focus on slowing down and unwinding in the days ahead.

How You’ll Be Affected?

Fire Signs

(Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)

Now is the time to boss up and take charge of matters, particularly in the professional realm of life. 

Earth Signs 

(Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn)

Think outside the box to advance your creativity and artistry, as well as the way you process information.

Air Signs 

(Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) 

Focusing on home life and family matters will bring out the warm and cozy sentiments we’re feeling with the onset of winter. 

Water Signs

(Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces)

Interpersonal relationships require effort and TLC to drive them forward; do so with empathy and understanding.

Key Dates

December 21: The Sun enters Capricorn, bringing reflection and sentimentality our way.

December 24: Jupiter retrograde in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces, creating a push-and-pull dynamic with others. Be nice and not naughty. Move towards compassion.

December 30: The New Moon in Capricorn jumpstarts our goals for 2025. 

January 2: Venus swims into Pisces, adding fantasy, glamor, romance, and tenderness to our lives. 

January 6: Mars retrograde enters Cancer, heightening our temperaments and exhaustion. 

January 8: Mercury moves into Capricorn, making communication more straightforward, concise, and efficient. 

January 11: The North Node of Destiny glides into Pisces as the South Node of Destiny enters Virgo, starting a 1.5-year journey. During this transit, we will be making our dreams a reality. 

January 13: The Full Moon in Cancer aligns us with our inner emotions and intuition. 

The Cold Full Moon In Gemini

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The final Full Moon of 2024 occurs on December 15 at 1:01 AM PT and 4:01 AM ET in the air sign Gemini. This lunation is going to be confusing and exhausting, but will be a good emotional detox. The aim is to free our minds and hearts from the past in an effort to be able to get closer to what we truly desire.

Illusive and tender Neptune, which is currently in the water sign Pisces, squares the Full Moon, sensitizing the overall energy. As a result, we will become more emotional and sentimental in matters of the heart, prioritizing ourselves over others. Another effect of Neptune's presence is that our intuition will be heightened, allowing us to see things from a different perspective. Logic will be thrown out the window as we navigate the cosmic climate. Dreams will be prolific, encouraging us to journal our visions in order to make sure that they come true in the future. 

Neptune may urge us to believe in the lies we are told. The reason being is that we want our happily ever after storybook ending, so we'll push ourselves to find resolve in thinking that we can attain it. Be aware that the tales we hear are not the whole truth and we may not gain clarity on such matters until weeks later. However, we will be able to put the pieces together eventually. The biggest form of deception are the falsities we tell ourselves and believe. Try to be real with yourselves.

The centaur Chiron, who is retrograde in Aries, lends a healing hand to the Full Moon. Chiron will enable us to look at matters from an outside view to see how we can mend situations and relationships. The asteroids Eris, who is retrograde in Aries, and Vesta, who is in Libra, add passion and vigor to assure we can fix matters by releasing old and residual feelings that have built up over the last several months. Now, we can work on moving forward in a new direction that is different from the past. 

The fixed star Alnilam connects with the Gemini Moon, bringing optimism and joy our way. Even though moments might seem bleak, Alnilam grants us the determination to plow through the roadblocks holding us back and embrace a new philosophy about matters. If we lean into the positive side of matters and opt to forgive, then we will experience good fortune.

Later in the day, Mercury ends the retrograde journey that began on November 25. Since Mercury is turning direct in Sagittarius, we will be able to comprehend everything confusing and ambiguous matter that manifested over the past weeks. It'll be easy to make amends with others and move forward in relationships because Mercury is enabling us to clear up miscommunications that have recently transpired. 

FULL MOON RITUAL

Communicate and give TLC to yourself! Write a letter to yourself that denotes your fabulousness. Stating all of your attributes and qualities will help boost your confidence and give you the power to believe in yourself. Since Mercury is the planetary ruler of Gemini and has been retrograde, this activity will give us the courage to connect with our true selves. When you're done writing the letter, please stamp it and address it to yourself. Receiving it a few days later will encourage us to set our goals in motion for the new year.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/9-15

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

Venus in Aquarius harmonizes with the North Node of Destiny on December 10th, urging us to step up and define relationships. Two days later, Venus opposes Mars retrograde in Leo, intensifying the way we connect to others. Grievances will be aired, pushing us to debate our feelings and actions. You don't have to participate in this messiness—remain unbothered and focused on yourself. Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius aspects Venus on December 13, allowing us to speak from the heart and make amends. December 15th’s full moon in Gemini occurs hours before Mercury turns direct. Be mindful of what you express.

Don’t create drama just to make a point.

Witch-tip: 

To let go of limiting beliefs that are holding you back, it's important to meditate on what you truly wish to manifest in your life. Concentrate on your soul's desires and identify which beliefs or structures no longer serve you. Take some time to create two lists in your journal: one for what you want to attract and one for what you want to release. Reflect deeply on each item, and write about your feelings regarding them. This process will help you gain clarity on the path you should take.

Aries 

Avoid meltdowns and drama if you can. A good way to deal with this energy is to meditate or count to three before confronting others. This will alleviate the situation and melt away stresses. By the end of the week, you’ll feel worn out and tired. Give yourself a rest.

Taurus 

Try not to put too much pressure on yourself or others right now, and give yourself permission to have some alone time. If you do feel weighed down by emotions or responsibilities, a healthy outlet like walking or stretching can help ground you while releasing the physical symptoms of stress.

Gemini 

Letting go of emotional upsets requires work and takes time. This isn’t something that can be done overnight. However, this week is a chance to allow yourself to get it right and to walk down the path that will inspire you to grow into the person you want to be.

Cancer 

Try not to give up your own sense of peace to make others happy. It is not going to remedy the problems you're experiencing and undergoing. Sweeping emotions and sentiments under the rug never served the greater purpose, it only represses feelings and makes us stifled about our personal situations.

Leo

The opposition between Venus and Mars retrograde makes it challenging to focus on personal responsibilities. You may also feel as though you're being restricted in your movements during the week, which could result in a cagey or temperamental disposition. Luckily, the full moon is the key to unlocking such frustrations.

Virgo

There is hidden information that will be uncovered. It might not be immediate, but it will come out with the bathwater soon. Listen to what people are saying before reacting to ensure you don't tell on yourself and spill your own tea. Stay tuned and be cautious throughout the week.

Libra 

Connecting to loved ones is strongly encouraged. You don't know how others are feeling right now, but that will be soon revealed especially in romantic situations, so just be patient. Relationships in general are going through a phase of affection and evolution as the full moon sorts out the details.

Scorpio 

The full moon kicks up the dust and sends you in a totally different direction. Be prepared for some unexpected news and surprises that have you jumping into new experiences almost instantaneously. The old way of looking at things won't help us evolve, so it is best to look forward.

Sagittarius 

There are many challenges presented that require careful analysis. In fact you might be way too hard on yourself these days especially as trickster Mercury retrograde encourages you to weigh out every situation making it tough to make a final decision. Remember that you know what is best for you.

Capricorn 

There is a feeling of being deeply supported on an emotional scale despite how vulnerable the healing process might be. You are not alone even though it can feel like you're alone these days. Reach out to a friend or family member for guidance to assist you along the way.

Aquarius

The central theme of the week centers around partnerships and those who mirror you on a soul level. The energy commands you to dive into your psychological wounds, and purge them through the energy of the full moon. You will find that you're able to mend relationships and your heart.

Pisces  

There is an internal grappling happening between your personal need to feel secure. You should think about how you wish to proceed and take steps towards planning ahead for your own peace of mind. Create a budget that suggests the best strategy to save money at this moment in time.

Mars Retrograde in Leo and Cancer

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

Mars, the action planet of sex, war, and aggression, begins its moonwalk on December 6 in Leo and turns direct on February 23, 2025, in Cancer. As Mars glides backward in the sky, we are learning how to assert ourselves mindfully. The caveat is that the inability to make strides forward could create frustrations.  

Putting problems on the back burner is ill-advised when Mars retrogrades in Leo because they will only mount up for the future and continue to weigh on your shoulders. Try to discuss issues with others or reach out to those in need. A little compassion will go a long way today and let people know they aren’t alone — the same applies to you. Even though we may become frustrated, releasing the energy through mindful and spiritual endeavors like journaling, meditation, breathing exercises, and yoga is vital.

When Mars retrograde re-enters Cancer on January 6, we won’t be able to suppress our emotions, which means they’re coming out in the open. This isn’t a bad thing. There is a catharsis and personal growth that can help us evolve and change if we allow ourselves to. The only way to deal with the energies at play is to think before expressing yourself and to meditate on what your heart truly wants—then take action towards attaining it.

The following months, during Mars’ post-retroshade shadow, which ends on May 2, 2025, will give us the proper closure and understanding of perplexing situations during the retrograde. As long as we open our hearts and minds toward compassion, we can begin comprehending matters causing uncertainty and anxiety. It’s our job to pay attention to what has been happening and open our eyes to seeing matters. The next few months will be rocky due to the post-retrograde degrees. However, it will allow us to make things right.

key Dates: 

December 6: Mars retrograde commences in Leo. 

January 3, 2025: Mars retrograde opposes Pluto, leading to destructive arguments.

January 5, 2025: Mars retrograde aspects the Nodes of Destiny, cementing fated events.

January 6, 2025: Mars retrograde reenters Cancer.

January 12, 2025: Mars retrograde stifles us when it aligns with Neptune.

January 23, 2025: Mars retrograde sextiles Uranus, urging us to embrace our individuality.

January 23, 2025:  Mars retrograde opposes Mercury, causing conflicts to arise.

January 25, 2025: Mars retrograde and Venus link up, adding sentimentality to the day.

February  9, 2025: Mars retrograde connects with Saturn, creating issues with authority. 

February 23, 2025: Mars retrograde and Mercury harmonize, softening up the energy.

February 23: Mars turns direct in Cancer.

WITCH TIPS & WEEKLY HOROSCOPES 12/2 - 12/8

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

December is set to be an emotionally charged month, starting with Venus in Capricorn harmonizing with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on December 2nd. This alignment will likely bring any repressed feelings to the surface, prompting you to confront what's been hidden. Just two days later, Venus connects with Neptune retrograde in Pisces, adding a dash of passion and desire to your interactions.

Watch out for some drama around December 4th and 7th, as Jupiter retrograde in Gemini opposes Mercury retrograde and the Sun in Sagittarius. These influences can exaggerate situations, so it’s a good idea to take a step back for clarity. On the 4th, the Sun squares Saturn in Pisces, which can feel limiting, but you might find some insight when it aligns with Mercury on the 5th—this is known as the “cazimi” effect, bringing moments of clarity. However, on the 6th, Mercury retrograde and Saturn clash, making it hard to express your true feelings.

Starting December 6, Mars retrograde in Leo will encourage you to conserve your energy and focus on self-love until February 23, 2025. When Venus enters Aquarius on December 7, you may feel more detached in relationships. It’s important to connect with your emotions, especially when Neptune turns direct that evening. Later that day, Venus aligns with Pluto, intensifying feelings and passions.

Finally, on December 8, the First Quarter Moon in Pisces will infuse the week with sentimentality and tenderness, providing a comforting, emotional backdrop. Embrace these energies to navigate the month with awareness and compassion for yourself and others.

Witch-Tips:

Elemental Release for Fear

What You’ll Need:

- A small bowl of water

- A candle (white or your favorite color)

- A piece of paper and a pen

- A handful of soil or small stones

1. Find a quiet area and light your candle. Place the bowl of water nearby to symbolize emotional cleansing.

2. Take a few deep breaths and visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth, anchoring you securely.

3. On the paper, list your fears—be specific and honest.

Invoke the Elements:

•  Earth:Hold the soil or stones in your hands while stating, "With this earth, I ground my fears."

•   Water:Sprinkle water on the paper, saying, "With this water, I cleanse my fears."

• Fire:Burn the paper over the candle flame, declaring, "In these flames, I transform my fears into strength."

• Air:Blow the ashes outside or out of a window, exclaiming, "I release my fears to the wind."

Snuff  out the candle, thanking the elements. Let the bowl of water evaporate as a sign of your release.

Aries 

Your words may not come across clearly, as you  long for the right ways to express what is in your hearts. Finding ways to communicate in an effective way will be tricky, so think before you speak in order to clearly define your intentions with others. Keep an open heart. 

Taurus 

You’re currently being pushed to embrace your emotions and honor the needs of your loved ones. This result could create power struggles or triangular relationships. The good news is that you can use the higher vibration of Pluto, which is to transform, if you are wanting and able to grow. 

Gemini 

As you know, relationships require a lot of work. You are deciding whether or not to pursue them as you head into the future. Therefore, it is important to embrace your freedom today and to allow ourselves to do as you please, without your significant other attached to your hip.

Cancer 

Although astrological  frustrations usually bring extreme tensions to planets, this week is going to add positivity and happiness to your vibe. Your energy will be high, giving you the motivation to take calculated risks and a leap of faith. Take a chance and lean into activities that bring you joy. 

Leo

The universe is taking away people that aren’t meant to be in your life for the next few months. They’ll come back eventually — when the time is right. Don’t stress because everything will work out in the end. Focus on making your existence better by giving yourself extra TLC.

Virgo 

The need to protect your privacy will be essential, as you aren’t wanting to be judged by others. This aspect can also create brain fog, paranoia, and exhaustion. On the flip side, it heightens the romance factor. However, this could lead to believing situations in order to keep the peace. 

Libra 

Your sentiments are intense and can hurt others — that is if you are not careful. Be wise and direct in the words you choose and how you relate to others. You will want to take immediate action to remedy such issues in order to have a successful and thriving life.

Scorpio 

Balance is important, which is why you won’t over-communicate or overexpress yourself at this moment. Rather than arguing back, you’ll opt for a less confrontational and chill way to let your emotions and thoughts be known. Consider meditating on your feelings to understand them on a soulful and spiritual level.

Sagittarius 

If there is a situation that causes emotional hurt due to the intense lunar energy, it’s important that you take the built-up sentiments out while discussing them with close acquaintances or friends. The more you hold things in, the harder it’ll be to release the energy and move past them.

Capricorn 

Winning is an essential part of your being this week. Watch out for feelings of competitiveness that you cannot control, as you have the drive to go up against anyone who starts challenging you. With the right amount of gusto, you will fight outside forces to claim what is yours. 

Aquarius 

Your truest self comes out of the shadows this week, allowing you to showcase your inner being to others. This will bring confidence your way, as others applaud you for not hiding behind a mask anymore. The result is going to be freeing and encourages you to continually express yourself.

Pisces 

The week is full of surprises and excitement, as well as erraticism since you’re seeing situations from a different perspective. Your sentiments will be up and down, adding a tinge of unpredictability to the air. If you ride through the impulsivity, you can make it through to the other side.
