Witch Tips

The Sun shifts from dynamic Aquarius to super-sensi Pisces this week, and that means that we’re gonna be feeling the shifts that have taken place over the last month way more energetically. Get ready for heightened empathy and a potential slowing down of vital energies. The vibe is hella deep during Pisces Season, so it’s wise to let yourself gestate instead of jumping to conclusions.

Take a breath and regroup this week. Mercury – the planet of your mind, attitudes, and changeability – is super active this week. As expansive Jupiter, energizing Mars, and innovative Uranus engage with the chatty planet, we’ll be able to make connections and come to greater understanding about whatever came up with last week’s Eclipse/Full Moon. Figure out your feels, loves! None of this will happen without your care and effort, of course. Support your mental health as a way to sustain your emo and psychic wellness.

Blue Kyanite is available HERE

In efforts of finding some inner peace so you can carve out greater clarity, let me introduce you to my good friend Blue Kyanite.

This stone is the perfect tool for calming and clearing your mind, so you can solve problems.  It’s excellent for supporting your meditation practice because it helps to promote tranquility and to strengthen your psychic mind. Seek balance and composure this week to support the inner conditions your need to sustain you. Be the change you want to see in the world, bb.

In the words of Warsan Shire, by way of Queen Yoncé: If we are going to heal, let it be glorious.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

When you’re more fixated on what you want to avoid than what you’re trying to attract into your life, it’s easy to get messy results. Making good decisions requires you to have clear motives. This is a great week for making connections, figuring out plans, and sharing ideas with others. The thing to watch out for is getting too scattered, Aries. Make sure that whatever you bring into your life is of high quality and not just more of the same.

­TAURUS

April 20-May 20

It’s the things that freak you out most that are begging for your attention. This week you may feel like avoiding something or someone for fear of having upsetting dynamics play out. ‘What you resist will persist’, my friend. Be brave and deal directly with things, even if you are overwhelmed by your feels. The only way for your life to change is if the way you deal with it changes first. Shift your approach to get a new outcome. Don’t let your fears stop you, Taurus.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

It’s real hard to be an adult sometimes. There are so many things that you’re responsible for, and the more you care about your life, the higher the stakes are. This week, try to find your stride as you make decisions and the plans needed to follow through with them. It’s easy for your energies to get scattered when you’re spread too thin or don’t have a clear plan of action. Break your big picture plans down into bite-sized pieces, and get to work, step by step, Twin Star.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

If you think everything is fine and someone you care about has the problem, like it or not it’s gonna be your problem too. This week it’s important to listen to other people’s feelings, even if it’s a total bummer. You don’t get to decide for others what they should feel or how your behavior impacts them. All you have power over is what you do and how you respond to the consequences. Have grace with interpersonal upsets this week, Moonchild.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

It can be hard out here for a Leo. Sometimes you’re overwhelmed by your worst-case scenarios, and it’s hard to move on from that kind of thinking, regardless of how badly you want to. It’s hard to change your focus and think of the positives. This week you’re on call to honor your feelings, no matter what they are. Carve out time to be where you’re at and then keep on keeping on, friend. You will make the most of your life by honoring all your parts – not just the fun ones.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

You don’t have to secure world peace or pay off your whole mortgage this month. Everything doesn’t have to get done right away in order for you to be on track with getting it done in its right time. This week is testing your ability to stay present in the presence of pressing stress and pressure. Take a first step, Virgo. Do what you can in a healthy way today, and then take a break. You don’t need to be perfect; you only need to keep moving.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Don’t ignore your instincts, Libra. Find a quiet place to get grounded, and take stock of what you’re doing and what your instincts have to say about it. Try not to worry so much about the details of your story, and get connected to the big picture instead. Investigate your choices and the direction that they’re pointing you in so that you can come to peace with them or make changes. Love yourself enough to put your own inner knowing ahead of what anyone else says this week.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Your sign is known for being able to hold onto a grudge, and that reputation didn’t come out of nowhere, Scorpio. Don’t punish yourself for making a mistake or not doing or feeling what you think you should. Life is hard enough without you being mean to yourself on top of it. This week, find one thing to focus on that you can make objectively positive steps forward with. Focus on small successes that help you adjust your attitude and ease your way, my love.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

You’re strong and capable and full of life-giving energy, ‘Tarius. You’re also pretty averse to feeling pain when you can avoid it. This week you can use your Super-Sadge-Power to help you feel good – even when things aren’t so good – or to valiantly confront your problems. You may have to make changes that have some scary repercussions, but check your fears; don’t maintain the status quo at all costs. Let go of what isn’t working, so you can let something better in.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You’ve gotta go through it to get to it, Cappy. This week you’re moving through some rocky inner terrain and that kinda bites. There’s a bigger picture to your problems, though, and it can bring you meaning if you’re willing to look for it. You’re here – in this place, at this time – for a reason. Find your calling, the thing that you feel that you can bring to the world, your community, or the feral cats in your yard. You’re here, so get to work, my love.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

It’s time to take a stand, Aquarius. You’re a smarty-pants and can make sense of just about anything, but that doesn’t mean you believe in what you’re saying. This week, your mind is firing on all cylinders (yay!) and you will make the most of it if you can get decisive. Whether you need to make decisions, follow through with plans, or touch base with others, this is a time for making connections that reflect your beliefs and values. Rise to the challenge, my love.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Your fears can make you want to escape into a fantasy world sometimes, and who could blame you? Life is hard and times are tough. The problem with escapism is that the world full of its problems is waiting for you when you come back from your vacation. Don’t delay, Pisces. This week, you can and should deal head-on with your problems, no matter how daunting they seem.
