 WITCHTIPS

Happy Halloween and Samhain, witches! This weekend brings the spookiest celestial news ever, as we’ll be experiencing a rare Full Blue Moon in Taurus on October 31st. Think that’s intense? The same day, the Scorpio Sun and Uranus, who’s retrograde in Taurus, oppose each other which will intensify our emotions. The following day, Saturn, who’s in Capricorn, hinders Mercury, who’s retrograde in Libra, from expressing ideas and sentiments. Later in the day, Venus, who’s in Libra, opposes the centaur Chiron, who’s retrograde in Aries, giving us a chance to heal our hearts. Mercury ends its retrograde journey in Libra on November 3rd (Election Day). Remember to go out and vote or mail in your ballots! Don’t let the Mercurial shift stand in the way of casting your vote!

 

Aries 

There’s an opportunity to heal old emotional upsets in relationships over the weekend, when Venus and the centaur Chiron oppose each other in the sky. But, the question is whether or not you wish to go back to the past and open old scars. Think about whether or not it’s worth the pain and heartbreak, then take action. You can heal on your own, too. 

 

Taurus 

Your earthly and carnal desires will be unleashed during the Blue Moon, pushing you to use sex magic to manifest your desires into reality. Just when you think your sexual urges couldn’t be aroused more, your senses are pushed to maximum fulfillment when Uranus steps in and spices your life up in ways you could never imagine. Enjoy your weekend of hedonism and sensual experimentation! 

 

Gemini 

Expect fireworks to spark drama within your interpersonal relationships and peer group on November 1st, when Mercury retrograde and Saturn square off. You may feel like your friends are ignoring you and aren’t giving you enough TLC. Don’t get too upset over this matter. You have an opportunity to make amends and mend fences when your planetary ruler, Mercury, ends its moonwalk on November 3rd. 

 

Cancer 

Although you may not know it, this week is an ideal time for you to sweet talk your way back into the good graces of a few friends that you’ve had a recent falling out with. The Blue Moon on October 31st  will act as a catalyst for you to start the process of making up and mending fences with those you’ve had drama with.

 

Leo 

Known to honor loyalty, kindness, sincerity and generosity more than most, this week makes you appreciate how loved you are by others. While most people say that you have a flair for drama, you’re proving them wrong by showing off the kind and lighthearted side of you that’s often overlooked. But, to be real, this is how you act in your purest and truest form. 

 

Virgo 

Calm the harsh criticisms in your heart and mind, by making a list of all your positive attributes. You’re the only one judging you. Recite these affirmations  while looking at yourself in the mirror Squash the criticisms in your head with self-compassion and empathy. You are in the process of blossoming, learning, and growing. Be patient and gentle with yourself this week. Healing takes time.

 

Libra 

It’s been a long, winding, and sometimes rocky road towards healing. For the first time, you’re seeing results of your newly found philosophies. The most important thing to remember is that you have to keep up with the work in order to keep the momentum going and growing. Think of your spirit as a plant that needs to be maintained, watered, and tended to regularly. 

 

Scorpio 

Halloween and Samhain pushes you to feel more emotionally out of sorts than you are used to. Don’t hold back your sentiments. Let the good, the bad, and the ugly come out. The internal release will make you feel as though your energies have been revived and restored. It’ll feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders, removing all of your stresses.

 

Sagittarius 

Finding comfort within acquaintances is becoming more erratic than you could have ever imagined. You may feel emotionally attached by a peer who’s jealous of your happiness during the Blue Moon. The lesson is to keep those people at an emotional distance and to honor those who have thoroughly shown you support and love, whom you are honored to call a friend and vice versa. 

 

Capricorn 

Known for your strong work ethic, this week is when your efforts shine. The world sees you as the top sea-goat in your industry, which is heightened when you get more respect and admiration from your coworkers. You will also receive praise from your boss. Be sure to protect your energy, as you may attract the evil eye, due to your professional acclaim and fame. 

 

Aquarius 

You’ve been feeling stuck and unable to move forward in any direction for a while, but now you’re finally able to take action. Being able to take steps towards your goals will be especially helpful during the Blue Moon, when you are cosmically pushed to evolve and transform your personal beliefs. Then, you will feel energetically freer than ever to grow and spread your wings. 

 

Pisces 

This week acts as a wake up call for you to start implementing boundaries with your peers. If you choose to avoid dealing with such issues and burying your head in the sand, you will feel the emotional sting on November 1st when tender Venus and healing centaur Chiron oppose each other. Instead, use this time as a chance to mend issues and transform relationships.
