WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/16-12/22

WITCH TIPS

This week brings many cosmic shifts that will rock our worlds to the core (for the better). Saturn re-enters Aquarius on December 17th, taking us back to March 21st to July 1st (when Saturn first moved into Aquarius). This sets off a new journey around using humanitarianism in one’s work and choosing the needs of the community over selfish desires. The Sun and Mercury meet up in Sagittarius on December 19th, making us see and understand  things from a clearer perspective than before. Jupiter moves into Aquarius on the 19th, consuming us with evolving our minds, spirits, and hearts. Mercury moves into Capricorn on December 20th, ushering us to use our words and to be direct with our sentiments. The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21st, the same day as the Winter Solstice, signifying change and transformation. The First Quarter Moon in Aries on December 21st will signify a fresh start and major emotional release as we head into a new season. The Great Conjunction occurs on December 21st, unifying Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. This is the first time that these planets have linked up in the sign of Aquarius in over 600 years (the last time was January 7th, 1405). The last Great Conjunction occurred 20 years ago in the sign of Taurus. We’ll feel inspired to evolve at this time. But, our fears may hold us back from taking action. Move at your own pace. Ebb and flow through this transformative astrological transit. 


Aries 

This week’s cosmic energy can weigh you down if you're not careful. When you're feeling blue about personal matters and uninspired, do something to take action towards causes you’re passionate about. By placing energy in the change you want to see, you'll feel better about your place in this world.


Taurus 

Allow yourself to try innovative and embrace techniques that will expand your mind. You’ll even want to play in the creative realms a bit. By exploring new things, your mind will open up to different ways that can hep you improve upon finding structure in your current structures and routines. 


Gemini

Take some time to consider which of your friends and acquaintances are supportive and positive, versus the ones who aren't. It's ok to step back from people who don't have your best interests at heart. The more positivity you surround yourself with, the more you’ll rise up in your community.


Cancer 

Tensions with friends that have been swept under the rug will likely come to a head during the Great Conjunction on the 21st, forcing you to make any necessary changes in relationships that you’ve been avoiding throughout the year. Be kind, compassionate, and gentle when expressing your needs to others. 


Leo 

Love has been a major theme of your life lately. Now, you’re unsure about whether you want to commit to your special someone. This uncertainty will persist for quite some time; therefore, it’s imperative that you think carefully about the future of your relationship before making moves in any direction.


Virgo 

You’re embracing the cosmic energy with optimism this week. You’re opening yourself up to new possibilities with enthusiasm. The caveat is that you may take on more than you can chew, which will inhibit you from being able to focus solely on work and finish projects in a timely manner.


Libra 

Your creativity may feel blocked throughout the week, especially during the Great Conjunction on December 21st. Ease into projects and don’t put too much pressure on yourself to make art. You will get back in the flow of things soon, if you stop forcing it to come out of you. 


Scorpio 

You will have you rethinking the next moves you want to make at work this week. To be honest, this may even push you to take some much needed time off in order to regroup and reassess your future plans. Do what’s best for you (and you alone) right now. 


Sagittarius 

Your past is holding you back from taking the lead in all areas of your life. Do what you must do in an effort to make peace with your personal history in an effort to move forward now. Release old karma to make way for new possibilities in this moment. 


Capricorn 

The pressures of professional and public responsibilities are highlighted this week. It may be time to release some strict expectations you have put on yourself throughout the years and release these negative sentiments. This will push you to move towards the next dream or vision that you have for yourself. 


Aquarius 

Being the generous person that you are, it’s always hard to ensure that you are doing the right thing. Don’t overextend your wallet to a friend in need, even though you really want to help them out. Saying “no” when asked for a loan will were necessary boundaries in place. 


Pisces

Your intimate relationships are mirroring your actions, which is inhibiting growth happening within you. Be careful about how you show or project your feelings to others. Don’t be afraid to show the “real” you, even if that means being more vulnerable and open with those who are in your life.
