Witch Tips

We kick off this week with an excessive energy from the Aries Sun squaring off with Jupiter in Capricorn on the 15th. Earlier in the day, healing asteroid Chiron links up with communication planet Mercury in Aries, mending past wounds with promising words. Mercury connects with Venus, who’s in Gemini, and Saturn, who’s in Aquarius, on the 18th. This airy connection will give us time to rethink our passions and desires. We’ll choose to align and commit to practicality, even if our heart’s current dualistic nature isn’t sure it wants to play by the rules. The Sun enters Taurus on the 19th, boosting our creativity and sensuality. The next day, the Sun gets a fated connection from the Nodes of Destiny that can change our lives for the better. However, we shouldn’t let the good news get to our heads, as the Sun and Saturn square off on the 21st, making us rethink these endeavors — even forcing us to come up with a new plan for the future. 


Aries 

March 21 - April 19

Taking accountability for past actions (which may not paint you in the best way) may be hard, considering that you’re not ready to own up to your mistakes. Being honest about your motives and role in a bad situation will allow others to understand you on a deeper level. In return, they’ll applaud you for coming clean and for your sincerity in the matter. You don’t have to play games anymore. The truth always wins. 


Taurus 

April 20 - May 20

It has been a long time since you’ve taken time out from your daily routine and focused solely on your personal desires. Align yourself with your innermost visions and try to make moves to implement them into reality. Even though it may be hard to bring your goals to fruition right away, you’ll at least have an outline and understanding of where you’re headed in the future if you lean into your dreams this week. 


Gemini 

May 21 - June 20

Currently, you are evolving, by working through karmic lessons. Having repeatedly made the same mistakes, you’re trying to learn from  the past. You’re healing and mending old emotional upsets. However, it’s a process and patience is necessary. You’ll let go of some past hang ups and start to work towards alleviating heartache. It takes time to work through lifetimes of pain, so don’t rush the process. You’re on your way towards enlightenment and spiritual evolution. 


Cancer 

June 21 - July 22

It’s time to take note of your interpersonal relationships and decide who you want to dedicate more energy to (and who you do not). What you’ll find is that some of your friendships are one-sided and need to be cut off. Through this process, you’ll be able to figure out who your true pals are. This will help you to feel more secure in your relationships, as you’ll value (and be valued by) certain people. 


Leo

July 23 - August 22

Always on the road to move swiftly ahead, you tend to skip over the essential necessary first steps of evolving your goals and life. The lesson here is for you to slow down. Don’t rush through feelings and decisions. Things will happen in stride. You are very ambitious, but you need to cool off before you use all your energy and burn yourself out. After all, there are only so many hours in the day. 


Virgo 

August 23 - September 22

You need a break from daily stresses. Take a little time out of the week to yourself to heal, by implementing much needed self-care into your daily repertoire. Treat yourself to a crystal bath, with sea salt and a dash of Florida Water to cleanse your auric field. As a result, you will feel ready to take on the world again. You’ll also be mentally prepared to deal with any situation that comes your way. 


Libra 

September 23 - October 22

Your consciousness is now growing and evolving. This will enable you  to let go of past upsets and transform your inner perspective. This week will bring all your internalized and suppressed feelings out to play, but you will have the opportunity to heal — if you choose to release residual pain and trauma within. Learning to forgive yourself will prove challenging, but necessary. Be easy on yourself. Let your heart guide you towards internal mindful restoration.


Scorpio 

October 23 - November 21

Personal evolution is a complicated thing. Working towards growth is a catch-22 in the sense that you are manifesting desires that you may feel have no where to bloom. Although it seems like there’s no direction and incentive for you to transform your vibe at the moment, circumstances will change soon and you’ll be able to move towards growth and change. Keep the faith within yourself. And, no matter what, do not give up now. 


Sagittarius 

November 22 - December 21

Your “can do” attitude is taking on many tasks this week — all of which are beneficial to your professional future. The caveat is that you may not agree with the direction of the tasks at hand. This will lead you to argue with your superiors and colleagues. Before asserting your fiery vibe at others, take a step back and strategize. Don’t let your passions and pride get in the way of achieving your goals. 


Capricorn 

December 22 - January 19

Your heart is reaching new heights, as romance is filling the air you breathe. For the first time in a while, you’re blending your creativity and sentimental desires, which will open your sweet nature up to love. You’re letting people know how you feel about them and not holding back on expressing your tender sentiments. In return, you’ll get the appreciation and gentleness you crave right now. Drunk up, Capricorn, love is waiting for you! 


Aquarius 

January 20 - February 18

This week, you’re debating the next phase of your life. You’ve made headlines and waves in your career, but now you are thinking about ditching the glitz and glamour for a simpler life. While this may be challenging, due to your insatiable determination to be number one, you are realizing that there’s more to your existence than fame and acclaim. Your values are shifting, making you reassess long term plans and trajectory you’ve mapped out.


Pisces 

February 19 - March 20

As a gentle being, it’s easy for you to get wrapped up in others and forget how to assert your desires (because you merge into one with others). Absorbing their energy can allow you to be gaslighted, as you become wrapped up in their emotions. You can only see when you’re wrong, but not when you’re right. And, this week you’re 100% correct in all of your feelings, thoughts, and sentiments. Listen to your gut.
