WITCH TIPS

Happy Samhain, Halloween, and Dia de los Muertos!

Venus, who’s in Sagittarius, harmonizes with Jupiter, who’s in Aquarius, on October 28 and brings our tender sentiments to the surface of our consciousness. Mars enters Scorpio on October 30, allowing us to take action and make decisions on an intuitive level. The Scorpio Sun and Saturn, who’s in Aquarius, square off on October 30. This will have an intense effect on our confidence. Be gentle with yourselves and others on the 30th! Mercury connects with Jupiter on November 1, then shares a fraught aspect with Pluto, who’s in Capricorn (the third time these planets squared off this season, the other occurrences were September 22 and October 1). This will make communication tense and frustrating. Use your words wisely and with compassion.

Aries

Embrace your inner strength and stand up against those who aim to bring you down. Your bravery, humility, and kindness will help you to channel the energy of the collective and of yourself. Before you know it, you’ll be able to assert your will and sentiments unapologetically while honoring yourself.

Taurus 

Let your intuition guide you in making the best career decisions that will help to elevate your status. As long as you stay true to the vision that you want to put out there, you’ll be able to attain all the goals, dreams, and aspirations that you have always wanted.

Gemini 

Never one to hold onto the boundaries that are set in place, you’re learning to respect the limits set upon you in relationships and uphold the boundaries that you set forth for others. Remember, it takes two to tango. You have to respect and play by the rules as well.

Cancer 

Power struggles with others may bring you down this week. All you can do is learn how to handle conflict — especially with those that you care about. Rather than holding back on your emotions then erupting, you’ll find better tactics to express how you feel in a loving way. 

Leo 

This week calls for personal reflection in order to understand the best roads to navigate in the upcoming days. It’s not that you’re unsure of how to move forward, but you want to align yourself with something that ignites the higher minded parts of yourself that speaks to your heart. 

Virgo 

Sometimes you are too fair, which can be difficult if you're being wronged. Even in the face of adversity, the best thing to do is to handle matters in an authentic manner. Then you can walk away from the matter knowing that you gave it your all and did your best.

Libra 

Abundance and prosperity comes to those who are willing to make essential financial changes. Although it’s been a while since you’ve been able to attain monetary gain, this week opens up the roads to personal success and heightens your bank account. Financial growth and wellness can happen, now that you’re ready. 

Scorpio 

With your confidence at a high, there is nothing that you can’t achieve. Now that you are willing and wanting to make a big splash into the deep end of the ocean, you will be able to seek out all the objectives and desires that you want on a deep level.

Sagittarius

You’ve been relying on fate and destiny to bring your dreams to light. However, the most important and essential ingredient in any spell is you. As long as you are clear with your aims and desires, it’ll be easier for you to move towards personal merit and success this week.

Capricorn 

Stop trying to fight and resist the changes that are happening in your world. The moment you lean into them and accept these situations, you’ll be able to move along and flow easily with them. An open heart and mind will guide you along the way in your personal journey. 

Aquarius 

You are in the midst of a huge metamorphosis that will heal your life. The sweet spot is at the end of the week and allows you to salve old emotional wounds and mend your broken heart. Use this time to your advantage and give yourself TLC through the process. 

Pisces 

Augmenting and correcting bad habits can be harder than it looks, which is why this week calls for you to make a plan on how you want to change the problems and make them better. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself in how you transform. Take it day-by-day, Pisces.
