WITCH TIPS

This week brings personal transformation and evolution to us — even though we may not be ready to make the necessary changes that we need to. Mars, who’s in Virgo, opposes Neptune, who’s retrograde in Pisces, on September 2. This cosmic event will make us feel stuck and unable to move forward in matters. Light a road opener candle or wash your floors with Abre Camino in the evening to get the energy flowing. Mercury, who’s in Libra, harmonizes with the Nodes of Destiny on September 3 and Saturn, who’s retrograde in Aquarius, on September 4. Movement will begin to happen then around our creative thoughts and projects, which will lighten up the vibe. Venus, who’s in Libra, squares off with Pluto, who’s retrograde in Capricorn, on September 5, making power struggles peak. Rather than argue, think about how you can implement positive changes into your life. The New Moon in Virgo links up with Uranus, who’s retrograde in Taurus. The New Moon occurs on September 6 and urges us to mindfully evolve and grow. Mars and Pluto retrograde connect on September 6, adding strength and tenacity to our goals. Venus and Jupiter, who’s retrograde in Aquarius, round out the energy on September 6, by adding positive sentiments and inspiration into our worlds.

Aries 

Other people's success has no bearing on your own. People around you want you to succeed, which is why you have to stop feeling paranoid and jealous. The only way to attain greatness is to let your creative projects continue to take shape and to solely focus on your goals.

Taurus 

You've had a lot on your mind lately that you want to share with your community. Step up onto your soapbox, but be intentional with your words. You are a vessel by which information flows through. You should be aware that your words carry weight, and that people are listening.

Gemini 

You may find yourself lost in your thoughts or playing a situation over and over in your mind. Consider ways to release the grip this situation has on you, especially if it’s having an effect on your self-worth. This energy could carry on. Do your best to work through it.

Cancer 

Before you share your inner sentiments, ask yourself if you trust the people who you’re letting into your personal realm. You may discover that not all of them are worthy of knowing your secrets. Instead of discussing your feelings, see if they are willing to let their skeletons be known.

Leo 

Relationships have been complicated as of late. The more affection you get from others, the less you want to give (and vice versa). Try to keep your entanglements on a level playing field. If not, then think about whether these partnerships are the right investment of time for you now.

Virgo 

More often than not you put others before yourself. This week is the time to be more selfish and to focus solely on your needs. It’s not wrong to ensure you’re taken care of before giving your energy out — it’s smart to give yourself lots of love and attention.

Libra 

Everyone needs time away to chill and relax with loved ones. Use this week’s energy to focus on merging your energy with the people you care about most. The more time you give to rest your sentiments and peacefully meditate on your thoughts, the bigger your loving cup will be.

Scorpio 

If you’ve been feeling restless it’s because you are debating what path you need to focus on. Use this week to hone in the energy and goals that you want to work on in order to ensure you can create the professional, social, academic, and personal roads that you want.

Sagittarius 

You’ve been stuck and in limbo for quite some time, which is why this week is proving to be positive in moving the energy forward. With the right push, you can manifest the visions you want and make them a reality. Instead of feeling stagnant, you’ll be freer in life.

Capricorn 

You aren’t feeling as though you want to commit to projects that you’ve been working on for the past months. It’s ok to refresh and reassess the endeavors that you’ve been working on. You are allowed to make changes along the way and inspire growth in all that you do.

Aquarius 

You have the power to create the change you want, even if you feel as though things are out of your control. Before you throw your hands up in the air, know that you call the shots in your own life and can adjust situations to work in your favor.

Pisces 

Letting go of the past is hard, as you tend to reflect on matters on a deep level. You don’t have to disengage from memories, but it’s important to not live in a moment that no longer exists. By disconnecting little by little, you’ll have a restored sense of being.
