WITCH TIPS

The week starts off with an intense aspect between Mercury retrograde in Taurus and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on May 25 that’s urging us to speak our minds. Venus in Aries squares Pluto retrograde on May 27, highlighting power struggles in relationships. Venus enters Taurus on May 28, making love and relationships seem easier. Mars and Jupiter link up in Aries on May 29, adding stamina towards our goals and expanding our passions. The Gemini New Moon occurs on May 30, which asks us to discuss and heal the past — but only if we are willing, wanting, and ready to.

Being that Pluto is a very active planet this week, it’s important for you to understand the areas in your life that need to evolve and change. This will require you to do a deep meditation to understand all of your relationships. Try to think of the ways in which you can transform the dynamic. How could you be a better person to yourself and others? Once you come to your conclusion or make headway in your thoughts, journal your sentiments in order to keep track of your personal growth.

Aries

Your ambition will be high throughout the week. Remember that you don't have to take on every task at once in order to be successful. Trying to take care of many things at once could lead to mistakes that are hard to recover from later. Move with ease and care.

Tarot Card: The Fool Reversed

Everyone loves the excitement and joy that you put into projects and relationships. The caveat is that you may want to slow down your reactions and stop acting impulsively to avoid reckless behavior that can be detrimental to you. Before speaking and acting, play it out in your head first.

Taurus

Creative and personal freedoms will be important to you right now — especially during the New Moon. It'll be important that you embrace the things that make you unique, so don't be afraid to show your quirky side. Use your thoughts and voice to let your sentiments be known to all.

Tarot Card: Queen of Swords

Take back your power. You are the only one who can make the rules in your life and control the outcomes of your endeavors. Don’t be afraid to assert your opinion, speak up, or make your sentiments known. Use your mental logic and force to help attain your goals and desires.

Gemini

This cosmic climate could bring up trauma from the past, leaving you uncertain about how to move forward. Try to keep in mind that the bad experiences you had in the past have only made you a stronger person. Avoid self-deprecating thoughts or words to make light of your pain.

Tarot Card: 5 of Cups Reversed

So, you didn’t get the promotion, raise, or get the result you wanted. Life works in mysterious ways and you will get something more significant in the future. Although there have been disappointments or setbacks recently, you’re in a place in which you can move forward. You can do this, Gemini!

Cancer

There could be a temptation to emotionally spend right now, but be mindful that you don't blow your budget or you might regret it later. Buy in stride and don’t overindulge to show off your fortunes. Being cognizant of your actions is important and something you should be aware of.

Tarot Card: Page of Pentacles

You’re known to be one of the most reliable friends in your crew. And, you enjoy being the mature one who is able to care for others. Use this energy to help your friends, family, and loved ones to succeed this week. Be the kind shoulder they can lean on.

Leo

Feel free to dream big right now, Leo. Just keep in mind that things will move more slowly right now than they have over the last few days. Rather than feeling impatient, try to look at this as a reprieve and enjoy taking a more relaxed approach to your life.

Tarot Card: 4 of Wands

It’s been a long and challenging road towards emotional wealth, security, and happiness. If you aren’t feeling the love just yet — don’t worry. Positive energy is on its way to you. The moment you feel the wave of goodness and TLC, you’ll want to celebrate this emotion with another.

Virgo

The days ahead are realigning you with your personal power and inspiring you to make changes. This energy is perfect for leaving behind people or situations that are no longer serving you. Don’t be afraid to move on with your life if something or someone has been holding you back.

Tarot Card: Wheel of Fortune

Life keeps going and flowing regardless of the obstacles that come in the way of attaining the end result you want. Therefore, it’s important to relish in the moments that bring joy, luck, and felicity. Instead of looking at the cup as half empty, try to see it as half full.

Libra

Your psychic abilities are on fire now, making it the ideal time to bust out your pendulum or tarot cards. Just remember to take cleansing breaths and exhale all the negative energy around you. This will be especially helpful if you happen to encounter anyone with less-than-ideal vibes.

Tarot Card: The High Priestess

No matter what people say or the advice they offer towards helping you out — the truth of the matter is that only you know what’s good for you. Listen to what your gut and heart is telling you in order to make the best decisions and moves for yourself.

Scorpio

Though the week may feel filled with uncertainty, fluctuating energy levels, and confusion — emotions will clear up during the New Moon. There is too much in flux standing in the way of finding your footing, which is why it’s best to take a step back and relax.

Tarot Card: 9 of Swords

Making a mountain out of a molehill is easy to do — especially when your anxiety and stress are extremely high. Rather than feeding into the worries that have consumed your mind, try to relax and find a moment of calm to decompress. Don’t let fear take over.

Sagittarius

People may be overstepping their boundaries in your relationships this week, which is why it’s important for you to assert your charm and grace in letting them know that they’re out of line. As long as you choose gentle communication, you’ll get your point across easily without the extra drama.

Tarot Card: 6 of Wands

Anything is attainable and achievable as long as you believe in yourself. Have faith in what you’ve accomplished and everything else you have to conquer. This will enable you to strike gold and achieve your dreams — more importantly, regain confidence and beef up your self-esteem for possible future wins.

Capricorn

The balance between your responsibilities and self-care will be an important theme this week. You’ll need to make sure you're checking in with yourself often to avoid running yourself into the ground. This sentiment will gain further traction at the end of the week if you don’t take immediate action.

Tarot Card: The Hanged Man

Being stuck isn’t a place you like to be — mostly because of the cardinal energy within yourself that likes to take action. Getting out of a rut can be tricky, but you can absolutely do it if you try to break old patterns and let go of the past.

Aquarius

Your foundation is shifting and asking you to change paths. Although you’re not wanting to move in a different direction now, take note of other ways in which you can evolve. Even if it’s something minimal, like augmenting your home for the season, it’ll have a big effect on you.

Tarot Card: 10 of Disks Reversed

You’ve come to the end of the road and it’s important to implement new beginnings in your life as a way to shake things up. Take a step back and evaluate your lifestyle to see what needs to be changed other than personal finances and your relationship to material objects.

Pieces

It’s important for you to say how you feel and express yourself with others at this moment in time. The more you hold back, the less you’ll be able to find your emotional footing with your peers. Although it’s hard, speak up to create a healthier dynamic with your friends.

Tarot Card: Justice

The time has come for you to cut through the heart of a matter. Think of the sword as a symbol to push you towards taking actions in making important decisions. If that means taLking matters out until you come to your own truth or fair assessment — so be it.
