WITCH TIPS

Here we are, standing at the impetus of change. The world is evolving and we, as a collective, are taking our power back from those who have abused their authority for centuries. The Universe is transforming and evolving fast, which we will feel and see this week, as the collective is being heard. 

Mercury retrograde begins on June 16th at 9:59PM PST and 12:59AM EST on June 17th in Cancer, marking a time of reflection and growth from the past. The retrograde will last until July 12th. Mars, who’s in Pisces, connects with Pluto, who’s retrograde in Capricorn, on the 18th, enabling us to initiate our inner passions. The Gemini Sun links up with the North Node of Destiny on June 19th, making that day a fated time to assert our desires and will. The Summer Solstice and Cancer Season start on June 20th, kicking off a month long deep dive into our emotions and intuition. Mars and Jupiter, who’s retrograde in Capricorn, expand on the dream from the 18th on June 20th. The total solar eclipse in Cancer occurs on June 21st, igniting our hearts to move towards its desires. Neptune begins its six month backstroke in Pisces on June 23rd, adding confusion in how to make our eclipse intentions a reality. Don’t fret! We’ll find that with determination and certitude it can be done. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

Aries 

March 21 - April 19

Inner conflicts will arise that will pull at your heartstrings. Don’t put your sentiments on the back burner in an effort to avoid dealing with them. Try not to be afraid to deal with these issues. Once you confront them, you’ll be able to find the root of your feelings.  

Taurus 

April 20 - May 20

Life may throw you some curveballs this week, creating delays in getting projects off the ground. Don’t stress or worry about the little details (even though this will be hard not to). Look at matters from 100,000 feet away in order to see the bigger picture and to gain clarity. 

Gemini 

May 21 - June 20

Working hard isn’t the problem, getting paid is the issue. There may be problems with receiving funds from work after a hard week’s work. Before you pop off at your boss, ask for your money firmly. Work with them to resolve the matter even if it’s frustrating to deal with. 

Cancer 

June 21 - July 22

You’re feeling a little out of control at the moment and to be honest, who can blame you? Finding a deeper understanding of personal matters will help you evolve and grow, but it may open old emotional wounds that don’t need to be reignited. Be gentle with yourself this week. 

Leo 

July 23 - August 22

Oftentimes you roar before you think about how your loud wail affects others. Finding a more peaceful and tender way to express your sentiments this week will not only help to improve relationships, but it will also let others hear you out before they respond defensively to your passionate bellowing. 

Virgo 

August 23 - September 22

Connecting with old friends will warm your heart. But, before you become besties with some members of your crew again, it’s important to keep in mind that they may project some of their past insecurities onto you. Kindly remind them that you only want to move forward, not backwards now. 

Libra 

September 23 - October 22

The unpredictable is now becoming the norm for you, as life keeps throwing unforeseen circumstances your way. Before you get emotional, use your airy logic and innate intellect to navigate the next steps needed to move away from these dilemmas and into a place of certainty. Most importantly, think positively. 

Scorpio 

October 23 - November 21

Getting all of the cold hard facts on matters will be hard, as you are lost in a bubble of confusion and emotion. Before leaning towards one side of a situation, allow yourself to keep an open mind. After all, anything is possible. The bizarre may prove to be legit. 

Sagittarius 

November 22 - December 21

It’s never too late to say you’re sorry, even though your pride may stand in the way. Owning your part will clear negative vibes within and create a healing space that you can help you grow. The caveat is that you may not be ready to face the past now. 

Capricorn 

December 22 - January 19

Dealing with old relationship drama isn’t something you regularly engage in, but you may be unwittingly drawn into an argument. Try to take the high road, instead of arguing about the past (which doesn’t exist anymore). Reply with kindness and compassion, but do not engage in the drama beyond that. 

Aquarius 

January 20 - February 18

It’s ok to feel exhausted every now and again — especially during this week’s cosmic line up. Turn off your phone, log off social media, and indulge yourself in some good old fashioned R & R to rejuvenate your body, mind, & spirit. You’ve earned the right to chill out. 

Pisces 

February 19 - March 20

You may be feeling a little emotionally lost this week, mostly because you are swimming in uncharted waters these days. Keep your fins up, sweet Pisces. You’ll be swimming in less turbulent waters by midweek, which will give you a moment of reflection to figure things out without any interruptions.

WITCH TIPS

This week brings necessary changes, beginnings, and endings our way — all of which will better our spirit and hearts. We kick off the week with Mercury, who’s retrograde, reentering Aquarius on March 4th. Mercury’s moonwalk will take us back to the story that was unravelling in our personal lives in the beginning of February. We will have the chance to revisit those events and change the outcome of them. Mercury and Venus softly connect, while Venus is in the last degree of Aries, giving us a tender push to assert our romantic feelings towards others. Venus enters Taurus on March 4th, allowing us all to embrace our flirty, sensual, and creative sides. The Sun and Neptune link up in the sign of dreamy Pisces on the 8th, adding sentimentality and confusion to our thoughts. Later in the day, on March 8th, Venus and Uranus align in the sign of Taurus, making us all see romantic and financial matters from a different perspective. March 9th brings the Super Worm Full Moon in Virgo, which will bring truths to the surface. Mercury ends its retrograde journey the same day (but, will be roaming through the Retroshade zone until March 29th). Lastly, Venus and the Nodes of Destiny make a fated connection on the 9th, bringing us fresh opportunities and possibilities — even new relationships. 

Aries 

March 21 - April 19

It’s time you take note that life is one big juggling act. While it may be hard to keep up with the daily occurrences in all areas of your life, it’s important that you are able to keep such endeavors in constant flow. You need to learn how to manage and prioritize your time more effectively. This will help you find solace throughout the week and not get overwhelmed if unforeseen issues come your way. 

Taurus 

April 20 - May 20

Giving back to the local community is a sentiment that has been on your mind for quite some time. Finally, you have found a cause that’s close to your heart that you’ll want to advocate for. Call your coven for assistance to spread the word to others. With your help (and the assistance of your coven) you’ll change the world by giving attention to those in need and to charitable organizations that need your aid. 

Gemini 

May 21 - June 20

Use your chameleon-like energy to transform yourself into the person of your dreams this week. With a little cosmic help (under the Full Moon), you’ll be able to shed the past and let go of outdated thoughts you’ve had regarding who you “should” be. You can create the path you desire on your terms. This will allow you to take back your power and create the life you crave on your terms with no apologies. 

Cancer 

June 21 - July 22

Letting your guard down isn’t a bad thing. It’s ok to be emotionally vulnerable with others every now again. Contrary to what you may think, it doesn’t make you a pushover. Being open with others and sharing your feelings is a strong sentiment. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it’s proof that your tough shell is softening up and allowing you to express yourself freely without the fear of being judged by others. 

Leo 

July 23 - August 22

You’re learning that it’s important to admit and apologize when you’re wrong (which is a big emotional step for you). Or, at least take responsibility for part of the drama that’s occurred in your relationships. This week will allow you to kiss and make up with members of your inner circle. You’ll be able to move forward with others, as long as you own your part in the situation and offer them a sincere apology. 

Virgo 

August 23 - September 22

You’ve been trying to make all of your relationships work (including your intimate one-on-one partnerships) for the past few weeks by giving all of your energy to them. The issue you are now facing is that you’re emotionally exhausted from working hard for affection and attention from others. All of which is why it’s essential for you to set boundaries and decide if you want to proceed with these relationships (if so, in what direction). 

Libra 

September 23 - October 22

Lately, you’ve been projecting a lot of your issues onto others. This tactic is allowing you to shift the blame and place it upon someone else. Deciphering between your insecurities and theirs will be hard, as it’s challenging to recognize and take ownership of one’s flaws. Bringing conscious awareness to this issue within will help you to evolve. Also, releasing anger and frustrations in a healthy way (like yoga and meditation) is key for you. 

Scorpio 

October 23 - November 21

Your romantic past has come back to haunt you, causing you to reflect on your personal views. Reflecting on what could’ve, would’ve, should’ve been will have a deep effect on you, as you’re going to change how you proceed with your current relationships. Learning from the past will help you to open your heart to real love. All of the heartbreaks and wins you’ve endured will allow you to create the partnership you truly desire. 

Sagittarius 

November 22 - December 21

You’re quite the busy bee this week! Many of your professional endeavors are finally coming together, firing up your creative and intellectual passions. Not only that, but your finances are beginning to finally come together. Words of advice: Strike while the iron is hot. Try to use this week’s energy as a jumping board to pitch new projects for the future, so your bank account is always lush and your professional calendar is always full. 

Capricorn 

December 22 - January 19

No one knows more than you how much the truth can hurt. While you may find honesty to be essential, you may find that you’re being gaslighted by your coworkers and boss. They aren’t being completely upfront with you regarding projects you are interested in pursuing. Don’t fret! The professional matter will change and reverse itself by the end of the week. You’ll get the promotion, project, and a raise. In the meantime, chill out. 

Aquarius 

January 20 - February 18

Communication will be strained this week, as a result of Mercury moonwalking on your Sun. Instead of running away and avoiding the frenetic energy, try to embrace it. Connect with old friends and make amends with those you’ve had conflict with in the past. Revisit former creative projects or hobbies. As long as you work with the energy and not against it, you’ll fly high. You can carry lapis lazuli with you, if you’re worried. 

Pisces 

February 19 - March 20

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Then, it’s time for you to take an emotional and mental break from your daily stresses. You may 

hibernate at home by taking relaxing baths to detox and unwind. Or, even reading a book. One thing is certain — you need time off and away from others to focus on you. Escaping every now and again with the intention of self-care is essential and necessary to mend the spirit.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 2/26/~3/3/2020

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

Mercury, who’s retrograde in Pisces, gently connects with Mars, who’s in Capricorn, on the 26th. Later in the day, Mercury links you with the Nodes of Destiny. These soft cosmic collisions occurring on the 26th will serve to help us understand our former and current dreams in a big way. This sentiment will be further felt on the 28th, when Mercury retrograde and Uranus, who’s in Taurus, align in the cosmos. Venus, who’s in Aries, squares off with Pluto, who’s in Capricorn, on the 28th. This fraught Venusian energy has a restrictive aspect with Saturn, who’s in Capricorn, on March 3rd. Venus and Pluto will bring drama our way in terms of triangular situations with paramours, friendships, money, and familial relationships — which may force us to act out. Saturn comes in a few days later and puts a stop to these situations and issues. The overall cosmic lesson we’ll learn this week is that our old tricks don’t hold power anymore. As a result, we’ll have a different relationship with the past and a better understanding of where we are headed (especially under the First Quarter Moon in Gemini on March 2nd) — only if we are open to growth and change. 

Aries 

March 21 - April 19

You may be experiencing professional power plays with those you work with and are in your inner circle. While this may initially make you want to run away from your professional obligations for a bit, you’ll find that it’s best for you to confront those who aim to tear you down. Standing your ground and making your sentiments known will help control and end the situation, as no one will want to cross you again. 

Taurus 

April 20 - May 20

Acknowledging lessons from the past will allow you to never make the same mistakes again. While this may cause you to guard your heart with lock and key, you’ll be able to make informed decisions about the present and future. Remember to always put yourself first. You’re a strong and powerful person who can not only dream big, but also manifest your desires. Use your tenacity to create the friendships you want in your life. 

Gemini 

May 21 - June 20

It may be challenging for you to implement boundaries with others, especially since you’re the one who can’t stay in their lane. Creating limits for yourself will be extremely hard, considering that you like to be overly involved in other people’s lives. Take a step back this week and don’t participate in drama that has nothing to do with you. You’ll be grateful that you didn’t get involved, as it’s not your battle to fight. 

Cancer 

June 21 - July 22

Opening up to new possibilities is a challenge for everyone — even you. But, this week you’re allowing yourself to redefine yourself in a philosophical way. Meaning, you’re allowing yourself to understand different ideas and ways of thinking. Also, the minds of others. You’re stepping out of your comfort zone and seeing matters clearly. Be mindful and understand that the truth you uncover has multi-dimensions to it and you are only beginning to unravel it. 

Leo

July 23 - August 22

The majority of your energy is greatly spent on what others are feeling and doing at the moment. If you took some of that power back and used it on fixing your personal situations, you’d be able to achieve all of your goals. Instead of worrying about others, bring the energy you give to others to yourself this week. You will find that you’re able to successfully move forward in all avenues as a result.

Virgo 

August 23 - September 22

Triangular situations may come to a head this week, particularly in the realm of romantic liaisons. To be fair, you’re not looking to start up two relationships at the same time or connect with a former lover (it may be on your accord or your partner’s). Although there may be unfinished emotional business to attend to, you don’t have to participate in the love triangle. Three is a crowd. Focus on your needs and desires. 

Libra

September 23 - October 22

More often than not, you take your time weighing both sides of a situation before taking action. This week, you may feel forced to make decisions quickly without thinking the matters thoroughly through (which is the mode you prefer). Although your colleagues, family, and friends may be pushing you to speed up your thought process — don’t! You need to make informed choices before signing off on projects or contracts that could impact you negatively.

Scorpio 

October 23 - November 21

You have been feeling as though others are overlooking your skills and not paying attention to you (or giving you as much love as you’d like). Ego hits, big or small, are brushing your confidence at the moment. However, by week’s end, you’ll see the light of the matter, wholeheartedly will make you reassess the relationship you have with yourself. Your confidence will sprout and bloom with positive and healthy feelings you have for yourself. 

Sagittarius 

November 22 - December 21

It’s important that you take stock of your personal beliefs this week, as you may find they are in flux. Your ideals are changing, allowing you to see certain circumstances and people with rose colored glasses. You’re making amends with frustrating situations and giving those who’ve hurt you the chance to explain themselves. Forgiveness is different than forgetting. You can accept an apology, but it’s against your nature to forget. Keep this sentiment in mind. 

Capricorn 

December 22 - January 19

The good news is that you’re feeling stronger than you have in a very long time. The bad news is that you’re lost in emotion and unsure of your next move. Instead of hiding from the world and your responsibilities, allow things to remain up in the air. This indecisive plan of action is totally out of character for you. However, it will allow you to be certain of your choices when you make them.

Aquarius 

January 20 - February 18

You don’t have to be financially successful to feel good about yourself. In fact, this week will help you to understand that materialism and your relationship to earthly possessions don’t define you. The connection you have to your spirituality and magic are the essence of who you are at the core. Money and riches will not effect your bohemian vibe. The relationship you have with yourself and nature will prove to be all that matters.

Pisces 

February 19 - March 20

A poet by nature, this week gives you the chance to put your sweet voice to use by expressing your inner views to others. Although it may be hard to discuss your emotions, you’ll be cosmically pushed to speak about the past to others. If you add a charming and sentimental flair to your word choice, your friends and family will listen. In fact, they will agree with your finely crafted points and emotions too.
