WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 6/24-6/30/2020

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

We kick off the week with amazing news! Venus is turning direct on June 25th in Gemini. But, don’t get too excited. The Retroshade journey ends on July 29th, when Venus moves out of the degrees it traveled down during its cosmic moonwalk. Mars, who’s in Pisces, squaring off with the Nodes of Destiny on June 26th. This cosmic connection will force us to take immediate action around matters and situations. Mars enters Aries on June 27th, initiating dreams and projects that have been on the back burner for the past few months. The following day, Mars and Saturn, who’s retrograde in Aquarius, link up together, allowing us to use practicality in achieving our goals. The Sun and Mercury retrograde sync up in Cancer, making the 30th the best day of the month to gain clarity on matters. Uranus adds a twist to the information we hear on the 30th — be prepared to hear the unexpected version of the truth. Jupiter and Pluto, who are both retrograde in Capricorn, come together for the second time (the first connection was April 4th and the third time will be November 12th), will give us the chance to assert our personal visions in the world with no apologies. Meaning, it’s our time to take charge and move ahead with our dreams. 

Aries 

You may feel as though you’re not being seen for the amazing ram that you are. These issues stem from your inability to express your sentiments without losing your cool. Instead of jumping head first into an argument, choose your words wisely in a way that truly defines your feelings. 

Taurus 

Now is not the time to focus on what makes other people happy. It’s a moment that will force you to wake up and revel in your own bliss. Move towards the path that brings you pleasure, no matter what others say. Remember to put your needs first this time. 

Gemini 

You may feel as though no one is hearing what you’re saying, even though you are trying to be direct and screaming your heart out. Don’t cower and run away in the face of adversity, just try another approach to ensure your voice is heard and that your opinion counts. 

Cancer 

You’ve decided to skip out on the frustrations and annoyances that are coming your way before they arrive. You can see the drama happening before it’s actually happened, which will make you side crawl to the other side of the street in an effort to step away from such annoyances. 

Leo 

Shifts are happening in your friendships, due to the fact that you’re not being seen for your strengths and criticized for your weaknesses. Talk things out with your friends before resentments remain within. Make sure they understand that you’re doing the best you can which is better than doing nothing. 

Virgo 

No matter how far you get ahead in the game, you feel as though you’re always one step back to where you began. Before you get down on yourself, try to be proactive in how you can change the course in an effort to avoid such setbacks from happening again. 

Libra 

Now that you’ve gained clarity on all matters that have been weighing greatly on you, the question is what will you do with this infinite knowledge? Don’t remain in the same place or go backwards. Find the best course of action that works for you, in an effort to evolve. 

Scorpio 

Looks like someone is getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar this week. Instead of denying and gaslighting, own your part in an awkward situation to avoid drama and to create an honest discourse with others. Regaining and freely giving trust is hard, but doable if you try. 

Sagittarius 

A truth teller by nature, secrets can tear you up inside. You’ve made up your mind about your professional future, but don’t want to share the news until it’s come to fruition. Be open with your friends about your career goals, even if you don’t want to jinx the situation. 

Capricorn 

Now that you’ve had time to decide about the direction you want to move towards, you’re realizing that you aren’t  ready to make any moves. Before moving ahead with projects and relationships, use this week to reflect in an effort to see if this is the right decision for you. 

Aquarius 

Yes, your needs are important. But, not at the cost of others. You may not notice that you’ve become a little too self-serving recently, which is pushing away those who care about you. Try to find a balance that works in an effort to be less selfish and more generous. 

Pisces

Believing in yourself is the hardest thing to do. However, you can achieve certainty and confidence within yourself if you change your approach to matters. Once you transform your approach to situations and feel about them, then you’ll be able to evolve into the self-assured person you are deep inside. 

Manifesting With The Gemini New Moon

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

It’s been a long and intense few weeks. Now, we are at a pivotal point of the madness, where we can truly embrace ourselves and let our freak flags fly high. For the past few months, we have literally been locked in cages (understandably, due to the current state of the world). While it’s been fun catching up with old friends and making new acquaintances we are longing for human interaction. This luminary acts as a kind of divine intervention to us all. While we cannot “touch” others. We can certainly have fun with sex magic and connecting with others virtually. 

Mars and Saturn retrograde are the planetary key figures. They are urging us to make action around implementing our desires. The caveat is that we may have trouble finding the vision we wish to embrace, as the planetary ruler of the New Moon in Gemini is Mercury. During the day, Venus retrograde and Neptune will aspect the Moon creating confusion around our hopes and dreams. The good news is that this lineup will help us embrace our fantasy life which will serve to intoxicate our minds and act as a catalyst for emotional, mental, and sexual release. We can be who we want to be to ourselves and others without judgement. Our desires and passions will be ignited, calling for us to use sex magic to manifest our dreams. 

The Sabian symbol for this luminary is “The Garden Of The Tuileries In Paris.” This means that the New Moon will serve as our sexual spring awakening, as all of our flowers are now in bloom. 

The fixed star Alcyone aligns with the New Moon, heightening our sexual cravings and yearnings. 

*The New Moon occurs on May 22 at 10:38AM PST and 1:38PM EST.
