WITCH TIPS

PSA: The week ahead will be intense. But, if we move towards personal growth, we can learn to go with the flow and move with ease through the astrological aspects. 

Mars, who’s in Taurus, squares off with Saturn, who’s in Aquarius on January 13th. This will be an argument or stress surrounding authority and limitations imposed on us. Venus, who’s in Capricorn, and Uranus, who’s retrograde in Taurus, softly connect on the 13th. They will round out the resentments and negativity that’s felt earlier in the day. The Sun and Pluto unite in Capricorn on the 14th, bringing up power struggles from the New Moon on the 12th/13th of January. Uranus turns direct on the 14th, ending the retrograde journey that began on August 15th. Our eyes are opening and we are seeing situations and people for who they really are — which will shock us. Jupiter, who’s in Aquarius, and Uranus share a fraught aspect on the 17th. Surprises are in the air, as well as shakeups, breakups, and meltdowns. Use the energy positively by implementing change and innovation into your life. The Sun enters Aquarius on the 19th, pushing us to embrace global transformation and to do our best to inspire change in the world. 

Aries 

You are focusing on how you can be the best version of yourself, without giving any mind or attention to what people think. Do not let anyone get in the way of your personal growth. It’s the journey that you are embarking on by yourself, for yourself. It’s your time.

Taurus 

Embracing your higher self will be essential, even though it’s challenging at times. However, once you find your spiritual core, you will be able to blossom and grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be. Now is your time to spread your wings and fly. The world is waiting!

Gemini 

Although you like to discuss your feelings, you’re not very vocal about your frustrations. Finding a way to discuss matters in a gentle way with others will not only relieve tensions within, but it’ll help mend relationships that have been rocky. In the end, you’ll be able to personally transform.

Cancer 

You’re living on both sides of the spectrum this week. On one hand, you’re craving intimacy. And, on the other hand, you’re yearning for freedom. Find a space in between that works. Have a few deep conversations and then put a pin in the communication while you process the information.

Leo 

You’re trying to hold onto the past, instead of moving towards your destiny. Rather than holding onto old ideas about what you wanted to achieve and add to your life, embrace a brand new vision based on the present day information. Dining this will help you understand your fate better.

Virgo 

It will be hard to relax and concentrate this week, unless you implement structure into your day-to-day vibe. This means sticking to a set schedule. Then, you will be able to take on issues that pop into your life with ease and the ability to move freely through such matters.

Libra 

Changes are now happening within you. You’re evolving and becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be. This means that you are flexing your inner strength and heart muscles for everyone to see. You’ll even inspire those close to you to take steps in creating the personal world they want.

Scorpio 

Anxieties are brewing within, due to external and internal pressures. Remember that you have nothing to prove to anyone, including yourself. You can achieve anything you put your mind to. And, you will in time. Not rushing your process will alleviate stress. After all, Rome wasn’t built in one day.

Sagittarius 

Your confidence may be high and low throughout the week. Grounding and centering your energies will allow you to find peace within. It’ll also help you realize that you are an amazing person. Don’t listen to the negativity in your head, it’s just your fears talking. Their words aren’t real.

Capricorn 

Life has felt like a roller coaster lately. And, this week doesn’t ease up. But, you are beginning to take pride in yourself and all of the effort you put into transforming. Growth is happening and you’re feeling stronger. You’re now standing taller and prouder than you ever have before.

Aquarius 

There seems to be a lot of confusion in the energy that you want to bring into your life. Before you make impulse decisions, mediate and try to hone into your subconscious desires. By week’s end, you will come to find that you don’t need anything except self-love and acceptance.

Pisces 

Power struggles are brewing in your friend group. You’re not feeling as though your peers appreciate you. Chances are, they feel the same way about you. Have an open conversation with no drama and arguing to mend fences. Doing so will create a deeper connection and bond between you all.

WITCH TIPS

The Last Quarter Moon on January 6th is a great time to set your intentions for the New Year. You can start to release old resentments and bring new energy into your life during this luminary through sex magic. This will allow you to harness your power, magical gifts, and set the tone for 2021. Mars enters Taurus on the 6th, pushing us to attain our goals through dedicating ourselves to tasks. Mercury enters Aquarius on the 8th, allowing us to gain a different perspective on matters. Venus enters Capricorn a few hours after on the 8th, giving us the drive to work hard towards attaining money and love. The same day, the Capricorn Sun gets a tender push from Neptune, who’s in Pisces, to embrace our dreams. Later in the day, Mercury and Mars square off on the 8th, creating conflicts and arguments. Venus and Mars add sensual vibes to our lives on the 9th, followed by a restrictive energy from Mercury and Saturn’s restrictive connection in Aquarius. January 11th opens up the energy when Mercury and Jupiter link up in Aquarius. This will make us feel freer and able to take on matters in an easier way. Mercury and Uranus, who’s retrograde in Taurus, square off on the 12th, urging us to evolve by finding better and more effective ways to communicate with others. 

Aries 

Romance is on your mind, making you want to open your heart up more to your one and only. This may create issues, as they are not necessarily wanting to get as attached as you do. Move slowly towards love. Take your time and the relationship will blossom into more.

Cancer

There are many changes headed your way, most of which you are not ready for. Never one to embrace fast and swift transformation, you may want to rest this week and focus on finding your personal footing before taking on this world and other problems. Move at your own pace.

Leo 

Fiery by nature, you crave passion and live through your desires. The downside to this is that you often lead with your heart first and foremost. Try to temper your emotions before moving forward in any direction to ensure that you are making more logical decisions rather than emotional ones.

Virgo 

Finding a daily activity that you can commit to is more challenging than ever. If you give yourself a moment to regroup, you will be able to reboot and be present within your body. This will allow you to focus better on tasks you want to do everyday and accomplish them.

Libra 

Money is on your mind more than usual, forcing you to reassess your budget and spending. Remember the main rule and law of attraction in attaining abundance, the less you think about money the more comes your way. Ease your worries to manifest more money and increase your bank account.

Scorpio 

Your foundation is transforming, which means it’s an exciting time for you. Being the most evolutionary sign of the zodiac, you will be able to make sweeping changes that can elevate your vibe. By week’s end, you’ll be on your way to living the best and most brilliant life possible.

Sagittarius 

Pay attention to what you see and hear this week. It’ll be useful later. There is a lot of information percolating behind the scenes that is coming to a head. Once you are aware of what is happening, then you can plan how to proceed and remember for the future.

Capricorn 

At times you can feel uncomfortable in your own skin (we all can). But, what’s happening now is that you are  becoming more at peace within yourself and confident. Shedding the past and emotions will help you grow. This will allow  you to be assured and able to move forward.

Aquarius 

Life seems like it’s crazier and busier than ever this week. While you may not have a moment to yourself, you’re finding that your creativity is on fire. The silver lining is that your artistry and talents are shining through. And, the world is excited to see what you create.

Pisces 

You’re finally speaking your mind and not holding back your feelings from others. This is wonderful because now you can express your hidden sentiments and desires without feeling as though others are judging you. Let your feeling out. Say what needs to be said. You’ll feel better once you do.

The Cold Moon in Cancer

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

December 29th brings the last Full Moon of 2020 in the sign of tender Cancer. This luminary will bring a big emotional ending to 2020, by clearing up and releasing matters that haven’t been addressed throughout the year. The Cancer Full Moon is an important time for releasing and letting go of all of the negativity from 2020 (which as we all know is much needed) as we enter 2021. 

Being that this Full Moon will occur in Cancer, we can expect repressed feelings to come to the surface which will push the floodgates open. Add in “Great Awakener” Uranus and healing centaur Chiron (“the wounded healer, who ironically could not heal himself”). 

We will be forced to see things that we hadn’t before (all of which we didn’t see coming). This eye opening Full Moon will urge us to reflect about what we are giving to others versus what they’re giving to us. There will be a lot of tears. Keep in mind that crying is actually good for the body and soul. It releases pent up anxieties and frustrations, as well as endorphins and oxytocin (feel good chemicals in our bodies). Therefore, it’s important to unlock your feelings and let all of your emotions flow out. 

The Full Moon will push us outside of our comfort zones. It’s important to take care of oneself during this luminary. A soothing and healing bath will help us feel better about our situations and relationships. Also, give us more self-love — which is what we need right now. 

*The Cold Full Moon occurs on December 29th at 7:28PM PDT and 10:28PM EDT. 

Full Moon Ritual: 

Ingredients:

½-1 Cup of Dried or Fresh Rose Petals

½-1 Cup of Lemon Verbena or Lemon Peel 

½-1 Cup of Epsom Salt 

¼ Cup of Milk 

3 Cups of Water 

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Bring water to a boil in a pot. Let the water cool and then drain all the ingredients out. Dispose of them. Add the milk in the cool water. Use the water in a bath or pour over your body from the shoulders down in a shower.
