WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 1/13-1/19

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

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.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 1/6-12/2020

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

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.

Taurus 

Mindfulness is key this week. It’s instrumental towards growing and expanding your horizons. Being accountable and aware of your actions will help you find resolve on matters with others and yourself. You’ll be able to let go of the past and move towards the highest path possible. You got this!

Gemini 

You’re finally able to get out of the emotional standstill you have been in— which is a blessing. Before you run wild and free making future plans, give yourself a moment to reflect and make amends with others. This be a major step forward in creating the life you want.

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.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/30-1/5-2021

La Création d'Adam - Dorian Legret

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

WITCHTIPS

The first two days of this week highlight romantic visions and financial matters. Venus, who’s in Sagittarius, squares off with Neptune, who’s in Pisces, on December 30th. The following day, Venus aligns itself with the South Node of Destiny. Letting go of the past will be hard on the 30th and 31st. If we release old feelings and allow ourselves to embrace new sentiments with ease, then we can bring in more love. The same applies to our finances. Abundance is around the corner, as long as you clear out the clutter. Mercury, who’s in Capricorn, connects with Neptune on January 1st, creating confusion and cloudiness after we release all the negativity from 2020 and embrace a new year. Mercury and Pluto link up in Capricorn on January 4th, giving us the determination to win in 2021.

Happy New Year!

Aries 

Possibilities seem endless, as long as you don’t over-consume yourself with work projects. Take time out of your busy schedule to stop and smell the roses. Not putting pressure on yourself will open you up to new and exciting things. Find a personal balance that works best for you now.

Taurus 

As 2021 rolls in, it’s important for you to embrace a new mindset. This means aligning yourself with the highest version of yourself. It shouldn’t be hard, as you’ve been working on elevating your vibe for the past few months. Now, the moment has come to step up your game.

Gemini 

Discussing boundaries with others will help them gain an understanding into your emotions. The caveat is that you may not want to get as deep as they do or they may not want to have extremely intense conversations at the moment. Your weekly cosmic lesson is about not pushing limits.

Cancer

For the first time in a while, your intuition is on point and fully activated. You are gaining clarity on all of the matters that perplexed you throughout the year. This will allow you to move into 2021 with insight and knowledge that will help you move forward with ease.

Leo 

It’s time you started taking more risks. By that, we mean that you should invest your time in energy in ventures that are outside of your comfort zone that you’re passionate about. This will help you feel lighter and freer, as you make strides from disentangling yourself from the past.

Virgo 

Your inner world is evolving at rapid speed, making you understand yourself and the world around you better. Before you commit to one view or peril of wisdom, embrace all of the insights and downloads that are coming your way. Open your mind this week, but with a discerning eye.

Libra 

All the changes that are happening around you are making you very confused and unsure about your own footing. Before you become anxious over situations that you cannot control, pour your energy back into yourself through personal passion projects. Then, you will feel whole again and certain about the future.

Scorpio 

Never underestimate your third eye. It will allow you to detract negativity and bring in positivity. Also, you’ll know who and what you should trust. Others may think that you’re being overly cynical or distrustful. But, you are really just accepting your heightened awareness as reality and awakening your intuition.  

Sagittarius 

You are looking to gain spiritual knowledge, but it seems hard to find and grasp. You don’t have to search for inspiration, it is inside of you already. Mediate to align and attune yourself with the rhythms of the universe to find your spiritual, creative, and inspirational core this week.

Capricorn 

The truth is ever confusing and hard to find, even though you are searching for it. Before you start digging and searching for answers, be careful that you could be upset or unsettled with the information you find out. Sometimes ignorance is bliss (and this is one of those times).

Aquarius 

Be forewarned to not extend your wallet or energy to an acquaintance in need unless they are 100% upfront with their situation. By week’s end you may come to find that they haven’t been completely honest with you, making you regret your decision to help them out of a jam.

Pisces 

It’s a wonderful week to reach out to old friends with whom you want to connect with. The only caveat is that jealousies may arise between you all, boosting insecurIties (or vice versa). Remember that the grass is always greener on the other side. And, your life is totally fabulous.

2021 Tarot ‘Scope Predictions

Written by Bri Luna

2020 has been a roller coaster of a year. Fortunately, we all have survived it — one way or another. While 2021 isn’t as wild as the past year, it will have its hard moments. The good news is that it won’t be as intense as this year. To gain insight on what 2021 will bring, read your tarot ‘scope below. 

*For a more detailed ‘scope and wheel of the year, book your 2021 tarot reading with me. I am now offering limited readings!

Aries 

The Star Reversed, The Tower, and the Moon Reversed 

This is a very transformative year for you, Aries. The only foreseeable issue is that if you don’t make moves to get out of a situation that causes you frustration, then you will be forced to evolve in order to find the highest version of yourself. Change is essential now.

Taurus 

5 of Wands, 2 of Pentacles, 8 of Cups

Chances are, you’ve been internalizing frustrations with others that you don’t even know why you’re  upset with them. Try to put the daggers away and open yourself up to having a loving conversation. Speak up and let your feelings be known. Doing this will steer you in the right direction.

Gemini 

6 of Swords, The Lovers Reversed, and the Devil

Stop dragging your feet over spilt milk and let go of the past. Once you separate yourself from the constraints that  hold you back emotionally, you’ll be able to move towards the future and live your best life. Don’t stay in a toxic situation that isn’t working for you, Gemini.

Cancer 

6 of Pentacles, 8 of Pentacles Reversed, The Fool

Don’t be too generous with your bounty this year. Although you want to be of service to others in their times of need, you have to save your pennies for yourself. You’ve worked hard for your money and you should be the one who’s enjoying the fruits of your labors. 

Leo 

Ace of Wands Reversed, 8 of Pentacles, The Hierophant 

Making sound financial investments isn’t something you may want to take on in 2021, but it will help you out in the long run. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice from a family member, friend, or trusted advisor. They will offer you great guidance to induce abundance and prosperity.

Virgo 

6 of Wands Reversed, The Star, King of Pentacles 

Yes, you can have your cake and eat it too, Virgo. But, only if you don’t resort to unscrupulous tactics to get your way. And, don’t take shortcuts to attaining success. Honesty is always the best policy, as it will help you manifest your goals and prosperity quicker than expected.

Libra 

4 of Swords, 9 of Pentacles, Ace of Cups

Don’t rush the creative process. The moment you stop frustrating yourself over what you can and should do, you will be able to create art that speaks to others on a deep level. If you are feeling it, then allow the art to pour out of you in the moment.

Scorpio 

Knight of Wands, The Hierophant, Wheel of Fortune 

The world is your oyster! You are on the path towards attaining your ultimate dreams. Just be careful before you begin to feel yourself too hard, Scorpio. Don’t let your successes go to your head. Every upswing in life can be followed by a low. Remember to always remain humble.

Sagittarius

3 of Coins Reversed, Queen of Swords, Knight of Swords  

You have the ability to get to the heart of the matter, Sagittarius. The issue is that you may have to ruffle a few feathers when directly confronting others, which they most definitely will not like. If you can, try to lead with kindness before going straight for the jugular.

Capricorn 

Knight of Pentacles, 5 of Wands Reversed, The Emperor 

It’s time for you to set some major boundaries! Don’t be afraid to create limits with others who have imposed their unsolicited opinions into your life. Think about whether or not it’s worth proceeding with the relationship in the New Year. Then, decide if you want to cut them loose.

Aquarius 

Nine of Wands, The Lovers, 7 of Pentacles

You are quite relationship focused this year, but don’t want to put the effort in that is required of you to make any of your partnerships work. Nothing comes easy — especially love and friendships. Show them that you truly care by giving them love and doing the work needed.

Pisces 

The Devil, The Lovers, The Hermit 

Being tempted by the fruit of another will create issues within your current relationship, friendships, and family. Thinking about your feelings before you act upon them will allow you to decide whether or not the flirtation is worth the drama. The same reasoning applies in all areas of your life.

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.

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

WITCH TIPS

The year is almost over and we still have a ton of cosmic drama left to get through. Mars, who’s in Aries, and Pluto, who’s in Capricorn, square off on December 23rd. Tensions will reach a boiling point, causing emotions to erupt. Mercury, who’s in Capricorn, and Uranus, who’s retrograde in Taurus, connect giving us the opportunity to understand our feelings from a different perspective on the 25th. Two days later, the Sun chimes and gives us the chance to rebel against the constraints that have held us back. The Cold Full Moon in Cancer occurs on December 29th, giving us all a big release of everything that we’ve been holding in. 

Aries 

In order to keep the spark fresh, it’s important to put the work into relationships. This doesn’t mean that you have to send love notes every day to your partner, but you should try to make them feel as though they are important to you— especially if outside forces interfere.

Taurus 

While you may be drawn to over extend yourself this week, consider using your hardworking effervescence to create stability with both the private and public areas of your life. Harmonizing these energies together will create stability and inner peace. Then, you can have a few moments of calm for yourself.

Gemini 

Stepping up your understanding of money matters will help you make more lucrative and better investments in the future. Looking deep into your money situation is key in planting the seeds for your financial wellbeing, as well as getting clarity on the importance of embracing your spirituality and the immaterial.

Cancer 

Your fuse is short this week. There is an emotional storm brewing within, making all of your inner sentiments reach a heightened state. Before you get into a power struggle or argument with those in your inner circle, take a moment to calm down. Be gentle with yourself and others.

Leo 

Don’t get too caught up in your rapturous feels that you forget about all the mundane responsibilities you have in your life. Take stock about what is important to you at the moment and lean into that sentiment with caution. Split up your time and energy to get everything done.

Virgo 

As the year comes to an end, it’s important to reflect and take note of everything that you’ve achieved in the past year. This will help you gain insight into where you’re going in the upcoming year. Then, you will know exactly what you need to manifest and bring in.

Libra 

All of the world is watching what you do (or at least it feels that way). Before jumping into anything, make sure that you dip your toes in the water first. This will make it seem less fearful and scary when you feel as though others are judging your actions.

Scorpio 

Taking the high road is hard to do at times, especially when you know that you’re right in your sentiments. Before asserting and expressing yourself without care, consider taking a step back and cooling off. Then, you can find the right words to let people know how you accurately feel.

Sagittarius 

Change is hard, but necessary. As long as you are honest with yourself, then you can soar. But, if you choose to ignore what you should do then you won’t make any progress and remain stuck. Transform at your own pace. Don’t rush yourself. Take your time. Ebb and flow.

Capricorn 

Entering into a new relationship or mending issues with others can bring up concerns that exist within. You will have to take a leap of faith at the moment and trust that the partnership is worth the effort. Be in the moment and move forward in the relationship with ease.

Aquarius 

Taking care of day-to-day tasks will be hard to do, as you’re in the mood to chill and enjoy the seasonal festivities— not work yourself to the bone. It’s ok to hit the snooze button a few times, sleep in, and do errands leisurely. It’s the best form of self-care.

Pisces 

A creative project is now coming to a close, allowing you to put your energy in new endeavors. Before you take on another artistic venture, take some time to yourself and relax. Don’t bite off more than you can chew and get rest. Then, go full force forward in work.

The Great Conjunction 2020

 December 21st is a momentous day in 2020. The Sun moves into Capricorn, the First Quarter Moon occurs in Aries (which ends eclipse season), the Great Conjunction occurs, and the Winter Solstice shifts seasons. Change is in the air now. The question is, “Are we ready?”

The seasonal shift occurs when the Sun enters Capricorn. This means that we’ll be pushed to be more reflective during the Yuletide. The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, which means that the veil between the physical and spiritual world is thin. Anxieties and emotions will be high, if the energy surrounding us is not protected. The flip side is that we can receive psychic downloads from the universe and gain clarity on matters that have been confusing.  

The Great Conjunctin occurs every 20 years. The previous alignment was in Taurus in 2000. The last time the Great Conjunction occurred in Aquarius was on January 7th, 1405. This astrological transit occurs when Jupiter and Saturn connect in the cosmos. Not only will they be aspecting each other, but they will be the closest they’ve been in hundreds of years.

Most of the time when Jupiter and Saturn connect, their energies cancel each other out. Think of this as a positive energy (Jupiter) and a negative energy (Saturn) coming together. What happens here is that they cancel each other out. But, just because their energies won’t perform to their potency, doesn’t mean that this won’t be an intense cosmic connection. 

The one thing to consider is that Saturn is the stronger planet of the two in this conjunction. Because Saturn is in its dignity, Aquarius, the energy may be more inclined towards the realignment of the old ways of thinking. It’s a changing of the guards. Out with the old, in with the new. Progress is here. Humanitarianism will now bring the world together. Technology will help us prevail in the next 20 years. We can and will overcome any obstacle that stands in our way if we fight the patriarchy and societal constraints together. We can implement transformation if we tear the walls down and build better ones in its place. 

Think of all these transits occurring on December 21st as a shedding of the past, so to speak. We are moving into the next phase of our lives and letting go of outdated views. Move towards newness. Refresh. Restart. Begin again. Onwards and forwards...

The Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The only total solar eclipse of 2020 is occurring on December 14th in Sagittarius. This luminary serves as a big emotional release. It will bring up a lot of sentiments that are buried beneath the surface and give us the chance to heal the past — if we are ready to. 

The solar eclipse aspects Mercury, Mars, Neptune, and the South Node of Destiny, which means we will meet the karmic energy with ambivalence and uncertainty. While we will want to take action around expressing our feelings, there will be an uncertainty around how we can let others know exactly how we feel. 

This plenary line up will even bring past life fears into play (especially with the eclipse’s alignment with the South Node of Destiny), making us feel too lost in our feelings to know which road to choose in present times. It is a wonderful time to release old ways of thinking and quit a bad habit. Letting go is always hard. If we have faith and believe in ourselves it can be done during this luminary. 

Mercury and Neptune’s presence will create  miscommunications, exhaustion, and strong intuition within us all. Do not believe all that you hear, there is a lot of information missing from the story.  If you feel as though something is amiss in others, you may be right. The caveat is that it may be hard to pin down exactly what people are hiding. Again, don’t jump to conclusions and create drama. The truth will come out in time. Be patient. The flip side to this energy, is that we may be lying to ourselves, but may not know it yet. The greatest form of deception are the lies we force ourselves to believe, even if it goes against our intuition. 

This luminary falls between the fixed stars Rasalhague and Lesath. Rasalhague can heighten emotions, while Lesath adds a fogginess to our thoughts. Both stars will push us to act swiftly and think later. But, we really shouldn’t move in any direction until we have all of the details. Not knowing the full story can backfire, crafting bigger issues to form. 

The Sabian Symbol for the solar eclipse is “A Bluebird Perched On The Gate Of A Cottage.” This gives light to the notion embracing one’s spirituality, which may be hard to hone into at this time. In order to be happy, it’s essential for us to be generous with others. Embrace the higher vibration of Sagittarius and Neptune. Using our hearts to radiate unconditional love (even to those who have wronged us) will allow us all to connect and get along. It’s important to note that we don’t have to keep people in our lives who haven’t been kind and have proven to be toxic to our wellbeing. But, we may be inclined to forgive (not forget) their actions (which is dependent upon if they are forgivable actions). Healing is key. 

This luminary is intense. It will bring up a lot of emotions within. Please be gentle, kind, and compassionate with yourselves. And, others as well. The energy is contagious. Treat others how you wish to be treated, so they can use the same vibe in their dealings with people in their orbs.

*The solar eclipse occurs on December 14th at 8:16AM PDT and 11:16AM EDT.

Solar Eclipse Ritual

Light a white candle. Sit in a quiet room and close your eyes. Let yourself relax and unwind. Allow yourself to connect to the rhythms of the universe. Focus on healing your mind, heart, past, and present state of mind. Then, you can tap into what you want to release. Once you find what needs to go in your life, write it down on a piece of paper. Carefully burn it or rip it up. Throw the ashes out. Release it into the world and don’t look back. 

The Frost Lunar Eclipse in Gemini

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

The lunar eclipse in Gemini occurs on November 30th is pushing us all to think with our hearts, rather than act out our emotions (which will prove to be hard). Passions will be ignited, but they will be easily tempered as long as we use our intellect to rationalize around matters.

The planetary ruler of the Moon, Mercury, is in Scorpio, and is moving past a soft connection with the Sagittarius Sun, who’s planetary ruler is in Capricorn. Passions are heightened, as we are on a quest to expand our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Being that Mercury is in the late degrees of Scorpio, which is a mute and highly intuitive sign, we will have to rely on our gut feelings and accept them as truths. No more second guessing our intuition. The following day, Mercury moves into Sagittarius, urging us to vocalize our emotions. 

Healing centaur Chiron, who’s in Aries, aligns with the eclipse degrees. This will give us the chance to make amends with others or even forgive ourselves for our involvement in matters that could’ve hurt those we care about. Perhaps we will be able to give people answers and clarity to situations from the past and move forward in a new direction with them. 

The Sabian Symbol associated with this eclipse is “A Quiver Filled With Arrows.” This means that we will be armed with words that can hurt (which relates to the Gemini-Sagittarius vibe). Think before speaking. Words can hurt. Be careful about what tricks others have up their sleeves, as the Mercurial vibe can lead to confusion. When confronted with issues, take a step back and think about how to proceed. Don’t act impulsively. By doing this, we’ll be able to avoid dramas from happening in our personal lives and relationships.

The fixed star Ain aligns with the Gemini Moon, adding to the directness and over the top emotional energy. Ain will also help to bring matters to light. Deceptions and truths will be revealed, making us rethink matters and relationships. Being that this eclipse is on the Gemini-Sagittarius nodal axis, we can expect to hear information about ourselves or others that will expose scandals and situations. Keep in mind that some of the news we hear may not be real or a version of the truth. Before reacting, think about how to move forward. The caveat with this energy is that we will be inclined to ignore the red flags because we are in denial of reality or the facts of the matter. 

Another element of the eclipse is the need we’ll all have to do things twice. With the Gemini energy comes the desire to give matters and relationships a second chance (because Gemini is a dualistic sign that does things two times). It’s totally fine to forgive, forget, and move on — but, only if you’re ready to. Try to be more gentle and less critical of yourself (as well as others) during this eclipse. Then, everyone can heal in their own ways.

*The lunar eclipse occurs on November 30th at 1:29AM PDT and 4:29AM EDT.

Cleansing Ritual for the Lunar Eclipse:

Set intention by noting what you want to cleanse in your life or space.

Blend lemon oil, rinds, or lemon verbena (the essence of Gemini) along with fresh lavender or oil and peppermint sprigs or oil in a bowl. 

Place the bowl in the middle of the room. 

The herbs, flowers, and essences will organically purify the space and detox your mind.
