WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The week ahead brings many changes that will prove fruitful in 2022. We are planting the seeds for what’s to come in the next year. Mercury and Venus's retrograde connect in the sign Capricorn on December 29, sweetening the day with kindness and gentleness. Also, Mercury enters its pre-retrograde phase on December 29, setting the stage for the planetary backspin that commences on January 14, 2022. The same day, Mars in Sagittarius and Saturn in Aquarius gives us the strength to power through any obstacles that come our way. Mercury and Pluto align in Capricorn on December 30, adding passion and zest to our words. Be careful in what you say on the 30th to avoid arguments. The Capricorn Sun and Uranus retrograde in Taurus harmonize on January 1, allowing us to start the new year off on our terms. Mercury glides into Aquarius on January 2 and opens our eyes to new possibilities, while giving us clarity and fresh perspectives on matters. The following day, Mercury connects with the Nodes of Destiny, bringing us fated news, alliances, and information. The New Moon in Capricorn occurs on January 2. This lunation will help us in manifesting our 2022 goals and visions. Therefore, it’s important to focus on what needs to grow and blossom in the new year. Jupiter in Pisces squares the Nodes of Destiny on January 3, offering us two different paths to take that will change our lives forever. Choose wisely! 

Witch Tip:

What do you want to bring into your life in 2022? Think about what energy and vibration you were wanting to add to your Orb. Write down your letter of intent to the Universe and meditate on your dreams. This will help you attain your goals and desires during the New Moon on January 2. If you think about your dreams throughout the week, you will be able to manifest fully on January 2. Now, is the time to assess and connect with what your heart wants to bring in.

Aries 

Taking total ownership for your actions and being accountable can be challenging, especially when you think you’re correct — even if you aren’t. Allow yourself to be placed on the same standard you hold others to in an effort to resolve the dichotomy and sanctimonious hypocritical sentiments that exist within. 

Taurus 

Journaling is an excellent way to manifest your goals for 2022. Not only will you be able to put these plans into action, but you’ll be able to connect with what your heart feels and wants. When you see your hopes on paper, you will start working towards attaining them. 

Gemini 

This week you are learning that kindness, patience, and flexibility are needed in becoming a good and noble leader. Knowing that you can be generous, efficient, and caring while steering the helm will help you create the powerful vibe that you want to have in your personal and professional life. 

Cancer 

It’s time to redefine and grow relationships in order for them to reach their fullest potential. Understanding what it takes to harvest a loving and kind partnership that has the potential to last long-term won’t be hard, as long as you pay attention to your feelings and acknowledge your sentiments.

Leo 

Although it’s easy to give your power to others, it’s important to note that you are the one who holds all of the cards in your intimate partnerships. Don’t allow others to control you or tell you how to think. You are your own person, with individualistic ideas and notions. 

Virgo 

In an effort to avoid saying things impulsively, write your thoughts down before expressing them. This will help you gain clarity in what you want to state, as well as allow you to avoid putting your foot in your mouth and making regrettable comments that others will not easily forgive. 

Libra 

Home is where your heart is, which is why you should spend more time in your dwelling this week. Think of this as a much-needed restorative break from your stressful daily routine. Take a break from the outside world and spend a few days cuddled up in bed resting. 

Scorpio 

The need to control matters and situations will be strong, as you are trying to mend problems and fix relationships that need adjustments. Keep in mind that you can’t be the glue that holds issues together all the time. It’s a group effort and requires mutual care to actually work.

Sagittarius 

Take a break from the mundane world and indulge in earthly pleasures. This doesn’t mean celebrating the incoming new year all day, rather it urges you to shift the focus of your energies and give you the space to create something tangible that can change your life for the better.

Capricorn 

Before you twist conversations and the intent of situations, make sure that you’re hearing the other person clearly. Although you want to make everything all about you, the likelihood of this is slim. Allow yourself to see the bigger picture and offer compassion to those in need while maintaining boundaries. 

Aquarius 

As the new year commences, you’re soul-searching for the best ways to elevate your heart and mind. Also, to be the best version of yourself. The caveat is that you are not inwards to understand your needs and mend past issues. This means righting wrongs and owning up to mistakes.

Pisces 

Turn your restlessness into opportunities. Instead of having sleepless nights and extra energy in the day, focus on how you can make your innermost visions a reality. Don't just spend time plotting, thinking, and dreaming. Spend this week gaining insight in integrating these aspirations to be part of your hustle.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/15-21/2021

Mars connects with the South Node in Sagittarius on December 15, making us all tired and emotional. The Full Moon in Gemini occurs on December 18, giving us a spiritual awakening. The Sagittarius Sun and Jupiter, who’s in Aquarius, harmonize on December 19 and add optimism to the day. Venus retrograde in Capricorn commences the same day, asking us to refine our spending and relationships. Mercury in Capricorn aligns with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on December 20, opening our eyes to interesting news, insights, gossip, and information. The Winter Solstice and the Sun’s entrance into Capricorn commence on December 21, starting Yuletide celebrations which will give us a few moments of inner reflection. 

Witchtip

Mars and the South Node of Destiny’s cosmic alliance on December 15 will leave us all feeling as though we can’t move forward in any direction. Light a yellow candle (because Wednesday is Mercury’s day) to get the energy flowing and moving on the 15th. Carve your name and birthdate on it. Then, write a letter of intention stating what can use some movement in your life. Place the paper under a bowl of water, in which you can put the candle. Meditate on your desires, then light the candle. Hopefully, the energy won’t feel still or stuck anymore, once the candle starts to burn. 

Aries 

Your inner desires are coming out, making you lust after a previously held vision. Allow yourself to let go of the illusion that you have created for yourself over the past several years and embrace your truest passions (which you may have forgotten about or put on the back burner).

Taurus 

Your mind is going 1,000,000 miles a second, which is why it is important for you to decompress and relax throughout the week. This means that you shouldn’t let any energy that is detrimental to your own mental or emotional health enter your zone. Protect your energy with extra caution.

Gemini 

Your intuition is on fire this week, which is juxtaposing your logical mind. Find a balance between reason and the emotional side of things to help you understand what the universe is trying to tell you and what news is unfolding around you. Listen to the voice within for guidance.

Cancer 

There is a lot of confusion to where your relationships are currently headed. The more energy and stress you get to the situation, the more ambiguity will mount on your mind and weigh on your heart. Instead of obsessing, guessing, and contemplating about the situation, reach out and discuss matters.

Leo 

Simply put: You are beyond tired and exhausted. Before you push yourself to the max and beyond your limit, contemplate if the eventual physical and mental burnout is worth it. Therefore, it’s best to ask for help when you need it and to not take on too much right now.

Virgo 

Romance in the air this week. The caveat is that you may want to slow down the sentiment and vibe, with the intention of focusing on yourself. Although this will disappoint the person who’s pursuing you, it’s important for you to feel good about yourself before aligning with someone else.

Libra 

It’s been a long  time since you’ve felt adventurous, but this week is urging you to get out of your comfort zone and shake up your daily routine. This means trying a new restaurant, taking a class, or going on a day trip out of town to see the world.

Scorpio 

This week calls for you to take your power back. Although you never officially gave it away, you’ve been placing your fate and destiny in the hands of others. Now is the ideal time to take charge and be the one who is controlling every aspect of your own life.

Sagittarius 

Relationships may seem to be more complex than ever, making you second guess your footing with your peers and acquaintances. Instead of running away from problems, which you normally do, try to work them out. Resolving matters will strengthen bonds and squash residual tense vibes that are percolating around you.

Capricorn 

This is a week in which self-care is extremely important. Rather than taking on the weight of the world (a sentiment that you usually do), take a step back and let your spirit heal. The more energy you give back to yourself and rest your body, the better you’ll feel.

Aquarius 

It’s been a long time since you have allowed yourself to be free, at peace, and to see where the week takes you. Give yourself a moment to turn off your phone and disconnect from others. Smell the roses, take a long lunch break, and indulge in your favorite activities. 

Pisces 

If a situation has proven to be toxic or unhealthy for you, it’s time to let go and cut the cord. Staying in a situation that doesn’t make you happy will prove to be nothing but stress — which is why it’s best to simply move on and release it.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/1-12-7/2021

Neptune ends its retrograde journey that began on December 1 in Pisces. The veil that’s been covering our eyes will fall, allowing us to see things for what they truly are. The caveat is that Neptune is  elusive, especially in Pisces, which means that we are gaining a deeper insight into matters, but not experiencing the real deal. The total solar eclipse in Sagittarius on December 3 PT and December 4 ET is forcing us to take swift action, when we should be slowing down. Our minds will run a million miles a second, which is why it’s important to use the energy productively and not reactionary. Mars in Scorpio connects with Pluto in Capricorn on December 6, bringing power struggles to the forefront of relationships. Mercury in Sagittarius squares off with Neptune in Pisces on December 7, intensifying anxieties and paranoias. 

Witchtip: The energy this week is making us think that we have to take matters into her own hands and act on a whim. The best way to handle the fiery vibe is to be at peace in your personal world. This means disengaging in drama and pausing on responding to situations that are out of your control. Meditation and breathing exercises will help you center yourself amidst external forces. The greatest gift of all is being in a chill and rational headspace when everyone is running wild. 

Aries 

Taking the highroad in life isn’t easy for you to do at times, especially when you feel that you’re justified. However, he will come to see that it’s important to be compassionate and empathetic when it comes to dealing with situations, rather than acting out impulsively and creating more problems. 

Taurus 

This is a week in which you’ll step into your power and take charge of your own destiny. As long as you know what you want and are clear on bringing in the proper intentions, then you can use the potent cosmic energy to attain your goals and achieve success. 

Gemini 

Rather than lashing out on others, try to find the right words to express your feelings and to take accountability for your actions. It doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong, all that is important is how you choose to deal with issues when they come to the forefront of relationships.

Cancer 

Power struggles in relationships are hitting a high, urging you to take a step back from the drama. You don’t have to prove your point in an argument. Sometimes it’s best to not have the last word. Use your silence to calmly deal with the challenges and uncertainties at hand.

Leo 

Creativity is bursting at the seams, allowing you to find ways to blend your artistry and intuition together into one big project. As long as you are accessing both your third eye and heart chakras, then you’ll be able to bring your visions to light without a hitch this week.

Virgo 

Anxieties will hit an extreme high over the weekend, which is why it’s best to be mindful of the energy that you’re taking in and letting out. Try to find a calm center that allows you to breathe and feel free rather than tense. Rest your mind and your thoughts.

Libra 

Before you say things that you’ll regret, play it over in your head. Don’t state your emotions in an impulsive manner, as you will express sentiments that are felt in the heat of the moment and not in your heart. Lead with love and mindfulness, rather than intense passionate emotions.

Scorpio 

The romance factor in your life is high, which will let you create the relationships that you want. You’re in control of the dynamic you want to put out there — no one else is. Think about what you truly desire, give it light, and watch it come to fruition.

Sagittarius 

This week you’re not confronting those who’ve upset you, instead turning a blind eye. The issue is that pent up frustrations and animosity can lead to emotional meltdowns. Find a healthy outlet to let go of the resentments that are building within and part ways with the anger you’re feeling. 

Capricorn 

Having healthy boundaries is important, especially when it comes to how you’re being treated. You don’t have to take on the emotional weight that your friends are throwing onto your shoulders now. You are only responsible for your happiness alone — not theirs. They can handle their issues without you.

Aquarius 

Your goals are shifting, urging you to reevaluate the path that you’ve been on. It’s ok to change your visions and ideas. You don’t have to commit to one dream — after all, you are a multitude of many and have a lot of charisma that’s yearning to be seen.

Pisces 

You’re not one to boast about your accomplishments, but this week you are feeling yourself and want the world to know. Don’t shy away from expressing your positive vibes and amazing successes. You worked hard for it, which is why you should own it, love it, and show it off.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 11/17-11/21

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

Witch Tip: 

Rather than ruminating and overloading matters in your head, rely on your gut to help problem solve. Place an amethyst crystal on your crown chakra and meditate. Your intuition will guide you to resolve these inner conflicts. 

Mars in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus on November 17, making our emotions explosive and declarative. The lunar eclipse in Taurus occurs on November 19, heightening our emotions and intuition. Venus in Capricorn connects with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on November 19, making romantic and financial matters unpredictable. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21 adding adventure to our lives and aligns with the South Node of Destiny on November 23 which will make us unsure of how to move towards freedom.  Mercury in Scorpio aspects Neptune retrograde in Pisces on November 18, Jupiter in Aquarius on November 20, and Pluto in Capricorn on November 21. All the Mercurial action will create anxiety, until the 21st when we get to the core of our stresses and gain clarity.

Aries

You can go along the path of your independent nature or you can embrace a collaboration to this week. This can be a difficult position to be in, so take your time before making any decisions. If you choose to work with others, you can reach great heights beyond your dreams.

Taurus 

You may feel like you’re being challenged while your life being critiqued by others this week. Take some time to go within. When you’re in a centered and calm state you’ll be able to come up with the best solutions for your life — regardless of what everyone has to say.

Gemini 

You are great at talking out matters, but not at following through with implementing the change into reality. Instead of resolving situations then moving away from them, put the effort into making sure that they don’t happen again. Roll up your sleeves and do the hard work. No excuses, Gemini. 

Cancer 

Life isn’t about winning or losing. The moments when you shine are wonderful, but the times when you are strengthening and empowering yourself from setbacks are golden. Striving to achieve a goal builds character and reminds you to always look onwards to attain personal greatness. Then, you can prevail. 

Leo 

The professional realm of your life is currently in flux, which is making you feel off kilter. Try to transform the work that you do and make sure it aligns with the times. Everything is shifting, but so can you. Don’t go against the energy, use it to your advantage.

Virgo 

In order to heal, you have to not be afraid to dive into your emotions. This will get messy, which may add stress to your life. However, the end result will bring you clarity and peace of mind. Therefore, it is an even trade off for you to work towards. 

Libra 

The way you conceptualize your emotions is shifting, allowing you to think and feel outside-the-box. It’ll help to entice and induce your creativity, as you are giving yourself the chance to blend your conscious and subconscious temperaments together to bring your visions to light. The result will be extremely gratifying.

Scorpio 

Relationships don’t come easy. They require flats of care, which means that you constantly have to tend to them. Even though the road to happiness may take time, it doesn’t mean that you should give up on these partnerships. Give them more energy to grow and be what you want.

Sagittarius 

Stop blaming others for your issues and take accountability. The moment you accept the fact that you’re the reason for the erraticness in your life, is the moment you can start controlling the outcome. You can create the world you want if you truly desire it and work towards it. 

Capricorn 

Although you’ll want to get lost in fantasies and daydreams this week, it’s important to bring yourself back down to reality. Focus on the here and now to ensure that you get things done. If you have time to get lost in thoughts at the week’s end, then do it.

Aquarius 

You have nothing to prove to anyone other than yourself. Rather than focusing on what others are doing and the feedback they give, work hard to achieve the goals and public stature that you want. You know you are a beacon of love and those you work with appreciate you.

Pisces 

You may feel pleasant, yet intense feelings while interacting with others. Stay level-headed and focus on what you can do to improve your relationships. Be sure to listen to what people are saying with open ears. Then, take time to react to ensure that you are hearing them out fully.

Beaver Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

What happens during a lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, full moon, and earth are in a near-perfect alignment with each other. 

What is a Blood Moon? 

The blood moon is symbolic energy based on the aspect of a lunar eclipse when the earth is exactly aligned between the sun and moon. The sun's color brings a reddish-orange color to the moon, which is super intensified.

What does it represent?

This is a heightening of our intuition and emotions, as it’s an extremely potent full moon. 

When can I see the lunar eclipse? 

This is the longest partial lunar eclipse of the century and in the past 600 years. It will be at its peak on November 19 at 12:57 AM PT and 3:57 AM ET. 

Here's where the Beaver Moon gets its nickname.

According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, this is a time when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges or dams for the upcoming winter season. 

What does the lunar eclipse in Taurus mean, astrologically speaking?

Venus, the planet that governs love and money, began its pre-retrograde journey in Capricorn on November 17. The retrograde officially commences on December 19. Being that Venus is the planet that rules over the zodiac sign Taurus (the sign that the Moon will be in during the lunar eclipse), we can expect to experience delays in how we process information, intuition, and our emotions. 

The day of the eclipse, Venus and Uranus retrograde will connect, adding financial and romantic erraticism to the overall energy. Jupiter and Pluto add intensity to the overall nature. Jupiter expands sentiments, while Pluto pushes for change. The result can be groundbreaking, but that may not be a good thing. If you’re looking to have a different outlook on our deepest heartfelt emotions, then it will help us do that. Mostly, it’s asking us to decide what we want to invest our time and energy in. Is the effort worth the work? Or, is the juice worth the squeeze? 

The fixed star Caput Algol (known as “Medusa’s Head”) links up with the moon, creating emotional havoc. As long as we don’t resort to acting in extremities and find a calm center, we can use this energy to implement growth. 

What rituals do astrologers recommend trying during the eclipse?

A Blood Moon eclipse is a wonderful time to connect with your ancestors. Clean and clear your altars, light white candles to evoke their spirits, and present them with flowers to show your appreciation. 

Lunar eclipses are times in which we have to let go of things that are no longer serving our highest good. Therefore, it’s advised to do heavy cleaning around the home and to throw out items that you don’t want. Donate them to charity. 

Do something nice for yourself. Take yourself out to an indulgent meal or to treat yourself to a massage. Have a healing bath with flowers, herbs, and Epsom salt to rejuvenate your body. This is a time of self-care, which is why it’s important to treat your body and self like a temple. 

Light pink or green candles and set up a vase of pink roses to evoke and honor Venusian energy. Give the goddess of love and money the respect she deserves with a simple act of gratitude. 

The lunar eclipse has a message for each zodiac sign.

Each sun sign will be affected by the eclipse on November 19 differently, according to astrologers. Meditate on one of the below mantras, depending on your sun sign, as part of your lunar eclipse ritual. 

Aries

You are the one who calls the shots in your life, which means that you only answer to yourself. 

Taurus 

Be selfish with love: Shift your heart’s focus and give yourself the TLC that you crave. 

Gemini 

As long as you know who you are, it shouldn’t be hard to figure out where you’re going. 

Cancer 

Friends are showing their true colors, which will make you want to disconnect for a moment. 

Leo 

Don’t swim against the tides that are coming towards you, opt to move with the currents. 

Virgo 

Thinking outside the box will allow you to shift and evolve the perspectives that you’ve grown up with. 

Libra 

As long as you center yourself, change and growth won’t throw your footing off balance. 

Scorpio 

As one relationship closes, another fruitful partnership comes to fruition at this time. 

Sagittarius 

You don’t have to take on the weight of the world to prove that you’re strong and stealth. 

Capricorn 

Creativity runs through your heart and veins, urging you to show your art to the world.

Aquarius 

The ground may feel shaky, which is why it’s best to root yourself in your fundamental beliefs. 

Pisces 

Connect with those you love to ensure that you’re not swimming through life alone.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 11/3-11/9

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

WITCH TIPS

The New Moon in Scorpio occurs on November 4 and is going to shake up our lives. The same day, rebellious Uranus, who is retrograde in Taurus, opposes the Sun, awakening our wildest sentiments. Mercury enters Scorpio on November 5, awakening our deepest desires and intuition. Tender Venus enters Capricorn on November 5 (Venus will be in Capricorn until March due to the upcoming retrograde). Mercury and Venus gently connect on November 6, heightening passions and sensualities. 

Aries 

This week demands TLC, as your power and desire may make you say things to those you care about that aren’t nice and kind. With impulsivity buzzing in the aether, it's important that you think before about what you’re wanting to express before bluntly stating it to avoid intense confrontations. 

Taurus 

It’s time to turn over a new leaf with those you care about. This means letting go of past issues and starting fresh. Allowing others the chance and opportunity to prove themselves to you will have positive effects on the relationship, as it will take you both to amazing heights.

Gemini 

Your mind is racing a million miles per minute and you are focusing on all of the things that need to get done instead of taking care of yourself. Don’t get too caught up in your own world that you forget to smell the roses — that’s important to do.

Cancer 

Romance is in the air, but this tender feeling may be short lived if you don’t let go of your relationship fears. You’re the one holding yourself back from your happily-ever-after ending. Instead of dwelling about past issues and arguments, focus on the present and lean into the good vibes. 

Leo 

Negative sentiments may hold you back from attaining your visions. If you are able to let go of the gloomy outlook, you’ll be able to change the way you feel. Don’t hold onto old fears and ways of thinking, they are only holding you back. Bring in a positive mindset.

Virgo 

Think of your heart as a garden that needs to be tended to regularly. The more love you give, the stronger this muscle becomes. However, it can easily be depleted of energy if it’s not cared for. Instead of giving unconditionally, make sure you’re receiving to balance out the energy.

Libra 

Your confidence will be heightened, due to the fact that you’re shedding the fake exterior you put on for others to see and being true. Living from an authentic place and space will allow you to appreciate all the fabulous and unique things about yourself — which others will love. 

Scorpio 

Emotions are high this week, which is why it’s best to lower the flame and simmer down before confronting someone about a situation that upset you. Giving yourself time to chill out before asserting yourself will be helpful in allowing you to not elevate the energy on a combustible matter.

Sagittarius 

Biting your tongue in silence is hard for you to do, especially when you’re feeling as though others are being salty to you. This week, the words you choose as a defense mechanism can come out extra harsh, which is why it’s ideal to ignore all the haters and negativity.

Capricorn 

Your reflective nature is making you look back at the past with a cynical heart and mind. Remember that what’s done is done. Let the lessons you’ve learned help you to become the best version of yourself, rather than using it as a crutch to not move on and grow.

Aquarius 

Tensions in relationships will escalate, creating roadblocks that will require work. Instead of trying to break down walls to get through to others, try a little tenderness in your approach. You’ll be surprised by how far you can get if you change the way you handle yourself in emotional situations. 

Pisces 

The pressure that you put on yourself to be perfect is causing you to experience  burnout. Rather than taking on more projects, allow yourself to have some time to rest. If you’re exhausted then the quality of work you produce won’t be up to par and neither will your mindset.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 10/27-11/2/2021

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

WITCH TIPS

Happy Samhain, Halloween, and Dia de los Muertos!

Venus, who’s in Sagittarius, harmonizes with Jupiter, who’s in Aquarius, on October 28 and brings our tender sentiments to the surface of our consciousness. Mars enters Scorpio on October 30, allowing us to take action and make decisions on an intuitive level. The Scorpio Sun and Saturn, who’s in Aquarius, square off on October 30. This will have an intense effect on our confidence. Be gentle with yourselves and others on the 30th! Mercury connects with Jupiter on November 1, then shares a fraught aspect with Pluto, who’s in Capricorn (the third time these planets squared off this season, the other occurrences were September 22 and October 1). This will make communication tense and frustrating. Use your words wisely and with compassion.

Aries

Embrace your inner strength and stand up against those who aim to bring you down. Your bravery, humility, and kindness will help you to channel the energy of the collective and of yourself. Before you know it, you’ll be able to assert your will and sentiments unapologetically while honoring yourself.

Taurus 

Let your intuition guide you in making the best career decisions that will help to elevate your status. As long as you stay true to the vision that you want to put out there, you’ll be able to attain all the goals, dreams, and aspirations that you have always wanted.

Gemini 

Never one to hold onto the boundaries that are set in place, you’re learning to respect the limits set upon you in relationships and uphold the boundaries that you set forth for others. Remember, it takes two to tango. You have to respect and play by the rules as well.

Cancer 

Power struggles with others may bring you down this week. All you can do is learn how to handle conflict — especially with those that you care about. Rather than holding back on your emotions then erupting, you’ll find better tactics to express how you feel in a loving way. 

Leo 

This week calls for personal reflection in order to understand the best roads to navigate in the upcoming days. It’s not that you’re unsure of how to move forward, but you want to align yourself with something that ignites the higher minded parts of yourself that speaks to your heart. 

Virgo 

Sometimes you are too fair, which can be difficult if you're being wronged. Even in the face of adversity, the best thing to do is to handle matters in an authentic manner. Then you can walk away from the matter knowing that you gave it your all and did your best.

Libra 

Abundance and prosperity comes to those who are willing to make essential financial changes. Although it’s been a while since you’ve been able to attain monetary gain, this week opens up the roads to personal success and heightens your bank account. Financial growth and wellness can happen, now that you’re ready. 

Scorpio 

With your confidence at a high, there is nothing that you can’t achieve. Now that you are willing and wanting to make a big splash into the deep end of the ocean, you will be able to seek out all the objectives and desires that you want on a deep level.

Sagittarius

You’ve been relying on fate and destiny to bring your dreams to light. However, the most important and essential ingredient in any spell is you. As long as you are clear with your aims and desires, it’ll be easier for you to move towards personal merit and success this week.

Capricorn 

Stop trying to fight and resist the changes that are happening in your world. The moment you lean into them and accept these situations, you’ll be able to move along and flow easily with them. An open heart and mind will guide you along the way in your personal journey. 

Aquarius 

You are in the midst of a huge metamorphosis that will heal your life. The sweet spot is at the end of the week and allows you to salve old emotional wounds and mend your broken heart. Use this time to your advantage and give yourself TLC through the process. 

Pisces 

Augmenting and correcting bad habits can be harder than it looks, which is why this week calls for you to make a plan on how you want to change the problems and make them better. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself in how you transform. Take it day-by-day, Pisces.

Welcome Scorpio Season 2021!

From October 23- November 21st, this is a period of death & rebirth. At this time, our life force withdraws from the world of activity and goes inward. Scorpio’s energy is: passionate, intense, destructive, regenerative, and feminine. This is a fixed water sign and Scorpio represents the urge to sink deeply into the depths of emotional experience and to destroy old structures in order to make room for the new to emerge.

How to work with scorpion energy: Work to eliminate old habits and behaviors that have been holding you back. Issues that involve control/power can also arise now and emotional patterns and conditions stemming from childhood or past lifetimes. psychological counseling can be helpful during this period.”- Skye Alexander, Magickal Astrology There is no shame in taking necessary steps to providing balance and tranquility for your mental health. Scorpio is also associated with magick of all types: this sign is the ruler of the genitals so sex magick, and occult power, as well as the hidden realms are at the forefront. It’s no surprise that many pagan holidays celebrating the life cycles of death and rebirth I.e Samhain, Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos fall within Scorpio season.

Use this time for magical workings pertaining to sexuality, divination, journeying, and prosperity rituals crystals: obsidian, and garnet.

Here are the key dates for Scorpio Season:

• The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23, igniting our intuition, emotions, and drive to achieve the impossible. Transformation and change is in the air, move towards personal growth if you can.

Astrology by Lisa Stardust for TheHoodwitch.com

WITCH TIPS

The week starts off with a fraught Full Moon in Aries on October 20 that brings major changes to our lives. Mars, who’s in Libra, squares off with Pluto, who’s in Capricorn, on October 22. This powerful astrological aspect will create power struggles and drama with others. The Sun moves into Scorpio on October 23, allowing everyone to dive deep within themselves and evolve over the next 30 days. Venus, who’s in Sagittarius, and Neptune, who’s retrograde in Pisces, square off on October 26. Dreaminess, exhaustion, sensitivity, and paranoia in love will exist as a result. 

Aries 

We live in a material world, which is a sentiment that’s consuming your energies. When the Sun shifts into Scorpio on October 23, the focus will be on how you can use your power and status to attain your goals. Rather than fixate on how to rule the world, use the planetary alignments to implement change within yourself and the world. Being influential doesn’t mean having money and being bossy, it means having the ability to make changes that can benefit everyone — not just you. 

Taurus 

It’s always good to check in on existing contracts that are in the works. Call your friends and arrange for a friendly get together when the Sun glides into Scorpio on October 23. Suggest an activity like a yoga class or lunch date a few miles out of town to connect with your pals. Use this time to discuss everything that’s been going on and share details of your life. Let those who are close to you into your world and feel your love.

Gemini 

Slowing down isn’t in your nature, but it will allow you to stay what you mean when you feel it, instead of impulsively stating unverified facts that can hurt others. Also, it gives you the chance to make the best decisions possible (that is if you choose to analyze the situations thoroughly). By the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to contemplate your next moves and think before you take action in pursuing your goals. This will secure a victorious triumph for you.

Cancer 

Scorpio season awakens your tender heart from its temporary slumber. The moment the Sun glides into Scorpio on October 23 is when you’ll begin to feel the intense emotional shift that heightens your sentimental vibes. You’ll want to take risks in putting your feelings out in the open and expressing your desires to others. Don’t be afraid to seek the love that you deserve this month. Rather than being lost in a dream, try to find the emotions and frequency that aligns with your vibe. 

Leo 

Your personal life is heating up. Being the vivacious lion that you are, it won’t go unnoticed. When the Sun moves into Scorpio on October 23, you’ll begin to implement extra self-care into your regular routine. This means taking more cat naps throughout the day, disconnecting from the drama, and adorning your claws with beautiful nail art. Boundaries are the only thing that’s getting in the way of having peace of mind. Double up on protecting your energetic realm by setting important and necessary limits. 

Virgo

The problem with not letting your mind rest and disengaging from obstacles that present themselves is that you are focusing too much on things that aren’t important. These are only minor obstacles. Allot yourself the chance to see the bigger picture. Don’t overthink matters too much and set yourself up for self-sabotage. Stop analyzing everything and everyone, Virgo. The moment you gain a distant perspective, the easier it will be to see situations with a clearer lenses. Consider this before becoming stressed or upset. 

Libra 

Use this week’s cosmic shifts to attain your aspirations — you know, the ones that you had in your youth that have been put on the back burner for years. This will lead you towards personal fulfillment and happiness because you are living out your dreams (minus the minor detour that you took for a minute). The more you connect with the visions that you wanted years ago and the person you believed you could be, the sweeter it will be when they come your way.

Scorpio

When you get a sense of a situation, you rarely debate your sentiments and trust your gut instincts. That is, until now. You’re starting to second guess yourself. This will lead you to investigate matters thoroughly to get to the bottom of the matter. It’s not that you’re unwilling to believe what is being shown to you, it’s more that you don’t want to. You’d rather believe in the dream — even though it’s not real, as the truth will prove to be stranger than fiction.

Sagittarius 

This week gives you the opportunity to restart your cash flow and discuss your spending habits with a confidant. This will give you the chance to set realistic financial goals and live nicely on the allotted budget in order to have extra money to spend on the upcoming seasonal holidays. When you go shopping for presents, purchase meaningful and sentimental gifts that will lift the spirits of those you’re giving it to. The cost doesn’t matter as long as it’s from the heart.

Capricorn 

I Committing to a cause that you believe in well value to feel as though you are helping others, making headway in their personal aspirations, and fulfilling a part of your self that has felt empty. Use this week as a chance to align with organizations or projects that speak to your heart. Doing so will make you feel good so you are a part of a bigger picture that helps others heal, grow, change, and be the best version of themselves.

Aquarius

You’re finally making headway with your boss, peers, and family members by getting the positive praise and feedback that you have wanted to hear for the past few months. The caveat is that you are finding that all that glitters isn’t necessarily gold when it comes to your goals, objectives, and relationships (mostly because you are longing to focus more on your personal life at the moment) which is why you will be reassessing and reflecting on your plans for the future.

Pisces 

The Sun’s ingress into Scorpio calls for you to investigate life’s mysteries — particularly situations that are affecting your relationships. You can’t easily let matters go, that is until you’ve found answers that resonate with your line of thinking. What you find out may be disheartening, resulting in  tensions rising with others. Before you take the argument to the next level, ask yourself if the punishment fits the crime? If not, you may opt to forgive and forget.
