WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
Venus will be extra sensitive and driven — so expect to fight for who and what you love. Mercury in Scorpio aspects Uranus retrograde in Taurus on November 4 and Neptune retrograde in Pisces on November 6, urging us to embrace newness into our lives. Saturn in Pisces turns direct today on November 4th after being retrograde since June 17. We’ll be able to commit to the future and create boundaries on today. The Last Quarter Moon in Leo occurs on November 5, ushering us to envision a new way of thinking, being, and living.
Witch tip
It's important to focus on yourself during November 5’s Last Quarter Moon in Leo. Light an orange or gold candle (the colors of Leo) to ignite your passions. Meditate on what brings you pleasure and joy as you spark the flame to bring these attributes to life.
Aries
Unexpected expenses have the potential to manifest under this cosmic climate, so tread lightly if you can. You may also notice that people are overstepping their boundaries with you this week. If someone starts to push limits, try to find a polite way to shut them down, without acting defensive.
Taurus
Romance will be in the air throughout the week, as the Sun forms a sweet aspect to lucky Jupiter. If you're a night owl, burning the midnight oil, this is the perfect time to cozy up with someone special, or give a little extra TLC to yourself. You deserve it!
Gemini
Trying to take care of many things at once could lead to mistakes that are hard to recover from later. Don't worry though, this energy won't linger all week. A significant shift will occur, adding an element of organization. It's a good time to sit down and create a to-do list.
Cancer
Feel free to dream big right now, but keep in mind that things will move more slowly right now than they have over the last few days. Rather than feeling impatient, try to look at this as a reprieve and enjoy taking a more relaxed approach to your daily life.
Leo
You'll want to keep your guard up against overly charismatic people. There is potential that you could be taken for a ride if you fall hard for charm over substance. Though the week may feel like it's filled with uncertainty, fluctuation to energy levels, and confusion, it'll clear up soon.
Virgo
You may feel as though you're stuck or emotionally shut down, which could leave you feeling isolated during the first days of the week. Luckily, the planets will send love your way, asking you to be patient and loving with both ourselves and the people around you by week’s end.
Libra
Your mind will be ectremely active throughout the week, making it the perfect time to engage in a creative activity or brainstorm ideas for the future. Just be sure to write down any brilliant ideas that pop into your head, otherwise you might forget them later. Ignite the spark within.
Scorpio
The week ahead brings a lighter energy, putting you in the mood to show compassion. Your psychic abilities will be on fire right now as well, making it the ideal time to use your pendulum or tarot cards. Take cleansing breaths if you encounter anyone with less than ideal vibes.
Sagittarius
The planetary square that is occurring under the Last Quarter Moon in Leo on November 5 could bring strange dreams your way, but try not to read into them too much, as any messages that come through will likely be too convoluted and hard to unpack in the days ahead.
Capricorn
You’ve been working hard and deserve a break from mundane life. You are in the mood for adventure and socialization. If you can swing it, try to make some plans to meet your best pals for dinner, but be sure to try out a place you've never been to before.
Aquarius
You’re setting boundaries with those you care about in an effort to protect your energy. Keeping your emotions in check will help when dealing with matters. You'll be able to stand your ground if others are pushing limits and reciprocate the sentiment to respect the feelings of friends and family.
Pisces
The balance you keep between your responsibilities and self-care will be an important theme, so you'll need to make sure you're checking in with yourself to avoid running yourself into the ground. This sentiment will gain further traction under the Last Quarter Moon, leaving you scrambling to keep things together.
Honoring Our Ancestors: Embracing Their Legacy and Honoring the Dead
Written by Bri Luna
Our ancestors have shaped who we are today, and it's essential to honor their memory and keep their legacy alive. Join me as we explore the significance of honoring our ancestors and discover powerful rituals to pay tribute to those who have passed away.
Embracing Our Roots: Our ancestors are the foundation of our being, and by honoring them, we honor ourselves. Take a moment to reflect on your family history, the sacrifices they made, and the values they instilled in you. Embrace the richness of your heritage and let it guide you on your journey.
Rituals to Honor the Dead: Rituals provide us with a sacred space to connect with our ancestors and express our gratitude for their presence in our lives. Here are a few rituals you can incorporate into your own practice:
Ancestor Altar: Create a beautiful altar in your home dedicated to your ancestors. Place photographs, mementos, and objects that remind you of them. Light candles and incense as a symbol of remembrance and create a serene atmosphere for reflection and connection.
Ancestral Offerings: Offerings are a way to show reverence and appreciation for our ancestors. Prepare their favorite foods, drinks, or other items they enjoyed in life. Leave them on your altar or in a special place, inviting their spirits to partake in the feast.
Ancestral Prayers: Take time each day to offer prayers or affirmations to your ancestors. Speak your gratitude for their guidance and protection, and ask for their continued blessings. This practice strengthens the bond between the living and the deceased and deepens your connection.
Ancestor Meditation: Set aside a quiet space and time to meditate on the memories and wisdom of your ancestors. Visualize them surrounding you with love and support. Allow their presence to wash over you, bringing comfort and reassurance.
Visit Their Resting Place: If possible, visit the gravesites or memorial places of your ancestors. Bring flowers, light candles, and spend a moment in silence. Reflect on their lives, express your love, and leave tokens of remembrance as a sign of your continued connection.
Let's remember that honoring our ancestors is not confined to a single day or season—it's an ongoing practice that enriches our lives and connects us to something greater. By recognizing their contributions and celebrating their presence, we ensure that their spirits live on.
WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 10/25-31/2023
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
October 28 brings the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, which aims to shapeshift the way we feel about ourselves and romantic endeavors. The same day, Mercury and Mars, who are both in Scorpio, oppose Jupiter retrograde in Taurus, creating tension as we demand to be heard and seen by those who aren’t giving us attention or affection. Mercury and Scorpio formally unite in Scorpio on October 29, allowing us to speak concisely and directly.
Venus in Virgo harmonizes with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on October 31, making Halloween full of excitement and celebration.
Witchtip:
The veil is thinning between the physical and metaphysical worlds, which is why we should light a white candle, salt our homes, and place an obsidian or Black tourmaline by our beds to offer us protection. As the energy heightens, it’s vital that we meditate to center our energy and to decompress our minds.
Aries
You don't know how others are feeling right now, but that will be revealed to you during October 28’s eclipse — especially in romantic situations and matters of the heart. All of your personal relationships and acquaintances are going through a phase of reconnection and psychological evolution throughout the week.
Taurus
The public gaze is totally on your amazing self these days, making you a prime candidate for that dream job or favorable news that you've been waiting for. If you’re self-employed this is a great time to expand your horizons. As long as you believe in yourself, success is guaranteed.
Gemini
you need to feel and be supported on an emotional scale this week. No matter how vulnerable the healing process might be, you are not alone in the world. Even though it seems like you're the only one in the room that is filled with lots of people these days.
Cancer
Be prepared for some unexpected news and surprises that have you jumping into new experiences almost instantaneously. On the flip side, you may even want to jumpstart an activity or revise a creative project that has been on the back burner. The week aims to help you in reclaiming your artistry.
Leo
There is a cornucopia of abundance being sent your way in all realms of your career. It might even be the perfect week to revamp and send out those resumes to job prospects, or start that project you've been putting on hold. The cosmos are supporting your ability to succeed.
Virgo
The lunar eclipse might cause upsets or miscommunications in your personal and professional relationships. But you can overcome such obstacles with patience and understanding. You’l be able to smooth things over in no time, as long as you practice empathy and compassion before having an emotional reaction to the situation.
Libra
Let go of your preconceived notions about what success is supposed to look like. You are changing the game and giving it a new name. You're having a spiritual awakening. Perhaps you didn't realize what’s important to you until now and want to move towards enriching those aspects of life.
Scorpio
You've always been an extremist when it comes to igniting your passions, and this is a good week to experiment with different possibilities, projects, and endeavors. At times you might be jumping into unknown territories, but it is all the better for you to be directly involved in your pursuits.
Sagittarius
Your dedication is being tested this week. That doesn't mean you should stress at this moment. Your passionate sign has never given up when it comes to a good fight. This time. However, this is an internal battle that you'll have to overcome more specifically related to fear of rejection.
Capricorn
Pay close attention to what news you receive over the next few days. With plenty of raw and real conversations going on, you might just come to a conclusion that you've needed to see understand for many years. This can create a complete change in direction for your internal compass.
Aquarius
This is a perfect week to show the world what you got! Harness the celestial energy and use it to guide you along this incredible path. Appreciating yourself will allow you the advantage over your competitors and will help you to see much you’re worth to others and to yourself.
Pisces

Expect something magical to happen since your intuitive and sensitive sign is making you totally in alignment with the energies at play.
Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse 2023
The Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus occurs on October 28 at 1:24 PM PT and 4:24 PM ET. This eclipse marks the end of the cycle that began on January 18, 2022, when the Lunar Nodes of Destiny entered the Taurus and Scorpio axis. The next time we’ll experience similar eclipses will be in 2040.
The eclipse aspects Mercury in Scorpio, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter retrograde in Taurus, and Saturn retrograde in Pisces. These planets are urging us to find our true calling and stand up for ourselves in matters of the heart. Add in the asteroids Juno in Virgo, Vesta in Cancer, and Black Moon Lilith in Virgo, and we'll want to break away from the past and start anew to attain happiness. Tears will be shed, arguments will intensify, and our intuition will heighten since the veil between the spiritual and physical world becomes thin close to Halloween.
Mercury and Mars are both in Scorpio (they form a close conjunction the following day) and oppose Jupiter retrograde in Taurus the day of the eclipse. This creates a turbulent vibe. Words can hurt. Don't say things that can be callous — choose kindness instead. With Venus currently in Virgo, the planet’s least favorite placement, we may be critical of others — especially ourselves. The good news is that the Moon is exalted in Taurus, helping to ground us amidst the eclipse.

Capricorn
Your creativity is flourishing, allowing you to create vibrant projects.
Aquarius

Welcome Scorpio Season
Written by Bri Luna Astrology by Lisa Stardust
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 as emotional patterns and conditions stemming from childhood or past lifetimes. psychological counseling can be helpful during this period.. There is no shame in taking the necessary steps to provide 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 the Scorpio season.
This is a month when we’ll feel strong and secure in all we do making it a prime time to embrace our magic.
Use this time for magical workings pertaining to sexuality, divination, journeying, and prosperity rituals crystals: obsidian, and garnet.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 9/27-10/3
Astrology by: Lisa Stardust
The Super Full Harvest Moon in Aries rises on Sept 29th and offers us a chance to reflect on our aspirations. Venus in Leo squares Uranus retrograde in Taurus on September 29, bringing exciting romantic and financial news our way. Mercury in Virgo harmonizes with Uranus retrograde on September 2, expanding our understanding and knowledge. Mercury opposes Neptune retrograde in Pisces on October 2, creating confusion and paranoia. Don’t trust the information that comes our way, as the Neptunian influence is making it faulty. Venus connects with the Nodes of Destiny on October 2, urging fate to take a hand in bringing us together with others and strengthening relationships. Mercury aspects Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on October 3, adding power to our words and thoughts.
witch tip:
The week ahead is a powerful time for divination — especially on the Full Moon. Tap into your own intuition by giving yourself a tarot or an oracle reading. This will allow you to understand yourself on a deeper level and have better insights into your desires.
Aries
You might be struggling with finding the right words to express yourself. Rather than vocally communicating, try to find other alternative means like writing a letter or email. Getting your feelings out there is important for you, which is why you shouldn’t hold them back and let them be known.
Taurus
In order to move forward, it’s essential to look at your fears in the mirror and see that they’re not as intense as you thought. You’ll be able to squash a few by understanding they’re a manifestation of your insecurities. Accepting and owning your phobias is instrumental in letting them go.
Gemini
Your hopes and goals seem out of reach this week. But, they are actually not. Your aspirations are on hold until you figure out what your truest vision is and what you want to create or bring to the world. Rethink your approach in order to achieve your current objectives.
Cancer
If you’re looking to make professional moves at work, now is the time to do so. You could get one-on-one time with management, your boss, or an investor who’ll listen to your career plan and business goals. Once they listen to your pitch, they’ll want to invest in your future.
Leo
It’s never too late to do the right and correct thing. If you’ve gotten into arguments with others, you shouldn’t take a stubborn stance or approach to the situation that you played a part in. Consider having a discussion to mend issues before they escalate. Leave your pride at home.
Virgo
Do not let outside noise or influence confuse your thoughts and sentiments. The less you share with others, the easier it’ll be to make your own judgments without anyone whispering information in your ear. Hold your emotions close to your chest and let your intuition guide you towards your destiny.
Libra
The more you give to others, the less time you’ll have to focus on yourself. Strike a balance to have enough time to heal from a hard day. This will allow you to have more vigor when in the company of others and energy to help those you care about.
Scorpio
Although you usually rely on your intuition as a guide, you’re finding that it’s not on point this week. Therefore, looking at the cold, hard facts of the matter is important in determining the outcome of the matter at hand. Use your investigative skills and innate intelligence to find answers.
Sagittarius
Your love life might feel as though it’s in the rinse cycle, but that is just a temporary sentiment. Allow it time to regain momentum by gradually working on relationship goals with your partner. Make sure they’re involved in this process, because it takes two to tango in romantic matters.
Capricorn
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on at one time or another — including you. It may seem as though the whole world is against you, when it’s not. You just need a lot of tender love, kindness, and compassion right now to help get through this emotionally sensitive time,
Aquarius
Embrace your true self and let it be seen by the world. You don’t have to hide who you are in order to get attention and affection. If anyone has an issue with you — then it is their problem because you are beyond fabulous on the inside and out.
Pisces
It is wonderful that your confidence is at a high, but that doesn’t mean you should let it get to your head and act like you rule the world or to be showy with others. Keep yourself grounded and humble by remembering where you came from by honoring your roots.
The Super Harvest Moon In Aries
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
The Super Harvest Full Moon in Aries occurs on September 29th at 2:57 AM PT and 5:57 AM ET. It’s the first Full Moon of fall and the last Supermoon of 2023. The Harvest Moon dictates the time we gather the crops in fall. It is the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. Since this Full Moon is a Supermoon, the Moon and Earth are in a closer distance to each other than usual, making the appearance and affects of the lunation more vibrant and intense.
The Supermoon in the fire sign Aries is known for its passionate nature and can-do attitude. However, we may feel exhausted, emotionally drained, and unable to attain our goals at the moment due to the current placement of Mars. The planetary ruler of Aries is Mars. The current position of Mars is in Libra and on the South Node of Destiny. Since Mars in Libra is a weak position for the action planet and the South Node isn’t a favorable place for this planet, it’ll be hard to let go of the past and we’ll want to have the last word in matters (which is felt through the square between Venus and Uranus retrograde that occurs on the same day as the Full Moon).
With the asteroids Pallas (intellect), Vesta (desire), Pholus (decisions), Ixion (betrayal), Quaoar (creativity), and Varuna (law) in play, we’ll have a challenging time deciphering right from wrong. Our morals (as well as the virtues of others) will be in question, making us think about using unscrupulous means to attain our goals — whether or not we choose to do so is a personal decision. Two paths are present — pick the one that represents your personal values. Choose wisely.
Ritual For The Full Moon
Reassess your goals for the future. Visualize and meditate what you want to attain with the knowledge you know now. How does it look? What different approaches should you take? Journal this information and use it to your advantage when you’re ready to take action to ensure your ventures take off without a hitch.
How The Full Moon Will Affect You?
Aries
Your emotions are heightened, which means you may be extra sensitive. Give yourself TLC.
Taurus
Allow yourself to take time to heal, rest, and relax before taking on endeavors and projects.
Gemini
If you’re longing to change the world, remember that it starts with you and all that you do.
Cancer
You’re wanting to expand your horizons and attain professional goals at this moment.
Leo
Your mind is growing, which is why you should start journaling your personal transformation.
Virgo
You are a strong being. Therefore, it’s important to embrace your inner power and intuition.
Libra
Add passion to your partnership by sharing your intimate desires, needs, and wants with them.
Scorpio
As long as you have a strong foundation and support system, you can accomplish anything.
Sagittarius
Creativity is running through you, which is why your artistry should pour out on the paper.
Capricorn
Your ancestors are helping you overcome obstacles standing in your way to success.
Aquarius
Your words have depth. Say what you mean when you say it when you speak from the heart.
Pisces
Look in the mirror and give yourself a hug. Loving yourself is essential and key.
A Modern Witch's Guide to Honoring and Celebrating the Fall Equinox/Mabon 2023
Written by Bri Luna
The Fall Equinox in the Northern hemisphere took place Friday September 22 at 11:50PM PST and on Saturday September 23, we officially welcome in Fall also known as Mabon (MAY-bon) which is a significant time for witches and pagans as it marks the balance between light and darkness before the descent into the darker half of the year. Here are five ways for Modern witches to honor and celebrate this magical time:
1. Create an Autumn Altar: Set up a dedicated altar space to represent the energies of the Fall Equinox. Use colors such as oranges, yellows, browns, and deep reds to symbolize the changing leaves. Include harvest fruits, nuts, acorns, and seasonal flowers. Add representations of the sun and moon to represent the balance of light and darkness. Light candles and incense to fill the space with a cozy and magical ambiance.
2. Harvest Feast: Gather your friends and loved ones for a feast to honor the abundance of the season. Prepare a meal using ingredients harvested during this time, such as apples, pumpkins, squashes, and root vegetables. Set a table with autumn-themed decorations and incorporate traditional fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Offer gratitude for the bountiful harvest and share stories of abundance and gratitude.
3. Outdoor Rituals: Connect with nature by performing a ritual outdoors. Find a spot in nature, such as a forest, park, or your own backyard. Create a sacred circle by laying out leaves or stones to mark the boundaries. Meditate and reflect on the balance between light and dark in your own life. Offer gratitude for the blessings of the previous season while setting intentions for the coming months. Consider performing divination or tarot readings to gain insights for the upcoming season.
4. Craft Seasonal Decorations: Embrace your creativity and craft seasonal decorations to infuse your home with the spirit of Fall Equinox. Make a wreath using dried leaves, pinecones, and ribbons. Create corn husk dolls or decorate miniature pumpkins. Make a gratitude jar by writing down things you are grateful for and placing them in a jar to be read during the darker months to uplift your spirits. I am also very excited for cinnamon brooms!
5. Release and Let Go: The Fall Equinox is a time of releasing and letting go. Write down any negative emotions, limiting beliefs, or experiences that you wish to release. Find a safe place outdoors, such as a bonfire, cauldron, or a fire pit, and burn the paper, visualizing the release of those energies. As the smoke rises, imagine yourself being cleansed and renewed. You can also perform a ritual bath using herbs like sage, rosemary, or lavender to cleanse and purify your energy.
Fall Equinox journal prompt:
Reflecting on Balance: Take a moment to reflect on the concept of balance in your own life. In what areas do you feel balanced, and in what areas do you feel an imbalance? How can you work towards creating more harmony and equilibrium in those aspects? Consider how the energy of the Fall Equinox can guide you in finding balance within yourself and in your relationships, goals, or daily routines.
Remember, these suggestions are just a starting point, and you can adapt and personalize them to suit your own beliefs and practices. The key is to honor the changing season, express gratitude, and embrace the energies of balance and transformation that the Fall Equinox brings.

Words have power, which is why it’s important to think about what you say in the moment you’re expressing yourself. You never know who’ll take your sentiments to heart, so be careful in what you share and only state the truth in order to be honest in all you do.
Leo
Your professional goals are shifting, allowing you to see the peripheral aspects of your career. In order to conquer your goals and hopes, it’s essential to journal your aspirations. Manifesting this way will bring your dream job to you, as you’ll be clear in what you want for the future.
Virgo
You’re wanting to cut people loose this week — especially those who aren’t giving you the attention and affection you deserve. Before making decisions, contemplate what kind of break you need. If it’s a moment of calm then let that be known before assumptions are made and feelings are hurt.
Libra
Although the short game might be appealing this week, you’re finding that it’s best to play your hand out and take the long route toward resolving your objectives. The more energy you give to making your dreams a reality — the sweeter it’ll be when it actually happens for you.
Scorpio
You might feel somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of chatter going on in your various circles and communities. Pay careful attention to what is happening around you, as well as what’s going on on the news with events swirling around especially since this playful energy can take an unexpected turn.
Sagittarius
The week ahead releases pain and allows you to take steps forward into a life-changing journey. The New Moon is helping you to release fear through the zone of spirituality. It is important to honor your ancestral roots, and appreciate the intuitive guidance being given to you right now.
Capricorn
There are many challenges presented that require careful analysis. In fact, you might just be too hard on yourself — especially as trickster Mercury turns direct and encourages you to weigh out every situation making it tough to make a final decision. Remember, that you alone know what is best for you.
Aquarius
Your energy is heightening and expanding, giving you the opportunity to see beyond this world. The more you engage in using and understanding your power, the greater it’ll be when you need it most — it is coming sooner than you think, which is why it’s best to prepare yourself.
Pisces
You’re turning over a new leaf in relationships, which is helping you heal the past and live a better life in the present with others. This won’t be easy. Expect tears, highs, and lows, as well as a bevy of emotions while navigating through existing problems to a kinder place.
WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 9/6-12/2023
Through the Flower Scarf, by Judy Chicago
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
The week starts off with the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini, giving us a chance to discuss what we want to release. The Sun and Mercury retrograde connect in Virgo on September 6th, creating an astrological aspect called “cazimi” (which translates to “in the heart of the Sun”). This is the best day of retrograde, making it high time to implement plans and sign contracts. The Sun and Jupiter retrograde in Taurus link up on September 8th, expanding our earthly horizons and passions.
Witchtip:
The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini, on September 6, is a wonderful time to think about what you want to attain in life. With the retrograde in full effect, as well as the planetary ruler (Mercury) of the Sun in Virgo and Moon in Gemini being retrograde the same day as Mercury cazimi, it’s a great day to reflect on the changes that you wish to make in life. Journal and mediate your thoughts. Discuss them with others before making a decision to gain insight and to refine your choices.
Aries
Acknowledging your part in a bad situation will create a hit to your ego. But, it’ll also allow you to see that you aren’t always able to get away with things and to own your actions. Accountability is key and essential, which is why you should be prepared to have discussions.
Taurus
You are ready to tackle your goals. There is a ton you can step into this week to really solidify your plans. The sun in detail-oriented Virgo is still in a glorious time to determine your aspirations and keep them moving despite any outside interference that may attempt to meddle.
Gemini
The importance of self-love is imperative right now. You may have to sit with yourself in certain respects and maybe take some time away from the hustle and bustle of the world. This is the perfect week to set up and alter or honor your spirit guides in some capacity.
Cancer
Peel back your layers and allow others to know you on an intimate basis. The more you share with those you care about, the easier it’ll be to forge a connection and create a long-lasting relationship. Don’t hold back this week, Cancer, and open your heart to love.
Leo
It is time to finally let go of any bad habits that you are wanting to release. As long as you’re clear about what needs to change in your life, the more you’ll be able to make the necessary decisions and augmentations which will ultimately lead to personal growth.
Virgo
You’re yearning to find the right amount of drive to put into your career. The issue is that your personal life is in flux and you don’t have the energy to dominate your career. That changes on the 6th, when you’re driven to give your all to gain professional attention.
Libra
This week ahead offers you the chance to lean into your spirituality. You can start a daily meditation practice that aligns you with your inner self and sentiments. Also, start a journal to note your progress as the days go by. It’ll help you ignite and develop your personal faith.
Scorpio
You might consider partnering with an associate who has been working towards a common goal. Opening up the opportunity to create something bigger than anticipated will elevate you to a higher level. Remember, two heads are greater than one. Use their knowledge to your advantage to get your plans started.
Sagittarius
Maintaining your personal obligations and duties throughout the week will help you find balance, as you take on more mundane tasks. This will consume your energy and make you feel as if your purpose is to help others in big and small matters that can help them flourish and evolve.
Capricorn
You’re thirsting for infinite knowledge of the Universe, activating your wanderlust desires. It’s time to step out of your comfort zone and see the world without having any plans about where you will end up. You’ll travel with the incentive of broadening your mind and cultivating different experiences.
Aquarius
This is a week for you to play by your own rules and to take advantage of the whimsical energy coming your way. You’ll be able to take multiple chances and play every circumstance by ear without shy hesitation, knowing that the universe is protecting you and has your back.
Pisces
You’re longing to share your secrets and rely on close friends when the going gets tough. The more you choose to ignite your instincts and embrace those who’ve proven themselves to you, the more you’ll be able to depend on and believe them through any adverse situation.
