This planetary connection will give us a more authoritative approach to expressing ourselves. The next day, Mercury will connect with Jupiter in Taurus, increasing our awareness about issues and shifting our perspectives on matters. Later in the day, Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, which will bring up many emotions that we may have been holding within ourselves. We may feel phobic, paranoid, or over-sentimental. However, it could also make us fall deeper in love and become extremely creative. On January 20, the Sun aligns with Pluto in Capricorn for one last time before Pluto moves into Aquarius. This marks the end of Pluto's dance in Capricorn and the beginning of the advancements we'll be experiencing on a global level from Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius . The same day, the Sun enters Aquarius, which will bring humanitarian endeavors and social justice to the forefront of our minds. On January 23, Venus enters Capricorn, urging us to work hard for love and money, and to avoid taking any shortcuts when trying to attain these things in our lives.

Witch tip:

As Pluto moves into Aquarius on January 20, it's a week that's full of transformation and renewal. It's a time to let go of old, outdated views or situations and welcome new energies into your life. To mark this transition, light a black candle on January 20th to signify what you want to detox from your life.

1. Embrace the Power of Routine: Establishing a regular magical routine can help create a sense of stability and provide a foundation for your practice.

Consistency can bring about surprising bursts of inspiration and connection.

Read books, attend workshops, or connect with fellow practitioners to gain new insights. You might discover a new technique or belief that sparks your creativity and expands your magical horizons.

3. Connect with Nature: Nature is a powerful source of inspiration and magic. Take a walk in the woods, visit a beach, or simply spend time in your backyard garden. Observe the beauty around you, listen to the sounds of nature, and let the energy of the natural world rejuvenate your spirit. You'll be amazed at how reconnecting with nature can invigorate your magical practice.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 1/3-9/2023

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The Last Quarter Moon in Libra today, January 3rd presents us with the opportunity to determine the course of our relationships. We've been indecisive since the Full Moon on December 26th, 2023, regarding what we want to keep or let go of in our lives. Now is the time to make that choice. Mars, the planet of action, enters Capricorn, its favorite sign, on January 4th, giving us the drive to pursue our goals and finish our tasks with zeal. On January 8th, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, increasing our emotions, sensitivities, and paranoias. It's advisable to hold off on making judgments or decisions until we have all the necessary information. It's better to avoid confrontations until we know the whole story since crucial facts might be missing. The Capricorn Sun harmonizes with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on January 9, allowing us to embrace our true selves. We will want to stand up for what we believe in and allow people to see who we are at the core on an intimate level. Mars and Saturn in Pisces connect on January 9th, giving us the motivation to elevate our passions and to make sure that we conquer all that we wish to. We will want to assert ourselves and take charge. Try to be kind to others on this day.

Witch tips:

The Last Quarter Moon in Libra allows us to relinquish any negative sentiments we harbor towards others. To achieve this, it's crucial to document our emotions and release any lingering feelings. To assist with this, we can ignite a black candle once we have compiled a list to expel these sentiments and relinquish negativity. This will help in providing us with a chance to commence fresh relations with others. Additionally, once the black candle has finished burning, it may be beneficial to light a white candle to usher in positivity.

Aries

Releasing the need for approval from others can lead to remarkable personal growth in the coming week. Prioritizing your own goals and desires over the opinions of others can empower you to make choices that align with your true self and lead to new opportunities for personal growth and development.

Taurus

The upcoming week presents an opportunity for you to expand your knowledge and perspective by exploring nature and philosophies that resonate with you. This will motivate and encourage you to achieve greatness in the future — when you least expect it. Therefore, remain open-minded and receptive to new ideas and possibilities.

Gemini

This week, your attention may be drawn towards your personal life. Rather than concentrating on work-related goals, you may prioritize assisting your loved ones and yourself on a more intimate level to develop and progress. The focus is on supporting those you care about and yourself rather than other matters.

Cancer

In the upcoming week, your relationships and friendships may undergo some changes and shifts. It is important to remain open and flexible and allow growth to happen naturally with those you care about. Embrace the evolution of your relationships and be open to the possibility of something bigger and better.

Leo

Setting limitations with others can be challenging, particularly when you fail to recognize the boundaries you have established in your relationships. It is essential to take a step back and evaluate the role you have played in these situations and find ways to improve them to create a better future.

Virgo

To fully explore your creative potential, it's important to consider unconventional approaches. This means experimenting with different mediums or techniques or simply being open to new inspirations and perspectives. By embracing fresh ideas and pushing the boundaries of your creativity, you can continue to evolve and grow as an artist.

Libra

You possess a greater strength than you realize. Embracing change and releasing past experiences will enable you to evolve into a more advanced version of yourself. By doing so, you will improve and amplify your abilities. Don't be afraid to embrace newness — it’s part of your current path. Let go or be dragged.

Scorpio

Take this opportunity to address any recent relationship issues and start anew. Use this time to refresh yourself and let go of any negative feelings you've been holding onto. With the new year upon us, it's the perfect time to cultivate new and positive dynamics with friends, family, and partners.

Sagittarius

During these times, it's crucial to find ways to efficiently utilize your day instead of aimlessly going through the motions. It's essential to break away from your usual routine and establish a distinct daily ritual that brings structure to your life. Be open to stepping out of your comfort zone.

Capricorn

Your romantic feelings may be heightened, leading you to desire more intimacy with those you care about instead of suppressing your emotions. It's crucial that you take the initiative to express your feelings to the people you care about and adore with whom you want to build a connection.

Aquarius

You may discover that you prioritize enhancing your emotional intelligence and overcoming past traumas over confronting external issues head-on. In such a scenario, you may choose to focus inwardly and work on yourself instead of involving yourself in situations unrelated to you and outside your control throughout the week ahead.

Pisces

It's crucial to prioritize revitalizing your energy, particularly since you have a tendency to absorb the emotions of those around you. Concentrate on ways to replenish your sense of well-being and be more kind to yourself. This week, it's crucial to conserve your energy and take care of yourself.

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury retrograde is in full swing, causing communication, travel, information, and technology issues. Remember to back up your files and keep electronic devices safe. Avoid jumping to conclusions without knowing the full truth to prevent problems. Be cautious when sending texts or confronting others as you might come across as unruly. It's always better to think before speaking or sending messages. Edit your thoughts carefully to avoid saying regrettable things.

Mercury entered its pre-retrograde zone on November 25, and we started to notice the beginnings of the story and pieces of the puzzle that would shape the personal challenges we would face during Mercury's planetary backspin. It's important to reflect on this date because it's likely that we began to see situations that required a closer look and more careful consideration. Taking the time to contemplate and understand these matters is crucial, which is why it's great that we are revisiting them.

On December 13, Mercury will begin its retrograde journey in Capricorn. This planetary movement may cause some chaos in our lives, especially if we have been struggling with certain relationships and situations. However, it also gives us an opportunity to evaluate what we want to put our efforts into. We might decide whether we want to make an extra effort to fix something or let it go. This retrograde period may also bring back some work projects, giving us a chance to deal with them again. It may also make us reflect on the future of our careers and the direction we want to take.

As of December 23, Mercury retrograde moves into Sagittarius, allowing us to look at the bigger picture. After spending time piecing things together and completing a puzzle, we must now decide whether to dismantle it and start anew or leave it as it is. This same sentiment applies to our personal lives as well, with the bold and daring nature of Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius. It may mean that we are more cautious and avoid taking big risks until we have all the facts. Additionally, holiday travel may be challenging, and New Year's plans may be unpredictable. Nonetheless, the lesson is to make the most of every situation and not let minor setbacks get in the way of enjoying ourselves. However, we must be cautious not to speak too hastily or say things we don't mean. Sagittarius is not the most comfortable placement for Mercury, and it may cause people to be blunt or speak before thinking.

The effects of Mercury retrograde will end on January 1, 2024, New Year's Day. It might take some time for us to set our intentions and assess what we want to achieve in 2024. It's important to prioritize rest on this day and let our bodies recover from the previous night's events. Instead of pushing ourselves, it's best to focus on relaxation and taking it easy.

Although Mercury retrograde officially ended on January 1, we are still experiencing the aftershocks of all the information we gained during the retrograde. This phase is known as the retroshade phase, giving us the third chance to deal with the situations that began to appear on November 25. We have until January 20 to get things right and wrap up the events that began in November during the pre-retrograde zone phase. Utilize this time to contemplate what you want. Mercury in Sagittarius encourages us to be bold and fresh during the new year, leaving the past behind and allowing us to evolve into the person we aspire to be.

To help manage Mercury's planetary backspin, there are various ways of using magic, one of which is practicing crystal meditation. Placing a crystal, such as Labradorite, on the throat chakra can help us maintain a calm mindset and express our honest opinions with TLC. This practice not only benefits our energy but also enables us to choose the right words and communicate joyfully, avoiding defensiveness and arguments. Additionally, citrine can be used as it enhances communication skills, allowing us to articulate our thoughts more effectively. When placing the crystal on your throat chakra, it's important to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm your body. Then, focus on being in a place that restores your personal balance. Find your center in this happy place and wrap everything you want to say to others with light and healing energy. This will give you the chance to express yourself with kindness.

Gemini Full Moon

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The Beaver Full Moon In Gemini occurs on November 27 at 1:16 AM PT and 4:16 AM ET. During the day, the energy will be very intense. It is crucial to prioritize self-care to avoid being overwhelmed. As for the Gemini Full Moon, it is known for its desire to communicate emotions. However, this time, it may be challenging to express our feelings accurately due to the overwhelming emotions at a feverish high.

The current planetary alignments are causing a strong desire for control and dominance over others and our emotions. With Mars in Sagittarius and Saturn in Pisces aspecting the Gemini Moon, we must be aware of our tendency to jump to conclusions and take a strict approach when communicating. Additionally, there is potential for confusion due to conflicting energies between Mercury in Sagittarius and Neptune retrograde in Pisces (the square between these two planets occurs the same day). To avoid making false assumptions or creating unnecessary drama, it's essential to gather all the facts before confronting any issues — especially since Mercury entered its pre-retrograde zone on November 25 (the retrograde begins on December 13). Unfortunately, this Full Moon story will re-emerge on December 27 and January 8, 2024, when Mercury and Neptune square off again.

The fixed star Prima Hyadum, γ Tauri, aspects the Full Moon, along with Black Moon Lilith in Virgo and Ceres in Sagittarius. We will want to break free and embrace freedom, if only for a moment, before returning to our obligations. This is when we put ourselves first and stand up for ourselves, even if people get annoyed; we must stand our ground and assert our needs and desires. As a result, confrontations and arguments might occur. It’s important to speak up — but do so in a gentle way to not overstep. Boundaries are important, even though they might be hard to come by.

Ritual For the Full Moon

It's time to let go of the bad relationships and bad situations that are holding you back. You will need to think about who you are and what you want in order to leave your life. Sometimes, the energy that we share with people and the energy that connects us keep us from letting go. Insuch cases, a cord cutting ritual is required.

To perform a ritual for releasing negative energy and relationships, start by taking two black candles and tying their wicks together in a knot. Light the middle of the knot and focus on the energy that connects you with situations or people that you wish to let go of. As the candles burn, visualize that energy dissolving and releasing its hold on you. This will allow you to move forward without being weighed down by that energy.

After using the candle, wrap the leftover fragments in a cloth or napkin and dispose of them a few blocks away from your residence. Avoid keeping any remaining pieces of the candle near your home.

How The Full Moon Will Affect You

Aries

Participating in gossip is not a good idea. It can negatively affect your reputation, and before long, you might find others gossiping about you. It's best to avoid rumors whenever possible. Even if you have strong opinions about someone or something, it's important to be careful about the words you choose to express them.

Taurus

With your confidence at its peak, you have the power to assert yourself and speak from the heart. Though it may be daunting to express your emotions, your words are the best reflection of your feelings. By doing so, you can form a deeper connection with those close to you and build stronger relationships with others. Don’t hold back from expressing yourself.

Gemini

It's common to overlook your own needs and concentrate on others' issues, but that often results in neglecting your own problems. Take this opportunity to reflect on your desires and how to balance them with your responsibilities towards others. Take some time to connect with your inner self and channel this energy to your advantage, making meaningful progress.

Cancer

Take advantage of the Full Moon as an opportunity to unwind and recharge. As someone who absorbs a lot of energy from others, it's crucial to take a break and avoid overexertion. If you feel like disconnecting from the outside world, there is no better time to do so. The Full Moon presents the perfect chance to unwind.

Leo

It can be crucial to establish boundaries with friends. Those who disregard your limits and push boundaries should be reminded to respect your personal space. It is important that they understand that prying into your personal life is not acceptable — the same sentiment applies to how you treat others as well.

 Virgo

If you're considering taking on a new project at work, it's important to fully understand the requirements before committing your time and energy. This will help you avoid investing in projects that don't align with your interests and allow you to pursue opportunities that are more meaningful to you.

Libra

Before speaking, it's important to consider how your words might affect others. You shouldn't push people to their limits and expect no consequences. If you believe in fairness and kindness, then you should also practice those values towards others. Communicate gentler to get your points across.

Scorpio

Your energy is soaring, giving you a boost in power and passion. But before you attempt to exert control over situations or other people, channel that energy towards positive endeavors that improve your life. Remember, positivity begins with you and your willingness to embrace it. Stay mindful and open to the good that surrounds you.

Sagittarius

You may feel as though relationships are intense. Instead of wanting to dominate others, give them the chance to be free and explore life. The less you pressure them, the easier it will be for them to find their way home to you. No one knows more about autonomy and this sentiment than you do, Sagittarius.

Capricorn

Changing your daily routine may feel difficult, especially if you're someone who tends to stick to their habits. However, trying something new every once in a while can give you the excitement and motivation to explore new activities and ventures. This can help you bring fresh energy into your everyday rituals.

Aquarius

Pursuing a creative project that has been postponed can reignite your passion for it. Be open to the suggestions of others as they may provide valuable insights. Use the advice that resonates with you and incorporate it into your work. Accept the support and guidance they are offering to you.

Pisces

Connecting with your ancestors during this full moon can be a meaningful experience that enriches your spirit. By exploring your family history and learning about your ancestors, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world. This can lead to greater emotional depth and a stronger connection to your roots.
