Witchtips

This week will enable us all to reach for the stars and achieve our goals. Venus, who’s in passionate Scorpio, links up with the Nodes of Destiny on the 17th, pushing us to connect to our desires. On the 19th, Mercury, who’s also in Scorpio, gently connects with transformative Pluto, who’s in Capricorn. Sparks will fly as we express our deepest sentiments. The following day, Venus and authoritative Saturn, who’s in Capricorn, sets boundaries within relationships and limits in financial matters on the 20th. The 21st brings our dreams front and center, when Venus and Neptune, who’s retrograde in Pisces, meet in the cosmos. We will have the opportunity to manifest our visions later in the day, due to Mars, who’s in Libra, and in an action oriented aspect with the Nodes of Destiny. Make a wish under the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer and Orionids Meteor Shower on the 21st—who knows it may come true! 




Aries 

March 21 - April 19


Standing your ground this week will help you see matters and people clearly. For some time now, you’ve been swinging from emotion to emotion, at the speed of a roller coaster. You’re able to understand the motives and manipulations of others with 20/20 vision. Just be careful how you choose to use the information you find out. Don’t exploit it for personal gain; use it for clarity and wisdom. After all, Aries, you’re nobody’s fool. 



Taurus 

April 20 - May 20


Games are fun, but only meant for playtime. While you’re not the one who’s causing the drama, you are the recipient of immensely intense emotions. Think before you react to exaggerations around facts. You’ll be able to see through people and get to the heart of the matter by trusting your gut. Use your intuition to guide you through confusion. Awaken your third eye chakra this week to see through the fog and clandestine activities. 



Gemini 

May 21 - June 20


Even though you’re known for your chattiness, you often don’t assert your opinions. This week, you’re speaking up and letting others in your social sphere know how you feel about them. Expressing the good, the bad, and the ugly about people (and how they treat you) may temporarily make you feel better—the effects will be short lived. Light a yellow candle to clear the energy before addressing your qualms with others to ensure a swift resolve. 



Cancer 

June 21 - July 22


It’s a long way to the top, but you’re dedicated to getting there. While others may feel like walking away from conflict or challenge, you’re welcoming it. Allow yourself the chance to try out new opportunities. You may even surprise yourself with your radical and innovative ideas. You have the ingenuity and idealism to achieve your dreams, as long as you set a clear intention. The world is your oyster and the possibilities are endless. 



Leo

July 23 - August 22


Your creativity is on point, but you are finding it hard to make money off of your artistic visions. Rather than giving up on your dreams, find a way to show your art to the world. Let others relish in your talents and skills. You’ll be able to take your knack for beauty and power will speak to the masses. Let your voice be heard and seen. Believe in yourself and others will follow. 



Virgo

August 23 - September 22


You’re often one to think matters through, but this week you’re feeling a tad more rambunctious and impulsive than usual. You’re tired of sitting by the sidelines and want to take action in making your dreams become reality. You’ll be successful in all of your endeavors, as long as you don’t become overzealous. Think matters through carefully and plan your execution with diligence. Don’t rush the creative process and tackle one day at a time.



Libra 

September 23 - October 22


Speaking from the heart is never easy, especially when you have a lot at risk. You may be inclined to let a certain person know how special you think they are (or vice versa). As long as you are honest with your words and use kindness in expressing your sentiments, you will be able to achieve the outcome you desire. Let your emotions guide you toward elevating your personal relationships. You’ll be grateful you did.



Scorpio 

October 23 - November 21


Romance is budding in the autumnal air this week. But, it’s important you keep your boundaries in check before overstepping limits in relationships. You’ll be consumed with your new paramour and you won’t be aware that they are controlling all your actions. Take a breather from flirting in the deep end of the ocean. Focus your energies on yourself, rather than your potential mate. You’ll feel stronger and more confident, having put your needs first. 



Sagittarius 

November 22 - December 21


Gaining confidence and assurance has proven to be a long journey. This week, you’re feeling as though you are unworthy of love from others and yourself. The reason being, is that you need to revamp the relationship you have with yourself. Saying positive affirmations to yourself every day, while looking in the mirror, will aid in opening your heart to others. You won't be able to love anyone else until you learn to love yourself. 



Capricorn 

December 22 - January 19


After an intense week of uncertainty, you’re ready to center yourself from the turmoil. Creating space and time for your professional and personal life will allow you to find much needed balance. Allotting time and energy for work projects will help you plan out your daily vibe. You’ll also be able to find calmness in your chaotic schedule. Implement boundaries between both worlds this week to find inner peace—and even boost relationships with others.



Aquarius 

January 20 - February 18


Don’t let fear hold you back from achieving your goals. You are a star and it’s time you let your glimmer shine bright. Your anxieties are stopping you from going for the gold and attaining success. Your repressed insecurities are causing frustrations to form within. Visualizing your desires with optimistic thoughts will help attain your dreams swiftly. Remember, the law of attraction will bring things to you that you want, if you change your attitude. 



Pisces 

February 19 - March 20


It’s time to get your ducks in a row and organize your relationships. This will require you to make a list of those who you feel aren't serving your highest interests and those who are. You’ll notice that you are receiving more love than you thought and your insecurities are false. Step out of your normal instinctual mindset and your analytical mind to guide you this week. Practicality will be good for your tender heart.
