WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 3/14-20/2018
WRITTEN BY JESSICA LANYADOO

Get ready for the feels! Itβs Springtime, and on the 20th we move into Aries Season. Itβs time for fresh starts, new connections, and longer days. This shift in season means itβs time for letting in the light; remember to look up, and to seek the evidence of new life thatβs all around you.
On the 17th we have a New Moon in sensi Pisces at 6.12amPST. New Moons happen at the moment when the Sun (your identity) and the Moon (your emotions) are at the exact same degree, and this time of internal unity is powerful for beginnings. If you find yourself agitated or unhappy now, itβs likely to be wholeheartedly so; as hard as that might be, itβs useful information, so pay attention. A New Moon in Pisces can increase your empathy, make you feel more idealistic, or incline you to disassociate. This one is happening with an activating square from Mars. This may have you feeling on edge, so be aware of your defenses to make sure that they donβt get the better of you. This marks a time when you will need to fight for what you love and to do so with empathy. When you fight out of hate, you end up demonizing others. Find the humanity in the people youβre dealing with so that even if you have to draw a hard line, you don't do it ways that bleed your own humanity. If you feel offended, excluded, or hurt, itβs tempting to pick fights, get down on yourself, or to reject the person that upset you β throwing out the baby with the bathwater style.
Remember that everyone is going through it right now; we all have our own perspectives and experiences, and we are all allowed to be imperfect. Before you drop your judgments at someoneβs feet, ask yourself if itβs best to stand up, or if itβs healthier to walk away. You donβt have to prove yourself to anyone but you. Let your actions speak for themselves, lovers. Just because youβre offended, doesnβt mean youβre right. Just because youβre right, doesnβt mean that you have to assert your truth. Just because you speak your mind, doesnβt mean that everyone has to listen. If youβre going to act, do it because it reflects your ideals and convictions; do it because itβs right for you, and not because youβre attached to any particular outcome.
Make space for disagreements and differences, and choose your battles with care. Be a part of conversations that matter to you, but donβt forget who your real enemies and allies are.

ARIES
March 21-April 19
Get calm before you get going this week. No matter how wonderful the things coming at you are, you need to first get right with yourself, Aries. Fear and intuition are not the same. The voice of your most reliable instincts are not emotional; they come from a neutral place of inner knowing. When you feel yourself caught up in anxieties, youβre not the best equipped to understand or mobilize on the things that matter to you. Prioritize self-understanding over action for best results.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Youβve gone as far as you can go, Taurus, and if you persist in staying in this lane, youβre likely to feel pretty awful. Itβs not that what youβre doing is βbadβ or βwrongβ, but itβs time for change, and itβs been time for a while now. The New Moon on the 17th is a fantastic opportunity for you to seek the truth of what you desire. Donβt get caught up in the βhow will I do it?β part just yet; find your truth, and let the rest unfold organically from there this week.
GEMINI
May 21-June 21
Itβs not magic; when you take steps towards your goals, you just feel better, Twin Star. This week is an excellent time to try new things but especially to follow-through on aspirations youβve long held. Yearning and hope are desire plus inspiration, just without the results yet. Donβt skip steps or attempt to start in the middle, but act as though you know youβre going to get where you want to go. Breathe through your fears, and fake it till you make it this week, my love.
CANCER
June 22-July 22
Donβt let others define your worth β only you can do that. Itβs important that you take stock of where youβre giving away power and authority over your sense of self, Moonchild. If youβre not open to hearing the truth no matter what it is, donβt ask; if you donβt trust a person, donβt make yourself vulnerable to them. You may not have control over much, but you can influence where you allow your attention to linger. Find your value from your own perspective, my love.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
Let your people hold you up, Leo. You donβt need to go it alone, and itβs even okay to ask for love and support when things are going wonderfully. This week is all about the exchange of love. How you allow yourself to be cared for, how you care for others, and who you choose to give your best self to are all excellent topics for you to meditate on. You have so much to give, but you must use your best discernment. In a world full of possibility, what do you choose, Leo?
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This week will give you plenty of chances to grow, but in order to take them, youβre going to have to be brave. Donβt look outside of yourself for markers of your success, Virgo. How you feel about what youβre doing and the impact itβs making is the ultimate definition of your achievements. If you are βsucceedingβ but donβt like the way it feels, something is seriously off. Pay attention to your true feels so you can make supportive adjustments this week.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Itβs time to figure out whatβs most important to you, Libra. If you donβt have a clear process of evaluating your options, youβre likely to be feeling like youβre drowning in some pretty shallow waters this week. Donβt place other peopleβs wisdom above your own; everyoneβs got an opinion, but only you have to live with the consequences of your actions. Remember what you most deeply care about, and align your actions with those things, my love.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Instead of struggling against adversity, itβs time to take pause, Scorpio. If you go into a fight being motivated by fear, youβre likely to say and do things that donβt fully reflect your position. Choose your battles wisely this week. You may not feel energetic, so remember that youβll get farther by feeding what you believe in than fighting what you donβt. Allow yourself to accept the support of your allies and feel the benefit of all that you have available to you, especially if youβre feeling down.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Other peopleβs perspectives are just that β their own. Donβt try to convince them that how you see things is correct or attempt to take on their views as your own, Sagittarius. Allow yourself to experience differences without placing value judgments on them, especially when itβs tempting to do otherwise this week. Your path is yours alone to take, so at the end of the day, youβve got to do whatβs right for you and let others do the same.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Youβre on the right path, but your anxieties are keeping you from enjoying it. Instead of seeking answers, attempt to sit with your questions. Instead of fixing problems, try to better understand them first. Try to accept with humor what life gives you instead of getting tangled in the weeds this week. Breathe through stresses, and try your best. Upsets and missteps are parts of a life well lived; donβt let yours keep you from showing up, Capricorn.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Own it, Aquarius! Youβve done some things recently that you arenβt completely comfortable with, and itβs throwing you off. Youβre human (for real!), and youβre allowed to make mistakes. Cut yourself some slack, not only for some much-deserved peace but also so that you can actually learn from your situation. Convert your troubles into inspiration by being willing to learn and grow when youβre most tempted to shut down, my love.
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
When you give too much attention to what you think others are feeling, you lose track of your own perspective. This is not only disempowering, but itβs disorienting. Try to keep your eyes on your own homework, Pisces. Donβt look for answers outside of yourself before you first look within. You may have to change your mind, change your affiliations, or sit with things a bit longer. In any case, youβre in need of balance, not solutions, this week.
