WITCH TIPS

The week kicks off with an exciting connection from Mercury and Uranus, who link up in Taurus on April 30th, during the Last Quarter Moon in Leo. It’s important for us to take note of what happens and what information is brought on the 30th sentiment will take on a sparkier vibe on May 4th, when the Sun and Mercury align. May 3rd brings ambiguity and lust our way, when Venus, who’s in Gemini, squares off with Neptune, who’s in Pisces. The Nodes of Destiny enter the Gemini and Sagittarius axis, starting a new 1.5 year karmic journey around intelligence and philosophy. The cosmos are changing at rampant speed, which is why it may be hard to keep up with all of the information thrown our way this week. Through the power of community, we can navigate through such challenges together.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Your confidence is at a high, which may make you push for a deeper connection with others. Words of advice: Take time getting to know others before you move towards a partnership or allowing your emotions to become super intense. Don’t push for a relationship with those you are beginning to know too soon. You may decide that you don’t have a lot in common with them or that you aren’t feeling them in reality.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Known to wear your heart on your sleeve, this week you’re starting to become more self-protective than you have in the past. The reason being is that the past has come back in the most unexpected way. Hearing from old flames is awakening past upsets. It may be hard to accept the present circumstances of former relationships and the way they ended all those years ago. Don’t dwell on the past. Let go and grow.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

It’s time to be as direct as you can with others. Even if your assertiveness ruffles some feathers, it’s important for you to speak your mind at all costs. Lately, you are not able to find the right words to say, or aren’t fully expressing yourself clearly with words. Writing out your feelings before discussing them will help communicate your views properly and clearly. In the end, you’ll be applauded for your openness and candor.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

Your popularity is at a high this week, which is why it’s essential to step up protective magic. A protective spell to safeguard your energy will be necessary. With all eyes focusing on, you’ll need to ensure your personal safety and security from others who are jealous of your success. Sprinkle salt around your home and at your door to shield your home. Place black obsidian by your doorway or on a table to block out negativity.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Always the life of the party, there’s never a dull or lonely moment in your life. These days you may be feeling as though your friends are abandoning you, as their silence is making you feel lonely. They aren’t ignoring you purposefully. Your friends are caught up in their own lives and haven’t forgotten about you. If you’re feeling alone and sentimental, reach out to them. You can change the dynamic and improve the situation.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

Relationships are extremely confusing this week, mostly due to a lack of boundaries in partnerships. A simple way to overcome the inevitable stress of not having limits with others is to be consistent with others (even if it’s hard). This means not giving in to manipulation. Allow yourself the chance to recognize your feelings in order to understand how people’s actions can affect your emotions and reactions. Do not compromise your feelings. Trust your judgement.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

You may feel as though your communication with others is a tad off. People aren’t hearing you clearly and you’re not using the right words to express how you feel. Instead of starting drama or getting into arguments with others, allow yourself to take a step back in order to find a clearer way to articulate your sentiments. This will serve as a beneficial tool to not only your relationships, but to yourself as well.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

More often than not, it’s easier to put a bandaid on situations and issues that cause us pain. Although this is a temporary fix, it allows us to move on with our lives (regardless of the hurt we feel). This week, the bandages are falling off. Old wounds are resurfacing. As long as you are willing to do the work needed to work through past scars, you’ll feel as though you are reborn and healed.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

If you’re feeling adrift at sea this week, you’re not alone. First, that we’re all going through a similar vagueness and ambiguity about the future. Secondly, understand that your pride or ego shouldn’t stand in the way of asking for help from others. We are all going through tough emotional times. You are not alone. Reach out and connect to friends or family if you need a hand up in feeling better about your circumstances.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

Calling all poets, astrologers, tarot readers, witches, reiki healers, artists, or anyone who uses their creativity and heart to help others heal. The world needs you now. Stand together with your fellow energy healers and give light to those who can use some love or positivity. It’s your duty, as the hardworking and sensitive sea-goat you are, to give back to the universe during these hard times by offering wisdom and insights to the world.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Your mind often leads you to think outside the box. You are beginning to notice that all of your unique thinking has prepared you for the creative journey and transformation you are undergoing this week. Rather than aligning your views with the status quo, your visionary self is pushing you to rebel against the norm and express your sentiments for the collective through art. Let your canvas and paintbrush guide you towards asserting your ideology.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

Being accountable for your actions and holding people accountable is hard, especially when you aren’t the one who’s at fault. In order to keep those (or even yourself) who are having issues with being responsible or answerable for their actions, you may have to keep a list of all their promises (and vice versa). This will allow you to never get disappointed by their forgetfulness or keep the desired results in place within the relationship.
