WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 6/24-6/30/2020

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

We kick off the week with amazing news! Venus is turning direct on June 25th in Gemini. But, don’t get too excited. The Retroshade journey ends on July 29th, when Venus moves out of the degrees it traveled down during its cosmic moonwalk. Mars, who’s in Pisces, squaring off with the Nodes of Destiny on June 26th. This cosmic connection will force us to take immediate action around matters and situations. Mars enters Aries on June 27th, initiating dreams and projects that have been on the back burner for the past few months. The following day, Mars and Saturn, who’s retrograde in Aquarius, link up together, allowing us to use practicality in achieving our goals. The Sun and Mercury retrograde sync up in Cancer, making the 30th the best day of the month to gain clarity on matters. Uranus adds a twist to the information we hear on the 30th — be prepared to hear the unexpected version of the truth. Jupiter and Pluto, who are both retrograde in Capricorn, come together for the second time (the first connection was April 4th and the third time will be November 12th), will give us the chance to assert our personal visions in the world with no apologies. Meaning, it’s our time to take charge and move ahead with our dreams. 

Aries 

You may feel as though you’re not being seen for the amazing ram that you are. These issues stem from your inability to express your sentiments without losing your cool. Instead of jumping head first into an argument, choose your words wisely in a way that truly defines your feelings. 

Taurus 

Now is not the time to focus on what makes other people happy. It’s a moment that will force you to wake up and revel in your own bliss. Move towards the path that brings you pleasure, no matter what others say. Remember to put your needs first this time. 

Gemini 

You may feel as though no one is hearing what you’re saying, even though you are trying to be direct and screaming your heart out. Don’t cower and run away in the face of adversity, just try another approach to ensure your voice is heard and that your opinion counts. 

Cancer 

You’ve decided to skip out on the frustrations and annoyances that are coming your way before they arrive. You can see the drama happening before it’s actually happened, which will make you side crawl to the other side of the street in an effort to step away from such annoyances. 

Leo 

Shifts are happening in your friendships, due to the fact that you’re not being seen for your strengths and criticized for your weaknesses. Talk things out with your friends before resentments remain within. Make sure they understand that you’re doing the best you can which is better than doing nothing. 

Virgo 

No matter how far you get ahead in the game, you feel as though you’re always one step back to where you began. Before you get down on yourself, try to be proactive in how you can change the course in an effort to avoid such setbacks from happening again. 

Libra 

Now that you’ve gained clarity on all matters that have been weighing greatly on you, the question is what will you do with this infinite knowledge? Don’t remain in the same place or go backwards. Find the best course of action that works for you, in an effort to evolve. 

Scorpio 

Looks like someone is getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar this week. Instead of denying and gaslighting, own your part in an awkward situation to avoid drama and to create an honest discourse with others. Regaining and freely giving trust is hard, but doable if you try. 

Sagittarius 

A truth teller by nature, secrets can tear you up inside. You’ve made up your mind about your professional future, but don’t want to share the news until it’s come to fruition. Be open with your friends about your career goals, even if you don’t want to jinx the situation. 

Capricorn 

Now that you’ve had time to decide about the direction you want to move towards, you’re realizing that you aren’t  ready to make any moves. Before moving ahead with projects and relationships, use this week to reflect in an effort to see if this is the right decision for you. 

Aquarius 

Yes, your needs are important. But, not at the cost of others. You may not notice that you’ve become a little too self-serving recently, which is pushing away those who care about you. Try to find a balance that works in an effort to be less selfish and more generous. 

Pisces

Believing in yourself is the hardest thing to do. However, you can achieve certainty and confidence within yourself if you change your approach to matters. Once you transform your approach to situations and feel about them, then you’ll be able to evolve into the self-assured person you are deep inside. 

Manifesting With The Gemini New Moon

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

It’s been a long and intense few weeks. Now, we are at a pivotal point of the madness, where we can truly embrace ourselves and let our freak flags fly high. For the past few months, we have literally been locked in cages (understandably, due to the current state of the world). While it’s been fun catching up with old friends and making new acquaintances we are longing for human interaction. This luminary acts as a kind of divine intervention to us all. While we cannot “touch” others. We can certainly have fun with sex magic and connecting with others virtually. 

Mars and Saturn retrograde are the planetary key figures. They are urging us to make action around implementing our desires. The caveat is that we may have trouble finding the vision we wish to embrace, as the planetary ruler of the New Moon in Gemini is Mercury. During the day, Venus retrograde and Neptune will aspect the Moon creating confusion around our hopes and dreams. The good news is that this lineup will help us embrace our fantasy life which will serve to intoxicate our minds and act as a catalyst for emotional, mental, and sexual release. We can be who we want to be to ourselves and others without judgement. Our desires and passions will be ignited, calling for us to use sex magic to manifest our dreams. 

The Sabian symbol for this luminary is “The Garden Of The Tuileries In Paris.” This means that the New Moon will serve as our sexual spring awakening, as all of our flowers are now in bloom. 

The fixed star Alcyone aligns with the New Moon, heightening our sexual cravings and yearnings. 

*The New Moon occurs on May 22 at 10:38AM PST and 1:38PM EST. 

Ritual

-Meditate on your intention. Think of your ultimate fantasies — this can include who you want to be or what dreams you want to accomplish.

-Write it down on a piece of paper.

-Cross out all of the vowels to create your personal sigil.

-Run a hot bath with Epsom salt, Himalyan sea salt, or Kosher table salt. 

-Soak in the warm bath. 

-As you begin to pleasure yourself, concentrate on words of the sigil.

-Think about your intention as you begin to orgasm to ensure it happens in reality. 

-Release, restore, and rejuvenate.  

The Super Full Worm Moon in Virgo

Written by Lisa Stardust 

The Supermoon in Virgo occurs on March 9th. During this luminary, the Moon will be brighter, fuller, and more potent due to the closeness to Earth. On an energetic level, we can feel its intense power and pull on our emotions. Being that the Super Full Moon is in Virgo, we will feel the disconnect between our head and our hearts. The incentive of this cosmic occurrence is to bring these two parts of ourselves together — if we can let go of the past and start fresh. 

This luminary will directly oppose Neptune, who’s in Pisces, which means we can expect to feel our emotions on a soulful level. The truth may be ever cloudy and uncertain. During this time, it’s important for us to lean into our intuition and our gut impulses. We’ll find the truth of the matter from listening to our hearts and analyzing the information that the universe is telling us with a fine comb. It’s an amazing time to face fears head on and discuss them. Also, an opportune day to pay attention to our dreams and spiritual symbols we are receiving. Jupiter, Mars, and Pluto (who are all currently in Capricorn) give this luminary a chance to move forward; however, Neptune may make us feel stuck and unsure of our next moves. 

Mercury turns direct later in the day, ending its retrograde journey that began February 16th. For the past several weeks, we weren’t  able to make decisions. Now, we are being cosmically pushed to make choices in our lives, which will bring anxiety as we are unable to cut the cord on situations and relationships that need to end. Reminder, we don’t have to rush into resolving matters under this luminary. We can take our time. We have until Mercury leaves its post retrograde degrees on March 29th to let go. 

Right now, the Moon is shedding light on that which needs to transform or leave our lives. Our hearts may be heavy, but deep down we know what we will eventually have to do. Whatever path we wish to choose, it will be the best road for us. Over time, we’ll come to see that it’s for the best. No regrets. 

*The Super Full Worm Moon occurs at 10:47AM PST and 1:47PM EST. 

Ritual for the Super Full Worm Moon:

• Calming Bath for Emotional and Mental Clarity 

Ingredients:

-1 cup of Himalayan sea salt or Epsom salt -6 drops of lavender oil or a ½ cup of fresh lavender

-6 drops of peppermint oil or 6 sprigs of fresh peppermint 

-One part Florida Water 

-Rose Quartz and Clear Quartz (you can charge your crystals under the Moon, but it’s not necessary)

-Moon Water (water charged under the Moon) is optional 

Directions:

-Blend all of the ingredients together.

Rub on your scalp, third eye chakra, and heart chakra while in the shower or bath.

-Place the Rose Quartz Crystal on your heart chakra and the Clear Quartz Crystal on your third eye chakra. 

-Relax your thoughts and feel your body align. 

-Meditate on connecting the mind, heart, and intuition together for 25 minutes. 

-Rinse off with water.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 3 /4 - 3 /10/ 2020

Written By: Lisa Stardust 

WITCH TIPS

This week brings necessary changes, beginnings, and endings our way — all of which will better our spirit and hearts. We kick off the week with Mercury, who’s retrograde, reentering Aquarius on March 4th. Mercury’s moonwalk will take us back to the story that was unravelling in our personal lives in the beginning of February. We will have the chance to revisit those events and change the outcome of them. Mercury and Venus softly connect, while Venus is in the last degree of Aries, giving us a tender push to assert our romantic feelings towards others. Venus enters Taurus on March 4th, allowing us all to embrace our flirty, sensual, and creative sides. The Sun and Neptune link up in the sign of dreamy Pisces on the 8th, adding sentimentality and confusion to our thoughts. Later in the day, on March 8th, Venus and Uranus align in the sign of Taurus, making us all see romantic and financial matters from a different perspective. March 9th brings the Super Worm Full Moon in Virgo, which will bring truths to the surface. Mercury ends its retrograde journey the same day (but, will be roaming through the Retroshade zone until March 29th). Lastly, Venus and the Nodes of Destiny make a fated connection on the 9th, bringing us fresh opportunities and possibilities — even new relationships. 

Aries 

March 21 - April 19

It’s time you take note that life is one big juggling act. While it may be hard to keep up with the daily occurrences in all areas of your life, it’s important that you are able to keep such endeavors in constant flow. You need to learn how to manage and prioritize your time more effectively. This will help you find solace throughout the week and not get overwhelmed if unforeseen issues come your way. 

Taurus 

April 20 - May 20

Giving back to the local community is a sentiment that has been on your mind for quite some time. Finally, you have found a cause that’s close to your heart that you’ll want to advocate for. Call your coven for assistance to spread the word to others. With your help (and the assistance of your coven) you’ll change the world by giving attention to those in need and to charitable organizations that need your aid. 

Gemini 

May 21 - June 20

Use your chameleon-like energy to transform yourself into the person of your dreams this week. With a little cosmic help (under the Full Moon), you’ll be able to shed the past and let go of outdated thoughts you’ve had regarding who you “should” be. You can create the path you desire on your terms. This will allow you to take back your power and create the life you crave on your terms with no apologies. 

Cancer 

June 21 - July 22

Letting your guard down isn’t a bad thing. It’s ok to be emotionally vulnerable with others every now again. Contrary to what you may think, it doesn’t make you a pushover. Being open with others and sharing your feelings is a strong sentiment. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it’s proof that your tough shell is softening up and allowing you to express yourself freely without the fear of being judged by others. 

Leo 

July 23 - August 22

You’re learning that it’s important to admit and apologize when you’re wrong (which is a big emotional step for you). Or, at least take responsibility for part of the drama that’s occurred in your relationships. This week will allow you to kiss and make up with members of your inner circle. You’ll be able to move forward with others, as long as you own your part in the situation and offer them a sincere apology. 

Virgo 

August 23 - September 22

You’ve been trying to make all of your relationships work (including your intimate one-on-one partnerships) for the past few weeks by giving all of your energy to them. The issue you are now facing is that you’re emotionally exhausted from working hard for affection and attention from others. All of which is why it’s essential for you to set boundaries and decide if you want to proceed with these relationships (if so, in what direction). 

Libra 

September 23 - October 22

Lately, you’ve been projecting a lot of your issues onto others. This tactic is allowing you to shift the blame and place it upon someone else. Deciphering between your insecurities and theirs will be hard, as it’s challenging to recognize and take ownership of one’s flaws. Bringing conscious awareness to this issue within will help you to evolve. Also, releasing anger and frustrations in a healthy way (like yoga and meditation) is key for you. 

Scorpio 

October 23 - November 21

Your romantic past has come back to haunt you, causing you to reflect on your personal views. Reflecting on what could’ve, would’ve, should’ve been will have a deep effect on you, as you’re going to change how you proceed with your current relationships. Learning from the past will help you to open your heart to real love. All of the heartbreaks and wins you’ve endured will allow you to create the partnership you truly desire. 

Sagittarius 

November 22 - December 21

You’re quite the busy bee this week! Many of your professional endeavors are finally coming together, firing up your creative and intellectual passions. Not only that, but your finances are beginning to finally come together. Words of advice: Strike while the iron is hot. Try to use this week’s energy as a jumping board to pitch new projects for the future, so your bank account is always lush and your professional calendar is always full. 

Capricorn 

December 22 - January 19

No one knows more than you how much the truth can hurt. While you may find honesty to be essential, you may find that you’re being gaslighted by your coworkers and boss. They aren’t being completely upfront with you regarding projects you are interested in pursuing. Don’t fret! The professional matter will change and reverse itself by the end of the week. You’ll get the promotion, project, and a raise. In the meantime, chill out. 

Aquarius 

January 20 - February 18

Communication will be strained this week, as a result of Mercury moonwalking on your Sun. Instead of running away and avoiding the frenetic energy, try to embrace it. Connect with old friends and make amends with those you’ve had conflict with in the past. Revisit former creative projects or hobbies. As long as you work with the energy and not against it, you’ll fly high. You can carry lapis lazuli with you, if you’re worried. 

Pisces 

February 19 - March 20

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Then, it’s time for you to take an emotional and mental break from your daily stresses. You may 

hibernate at home by taking relaxing baths to detox and unwind. Or, even reading a book. One thing is certain — you need time off and away from others to focus on you. Escaping every now and again with the intention of self-care is essential and necessary to mend the spirit.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 2/26/~3/3/2020

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

Mercury, who’s retrograde in Pisces, gently connects with Mars, who’s in Capricorn, on the 26th. Later in the day, Mercury links you with the Nodes of Destiny. These soft cosmic collisions occurring on the 26th will serve to help us understand our former and current dreams in a big way. This sentiment will be further felt on the 28th, when Mercury retrograde and Uranus, who’s in Taurus, align in the cosmos. Venus, who’s in Aries, squares off with Pluto, who’s in Capricorn, on the 28th. This fraught Venusian energy has a restrictive aspect with Saturn, who’s in Capricorn, on March 3rd. Venus and Pluto will bring drama our way in terms of triangular situations with paramours, friendships, money, and familial relationships — which may force us to act out. Saturn comes in a few days later and puts a stop to these situations and issues. The overall cosmic lesson we’ll learn this week is that our old tricks don’t hold power anymore. As a result, we’ll have a different relationship with the past and a better understanding of where we are headed (especially under the First Quarter Moon in Gemini on March 2nd) — only if we are open to growth and change. 

Aries 

March 21 - April 19

You may be experiencing professional power plays with those you work with and are in your inner circle. While this may initially make you want to run away from your professional obligations for a bit, you’ll find that it’s best for you to confront those who aim to tear you down. Standing your ground and making your sentiments known will help control and end the situation, as no one will want to cross you again. 

Taurus 

April 20 - May 20

Acknowledging lessons from the past will allow you to never make the same mistakes again. While this may cause you to guard your heart with lock and key, you’ll be able to make informed decisions about the present and future. Remember to always put yourself first. You’re a strong and powerful person who can not only dream big, but also manifest your desires. Use your tenacity to create the friendships you want in your life. 

Gemini 

May 21 - June 20

It may be challenging for you to implement boundaries with others, especially since you’re the one who can’t stay in their lane. Creating limits for yourself will be extremely hard, considering that you like to be overly involved in other people’s lives. Take a step back this week and don’t participate in drama that has nothing to do with you. You’ll be grateful that you didn’t get involved, as it’s not your battle to fight. 

Cancer 

June 21 - July 22

Opening up to new possibilities is a challenge for everyone — even you. But, this week you’re allowing yourself to redefine yourself in a philosophical way. Meaning, you’re allowing yourself to understand different ideas and ways of thinking. Also, the minds of others. You’re stepping out of your comfort zone and seeing matters clearly. Be mindful and understand that the truth you uncover has multi-dimensions to it and you are only beginning to unravel it. 

Leo

July 23 - August 22

The majority of your energy is greatly spent on what others are feeling and doing at the moment. If you took some of that power back and used it on fixing your personal situations, you’d be able to achieve all of your goals. Instead of worrying about others, bring the energy you give to others to yourself this week. You will find that you’re able to successfully move forward in all avenues as a result.

Virgo 

August 23 - September 22

Triangular situations may come to a head this week, particularly in the realm of romantic liaisons. To be fair, you’re not looking to start up two relationships at the same time or connect with a former lover (it may be on your accord or your partner’s). Although there may be unfinished emotional business to attend to, you don’t have to participate in the love triangle. Three is a crowd. Focus on your needs and desires. 

Libra

September 23 - October 22

More often than not, you take your time weighing both sides of a situation before taking action. This week, you may feel forced to make decisions quickly without thinking the matters thoroughly through (which is the mode you prefer). Although your colleagues, family, and friends may be pushing you to speed up your thought process — don’t! You need to make informed choices before signing off on projects or contracts that could impact you negatively.

Scorpio 

October 23 - November 21

You have been feeling as though others are overlooking your skills and not paying attention to you (or giving you as much love as you’d like). Ego hits, big or small, are brushing your confidence at the moment. However, by week’s end, you’ll see the light of the matter, wholeheartedly will make you reassess the relationship you have with yourself. Your confidence will sprout and bloom with positive and healthy feelings you have for yourself. 

Sagittarius 

November 22 - December 21

It’s important that you take stock of your personal beliefs this week, as you may find they are in flux. Your ideals are changing, allowing you to see certain circumstances and people with rose colored glasses. You’re making amends with frustrating situations and giving those who’ve hurt you the chance to explain themselves. Forgiveness is different than forgetting. You can accept an apology, but it’s against your nature to forget. Keep this sentiment in mind. 

Capricorn 

December 22 - January 19

The good news is that you’re feeling stronger than you have in a very long time. The bad news is that you’re lost in emotion and unsure of your next move. Instead of hiding from the world and your responsibilities, allow things to remain up in the air. This indecisive plan of action is totally out of character for you. However, it will allow you to be certain of your choices when you make them.

Aquarius 

January 20 - February 18

You don’t have to be financially successful to feel good about yourself. In fact, this week will help you to understand that materialism and your relationship to earthly possessions don’t define you. The connection you have to your spirituality and magic are the essence of who you are at the core. Money and riches will not effect your bohemian vibe. The relationship you have with yourself and nature will prove to be all that matters.

Pisces 

February 19 - March 20

A poet by nature, this week gives you the chance to put your sweet voice to use by expressing your inner views to others. Although it may be hard to discuss your emotions, you’ll be cosmically pushed to speak about the past to others. If you add a charming and sentimental flair to your word choice, your friends and family will listen. In fact, they will agree with your finely crafted points and emotions too.
