Pluto Return of the United States

The first ever Pluto Return of the United States occurs on February 22, 2022. This astrological phenomenon is one of the defining moments of the year and is set to transform the country, as well as the world we live in. Get ready for the historic event that will rock the country and change our lives. 

What is a Pluto Return?

This happens when the dwarf planet Pluto returns to the degree and sign it was during the occurrence of an event or birth. 

What are the characteristics of Pluto?

Known as a metamorphic dwarf planet, Pluto changes our lives — eventually for the better. The path towards growth is hard, due to resistance. This is why Pluto will keep you on your toes until you make the necessary edits and decisions to transform yourself. Think of the Tower card in the tarot. The more you wait to evolve, the more destructive push you’ll get from The Universe to do so. However, once things are torn apart, they are put back together in the manner they should be by Pluto. 

How often does it occur? 

A Pluto Return occurs every 248 years, which means it’s no small feat. The last time Pluto was at the same degree and sign (27 degrees of Capricorn to be exact) was during the signing of The Declaration of Independence in 1776. This is when the U.S. became it’s own country apart from Britain. 

Being that we, as humans, will never experience our Pluto Returns, we can experience this transit through events, such as the birth of nations and the recurring symbolism or themes of historic events. 

What will the Pluto Return of the United States bring? 

The United States is experiencing it’s Pluto Return on February 22, 2022 for the first time ever. The planetary return which happens every 248 years has brought down empires and changed rulerships. 

When Pluto first moved into Capricorn on November 27, 2008 there was a major shift in the cosmos that will last until January 21, 2024. Transformation was implemented in the way society handled business, money, and how we relate to authority. Being that Capricorn is a sign known for its ambition and Pluto is a dwarf planet known for change, this transit began to transcend matters on a great scale. 

Since the planetary shift in 2008, we have seen falls from power of those who’ve abused their status, the rise of #MeToo, and the Black Lives Matter movement has swept the globe. The dichotomy of who ran the country is shifting and the people who live in the U.S. want change. 

What can we expect? 

The foundation of the U.S. has many cracks in it, which is why we can expect to see it being rebuilt in a better way in which the people hold the power. The government has to be accountable and responsible for the wrong doings of its past — particularly the racist and misogynistic roots that the country was founded on. The time and reckoning has come for the country to make reparations and redefine the culture that its founders built. A restoration is necessary.

Also, the U.S. government will have to acknowledge that the world is evolving at rampant speed and make changes that are in alignment with the transformative pulse of the universe. One of these shifts will be seen through the advancement of cryptocurrency and labor laws. 

What lessons will we learn? 

The U.S. is a flawed country that was built on lies. Now is the time to make a change. This is the United State’s time to evolve !

EROTIC ASTROLOGY

Each zodiac sign has their own kinks, turn ons, and erotic language. Virgos practice sex as a ritual and Pisces like to splash around in water for fun. The innate nature of every sun sign dictates their pleasures, erogenous zones, and preferences. What does your sign say about you? 

Aries 

The ram is known to be a sexual daredevil and wiil go to any lengths to have their whims fulfilled in the moment they want it. Aries like to be in pursuit and can easily be consumed with situations or people that take effort, time, passion, and most importantly — winning.

Turn ons: Being that Aries rules the head, they’ll like hair pulling when in the moment or a head rub that tickles to ignite their sensual senses. 

Taurus 

Even though Taurus is a fixed zodiac sign and enjoys the rigidity of life, the furthest sentiment is true when it comes to the boudoir. Known for their indulgent and sensual nature, the Bull will try any position under the sun as long as it involves touch, tenderness, and kink.

Turn ons: Sex in a romantic, luxurious, and cozy setting that allows them to let their guard down and to be present in their bodies. 

Gemini 

Geminis are known to be super chatty, which means that they will find any sexual adventure that combines their mouth, tongue, and talkative nature together. Oral sex and dirty talk are known turn ons. Gemini can also get turned on from sensual stories being told about to them by others.

Turn ons: Edible underwear or glitter is a must, as well as a phone so they can call someone to become aroused by the conversation. 

Cancer 

Cancers have two secret spots that drive them wild to the touch: their stomachs and their nipples. If you give the zodiac sign Cancer a few butterfly kisses in either erogenous spot, they’ll feel as though they’re in an extreme errotic state that will bring them ecstasy and intense orgasms.

Turn ons: Nipple clamps, trust, and submissive partners (that have a tender nature and only let their inner freak out for them) are major turn ons.

Leo 

We all know that Leos love theatrics, which is why the lion will go all out in setting the stage and ambiance for their romantic encounters with luminous candles, red satin sheets, and fancy lace or silky underwear. This means splurging on whips, paddles, and handcuffs for their naughty partner.

Turn ons: This passionate sign rules the heart, which is why it doesn’t take much to turn them on except the energy and heat that radiates intensity with their partner. 

Virgo 

You’d never expect it, due to their pristine reputation, but Virgos have a kinky side. They will be the ones tying up their partner or masturbating before as a stress reliever everyday. Sex is like a ritual to this earth sign. And, it’s one that has to be done routinely. 

Turn ons: An orderly and clean space, which can be anywhere with anyone as long as there is a deep mental connection. 

Libra 

The buttocks are ruled by the sign Libra, which means that this air sign will enjoy receiving light or intense taps and squeezes on their backside. A good spanking is always fun for Libra, who will become aroused by the sound, touch, and feeling of having their sweet cheeks slapped.

Turn ons: Making their partner orgasm before them is a huge turn on. They like giving more than receiving. 

Scorpio 

Scorpio likes to bring mind games and power plays to the bedroom. They crave intimacy and deep connections, which penetrates into their sexual romps and transcends into their relationships. Sex is a cathartic and necessary experience for them, as healthy pleasure brings pain, an exploration of taboos, submission, and dominance.

Turn ons: Blindfolds, hot wax, and anything that that you can dream of that are on the obscure or risky side send Scorpio over the moon with delight.

Sagittarius 

Sagittarius don’t just dream about amazing sex, they indulge their fantasies in reality. This means acting out anything that pops into their minds, as the spontaneous nature of Sagittarius allows them to indulge in their fetishes and sexual romps that they engage in. Their adventurous sentiments will try anything once.

Turn ons: The lead up to sex, especially when it’s done in a clandestine matter — which is ironic because they’re down for any adventure or place.

Capricorn 

Being that the sea-goat works hard, they like to play hard too. Capricorn has an open mind and healthy approach to sex. They’ll be drawn to acts of role-playing with a partner, sex in a public place, and kinks that include fetishes that they’ll send their erragenous zones to tingles. 

Turn ons: Tickles with feathers behind the knees or having their legs kissed seductively are major turn ons for Capricorn. 

Aquarius 

Watching others partake in sex, orgies or group sex, and voyeurism make Aquarius hot. The water-bearer even likes creating videos of themselves coming to orgasm and sharing or receiving them to turn the heat on in the bedroom. Whether it’s undressing or masterbation, Aquarius enjoys watching most private sexual endeavors.

Turn ons: Being the one who gets to record their partner undressing, showering, or pleasuring themselves. The same applies to them. 

Pisces 

Water play is a must for Pisces, who finds this act super liberating. Being that Pisces is in their element, it’ll serve as a lubricant for their bodies and genitals. Not only that, but it gives them the buoyancy (due to floatation) to try out different positions in the water.

Turn ons: Being submissive to a partner who wants to possess them in the moment and switching it up to be the dominant one after.

AQUARIUS NEW MOON

The New Moon in Aquarius is a transformative time that will have a lasting impact on our lives. Instead of allowing ourselves to be stuck in the same old situations, it’s urging us to make meaningful changes that help us move towards our innermost dreams, visions, and state of being.

This lunation Is activating the Saturn and Uranus square, which was one of the major astrological transit of 2021. February 17, June 14, and December 24, 2021 were the three days that the transit was exact last year. Therefore, we should look at the stories that unfolded at those times to see how we can navigate through this Dark Moon. 

Uranus, who’s the planet of rebellion and freedom and is currently orbiting the sign Taurus, shared an exact square with the Aquarius Sun on January 30, urging us to be the truest and most authentic versions of ourselves. When the Moon squares Uranus during the New Moon, it’s time to make an emotional break, which includes speaking one’s mind, owning your feelings, and not being afraid to be who we are on the inside. 

Rather than letting fear and judgements hold us back, we are opting to evolve past that and transcend. We haven’t allowed ourselves to speak up for a long time. Now is the time to let it all out without hesitation. 

The New Moon occurs on January 31 at 9:45 PM PT and February 1 at 12:45 AM ET. 

WHAT TO MANIFEST DURING THE NEW MOON

• Look in a mirror and embrace your shadow self by stating all of the attributes that you keep hidden. Repeat them while looking at yourself. Allow yourself to understand that these are parts of you that you need to give love and light to. Although we do not want them to be known to others, they are a part of us. Self-love requires that we own and care for these sentiments that are deep within ourselves, which is why this exercise is meant to give us a better understanding and TLC to these sentiments. 

• Connect with your inner child by revisiting situations and times that upset you in your youth. Journal your feelings. Allow yourself to understand the emotions that were being felt and begin to forgive yourself. Also, love the person you were and who you became. 

• Cleanse your space with lavender and a white candle with your door or window open. Release the old energy and invite new energy into your home. Set intentions while you’re doing this to invite good energy in.

HAPPY NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The first New Moon of 2022 occurs on January 2 in the earth sign Capricorn. This lunation harmonizes with the planet Uranus, who’s currently retrograde in Taurus. The planetary connection will create an exuberance of energy, allowing us to be one step ahead of others. Also, giving us the inspiration and motivation to embrace fresh thoughts and sentiments as we move into the new year. We will want to let go of the past and hit the reset button in order to build a better comprehension of ourselves and the world around us. 

Whenever Uranus aspects a New Moon, it brings change and progress. Being that the rebellious planet is retrograde, along with Venus and Mercury is in its pre-retrograde zone, we will see a minor shift in the way we process information. Our minds are urging us to reboot and to see matters from a different perspective, which will allow us to take a step back and process situations in ways we haven’t before. Therefore, this will be the beginning of our personal renaissance and awakening that we will encompass throughout 2022. 

More importantly, freedom is being given to us. We have the power to decide how we want to move through the year and what intentions we wish to set. We can reinvent ourselves now and choose our own adventures without having to answer to anyone. We have the ability to create the personal world we want and flourish in it. 

The fixed star Nunki is activated from the New Moon, adding positive energy and good vibes to the day. The Sabian Symbol is “A Fire Worshipper Who Meditates On The Ultimate Realities Of Existence,” which means that we will be thinking of inventive ways to shake-up and reinvent our lives in the months ahead. 

*The New Moon occurs on January 2, 10:33 AM PT and 1:33 PM ET. 

What to Manifest During the New Moon

• Set a powerful intention for the New Year. Meditate on your goals. Write a letter of intent to the Universe asking for your soul’s desires. Light a white candle and think about the energy that you want in your life. This will set the tone for 2022.

• Visualize what you want to bring into your life. If you can see and believe it, then it can happen in reality. The more energy that you bring to it, the more it will manifest into reality. 

• Take a cleansing bath with Epsom salt, a few drops of Florida water, and rum, with baby’s breath flowers to reset the energy as we go into the new year. 

New Moon Mantra, Based on Your Zodiac Sign: 

Aries: I am in control of my professional destiny and will make moves to advance my career. 

Taurus: I am a powerful and magical person who can manifest the reality I want.

Sagittarius: I will focus on saving my assets, rather than spending without concern. 

Capricorn: I will be more open to new possibilities and less rigid in my thoughts.

Mercury and Venus's retrograde connect in the sign Capricorn on December 29, sweetening the day with kindness and gentleness. Also, Mercury enters its pre-retrograde phase on December 29, setting the stage for the planetary backspin that commences on January 14, 2022.

Jupiter in Pisces squares the Nodes of Destiny on January 3, offering us two different paths to take that will change our lives forever. Choose wisely! 

Witch Tip:

What do you want to bring into your life in 2022? Think about what energy and vibration you were wanting to add to your Orb. Write down your letter of intent to the Universe and meditate on your dreams. This will help you attain your goals and desires during the New Moon on January 2. If you think about your dreams throughout the week, you will be able to manifest fully on January 2. Now, is the time to assess and connect with what your heart wants to bring in.

Aries 

Taking total ownership for your actions and being accountable can be challenging, especially when you think you’re correct — even if you aren’t. Allow yourself to be placed on the same standard you hold others to in an effort to resolve the dichotomy and sanctimonious hypocritical sentiments that exist within. 

Taurus 

Journaling is an excellent way to manifest your goals for 2022. Not only will you be able to put these plans into action, but you’ll be able to connect with what your heart feels and wants. When you see your hopes on paper, you will start working towards attaining them. 

Gemini 

This week you are learning that kindness, patience, and flexibility are needed in becoming a good and noble leader. Knowing that you can be generous, efficient, and caring while steering the helm will help you create the powerful vibe that you want to have in your personal and professional life. 

Cancer 

It’s time to redefine and grow relationships in order for them to reach their fullest potential. Understanding what it takes to harvest a loving and kind partnership that has the potential to last long-term won’t be hard, as long as you pay attention to your feelings and acknowledge your sentiments.

Leo 

Although it’s easy to give your power to others, it’s important to note that you are the one who holds all of the cards in your intimate partnerships. Don’t allow others to control you or tell you how to think. You are your own person, with individualistic ideas and notions. 

Virgo 

In an effort to avoid saying things impulsively, write your thoughts down before expressing them. This will help you gain clarity in what you want to state, as well as allow you to avoid putting your foot in your mouth and making regrettable comments that others will not easily forgive. 

Libra 

Home is where your heart is, which is why you should spend more time in your dwelling this week. Think of this as a much-needed restorative break from your stressful daily routine. Take a break from the outside world and spend a few days cuddled up in bed resting. 

Scorpio 

The need to control matters and situations will be strong, as you are trying to mend problems and fix relationships that need adjustments. Keep in mind that you can’t be the glue that holds issues together all the time. It’s a group effort and requires mutual care to actually work.

Sagittarius 

Take a break from the mundane world and indulge in earthly pleasures. This doesn’t mean celebrating the incoming new year all day, rather it urges you to shift the focus of your energies and give you the space to create something tangible that can change your life for the better.

Capricorn 

Before you twist conversations and the intent of situations, make sure that you’re hearing the other person clearly. Although you want to make everything all about you, the likelihood of this is slim. Allow yourself to see the bigger picture and offer compassion to those in need while maintaining boundaries. 

Aquarius 

As the new year commences, you’re soul-searching for the best ways to elevate your heart and mind. Also, to be the best version of yourself. The caveat is that you are not inwards to understand your needs and mend past issues. This means righting wrongs and owning up to mistakes.

Pisces 

Turn your restlessness into opportunities. Instead of having sleepless nights and extra energy in the day, focus on how you can make your innermost visions a reality. Don't just spend time plotting, thinking, and dreaming. Spend this week gaining insight in integrating these aspirations to be part of your hustle.

WITCHTIPS & HOROSCOPES 12/15-21/2021

Mars connects with the South Node in Sagittarius on December 15, making us all tired and emotional. The Full Moon in Gemini occurs on December 18, giving us a spiritual awakening. The Sagittarius Sun and Jupiter, who’s in Aquarius, harmonize on December 19 and add optimism to the day. Venus retrograde in Capricorn commences the same day, asking us to refine our spending and relationships. Mercury in Capricorn aligns with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on December 20, opening our eyes to interesting news, insights, gossip, and information. The Winter Solstice and the Sun’s entrance into Capricorn commence on December 21, starting Yuletide celebrations which will give us a few moments of inner reflection. 

Witchtip

Mars and the South Node of Destiny’s cosmic alliance on December 15 will leave us all feeling as though we can’t move forward in any direction. Light a yellow candle (because Wednesday is Mercury’s day) to get the energy flowing and moving on the 15th. Carve your name and birthdate on it. Then, write a letter of intention stating what can use some movement in your life. Place the paper under a bowl of water, in which you can put the candle. Meditate on your desires, then light the candle. Hopefully, the energy won’t feel still or stuck anymore, once the candle starts to burn. 

Aries 

Your inner desires are coming out, making you lust after a previously held vision. Allow yourself to let go of the illusion that you have created for yourself over the past several years and embrace your truest passions (which you may have forgotten about or put on the back burner).

Taurus 

Your mind is going 1,000,000 miles a second, which is why it is important for you to decompress and relax throughout the week. This means that you shouldn’t let any energy that is detrimental to your own mental or emotional health enter your zone. Protect your energy with extra caution.

Gemini 

Your intuition is on fire this week, which is juxtaposing your logical mind. Find a balance between reason and the emotional side of things to help you understand what the universe is trying to tell you and what news is unfolding around you. Listen to the voice within for guidance.

Cancer 

There is a lot of confusion to where your relationships are currently headed. The more energy and stress you get to the situation, the more ambiguity will mount on your mind and weigh on your heart. Instead of obsessing, guessing, and contemplating about the situation, reach out and discuss matters.

Leo 

Simply put: You are beyond tired and exhausted. Before you push yourself to the max and beyond your limit, contemplate if the eventual physical and mental burnout is worth it. Therefore, it’s best to ask for help when you need it and to not take on too much right now.

Virgo 

Romance in the air this week. The caveat is that you may want to slow down the sentiment and vibe, with the intention of focusing on yourself. Although this will disappoint the person who’s pursuing you, it’s important for you to feel good about yourself before aligning with someone else.

Libra 

It’s been a long  time since you’ve felt adventurous, but this week is urging you to get out of your comfort zone and shake up your daily routine. This means trying a new restaurant, taking a class, or going on a day trip out of town to see the world.

Scorpio 

This week calls for you to take your power back. Although you never officially gave it away, you’ve been placing your fate and destiny in the hands of others. Now is the ideal time to take charge and be the one who is controlling every aspect of your own life.

Sagittarius 

Relationships may seem to be more complex than ever, making you second guess your footing with your peers and acquaintances. Instead of running away from problems, which you normally do, try to work them out. Resolving matters will strengthen bonds and squash residual tense vibes that are percolating around you.

Capricorn 

This is a week in which self-care is extremely important. Rather than taking on the weight of the world (a sentiment that you usually do), take a step back and let your spirit heal. The more energy you give back to yourself and rest your body, the better you’ll feel.

Aquarius 

It’s been a long time since you have allowed yourself to be free, at peace, and to see where the week takes you. Give yourself a moment to turn off your phone and disconnect from others. Smell the roses, take a long lunch break, and indulge in your favorite activities. 

Pisces 

If a situation has proven to be toxic or unhealthy for you, it’s time to let go and cut the cord. Staying in a situation that doesn’t make you happy will prove to be nothing but stress — which is why it’s best to simply move on and release it.
