WITCH-TIPS & HOROSCOPES 11/25-12/1

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius commences on November 25, lasting until December 15. As a result, communication, travel, and technology will be challenging. The Sun in Sagittarius and Nodes of Destiny give us a gentle push towards attaining our goals and desires on November 26. The Sun and Mars in Leo connect on November 27, invigorating each other. As a result, our confidence and energy will be at a high. December 1st brings the New Moon in Sagittarius, urging us to embrace unique philosophical views on matters and life.  

Witch tips:

Since Mercury Retrograde might hinder our ability to process matters, it’s essential to look to other means of understanding and knowledge to find answers. A pendulum reading is great, due to the spirits giving their input from their presence and the energy surrounding the situation could bring clarity. When questioning issues this week, let your pendulum guide you. 

Aries 

A thirst for adventure pushes you to embrace fun. There will be an appreciation for both order and chaos under this juxtaposing energy, which is why you should try to have an exciting week  — but to also leave some room for exploration and improvisation. Try to live in the moment.

Taurus 

There will be a positive shift in matters of the heart and money throughout the week. You will be at ease when it comes to expressing your sentiments, giving yourself the chance to discuss your emotions freely. Love and kindness will reign in relationships at this tender moment in time.

Gemini 

If there is a conflict brewing with someone else, it’s not the best time to confront them. There is no direction as to where the situation may go. Without certainty, it’s ideal to skirt around issues if you can. But, if you cannot, choose kindness and compassion in your reaction.

Cancer 

Don’t be surprised if emotions hit an extreme, due to the immense paranoia you’re feeling at the moment. Pay attention to what you know instead of adding made up  facts that aren’t real. Let your close friends and family members help guide you at this time by offering solid advice.

Leo

You have the opportunity to push through the constraints which hold you back. The caveat is that you must give yourself the grace to heal your past and wounds along the way. This will help you move forward and feel better about situations that have been weighing on your heart.

Virgo 

Be receptive and open minded to hearing out issues arise with friends and family. As a result, you’ll cultivate an amazing problem solving skill set that will help you get through every hard obstacle while building interpersonal relationships. You’ll be ready to mend ongoing problems in your brood through altruism. 

Libra 

Your communication skills are becoming more direct and blunt. You won’t be able to hide secrets and only speak your input. The only thing to watch out for is that you may say things in the heat of the moment that you don’t mean, but are hard to hold back.

Scorpio 

You will be prone to being more guarded, suspicious, and private this week because you assume others are concealing important information or spreading inaccurate words. The New Moon will get you in the mood to look and search for insight  — especially since matters and relationships are more complex than ever.

Sagittarius 

There is so much to do and little time to do it. Don't worry about errands. In the meantime, it’s best to focus on giving yourself TLC and implementing self-care into your life by treating yourself to something nice. It’s a prime week to put your needs and wants first.

Capricorn 

Try not to get too sensitive when people make assumptions and comments that are unsolicited. You hold the power to control the outcome of matters. Don’t escalate a situation to ensure it refrains from becoming larger than life. You can always walk away from situations that are toxic and confrontational.

Aquarius 

This week’s lunar verve pushes you to turn away from stress or emotional turmoil that others bring into your aura. You may find that others are more moody than usual, resulting in you wanting to hide away in a cocoon to be safe. By doing this, you’ll protect your energy.

Pisces 

This is a meaningful week where you can set boundaries and take charge in every aspect of your life. You will be a force to be reckoned with and able to be the boss in the office as well as personally. No one and nothing can stand in your way.

WITCH-TIPS & HOROSCOPES 11/18-24

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

On November 18, chatty Mercury in Sagittarius opposes expansive Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, expanding our minds and horizons. The same day, the Sun in Scorpio trines Neptune retrograde in Pisces, urging us to believe in our dreams. Transformative Pluto re-enters Aquarius on the 19th, taking us back to the beginning of the year and spring of 2023. This is the Universe’s way to see how we've grown and if we are on the best path. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, adding positivity and pep to our lives. Later, the Sun connects with Pluto, heightening our drive and passion. The Last Quarter Moon in Virgo on November 22 pushes us to be mindful of what we want to attain. Venus in Capricorn harmonizes with Saturn in Pisces on November 22, helping us to commit to whom and what we love most. Mars in Leo links up with the Nodes of Destiny on the 23rd, energizing us with the momentum to make moves in advancing ourselves.

Witch-tip: 

Use the Last Quarter Moon in Virgo on November 22 to declutter and cleanse your personal space. Since the Virgo Moon aims to purify, it’s a great time to banish dull and negative frequencies. Pour salt into each corner of the home to absorb unwanted energy. Light your favorite cleansing herbs and let them burn for a few minutes, and allow the smoke to permeate every room. Also, donate unwanted items collecting dust to a charity or give them away to lighten up the home and your feelings.  

Aries 

You may be more passive because you're trying to avoid arguments with others. This will eventually result in you wanting to express your feelings. If you desire to speak up, you should send an email to express your feelings and make edits before sending it to appear kind.

Taurus 

The upcoming days will make you feel very powerful, which means you'll assert your energy in confronting matters and people. Make clear statements to ensure that you are being heard. Since you are mandating respect, it is important to make your sentiments known and demand that you be taken seriously.

Gemini 

There might be ambivalence in committing to relationships, as your emotions and mind are waffling back and forth while juxtaposing each other. Before making any moves, take time to feel out the situation. When you are ready, you'll know what your heart wants and needs. Give yourself time to decide.

Cancer 

Being consistent is simultaneously easy and hard for you. On the one hand, you find comfort in your daily routine. On the other hand, you like to be wild at heart — since you change your emotions with the lunar signs and phases. Find a middle ground to satisfy both parts of yourself. 

Leo

Power struggles with others will hit a high. Rather than dominating those you care about, allow them to speak up and try not to oppose their opinions with force. You can avoid the drama by giving them room to be free and think for themselves without having to answer you.

Virgo 

Pressures are beginning to weigh heavily on your shoulders. Therefore, it’s vital to find a way to decompress instead of internalizing everything. Release the pent-up sentiments by taking a walk in nature, enjoying a deep tissue massage, or taking a relaxing bath. Self-care is a must this week, Virgo.

Libra 

Although you aren’t usually into gossip, your ears might be burning to hear some salacious news. The caveat is that there might be missing facts to the news. All the more reason why it’s best to not repeat the information, so you can avoid fights with others down the road.

Scorpio 

Do not let unfortunate work news get you down. If you're up for a promotion or raise, use this offer as a way to negotiate. Think of it as an opportunity to counter the offer you are receiving to get what you wish to attain. Have patience and never settle. 

Sagittarius 

Empathy and creativity are activated this week. It is a wonderful time to meditate and manifest since the cosmos are making you feel sentimental. Your optimistic mindset will end with positive outcomes because you can vocalize your opinions. It’s time to uncover and discuss hidden emotions brooding beneath the surface.

Capricorn 

Your finances might take a minor hit. Do not let this issue spill over into your relationships, as you may want to argue with others about money. Things lighten up as the week comes to an end. You will feel the support of loved ones who will cheer you up.

Aquarius 

It is a great week to start working on any goals you have in mind or have been on the back burner. Sit down with friends and talk about your hopes for the future. They might inspire you in ways you can't even imagine and offer solid advice that helps you. 

Pisces 

Professional aspirations might seem out of reach. But, that doesn't mean they aren't impossible. Think about how you can make your visions a reality. This requires a lot of time to plan matters, so make sure you have the bandwidth to do so to ensure you can carry them out.

The Balance of Magic

Written by Bri Luna

In the diverse and beautiful tapestry of magical traditions, very few subjects ignite as much debate as the notion that "a Witch who cannot hex cannot heal." This statement, while provocative, encapsulates a profound truth about the dual nature of magic itself. Some practitioners argue against hexing, citing principles like the “Threefold Law,” which cautions that any negative energy sent out will return threefold, as a reason to avoid any form of what is perceived as "dark magic." However, this perspective often overlooks the complexity and necessity of understanding both sides of the magical spectrum.

As a Black and Mexican practitioner, my heritage carries a rich history of spiritual practices that emphasize self-defense and protection. In a world that often feels hostile, the idea that one should shy away from hexing feels not only impractical but also unjust. The reality is that magic, like fire or electricity, is inherently neutral. It possesses the potential for both creation and destruction, and recognizing this duality is crucial for any serious practitioner.

The labels of "black" and "white" magic come with historical baggage that suggests a moral alignment that simply does not exist. For me, the more accurate terms are "constructive" and "destructive" magic. Both forms of magic can be wielded to support or harm, and neither is inherently good or evil. The magic itself does not carry a moral compass; it is the intention and application of the practitioner that determines the outcome.

Destructive magic, often conflated with hexing, is not solely about inflicting harm. It can encompass actions that, while initially seeming negative, lead to positive outcomes. Consider the act of demolishing an old building to make way for a new and safer structure, or the medical procedures that destroy cancer cells to save a life. Hexing can serve as a protective measure, a means to break curses, or a way to defend oneself from harm. In this light, the practice of hexing transforms from a dark act into a necessary tool for empowerment and safety.

To refuse to explore the full spectrum of magic is to limit oneself, akin to a doctor who only studies preventative medicine but ignores the healing of existing ailments. Mastery in magic requires a comprehensive understanding of its entirety. We must engage with both the constructive and destructive aspects of our craft. The choice of how to use that knowledge, whether for healing or hexing will always remain a personal decision, reflective of our values and circumstances.

Embracing both sides of magic does not make one an evil Witch; rather, it fosters a sense of balance and wisdom. It is through this understanding that we can navigate the complexities of our practice with integrity and intention. The true essence of magic lies in our choices and the responsibility we take for them. By acknowledging and respecting both the light and dark within the magical realm, we empower ourselves and others, creating a richer, more profound engagement with the forces of the universe.

Ultimately, the debate surrounding hexing and healing is not merely about ethics; it's about understanding the full spectrum of what it means to be a Witch. By recognizing the value of both constructive and destructive magic, we can cultivate a practice that is not only powerful but also deeply rooted in self-awareness and respect for the forces we wield. Ultimately, the magic we create is a reflection of the choices we make, and it is in that choice that our true power lies.

PSA: November 3 Astrology Is Fierce!

The end of Daylight Savings brings intense astrology.

On November 3, the Moon moves from passionate Scorpio to defensive Sagittarius. It’ll be hard to back down from a POV once it’s put out into the world. Own your words and explain what you mean. Listen to others, then make judgments.

Mars in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn for the last time in our lifetime. Pluto is moving back into Aquarius on November 15, making this moment intense. When these two powerhouse planets oppose each other, the need to dominate, control, and manipulate is extreme. Power dynamics can reach a feverish high. The flip side is that we can use the energy to change our lives and views—if we are open to growth.

Venus in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter retrograde in Gemini and harmonizes with the centaur Chiron retrograde in Aries. We may have a heightened sense of confidence or lack of self-esteem. Use Chiron to heal by focusing yourself. Affirmations, long walks in nature, and self-care are positive ways to mend the heart.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 10/21-27

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

An energetic shift is coming our way! Mercury in Scorpio harmonizes with Saturn retrograde in Pisces on October 22, pushing us to set boundaries. Later that day, the Sun in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn, heightening power struggles and frustrations. Try to stay in your lane to avoid the drama. The Sun enters Scorpio on the 22nd, deepening our emotions and intensifying relationships. Moments after the Sun’s transformative change, Venus  in Sagittarius connects with the True Node of Destiny, making fated alliances and decisions about love. The Last Quarter Moon in Leo on October 24th brings a dramatic end to situations. Mars in Cancer unites with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on October 24th, pushing us to see things differently and to take a different approach to matters. 

Witch-tips: 

The Last Quarter Moon in Leo on October 24th is a great time to cleanse the aura with crystal magic. Releasing old situations and partnerships is challenging, but using a selenite crystal to get rid of the toxic elements remaining from the past will soothe the body, mind, and spirit. Use the crystal like a wand and let go of negative sentiments. Bring in positivity and light as you cleanse the aura. 

Aries

It’s important to watch out for people who may take you for granted or not have your best intentions at heart. You can get played or used without even seeing it coming, which is why it’s important for you to be aware that this is a possibility in some relationships.

Taurus

Dream big, with the knowledge that your ship is coming in. However, don’t place all of your cards on one bet since your over-optimistic attitude is forcing you to. Take off your rose colored glasses, to see situations clearly to ensure you make the right steps based on that information.

Gemini 

Boundaries might be blurred as you are in the mood to consume and possess other’s thoughts, hearts, and emotions — the same can be said for how you are currently  approaching romance in the next several weeks. Don't shy away from merging with another and becoming one at this time.

Cancer

Your sensitive side is being heightened, and things could quickly become overwhelming this week. Try not to take things too personally. There is a lot of tension in the air, and if you're not mindful, your ego and relationship might take a severe hit if you ignite your passions and jealousies. 

Leo

There is strong energy for nurturing within relationships, but you may want to do some monitoring to make sure the love and affection go both ways. Don't expend energy and take that sentiment from people who aren't able or willing to reciprocate it. Focus on those who build you up.

Virgo

Be careful when dealing with others, as there will be a desire to offer advice that may not necessarily be welcome. Fixate on solving your own problems and allow other people to work out their own issues (unless they ask you for your help). Don’t be a know-it-all in friendships.

Libra

As long as you're honest about matters and hold your cards close to your chest, you will thrive in the days to come. The caveat to your situation is that you might get defensive and create problems that do not exist due to your desire to be heard and seen.

Scorpio 

Try not to be too rigid and be kind to yourself . It’ll be important as the current astrological aspects are unpleasant and can make it difficult for you to praise your work. Cut yourself a break and take a time out if you begin to enter the realms of self-doubt.

Sagittarius 

It's a great time to discuss creative endeavors, just keep your ego in check so you don't end up coming off as arrogant. A major plus is that people will be interested in what you have to say and believe in your point of view, so don't hold yourself back.

Capricorn 

Expect to feel a boost in your proficiency and ability to see the truth in matters. You might find it necessary to put up walls in order to protect your energy if you're not prepared to swim in the empathetic waters this week. Only engage in what’s right for you.

Aquarius 

By doing shadow work, you can begin to understand your patterns and find new and healthier ways of being. On a positive note, the energy will help you see our own self-worth and identify the ways in which you can grow. Listen to your heart to attain great things, Aquarius.

Pisces 

Transformation does not happen overnight and sticking to a routine while making small adjustments can help move things in the right direction, without overwhelming your psyche. Finding balance won't be easy, so try to ease your stress levels. Trust the process and take baby steps towards your goals and aspirations. 

The Super Full Hunter’s Moon In Aries

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

The Super Full Hunter’s Moon in Aries occurs on October 17th at 4:26 AM PT and 7:26 AM ET. Also known as the Blood Moon, this lunation is the biggest supermoon of the year. Since the Moon is near Earth, it will appear more vibrant and prominent, and our emotions will be overdrive. 

With the action planet Mars in Cancer, expansive Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, and Pluto in Capricorn aspecting the Full Moon, we’ll be taking steps towards connecting with our personal goals. The caveat is that others stand in our happiness, creating conflict behind the scenes. As a result, emotions will reach a feverish pitch, escalating our passions and making us confrontational.

The centaur Chiron, retrograde in Aries, offers an opportunity to heal. However, the process could take a while because the asteroid Juno in Libra wants to redefine dynamics and relationships, while Eris in Aries is taking our frustrations to the next level. Try to find a moment of calm to decompress and cool off rather than coming in hot.

The fixed stars Kurhah and Al Pherg are in play, bringing fortune, but with a cost. Hidden motivations and manipulations will be exposed, allowing us to see who calls the shots behind the scenes. Instead of walking away, power struggles will exist, leading to arguments. Surrounding ourselves with good-hearted people and grounding energy is ideal.

Venus enters Sagittarius later in the day, softening up the energy. Optimism replaces negativity, offering us a chance to embrace our unique attributes. The clouds in the sky will part, letting the sunshine in after an intense morning. 

Focus on your desires under the Full Moon. Carve your name into a red candle. Anoint it with cinnamon oil, which is used for fast work, heating up your intentions and activating them quickly - a sentiment the warrior Aries Moon can get behind. Light a red candle to evoke the intensity of Aries and state what you need vigor for. The universe will give you the capacity and ability to get what you need and deserve. 

Witch-tips & Horoscopes 10/14-20

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The Libra Sun squares Mars in Cancer on October 14th, pushing us to express our desires and needs. The same day, Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus retrograde in Taurus, forcing us to leave restrictive situations and relationships. Venus harmonizes with Neptune retrograde Pisces on October 15, resolving issues from the previous day. The Full Moon in Aries on October 17th heightens our passions — especially with Venus aspecting Pluto in Capricorn. Several hours later, Venus enters Sagittarius, bringing fun and excitement to partnerships.

Witch-tip:

There is a lot of tense energy in the cosmos this week, which is why it's ideal to take a healing and meditative bath to decompress. Rosemary and ylang ylang (flowers or oil) are great ingredients to add to relieve tensions. Mix with Epsom salt in a warm bath to detox and uplift the body, mind, and spirit.

Aries 

The Full Moon might have you rethinking your identity, giving you the push you need to make any personal changes that are overdue. These vibes can also promote spiritual enlightenment, so be sure to set aside some time for a nature walk or meditation session to reconnect with yourself too.

Taurus 

Communication, decision-making, and choices regarding money will need to be looked at with a separate pair of eyes to make sure nothing gets missed. Take your time in reviewing the details and seek clarity before you move forward with anything. Ask a friend or advisor for assistance before fully committing. 

Gemini 

Take some time to reconnect with your friends. Seeking adventure with your allies will lift your spirits and give you the opportunity to meet new people. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there this week, and be sure to exchange contact information with anyone you hit it off with.

Cancer

Finish projects that have been left on the backburner and to sharpen your skills with classes or simply watching videos online. The more you heighten the intellectual desires and tools within, the easier it will be to create change and greatness in your current endeavors or even shift old perspectives.

Leo

Be mindful of who you're investing your energy in. Avoid giving your attention to anyone who doesn't see you for who you truly are, and if you feel like you're having to change in order to meet someone else's expectations — they are probano not at the same level as you.

Virgo

You may be on the lookout to collaborate with new folks at work or be inspired to present new ideas to your boss. Opportunities will likely arise through partnerships and connections with similar minded individuals. You will make significant strides in your career path with the right planning and focus.

Libra

Use your intuition to navigate through communication challenges to ensure you have the right understanding of what others need now. If you own your business, tap into your emotional intelligence and nurturing relationships with clients and partners. That way you can grow and evolve to live to your best potential. 

Scorpio

This is a time to promote yourself and your brand which could lead to exciting ventures for you. This week presents you with an amazing chance to make significant strides towards your ambitions. Embrace courage and confidence in your actions. The Full Moon will guide you towards prosperity and abundance.

Sagittarius 

Tap into your natural curiosity and seek out novelties wherever possible. You will most likely use the vital energy of the Full Moon to expand into new markets or diversify what you have to offer. This will lead to a lot of personal success for the rest of the year.

Capricorn 

You may want to instill transformation by using positive feedback from others on how to streamline processes. Embrace innovation when pursuing your business goals this month. The weekly vibe presents opportunities to break free from the normal constraints. This is your chance to create a new path toward your success. 

Aquarius  

Try to be adaptable when solving problems and multitasking. This week, you strive to be successful and consistent in your practices. Then, you will be able to deliver on your promises and build trust with others. April gives you an opportunity to make progress by being both disciplined and flexible.

Pisces 

Your imagination and compassion will help you toward evoking new approaches and ways  of connecting with others. Allow your empathy to align with those you care about in order to smooth over any minor misunderstandings that stand in the way of making amends and forgiveness. Proceed with kindness and love.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 10/8-13

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

Venus in Scorpio connects with Mars in Cancer October 8th intensifying our romantic desires. The same day,Mercury in Libra and Jupiter in Gemini link up, expanding our minds and horizons. Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini commences on October 9, lasting until February 4, 2025. The retrograde will allow us to make calculated risks before jumping into matters. October 10th brings the First Quarter Moon in Capricorn, ending eclipse season and bringing fresh energy our way. Pluto turns direct in Capricorn on October 11th, completing the retrograde cycle that began on May 2. Now, we can use the knowledge we’ve gained and make changes in our life. Mercury squares Pluto on the 13th, escalating arguments and power struggles. Fortunately, Mercury enters Scorpio a few hours later, calming the drama. In the evening, the Sun in Libra harmonizes with Jupiter retrograde, boosting our confidence and bringing abundance our way.

Witch tip:

Use the energy of the First Quarter Moon to plant seeds for the future. Write down your intentions for growth and tie it to the root of a plant or bury it in soil. Give it some love and light in the upcoming months and watch it evolve with your dreams.

Aries 

This is a beautiful time to explore new ideas and engage in activities that stimulate your curiosity. Your charming and witty nature will align you with those who are seeking truth and justice in the world. Use this as a moment to connect with creative thinking and true blue friends.

Taurus 

Trust your instincts when it comes to expressing how you feel. Your authenticity will be appreciated and reciprocated. Make sure you also listen to your partner’s needs. This current cosmic climate will draw potential partners (in matters of the heart and career) toward you. Stay true to yourself this week.

Gemini 

Exes from the past may resurface this week from Jupiter’s planetary retrograde on your Sun. Even if you're feeling as though you should connect, avoid the temptation to have conversations with exes, as the comfort will be fleeting and can ultimately get in the way of your next great love.

Cancer 

Wearing your heart on your sleeve opens you up to new possibilities and experiences — especially when it comes to intimate relationships. Try to connect with your own personal desires and wants before extending yourself to others. Doing so will help you evolve as a person by focusing on yourself first.

Leo

Vocalizing every sentiment publicly is not the best way to handle your emotions. Share your feelings with a few close friends in order to deal with matters privately. It’ll be easier to navigate and work through issues with hands from those who genuinely care about you without judgment from others.

Virgo

If there are any passion projects that have fallen to the wayside recently, now would be the time to reorganize your tasks so you can bring your vision into the material realms. Look within yourself for inspiration to find out how you can move these endeavors forward without a hitch.

Libra 

No matter what the dynamics of your home life are at the moment, this cosmic climate will encourage you to recharge your batteries by staying in and unwinding with friends and family. Use this week as a chance to heal and rest, as it’ll serve as a moment to reset.

Scorpio 

Watch out for inflated egos in your relationships. This can  spell trouble if you or your friends act a little full of themselves, so try to stay grounded. If you don't think anyone in your sphere can keep a down to earth disposition, make plans to catch them another time. 

Sagittarius 

Take this week as your opportunity to indulge in the finer things in life, and ask your crush or friends out for a fancy dinner, craft cocktails, and a movie at home. If you are in the mood to fly solo, use these vibes to romance and pamper yourself instead.

Capricorn 

This week, you are feeling more vulnerable than ever, as the First  Quarter Moon is heightening your inner emotions and triggering your fears. Take a moment to find your sense of calm through self-care activities. Spending time in nature could help in alleviating the pain or turmoil in your life.

Aquarius 

Although you have good intentions and want to clear the air in order to create a better connection with others, old wounds might resurface from the past. Be kind to these sentiments and the shadow self as the emotions come out in order to heal the body, mind, and spirit.

Pisces 

Your connection to the universe will be strengthened, which you should use as an opportunity to manifest what you'd like to attract. Keep an eye out for signs right now, especially around matters of the heart. If you're unsure of how to move forward, a meditation session can provide clarity.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The last eclipse of 2024 is here!

Mars in Cancer and Saturn retrograde in Pisces harmonize on September 30, allowing us to take control of our lives. Fortunately, the sun and mercury form a conjunction in Libra known as “cazimi,” in which we can see things clearly and take action around matters. The solar eclipse on October 2 in Libra allows us to release the past to bring in new sentiments and energies. On October 4, Venus in Scorpio connects with Saturn retrograde, urging us to commit to relationships, ideas, and creative projects. Mercury squares Mars on October 6, creating conflict and drama in communication. Listen before reacting to avoid confrontations and try to give people compassion when discussing situations.

Witch-tip

This is a week to reflect upon the past rather than set intentions to manifest new opportunities. Take time to meditate on how far you've come and where you want to be. Recognize that you've achieved so much greatness and are a fabulous person. Give yourself TLC and honor your accomplishments.

Aries

You may realize that someone you’ve kept close isn’t actually pulling their weight in the relationship. Alternatively, you may also recognize areas where you need to work a little bit harder to reach your highest potential in how you connect with others. Now is a time to refresh the energy.

Taurus

Repeating yourself is more frustrating than usual, or if it happens that people just simply do not understand what you’re getting at, it may get under your skin. Push for the right phrases to express yourself, but if you need to ask for more time to think about a response, do so.

Gemini

You will find yourself in the most warm, insightful, and joyful mood. The eclipse opens you up to clarity, allowing the third eye for intuition to come through. Some light journaling is a great way to end this week in order to note all of the experiences in your life.

Cancer

Take the time to reflect on the friendships in your life. You do not know how other's are feeling or what is on their minds right now, but that will be soon revealed especially in love situations. Relationships in general are going through a phase of reconnection and psychological evolution.

Leo

There is hidden information here that needs to be uncovered. It might not be this week, but it will come out with the bathwater very soon that's for sure. The eclipse wants you to be extremely fair even though the aspects it’s making do not. Pay attention now, fierce Leo!

Virgo

Ask yourself exactly who and what you’re willing to fight for! That is exactly where you need to spend more of your time. It might even require you to cut away unwanted things and people from your life, and do an about face in the eyes of those around you.

Libra

The nurturing influence from a loving vibe emphasizes a dreamier quality in you when approaching various challenges in creative matters. Recognizing the immense value in artistry can dedicate certain variations of your own inner voice. This is the perfect week to pick up on those crafting projects you've already started.

Scorpio

The ultimate self-care challenge begins this week. It is time to prioritize your needs, but it’s not all about being selfish. In fact, this practice will make you a better partner, lover, friend and family member as you will have learned to love yourself in a more healthy, productive way.  

Sagittarius

There is a feeling of being supported on an emotional scale despite how vulnerable the healing process might be. You are not alone even at times it can feel like you're the only one in the room these days. Reach out to friends for love and kindness at this time.

Capricorn

It’s a good time to clean and organize our space. Turn on happy music and dance your stress away while decluttering the home. Getting rid of stuff that you don’t need brings room for new opportunities to grow, while serving as a therapeutic method to release stagnant energies and emotions.

Aquarius

You might feel overwhelmed with the amount of chatter going on in your various circles and communities. Listen carefully and be cognizant to what is happening around you to ensure you are understanding situations and intentions clearly. You never know what can transcend as a result of your behavior.

Pisces

The week starts out intensely with a ton of energy swirling around. You can actually ease up on yourself and relax at home. You've done what you needed to do in a short amount of time. Be proud of yourself and let yourself unwind with wonderful food, conversation, and company.

The Solar Eclipse In Libra

 Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The solar eclipse in Libra occurs on October 2 at 11:29 AM Pacific Time and 2:29 PM Eastern Time. This is the last eclipse of 2024, making it a pivotal time to lean into our desires and embrace our fate.

The eclipse connects with Mercury in Libra and squares Mars in Cancer while aligning with the South Node of Destiny. When these planets link up, it can bring intensity to the forefront of our emotions and hearts. Mercury in Libra wants us to have a more balanced approach to communication. In contrast, Mars in Cancer wants us to act based on our feelings because this is a sentimental placement for the action planet. Past events or situations may trigger us. Instead of reacting, the Universe is giving us a chance to release all of the issues, resentments, or roadblocks that have been weighing us down or standing in our way of success in all aspects of life.

Black Moon Lilith in Libra, the asteroids Ceres in Capricorn, and Pallas in Sagittarius add energy to the eclipse. The presence of  Black Moon Lilith means we want to break free and out of the constraints holding us back. We might feel that partnerships, relationships, or friendships are not proving to be as strong as we thought, allowing us to let go of people who aren't helping us evolve to our higher state of being. It may be hard to realize that we have outgrown relationships, but doing so will allow us to enhance our lives with others on our level. Ceres proves that our current state of thought is temporary, and we will want to put these associations on pause and focus on ourselves. Pallas wants us to know that giving yourself the love, respect, and care you deserve is essential. After all, the most important relationship is the one with ourselves. Fighting for our independence and honor is vital.

Conversely, we might see temporary relationships form now; however, the probability of them lasting a lifetime is slim. These people will teach us a lot about ourselves, a karmic lesson we must learn. Whether it be a business partnership or an intimate alliance, know that the closeness may end with the onset of the new season in December. Don't invest extreme energy into them, and keep your options open.

The fixed stars Vindemiatrix and Porrima bring juxtaposing flavors to the eclipse. Vindemiatrix creates impulsivity in our decisions, while Porrima urges us to contemplate how we wish to move forward. Although it will be hard not to make erratic choices, the cosmos suggests we reflect before taking measures. Try to be strategic in plans.

WITCH TIPS 9/23- 29

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The Last Quarter Moon in Cancer occurs on September 24th and urges us to define our comforts. Mercury in Virgo harmonizes with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on the same day, broadening our horizons and bringing clarity to our minds. Mercury opposes Neptune retrograde in Pisces on the 25th, heightening our intuition and imagination. Mercury harmonizes with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on September 26, highlighting pir desire to investigate matters and find universal truths. Mercury moves into Libra later in the day, balancing out these sentiments and allowing us to communicate concisely. On September 29 the Sun and Mercury, both of whom are in Libra, align with the South Node of Destiny, making us feel insecure and anxious. Meditate and decompress through self-care.

Witch-tips:

Our emotions may be up and down this week, causing us to feel less than special; therefore, we need to craft our individual and personal affirmations that we can say every day to make ourselves feel better.

Aries

The big cosmic lesson for you right now, is to find security within yourself and not through the attention of others. You are in a romantic mood right now, especially right before next week’s solar eclipse. Take this time to indulge and rest in preparation for what is to come.

Taurus

New career ventures are unfolding right in front of your eyes. The good news is that you have the option to take any road you choose, allowing you to be ahead of the game. Think about what you want to attain professionally. Visualize it coming to fruition and it will.

Gemini

Take time to focus on yourself and how you'd like to evolve. Write a list of any accomplishments you hope to actualize. Keep in mind that the energy around this time will be fairly unpredictable, so you'll need to stay flexible and do your best to go with the flow.

Cancer

Use the beginning of the week to reinvest in your personal space, as the cosmos activates the sector of your chart that rules the home. You will be in the mood to camp out in your abode, choosing to redecorate, reorganize, and freshen up your space by cleansing the energy.

Leo

While you'll feel tempted to help your friends sort out their own issues, you will want to use the energy to focus on your own self-improvement. Be mindful of how much time and energy you're giving to others right now, and pull back if you are being taken for granted.

Virgo

If you're unhappy with your work life, now would be the time to think about where you'd like to see change. Remember that being happy can be based on feeling good about your own circumstances, and what you do for a living can have a huge impact on your disposition.

Libra

You’re a busy bee, so try to decompress in nature and with your significant other or crush. This is the perfect time to get swept away by love, bringing you a much-needed reprieve from your busy work schedule and social life. Then you can relax with those you care about.

Scorpio

Stress will be amplified throughout the week, so you'll need to be mindful that you're cutting out some time for self-care and time for yourself. If you're on the hunt for new endeavors and rituals, you’ll want to sleep on it before taking action and making moves in any direction.

Sagittarius

If there are any projects you've been putting off lately, now would be the time to handle such business. No matter what the dynamics of your home life are at the moment, this cosmic climate will encourage you to recharge your batteries by staying in and catching up on rest.

Capricorn

Watch how others treat you as people will be in the mood to spoil you, and even the slightest kind deed could be an indication of deeper feelings lurking below the surface. The caveat is that you’re wanting to have a chill week without the additional drama looming around you.

Aquarius

Spontaneity and adventure are in the cards for you this week, Aquarius. You may find yourself craving excitement and exploration within the work you do, seeking new experiences that ignite your sense of freedom and curiosity. Consider taking a trip out of your neighborhood to get inspired by the world.

Pisces  

Currently, your intuition is at its highest, so be sure to take note of everything that comes to your mind and heart in your personal journal. By doing this, you will be able to plan out the future and understand circumstances as they begin to unfold on a deeper level.
