WITCH-TIPS & HOROSCOPES 3/17-23

Astrology by : Lisa Stardust 

As we move between eclipses, the Universe is finding a moment of calm that allows us to connect with our body, mind, and spirit. The week ahead is enabling us to find peace of mind. The Sun connects with the North Node of Destiny in Pisces today ( March 17th) heightening our confidence and creativity. On March 19, the Sun forms an alliance with Neptune, urging us to dream BIG. Our sensitivities and intuition might escalate on this day; however, it's essential to understand that Mercury retrograde might be creating false prophecies, so be careful and what you believe to be true. The spring equinox, astrological new year, and Sun’s movement into Aries occurs on March 20, inspiring us to move towards a new season with fresh hopes and aspirations. Venus retrograde in Aries harmonizes with Pluto in Aquarius on March 21, adding passion to our love lives. The Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn on March 22 urges us to put our best foot forward and complete business matters with swiftness. The same day, the Sun links up with Venus retrograde, creating “cazimi,”

which is a pivotal time for romance. Being that  Venus is retrograde, it will offer us a moment of reflection and contemplation of the past and how we want to move forward with current relationships. The Sun and Pluto harmonize on March 23, pushing us to tackle all matters on our plates with enthusiasm and gusto. The only way out is through.

Witch-tip:

The Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn is a time to contemplate upon what truly is important to your well-being and life. Write a journal entry about what you want and don't understand and clarify your needs. Then rip up the paper and burn carefully or flush away to rid yourself of it for good.

Aries

People will want to give you advice now, so it is important to lean into the suggestions available to you and take it. This good energy will last for a while. Don’t let anything get in between of you aligning yourself with great professional partnerships during your upcoming solar return.

Taurus 

New opportunities are coming your way without a hitch during the Last Quarter Moon, allowing you to gain speed and success in the business sphere of your life. You’ll find yourself in a better position than ever, putting you ahead of the rest and able to reap the benefits easily.

Gemini 

The Sun’s ingress into Aries will ask you to handle your affairs at home with TLC, and you may even feel inspired to make some decorative changes. If there are any domestic projects you've been putting off lately, now would be the time to handle such business with your family.

Cancer 

Your social life will be firing on all cylinders throughout the week. This energy will fill your phone, social media, and inbox to the brim with messages from your friends, family, and colleagues, and you'll need to make sure you're pacing yourself and setting aside time to decompress between interactions. 

Leo

Now is the time to prioritize the people who matter, particularly you, to make them feel special. This is also a time when you may publicly announce the future of your relationship. Do not worry; this is positive news that is coming out. It’ll elevate you to a deeper alliance.

Virgo 

Before you create limits with people, try to explain how you are feeling to avoid drama from happening or reoccurring in your relationships. You may find that a simple talk will open up the issues and heal the situation without putting much effort into understanding and ruminating over it internally. 

Libra 

You've got a wonderful week ahead of you, Libra! Many plans for your career require careful thought. Remember to stand your ground and speak your truth no matter what. The days ahead clarify these matters and allow you to step into your inner power. Knowledge gives you a leg up.

Scorpio 

No matter the dynamics of your home life, the current cosmic climate will encourage you to recharge your batteries by staying in, especially at the end of the week, when the Last Quarter Moon forms a supportive aspect of your ruling planet, Mars. You will be reinvigorated as a result. 

Sagittarius 

Be careful when setting boundaries with others, and try not to soak up everything in your environment like you are prone to do. You are be hyper-aware of the layers of what people aren’t saying out loud during this time, to the extent that it feels like you’re controlling them.

Capricorn 

The Last Quarter Moon is great for healing from past hurts, presenting an opportunity to release any pain you've been holding onto. Whether you use this week to go out with someone special or spend time practicing self-care at home, you'll need to prioritize your needs and put yourself first.

Aquarius 

Issues with friends will come into focus. It is not that you do not want to put in the effort to work at mending the relationships; you’re tired of continuously dealing with ongoing problems. It’s best to focus on yourself and what you want. Then you can make long-term decisions.

Pisces 

Taking the lead in attaining your dreams will allow you to level up and be confident in all the beautiful things coming your way. Prepare yourself for wonderful and exciting things. The best is yet to come if you believe in yourself and spend the week working towards your goals.

MERCURY RETROGRADE 2025

Astrology by: Lisa Stardust 

The last thing we need in the middle of eclipse season and Venus retrograde is for another planet to begin its moonwalk. Unfortunately, Mercury is being extra tricky this season and begins its backside on March 15 (the day after the total lunar eclipse in Virgo).

Being that this is the first Mercury retrograde of 2025, it’s going to hit hard. We are going to experience frustrations in communication — especially since Venus is retrograde in the same signs, creating havoc on the romance department and with our finances. The total lunar eclipse on March 14 and the solar eclipse on March 29 will bring repressed sentiments to a boil, making the current cosmic stew anything but digestible

From March 15 to April 7, Mercury moves back through the signs of Aries and Pisces. Internalized passions will come to the forefront of our minds and vocal cords when mercury is retrograde in Aries until March 29. After that, Mercury will be in intuitive Pisces, urging us to rely on our intuition and gut sentiments to make choices. When Mercury backslides into Pisces, it'll be hard for us to find the right words to express ourselves. Therefore, we’ll pay close attention to nonverbal communication and might easily misread tonality in texts or emails. Think before you hit send on a message in order to be clear with what you're trying to state.

As usual, be careful with technology and mindful of travel plans. Delays are likely, as well as mishaps. More importantly, watch your temper. Take a moment to cool down when mad. Be kind to others — more importantly, to yourself.

WITCH-TIPS & HOROSCOPES 3/10-15

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

Welcome to eclipse season! From here on out until the end of the month, it’s going to get intense! The week ahead is going to bring drastic changes our way. Mercury and Venus retrograde unite in Aries on March 11, urging us to speak from the heart and to be direct with our emotions. The Sun and Saturn come together on March 12, showing us the repercussions of our actions. It’s time to accept responsibility and accountability for our past decisions. The Sun and Uranus in Taurus link up on March 14, pushing us to embrace our individuality. The total lunar eclipse in Virgo occurs on the same day, heightening our desire to let go of the past. Mercury retrograde commences in Aries on March 15, allowing us to mend our hearts and resolve matters that have been plaguing our minds. As usual, watch out for miscommunications and technological issues.

Witch-tip:

Fill your bath with hot water and Epsom salt, meditate in the water, light up a candle to center your energy and release any tension gathered throughout the week so you can go back to bed feeling brand new. The eclipse wants you to restore your vitality, so any calming activity is advisable. 

Aries 

Connecting to loved ones is encouraged and brings psychological breakthroughs. You don't have to make a final decision about where they stand. Venus and Mercury’s retrograde in Aries are delaying specific actions that must be taken, but it requires you to at least plan ahead for your peace of mind. 

Taurus 

Oftentimes, you put others' needs ahead of yours and sacrifice your happiness for theirs to avoid rocking the status quo. Now is the time to reconnect with the passionate side of your personality that inspires you. No matter what anyone thinks, you must go for the gold and lean into your dreams.

Gemini 

Watch out for breakdowns in communication this weekend when the retrograde begins, creating a frenetic energy. Choose your words wisely while this energy is present, and avoid getting sucked into gossip that doesn't concern you. The less you participate in drama, the more positivity you can bring into your orb.

Cancer

Please don’t shy away from discussing your past right now, as they may benefit your romantic life and help create a deeper dynamic with your partner. It’s also a good time to do confidence-boosting activities like affirmations to heighten the way you feel about yourself and define relationships with others.

Leo

The theme of the week is self-care. Give yourself space and time to process your emotions as the lunar eclipse softens your energy. If you’re feeling anxious, connect with nature and try to breathe out the frustrations within. Grounding your mind by focusing on an object will help you decompress.

Virgo 

The eclipse will blast open your psychic ability and empathic nature. This is a great time to connect with the other side, but practicing emotional and energetic boundaries will be necessary to ensure you are not pushing yourself to the limit. Be careful in how much you give to others.

Libra 

The cosmos are forcing you to rebel and defy the norm. You'll balk against authority figures. Make sure your sassy side doesn't land you in hot water. You may feel things are outside your control this week, as this energy can make it challenging to stick to your usual routine.

Scorpio 

The week brings clarity on matters and allows you to see situations with an open heart. The world seems more apparent when you look at it from a far distance and with no judgments. If you have important news, it is time to share it with those you care about.

Sagittarius 

It would be easy to overwork yourself under this cosmic climate, so even if you feel you can push forward with your agenda, give yourself regularly scheduled breaks anyway. Excitement will come to shake up your life as the Moon and wildcard Uranus form a helpful connection during the eclipse. 

Capricorn 

On a material level, this planetary connection can help motivate you to purge your space of unwanted items, so don't shy away from compiling a box of goods to give away. The lunar eclipse will manifest in the wee hours of Friday, bringing an opportunity for abundance and good energy.

Aquarius 

The week ahead is the perfect time for shadow work to understand how you react to challenging situations. It’s perfectly fine to feel the need to spend a few hours to yourself, so make self-care a priority, in order to get your groove back and to work on healing yourself.

Pisces 

Relationships are demanding, and it feels like you’re giving 100% of yourself to make others happy. Arguments are possible if you're not careful. Try hard not to fight against the flow, as the eclipse does bring out strong feelings of vulnerability and resentments out between you and a few friends. 

The Total Blood Moon Eclipse In Virgo

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

The collective sentiment of winter 2025 is chaotic due to the political events that are happening worldwide and the astrology that propels it forward. One of the last cosmic shifts we are experiencing this season is the lunar eclipse that commences on March 13th at 11:54 PM PT and March 14th at 2:54 AM ET in Virgo. The total lunar eclipse, which is also touted as a Blood Moon due to its orange/reddish color, allows us to see things on a different scale. It will give us a more demure and mindful view of how we feel about situations, aiding us to comprehend the best ways to assert justice and take our power back. The lunation is also urging us to create daily rituals for ourselves that encourage us to focus on mending our body, soul, mind, and heart.

The eclipse connects with Mars in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and the Nodes of Destiny. However, the Sun and Moon directly aspects Uranus, urging us to break out of situations that no longer serve our higher selves. Most likely, this will be a bad habit that we’ve been trying to kick for some time or a healthy routine we want to take on (from Mars and Saturn’s presence). The caveat is that we are hesitating in the evolutionary state (due to Neptune’s fog) and wish to find unconventional ways to augment our lives. Perhaps we should start leaning into our true selves by acknowledging what is in our hearts to understand our needs and desires. Embracing our individuality allows us to be stronger and confident, giving us the ability to make the necessary adjustments that we long for in time.

The wonderful fixed star Alkes links up with the Virgo Moon, bringing a pleasant experience to the overall energy of the lunation. We won’t feel blindsighted by anything that is revealed since the lunar eclipse urges us to look within. Alkes is a beneficial star that offers us compassion and clarity about our purpose in the season of retrogrades and misinformation.

The following day, on March 15, Mercury begins its retrograde journey in Aries. The reason why this is extremely important is that the planetary ruler of the Virgo Moon is Mercury. Therefore, we will feel unsure about our emotions or unable to make certain movements during the eclipse. Remember that this isn't the time to decide about the present or future because Venus is Retrograde and Mars is in it’s post-retrograde stage. Adding Mercury's pending retrograde blends in ambiguity and distorted information. It’s hard to figure out the truth now. The best way to handle this energy is to journal our feelings because it'll help us find ways to better understand our emotions. As a result, might even come to conclusions about the past and heal old wounds.

Try to be gentle with yourself and others, as the Virgo lunar energy is releasing former issues and rehabilitating our spirit. Listen to your body and remain in the moment. Don't overthink, and trust the process. We are on the road to recovery. 

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 3/3-9

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

Mercury enters Aries on March 3, adding passion to our communication. The desire to tackle issues head on could create tension with others, so be aware of tonality and words. Mercury harmonizes with Pluto in Aquarius on the 5th, pushing us to dominate conversations. Let people share their perspectives without criticism to avoid conflict. March 6’s First Quarter Moon in Gemini lets us break free from the past by cultivating a new dynamic and vision. The Pisces Sun connects with Mars in Cancer, pushing us to grow on the 8th.

Witchtip: 

The First Quarter Moon in Gemini on March 6 is an optimal time to take a risk. Think back to the goals set during the New Moon on February 27 and try to amend them with the knowledge you learn this week. Paired together, you can transform your visions to take flight and grow into greatness. 

Aries 

The energy is high for being assertive and having emotions flare up with passion. While this week allows you to talk things out and get your points across, remember to be extra conscious and receptive to other people’s thoughts to avoid this intense energy escalating into arguments over silly drama.

Taurus 

You are moving away from impatience and into a more empathetic disposition. This allows us to understand things clearly from another person's perspective. You carry the compassionate energy and creative problem-solving skills necessary to resolve issues. Resolution and sensitivity are accentuated in the days ahead. Embrace the tenderness around you.

Gemini 

This week kicks up plenty of conversations as Mercury and Venus retrograde. Both of them, in Aries, emphasize expressiveness. The flip side is that it could instigate arguments with others. Think before putting your foot in your mouth to avoid unnecessary confrontations and issues to maintain the peace with friends.

Cancer 

Try to get in a light meditation before heading into work to have a moment of reprieve and less stress right now. This week creates a cerebral energy that may get the better of you, making it essential to ground and focus on your breath throughout the day. 

Leo 

You may feel that others are talking down to you right now or intentionally making your life difficult, so you may be forced to buckle down and push your agenda forward despite these obstacles. Give yourself a few days and try again once this resistant energy dissipates in the aether.

Virgo 

You are a soldier in your own battle. Ask yourself exactly who and what you are willing to fight for. That is precisely where you need to spend more of your time. It might even require you to cut away unwanted things and people from your life for a good reason.

Libra 

Personal relationships will have to come to a negotiation in some way. Even though you think you can, you will not be able to take on everything yourself. Be flexible and open to allowing people to help you. It’ll relieve a lot of stress and anxiety once you relinquish control.

Scorpio 

Turn on happy music and dance your worries away while decluttering your personal space. The week blasts off with a lot of energy as Mercury enters vibrant Aries, so expect a change of emotions for the better. This will be a necessary shift to get back on track with matters.

Sagittarius 

Take a moment to reflect as you come full circle. Look back on the intense personal growth the past several years have inevitably brought you and pat yourself on the back for the changes made in your life. This will give you the affirmation you need to continue your strides.

Capricorn 

Keep in mind that what worked then may not work now. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor thus far while maintaining focus on the next long-term goal. Put your passions into a plan and invest consistent effort, and you will be bound to create practical, tangible results for yourself.

Aquarius 

A relationship is based on more than one person, so be open to hearing what others say if you also want them to listen to you—this week, bringing to light past emotional baggage to allow us to heal. Do shadow work to understand how you react to challenging situations.

Pisces  

Be sure to have your dream journal ready every morning this week, as the First Quarter Moon in Gemini forms a helpful connection to communicative Mercury. This cosmic climate can bring through psychic prophecy or visions, so try to notate any strange encounters you had while wandering the astral realms.

Venus Retrograde in Aries and Libra

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

Every 18 months, Venus, the planet of love, artistry, social graces, and money, moonwalks. Venus will be retrograde from March 1 to April 12 this year in the signs of Aries and Pisces. When Venus retrograde commences, we will feel as though relationships are stalled, and it's hard to bring in lucrative investments. This energy  will be more challenging in the weeks ahead because Mercury retrograde (from March 15 to April 7 in Aries and Pisces) as well as two eclipses (the lunar eclipse is March 14 and the solar eclipse is March 29) are also happening to create more intensity within our lives. 

During Venus's retrograde, the planet switches from being an evening star to a morning star. This change makes Venus more passionate and energetic, milder and quieter than the former. On March 22, the Sun and Venus retrograde form a conjunction known as “inferior cazimi.” The alignment leads to major epiphanies about how we partner and show up for others. We’ll become conscious of our role in matters and try to fix them if we can. 

A common theme of Venus's backward march is how we feel about ourselves. We might convince ourselves that we are less than others compared to them. Rather than allow ourselves to assume we aren’t accomplishing what others are, it's essential to state daily positive affirmations to remind us that we are excellent and worthy of love. Other ways to mend our hearts are to implant self-care and practice gratitude—not to others but to ourselves. This is a time to build confidence and not let others take our shine away.

Motivation will be complex, especially when Venus backs up into Pisces on March 27. The weeks to come might make us exhausted and consumed with our emotions. It is advisable to cry and let out our innermost sentiments because it brings us one step closer to healing. We can be emotionally reborn after a monumental release that’s been building up for months. 

In terms of money, it’s best to stay on a budget. Don’t make any promises, investments, or lending agreements now. The deal could turn sour, putting us in a tight spot to get out of. When trying new aesthetics, save yourself the hassle and wait until after Venus turns direct. You do not want to get stuck with a big credit card bill and a bad haircut.  

Who will be affected? Everyone.

No matter what sign you are, the impacts of Venus retrograde are intentense. Look to the Aries and Pisces houses in your birth chart and the planets you have (if any in those signs) to foretell the personal story that will affect you. If you want to do a deep dive, check out the houses and planets in Taurus and Libra (since Venus is the ruler of these signs). 

Honor the Goddess on her day, which is Friday, by making offerings to her of roses while setting your intention. In order to receive Venus’s blessings, it’s vital to embody her spirit. Kindness and compassion can go a long way and change your future if you allow it.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 2/24-3/2

Astrology by: Lisa Stardust 

Mercury in Pisces connects with Saturn in Pisces on February 26th, Uranus in Taurus on February 27, the North Node of Destiny in Pisces on March 1, and Neptune in Pisces on March 2. All of this frenetic energy will make communication unclear and erratic. February 27’s New Moon in Pisces urges us to embrace our visions and bring them to light. Our hopes and goals can become real if we allow them to take flight during the New Moon. Venus retrograde commences on March 1st in Aries, moonwalking back into Pisces by April 12th. Interpersonal relationships and finances will be complex as we understand how to attain better circumstances for ourselves. The Sun in Pisces squares Jupiter in Gemini on March 2, boosting the New Moon energy and pushing us to think and dream bigger. 

Witch-tip: 

This week’s cosmic events are intense. It’s pivotal to slow down and realign with yourself. Focus on centering and grounding your energy.Incorporate soothing music into your routine, but add a layer of intention: choose tracks that resonate with the themes of hope and transformation. As you listen, visualize your goals taking flight. This not only helps center your energy but also aligns with the New Moon’s invitation to manifest your dreams.This exercise allows you to be connected to your body and mind simultaneously. 

Aries

The New Moon is urging you to manifest your dreams into reality. Be intentional about what you put out there, and be sure to lean into your subconscious aspirations through meditation and journaling. Channel your inner warrior, and do not let fear hold you back. The only one who stands in your way is you.

Taurus 

Stick to your daily routines, make plans, and try not to give in to anyone's demands throughout the week. It is important to execute your goals into reality through mindfulness. Paying careful attention to your emotional habits will help propel you to the next level. Keeping yourself on track is what helps you remain accountable.

Gemini 

Commit to your new professional vision and aspirations, even if you feel lost in the fog and unsure about the future. Incorporating your creative visions with your work at the middle and end of the week will give you an inkling of how to proceed with your quandary and help you find purpose and resolve.

Cancer 

There will be a need to assert your point of view in every situation to ensure that people aren’t making sweeping assumptions about us before they have all of the information. Make sure you defend your account of matters before your words are twisted. Clarity and certainty is more critical than ever throughout this week.

Leo

Releasing those that have hurt you is challenging this week. The break isn’t forever. Taking a timeout from relationships and situations that cause you stress is essential for growth. Holding on to these friendships will cause you severe emotional strain. Choose to interact with the people who lift you up rather than push you down.

Virgo 

Instead of arguing and fighting with those you love, look deep within yourself for understanding and compassion. You can heal the past if you are easy, gentle, and open minded. You must accept that everyone has flaws — including yourself; some people are better at hiding them than others. Don't criticize yourself. Give yourself some love.

Libra

Pay attention to your dreams at night. A trip in the astral plane might awaken repressed feelings and make you aware of goals that you've put on the sidelines. Take stock of what you see and learn from your visions by writing them down in a journal to note for the future when they happen.

Scorpio 

There is beauty in allowing yourself to relax and be taken care of. Plan for a fun time and see the great rewards brought to you now. This is a time to step into your power and be confident in who you are. That will make you the most attractive to all types of love. 

Sagittarius 

You are on a spiritual journey that evolves over time and connects you to higher realms of understanding. Remember this when you feel any delays, as your often inquisitive air sign might become impatient. Let the universe catch up to you and offer insights immediately. You'll be ready to hear the information at that time.

Capricorn 

This is a new realm, an entirely new era, and an entirely new way of viewing alliances. Be open to the current changes and shifts happening. You are a sensitive and caring person, so you can be the source of inspiration for society by serving others. It'll encourage you to let your amazing attributes shine.

Aquarius

Learning to balance your checking and savings plan accounts is a crucial aspect to note at this time. If there are items you don't need, part with them. Even though you wanted to make the recent purchase, it doesn't mean you can't love it without it. Trying to make returns for is the best strategy.

Pisces

You’ll feel more driven toward your career and life path. Those walking along with you on this journey will present themselves quite clearly. The catch of this energy is that you’ll also have to leave others behind. Prepare yourself to make decisions that will impact you profoundly this week as you transform your personal world.

Welcome Pisces Season 2025

Written by Bri Luna

From February 18 to March 20, the Sun will be in the enigmatic and empathetic sign Pisces. The mutable water sign is known for its escapist, artistic, and emotional views that lead them to embrace their intuition and desires. The dreamy sign has two planetary rulers: Jupiter is the traditional ruler, and Neptune is the modern ruler. This means that Pisces is constantly evolving and is a visionary.

As we journey through Pisces season, we find ourselves immersed in a world of heightened emotions and profound sensitivity. This time invites us to explore the depths of our feelings, prompting introspection and reflection on our life's direction. With the influence of Jupiter, the planet of expansion, we are encouraged to dream big and set our sights on what genuinely inspires us. Meanwhile, Neptune’s influence can lead us to explore spirituality and artistic expression, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of our place in the universe.

During this season, creativity flourishes, making it an excellent time for artistic endeavors. Whether through painting, writing, or music, embracing our creative impulses can serve as a powerful outlet for self-expression. Pisces energy encourages us to channel our emotions into our art, allowing our feelings to guide our creations. This not only helps our personal growth but can also connect us to others who resonate with our experiences.

Pisces season is characterized by a strong sense of empathy and compassion. As we become more attuned to the feelings of those around us, acts of kindness and support take center stage. This is an ideal time to engage in charitable activities or volunteer work, as the collective consciousness during this time has a desire to uplift others. By embracing connections and nurturing relationships, we can create a sense of community that is healing for ourselves and those we encounter.

However, it’s essential for us to remain mindful of the potential for escapism during this season. With such a strong emphasis on emotions, there may be a temptation to retreat into fantasies or avoid confronting difficult truths. It's important to bring a balance between honoring our dreams and facing reality. Grounding practices, such as spending time in nature or engaging in physical activity, can help us stay connected to the present moment.

Pisces season is a time of profound emotional exploration, creativity, and compassion. By embracing the energies of this mystical water sign, we open ourselves to the magic of possibility and connection. Try to take advantage of this season by diving deep into your dreams, nurture your artistic spirits, and cultivate empathy for yourself and others. As we navigate the waters of Pisces, we are reminded that our emotions are not only a source of inspiration but also a pathway to deeper understanding and connection.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 2/17~23

The Sun enters Pisces on February 18th, allowing us to enchant our lives with magic, glamour, and emotion. The Last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius on February 20th adds intensity and drama to the day since Mercury in Pisces is squaring Jupiter in Gemini. The friction will be more significant but can be remedied. Mercury harmonizes with Mars retrograde in Cancer on the 23rd. Later that day, Mars turns direct, ending the retrograde story that began on December 6, 2024. Now, we can move matters forward and take action in our lives.

Witch tip:

The Last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius on February 20 is a time to check in with your hopes and visions. If you’re finding that the road ahead isn’t open, then you should consider changing the situation to your advantage. Anoint a red candle with Abre Camino herbs or oils. Light the candle on the 20th to break down the walls standing in your way to success.

Aries 

If there are any behavioral patterns, bad habits, or personal situations you'd like to eliminate, now would be a great time to set intentions around doing so. As long as you accept your situation and lean into letting go, you'll come out of this week feeling lighter and more refreshed.

Taurus 

You may feel overwhelmed by the work you must do to realize your aspirations, but it is essential not to let the intensity get the better of you. Remind yourself that you don't have to handle every task at once, then outline a to-do list that you can reasonably tackle. 

Gemini 

Stubborn behaviors will likely manifest, so you will want to watch out for these qualities within yourself and others. Tension and frustration will hang in the air.

Cancer

Leo

Aquarius 

The cosmos are met with moments of tense resistance, and others may try to talk you out of the action you have to do. You’ll feel that others are intentionally making your life difficult, so you may be forced to buckle down and push your agenda forward despite these obstacles.

Pisces 

You're in the mood to chip away at your career goals. Even the more mundane aspects of your job should go by quickly while instilling a sense of accomplishment. Staying on task is a priority that comes easily right now, but you'll want to ensure you're taking breaks to recharge.

The Full Moon In Leo 2025

The Full Moon in Leo occurs at 5:53 AM PT and 8:53 AM ET on February 12. The Snow Moon is an extremely intense lunation that will rock our worlds and shake up the status quo, as we are experiencing our own personal revolutions.

This Full Moon creates a T-Square between the planets Mercury and Uranus. Mercury, who's in Aquarius, opposes the Leo moon and squares Uranus in Taurus simultaneously. The Leo Moon shares the same fraught aspect with Uranus. The push and pull between these three planets develops a dynamic energy that can be antagonistic, detrimental, and frustrating.

Since all three of these planets are in fixed zodiac signs, this means that they are stubborn, inflexible, and incapable of seeing another point of view or perspective. Mercury and the Moon are creating miscommunications that intensify emotions while Uranus is asking for us to be more open-minded to situations. As a result, the cosmos are manufacturing a lot of tension because we are not wanting to evolve and grow at the moment, even though the Universe is pushing us too.

Neptune and the asteroid Lilith are making minor aspects to the Moon that are setting off our repressed annoyances. Neptune in Pisces is urging us to break free of our old beliefs and become enlightened through a new path. We might not want to take the road less traveled, but it'll make a big difference in attaining our hopes. The asteroid Lilith, which is in Capricorn, has a stern and unemotional reaction to taking charge and demanding respect. We might find that insecurities come out as well as the need to be seen for our efforts. If not, then we’ll yearn to break free out of the shackles that are holding us back.

Spoiler alert: It’s our approach and visions that need to transform.

The fixed star Tianyi – 7 Draconis connects with the Moon, bringing a mixed bag of energy. Tianyi can either be destructive or beneficial. The caveat is that it depends on how we use the energy. If we use the positive attributes of the Leo Moon, then it will create generous, balanced, loving, and loyal sentiment; the flip side is that it can also allude to power struggles, arguments, and accidents. Rather than being dramatic, release aggression in a healthy way, like yoga, hiking, or meditating. The key is to find a middle ground in which we can work off of that will allow us to use the auspicious qualities of the Leo Moon.

Leo Full Moon Ritual

By Bri Luna

A Full Moon That Occurs between January 21st and February 18 will be in Leo.

Use this time for matters concerning:

• Power

• leadership

• success

• creativity

• determination

• Healing the heart and chest

"The heart region houses the power of our love. If we do not allow this to unfold, for whatever reason, then in the truest sense of the word we strangulate our heart. We have allowed ourselves to be persuaded that love is a sentimental feeling. It is not. the essence of feelings is their constant variation ; they are merely the accompanying symptoms of other things- thoughts and perceptions. One cannot build on something that is constantly altering like quicksand. Love is the thing that maintains us in life, that inspires us, that is always there- for you and for all of us. But only when it is given unreservedly, without ulterior motives, and expectations. The more one gives of it, the more there is!" - Johanna Paungger

A Full moon in Leo meditation:

Light a gold or orange candle and anoint yourself using frankincense, cinnamon or orange. Sitting in silence breath in the sign of Leo and place it into your heart center. As you envision the golden color of the sun surrounding you, allow it to fill you with courage, strength, and fire. recognize the power of your individual self by repeating the mantra: "My will is strong and my calling is to express and illuminate. I choose to express that will with love".

New Moon In Aquarius 2025

Astrology by Lisa Stardust

The first New Moon of 2025 occurs on January 29 at 4:36 AM PT and 7:36 AM ET during the Lunar New Year. A  New Moon begins another 28-day cycle (until we have the next New Moon in a different sign). It is a great time to start projects, go on a first date, or rebuild the spark within existing relationships. While all this is exciting to read, remember that “new” isn’t necessarily better. It can also bring endings because, technically, it’s a different story from the past. 

This particular luminary will bring unexpected changes our way — all of which we didn’t see coming. Rebellious Uranus is the modern ruler of the zodiac sign Aquarius, so we must note that this planet currently resides in Taurus and is retrograde until January 30. Therefore, our objectives might be slow to come to fruition.

Jupiter retrograde in Gemini is pushing the Moon to grow and expand — a sentiment we will welcome. The possibilities seem endless, even though we won’t see the results from the fruits of our labors now. The energy may bring our dreams to fruition by allowing us to manifest our visions. The caveat is that we may be uncertain about what we want to create and receive from the universe. To get abundance, it’s essential to have a clear plan. Luckily, Jupiter gives us the energy to go after our innermost aspirations. Overall, it’s a magical day in which we can shoot for the stars and land beyond our expectations in the future.

On the same day, Mercury and Pluto connect in Aquarius, adding an edge to our emotions. We’ll crave intimacy and loyalty from others, and people will require it from us. Power struggles can come into play if we decide to use control and manipulation to achieve our goals.

The asteroid Vesta, in Scorpio, squares the New Moon, bringing intensity and drama. Vesta aims to protect the home, family, and spirituality. The asteroid will fight for their beliefs. In Scorpio, Vesta searches for truth, justice, and desire. When Vesta aspects the New Moon, it’ll make a splash in trying to safeguard what we find sacred. Fortunately, the star Albali brings optimism to the New Moon, so we will have a positive outlook and experience from the information we receive. 

New Moon Ritual: Igniting Change

Find a quiet area where you can focus. Dim the lights and light a blue candle to represent the innovative energy of Aquarius.

Take a few moments to breathe deeply. Reflect on what you want to manifest in this new lunar cycle. Write down your intentions on a piece of paper, focusing on themes of freedom, innovation, and community.

Tear the paper into small pieces, symbolizing the release of limiting beliefs and patterns. As you tear, say aloud what you are letting go of.

Safely burn the torn pieces in a fireproof bowl or outdoor space, visualizing the smoke carrying away your old energy and making room for new possibilities.

Speak your intentions aloud, affirming your commitment to embrace change and transformation.

Close the Ritual: Allow the candle to burn for a while as you meditate on your intentions. When finished, thank the Universe and your guides for their guidance and support.

Opening up your heart will lead to an elevated mindset and confidence. Do this exercise everyday — especially on February 1— to ensure you're bringing in greatness and manifesting self-esteem.

Aries

You attract more bees with honey, which is why you should use your kind heartedness to assert your views. It’ll help those on the opposing side understand the errors of their ways and change their opinions. They want to be heard out — a sentiment that we‘re wanting to achieve.

Taurus 

It’s a wonderful time to embrace your unique sentiments. All of your life, you may have felt that you walked to the beat of your own drum. Now, you can live your life on your terms without caring what other people think. The same can be said about your beliefs.

Gemini  

Humanitarianism is strong, motivating you to step up your charitable game. It’s a great time to commit to a charity and help those who are in need. Giving will help everyone in society strive. Therefore, it’s time to pay it forward. Hopefully, others will be motivated to do the same.

Cancer 

The dizzying energy of the week can be illusive and intoxicating. All of the shadier elements can be avoided if you disengage from obsessive thoughts and meditate on yourself. Listening to soft music and taking a bath can shake of all of the negative and shadowy sentiments. Focus on you.

Leo 

Get off your soapbox and hear everyone out. By discussing your difference of opinions in a calm manner, you will be able to make the changes that you desire on a grand level. They may even begin to sway their views and start to see your side of the matter. 

Virgo 

Concentrate on understanding what was said by others and why before rushing to respond with a harsh retort. Should obstacles appear in your path this week, you are likely to swiftly reposition yourself and change the outcome towards one that is in your favor. Use this time as a learning experience.

Libra 

Power can be an aphrodisiac for you, as you tend to be attracted to those who are infamous or successful. But, now you are using your authoritative energy to attract others who deem you as the powerful vixen you are (not the other way around, for once in your life). 

Scorpio 

Discussing your innermost fantasies may make you blush at first, but after you let your desires be known you’ll take on a new empowered stance. Accepting your own kinks is crucial for your personal growth. Embrace your passions. No one’s judging you, but you (please do not do that anymore)!

Sagittarius 

The desire to rest and be present in your body could be an issue. To avoid feeling disconnected, take a moment to stretch or workout before moving forward. It might be hard to find the motivation to engage with such a practice, but your body and mind will thank you.

Capricorn 

This is an ideal time for brainstorming, so be sure to write down any brilliant thoughts that stream across your consciousness. This is definitely not the week to let your mind power go to waste, so make sure you're engaging with activities and people that allow you to work creatively.

Aquarius 

Your sensitive side will be supercharged over the next several days, so do your best to practice psychic self-defense and don't let others take advantage of your kind disposition.

The positive vibes will roll in, as a supportive aspect between Venus, Neptune, and the North Node of Destiny will help you open your heart, giving you the gumption to manifest your wildest dreams. Take action to ensure you're directing energy toward the important things that can further your goals.

Endless Bummer- January survival tips

Written by Bri Luna

As we navigate through January, many of us find ourselves grappling with an overwhelming sense of fatigue. The month seems to stretch on endlessly, and with the barrage of drama from news headlines…especially the political turmoil and presidential antics—our emotions can feel heightened and tumultuous. It’s no surprise that January can leave us feeling exhausted and on edge.

Why Does January Feel So Long?

Post-Holiday Transition: After the excitement and festivities of the holiday season, returning to regular routines can feel jarring. The contrast between the joyful celebrations and the mundane tasks of daily life can leave us feeling deflated.

Political Drama:The political landscape, especially during an election year, can be rife with chaos. The constant shifts in news coverage surrounding presidential debates, policy changes, and political drama can heighten anxiety and create a sense of instability.

Heightened Emotions: With the ongoing news cycle, it’s easy for our emotions to become amplified. Discussions around politics often lead to heated debates and divisive opinions, which can create tension in our personal lives and communities.

Seasonal Challenges:The winter months bring shorter days and less sunlight, which can contribute to feelings of sadness and lethargy. This seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can make January feel even longer and more challenging.

Taking Care of Yourself: Tips for Self-Regulation

In these times of overstimulation, prioritizing self-care is essential. Here are some strategies to help you manage your emotions and maintain your well-being during this taxing month:

Turn the F*cking TV Off :Set boundaries around your news consumption. Designate specific times to catch up on current events rather than allowing news alerts to disrupt your day. This can help reduce anxiety and give you space to breathe.

Practice Mindfulness and Meditation: Incorporate mindfulness techniques into your routine. Simple practices like meditation, deep-breathing exercises, or even a few moments of quiet reflection can help calm your mind and center your thoughts.

Establish a Routine:Create a daily schedule that includes self-care activities. Having a structured routine can provide stability and a sense of control, helping you cope with external chaos.

Get Creative: Find joy in creative pursuits like painting, writing, or crafting. These activities can serve as therapeutic expressions of emotion, providing a constructive way to process feelings and distract from stressors.

Connect with Community: Reach out to friends, family, or supportive groups. Sharing your feelings can lighten your emotional load and remind you that you’re not alone in navigating these turbulent times.

Gratitude:*Take a moment each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for, no matter how small. This simple practice can help shift your focus to the positive aspects of life, fostering resilience in challenging moments.

Prioritize Physical Activity: Incorporate movement into your daily routine. Whether it’s a workout, a walk, or dancing in your living room, physical activity releases endorphins that can help elevate your mood.

Make Time for Rest: Ensure you’re getting enough sleep and take breaks throughout the day. Rest is crucial for recharging your mind and body, especially during times of emotional strain.

Remember, it’s okay to take a step back from the chaos, breathe deeply, and focus on what you need to feel grounded. Let’s approach this month with resilience and self-compassion, finding ways to thrive amidst the uncertainty.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 1/20-26

January 21’s Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio, reveals information that we need to hear. The Sun creates a conjunction to Pluto in  Aquarius on January 21, intensifying bonds, relationships, and power struggles. Mars retrograde in Cancer connects with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on January 23, heightening our emotions. The same day, Mercury in Capricorn opposes Mars retrograde  and aspects Uranus retrograde, creating arguments that occur due to impatience and frustration. On the 25th and 26th, Venus in Pisces links up with Mars retrograde and Uranus retrograde, putting our passions on the forefront of our minds and hearts. Mercury sextiles Neptune in Pisces on January 26, allowing us to escape the mundane and daydream about the future.

Witch-tip: 

The Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio allows us to gain clarity on important matters. Once we process the information, we can shed the past. This will allow us to move forward and evolve. A productive endeavor during this time is to let go of what we don’t need. Meditate and journal what is essential and what is not. Light a red candle on Mars’s Day, which is Tuesday, to release the energy. Rip up the paper that lists what doesn’t serve you and throw it away as you usher in new hopes. 

Aries 

Be very conscientious in everything you do, especially if there is conflict and you’re feeling intensely about your perspectives. This week may present many challenges in keeping the peace with others, but it can be avoided if you focus your energy on the facts. With knowing what you can prove, allows you to end the week in the right way.

Taurus 

There is a desire and need for adventure and you’re likely to go to any measure to make sure it happens. The tendency to over express yourself is ample, so everyone may be competing for the floor. Try not to get into too much trouble, even if you do need to blow off a little steam at this current moment.

Gemini 

This is the best week to process and assess your emotions. Don’t forget that this is a time to evaluate situations, which means that you will begin to see matters clearly. You may be surprised about what is brought to the peripheral, as the true nature of friendships and relationships are revealed. Now, you can define partnerships and affinities clearly. 

Cancer 

Deeply buried feelings reveal themselves in a way that may not be desirable. This may be for the best because keeping them locked away wasn’t doing you any good. Secrets get revealed, maybe even surprising family secrets, but it’s all for the best if you approach this with the understanding that there will be plenty to work on moving forward.

Leo

It’s a good time to start projects and confront situations. This could also give you a dominant perspective on professional matters. You’ll enforce the rules or create new structures at work. Everyone will be focusing their energy and looking up to you. For the first time, you are making the moves and decisions necessary for attaining success in your life.

Virgo

If there has been conflict between you and anyone that you care about, this week brings the opportunity to tackle the issues in a relaxed and peaceful setting as it’s very unlikely that anyone will be in the mood to yell or get cross with one another. It’s a great time to speak up and let your feelings be known. 

Libra 

Enlightenment is coming your way this week. As you experience some of these intense astrological aspects, it’ll make you want to connect with your most intimate companions and friends. Popularity and charm comes to you naturally and it’s mainly just out of being yourself and sharing your feelings openly with others. You’ll feel more balanced having friends that support you.

Scorpio 

Emotional strength comes back and you are more like your true self again. Instincts are also back to where they ought to be so we can reintroduce ourselves to the public. This is also a good time to make decisions about the home, family life or the future. If you need a helping hand, reach out to those you trust.

Sagittarius 

Any guilt, failure, regret, flaw or other problem is going to be all consuming at this time and so it may be difficult to feel close to anyone. Hopefully this week’s transits can balance one another out enough that you can at least practice some self-care, which is highly advised — even if you do not want it right now.

Capricorn 

You’ll hear of an endeavor that doesn’t have the ability to come true. Or, you could overpromise to people. Try to be aware of the lies you tell to yourself. The biggest and most common form of deceptions are the ones we convince ourselves to believe. On the flip side, this energy could bring spiritual growth and inspiration your way.

Aquarius

This is a favorable time to tell someone how you feel about them. Also, let them know what your expectations are more clearly. Be guarded until you completely trust them, as people could see your kindness as weakness and take advantage. Walking the fine line around overbearing connections is vital because your friendliness could be perceived as an open invitation. 

Pisces

You may not be able to see how much influence the people you admire actually have over you. Be careful, make sure that they are not manipulating you. This would also be an ideal week to get a psychic reading or attend a therapy session as these could expose secrets from past lives or reveal things out of your subconscious.
