Happy New Moon, Witches 🌑

The Sun and Moon align in the constellation of Capricorn. There is a call for stillness. Nature has retreated. Trees are bare and the animal kingdom rests in hibernation. For those attuned to astrological cycles and seasonal shifts will recognize this period as a significant marker 🏔️

Since Aries season, our journey has been ascending. Each phase has lifted us higher with intention and effort. Now, in Capricorn’s domain, we arrive at the summit.

This peak reflects our personal achievements. Like the Sea Goat, we have climbed through challenge and uncertainty. The work has been demanding. And now, having reached the top, we are allowed to pause. We do not climb a mountain only to turn around immediately.

From this vantage point, we honor what it took to get here. We acknowledge the hardships endured and the strength cultivated along the way. What remains is wisdom, hard earned. This pause clears the mind and creates space to reflect, not only on where we have been, but on what comes next.
From the view of the summit, we begin to understand the descent. In the next season of Aquarius, we will share what we have learned, pouring insight back into the collective and the generations that follow. In Pisces, the end of the zodiac, we soften our grip. We release.

Seen through the lens of the human life cycle, Capricorn represents the elder. The silver strands at the crown of our heads are symbols of experience and time. Snow capped mountains mirror this same truth. They stand firm, shaped by years of weathering, carrying the quiet authority of endurance and knowing.

Mercury in Retrograde 11/9 🌬️🖤Witch Edition

This weekend is a good time to tend the spaces where communication lives. Clean your phone screen, back up your files, delete old messages, and close the tabs that are pulling your attention in too many directions. Create room to focus 👁️

Place a small bowl of water where you speak the most as a reminder to slow down.

Pause before responding.
Ask for clarity when needed.
Speak simply and directly.
Give others time to process.

This doesn’t need to be a deep overhaul, just some gentle clearing to make a little more room for your thoughts and words to move easily.

Full Moon in Ta**us 🌝

Work with this moon through your hands and your senses. Build an altar that connects you to both earth and shadow with soft fabrics, soil, crystals, dried herbs, a bowl of salt or clay, and a scented candles.

Write down what drains you and what sustains you.
Then choose your act of release.
Bury your words in the earth and let the soil transform them, burn them in the candle’s flame,
or move and sway until your body remembers it is free to take up space.

Let the moonlight reveal what has been hiding. Let her draw it to the surface, slow and steady, until the release feels like relief.

What we unearth in the dark must be felt through the body before it can be released.

The magick here is embodied and unhurried.

Scorpio season is for the ones who have learned to begin again, and again, and again….

Scorpio reminds us that life itself is the great mystery. It’s a constant spiral of becoming, shedding, and being reborn.

To honor every version of yourself is to honor your own magick.

Scorpio Season 🦂🌞 Welcome to the depths.

When the Sun moves through Scorpio’s mysterious waters, it is a time of shedding, of truth-telling. Scorpio wants the whole story, even the parts we hide from ourselves. Where Libra taught us harmony, Scorpio seeks brutal honesty.

The Scorpio glyph resembles a scorpion’s tail ♏️
But its got a bad reputation, the scorpion is not aggressive. It waits and watches. It feels. It only strikes when threatened. It mirrors what you bring. Approach this sign with respect and you’ll find depth and loyalty. Come with chaos, and you may meet its infamous sting 🦂✨

Scorpio is Fixed Water. Fixed signs sustain. Water feels. Together, they form the emotional undercurrent that cannot be ignored. Scorpio waters are dark and still. Think deep dark lakes and swamps.

Scorpio water teaches us to hold intensity without running away. It’s scary to see the darkest parts of ourselves, even for a witch! When Scorpio is balanced, it is brave enough to feel it all. The intense rage, fear, desire, grrief, all of it, and wise enough to hold it without judgment.

This is the realm of transformation. Death and rebirth and power reclaimed.

But when Scorpio becomes fearful, it can turn cold or controlling. It may withhold, manipulate, or sting before it feels safe. The lesson is vulnerability. The medicine is trust.

Scorpio reminds us that to be seen in our truth is the most intimate act of all 🙌

Blessed Scorpio Season Witches 🖤

🕯️🪞🕯️Beauty is a spell you cast each day through how you tend to yourself and how you honor your own reflection.

To create an altar to your beauty is to remember that you are worthy of devotion.

The new moon is a beautiful time to refresh your altar. Clear away what feels stale. Add new objects that reflect who you are becoming. Let this ritual mark your own, quiet renewal

Begin by gathering objects that bring softness and self-admiration within you. A shell that reminds you of your cyclical nature. Candles to warm the space with light. A photograph of yourself as a child. Flowers in bloom. Love letters. A lipstick that makes you feel beautiful.

Arrange each piece with intention. Let your hands move intuitively. There is no wrong way.
This is not vanity. This is reverence. You are art in motion.

Join me in stories later, I’ll be refreshing my vanity.

Happy New Moon Witches 🖤

When the Full Moon rises in Aries, lunar light meets cardinal fire 🔥 🌕

Aries Moon asks, Who am I? Libra Sun answers, Who are we?

Full Moons are mirrors, and this one reflects the dance between personal freedom and shared harmony.

This is a good time to look honestly at your connections. Which relationships leave you feeling nourished, and which ones quietly drain your energy? Let this Full Moon illuminate where your attention flows. Let it show you where to pull back, and where to reinvest 🙌

Each lunar peak invites a check-in with yourself. The Moon represents our emotional nature and the shifting tides of feeling and instinct. When she aligns within a constellation, a portal opens and it’s an opportunity to see into the hidden corners of your own heart.

The Moon will rise whether you join her or not.
But when you do, you just might remember what it feels like to move in rhythm with your own light.

The Magick of Water ✨🌊

Water takes many forms, each carrying its own power, but these words are only a guide. The real magick is in listening to your own current, trusting your intuition to tell you how and when to work with it.

How do you invite water into your magick?

The ones meant to see the magick always will
