Ostara is the next pagan sabbat in the Wheel of the Year, and is marked by the Spring Equinox, which coincides with the start of Aries season. This year the Sun will move into the sign of Aries at 11:06pm ET tomorrow, Tuesday, March 19th. The history of each modern celebration is unique, because the Wheel combines both lunar and solar celebrations rooted in ancient (often euro) pagan cultures. On...

There’s lots to chat about this week! Venus moves into its exaltation in Pisces today at 5:50pm ET, and from now until it moves into Aries on April 05, our aesthetics are on point, we’re valuing what matters most, and we have the ability to just “get” each other without having to say or explain anything. This coming weekend is March 17th, or St. Patrick’s Day, and if you’re not already aware, ther...

The new moon in Pisces will be here on Sunday March 10th , and you might find yourself feeling pulled by an ethereal thread into the dream realm, into fantasy, esoterics, and the mystical. This deep-feeling energy can be natural and desirable to some, while others may find it a heavy dense void. There’s so much mystery that surrounds Pisces, and yet, the key to its secrets is something every singl...

This week on Tuesday-Wednesday we have a 33-hour long void of course moon ☁️🌜💤 But if you’ve never heard of this before, you’re probably saying, “uh what now..?” So today on Moonday Musings we’re going to talk about what it means to be under a void of course moon in astrology, what to be on the lookout for, some common misconceptions in the astrological community, and what a void of course moon...

What does it mean to cleanse the energy in a space or of a person? When are do you know you’re supposed to do it? What’s the point of it? And how can you do it?

A fresh season of Pisces has officially begun, which means the sun has moved into the dreamy, imaginative sign of Pisces. Saturn’s already been hanging out there for about a year, and this week Mercury will also join in, and start its own new chapter in Pisces as well. We also have our full moon in Virgo this weekend, bringing some earth energy to the party. Today’s episode of Moonday goes into th...

This week Mars and Venus each will respectively enter Aquarius and form an embrace with Pluto, who is waiting at the gates of the Aquarian landscape. At its most basic, we can deduce this to be a time of great transformation—but in what way? And how can we open ourselves up to Divine rebirth? This week on Moonday Musings I want to exemplify another way to interpret the messages of the cosmic weath...

I had a strong feeling it was the right day for a nice, full tarot reading for Moonday, and then our messages for this week quite literally leapt out for us haha. As Mercury, Mars, and Venus each respectively end their cycles in Capricorn and begin new chapters in Aquarius, one-by-one they will engage in a full embrace with Pluto, who will be staying in the early degrees of Aquarius for the next s...

If you’ve scrolled through WitchTok or any side of the witchy social media space, chances are you’ve heard someone say, “You need to do your shadow work!” But not a lot of people are talking about what that actually means . Recently I was asked by several of our neighbors what tips I have for anyone who’s never done shadow work before. This is something we’ve chatted about in a previous episode of...

What a weekend! Astrologically speaking. Saturday was full of shifts—the moon moved into Gemini, the Sun moved into Aquarius, and so did Pluto. It’s not quite all about Aquarius though, and this week we’ll see Venus join Mercury and Mars in Capricorn where we may find some real flow of efficiency, and opportunity to cross some big tasks off our list. All of this combined with our upcoming Leo Full...

The much-anticipated death witch episode…! This is one branch of magick particularly difficult to encapsulate into one episode (so maybe there will be more?!) but I really tried to offer my best explanations and advice for anyone feeling intrigued by and called to this sacred path. Death witchcraft and death magick are not evil practices, their work is centered around honoring one of our most divi...

We’re getting up to a couple of things in this episode. For one thing, we need to chat about this Pluto in Aquarius business because you are sure to see it talked about everywhere. Aquarius season is arriving, and this year it is joined by a massive Plutonian—therefore generational—shift. And finally, I'm giving you homework. Yep. Because late Monday evening the Moon will move into Aries, beg...

I started this week feeling instantly stressed and was totally scattered from the weight of New Years expectations. Then I was able to directly face it, work through it, receive clarity, and move forward with easy focus and peace—something I’ve been working for years to be able to do. Today I’m going to share with you the quickest and easiest thing you can do BEFORE you take your deep breath and t...

When I first embraced myself as a witch, I really struggled with the whole idea of Christmas. Was I doing something wrong by celebrating it? Was I being a hypocrite by singing Christmas carols about Jesus? Did this mean I wasn’t really a witch after all? If you’re feeling any of this confusion yourself, today’s Moonday Musings is especially for you, neighbor. All you need is 15 minutes of your tim...

Better make it count! This week's Sagittarius New Moon is the last one of 2023, and it is followed by a Mercury Retrograde cycle that will take us allll the way to 2024. With the energy this time of year, the expectations vs the reality, the pressure to perform and do it all with a big smile on your face- it turns most of us either into hyper overdrive or into a total freeze state.   →  Liste...
