This week the Sun moves out of Pisces and into fiery Aries, so the major player this week is the planet Mars.  In astrology, Mars is the planet that helps us get what we want, and we need to use this energy wisely. While the Sun is in  Aries, focus on your goals, and let your ambition help you get what you truly want out of life.

The major player this week is Neptune.  It’s going to be a low-energy week with little get-up-and-go because Neptune would much rather dream and fantasize about life than live it. You may go through moments of brain fog and need to focus when making important decisions because it is easy for confusion to take over the show.

Astro Magic for March 2024

The bulk of the month is beginning the process of preparing for the astrological New Year, as the Sun moves into the sign of Aries on March 20th (5:24 PM EST/2:24 PM AM PST). 

After two months of relative astrological ease, the seeds you planted will sprout, the air will start to warm up, and the promise of a fresh start is on the way.

We have two major planetary players for the week – Mercury and Uranus. Since both Mercury and Uranus form a helpful sextile on Monday, pay close attention to the events that happen during the beginning of the week, because they may set the seeds for the overall weekly energy.

• Tuesday: Mars squares Jupiter in Taurus. High energy but be cautious of impulsiveness.
  Use the Lucky Star - Jupiter candle with the Fiery Wall of Protection spray to enjoy the energy of the day while preventing bad decisions. 
  
  
• Wednesday: Sun conjoins Mercury; both conjoin Saturn later.

• Early Week: Moon in Cancer. Emphasize self-care, family connections, and emotional nourishment. 
  Use the Love’s Enchantment candle to surround yourself with loving kindness for yourself and others.
  
  
  
• Midweek: Moon in Leo; Venus conjoins Mars in Aquarius. Romance and attractiveness are amplified.
  Use the Love’s Enchantment, Truth Serum - Mercury, and Success candles to amplify these aspects and power up romance in your life.

• Tuesday: Mars enters Aquarius; Venus sextiles Neptune in Pisces. Energies favoring self-reflection, romance, and relationship nurturing. 
  Use the IDGAF - Mars spray with the Love Me candle to nurture your critical relationships.
  
  
• Wednesday: Mars conjoins Pluto in Aquarius. A powerful aspect for transformation, but be wary of conflicts.

• Early Week: Mercury enters Aquarius, joining Pluto. A time for innovative thinking and careful communication.
  Use the Truth Serum - Mercury candle or room spray to enhance your clear communication and creative energy.
  
  
• Wednesday: Venus trine Uranus in Taurus. Ideal for refreshing relationships and adding excitement.

Astro Magic February 2024
As we enter February, we step into the Pisces season. Pisces, often misunderstood, ranges from spiritual highs to challenging lows. Following the realistic focus of Capricorn season and the communal mindset of Aquarius, Pisces season urges us to seek deeper, more meaningful experiences.

• Early Week: Mars trine Uranus in Taurus. Focus on exploring new things and taking risks.  
  Use the Needed Change/Banishing and Crown of Success candles with the Truth Serum - Mercury room spray to turn the risk of new things into solid success.
  
  
• Midweek: Moon in Libra, emphasizing balance and creativity. Late Tuesday, Moon enters Scorpio, intensifying emotions. 
  Use the Calm Blessed Herbal oil with the  Needed Change/Banishing candle to traverse these emotional days with minimal upset
  
  
• Friday: Mercury sextile Neptune in Pisces. Heightened intuition and spiritual focus. 
  Use the Truth Serum - Mercury candle or room spray to keep the intuition heightened with the understanding of what the universal truth of the situation is.
  
  
• Weekend: Continuation of Friday's spiritual and intuitive themes.

The final week of January once again features a plethora of aspects, mainly during the weekend. The good news is that unlike last week these aspects are mainly favorable.

The week starts with Venus moving out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn. While Venus is in Capricorn, it’s important to remember that this is not a time for fleeting flings and quick romances.

We start the third week of January with a lovely aspect between the Sun and Neptune. The Sun sextile Neptune makes you receptive and empathic towards those around you. You may be called upon to help someone in need, and this is the perfect time of the month to do charitable work, make donations to a food pantry, or get rid of clothes you no longer need.

We start the second week of January like we started the first week with a difficult aspect. This week, Mercury forms a tense square to Neptune in Pisces. Since Mercury went direct last week any unresolved issues or communication  problems that have not been resolved may resurface, especially those that occurred around December 21st.

Aquarius Season

In 1969, the American pop group, the 5th Dimension, released their fourth album called “The Age of Aquarius.” Here is an example of the lyrics from the title track: 

“When the Moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligned with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will rule the stars.

Happy New Year! All the energy this week happens during the first half of the week beginning on Monday when Venus squares troubling Saturn in Pisces. Venus square Saturn can make you feel isolated, lonely, and depressed, and can  lead you to review your relationships to see if your needs are currently being met.

The final week of the year brings us six major aspects (Venus trine Neptune, Mercury square Neptune, the Sun trine Jupiter, Mercury conjunct Mars, Mars square Neptune, and Venus sextile Pluto), a sign change for Venus, and Jupiter turns direct in Taurus.

We start the week with Venus forming a beautiful trine to Neptune in Pisces.

The last two weeks of the year are filled with non-stop cosmic action, so buckle your seat belt!  

We start the third week of December with an aspect that we encountered earlier in the month, Mercury trine Jupiter in Taurus. Ordinarily, Mercury trine Jupiter is about planning the future.

The second week of December starts with a lovely sextile between Mercury in Capricorn and Venus in Scorpio. Mercury sextile Venus is a favorable aspect that promotes harmonious communication, creativity, and social interactions. During this time, individuals can express themselves creatively, improve communication skills, socialize, pursue love and beauty, learn something new, and make financial decisions. Whether it’s through artistic expression or enhancing relationships, the energy of this aspect encourages productivity and harmony in various areas of life. So, make the most of this aspect by indulging in activities that bring joy, strengthen relationships, and enhance personal development.

Midweek, brace yourself because Mercury turns retrograde in Capricorn. Before Mercury turns retrograde, make sure you back up your computers and phone, finalize any plans, and clean up existing communication issues. Otherwise, after Mercury ‘retches’ out, expect communication issues, difficulties expressing yourself effectively, and plans to go awry.

This weekend, expect storm clouds to roll in as the Sun forms a difficult square to Neptune in Pisces. The Sun square Neptune is a low energy aspect that will dampen plans and cause considerable confusion.  You may be plagued with self-doubt over the weekend. It’s best not to take on projects or participate in activities that require focus and determination, because this may trigger your insecurities further.  Also, avoid shady individuals, because they will likely take advantage of you if they can.

Astro Magic December 2023

The month of December brings us Capricorn season, which begins on Winter Solstice (December 21) and continues until the Sun moves into Aquarius on January 19th.

Capricorn is an earth sign that is concerned with taking charge, being ambitious, striving for success, and focusing on things that matter.

We start the first week of December with Venus moving through Scorpio.  Now is the perfect time to take control of your financial future and unleash your creative spirit. The intense energy will fuel your passions and allow for deep self-expression.  But it’s not just about external success – it’s also a time for inner growth.
