We’re trying something new this week! In this episode, I’m breaking down the astrology from Wednesday the 25th to Tuesday October 1st, transit-by-transit. We’ve got Mercury Opposite Neptune casting a veil of mental fog over the week, but thankfully, Mercury trine Pluto brings intuitive insight and psychic-level tracking skills. We finish the weekend with a burst of clarity and illuminating dialogue with Mercury conjunct the Sun on Monday the 30th, and if you have to deal with a Saturnine dilemma, the Mars trine to Saturn on the same date supports you. We begin the new month on October 1st with a Dark Moon in Virgo, the perfect lunar moment for a power purge to prep us for next week’s solar eclipse in relationship-oriented Libra.

In this episode, we talk about the moon in the birth chart by aspect to the inner and outer planets. We discuss how the moon in aspect to each planet benefits from self-care, in both theory and practice, as well as how it hints at the early developmental experience and shapes our needs, drives and instincts.

In this episode, we dive deeply into the moon in the birth chart as the primary tool for understanding our deep self and achieving a sense of internal wellness. We go through how the moon manifests in the birth chart through the lens of each of the 12 signs, and then unpack this energy by house placement. This is a long one so grab a warm beverage, your birth chart and prepare for a deep immersion into your moon!

The podcast is back! In this episode, we’re unpacking the energy of today’s Solar Eclipse and the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28th, breaking down their respective astrology and the astrology of eclipses generally. We discuss how to work with eclipses from the modern witch’s perspective as well as what their role is astrologically, and in the latter portion of the episode I teach you how to determine where these eclipses are happening in your birth chart and whether they’re forming any aspects to your natal planets.

In this episode, we discuss the technique of tapping/EFT as an emerging (and highly effective!) witch’s healing/creation/wellness tool. We discuss how to tap/why it works, how to use it in conjunction with other tools and, most importantly, why it’s worth adding to your existing toolkit.

In this week’s podcast episode, I go through the astrology highlights relevant from February 16th — March 2nd (including a thorough exploration of the Leo Full Moon, this week’s steamy conjunction of the Cosmic Lovers and a fun Uranus/Jupiter sextile!) We finish the episode with my crystal recommendations for the Leo Full Moon and a very short interpretation of Justice, which I pulled as our collective guide for this full moon.

In this episode, we dive into the Five of Swords of the tarot — comparing it to the other fives, breaking down the different ways it can show up, and discussing real examples of how the energy expresses itself. In addition to the usual interpretations, I argue that the Five of Swords is actually an important card for teaching self-love and personal integrity, and can even serve as a relationship cleanser and deepen the relationships in our lives that are worth continuing to nurture.

In this episode, I address three listener questions, including where there is such a thing as “bad” natal astrology (are any aspects or placements inherently ill-fated? Should you fear getting your birth chart interpreted?), how to tell the difference between fear or anxiety and intuition, especially after pain or trauma, AND how to deal with post-spellwork boredom or malaise, why it’s actually a GOOD thing to feel this (as opposed to anxiety or attachment to outcome) and how we can actually use our mentality and behavior post-ritual as a continuation of the magick.

In this episode, we break down the different terms which refer to manifestation (mainly, setting a “goal” versus setting an “intention.”) We discuss what these words mean and how their processes are fundamentally different, and how each approach to manifesting is uniquely powerful and preferred depending on the respective desire or area of life concerned. We then discuss HOW to set goals and/or intentions this Creation Season to ultimately upgrade every area of your life (and become a badass manifestation goddess.)

In this episode, I give my thoughts on a listener’s question of how to direct creative energy into specific projects. We talk about why I think the phrase “creative energy” is slightly redundant, whether or not creativity is something we can always access, and the ideas we develop about what our relationship to our creativity “should” look like which are often counterproductive and unrealistic.

In this episode, we talk about the six of pentacles of the tarot as the card that teaches us how to infuse our relationships and connections with integrity and intention. We unpack the pentacles of the tarot as more than money, and then discuss how the Six of Pentacles is uniquely transactional and capable of teaching us how to create systems, boundaries, routines and language with which to keep our relationship dynamics clean and fulfilling.

In this episode, we dive into the art of crafting and manufacturing questions for the tarot that set us up for responses which are empowering, rewarding, clear and actively helpful. I share a few of my favorite ones, teach you how to create your own, explore common mistakes beginners make when trying to intiate dialogue with the tarot that leave them either confused or disempowered, and we discuss why formulating empowered, specific, thoughtful and self-aware questions is actually the secret to cultivating a personalized and satisfying tarot practice.

In this episode, I give my thoughts on a wonderful question I received from a listener who wanted to know how to realistically go about cultivating a personalized, eclectic practice in the absence of any specific elder, mentor, teacher or influencer. I tackle some big points in this episode including my controversial thoughts on hereditary witchcraft and working in a coven, why I think it’s actually a blessing not to have a mentor or any living relatives who practice, how the word “witch” itself is not necessarily one size fits all and most importantly, how to maintain a sense of connection to other witches while still honoring and creating a unique and individual practice that is ever-changing.

In this episode we’re talking about how to infuse your wardrobe with magick and develop an intentional relationship with your clothing and the ritual of getting dressed. We discuss the importance of cleansing your clothing energetically (when, how and why it’s a good idea), setting intentions for particular items and outfits, how to intentionally curate a wardrobe, dressing in harmony with the moon, and how to use your personal birth chart to access your unique aesthetic. Note: I refer a couple times to an episode on color magick which I’ve decided to hold off on releasing for right now. When I do I will link to it here.

In this episode we talk about the role of Venus in the birth chart, first generally and then as she expresses herself through each sign respectively and how she interacts with the rest of the chart. Note: Sorry for the tease but I actually didn’t publish the episode I keep referring to about Mercury — it’s finished but I decided that I really wanted to release this one first. When I publish it, I will provide the link here.

In this episode, we discuss the mythology of the Winter Solstice and the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction, which marks a new Aquarian era and releases us from the grip of active Saturn energy. We finish the episode with a short discussion of the Nine of Cups, the card I pulled for the collective, and how this perfectly complements the energy of the day.

In this episode, we discuss the Empress card of the tarot as a powerful teacher of pleasure and receptiveness, values which are under-discussed and under-prioritized in our culture but are more beneficial now than ever. We talk about the Empress as a uniquely versatile energy which looks/feels different to everyone at different times in our lives, and we finish by thinking about how we can incorporate and work with her in our everyday lives for a higher quality of living.
