The theme of this month is recalibration. For some of us, that looks like doing nothing and not feeling guilty about it. For others, this might be time to get started on an important project or process. 

Ultimately, July guides us into more flow. How you do the task is as important as what you are doing. Shift your energy around the beginnings of expression: in the pause, before your mouth is opened, tune into what is most important to say. Follow the intentions of motivations all the way up to their widest mountaintop of meaning. Resistance, doubt, anxiety—all the thoughts and emotions that cause the body to tense up—need to be flushed out through the breath, mindset shifts, and movement.

Much of June 2021 could feel uncomfortable. Why? Oh, just half the solar system is retrograde, plus a solar Eclipse, no big deal. But this month can help us tune back into ourselves and center. Read your astrological Sun, Moon, and rising signs' monthly Tarotscopes to see what the themes of this month will bring you.

Boundaries are magic. This isn’t only a fact in the world of witchcraft: in our everyday life, boundaries are a must. But boundaries are not as simple as a singular choice or action: your boundaries must be tended to from the inside out. Read more to learn about the secret of boundary magic and how intrinsic boundaries can enhance your intuition. 

This new moon in Taurus is a beautiful time to focus on expanding self-worth. It has never been more imperative to fall in love with yourself. You are priceless, no matter what capitalism says.

May 2021 may feel intense even if you can’t quite put your finger on why. Generally, this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere is potent and ripe. We are reminded of the sacredness of the earth and all her life. At the end of the month, Saturn and Mercury both station retrograde, around the same time as a Supermoon Eclipse—urging us to rethink patterns and processes. Pluto is retrograde, adding to the pull to turn inwards.

May's Tarotscopes are meant to guide you, keep you focused, centered, and aligned with your truth. 

Loving yourself is loving your ancestors. Ancestral work can help everyone. Ancestral work is broad, vast, and incredibly important to any personal magical and spiritual practice. Read more about Sarah's insights and tips to connecting with your lineage and navigating ancestral work.

With so much interest in the Tarot right now, figuring out where to begin can feel overwhelming. There are odd myths, like you should never buy your own deck. (Not true!) Those of you new to Tarot might not even understand what to think about when choosing a deck. I wanted to share some great resources for looking up Tarot decks and deck reviews, and my personal tips for choosing a deck. 

April continues the start of the Zodiacal new year. This time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere resonates with fresh starts and tender, fragile buds. Protect whoever it is you are becoming. For the second half of the month, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun are in Taurus. This brings us grounded, sensuous, and stable energy around our values, what we love, and how we communicate that. Other themes of the month are: reclaiming ourselves, inner child work, protecting your desires, and growth.

Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are mere days away from the Spring Equinox. The last winter chill must be shed before we can fully thaw out and welcome growth. If you don’t feel particularly “new” right now, tune into what must be cleared away. Spend the next few days making peace with past regrets, past selves, and past lives.

March is a simultaneity of thawing out and bundling up. One step forward, two steps back. Seeds germinate in the void.
