Under this New Moon our manifestation abilities will be heightened. Be mindful of your thoughts, words, and choices at this time.
Allow your thoughts to be an expression of opportunity and hope. Shift your perspective from limitationtoabundance.
You may have to take some action… you may need to follow your instincts at this time…, and make those hard choices that stem from your intuition. Know there is cosmic support on your side.
The fire sign energyof this New Moon May heighten our emotions in general. We may feel extra sensitive, needing additional love & support from those around us or our higher selves.
In astrology, Neptune is considered a planet of inspiration, dreams, psychic receptivity, illusion, and confusion. It rules spirituality, and all things subtle … Neptune is associated with intuition and spiritual enlightenment… it is also a planet of mercy and compassion.
The more negative manifestations of Neptune include deception, trickery, deceit, guilt, and addiction…” (cafeastrology.com).
This is a time to hone your healing gifts, the zodiac’s deep-diving fish directs attention to what lies beneath the surface …
Remember that Water is life, carry a reusable water bottle with you to stay hydrated wherever you go. 71% of the Earth is made up of water. Roughly 60% of the human body is comprised of water as well…
Let your emotions flow like water. Pisces season brings us a heightened intuition, and we will be receiving a lot of ‘messages’ during this time especially. Pick up a journal and spend time letting your thoughts flow onto the paper ✍
Release old grudges. Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. The Pisces sun illuminates places where we have fallen into a negative mentality, which can inspire forgiveness & change. This is the time to ask yourself, “what did I learn from this?”.

This weekend I was blessed, I got to go to Salem, Massachusetts the witch city capital of the world. My only friend who is a practicing witch @eclectic-earth and I stayed the historical Hawethorne Hotel.
I spent close to $300 . So worth every penny I got the Witchcraft Theory and Practice by Ly De Angeles, Angelite Pendant, Chalice, ENDLESS amounts or herbs, Protection oil, Archangel Gabriel Oil, and @eclectic-earth got a beautiful piece of moldavite.
Such a blessed weekend full of the energy I needed to feel. I love Salem it will always be my home.
*Smudging is a ritual from a closed practice, please research this before buying that shell, feather, and sage bundle from 5below… stay aware!
Alternatives to smudging: smoke cleansing (literally just get incense cones or sticks!), sound cleansing (get a bell or play cleansing frequencies), deep cleaning (vacuum, open the windows, wipe everything down), and your words (declaring your space sacred & protected)!
*Support your local crystal shops, farmers markets (if the season permits), and don’t be afraid to askquestions: such as, where items are sourced!
*Now is the time to for introspection, grounding, cleansing, spending time outdoors, home cooking, self care (beyond that face mask), meditation, decluttering, reorganizing, andgrowth!
A lovely alternative to those who cannot smoke cleanse and/or who do not like to. Spray cleansing is as simple as mixing a few ingredients into Moon Water and setting the intention of ushering out negativity, exactly what smoke cleansing does.
Supplies: • Spray Bottle •Moon Water • Witch Hazel (A Tincture would work best) • Dried Lavender & Lavender Essential Oil • Eucalyptus Essential Oil • Dried Rosemary • Clear Quartz • Amethyst
Directions: In the spray bottle, add the dried Lavender, Rosemary, Clear Quartz and Amethyst. Then add equal parts Witch Hazel and Moon water until the bottle is just about full. Add a couple of drops of the essential oils before capping the spray bottle and gently shaking to combine. The longer the spray sits, the more infused the dry ingredients become with the liquids.
I know in my previous post, I mentioned finding your birth card. But what IS your birth card exactly? It’s the card in the Major Arcana that represents you as a person in tarot. In this post, I’ll teach you how to calculate that quickly by using your birthday!
1. Take your birthday and write it out as follows (for this, I’m using a random date) mm-dd-yyyy: 06 - 22 - 20 02
2. Add the numbers together as such: 06 22 20 + 02 —– 48
3. If you get a double digit number HIGHER than 22 (the number of major arcana in most standard decks), add the numbers separately again until you get a number lower than 22. 4 + 8 —- 12
So, the example here has a Birth Card of 12 which is the Hanged Man, which is the 12th card of the Major Arcana!
*Note: There are some cards that correlate to zodiac signs, elements, etc. I just gave the easiest example relating to numerology.
Every now and then, we could all use an added boots of luck in our lives. Be it for that job interview, sales for our small business, whatever the case may be. For me, luck and prosperity go hand in hand, and together they make a dynamic duo. If you need an extra boost in your current situation, try out this jar!
Supplies: ✤ Jar ✤ Basil ✤ Bay Leaf ✤ Cinnamon ✤ Ginger ✤ Green Candle
Directions: Layer all your supplies into your jar neatly, in whatever order you see fit. All the while, think positively about drawing luck and prosperity into your life. You DESERVE this after all. Listen to some upbeat music, create it in your work space, even wearing green while making it could also be a fun option. When done, seal with green wax and keep on hand either in your work space or near your front door!
Never sure what to ask your deck but you feel the urge to work with it? Here’s a small, simple list of questions to get you started:
Career: - What do I need to know most about my career? - How can I move my career forward? - Is my career the right choice currently?
Family: - What do I need to know the most about the situation with my ___ ? - What do I need to do about the situation involving my ___ ? - Is ___ holding me back from being my best?
Love Life: - How can I move my love life forward? - What do I need to know the most about my love life? - What would be the best way to draw romance into my life?
Travel: - How will the trip go? - Will I learn something new along the way? - What opportunities will arise on this trip?
Self: - What am I not seeing/What am I ignoring? - What are my strengths/What are my weaknesses? - What have I learned?
Other: - What’s trying to come forth in my life? - What blessings are being draw into my life? - What’s the best way to communicate ___ ? - Is there something I should look out for? - How do I go from ___ to ___ ?
