This full Moon shines a light on both Virgo and Pisces. Virgo is a mutable earth sign, dedicated to getting down to the details. Ruled by Mercury, one would assume this particular full moon is intense to Mercury's current retrograde in the opposite sign, Pisces. Both signs symbolize the "pause and reflect" in the zodiac. While Virgo is more likely to come up with the crisis that Pisces heals, this lunation may bring up an area of your life where you feel its time to "clean house" (figuratively or literally). This is a time to be in touch with reality and seek

We’ve got quite a bit of ground to cover this month astrologically. Some of the biggest news of the month is after several long years, Saturn will be briefly changing signs. Since the winter of 2017, Saturn has been in its home sign of Capricorn. It’s safe to say the last several years have been some heavy and obstacle-ridden times. However, Saturn is the planet that rules Capricorn, and when Saturn leaves a sign, he leaves a...

Almost all ATRs are earth-based religions, meaning: communing with, worshiping, and having relationships with natural elements like mountains, bodies of water, plants, and animals. These elements and energies are built into most ceremonies, events, and gatherings — A constant reminder that our connection to the Earth is sacred and to be honored with reverence. In addition to sharing a broad and diverse system of Earth magic, almost all ATRs share two other tenants: Honor the God/Goddess...

Aphrodite is truly a deity of passion in both it’s creative and destructive capacities, and if you know anything about ancient Greek culture, you know that they adored a dramatic Goddess. In fact, the Greeks loved Aphrodite so much that they dedicated a whole festival to her every year known as Aphrodesia. This of course leads us to the word, Aphrodisiac, which is traditionally a food, drink or drug which stimulates sexual desire, but can be just about anything which serves to awaken the sensual appetite, which is essentially Aphrodite’s superpower...

Love Spells are some the of most sought after and popular requests when it comes to magic ritual and guidance. Whether it be a return-to-me spell, attraction, fertility, or self-love; Throughout the ages nothing has as much staying power as a good ole love spell. For this reason there’s an almost infinite number of ways you can call in the frequency of love using magic (ritual, intention, and action). Each culture or tradition has it’s own methods for attracting love. As with all magic, your intention and focus is everything. Since it’s not practical for me to give multiple different love spells here I will focus on a general love spell, to which you can add or subtract at will. This spell is broken down into three parts...

Now that we’ve made it through January’s intense period of eclipses, it's safe to say that this month is going to be a bit calmer. The month kicks off with mercury entering into the watery sign of Pisces. This is likely to bode well for the minds of poets and artists. For those of you in a creative workspace, you will enjoy this transit. However, mercury in Pisces tends to focus more on the emotions rather than the words. Come mid-month on the 17th mercury will go retrograde for three weeks until March 10th of this year. Mind you; the shadow period can be felt roughly a week prior. I find a retrograde through Pisces to be much more challenging than some of the other signs. Watch out for

The word “Aquarius” comes from Latin meaning “water-carrier, water-pourer.” Its astrological symbol represents water, but looks like an electrical jolt. And rightfully so—Aquarius connects us to energies of originality, eccentricity, freedom, radical expression, and epiphanies of all sorts. It craves innovation and orients us to the future and what is possible. When sparked it catalyzes creativity, new insights, or exciting novelty. Activated Aquarius energy in our society spurs...

Shiva is a complex Hindu Deity whose identity is inseparable from the Hindu Trimurti (or trinity) of Gods, composed of Brahma as Creator, Vishnu as Preserver, and Shiva as Destroyer. In that they are a trinity, neither of them is exclusively bound to the actions their names would imply, and instead each acts as a mask of inertia upon the stage that is life. The role Shiva plays in the game of life is that of a juggler who effortlessly balances the opposing forces of creation and destruction, asceticism and procreation, stillness and dancing, order and chaos. There are myths that...
