And once lured in by the sacred stillness, you come face to face with Scorpio's mirror. What do you behold?

Feel free to chime in!

Last month's full moon was a long awaited chance to sigh in relief. Today's full moon is full of a quiet sacred weight. The kind you can't help but feel during the witching hour when in the stillness of the night all you need to do is breathe and be. The magic is already all around you and within you.

Can you feel it swelling within you? What will you do with the fire that won't be tamed? What will you do with the waters that call you deeper? Spread your once-wounded wings and fly to the heights. The roots you've tended to aren't going anywhere. You'll always have a place to land.

The week of May 12-16 We start the week with Untamed Energy, Creativity, & Hope The Ace of Wands is an inventive, creative card suggesting some sort of passionate union, good news, or a powerful & inspiring new beginning. It may take the form of a new phase of life, a new enterprise, a new project, or a new source of inspiration. Be courageous & “go for it”; whatever “it” means to you. Harness the positive, optimistic energy you’re feeling & channel it for your highest good. 💚 At work, be bold & ask for what you want. You will likely be more successful than you imagined 💙 In relationships, this Ace indicates a new beginning. This could mean a new depth or a fresh start. Express yourself openly and honestly to achieve the best outcome 🧡 Ace of Wands heralds a time of innovation, enthusiasm, & hopefulness. Anything you start with this energy, will succeed beyond your hopes & expectations. With so much possibility, what will you begin?

MIDWEEK we have Fulfillment, Abundance, Sensuality Ruled by Venus, the Empress is intuitive, sensual, & sexual. She is a creator of opportunity, art, life, & abundance. She is a gifted & creative problem solver. She indicates similar energy in you so, don't be surprised if people are more attracted by your creativity, your wisdom, your humour, or your sex appeal, today. She speaks to a need to listen to your intuition, & give priority to your emotions & passions. 💚 People will be more likely to be inspired by your ideas & passions so let your inner voice guide you on how to proceed.

We approach the WEEKEND with Initiative, Attention, Skill This Page brings good luck, & good news of a change in the tedium of your routines. This Page is trustworthy, practical, & unafraid to embrace a world of physical pleasure. As a person or a portent, it represents intelligence, diligence, & focus; even if the task is tedious. Apply this before indulging any urges to 'shake things up'. Excitement can be created without also creating drama. If you’re feeling a need for attention, be honest about how you feel.

💚 In work it speaks to buckling down. The task at hand is mundane & the timeline is tight; this is splitting your focus and cutting into your timeline. Focus & you will find the time you need 💙 Whether you are single or not, the idea of love may be boring or lacklustre, today. This could be due to that stuck feeling or it could indicate a need to release some ties of the past (an ex for example). Whatever the cause, be sure to be honest with yourself & others about your feelings if/when you share them 🧡 Regardless of whether it speaks to excitement, tedium, or practical restraint, the Page of Pentacles heralds an end to whatever rut you’ve been feeling. Let passion meet initiative; finish the task at hand, & then go play!

Gus an ath thuras (Until next time), darlings Go, Do, Be Peace out

Think It Through

Thursday - May 8, 2025

Later today Jupiter will move to 23° Gemini. 23° is a grand master Gemini ruled degree, and is even more powerful given that it is in Gemini.

Add to this 23° the mass of Jupiter and for several days you get the opportunity to think deeper and more profoundly than normal. It's a period of time where you can train your brain to operate differently. Literally, it's a time where you can create new neural pathways in the brain. If you're more left brained it can help you tap into your right brain, and vice versa.

But to take advantage of this potential growth you've got to actually USE your brain. For the next five days ENGAGE your brain by reading more, trying to solve complex puzzles, starting to study a new language, or listen to deep documentaries or podcasts.

The point is to "push the limits" a little bit. Don't use this valuable time just doom scrolling on social media. Expand your brain during this time of expansion and you can add new ways to how you think, and ultimately to how you solve life's little mysteries.

Victory

Tuesday - May 6, 2025

It feels a little odd to be on the other side of "victim." After years or decades of automatically reacting to triggers, to let one go by still takes some getting used to. I had to do that recently, and I must admit it is taking me some time to acknowledge that I did, AND to proceed forward with the new information this revealed.

I suggest you will experience the same thing today as Venus in Aries will sextile Pluto (retrograde) in Aquarius, and Mercury that is also in Aries conjuncts Chiron at 24°.

Unless you believe in your healing neither will the world.

If you don't demonstrate your healing, YOU won't believe it.

And if you don't SPEAK and THINK in healed ways, that old trigger will find some way to get right back into your head.

Believe, think and speak as the victor today. Because the victim is long gone.

[magicinthetrees]

if i am saying “drive safe” to you it is not a wish or command btw. i am casting a spell. Get fucking cushioned and shielded and protected idiot

[magicinthetrees]

I think I am becoming a villain. And that's okay.

CUBE 1

The focus: Balancing opposites

It's very straightforward and direct. Your deepest self yearns to express itself openly, without masks or veils. You will find authenticity through the words you say and the beauty you cultivate. Your identity is not meant to stay in one place, stagnating but to constantly evolve, transform and refine. This can be expressed through your thoughts, your physical appearance, as within so without. Kind words and self-love go a long way. You're here to learn the way of being independent, of self-authority, standing up for yourself without being selfish.

Life's various responsibilities, the burden of being and existing, the confusions of bonds. Those are the forces that pull you in many directions, away from a simple truth: yourself, the one you've built, the one you are, the one you want to be. The moment you can be at peace with yourself will be the moment you've arrived at home, inside you.

The obstacle: You tend to lose yourself in the connections with other people. The sense of self is dissolved by the desire to connect with the other person. You might find yourself morphed into various identities with each connection. You're one person in one relationship, but you're a different person in another relationship. Relationships shape your identities. There would be a point when you're confused about who you really are, without other people. This is a challenge for you, to find your sense of self outside the connections with people. To have a stable core no matter what relationship you're in.

The gift: Your obstacle is also one of your gifts. You have the talent to connect and understand people. Navigating relationship dynamics come naturally for you. Negotiating, harmonising, understanding. So use this gift to understand yourself too. To see yourself, standing alone, independently and connect with that person. You can be with other people without sacrificing your autonomy and independence.

The guide: Find out what can spark your joy and what makes you want to act, what are you wishing for. Write them down and see the pattern, the interconnection between them. The fastest and safest path to your soul is to constantly seek expansion of your mind. If you're feeling lost, trust in your intuition and the signs given to you at the present moment. You heard someone mentioned a book, a movie, a place? You suddenly get a desire to learn something? You might want to note them down and try them for yourself. Hidden treasures of knowledge are always just around the corner. And through these seemingly random encounters, you've already been treading on the path to your soul.

CUBE 2

The focus: Freedom of creativity & uniqueness

You have a powerful presence that can touch people in a subconscious way. There's a light, a force that is constantly swirling, rolling, unfolding. The question is, how can that light exist among the sea of people without blinding others or without dimming itself? A star is bright and blinding when someone looks at it alone and closely, a star is also bright but its light is gentle and it dances on the cosmic tapestry when it exists together with other million stars on the sky. Together, they create a picture of the universe in harmony.

The path to your soul is not a lonely path that you go alone, it's a merry one with people from all different corners of the world going together, some will go away after a while, some will stay with you till the end of the journey. You will find yourself in the crowd, in the people around you, in the distant dream for an ideal world. How do you connect with people without fusing yourself with them? How do you stand apart but still be a part of something? How do you give to the world and grow in the process?

The obstacle: There's a hidden fear inside you. It's about the loss of the self, the disappearing into the mass. Order, stability and the concrete are desired. You have a lot of hidden force within you. If repressed, it can result in general resentment and anger directed at the world at large with no particular target.

Struggling to find motivation can also be a big obstacle. You need to find the roots of that struggle. Is it because it's hard to be motivated when you can't find the meaning for it? It's hard to act when you can't see the direction ahead clearly? Everything needs a meaning and a purpose. Without them, mobilising your incredible pool of energy will be difficult.

The gift: You have the gift of creativity, creating things for the world and creating your own self. You're like a sun that gives life and shines brightly. Expressing your individuality is an impulse that cannot be overridden. So wherever you go, people notice you, they will applaud you light. use this gift to bring light into other's life, help them find the courage to shine brightly like yourself.

The guide: Delve into the realm of your fears and the unknown. The more clearly you see them, the calmer it will feel. Embrace the mystical parts of life. There are certain things that can't be completely understood by just sitting down and thinking about them in practical terms. Sometimes, letting go and just observing is more effective.

There is a connection between the path you choose to go and the influences of the collective. No matter how much you deny those influences, they are still there, lying dormant in your deeper self. It's the force that keeps you connected to everyone, the sense of belonging. If you have the desire to stand apart, to not be drowned in the sea of the collective, understand that you have enough power and strength to swim gracefully alongside others.

CUBE 3

The focus: The lightness and feeling of safety

Building a home for yourself, for your soul, is what you're called to do. I see the image of someone dragging their feet through a storm, they are exhausted, all they're searching for is a shelter, a place for warmth and rest, a place to stop their weary feet. The burdens of life weigh heavily on your shoulders. There might be a time when you want to escape, to let go, that's when you need to grasp at something to anchor yourself back to the reality of life. Life can be heavy and demanding, but you can navigate it in a simple and calm manner. You may have dreams you want to fulfil, aspirations to achieve, big things to expect but at the end of the day, a safe place, a calm mind and a rested body maybe are all you really need. There's a need to strip back to simplicity and find enjoyment in your own world.

The obstacle: You might project a certain assertiveness and a competitive image to the world. But it's a cover to hide your deeper feeling. The more vulnerable you feel, the harder you tend to fight. The more confused you're about your own self, the more likely you're to chase worldly achievements without a real sense of satisfaction. This discrepancy between your inner self and your outer self will hinder your sense of peace. There's a need to find a way to communicate yourself clearer, with more coherence to the story.

The gift: You have the gift of the gab, expressing ideas and convincing other people. Your mind works in a lightning fast manner, gears constantly turning, information flows indefinitely, ideas churned out like a blinking light. You understand things instinctively, sometimes making logical leaps to arrive at the answer, making mental shortcuts. This gift can help you sail through life more smoothly and help you get out of sticky situations, which usually are the results of your expression of assertiveness or anger.

The guide: Taking small steps towards your soul in a slow and steady manner. No need to rush and worry all the time. Everything is built from the culmination of small efforts.

You will find the guiding arrows through listening to your body, to feel the concrete body of yours, the pains that arise in different place, the warmth feeling in the stomach, the hands getting cold, the electricity running through your spine, all those sensations. Don't ignore them. They help you to feel more alive, and they call you to take more care of your body. Without a healthy body, how can you live and go after your goals?

Humility is another guiding arrow. No matter how much knowledge and wisdom you have, there's always something to learn from others, assume the role of a student and try to listen. Challenges might only appear when you refuse to open your mind and learn.

CUBE 4

The focus: the potentials of transformation

I see the image of someone standing from afar, looking tentatively at the vista before them. They want to go towards it, to see for themselves is there a deeper wonder to this life that they haven't known of. The call is ever louder and more tempting each day.

There's still a distance between them and the vista, but they are looking in the right direction. Now, they just need to figure out how to close the distance. They need the courage to take the first step. They can see the rewards, they can also see the hardship. But turning away is not an option anymore. There's so much more to see, so much potential to grow.

The obstacle: I think deep down, you've already figured out the path you need to go, you just need a little nudge because of the uneasiness in knowing what needs to be done to go towards that path. It will require changes, it will require you to discard things you might have held dear in the past but are no longer serving your growth. And it all starts from the mind. You might not like to think too much about the future, the bigger plan for your life, prefer to stay in the details of your surroundings. Maybe you feel that it's never enough, you don't have enough experiences or skill, you don't have enough resources, you don't have enough visions. Which is not true. You are ready to take the plunge, much like the Fool in the Tarot.

The gift: You already have an instinctive understanding of the world around you. Learning comes naturally for you. Your deposit at the bank of knowledge is getting larger everyday and will spill over if you don't use them. The door that can lead you to the path forward is your mind. Use your mental energy to figure out the steps instead of over analysing and excessive worrying.

Putting your voice out into the world, make a statement, make a commitment to your goal, and you will be surprised how far it can take you.

The guide: If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of work that needs to be done in order to have the life you want deep down. Start small and build steadily. The word "transformation" may sound dramatic and scary, but micro-transformations happen at every moment. Grab hold of the visions floating in your heart and mind and hold them steady, study them, don't mystify them, bring them out into the mundane by backtracking the steps leading to them. You see the farthest step, then backtrack until you arrive at where you are now. Start with doable things, and gradually, you will find that a lot more are doable for you.

I grew up in a very christian household and, as such, had envisioned the way my life would be from a young age based on certain principles.

I am now firmly in my thirties and so much has changed and not worked out the way I thought it would. I really struggled with this through my 20s and still do to an extent.

But it's hitting me now as I sit on my couch enjoying my Sunday the way I want. I'm enjoying this moment right now. And that is so very much.

This pink full moon hasn't felt like a breakdown, which, considering the last several full moons is a chance to catch my breath.

Neither Hell Nor Utopia

Sunday - March 30, 2025

I really don't know where to start with today's transits because there's so much. Let me do this in the most "bite size" way I can.

At 8am ET this morning Neptune entered the sign of Aries, where it will stay until the end of October 2025. The last time Neptune made such a "bold" entry into Aries was April 1861, two days after the start of the American Civil War.

Yesterday was a partial New Moon Solar Eclipse at a very potent Aries spot, 9°. Given that the Sun and Chiron are also in Aries, we are very much in what Aries represents: power, movement, ego, self-leadership, pioneering, leading the way, and even force and destruction.

Many say this period of time is going to bring destruction, others say utopia. I say NEITHER, but it IS brining a new level of consciousness for those who are ready. How do you know if you're ready? Because when you read that sentence you knew I was talking about YOU.

While other astrologers will be talking about the "portal" this is opening, I say the portal has been open for a while now. It's just that today you see it more clearly, and see that you've been in this space for a while now.

As to today, there is a 10-hour Aries Moon Void of Course that ends at 4:15pm ET when the Moon moves into Taurus. Stay low, don't make major decisions, respond and not react during this time. If you're feeling tired or a bit "displaced," that's okay and just go with it.

And continue doing your work. If you haven't been doing your work (and only you know what that is), then start doing it. What the hell are you waiting for?
