The Aquarius New Moon & Solar Eclipse: The Fire Horse Architect of the Future

The cosmic clock is striking a powerful chord on February 17th, 2026. This is no ordinary lunation; we are standing at the intersection of a Total Solar Eclipse, the Aquarius New Moon, and the electrifying arrival of the Lunar New Year: The Year of the Fire Horse. While our previous journey through the Snake year taught us the power of quiet transformation and shedding skins, the energy of 2026 is an explosion of heat, speed, and radical innovation. Aquarius, the 11th sign of the zodiac, is the visionary, the rebel, and the humanitarian. When the New Moon enters this air sign, it pushes us to step out of the “status quo” and into a future that we design ourselves.

This New Moon is a bold invitation to embrace your “weird,” your unique frequency, and your most revolutionary ideas. We are being asked to look at the collective and ask: How can I use my individual genius to help the world breathe again? With the added punch of an eclipse and the Fire Horse, the “go with the flow” energy of the past is being replaced by a “create the flow” mandate.

New Moon & Solar Eclipse: The Great Reset

Every month, the New Moon marks a beginning, but a Solar Eclipse (happening alongside this New Moon) is like a New Moon on cosmic steroids. Eclipses are “wild cards.” They act as sudden resets, often closing doors that were meant to be shut and blowing open windows of opportunity we didn’t even know existed.

In the dark of this New Moon, we aren’t just planting seeds; we are planting lightning bolts. The eclipse energy creates a “collapse of time,” where the intentions you set now can manifest with startling speed. This is a time to reflect, yes, but also a time to be incredibly precise. The universe is listening with a megaphone. Use this “void” to cleanse your energetic field of any lingering 2025 stagnation. Remember: an eclipse doesn’t just ask you to change; it often demands it.

The Solar Eclipse: Expect the Unexpected

A Total Solar Eclipse in the sign of the rebel (Aquarius) is like a cosmic “power surge.” The lights go out for a moment, and when they come back on, the room looks completely different. Because this is an Aquarius eclipse, the “resets” will likely happen in your social circles, your technology, and your long-term dreams.

My Master Rule for this Eclipse: Underschedule your Life. Eclipses are notorious for “fated” events—sudden endings or “lucky” breaks that feel like they came out of nowhere. If you have your day planned down to the minute, you won’t have room for the “Electric Surprise” the universe is trying to send you.

Do not try to manifest or “push” energy during the actual window of the eclipse. Instead, become a Stationary Observer. Watch who leaves your life. Watch what ideas suddenly feel “dead” to you. In the shadow of the eclipse, the truth is revealed without its “mask.” It is a time of The Great Severing. If something falls away tonight, let it go. The Fire Horse doesn’t look back at the dust it leaves behind; it only looks at the open road ahead.

The Year of the Fire Horse: 2026’s Wild Spirit

This New Moon marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year, and we are galloping out of the subtle, internal Year of the Snake and into the thunderous Year of the Fire Horse. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Fire Horse is a rare and legendary combination that occurs only once every 60 years.

The Fire Horse is characterized by unbridled passion, extreme independence, and a fierce “can-do” spirit. This is an “action” year. If the Snake was about planning and shedding, the Fire Horse is about the stampede toward freedom. * Dynamic Energy: Expect a year where things move fast. The Fire Horse doesn’t like to wait.

  • Social Revolution: Combined with Aquarius, this year is likely to see massive shifts in social justice, technology, and how we connect as a global community.
  • Personal Power: This is a year to be bold. The Fire Horse rewards those who are brave enough to lead and those who refuse to be tamed by outdated societal “rules.”

Who is the Water Bearer?

Aquarius is often mistaken for a water sign because of its symbol—the Water Bearer—but it is firmly an Air Sign. Aquarius represents the movement of Knowledge, Intellect, and Collective Consciousness. The Water Bearer is Ganymede, the youthful cupbearer to the gods. He pours out the “water” of wisdom and innovation to the parched lips of humanity. Aquarius is the scientist, the activist, and the eccentric aunt of the zodiac. It looks toward the horizon (the 11th house of hopes and dreams) and sees a world where equality and technology harmonize.

The Constellation of Aquarius: The Eagle and the Cupbearer

While we often focus on the Water Bearer pouring out wisdom, we cannot forget the “how” of the story. In Greek mythology, Ganymede—the most beautiful of mortals—didn’t walk to Mount Olympus; he was carried there in the talons of Zeus, disguised as a massive Eagle. This is the hidden “Air” medicine of Aquarius. It represents the Sudden Uplift. Just as the Eagle snatched Ganymede from his mundane life as a shepherd to serve the Gods, this New Moon and the Year of the Fire Horse act as our “Celestial Eagle.” They are here to pluck us out of our comfort zones and carry us to a higher perspective.

The Eagle represents the High Vision—the ability to see the entire landscape of your life from 30,000 feet. Combined with the Fire Horse, this is a call to rise above the petty dramas of the collective and look at the “Big Picture” of your evolution. Are you still herding sheep at the base of the mountain, or are you ready to fly? This month, the “Eagle” of the Eclipse may swoop down to change your life in an instant. Don’t fight the ascent. Trust the talons of change; they are carrying you to your rightful throne.

Themes for the Aquarius New Moon & Eclipse

This lunation is a electric invitation to step into a future defined by Radical Authenticity.

  • Innovation & Tech: Finding new solutions to old problems.
  • Collective Healing: Using your voice for those who have been silenced.
  • Rebellion with a Purpose: Breaking the rules that no longer serve the “greater good.”
  • Detached Logic: Being able to look at your life like a scientist to see what’s actually working.
  • The “Oddball” Factor: Celebrating the parts of you that don’t fit in.

What to be Cautious of

With the Fire Horse and an Eclipse in play, the shadow side is Impulsivity.

  • Arrogance: Avoid the “I know better than everyone” trap. True Aquarius energy is about collaboration, not a dictatorship.
  • Burnout: The Fire Horse energy is intense. If you try to sprint 24/7, you will crash. Grounding is your best friend this month.
  • Hastiness: Eclipses bring “fated” events. Try not to force a door open—if it’s meant for you, the Horse will carry you through it.
  • Emotional Detachment: Aquarius can sometimes be “all head and no heart.” Don’t forget to check in with your feelings while you’re busy saving the world.

Correspondences for the Aquarius New Moon

  • Planets: Uranus (Chaos/Change) and Saturn (Structure/Time).
  • Element: Air (The Breath of New Ideas).
  • Animals: The Horse (Strength/Speed), The Eagle (Vision), and the Phoenix (Rebirth from Fire).
  • Colors: Electric Blue, Silver, and Iridescent Violet.
  • Herbs/Flowers: Star Anise (for vision), Pine (for longevity), and Orchid (for uniqueness).
  • Stones: Amethyst, Moldavite (very potent for eclipses), Aquamarine, and Turquoise.
  • Deities: Prometheus (who brought fire to man), Athena (Wisdom), and The Fates (Eclipses).

How to Connect & Create Your Blueprint

  • The Future-Self Letter: Write a letter from yourself one year in the future. Describe the “Impossible” things you’ve achieved in the Year of the Fire Horse.
  • Tech-Magic: Use this time to clean your digital space. Delete old files, unfollow accounts that drain you, and “re-code” your social media to be a place of inspiration.
  • Fire & Ice Ritual: Light a gold candle (for the Horse/Sun) while sitting with a bowl of ice (for the winter dark). As the ice melts, visualize your old limitations dissolving into the heat of your new ambitions.
  • Astro-Travel Meditation: Join our DiviNation Academy LIVE for a journey into the “Hall of the Architect” to see your 2026 blueprints.
  • Community Service: In the spirit of Aquarius, do one thing for the collective. Donate, volunteer, or simply help a neighbor.

Shadow Work Questions for the Aquarius New Moon

  • The Saboteur’s Speed: Where am I rushing into “action” just to avoid the discomfort of being still with my own thoughts? Is my “Fire Horse” energy actually just anxiety in disguise?
  • The Eagle’s Eye: If I looked at my life from the Eagle’s perspective, which of my current “problems” would look like tiny, insignificant specks? What is the one thing that actually matters from up there?
  • The Rebellion Check: Am I rebelling against the “system” because I have a better vision, or am I just being contrary because I’m afraid of belonging to anything?
  • The Fated Exit: If the Eclipse were to remove one thing from my life tonight to make room for my 2026 legacy, what would I be most relieved to see go? (Be honest—the relief tells you it was a burden).
  • When do I hide my true self to “fit in” with the herd? What am I afraid will happen if I stand out?
  • Am I using my “independence” as an excuse to avoid intimacy or vulnerability?
  • What “status quo” in my personal life is actually a cage I built for myself?
  • If I weren’t afraid of being called “crazy,” what would I start creating today?
  • How can I balance my personal fire (Fire Horse) with my service to others (Aquarius)?

The Invocation of the Fire Horse

This is meant to be spoken with strength and pace. It is a call to action to welcome the first day of the Lunar New Year (February 17th).

“I stand at the threshold of the Great Gallop. I summon the spirit of the Fire Horse—the untamed flame, the swift wind, the heartbeat of the Sun. You who move through the world with speed and sovereignty, ignite my blood with your courage. I release the slow skin of the Snake; I shed the silence of the winter frost. I claim my place in the stampede of the new age.

Burn away my hesitation. Melt the chains of my ‘shoulds.’ Carry me across the horizon of the impossible. I am bold. I am independent. I am the driver of my own destiny. Under the shadow of the Eclipse and the light of the Fire, I run with the Horse toward a future I have chosen. The race is on, and I am already winning. And so it is”

The Aquarius Eclipse: “The Great Severing” Release

Because this is a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, the focus is on breaking collective conditioning and “fated” endings. Use this during your ritual to clear space before setting Horse-year intentions.

The Practice:

  1. The Visualization: Close your eyes and see yourself connected to a massive web—the “Collective Mind.” Notice the silver threads connecting you to old roles, outdated friend groups, or societal expectations that feel like heavy “roles” you have to play.
  2. The Severing: Imagine the Moon moving in front of the Sun, creating a “ring of fire” (the Annular Eclipse). Use that ring of fire as a cosmic blade.
  3. The Words: Speak these aloud as you visualize the threads being cut:

“In the shadow of the Sun, I see the truth. I sever the threads of obligation that no longer feed my soul. I release the role of the ‘People Pleaser.’ I release the mask of ‘Fitting In.’ I break the karmic loops of my ancestors that have kept me small. As the light dims, the old script dissolves. I am no longer a character in someone else’s story. I am the Architect. I am the Outsider. I am Free.”

  1. The Grounding: After the “cut,” place your hands on the floor. Imagine the excess “electric” energy of the Eclipse draining into the earth so you don’t “crash out” from the intensity.

Final Thoughts

The Aquarius New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse is a portal. As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, the universe is handing you the keys to the kingdom of the future. The old skins are gone; the rubble is cleared. Now, with the speed of the horse and the vision of the water-bearer, it is time to build a reality that reflects your highest truth.

The mountain is behind us; the horizon is before us. Will you gallop into the light?

Alchemizing the Fire: Using Your 2026 Word of the Year to Rule Your Reality

It’s hard to believe another year has gone by! As we welcome in a new calendar year it’s important to choose your word of the year! If you haven’t already chosen a word of the year now is the time to do it! Choosing a word of the year allows you to look back on your hopes and dreams for the year. You have the chance to set the stage for the year to come and focus on what you need most in your life right now. Your word of the year can help you set goals that share a common theme. Ideally, your word of the year should be something that inspires you to reach your goals, chase your dreams, and drives you to live a fuller life. I truly believe that choosing a word of the year can be one of the most powerful things you can do in terms of goal setting , manifestation, and personal growth when the new year comes around each time.

Why choose a word of the year?

In life, you can’t just wish for your dreams to come true. You need to commit to them, create a plan, and implement a system to make your goals a success. There are countless ways to do this. One that I find to be incredibly useful is to include a New Year’s word to constantly remind me of them and keep them at the forefront of my mind. Choosing a Word of the Year is like picking a theme or central idea you want to focus on for the whole year. It’s a simple way to remind yourself of what’s important and what you want to achieve or change in your life—like having a personal motto or slogan.

When you choose a word, it is usually what you need more of, what you want to focus on, or what you need to improve on. A lot of the time, my word has been blaringly obvious. It helps me gain clarity on my goals, my personal development plan, and stay committed to my goals all year long. This method I have been using for years has now become a cornerstone to the foundation of all my goal setting and manifestation work for each year to come. If all that’s not enough reasons to set a word of the year, I don’t know what is!

How do you choose your word of the year?

Choosing a word of the year doesn’t have to be hard. Your word of the year just needs to provide you with inspiration for the direction you desire this next year to go!

First step is to, reflect on the past year and on the next year ahead. Make sure you look at the highs and the lows of from the past year. Look at what worked and what didn’t. Be authentic and honest with yourself about how the past year truly made you feel. Don’t hide from yourself to try and make yourself feel more accomplished then maybe the last year went as well. But, also don’t let yourself get fixated on the things that didn’t come to fruition through manifestation. Instead be willing to see through your eyes with clarity, the lessons they have taught you as this chapter comes to a close. Below are some of the questions I have used from year to year to pick out my word of the year. Use any of them that speak out to your soul or come up with your very own!

  • What do you want to do or accomplish the most in the next year?
  • What was the overall feel of last year?
  • Is there something you want more of or don’t want in teh next year?
  • How do you want to feel by the end of next year?
  • Is there something important you want more of from the past year?
  • Is there something you cherish you want more of from the past year?
  • What skills did you learn in the past year you want to use in the next one? What new ones would you like to learn?
  • What was the biggest lesson you learned in 2025?
  • What is the biggest lesson you wish to learn in 2026?
  • What core value of yours do yo wish to focus on this next year?
  • What feeling fits the goals of every area of your life?
  • What is the biggest blockage you need to remove in 2026 to manifest your dream life?
  • How do you want to describe your life by the end of 2026?
  • How would you describe the year 2025 in one word by the end of it?
  • What was the best things you manifested in 2025?
  • What is the biggest thing you need in your life to meet all your goals in 2026?
  • What major life changes happened in 2025? What ones do you wish to happen in 2026?
  • What was the greatest challenge you had to overcome in 2025?

Once we have taken the time to sit and reflect with our feelings and thoughts for the past year and then how we want to create the year unfolding ahead. It’s time to sit down and start to get a rough picture of how you want your goals to take shape in the year ahead. This step is crucial. If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, it’s going to be extremely difficult to reflect on your accomplishments and assess if you were successful. While you are doing this make sure to take a close look at each of your goals and try to find any connections between them. If you start to see a link now you may start to see your word of the year start to take form and reveal itself to you. Take a look at some of the categories below to help you start to brainstorm your goals. If you need help to learn more about what goals are you can read my guide about them here.

  • Finance
  • Parenting
  • Relationship(s)
  • Travel
  • Home Improvement

  • Healing journey
  • business
  • hobbies
  • political activism
  • Spiritual well being
  • Learning/knowledge/education
  • family
  • fun
  • cleaning/organization
  • pets

Now that you reflected on your past year, what you want in the next one ahead, and started to shape your goals for the new year. It is time a create a list . Create a list of one words that fit the feeling of the things you have written down. I like to do this brain dump style. How I do this is I read my answers to the question from above. Then without judgement, fear, or trying to control what comes I pick up my pen and just let the words come. I write down every single one that comes. Now, it is time for you to do the same. Don’t judge any of them that come, you never know which one may sneak up and surprise you. Below you will find a list of ALOT but, certainly not all of the words I have had come to me throughout the years. If any of them are glittering to you on this new day as an unknown year unfolds take them and add them to your list as well.

Now that you have this long list of words in front of you it time to narrow down your favorites. However you choose to do this is up to you. Whether you meditate, use a pendulum, simply sit and reflect on them or something else. Narrow it down to a few or handful of your favorites to choose from.

Drum roll…. Now is the time we have been waiting for. It is time to choose the word that you can commit to as the next year unfolds. As you choose your word you need to make sure you have a strong pull to it so, you feel you can truly commit to it. If you can’t commit to focusing on your word, then you won’t live up to your goals for the new year. You won’t make changes or put the effort forward Make sure, that your word just feels like it fits. Some years you’ll need a more active word because you’re in a season of growing. While others will be quieter and slower as you are in a season of reflection and introspection. So, make sure the one it is you choose sings to your soul and is one you can really commit to in the long year ahead.

My 2026 Word of the Year: Sovereignty

After reflecting on the steady foundation of Consistency I built throughout 2025, I felt a new call for the year ahead. The word singing to my soul for 2026 is Sovereignty.

What is Sovereignty? It is the state of being self-governing and independent. To live with sovereignty means to be the ultimate authority in your own life—acting from a place of internal alignment rather than external pressure. It is about owning your space, your choices, and your power.

Alchemizing the Fire of 2026 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, a cycle known for its intense momentum, passion, and rapid change. My goal is to use that fiery energy to alchemize the healing and transformation of this past year into true divine sovereignty.

I plan to achieve this by focusing on four core foundations:

  • Who I am: Reconnecting with my authentic identity.
  • What I want: Clarifying my deepest desires without apology.
  • What I know: Trusting my intuition and inner wisdom.
  • The skills I have: Utilizing the tools I’ve spent years mastering to build the life I deserve.

The Power of Living Sovereignly Choosing sovereignty as a guiding light offers profound benefits for our growth:

  • Decisive Boundaries: It empowers you to say “no” to what drains you and “yes” to what fuels you.
  • Inner Authority: You stop seeking external validation and start trusting your own compass.
  • Emotional Freedom: By owning your reactions, you become less susceptible to the whims of the world around you.
  • Radical Responsibility: Sovereignty allows you to take full ownership of your success and your happiness.

As we move into this high-energy year, I am stepping into my own light, fueled by the Fire Horse and anchored by the strength I’ve built.

Why I Chose Sovereignty for 2026

In 2025, my goal was Consistency, and it became the anchor I didn’t know I was going to desperately need. I went into that year thinking consistency was about checking off lists; I didn’t realize it would be the lifeline that kept me afloat during the most jarring spiritual awakening of my life.

Turning 33 and moving through my “Christ Year” brought a Kundalini rising that stripped me to my core. I was rebuilt in ways I never saw coming—parts of me died so that new versions of me could be born. This transformation happened while I was navigating the “absolute chaos” of reality: parenting and homeschooling a gifted child, working multiple jobs, running my business, and holding up my end of a marriage that, for the first time, wasn’t the solid rock I usually lean on.

Because I committed to consistency, I learned to ride those waves. I found the grace to listen to my intuition, stepping back for self-care when the energy was too much, which actually allowed me to surpass the goals I had set for myself. Consistency gave me the resilience to show up for my son, my passion, and my business even when I felt I had nothing left.

From Resilience to Royalty

Now, that consistency has led me to this moment. I am no longer just “showing up”—I am ready to rule.

I chose Sovereignty for 2026 because I am done hiding my magic. The healing and the “stripping down” of the past year have prepared me to step onto my own throne. Sovereignty is about reclaiming the power I’ve been building and allowing it to be seen in a way that no longer seeks permission or fears being “too much.”

In 2026, I am committing to:

  • Owning My Magic: Stepping fully into my role as a mystic to guide others through alchemy, sharing my knowledge and energy with authority.
  • Commanding My Worth: Allowing my self-worth to be the magnet that attracts every blessing, opportunity, and resource needed to bring my dreams into reality.
  • Ruling My Realm: Managing my life, my business, and my energy from a place of internal command—without doubt, without cruelty, and without the need for external validation.

The Fire Horse of 2026 demands movement and power. By focusing on the foundations of who I am and what I’ve learned through the fires of 2025, I am stepping into my divine sovereignty. I am no longer just surviving the chaos; I am the architect of my own reality.

What Does Living Sovereignly Look Like to Me in 2026?

It means standing as the ultimate authority in my own life. It means that every action I take is no longer just a habit, but a conscious choice made from my center. If 2025 was about the discipline of showing up, 2026 is about the power I wield now that I’ve arrived.

This year, I am building upon the five-year cycle of evolution, growth, and the alchemizing of my suffering. I am honoring the sacred container of my business and the massive progress I have made by finally allowing myself to lead it with total conviction. I will no longer ask for permission to be successful or wait for a “sign” to claim what is mine.

Living my Sovereignty means:

  • Commanding My Energy: I will take action rooted in my worth, regardless of the “noise” of the outside world.
  • Trusting My Magic: I am letting go of the self-doubt and the “imposter” narrative. A sovereign does not wonder if they belong on the throne; they simply sit.
  • Releasing Control for Command: I am letting go of the frantic need to control every outcome and perfectionism. Instead, I am stepping into command—a state of being where I trust my foundations enough to handle whatever the “Fire Horse” year throws my way.
  • Radical Authenticity: I am practicing what I preach by living as a Mystic who is fully integrated. I am no longer hiding my gifts to make others comfortable; I am letting my power be seen.

Consistency was the bridge that brought me here, but Sovereignty is the destination. This year, I commit to ruling my realm with honesty, grace, and an unshakable belief in my own divine right to thrive. In 2026, I am not just a participant in my life—I am its Queen.

How to use your word of the year?

Now, that you have gone through the steps and reflection to get to your word of the year what do you do? How do you incorporate this word into your life, manifestation and goal setting for the new year waiting to unfold. How do you take this one little word and have it be the corner stone of your dreams coming true, goals being met, and lasting change taking root? That is really truly going to depend on you and what you need. Think about what works best for you. Below are some of the things I have done in the past years you can try. Just listen to that little voice in your head and heart telling you which way to go.

  • My personal favorite, . If you haven’t learned how to create one to transform you year completely check out my guide here.
  • A lot of people like to call them vision boards but, I prefer to use goal boards. Using this term creates a much more urgent sense to complete what is on them instead of making them a some day dream. So, make sure when you create yours for this year your new word of the year you just chose inspires everything on it and is in the center of the board.
  • Are you a bullet journal fanatic like I am? Do you live your life on the pages of that journal? Why not put your world all over it? I do. I add it to the front o f the page and across every single margin so I see it every year.
  • Don’t use a bullet journal then write it on your planner, your calendar, or put on the notepad on your phone or lock screen as a home screen saver.
  • Use your word of the year to be the center of your goal setting mind map. This is one I love to do year after year. I take the word I choose then in the center of a page I write how can I…fill in this years word.. this years number. So for this year it said How can have sovereignty in 2026? Then around that question I make boxes for each categories of goals and answer the question for each one. This helps me guide with clarity the goals I should focus on in 2026.
  • Let your word of the year be the guide and center focus of the SMART goals you set for 2026. To learn more about SMART goals and how to set them check out my guide here.
  • , you use for the next year.
  • Another great idea is to create a list of books to read that support your word of the year. If you aren’t a book person then do a list of podcasts, YouTube videos, or documentaries instead.
  • That bullet journal we talked about earlier why not go and pick out 12 monthly quotes that align with your word of the year. use one each month and write it in your bullet journal , on your bathroom mirror, create a phone lock screen, or write it on your monthly calendar page. You can find daily motivation quotes on my Pinterest page to sift through.
  • Are you ready to do some extra introspection and reflection with the new year? Use your word of year to create journal prompts or as you focus with shadow work . If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here;  you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.
  • Write your word on multiple pieces of small paper and seal them in a jar you decorate to pull out on days when you need to remember your focus for the year.
  • Take your word of the year and write it on sticky notes and place them all over your home to remind you of what is when you need it and you can’t forget it. You could even write it in the inside of your wrist. I have done that from time to time. I suggest don’t use permanent marker or sharpie. I have had it end up on my face by the morning while I sleep through transference. Not fun to try and wash off!
  • Are you more of a person who lives their life using their phone? Then why not take your word and have it on reminders, alarms, or calendar events to go off and be a consistent reminder for you.
  • Write your word down over and over and over again somewhere. Putting your goals which this word is tied to, in writing enhances their tangibility and strengthens your commitment to achieving them.
  • Share your word of the year with friends and loved ones. You can do this in anyway you like. When you Share your goals with trusted friends, family, or a mentor you gain encouragement and accountability. If you need a community to share your word with comment below, comment on facebook, or in my patreon.
  • Lastly, make sure to spend some time in a quiet, calm, and sacred container so you can meditate and visualize what living your life focused on your word of the year will look like, and feel like in the year to come.

Final Thoughts: Claiming Your Command

When it comes to choosing your own word of the year, remember: you are the architect of your own reality. There is no right or wrong way to do this. It is about selecting a single word—perhaps paired with a mantra, an affirmation, or a sacred quote—that acts as the North Star for your intentions.

Your word is more than just a focus; it is a reminder to walk your unique, destined path. It is the vibration you carry as you help heal the collective and touch the souls you encounter on your journey.

How to find your word for 2026:

  • Watch for the Spark: It might arrive in a sudden flash of alchemical inspiration or appear repeatedly in your daily life until you can no longer ignore it.
  • Listen to the Silence: It might emerge slowly as you sit in your power and listen to your inner wise mind.
  • Trust Your Intuition: You will know it when you feel it. Trust yourself to choose the word that resonates with your soul’s current evolution.

Once you have your word, set your goals and reach for the stars! The energy of 2026 and the Fire Horse is waiting to be harnessed, but it requires you to take the reins. This year will be your most magical and transformative yet—but only if you choose to claim it.

The New Moon in Sagittarius: Lighting the Path for 2026

The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 6:45 a.m. CST. This powerful lunation—the very last New Moon of the calendar year—falls in the sign of the Archer, inviting us to look far beyond our current horizon, fire our most ambitious intentions, and prepare for the journey of 2026.

This New Moon activates the energy of the mutable fire sign, Sagittarius, bringing a focused intensity to themes of expansion, truth, philosophy, travel, and optimism. New moons are always a time of fresh beginnings and planting seeds, and this one asks us to gather the spiritual lessons of 2025 and use them as fuel to launch the grandest, most optimistic vision for the year ahead.

Let this New Moon in Sagittarius guide you to ignite your wildest truth, define your personal philosophy, and launch the first arrow of 2026, ensuring your highest aspirations are clearly set before the Winter Solstice turns the wheel.

New Moon: What It Is and Why We Honor It

Every month, the new moon brings the lunar cycle to its deepest, darkest point, cloaking the night in an absence of visible light. This phase marks a time of genesis, intention-setting, and renewal. It is when the seeds of desire are quietly planted in the fertile darkness, initiating the growth that will culminate at the full moon.

The new moon is a sacred time to pause, look inward, and define the trajectory of the next 28 days—and in this case, the entire coming year. This isn’t just a celestial event—it’s a call to dream bravely and commit to the steps needed to expand your life beyond its current limits.

This Final New Moon in Sagittarius carries the unique magic of the year’s end, blending lunar genesis with the season’s call to plot our future adventures. It’s a time to set intentions that are expansive, honest, and philosophically sound.

Sagittarius: The Sign of Truth and Expansion

Each new moon is shaped by the zodiac sign it falls in. This New Moon in Sagittarius (expansion, adventure) is activated while the Sun is also in Sagittarius. Who is Sagittarius?

Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, spans November 22 to December 21, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, abundance, and higher learning. Symbolized by the Archer or the Centaur, Sagittarius embodies the quest for meaning, adventurous travel, and an unwavering commitment to truth. As a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius is spirited, idealistic, and constantly moving toward a greater understanding. This sign governs the Ninth House of philosophy, long-distance travel, and higher education, urging us to define our personal belief system and live by it.

Sagittarius Energy in Myth and History

In mythology, the Centaur is often Chiron, the wise teacher and healer who guides heroes on their quests. This reflects the Sagittarian core theme: the integration of the raw, primal fire (the horse) with the clear-sighted, philosophical mind (the archer). The arrow symbolizes the direct trajectory of the spirit, always aimed toward a distant, noble goal—truth, freedom, or wisdom.

The Significance of the Final New Moon

As the last new moon of the 2025 calendar year, this lunation holds immense significance for intentional creation:

  • The Final Launchpad: This is your last, major spiritual opportunity to plant the seeds for the big, overarching themes of your 2026 journey. What belief or grand adventure do you want to define your new year?
  • Defining Your Philosophy: Sagittarius demands that we get honest about what we truly believe. The intentions set now are not just goals; they are a commitment to a higher code of conduct that will guide you through the next 12 months.
  • Igniting Optimism: This New Moon serves as an antidote to the winter gloom. Its fiery, Jupiter-ruled energy is fiercely optimistic, encouraging you to ignore doubt and aim your arrow at the impossible. Use this energy to feel excited about the path ahead.

Themes of the New Moon in Sagittarius

This Sagittarius New Moon brings themes of expansion, freedom, and truth, urging us to define our trajectory for the year ahead with boldness. We’ll feel a pull toward higher knowledge, travel, honest self-assessment, and optimistic belief.

  • Expansion: Setting intentions that require a major leap of faith or a significant growth period.
  • Truth/Honesty: Being radically honest about what you want and what you need to believe to get it.
  • Adventure/Travel: Dreaming up new experiences, literal or figurative journeys, and higher learning.
  • Belief: Committing to an optimistic, empowering philosophy that lifts you up.
  • Freedom: Releasing constraints, whether mental, physical, or spiritual, to live without limits.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Sagittarius New Moon

Sagittarius’s energy, when unchecked, can lead to over-promising, recklessness, or dogmatism. This New Moon might amplify a tendency toward self-righteousness, tactlessness, or a refusal to deal with necessary details.

Be wary of:

  • Tactless Truth: Sagittarius can speak its truth without care for others’ feelings. Ground your intention-setting in compassion.
  • Over-Idealization: Don’t shoot for goals so massive they bypass the necessary groundwork. Be idealistic, but anchor it with a first step.
  • Aversion to Detail: While your vision should be grand, remember that the Devil is in the details. Don’t ignore practical planning just to chase the big dream.

Sagittarius and The Quest

As a free witch, I cherish the relentless pursuit of meaning. Sagittarius embodies this—the light side is philosophical, generous, and inspiring; the shadow side is restless, judgmental, and commitment-phobic.

This New Moon demands that we align our quest with our current reality. What is the greatest spiritual adventure you can embark on in 2026? The task is to set a vision so compelling that the smaller struggles of the day become irrelevant, knowing they are just steps on the way to the ultimate prize.

The Archer’s Abundance Spell: Launching 2026 Wealth

This ritual utilizes the focused, aspirational energy of Sagittarius and the fertile darkness of the New Moon to clearly define and launch your intentions for abundance, wealth, and expansion in the coming year.

Best Performed: On Friday, December 19, 2025 (New Moon in Sagittarius).

I. Preparation: Gathering Your Tools

Gather these materials before you begin:

  • Candle: One Deep Blue (for Jupiter/Expansion) or Green (for Abundance) pillar candle.
  • Amulet: A piece of Turquoise, Amethyst, or Citrine (to hold your intention).
  • Incense/Herb: Sage (for clearing) and/or Nutmeg or Cinnamon (for luck and drawing wealth).
  • Paper & Pen: A clean sheet of paper and a pen with blue or gold ink.
  • A Single Coin: A shiny coin (representing financial wealth).
  • Focus Object: A small picture, symbol, or object representing your grand 2026 goal (e.g., a key to a new home, a globe for travel, or a picture of a desired business success).

II. Setting the Sacred Space

  1. Cleanse: Light your Sage and smudge your ritual space, moving the smoke clockwise. Say aloud: “I clear this space of all doubt, clutter, and limiting beliefs. Only clarity and abundance remain.”
  2. Ground: Sit comfortably. Hold your coin in your hands and focus on your breath. Visualize deep, earthy roots growing from your seat, grounding you while your mind (Sagittarius) reaches for the stars.
  3. Anoint the Candle: Take your blue or green candle. Using a safe oil (like olive or grapeseed), anoint it by rubbing the oil from the middle up (to draw things in) and then from the middle down (to draw things to you).
  4. Inscribe the Candle: Use a toothpick or sharp implement to carve your intention into the side of the candle. Use simple, powerful words like: PROSPERITY, ADVENTURE, EXPANSION, 2026 LUCK. Place your focus object next to the candle.

III. The Archer’s Abundance Launch Spell

This ritual focuses on aiming your energy directly at your goal.

  1. Writing the Intention Arrow (The Shaft):
    • Take your paper and pen. At the top, write a powerful statement beginning with the words: “For 2026, I am expanding…”
    • Write a list of at least nine specific, expansive, and ambitious intentions for abundance and growth in the new year. (Example: “I am expanding my income to $X amount.” “I am expanding my spiritual practice to include daily meditation.” “I am expanding my world through adventurous travel.”)
    • Be audacious! Sagittarius encourages you to aim high.
  2. The Archer’s Focus (The Draw):
    • Fold the paper three times toward you (to bring the intention closer). Place the paper beneath your candle.
    • Light the candle. As the flame catches, look into it and hold your coin and amulet in your non-dominant hand.
    • Close your eyes and visualize the coin transforming into a glowing, fiery arrow in your mind’s eye. This is your Sagittarian arrow of intent.
    • The Charge: Now, visualize yourself drawing the bowstring back, pulling the arrow tight, focusing all the year’s lessons, all your optimism, and all Jupiter’s luck into that single point of focus.
  3. The Launch (The Release):
    • Open your eyes and look at the flame. State the following incantation three times with deep conviction:

“By the darkness of the New Moon and the light of Jupiter’s grace, I define my vision for the year and claim my rightful place. This abundant arrow is forged in fire, aimed for 2026’s peak, All limiting stories are undone; my prosperous truth I now speak. I launch this wealth, I launch this joy, I launch this grand design, As the Archer aims for the horizon, so too, shall be mine. So Mote It Be!”

  1. The Sealing:
    • Hold your coin and amulet up to the candlelight, sealing your intentions within them.
    • Place the coin in your wallet or on your altar as a token of the energy you have launched. Carry the amulet with you daily.

IV. Closing and Integration

  • Meditation: Spend at least five minutes sitting in silence with the lit candle, feeling the expansive, optimistic energy of Sagittarius fill your space. Let your mind run free, dreaming without limits.
  • Let It Burn: Allow the candle to safely burn down completely (or snuff it and re-light it for nine days). As it burns, it sends your intent out to the universe.
  • Integrate: The Sagittarius lesson is about taking the first step on the journey. Before you leave your space, write down one small, actionable first step you can take tomorrow toward one of your big 2026 goals.

Your work is done. The arrow has been launched!

Final Thoughts for the New Moon in Sagittarius

As the final New Moon of 2025 in Sagittarius on December 19th blankets the night, let it be the moment you confidently launch your arrow into the darkness. This cycle invites you to define your core truth, set a vision that is expansive and bold, and commit to the spiritual adventure of the coming year.

Take this time to trust the wisdom you’ve gathered, embrace your innate optimism, and intentionally plant the seeds that will grow into the magnificent story of your 2026. How will you use the fertile darkness of this final New Moon to ignite your path?

Ground with the Safety, Security, and Abundance of Taurus During the Super Beaver Full Moon

A lot is happening in the collective right now causing waves of change and uncertainty, and this month’s powerful Super Full Moon in Taurus can really help us with feeling safe amongst the chaos. The Super Moon aspect means the Moon is at its closest point to Earth, amplifying its energy—and in the fixed earth sign of Taurus, that means we get an extra dose of stability and security. Taurus, being an earth sign, naturally connects you to stability and security, grounding you in the roots of yourself and the Earth. As the incredibly luminous Moon begins her next cycle aligned with the steadfast bull, we will feel called to ground ourselves in the realm of the earthly and tangible by really truly slowing down.

This will be a welcome, amplified feeling right now especially with so much change happening in the collective. Grounding our energy, feeling secure and stable in our being, and spending time in nature with the steadfast bull are all things we can do to feel a sense of calm amongst the chaos that is happening around us now. Allowing us to be more willing to confront these changes head on with grounded purpose instead of digging our hooves in and thrashing about in fear. This super stable energy is going to be really welcomed as well. After the very emotional and transformational new moon we just experienced, this full moon is here to remind us there are new pastures for us to venture to, and even though we may have been content where we were, nothing stays the same for long. If we charge forward being grounded in the roots of who we are we can meet the chaos, the fear, and the unknown from a place of stability and strength. Join me in this blogpost to plant your feet firmly on the fortified rock that is the Super Taurus full moon amongst the chaos of life.

What is the Full Moon & What is a Super Moon?

Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures and traditions. The full moon simply put is when the moon is completely illuminated in the sky and it has reached its peak in this lunar cycle in the sky. When the moon is completely illuminated it’s time for all to reach full expression. The full moon is the most powerful and potent time of the entire lunar cycle.

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). The full moon greatly affects humans, and it’s no wonder it does because, there’s a scientific reason for this – we are made up of 60% or more of water. Full Moons are the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the light of the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon, and the luminaries are exactly opposing one another from our perspective on Earth. This potent alignment offers us opportunities to gain more awareness about what is moving in our inner and emotional world, and information previously uncertain or hidden could be revealed at this time.

With the moon being fully illuminated it creates this portal to some of the most potent energy to connect to for us to manifest our desires and dream life. This portal creates a connection to our peak creative energy and the deep seated creative passions we all have within us. This creative energy and power is the energy we need to actually do and create the things and lifestyle we need to manifest what we desire. With the new moon phase being about planting the seeds of what you want to manifest, the full moon is about actually doing the work and moving the energy to make your manifesting happen.

The Super Moon Factor

This particular full moon is also a Super Moon, which means the Moon is at its closest orbital point to Earth—known as perigee—making it appear larger and brighter in the night sky. The closer proximity means the gravitational and energetic pull of the Moon is amplified. Think of it as a full moon with its volume turned up! This gives the themes of the Taurus full moon an extra boost of power and intensity for your magical and personal work.

There are so many ways to work with the full moon; to learn more about the basics of working with the full moon energy check out my blog post here and you can watch my class all about lunar magic. But, remember each full moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the full moon is currently in at the time.

The Beaver Moon

During November, Beavers eagerly complete their lodges and food supplies for the chilly winter months ahead. Which is why this month’s full Moon is called the Beaver Moon. Its name represents the time of year when beavers prepare for winter. This was also when Native American tribes would trap beavers for their valuable pelts to help their people survive the harsh winter months. This full moon is about harnessing the tenacious and patient energy of the beaver to bunker down in your home and make it cozy and warm for the winter months to come.

This month’s full moon reminds us to look at the beaver’s ability to truly be the architect of their own lives with their building abilities. They are meticulous with the dams they build, picking where within the water they will create boundaries. They maintain their home with protection and love, constantly searching for cracks in the foundation and repairing it when needed. The Beaver Moon symbolizes a time of release, protection, transition, introspection, and cleansing.

As with most pagan names there will be different ones for each culture so below I listed any of the other names for the hunter’s moon I could find across the Earth. The common themes for these moons are, preparation for the winter, the transition to winter, gathering supplies, and protection.

  • Freezing Over Moon – Ojibwe
  • Mourning Moon
  • Deer rutting moon
  • Snow moon
  • Milk Moon – pre-colonal South Africa
  • Leaf Fall Moon (Yapa Huktugere Nuti) Catawba – Native American origins
  • Frost moon
  • Slaughter or Butcher month – Norse origins (Gormánuður)
  • Darkest Depths Moon – Celtic origins
  • Digging moon
  • Little Winter Moon (Tahch’asap’aratohku) Tunica – Native American origins

Who is Taurus?

Like I said before each full moon will be amplified and influenced by the zodiac sign we find it in, and this time the full moon is in the sign of Taurus. So who is Taurus?

Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac symbolized by the headstrong bull, is the sign that anchors us to stability. As a fixed Earth sign, Taurus is the fortified mountain on which we stand amongst the spinning chaos of life. Taurus is the steady, grounding force of the Earth. Since Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, we look for stability in the sense of comfort, in the material things that make us feel secure, safe, and bring us tangible pleasure. The headstrong bull of Taurus provides you with inner strength and a deep connection to what truly matters to you.

Taurus Constellation

Taurus is one of largest constellations in the northern sky. The constellation is symbolized by the bull’s head. Not only that it is one of the oldest constellations and one of the first ones to spoken and written about. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age .It sits in the evening sky close to the famous constellation Orion and it includes a famous star cluster the pleidess.

According to Greek mythology, the constellation Taurus was placed in the sky by the god Zeus. That’s because Zeus changed himself into a beautiful white Bull to win the affections of the Phoenician princess Europa. After Europa hopped onto the Bull’s back, the Bull swam across the Mediterranean Sea, taking Europa all the way to the island of Crete. Later, Zeus and Europa became the parents of Minos, the legendary king of Crete. In another Greek myth, Zeus’s wife, Juno, changed her lover, Io, into a heifer or bull to hide her from Zeus

Meanwhile, the Zuni of New Mexico used the Pleiades cluster as an agricultural calendar. When the Pleiades – which the Zuni called the Seed Stars – disappeared into the western dusk in spring, they knew it was safe to plant their seeds, as the danger of frost had passed.

Now for the oldest myth I can find. In Babylonian mythology, the bull was known as the Heavenly Bull, or MUL.APIN. This constellation is connected to the story of Gilgamesh. He was the king of the Sumerian city state of Uruk. In the book The Epic of Gilgamesh, the king has to fight the Heavenly Bull. This animal was sent by the goddess Ishtar to kill Gilgamesh. She was so angry at him for not falling for her advances that she thought he deserved to die. Gilgamesh is considered to be represented by the constellation Orion, which is right next to Taurus. The story goes that they are still fighting their battle in the skies.

Taurus the Rock of Stability

Taurus brings in a solid rock foundation of deep stability. This is the rock around which all the duality of life is spinning. Taurus as an archetype is earthy, fortified like a mountain, and all about the sensations of nature around us. It often asks us to connect to our bodies and to the tangible, material parts of our life experience. On our journey there, Taurus also asks us to backtrack. To go back to the foundation and core of who we are and the intentions we are setting. Before releasing and letting go for change, this Moon wants us to first look to our core truths, values, and motivations. To make sure we are planting seeds of intentions we truly desire to be sown by first releasing what no longer needs to grow.

Taurus The Sign Of Money and The Body

Taurus has a reputation for abundance, in all its earthly delights. Taurus is a money ruler, so we can focus on opportunities to improve our financial situations and plan for the future. Whether it’s budgeting, saving, or investing, this is a good time to take stock of your resources and recognize the value of your hard work. During this super full moon, we can maximize resources we have, and get our hands on new resources. This can help improve stability and security in our lives, and as we improve stability and security, we can get more opportunities for money and resources.

Taurus is also one of the most body-centered (and centering) signs of the zodiac. When the Moon is in the sign of Taurus, we are reminded of the sacredness of our physical form. Taurus asks us to sit with ourselves fully. Not in an intellectual way, or spiritual way but, in a physical way. It asks us to take time to notice the breath entering our lungs, the beating of our hearts, the movement in our blood, the tension in our muscles, pressure on our bones, and sensations from our senses. Taurus puts an emphasis on creature comforts, reminding us to slow down, savor deeply, and reconnect with our physicality by simply enjoying life’s pleasures.

Themes of the Super Taurus Full Moon

Every full Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the amplified full Moon in the grounded, secure, stable, pleasurable, practical, headstrong, and rooted sign of the bull in Taurus. When the Super Full Moon in Taurus graces the sky, it offers cosmic guidance for grounding yourself in the present moment. The Taurus full Moon, amplified by the Super Moon effect, is a powerful moon that focuses your attention on practical matters and what brings you inner peace.

Keep in mind that the full Moon relates to the continuation of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams. This will be especially strong this full moon; being in the sign of our body, security, and stability will feel a need to take intentional steps down the path where all our goals will be met. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics, and be grounded in those seeds of intention you had planted on the new moon. Don’t forget this full moon is layered with many energies for you to connect to as well like the meticulous building abilities of the beaver as your prepare for the winter ahead.

What To Be Cautious Of With The Taurus Full Moon

Our confidence can be high with the Taurus full Moon if we feel secure and take it easy. If we don’t, we may become stubborn about something, and insecurity can lead to lashing out erratically. Be careful with being stubborn as well to not try and move immovable objects and start unneeded conflict. The other thing to be careful of with this moon is the pull to rest, relax and go inward. It can be very potent and alluring. While taking to time rest and replenish our bodies is important don’t let it go so far you start to avoid responsibilities.

Taurus and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the full moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First,  the sign of Taurus while it may be all about abundance, security, stability, and going deep within to be rooted and anchored. That isn’t a light process, or an easy process. To truly fully receive abundance, and be rooted in our sacred contacts and soul purposes. To truly manifest all of our deepest desires, passions, and intentions; we have to face the depths of our pasts, who we really are, and where we have honestly been. In order to have the space and ability to receive it all and most importantly be willing to receive by knowing we are worthy and it is meant to be ours. Doing this opens you to a very liminal space steeped in duality for you to truly do the work needed to benefit from this new moon to its fullest potential. Second, the full moon itself is all about duality as it is another time of transformation, transition, and rebirth. During this time we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles or holding us back. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality.

Correspondences for the Taurus full moon

First, what is a correspondence? ,A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like I will list below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond to the moon itself as well.

Root Meditation For Taurus Full Moon

The purpose of this meditation is to help you feel grounded and stable to the earth, and who you are while also replenishing your energy and strength. It also creates a circular current of energy from the earth’s core, through your energetic body, and the celestial body the moon.

How to do:

Find a comfortable position to be in somewhere that you can be alone and be left uninterrupted for a small amount of time. If you want to do this outside under the moon or connecting to the earth you can as well!

Begin by taking four centering breaths in and continue to box breath:

How to box breathe:

  1. Breathe in to the count of four (I measure my count with my heartbeat).
  2. Hold your breath for four counts.
  3. Breathe out for four counts.
  4. Pause for four counts before taking another breath.
  5. Repeat.
  6. This breathing technique helps to quiet the mind and center your focus. I use this not only for meditation, guided work, and magical purposes but, for mental health coping skills as well!

Continuing to breathe gently into the softness of your belly, you are going to begin to visualize yourself within yourself. Visualize yourself pulling back from the edges of your body. Draw your consciousness inwards so that you feel yourself inside of your body as if it were a sacred container/ temple that you can draw back into. Feel yourself growing smaller in the powerful space of your body, drifting down into the sacred portal of energy in your belly, down into your pelvic space. The sacred portal of energy many know as the root chakra or the cauldron of warming.

Remaining within yourself, visualize a root extending from inner-you down deep into the earth. Breathe into this root as it extends downwards into the floor beneath you, and than into the soil. Feel as it expands and grows moving throwing the soil. Past roots of plants and other trees, past rocks, and decaying remains and debris, past critters, and creatures that wiggle in the dirt. You breathe in and on the exhale your root extends even further into the soil stretching as far as it can until you reach the burning hot, molten core at the center of the earth. And you feel the energy of the earth pulsating there ready for you to absorb.

With every out-breath your root extends and with every in-breath you pull up green energy through your roots back into inner-you from that molten hot core in the center of the earth pulsating in front of you. The green energy stretches up into all parts of inner-you until you are completely filled with it from your toes to fingertips to the very top of your head. The energy extends out of the crown of your head skywards in the form of branches, sprouting leaves, and maybe even blooming buds or fruit. With every out-breath your branches extend upwards and with every in-breath your branches pull celestial, lunar, and solar energy into inner-you. Let the currents of green and celestial energy mingle throughout your body creating a circle current from the celestial energy, through you, and into the core of the earth and back again.

When you feel sufficiently charged-up, begin to pull back your roots and branches until they have formed a small but powerful sphere of centered energy in the belly of inner-you. This is a continuous conductor of energy that you can connect to for abundance, growth, and the divine connection between you, the earth, and the celestial body the moon. You can go within yourself, to your sacred container/temple of your body, to access it at any time, including repeating this simple ritual to continue to revitalize your inner energy.

Whenever you are ready you can open your eyes and come fully back to your body by giving yourself a self-massage or squeezing your feet connecting to the energy current you just were connected too.

Wrap Up

The Super Full Moon aligned with the steadfast bull invites us to slow down, tune into our senses, and connect with the physical world with amplified intention. This is a time to indulge in life’s simple pleasures, allowing us to connect back to ourselves and back to the Earth. Allow the magnified rays of the Taurus full moon to illuminate your needs for safety and security. Allow this super full moon to remind you that you have a solid foundation to stand on to feel grounded, safe, and supported during the chaos of life.

Don’t forget to make preparations for your full moon hangover you may experience after this lumination. If you don’t know what a full moon hangover is or how to deal with one you can read all about it in my previous blog post here!

Working with the Grounding, Abundant, Transformative Magic of August

August unfurls as a sacred tapestry of grounding, abundance, and transformation, a time when the earth’s harvest whispers its wisdom under the late summer sun. This month, with its golden fields and ripening fruits, invites us to root deeply into the soil of our lives, to gather the rewards of our efforts, and to embrace the shifts that shape our souls. In many traditions, August is a bridge between the vibrant peak of summer and the introspective pull of autumn, carrying the energy of gratitude, renewal, and inner alchemy. As the air hums with the promise of Lughnasadh and the Leo energy lingers, join me on a mystical journey through August’s magic, weaving its earthy power into our spiritual practice starting August 1.

What is August Magic?  

Before we dive into August’s mystical depths, let’s explore its essence. August magic is the earthy pulse of the first harvest, a blend of grounding energy from Virgo’s precision and Leo’s bold creativity. It thrives in the late summer landscape—fields heavy with grain, orchards laden with fruit, and forests alive with transformation. This magic has been revered for millennia, from ancient harvest rituals to modern spells, offering a fertile ground for manifestation, healing, and personal growth.

Fun Facts About August:

  • August’s birthstone, peridot, symbolizes strength and protection, echoing the earth’s resilience.
  • The month is named after Augustus Caesar, honoring his bountiful reign.
  • The Perseid meteor shower peaks in mid-August, a celestial gift for wish-making.
  • Historically, August was a time for Lughnasadh games, blending skill with celebration.
  • Wild blackberries ripen, a traditional harvest offering in Celtic lore.
  • The full Sturgeon Moon on August 9, 2025, signals abundant waters and harvests.
  • August hosts the zodiac signs Leo (until the 22nd) and Virgo, blending fire and earth.

The Magic of August: A Season of Harvest and Shift

August is a magical month, aligned with Lughnasadh’s gratitude and the earth’s generous yield. Its magic harnesses this energy to inspire grounding, abundance, and transformation. The harvest is more than a gathering—it’s a living symbol of effort rewarded, reflecting the cycle of sowing and reaping. Working with August’s magic connects us to the divine masculine and feminine, the spirit of the land, and the creative force of nature.

August Magic Across Cultures

August’s magic has bloomed across spiritual practices, each with unique interpretations.

  • Ancient Egypt (circa 2000 BC): Egyptians honored Osiris with harvest offerings, using grain to symbolize resurrection and abundance during the Nile’s flood recede.
  • Celtic Traditions (Iron Age): Lughnasadh celebrated Lugh with games and bread, honoring the earth’s first fruits as a gift from the divine.
  • Roman Culture (circa 1st Century AD): The festival of Consualia honored Consus, god of stored grain, with races and offerings for a prosperous harvest.
  • Native American Tribes (Various): Many tribes, like the Ojibwe, held ceremonies for the wild rice harvest, thanking the earth with songs and dances.
  • Hindu Tradition (Ancient India): The festival of Raksha Bandhan in August ties siblings with threads, symbolizing protection and familial abundance.

The Power of Transformation Through Harvest 

August teaches transformation, mirroring the journey from seed to harvest. Just as grain ripens under the sun, we’re invited to shed old patterns and embrace new growth. This month, this process aligns with the season’s energy, encouraging us to release what no longer serves and cultivate inner abundance. Working with August magic can heal emotional wounds, manifest prosperity, and foster personal evolution.

The Healing Essence of August  

August’s gifts are emblems of healing, its harvest used in herbalism and rituals. Wheat soothes the spirit with its grounding energy, blackberries boost vitality, and peridot calms the heart. In folklore, the Sturgeon Moon was believed to purify waters, aiding emotional balance. This healing power connects to the divine feminine, where August embodies nurturing and renewal, making it a potent ally in magical work.

August Magic and the Divine Balance  

With its grounded harvest and fiery Leo echoes, August evokes a divine balance—masculine strength and feminine nurturing. In rituals, it honors gods like Lugh and goddesses like Demeter, blending action with receptivity. Working with August magic taps into this equilibrium, awakening our inner resilience and creative power, much like the earth’s dual dance of growth and rest.

August in Myths and Lore

August weaves magic into myths:

  • The Grain and Demeter (Greek): Demeter’s grief over Persephone’s descent caused the first harvest delay, teaching sacrifice and renewal.
  • Lugh’s Games (Celtic): Lugh’s victory over Balor ensured the harvest, symbolizing skill and abundance.
  • The Sturgeon Moon (Native American): Ojibwe lore ties the moon to sturgeon runs, a time of gratitude and plent

Gods and Goddesses Associated with August

  • Lugh (Celtic): God of skill and light, he inspires creativity with his harvest games.
  • Demeter (Greek): Goddess of grain, she nurtures abundance with maternal care.
  • Consus (Roman): God of stored grain, he blesses the harvest’s preservation.
  • Danu (Celtic): Mother goddess, she fosters the land’s fertility and wisdom.

Lughnasadh 2025: Harvesting Abundance on the First Harvest

Beloved seekers of the harvest, we stand on the cusp of Lughnasadh—the first harvest festival, a sacred time to gather the earth’s bounty and honor the fruits of our labor! Known in pagan traditions as Lughnasadh or Lammas, this earthy celebration, bathed in the golden glow of late summer, calls us to give thanks for abundance, to weave magic with the grain, and to prepare for the turning wheel ahead. As the air carries the scent of ripened fields, let’s craft a tapestry of gratitude to honor the harvest’s richness, the cycle of growth, and the inner abundance within us all. Lughnasadh is a time to reap rewards, to dance with the earth’s generosity, and to reflect on the seeds we’ve sown. Join me as we follow the harvest path into the heart of this August celebration on August 1, 2025.

The Golden Heart of Lughnasadh: A Celebration of Harvest and Gratitude

Lughnasadh marks the first harvest, a moment when the sun’s warmth yields to the earth’s bounty, celebrated on August 1, 2025, in the Northern Hemisphere. The land bursts into a symphony of abundance: wheat fields sway in golden waves, orchards drop their ripened fruit, and the air hums with the promise of sustenance, all thanks to the season’s nurturing cycle. This is an earth festival, a sabbat of gratitude and transition, where we honor the fruits of our efforts and the divine balance of giving and receiving. In Celtic lore, the god Lugh, after whom the festival is named, hosts games and feasts to commemorate his foster-mother Tailtiu’s sacrifice, her death clearing the land for agriculture—a metaphor for the labor that feeds us. Yet, as a free mystic, I see the duality: we celebrate the harvest while acknowledging the shortening days, a reminder of nature’s inevitable decline into autumn.

The Ancient Roots of Lughnasadh: A Legacy of Harvest Worship

Lughnasadh, or Lammas (from the Old English “loaf-mass”), has been a cornerstone of celebration since the Iron Age, its roots stretching across Celtic and pagan traditions. Observed on August 1, 2025, in the Northern Hemisphere (and around February 1 in the Southern Hemisphere for Imbolc’s counterpart), this festival honors the first fruits of the harvest, particularly grains. The Celts celebrated Lughnasadh with the Tailteann Games, athletic and cultural contests in honor of Tailtiu, whose toil to clear Ireland’s plains was commemorated with feasting and fairs. In Anglo-Saxon England, Lammas marked the blessing of new bread from the first wheat, a ritual of thanksgiving. Across Europe, bonfires and offerings to earth deities like Demeter and Ceres reflected gratitude for the harvest, blending pagan joy with the Christian Lammas Day, yet its ancient heart still pulses, calling us to the fields.

When the Earth Yields Its Gifts: Lughnasadh’s Timing

Lughnasadh arrives with the first harvest, traditionally on August 1 in the Northern Hemisphere—this year, on August 1, 2025. It’s the midpoint of the growing season, a time when the sun’s power begins to wane, yet the earth offers its early rewards. In the Celtic calendar, it’s a major fire and earth festival, a cross-quarter day between the solstice and equinox, marking the transition from summer’s peak to autumn’s approach. As the days subtly shorten, we feel the earth’s generosity peak, a sacred invitation to gather and give thanks before the harvest deepens.

The Grains of Lughnasadh: A Harvest of Magic

At its core, Lughnasadh is a harvest festival, a tradition born among Celtic tribes who celebrated with feasts, games, and grain offerings. Bonfires lit the hills, their flames a prayer to sustain the land’s fertility through the coming months. Communities gathered to bake bread from the first wheat, sharing loaves to symbolize unity and abundance, while handfasting ceremonies blessed new unions under the harvest moon. This year, as we approach August 1, let’s kindle our own hearths—literal or symbolic—and weave intentions into the grain, connecting to Lughnasadh’s ancient magic of gratitude and renewal.

Honoring the Earth: A Celebration of Abundance

Lughnasadh is the earth’s triumphant moment, a celebration of its life-sustaining power. It symbolizes gratitude, community, and the fruits of labor, a divine force of nourishment and balance in many traditions. We honor the seasons, the source of all sustenance, and the rich energy that fuels growth. On this day, the earth isn’t just a provider—it’s a deity, a wellspring of creation that mirrors our own capacity to cultivate. As we reap its gifts, we’re reminded of our power to nurture, to share, and to thrive.

Connecting to Nature and Self: Lughnasadh’s Call

Lughnasadh beckons us to deepen our bond with the natural world and our inner harvest. The earth is a tapestry of richness—fields heavy with grain, orchards ripe with fruit, and humanity alive with gatherings and gratitude. This fertile energy, at its cusp, invites us to immerse ourselves in nature’s rhythm. Walk through a field, feel the earth’s pulse under your feet, and let the scents of ripened crops awaken your spirit. The harvest, ruler of effort and reward, shines a light on what we’ve sown, urging us to reconnect with our achievements and the community around us.

The Duality of Lughnasadh: Harvest and Decline

As a free witch, I seek the duality in every sacred day, and Lughnasadh is no exception. We rejoice in the first harvest, the zenith of abundance, yet we also face the shortening days and the approach of autumn’s rest. This balance of harvest and decline is Lughnasadh’s magic—we revel in the earth’s gifts while preparing for the leaner times ahead. By embracing this duality, we find resilience; if we don’t honor the harvest now, the winter’s quiet will feel more profound. Lughnasadh teaches us to reap with joy while whispering to the coming shadows, a lesson in balance and gratitude.

Common Traditions: Echoes of the Past

Lughnasadh’s traditions are as rich as the soil itself. Bonfires, lit to honor the harvest, connect us to the earth’s strength, a ritual to ensure future bounty. Ancient Celts held the Tailteann Games, with races and feats of skill, while bread was baked and shared to symbolize community. In Rome, Ceres received grain offerings, while Slavic peoples wove corn dollies to protect the harvest’s spirit. These practices, rooted in thanks for the earth’s gifts, remind us to gather, feast, and weave magic into our celebrations.

Magical Themes of Lughnasadh: Energies to Weave

Lughnasadh’s magic is grounding, a time for spells of gratitude and prosperity. Focus on themes like abundance, community, gratitude, harvest, healing, hearth, manifestation, protection, renewal, sacrifice, success, and the earth’s energy. This is the first harvest to gather rewards, a perfect moment for spells that amplify your efforts—whether for prosperity, health, or strengthening bonds. Let the earth’s richness fuel your magic as you dance with these fertile energies.

Lughnasadh Deities: Guardians of the Harvest

Lughnasadh’s deities embody the season’s energy, guiding us through abundance, labor, and transition. Lugh, the Irish god of skill and light, inspires creativity and victory, his games a celebration of effort. Tailtiu, his foster-mother, sacrificed herself for the land, embodying nurturing sacrifice. Demeter, Greek goddess of grain, nurtures the harvest with maternal care. Ceres, Roman goddess of agriculture, blesses crops with abundance. Cerridwen, Celtic goddess of transformation, brews wisdom from the earth’s yield. Freyr, Norse god of fertility, ensures prosperity with his golden harvest. Danu, Celtic mother goddess, fosters the land’s fertility with ancient wisdom. Honor these deities in your rituals, inviting their energy into your Lughnasadh celebrations.

Litha 2025: Dancing with the Sun’s Radiant Magic on the Longest Day

Beloved seekers of the sacred, we stand on the threshold of Litha—the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year! Known in pagan traditions as Litha, this sacred fire festival, bathed in the sun’s golden embrace, calls us to celebrate the vibrant, life-giving energy that ignites the earth. As the air hums with anticipation, let’s weave a tapestry of magic to honor the sun’s zenith, the fullness of nature, and the radiant spark within us all. Litha is a time to revel in abundance, to dance with the sun’s warmth, and to prepare for the shifting tides ahead. Join me as we follow the sun’s rays into the heart of this midsummer celebration.

The Radiant Heart of Litha: A Celebration of Light and Life

Litha marks the Summer Solstice, a moment when the sun stands at its peak, bathing the Northern Hemisphere in the longest day of the year—June 20, 2025, this time around. The earth bursts into a symphony of life: gardens bloom with fiery marigolds, bees hum in joyous dance, birds soar through cerulean skies, and the grass awakens from its winter slumber, all thanks to the sun’s nurturing rays. This is a fire festival, a sabbat of passion and power, where we honor the sun’s strength and the earth’s fertility. In Wiccan lore, the Goddess swells with child, her belly full of the harvest to come, while the God, in his Oak King aspect, stands ready to guide her through birth—a metaphor for the earth’s abundance. Yet, as a grey mystic, I see the duality: we celebrate the light while whispering to the shadows, knowing the days will soon shorten, a reminder of nature’s cyclical dance.

The Ancient Roots of Litha: A Legacy of Sun Worship

Litha, or Midsummer, has been a beacon of celebration since the Neolithic era, its roots stretching across cultures and time. Known as the Summer Solstice, this sabbat falls on June 20, 2025, in the Northern Hemisphere (December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere), a day when ancient peoples aligned their sacred sites—like Stonehenge, the Egyptian pyramids, and the Temple of Kukulcan—with the sun’s journey, using them as calendars and temples of worship. The Anglo-Saxons named it Aerra Litha, meaning “before midsummer,” a term carried to the British Isles in the 5th and 6th centuries. In Celtic mythology, Litha honored Danu, the Universal Mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a mythical tribe defeated on midsummer’s day, retreating to become the fae. In Rome, it was Vestalia, a festival for Vesta, goddess of the sacred flame, where women offered salted meats for blessings. As Christianity spread, Litha became St. John’s Day, but its pagan heart still beats, calling us to the fire.

When the Sun Reigns Supreme: Litha’s Timing

Litha arrives with the Summer Solstice, typically between June 20 and 23 in the Northern Hemisphere—this year, on June 20, 2025. It’s the astronomical start of summer, the day when sunlight stretches longest, and the night bows in brevity. In the Celtic calendar, it’s a major fire festival, a lesser sabbat in modern paganism, yet a potent moment to harness the sun’s energy. As the earth tilts toward the sun, we feel its power peak, a radiant invitation to celebrate the light before the gradual descent into winter’s embrace.

The Fires of Litha: A Blaze of Magic

At its core, Litha is a fire festival, a tradition born in Neolithic times among Celtic, Slavic, and Germanic peoples. Bonfires crowned hilltops, their flames a prayer to strengthen the sun for the harvest season. Families gathered, leaping over the fires for luck, lovers clasped hands to ward off demons, and communities stayed awake to greet the first rays of dawn, basking in the sun’s primal energy. Fire, a mirror of the sun, purifies and transforms, its crackling embers a shield against the unseen. This year, as we approach June 20, let’s light our own fires—literal or symbolic—and weave wishes into the flames, connecting to Litha’s ancient magic.

Honoring the Sun: A Celebration of Vitality

Litha is the sun’s triumphant moment, a celebration of its life-giving power. It symbolizes light, love, and happiness, a masculine divine force of vitality and strength in many traditions. We honor the seasons, the source of all life, and the radiant energy that fuels growth. On this day, the sun isn’t just a star—it’s a deity, a spark of creation that mirrors our own inner fire. As we bask in its glow, we’re reminded of our own power to manifest, to create, and to shine.

Connecting to Nature and Self: Litha’s Call  

Litha beckons us to deepen our bond with the natural world and our truest selves. The earth is a canvas of abundance—flowers in full bloom, crops swelling with promise, and humanity alive with festivals and gatherings. This fertile energy, at its peak, invites us to immerse ourselves in nature’s rhythm. Walk barefoot on the grass, feel the sun’s warmth on your skin, and let the vibrant colors of summer awaken your spirit. The sun, ruler of ego and identity, shines a light on who we are at our core, urging us to reconnect with our authentic selves and the world around us.

The Duality of Litha: Light and Shadow

As a grey witch, I seek the duality in every sacred day, and Litha is no exception. We celebrate the longest day, the zenith of light, yet we also prepare for the shortening days ahead. This balance of light and shadow is Litha’s magic—we revel in abundance, fertility, and joy, knowing darker times will come. By embracing this duality, we find strength; if we don’t honor the light now, the shadows of winter will feel heavier. Litha teaches us to dance in the sun while whispering to the night, a lesson in harmony and resilience.

Common Traditions: Echoes of the Past

Litha’s traditions are as fiery as the sun itself. Bonfires, lit on hilltops, connect us to the sun’s strength, a ritual to carry us through harvest and winter. Ancient peoples rolled flaming wheels into rivers, symbolizing the sun’s journey. In Rome, Juno’s festival saw marriages bloom, while Vesta received offerings for eight days, blessing hearths with sacred fire. Norse traditions honored Freyr, the fertility god, with feasts of abundance. These practices, rooted in gratitude for the sun, remind us to gather, feast, and weave magic into our celebrations.

Magical Themes of Litha: Energies to Weave

Litha’s magic is potent, a time for spells of empowerment and growth. Focus on themes like abundance, cleansing, creativity, divination, fertility, fire, healing, inspiration, love, motherhood, opportunity, power, success, warmth, and the sun’s energy. This is the longest day to increase light, a perfect moment for spells that amplify your intentions—whether for self-love, protection, or manifesting dreams. Let the sun’s fire fuel your magic as you dance with these vibrant energies.

Litha Deities: Guardians of the Sun

Litha’s deities embody the season’s energy, guiding us through fertility, light, and transformation. Juno, Roman goddess of marriage, protects unions with her peacock’s vigilance. Pan, the Greek god of the wild, dances through meadows, his horned form a symbol of untamed nature. Lugh, the Irish sun god, brings abundance and creativity, his fiery arrows igniting passion. Hathor, Egyptian goddess of love, nurtures with beauty and underworld wisdom. Danu, Celtic mother goddess, fosters fertility and wisdom, her wind carrying ancient knowledge. Ra, the Egyptian sun god, father of creation, battles darkness to ensure the sun rises anew. Amaterasu, Shinto goddess of the sun, sustains life with her radiant light, a maternal force of order and growth. Honor these deities in your rituals, inviting their energy into your Litha celebrations.

Soar into Abundance under the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius

This mystical June , we prepare to embrace the Strawberry Full Moon illuminating the skies on June 11, under the fiery, adventurous spirit of Sagittarius. This full moon, named for the ripe strawberries harvested by the Algonquin and Ojibwe tribes in early summer, pulses with energy of growth, sweetness, and bold exploration, urging us to savor life’s abundance and pursue our highest truths. As the Strawberry Moon rises, we’ll feel a surge of joy, a call to chase our dreams with fiery passion, and an invitation to release doubts that weigh us down. In the weeks following, we may find ourselves blossoming toward new possibilities, empowered by gratitude and vitality. Join me in this guide as we soar into abundance under the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius!

First, What is the Full Moon?

Across centuries, the Moon has been a sacred guide in diverse cultures and traditions. The full moon marks the moment when the Moon is fully illuminated, reaching its zenith in the lunar cycle—a powerful peak of expression and energy. This occurs when the transiting Sun and Moon stand in opposition across the zodiac, a celestial dance that stirs our inner waters, given our bodies are over 60% water. Full Moons are the crescendo of the lunar cycle, with the Sun’s light fully revealing the Moon, offering a mirror to our emotions and hidden desires.

This luminous alignment opens a portal to manifest our deepest dreams, channeling peak creative and passionate energy to shape the life we envision. While the new moon plants seeds, the full moon activates the work to bring those seeds to fruition, bridging intention and action beyond its brightest night. There are myriad ways to harness this energy—explore the basics in my lunar magic blog post here. Each full moon, like this Sagittarius Sturgeon Moon, carries unique vibrations tied to its zodiac sign, inviting us to align with its magic.

The Strawberry Moon

As June’s warmth ripens the earth, the night sky glows with the Strawberry Full Moon, a name gifted by the Algonquin and Ojibwe tribes, who celebrated the season of strawberry harvesting in early summer. Though not visually distinct, this moon shines in its golden or rosy hue, radiating energy of sweetness, fertility, and the joy of nature’s peak. The Strawberry Moon invites us to celebrate abundance, embrace vitality, and align with the earth’s generous gifts, a time to gather the fruits of our labor with gratitude.  

Following May’s Flower Moon, the Strawberry Moon carries forward the theme of growth, resonating with the fiery energy of midsummer and the promise of harvest. It’s a call to savor life’s pleasures, to embark on new quests, and to dance with the earth’s spirits under the moon’s light. Use this moon to reflect on your journey, recalibrate your dreams, and infuse your spirit with the courage to pursue your truth. Across cultures, the June full moon bears other names, each echoing themes of bounty and renewal: 

  • Strawberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe)
  • Rose Moon (European)
  • Hot Moon (Cherokee)
  • Mead Moon (Medieval English)
  • Thunder Moon (Algonquin, some years)
  • Green Corn Moon (Sioux)
  • Moon When the Ponies Shed (Dakota)

So, Who is Sagittarius?

As the ninth sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and wisdom, and governed by the fire element, igniting passion and inspiration. Known for its love of freedom, truth, and adventure, Sagittarius is the archer, aiming its arrow toward the stars with boundless optimism. When the Moon aligns with Sagittarius, we feel a magnetic pull to explore new horizons, seek higher knowledge, and embrace our inner wanderer, encouraging us to trust our journey and release what limits our growth.

The Sagittarius Constellation

The Sagittarius constellation gleams in the southern sky, its stars forming the shape of an archer with a drawn bow, a symbol of aspiration and pursuit. In ancient Greek lore, it’s linked to Chiron, the wise centaur who taught healing and archery, while Babylonian myths tie it to Pabilsag, a god of war and wisdom. The constellation’s bright star, Rukbat, pulses with energy of direction and purpose, aligning with Sagittarius’ questing spirit. For many cultures, this celestial archer marked a time of harvest and travel, reflecting its themes of expansion and discovery.

Magical Themes for the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius

This Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius blends earthy sweetness with fiery exploration, offering a potent mix of growth, truth, and liberation. It’s a time to release doubts, embrace adventure, and align with your highest vision. The Sagittarius Full Moon encourages us to soar beyond limitations, trust our intuition, and savor the wisdom of our journey. Let’s delve into these themes:

Magical Themes for the Sagittarius Full Moon:

  • Adventure
  • Expansion
  • Truth-seeking
  • Freedom
  • Optimism
  • Wisdom
  • Exploration
  • Growth
  • Inspiration

Magical Themes for the Strawberry Moon:

  • Abundance
  • Fertility
  • Harvest
  • Sweetness
  • Joy
  • Connection with nature
  • Celebration
  • Renewal
  • Vitality

Sagittarius: The Sign of Adventure and Truth

Sagittarius, a fire sign fueled by Jupiter’s expansive grace, thrives on adventure and the pursuit of truth. It seeks to explore the world—physically, spiritually, and philosophically—craving experiences that broaden the soul. Under this Full Moon, Sagittarius’ energy will ignite our desire to break free, seek knowledge, and embrace our authentic path. It’s a time to honor your inner explorer, to chase your dreams with faith, and to let go of fears that anchor you. Sagittarius reminds us that growth lies in the journey, not just the destination.

Sagittarius: The Sign of Wisdom and Liberation

Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius is the zodiac’s philosopher and liberator, always seeking higher wisdom and freedom through exploration. During this Full Moon, Jupiter’s influence amplifies our quest for meaning and release, urging us to expand our horizons and trust our inner compass. This is a moment to reflect on your growth, to heal through understanding, and to share your insights with others. Sagittarius’ fiery optimism can illuminate new possibilities, helping us transform our lives with bold liberation.

Jupiter’s Expansive Influence is Active

Jupiter, the planet of growth and abundance, shines brightly under this Full Moon, magnifying Sagittarius’ energy. Jupiter encourages us to dream big, to release limiting beliefs, and to trust in our potential for prosperity. After a period of introspection, Jupiter’s influence now urges us to expand our vision, to plant seeds of abundance in the fertile soil of June, and to believe in the journey ahead. This expansive energy can help us manifest our wildest dreams, but it asks us to stay grounded in gratitude for the process.

What to Be Cautious of During a Sagittarius Full Moon

Sagittarius’ fiery enthusiasm is a gift, but its shadow can bring restlessness or overconfidence. This Full Moon may tempt us to overcommit, scatter our focus, or avoid deeper emotions in favor of escapism. Its blunt honesty might also spark unintended conflicts if we’re not mindful of tact. Balance this energy by grounding yourself—connect with the earth, reflect before acting, and embrace your journey with patience and presence.

Sagittarius Full Moon and Duality

As a grey witch, I seek the duality in every lunar energy. The full moon itself embodies duality as a time of culmination and release, pulling us into a liminal space where we harvest gains and let go of what hinders us—a dance of light and shadow. Sagittarius’ duality lies in its balance of freedom and wisdom. While it craves adventure and expansion, it also teaches us that true liberation comes from inner truth. Sagittarius reminds us that duality—action and reflection, growth and release—is the key to a fulfilling journey.

Shadow Work Under the Sagittarius Full Moon

Shadow work, the art of facing our hidden fears and unhealed wounds, finds a unique rhythm under the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius. This moon’s fiery, expansive energy, enhanced by Jupiter, illuminates the shadows of doubt and stagnation we’ve buried, urging us to confront them with bold honesty. Sagittarius’ quest for truth encourages us to explore our inner wilderness, while its optimism fuels the courage to release what no longer serves. This is a time to ask: What fears keep me from my dreams? What beliefs limit my growth? Journal these shadows, then use the moon’s energy to release them through rituals like burning a list of doubts or meditating on your inner archer. Shadow work here can lead to profound liberation, guiding you toward your most authentic, adventurous self.

Correspondences for the Sagittarius Full Moon

Anchor into the Earth’s Embrace for Security and Pleasure Under the Taurus New Moon

The new moon in Taurus on April 27, 2025, arrives to bathe us in a grounding, sensual energy that invites us to root deeply into the earth and cultivate lasting abundance. This new moon, nestled in the steadfast, nurturing, and pleasure-seeking earth sign of Taurus, offers a sacred moment to plant seeds of stability, self-worth, and beauty in our lives. New moons are always a time to start fresh, set intentions, and envision your future—but this Taurus new moon, coming just after Earth Day, doubles as a powerful opportunity to connect with the natural world and honor your own worth. For me, this moon feels especially significant after my recent journey of embracing winter’s magic in Minnesota, as it continues the theme of aligning with nature’s cycles and finding peace in stillness.

Taurus is all about grounding, luxury, and the appreciation of life’s simple pleasures. This new moon encourages us to slow down, savor the moment, and build a foundation for long-term growth. As a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taurus reminds us to prioritize self-care, indulge in sensory delights, and cultivate a deep sense of self-worth. This new moon is the time to connect with the most stable, abundant version of yourself—the one that makes you think, “I am worthy of all the beauty and richness life has to offer.” Let this New Moon in Taurus anchor you in the earth’s embrace, helping you manifest a life of security, pleasure, and enduring growth.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the new moon ushers us into a fresh cycle, a moment to pause, reflect, and set intentions. Before we dive into Taurus’s earthy magic, let’s ground ourselves in the essence of the new moon itself. This lunar phase is a time to cleanse your energy, set intentions for the cycle ahead, and plant the seeds of what you wish to manifest. But intentions alone aren’t enough—you must pair them with action and energy to bring them to life. The new moon supports you in this process, offering a fertile space for new ideas, beginnings, and growth.

Historically, our ancestors honored the new moon as a time of rest and renewal, using the darkness of the night sky to reflect and plan, much like they did during seasonal shifts. Think of your intentions as seeds you’re planting now, to be nurtured over the lunar cycle and harvested by the full moon. Each new moon carries its own unique magic, influenced by the zodiac sign it falls in. To learn more about working with the new moon, check out my previous blog post here.

Taurus: The Sign of Grounding and Abundance

Each new moon is amplified by the zodiac sign it occupies, and this time, we’re blessed with the steady, sensual energy of Taurus. So, who is Taurus?

Taurus, symbolized by the bull, is the second sign of the zodiac, governing those born between April 20 and May 20. As an earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus embodies stability, beauty, and a deep connection to the physical world. It’s the sign of the gardener, the artist, and the lover of life’s pleasures—think blooming flowers, a warm meal, or the feel of soft grass beneath your feet. Taurus energy is slow, deliberate, and deeply rooted, encouraging us to build solid foundations for our dreams. It’s also a fixed sign, meaning it’s all about perseverance, loyalty, and seeing things through to the end.

Taurus Constellation

Taurus is one of largest constellations in the northern sky. The constellation is symbolized by the bull’s head. Not only that it is one of the oldest constellations and one of the first ones to spoken and written about. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age .It sits in the evening sky close to the famous constellation Orion and it includes a famous star cluster the pleidess.

According to Greek mythology, the constellation Taurus was placed in the sky by the god Zeus. That’s because Zeus changed himself into a beautiful white Bull to win the affections of the Phoenician princess Europa. After Europa hopped onto the Bull’s back, the Bull swam across the Mediterranean Sea, taking Europa all the way to the island of Crete. Later, Zeus and Europa became the parents of Minos, the legendary king of Crete. In another Greek myth, Zeus’s wife, Juno, changed her lover, Io, into a heifer or bull to hide her from Zeus

Meanwhile, the Zuni of New Mexico used the Pleiades cluster as an agricultural calendar. When the Pleiades – which the Zuni called the Seed Stars – disappeared into the western dusk in spring, they knew it was safe to plant their seeds, as the danger of frost had passed.

Now for the oldest myth I can find. In Babylonian mythology, the bull was known as the Heavenly Bull, or MUL.APIN. This constellation is connected to the story of Gilgamesh. He was the king of the Sumerian city state of Uruk. In the book The Epic of Gilgamesh, the king has to fight the Heavenly Bull. This animal was sent by the goddess Ishtar to kill Gilgamesh. She was so angry at him for not falling for her advances that she thought he deserved to die. Gilgamesh is considered to be represented by the constellation Orion, which is right next to Taurus. The story goes that they are still fighting their battle in the skies.

Taurus: The Sign of Sensuality and Stability

Taurus is the embodiment of earthy sensuality, ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure. This sign revels in the material world—think lush gardens, fine fabrics, and the scent of blooming flowers. Taurus energy is grounded, patient, and deeply connected to the body, encouraging us to slow down and savor life’s delights. As a fixed earth sign, Taurus is the rock of the zodiac, offering stability, reliability, and a steadfast commitment to growth.

This new moon in Taurus is a time to embrace your inner gardener, planting seeds that will grow into lasting abundance. Taurus, ruled by Venus, invites us to focus on self-love, beauty, and the creation of a secure foundation. We may feel a surge of desire to nurture ourselves, to indulge in sensory pleasures, and to build a life that feels both luxurious and stable. Use this energy to root deeply into your values, to honor your worth, and to cultivate a sense of peace that withstands life’s storms.

Taurus: The Sign of Self-Worth

Taurus rules the second house in astrology, often called the house of values and possessions. This house governs our relationship with money, self-worth, and the material world, reflecting how we build security and abundance in our lives. Taurus, as the ruler of this house, teaches us that true abundance begins with self-worth. This sign encourages us to value ourselves deeply, to recognize our inherent worth, and to create a life that reflects that value.

Taurus energy is a reminder that we are enough, just as we are. It’s the sign that helps us cultivate a strong sense of self-esteem, grounded in authenticity rather than external validation. During this new moon, focus on what makes you feel worthy, secure, and connected to your body and the earth. Taurus invites us to build a life that feels rich in every sense—emotionally, spiritually, and materially.

Themes of the Taurus New Moon

Every new moon carries themes tied to its zodiac sign, and this Taurus new moon is all about grounding, abundance, and self-worth. We’ll feel a deep pull to slow down, to root into the present moment, and to nurture ourselves with intention. This new moon is about building a foundation for lasting growth, indulging in life’s pleasures, and honoring our inherent value. If you’ve been neglecting your needs or doubting your worth, this is your cosmic invitation to prioritize yourself and create a life that feels secure and beautiful. Keep in mind that this new moon follows Earth Day, amplifying its earthy energy and encouraging us to deepen our connection with nature.

  • Grounding: Anchor yourself in the present and connect with the earth’s stability.
  • Abundance: Plant seeds for financial, emotional, and spiritual prosperity.
  • Self-Worth: Recognize your value and build a life that reflects it.
  • Sensuality: Indulge in sensory pleasures and honor your body.
  • Stability: Create a solid foundation for your dreams.
  • Patience: Embrace the slow, steady pace of growth.
  • Beauty: Surround yourself with beauty and create a life that feels luxurious.
  • Nurturing: Care for yourself and your environment with love.

What to Be Cautious Of With the Taurus New Moon

While Taurus energy is grounding and nurturing, it can also lead to stubbornness and resistance to change. Taurus loves comfort and stability, which might make us cling to old habits or routines, even when they no longer serve us. Be mindful of becoming too rigid—allow yourself to adapt and grow while staying rooted in your values. Additionally, Taurus’s love of luxury can tip into overindulgence, so balance your desire for pleasure with mindfulness and moderation.

This new moon also calls for balance between stability and growth. While Taurus encourages us to build a solid foundation, don’t let that anchor you into stagnation. Use this energy to create security, but remain open to new possibilities. As I’ve learned through my own journey with winter’s stillness, there’s magic in slowing down—but growth often requires us to step beyond our comfort zone, even in small ways.

Taurus and Duality

As a grey witch, I always seek the duality in every energy I work with, including the new moon and the zodiac sign it occupies. Let’s explore the duality of Taurus. On one hand, Taurus is nurturing, sensual, and grounded, offering a stable foundation for growth and a deep appreciation for life’s pleasures. This energy is perfect for cultivating self-worth, building abundance, and rooting into the present moment. On the other hand, Taurus can be stubborn and resistant to change, sometimes leading to stagnation or an overattachment to material comforts. This duality reminds us that while stability is essential, we must also remain flexible to evolve.

The new moon itself is a liminal space, embodying duality through its balance of light and shadow. It’s a time of beginnings, but those beginnings are born from endings—a cycle of death and rebirth. Just as I learned to embrace winter’s stillness as a precursor to spring’s renewal, this Taurus new moon invites us to find harmony between grounding and growing, between indulgence and discipline.

A week of simmer pots; fill your home with magic every day of the week

I love simmer pots! They are one of my favorite spells to do! They are magical spells to create an enchanted energetic container within your home. The essence of your spell is able to be carried to every single nook and cranny of your home. This is the main reason I love them so much! Our homes are so important to imbue with our magical energy and the essence of the intention we want to create in our life. Because, they are our home base, our safe zone, and one of most sacred temples we retreat to. We use them to build our families, create connections with the divine , and perform our magic in. They are also simple to create and cast and incredibly versatile. You can make them for endless intentions and energies it just depends what type of magical atmosphere you want to bring into your home. Because, I love them so much and have created so many of them throughout the years I have decided to create this post to give you a week of simmer pots to imbue magic into your own home!

What are simmer pots?

Simmer pots are basically potpourri in a pot! You choose your ingredients, put them in a pot with water, bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and let it do its thing. They couldn’t be any easier, just be sure you don’t let your pot boil dry! If you want to keep the pot going simply add more water when it gets low. And obviously never leave it going when you are not home. Simmer pots also lack the harsh toxins that are packed into conventional air freshener sprays and many scented candles. Just fresh ingredients from your kitchen! No fake fragrances or toxic chemicals needed. One more benefit, they can likely be crafted with things you already have in your kitchen making them a convenient and inexpensive solution. If you want to learn more about simmer pots and learn how to create your own check out my guide HERE!

What makes a simmer pot magical?

Aside from making your house smell divine, one of the ways simmer pots are magical is they incorporate all of the natural elements – making it a fun way to bring a connection with nature and the environment to your home. You do this simply by creating it.

  • EARTH-The first step to creating a simmer pot is to choose the herbs, spices, plants and other foods that will go into your concoction
  • WATER-Once you’ve put all of your botanical ingredients in the pot, you will fill the pot 2/3 with water.
  • FIRE/HEAT-The fire element is added when you turn on your stove top burner and start heating up your simmer pot. You’ll want to bring it to gentle simmer
  • AIR-The steam from your simmer pot will circulate the scent and magic of your simmer pot throughout your space. And sending the energy of your spell, intention, manifestation, or ritual into the air, your sacred space and the multiverse.

This is my favorite part and why I find them so magical. The amount of magical energy being released into your space out into the multiverse and than inhaled back into your soul through your lungs is astounding and intoxicating. Simmer pots also leverage the magical and mysterious properties of herbs and other plants making it great way to practice kitchen witchcraft even if cooking or baking isn’t really your thing. Ps. if you need to learn ore about the elements and the energy they are bringing to your simmer pots read my guide HERE!
