March Money ‘Scopes by Jasmine Wolfe

Aries

The time of Aries is approaching this month and you can feel the excitement bubbling up inside of you, shaking your limbs and calling upon your deep sense of adventure. Venus, the planet of love and money, shifts into Aquarius on the 1st. You may receive some unexpected money on this day, so keep your phone handy for any emails or phone calls coming your way. With the Mercury retrograde on the 5th and the new moon, both in Pisces, on the 6th you may be feeling frustrated by the lack of clear communication. Don’t lash out with anger, instead use your skills of direct communication to get things done. The full moon in Libra on the 21st gives you an opportunity to analyze your spendings, are they in harmony with your life path? Get rid of any unnecessary spending and be wary of emotional spending on the 26th.

Taurus

You’re going to be feeling like money is flying away from you faster than you can keep track of it at the start of the month with Venus in Aquarius. Recognize that money is always coming to you, and you are the only one who gets to decide how you spend it. By the 6th you should be feeling more secure and stable, and the new moon in Pisces will give you a great opportunity to welcome more wealth into your life. Both Mars and Uranus will be in Taurus this month so you’ll feel very comfortable with doing things your way and at your own pace. Be wary of your own stubbornness as everyone else around you may be feeling the same way. It is a favorable month to take actionable steps towards your dreams, so when Venus enters Pisces on the 26th you’ll want to send the email, apply to the job, and buy the tools you need in order to bring your dreams into reality.

Gemini

The 1st of the month will bring you an opportunity for a new business endeavour which will likely come from a friend or work acquaintance. You, like everyone else, will be feeling emotional around the 6th. You’ll be reading too much into things, take a break at work and go for a walk. If you cry in the bathroom it’s ok, I won’t tell anyone. By the time the Full Moon rises on the 21st you may be ready to sign some important documents. Dot your i’s with a heart. Full moons are a good time to release anything you don’t need in your life in the next month, so hangout with a close friend and talk about the world you want to see. An old friend may call you for a favor at the end of the month, the favor being some money lended. My friend’s dad once said, “never lend money to a friend you want to keep.” Me and my friend made it work, but I can’t deny that he had a point.

Cancer

Bills, bills, bills, is paying them the only reason you go to work? That’s what it will feel like for most of the month. Be diligent about tracking your income and spending otherwise it will seem like your money has packed its bags and run off in the middle of the night. Monetarily, things move a little easier around the new moon on the 6th. Your emotions will feel like they’re working with you, not against you, so use the new moon energy at work to think of creative solutions to whatever is going on at work or in your personal life. You’ll get recognized for a job well done around the 6th, make sure to do things at your own pace and in your own way though! Prepare for an unexpected event on the 21st. It will require you to drop some extra cash, so start saving up now. By the 26th you’ll be in the clear again.

Leo

Venus moves into your polarity on the 1st of the month so now is a good time to buy that new laptop or phone you’ve been thinking about; just make sure you buy any electronics before that Mercury retrograde on the 5th. A situation at work is going to leave you utterly confused on the 6th, and in fact, this whole retrograde is going to leave you with far more answers than questions. If you don’t understand what your boss or client is asking you to do, try to ask as directly as possible. Tensions may rise and leave you feeling stuck with no way out. Feel free to browse job openings elsewhere at your desk when your coworkers aren’t looking, but hold out until the full moon on the 21st, because your dream job may just fall into your lap. Ok, maybe not fall into your lap, but the opportunity to do something you truly love could cross your path.

Virgo

The Mercury retrograde in Pisces is going to mess with you in a special way. Back up everything on your phone and computer in the first 4 days of the month. Keep your electronics far away from the toilet, the sink, your fancy water bottle. Be aware that your calm, direct way of speaking is going to ruffle some feathers at work in the middle of the month. Do your best to keep your cool even when others are slacking, a meeting with HR is the last thing you want to do right now. After the 6th you’re going to need the space in your career to do things exactly as you want to. Ask your boss or client to have faith in your ability to know what is best, but be prepared for it to not go your way, especially around the 21st.

Libra

Did someone get a bonus at work? Maybe a promotion? If you use your innate charm this month you can have the new title and the pay bump. The people in charge are picking up what you are putting down and they are particularly aware of your level head this month. You may feel stuck and confused with a lack of energy going into your work on the 6th, the new moon in Pisces and Uranus shifting into Taurus is to blame. Confusion and head butting is sure to ensue, just try not to unload your grievances on too many coworkers. Work gossip is only fun when it isn’t about you. The full moon in Libra is on the 21st! And you know what that means, big money baby. This is the time to do what needs to be done in order to live the life that you want to live. Don’t be afraid to ask the universe for exactly what you want. It listens.

Scorpio

You’ll find that your taxes are particularly confusing if you try to do them in the beginning of the month, especially if you’re planning to file them online. To be honest, it’s 2019 who isn’t filling their taxes online? The energy of the New Moon on the 6th will have you feeling ready to start that project you’ve been putting off, but we are working through a Mercury Retrograde this month. That’s no reason to not utilize those good feelings around the 6th, but stay true to your powerful Scorpio self and double check that all your files are backed up, and read the article twice before signing on the dotted line. You’ll be feeling restless around the full moon on the 21st but it’s just a passing feeling, and restlessness can push you towards something you wouldn’t have originally considered.

Sagittarius

I know that for most Sag suns, speaking your mind isn’t something you have to try to do, but it is something that is going to work to your best benefit this month. Talk to your boss about that new project you want to work on, but maybe not on the 6th. That new moon energy is going to leave you feeling an excess of energy which could lead to one of those epic foot-in-mouth moments that you know Linda is going to talk about in the break room. Fear not, there’s an opportunity around the 21st that will be a win win for you and whoever else in involved. Pay attention to any opportunity to give back to others, you’ll get back much more than you give. Something you buy online at the end of the month may not be exactly what you wanted but if anyone can take a negative and make it positive it’s you Sagittarius!

Capricorn

Things at work are shifting on the 1st and it’s going to make you feel a special kind of frustrated. There may be a new computer program your job or company is getting installed, and so all the structure you were happily used to is going to change. Double check that you’ve saved everything in those first few days of March and keep your coffee away from your computer to safe guard from any accidental spills. You’re going to feel more like your boss self by the New Moon on the 6th. This is a good day to seize or create a new opportunity in regards to your wealth. Sometimes opportunities fall into our laps and other times they are something we need to create. There is potential for work gossip around the Libra full moon on the 21st, try not to feed into it but keep your ears open. Your ability to understand other peoples emotions will do you well by the end of the month.

Aquarius

This is going to be a fruitful month for you solar Aquarians! With Venus in your sun sign money is something that flows easily to you. Be careful of frivolous overspending, you may be questioning some recent purchases by the new moon on the 6th. With all that money coming your way money will seem like a play thing, but it is an energy that demands respect. Organize and categorize your things, detach yourself from anything that you no longer need. If anyone owes you money, don’t try to confront them on the 21st. Also don’t be surprised if a date asks you to split the bill that night. It’s 2019 after all and your a strong independent human.

Pisces

You’re likely to be spending without keeping tabs on your bank account this month and who can blame you? It is your birthday season after all. The Pisces Mercury retrograde on the 5th is going to have you feeling things more deeply than usual, but probably in a good way. It’s a good time for you to pick up an instrument, listen to songs or watch movies from your childhood, and pick up a pencil or paintbrush. On the 6th a new passion project or job opportunity will arise. With Uranus moving into Taurus you’ll be getting the right kind of kick in the butt to actually follow through with this opportunity. Make sure to get some alone time on the 21st, plan for a mental health day if you can, because that Libra full moon is going to make you feel lost and unmoored. If you need to buy any new supplies for that aforementioned opportunity, make sure to save any big ticket items for the 26th and beyond.

February Money ‘Scopes

Aries
February starts with power struggles causing a stand-still at work. The 3rd helps to mend such issues, due to Venus’s transit through the work sphere of your chart. The New Moon on the 4th of February motivates you to ask for a raise from work, even if you have to negotiate! Valentine’s Day brings growth to the financial sector of your chart, encouraging you to grow your career and bank account. The Full Moon on the 19th will implement you as the leader of your coworkers, due to your new found professional and financial status.

Taurus
This month is your break from financial stresses. The main focus for you, dear Bull is work. With the New Moon activating the professional sector of your chart, you are on your way to creating a new vision for the public—perhaps even getting your hustle on to ensure financial success in an on going project. One thing is certain, you will be moving mountains professionally and creating buzz around your successes. The Full Moon on the 19th lifts your spirit, giving you the desire to restructure your endeavors, even if that means taking a salary cut.

Gemini
With Jupiter galvanizing through your house of partnerships, you may decide under the New Moon February 4th to take a step back and focus your energies on healing relationships. This rings true on the 19th, when the Full Moon makes you reassess your professional goals. Work may be going strong, but your personal life has taken the biggest hit of all. No matter how hot and heavy things may get in your personal relationships, don’t ignore your financial issues and max out your credit cards, as the 3rd can illuminate such matters.

Cancer
February brings major financial changes your way, due to the New Moon occurring February 4th. It’s a great time to organize standing financial issues by consolidating debt and paying back those you owe money to. Starting a new financial plan at the beginning of the month will prove beneficial, especially on the 3rd—as the 18th, 22, and 29th may bring financial stresses your way, mostly from business ventures (ie: entertaining clients and materials for projects). Create a budget and stick with your goals throughout the month in order to ensure financial success.

Leo
Mid month you will feel the urge to assert your creativity and spend your money on such endeavors, particularly on the 14th and the 19th. Be careful of overspending on frivolous resources for projects. Also, on evenings out with friends. Your finances may combust by end of the month, forcing you to budget during the Full Moon on the 19th. The 22nd gives work a boost, however, also makes you feel very limited around money. The 26th makes you take cautionary steps to ensure your financial slump remains a thing of the past.

Virgo
The past month forced you to worry about financial matters. However, this month you are less inclined to focus on money and work. While money will still be on your mind on the 7th and 9th—it won’t be until after the 13th when you end your financial worries. The 13th brings unexpected ups and downs in the financial department, causing frustrations to surface mostly due to you purchasing goods out of your budget. This may even result in you returning your purchases soon after on the 18th. The objective of February is to bring you out of the red and into the green, with the right resourcing and planning this is all possible.

Libra
Work is on a high for you, Libra. You are now the most popular kid on the block. Your employers will take notice of your hard efforts, even offering you a raise on the 14th. Watch out for tensions to rise in the office on the 9th and 19th, as professional jealousy from coworkers will force you to build other influential office buddies, who won’t be envious of your successes. Remember, you don’t have to feel guilty of your career advancement or promotion. You earned it all. You shouldn’t allow your success and the jealousy of others to stand in the way of your happiness.

Scorpio
The New Moon on the 4th forces you to change your personal goals, allowing you to see a life beyond work. Your priorities are shifting this month, which will serve you to focus on building your bank account without compromising your ethics on the 7th. The Full Moon occurring on the 19th brings a lucrative opportunity your way, which will elevate your status—long as you stay true to your personal beliefs. Don’t compromise your values! February ends on a high note, bringing earthly success your way on the 23rd.

Sagittarius
2019 is a very stressful financial year for you, dear Archer. The 9th allows you to take a risk and place a big financial bet. While you may be used to waging your money against the house, this time you will be extra stressed, as you are taking a loan from a backer to place your bets. Whether you win or lose, you won’t be ahead in the game. The 13th encourages you to take one more gamble to improve your circumstances. However, the 18th leaves you financially dry, due to your backers demanding their funding plus interest, ending your credit on the 19th.

Capricorn
The New Moon on February 4th aims set a new financial standard for you, which will benefit you all month, Capricorn. Your disposable income may have taken a hit, however, you have the chance to rebuild your bank account all month long. A new project on the 9th brings major change around your finances, boosting them up and helping you achieve financial nirvana by the Full Moon on the 19th. Don’t give up on your goals this month, with the right incentive and motivation you can save your pennies, allowing your bank account to reach new heights.

Aquarius
The Full Moon on February 19th is the financial event of the year for you, Aquarius. With the Full Moon occurring in both financial sectors of your chart, you will have to reassess the way you spend money—particularly the charges on your credit card. While you may be drawn to spending money on holistic health and occult products, you may have to slow down your overspending. The credit card bill you receive in the mail will exceed your expectations. Use the Full Moon to navigate through your spending, even implementing a payment plan with your credit card company.

Pisces
February is the last month you will feel uncertain about personal finances, as Uranus is ending its 7 year journey through the financial sector of your chart March 6th. However, there are some lessons to learn before the planetary switch. You will have to learn to stay within a budget on the 9th, 13th, and 18th. Work will be running smooth all month, especially on the 11th, when your boss gives you special attention for your hard efforts—most of which you did not see coming. Embrace the glory, Pisces!

January Money ‘Scopes

Aries
January serves as your professional wake up call, as the Sun and Saturn align in the career sector of your chart on January 2nd, implementing a new dream around work. Money matters seem to resolve smoothly on the 3rd and 4th, due to a Grand Water Trine between Venus, the North Node of Destiny, and the asteroid Chiron which will all serve to heal recent financial missteps. The solar eclipse January 5th aims to push your professional life in high gear, however, you may fall victim to personal setbacks, as Neptune is activating your innermost fears to hold you back from achieving your goals. Don’t let your insecurities get in the way of your success on January 8th. You’ve worked hard enough and deserve to prosper this month. January 20th brings inspiration and hope your way, through the support of your colleagues. Also, watch out for news regarding promotion or raise during the lunar eclipse occurring January 21st.

Taurus
With your planetary ruler, Venus, aspecting the house of debt in your chart on January 7th, you will have the next month to figure out your finances. Starting off the new year with a fresh perspective on money will allow your bank account to sore throughout 2019. The solar eclipse January 5th aims to teach you lessons around your spend fast tendencies, pushing you to be more thrifty than you care to be, luxurious Taurus. January 20th elevates your professional status, which leads you to rethink the direction of your career under the lunar eclipse January 21st. January 31st helps you use your connections to your advantage in strategizing your next professional steps—use your contacts wisely!

Gemini
January is a catalyst for you to rethink your financial investments, or, who you invest time in. You kick off 2019 feeling more confused than ever regarding the state of your career. The solar eclipse January 5th pushes you to ask for a raise at work, as you have been putting in massive amounts of overtime. However, you may not receive the payment you had wished for, causing you to second guess your career (especially when your planetary ruler, Mercury, enters the house of joint finances). With the Sun, Saturn, and Mercury lighting up your house of OPM (other peoples money), you feel stuck in more financial limbo during the solar eclipse as bills pile up and your raise is minimal. To further your frustrations, Jupiter and Neptune square off January 13th, which will impact your career, making you rethink your purpose on the 31st. Although circumstances may feel bleak this month, try to persevere through the storm, as February brings a lighter energy your way.

Cancer
A new business partnership is headed your way January 2nd, leading you into the solar eclipse January 5th feeling strong and perilous. The lunar eclipse January 21st brings a financial payback your way, allowing you to sit back and relax. However, the last days of January serve as your financial wake up call to start saving your pennies and stop spending frivolously. A get rich quick scheme or a financial idea from your new partner could leave you feeling like a crab in hot water on January 31st, if you don’t question the circumstances of the investment and do your due diligence in investigating the project.

Leo
The solar eclipse January 5th brings up issues and resentments you’ve had with colleagues. However, you have the opportunity to press the reset button and start anew under the solar eclipse, allowing you to make amends with your coworkers as you move into the new year. January 13th brings a creative opportunity your way. The project may not yield a high salary, but, will give you a chance to put your artistic juices to work. The flip side of this transit, is that you may be over indulging in post New Year’s celebrations, causing financial setbacks to occur, as your credit card is bogged down with frivolous charges. The lunar eclipse January 21st helps you get your head back in focus, as the Moon connects with your Sun, starting your monthly personal New Moon which will lead you into personal growth and professional development.

Virgo
January will make your head spin, Virgo! Especially around financial and professional matters. With your head recently lost in love, you have let your business go and you are now feeling the financial pinch of the matter. Uranus reawakens the house of debt in your chart, firing up your emotions as you see all the bills piling up and your bank account dwindling. Uranus has been moving backwards for the past five months, asking you to reassess your financials since August 7th. With its forward moment on the 6th, you will feel the sting of not planning your finances carefully, causing you to make hasty decisions mid month. January 13th will bring a professional opportunity your way, however, it may not align with your personal values, causing inner turmoil within you. Deciding whether or not to compromise your beliefs will be the focal point of the second half of the month until January 31st, when you decide to abandon the project to protect your ideals.

Libra
Work has been intense for you these past few months, causing your batteries to feel depleted and in need of a recharge. Venus, the North Node of Destiny, and the asteroid Chiron may bring personal and financial success on the 3rd and 4th. However, the solar eclipse on January 5th exhausts you, making you want to retreat from work momentarily. January 6th brings issues regarding work relationships, furthering professional boundaries that are pushed to the max January 8th. The lunar eclipse January 21st brings new career opportunities your way, as long as you have the energy to get out of the house in network. If not, use LinkedIn to your advantage and rub virtual elbows with those who can help advance your career.

Scorpio
2019 is a powerful year for you, Scorpio. You are finally getting the recognition you deserve, as well as the paycheck. The solar eclipse January 5th aims to cement your goals for the year, allowing you to start a whole new chapter in your professional career in publishing and spiritual pursuits. January 13th brings a unique project your way, which will definitely intrigue you. However, don’t sign off on the concept right away, as Neptune has some tricks up its sleeve, which may cause a financial windfall for you. Known to be a powerful financier, after all you are the sign of “sex, death, and taxes,” you may fall victim to a financial scheme on the 13th. Read the fine lines of the document and details of the project before committing, as you may find there are flaws, or, even deception in the contract. The lunar eclipse January 21st brings you a new job title. Enjoy your newly professional status, after all, you’ve earned it!

Sagittarius
Your finances will be taken on a roller coaster throughout January. January 2nd brings a financial loss, due to restrictive Saturn limiting your cash flow. This is heightened during the solar eclipse January 5th when your wallet may feel emptier than ever. A friend may offer assistance during the eclipse. If you decide to take the loan, be clear with the details. Let your friend know how and when you can pay them back. If you are not clear, January 13th can cause more issues than expected around your relationships and money. The solar eclipse January 21st gives you the chance to rethink your finances, with help of an advisor. Take the advice they offer and stick to a budget—this will only serve to help improve your finances.

Capricorn
January is your month for success, dear sea-goat. With your solar return bringing you lessons from your yearly orbit around the Sun, plus Saturn and Mercury aligning with your Sun, you are unstoppable now. Committing to the next dream is essential January 2nd and the 4th. Venus is harmoniously aspecting the North Node of Destiny, who is galvanizing through your house of partnerships, and healing asteroid Chiron, allowing you to put your smooth talking skills to work and collaborate with others on the 3rd and the 4th of January. This empowering energy brings you into the eclipse January 5th feeling stronger than ever, giving you the motivation to transform your world on the 6th, as your old hopes and wishes are reignited by the fortuitous luminary. January 8th brings frustrations around the next big professional step, as you are too eager to rush through projects without understanding what they entail. A big paycheck comes your way on the 20th, bringing you into the lunar eclipse January 21st with gold filling your bank account and an advance payment on your dreams.

Aquarius
January 3rd and 4th bring hopeful news of an impending promotion your way. However, be prepared to fight with your colleagues over the position during the solar eclipse January 5th. January 13th is a powerful day for you, Aquarius. As Jupiter and Neptune square off, you may feel professionally and monetarily stunted, as your bank account will dwindle, causing you alarm. While your loving cup may feel tipped and empty during this time, you will be once again hopeful on the 20th, when you start your solar return. The light will once again shine on you, promising you a lucrative year ahead. The lunar eclipse on the 21st brings a professional partnership to light, making you rethink your commitments to joint ventures. Finally, January 31st makes you more lustful over money—be sure to make secure investments before you cartwheel through your bank account.

Pisces
January is a bit of a mixed energy. The solar eclipse January 5th align you with powerful colleagues, who will help advance your career. The caveat falls within you, dear sea dweller, as you are unsure if you are suited for this career path. You are having a professional existential crisis of sorts on January 13th, which will lead you to question your goals. You may feel as though you have worked so hard on your path and you have hit a brick wall, or, as though there is no advancement in your career. Regardless, you are now motivated to seek out new opportunities and professional directions, which will lead you down the path of success on the 31st.

The New Moon November 7th is a favorable time to consolidate loans or start a new financial plan, as you are able to clear long standing debts under this luminary. Be sure to weigh all options before signing onto a new plan, as Mercury Retrograde, which starts on the 16th, will leave you wondering if you made the right financial decision.

Uranus will bring unexpected highs or lows to the career sector of your chart on the 6th. Try to stay on the cutting edge at work and promote extraordinary, transformative ideas or projects to your boss. Not only will this elevate your status in the office, but, it will also allow your superiors to view you as a pioneer. Just be careful not to step on anyone’s toes, as your colleagues may experience professional jealousy over you on the 16th, when Mercury starts gliding backwards in its retrograde motion.

Leo
Neptune has been swimming backwards for months, forcing you to take a closer look at your debt issues. When Neptune stops it’s backstroke on the 24th, you have the ability to gain insight into the proper steps you need to take in order to heal your debt. This may take some time to figure out, especially, since the Sun and Jupiter are urging you spend frivolously this month. Take your time, keep your eyes open and be aware of your spending this month, in order to keep the current issue under control.

Virgo
Venus’s backwards journey is now hitting your finances hard, forcing you to revisit financial missteps from September. Retrogrades are a great time to revise and reorganize financial matters. Think of this as your time to redo past spending faux pas—even hitting the rewind button or returning purchases bought then. The Nodal shift on the 6th allows you to finally gain recognition amongst your peers, while the Full Moon on the 23rd illuminates a new path or opportunity for you to take at work, which will elevate your position.

Libra
Both Venus and Uranus Retrograde have reeked havoc on your chart—particularly your finances since September (when Venus entered its pre retrograde shadow). November serves to give you relief from the financial lulls and stresses you have been under for the past few months. As the Nodes of Destiny switch signs on the 6th, your career gets a sudden bump. Try not to overextend yourself—balance out your work and personal time to create an equilibrium, allowing you to steadily increase your workout, not a burnout from taking on too many projects at once.

Scorpio
The 6th may ignite the flame with your colleagues, sparking past issues and rivalries to engulf the office. While the bright flames may intrigue you, step away from the from the spectacle, as it will burn you the most if you engage. November 8th brings an abundance of wealth your way, heightening on November 22nd when the Sun highlights the financial sector of your chart, allowing you to treat yourself to fanciful treats and gifts—after all, you’ve earned it!

Sagittarius
The Nodes of Destiny enter the house of other people’s money and property (OPM and OPP) on the 6th, lending insight into your relationship with money—particularly overspending. It’s time to make a plan to payback loans, debts, and manage your finances with care, which unfortunately means no more reckless spending! Penny pinching may be challenging at first, however, your fiery optimism and can do attitude will help you overcome any obstacle at hand.

Capricorn
Venus Retrograde will change your career—for the better! Venus, who glided back into the career sector of your chart on Halloween, has given you a chance during its backspin to change your work situations and goals. Think about your endgame, see what you can change in your career and with the relationship you have with your boss. This will help you achieve your goals swiftly.

Aquarius
Jupiter’s ingress into Sagittarius on November 8th will bring endless possibilities to your loving cup. Yes, dear Aquarius, the next year will be extremely fortunate to your networking skills, even bringing hopes of a new job or promotion. Also, expect to have more clarity on finances as illusive planet Neptune, stops playing tricks on your finances on the 24th, by turning direct. Financial affairs may be a little cloudy still, but, you will be able to keep your head above water by the end of November.

Pisces
As your planetary ruler enters the dignified sign of Sagittarius on the 8th, you will experience a surge in status. Luck runs high through the career sector of your chart, granting success and even a promotion. Don’t overthink your luck on the 16th—jump into the ocean and embrace all the gifts and fame the universe has bestowed upon you.

I spent a really long time avoiding working with the dead. Even though I was out of the broom closet in my 20’s, I wasn’t ready for such intense work. I was also already 30 by the time a close relative passed away, so death just hadn’t touched my life yet. But from that point it hasn’t slowed down.

I’ve lost so many people to addiction, Cancer and suicide that I’ve lost count. Once death started happening, and my loved ones still felt close by, to the point of appearing in dreams and visions, I realized it was the missing puzzle piece to my magical practice. I set up a simple altar and they were front and center from that moment, ever present and ready to guide in the right direction.

This magic has brought me to such an incredibly healing place, as well as to straight up slap in the face reality checks.

At 9 years old, I died on the operating table. My appendix burst while they were doing surgery. My childhood was plagued with stomach aches. This particular one was worse than usual and landed me in the hospital. After the operation, I was held there for 3 weeks, with a needle in some vein or another the entire time, eating every Italian Ice in the place, and driving the staff insane. I look back and see this incident as to what led me here, all these years later, working with the dead and my ancestors and preparing to be an end of life doula. The dead, at least my dead, don’t fuck around when they want me to learn a lesson.

As I approach the one year anniversary of my fathers death next month, which has shook the very foundation of who I am, I thank him, all my blood dead as well as all of those that have passed in my magical lineage, for their constant guidance and love, and for always having my back.

The best part of this practice is that it is relatively easy to reach the dead in your bloodline, even if you’ve never met. An easy set up to start with is a white candle, a glass of water, photos ( only of deceased people ) and an offering of some kind. If you know their tastes in food, alcohol, etc. you can leave those as well.

For example, my grandfather loved red licorice, so I always buy him Twizzlers. My grandmother lived on chocolate and lipton tea, so I always make sure those things are there, too. Choose one day a week to sit in front of your altar, light the candle, put out the offerings and just be still. Tell them your troubles and ask for guidance. Sit and just listen. If you have trouble making a connection, persevere, and over time things will start to happen.

Beginning a meditative practice will be of great assistance to help you quiet your mind so that you can hear what they’re trying to communicate to you. I’m truly stunned at all the distant relatives (and when I mean distant, I mean 500 years ago) that have made their presence known. And once that connection is made, you have a constant feeling of someone having your back and guiding you to a better life. I invite you to celebrate your beloved dead during the thinnest of veils between worlds, Samhain, and make magic that will change your life.

Natalie is a Tarot reader, Medium, and a student of Astrology. She is a Priestess in several traditions of Witchcraft, and enjoys all variety of plant medicine, sigil magic, and ecstatic ritual. She spends her time traveling between the veils, studying the dark arts and crafts, and creating ritual goods and self care items for her online store Skeleton Key Shop. Her favorite moments are spent making magic with her coven Deam Lux and snuggling with her bunny familiars.

Santeria, also known as Lucumi or La Regla de Ocha is an initiatory religion with origins in West Africa, that was brought to Cuba, Brazil and other regions of the Caribbean during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Centered around deities known as Orishas, that were often syncretized with Catholic Saints in order to preserve the practice in secret.

I am a Priestess of Yemaya in the Lucumi Tradition, more commonly known as a “Santera”. When you come into my home it looks mostly like everyone else’s. You won’t find huge altars full of statues and candles, or chicken feet hanging from the ceiling. In fact my home looks pretty ordinary besides my penchant for crystals, apothecary jars, and the spaces reserved for my Ancestors and other practices which are usually kept out of sight.

You wouldn’t know what I practice unless I specifically told you, or if you too were a practitioner and able to read the subtle signs. A certain charm on my necklace that is only prescribed during ordination as a priest or the bracelets I always wear that match with none of my outfits. My close friends know that certain foods are taboo for me. I also try to avoid getting wet in the rain – also a taboo for me. Sounds strange, but becoming deathly ill twice after getting caught in the rain makes you realize that your Abuela is sometimes right! My point is that the Lucumi religion is a highly personalized practice that is fitted to the individual. What is medicine for one person can be poison for another.

According to the lore of this practice, which is purely oral tradition, we are all born with our ORI. In new age terms, this is our higher self. This higher self is connected to our life’s path and comes with an innate knowledge of certain things. It has its own power, or ASHE. Although we have free will to make our way through life, it is our ORI that repeatedly nudges us in the direction of our best life, whether this is through people that we meet, or a seemingly random chain of events. These moments and people change the entire course of our lives, as it did mine.

“You wouldn’t know what I practice unless I specifically told you, or if you too were a practitioner and able to read the subtle signs.”

I was born into a family that suffers from Bipolar disorder, Depression, and Schizophrenia. Unfortunately, some of my family members committed suicide. My mother attempted suicide when I was just two years old. She had gone off her medication during pregnancy in order to carry me at great risk to herself. As we know, postpartum depression is very serious. It is even more so for people already living with mental illness. Miraculously, she survived what should have been a fatal injury. Still, she was hospitalized with a fractured spine. For the next three years, she would relearn how to walk and perform basic motor functions. During this time, I was cared for by my grandmother. Abuela was a priestess of Vodou, as practiced in the Dominican Republic. She was also a nurse at an elderly care facility. Every day, I would watch her pray, work, and help the streams of people that came for her assistance. She would sit me at her altar – in this case and practice, there were many statues and candles – and taught me how to pray. I prayed every night for my mother to come back to me as she was, although I was warned repeatedly that she may never walk again. Against all odds and prognoses, she made a full recovery. Though I went back to my normal life, I never forgot my introduction to this world. My innocent prayers were heard by these mysteries, as they were called.

Fast forward to my early 20’s. After years of solitary practice, I found a pagan path where I was exploring traditional witchcraft and being offered initiation. Coincidentally, I was presented with an opportunity to read tarot in a famous New York botanica (Nudge.) At this time, I had absolutely zero interest in the religions of my culture. Yet, I was suddenly immersed head first into this world. Instead of crystals, pretty talismans, and perfume oils, I was surrounded by Catholic statues, camphor, cigars, Florida Water, and images of the Orisha.

A close friend and colleague had been seeing someone whom she called “Her Padrino.” She was super secretive about her interactions with this person, which I found rather creepy. Sometimes, she would show up to work dressed completely in white and be eerily silent most of the day. She was my polar opposite, as I was wearing all black and blasting My Chemical Romance each morning. I was the one that customers would gravitate to for hexing and separation work. Looking back, I realize that I was ANGRY with a lot of things in my life and that this was a perfect outlet at the time. Though my tireless work was effective, my aura was dark.

A particularly cool shipment of statues came in one day, and my High Priestess presented me with an extravagant gift, a large statue of the Orisha Yemaya. She was a brown skinned, bare breasted mermaid with a pink tail, a jeweled crown on her head and holding a silver star in her hands (Nudge). This was odd as I was being trained in Initiatory Wicca, which has absolutely nothing to do with Orisha practice, or other African Diasporic religions. (This is the realm of usually ill-informed eclectic witches and a whole separate topic). She said simply, “You should have this. This is you.” I laughed, thanked her and accepted the gift, as alien as it was. Truthfully, this lovely statue stayed in her padded foam box for several years as I had no idea what to do with her.

“Instead of crystals, pretty talismans, and perfume oils, I was surrounded by Catholic statues, camphor, cigars, Florida Water, and images of the Orisha. ”

Around the same time my colleague and fellow Bruja invited me to a drumming. An Orisha drumming is not anything like a pagan drum circle. It is normally reserved for initiates or for members of an Ile, a temple or house of Orisha. I don’t know how this even happened, but I went to the event.I could hear the drums before I even entered and they immediately gave me a faint queasy feeling, like butterflies in my chest. When we entered the large room, the air was surprisingly thick and humid. To the left was a huge altar called a Throne. It was adorned with fabric, fruits, sweets and other items gleaming in shades of gold and pink. Three drums were set up in the front of this room. As the drums were played, my friend and I stayed plastered to the back wall hoping that no one would ask us who invited us, or why we were there, as the girl who had extended the invite in the first place was a no show.

I watched the people dance, their methodical steps giving way to abandon and wild movements at times that frightened me. A woman danced alone in front of the drums, her clothes plastered with sweat and her face beet red. After a time she was ushered away, only to return with a glistening blue and silver shawl around her neck, her hair wrapped up in another lovely fabric, and several younger people escorting her where she wanted to go, as she seemed to move through the room like a butterfly, speaking to some and ignoring others. I could see the people present crying and I did not understand why.

I honestly felt a pang of panic at this time and I wanted to leave. When I told my friend this, she flatly said that it was too late to leave. Once an Orisha had joined the event, possessing an initiate, it would be considered extremely rude to walk out the door, and there was no way of doing it sneakily as they (the Orishas) were capable of seeing and hearing everything in the room at once, including our thoughts. Now I was truly shitting myself and broke out in a cold sweat, when this woman immediately made eye contact with me and walked straight in my direction. At first I returned her gaze, but the closer she drew, the more unsettling it became and I shifted my eyes down towards my feet.

She came right up to me and grabbed my chin upwards. At this moment I was being yelled at by my friend who was trying to show me how to properly greet The Orisha, but I was frozen to the spot and her grip on my face was not soft. As per the woman who appeared by her side to translate, this was the Orisha Yemaya who was speaking to me (Nudge). She proceeded to speak about my mother’s accident (I had never shared this with anyone at that point in my life as I was too ashamed). She said that the spirits of my homeland had heard my prayers saving my mother and myself from living out that tragedy, but that I ultimately belonged to HER, and to all of them. I opened my mouth to ask how and my friend shook her head rapidly at me with bulging eyes. Instead I nodded and crossed my arms, bowing my head a little, as I had seen others do. She passed her beautiful embroidered cloth all over my body, and I felt the crackle of energy like electricity as all the hairs on my arms and head rose. Her last words to me were “Don’t worry, you will see.” I did see.

“Once an Orisha had joined the event, possessing an initiate, it would be considered extremely rude to walk out the door, and there was no way of doing it sneakily as they (the Orishas) were capable of seeing and hearing everything in the room at once, including our thoughts.”

The chain of events to follow were less like nudges and more like blows upside the head! I chose to share this to show something that few share on Social Media. The magic of these Orisha goes way beyond spells and altars, and deep into ancestral healing and realignment with one’s destiny. It’s an experiential religion that creates deep, personal growth and change for each person it touches. To those seeking the Orisha, I advise you to really SEEK them, so that you can have these life-changing and miraculous experiences for yourself.

I was recently moved to tears and brought to my knees in front of an Orisha, Babalu Aye (syncretized with Saint Lazarus, Patron of illness and disease) after hearing that a member of my Ile, an elder and sister to me within this practice, was now Cancer Free. This beautiful and humble Orisha not only alerted her to the unknown illness in her body but also CURED her, through his prescriptions and guidance of her elders, in a time span of only several weeks. These stories and experiences are the truth about this religion and practice. This is why practitioners spend so much time, blood, sweat and tears working ceremonies with our spiritual community as well as with seekers needing help and guidance. If your Orisha practice consists only of spells on an altar, or selfies of your beaded necklaces with cigar in mouth, then I am here to tell you that you are missing out on so much more. There is a whole world out there, just waiting for you to dig a little deeper.

She currently resides in Redondo Beach California.

In my 15+ years working in the occult community, the most common things I hear are “How do I get ( insert desire here)?” and “Someone put a voodoo curse on me.”

If you believe you are cursed the first question you need to ask is, “Why?”

Why do you assume a Voodoo practitioner put a curse on you? Do you think you’re that special, my little snowflake? Unless you did something to screw one of us over, most of us have better things to do with our time and talents than to throw our energy at you and, if that’s the case than maybe you should check yourself, and start a meditation practice for some self examinaton and really see how you’re behaving because most magical practitioners I know have better things to do.

My other problem with this statement is that it’s always a Voodoo curse, or Santeria, and it’s one of the most ignorant comments that I hear on a regular basis. Did you ever think that the Wiccan in the muumuu might want to make your life a living hell? A curse can be thrown by ANY magical practitioner of any path. Norse practitioners, ceremonial magicians, satanists, to name a few, can all do damage if they want to. Whether or not you’ve been hexed, your first step to be a witch should be mastering your psychic development, which includes psychic self defense and strengthening your energetic field ( the invisible “egg” shape surrounding your body ) not “I want to do a love spell to force that person who’s never been nice to me to be my boy/girlfriend,” not “I want to summon a Goetic demon etc, etc, so and so fucking forth. STOP! Before you hurt yourself, seriously.

To be a successful practitioner of magic you need to master yourself, not your external circumstances, first.

When you change, the world around you changes but if you’re only trying to control your environment all you’re doing is AVOIDING YOUR SHIT. Yes, I said your shit. Don’t look at me like that, we’ve all got a lot of things about ourselves that we’d rather not look at. On top of that, we project our issues onto those around us if we are not self-aware. Whether you like it or not, those people that piss you off so much are mirroring something back at you that you’d rather not see in yourself. The fastest and easiest way to strengthen your aura and, not only protect yourself from others but also to protect others from you ( no one wants your crap, keep it to yourself please! ) is what’s called the egg of light visualization.

Stand up with your feet together, arms at your sides and close your eyes. Now imagine that your entire body is encased in an egg extending approximately 9 inches all the way around you, including under your feet and above your head. Visualize a bright blue light filling the egg. Maintain that blue light while seeing a silvery white sphere a foot above your head and slowly allow the silvery white energy from the sphere to enter your egg and the crown chakra at the top of your head. Let it drip down into your throat, chest, arms and fingers, your back, hips, legs and feet to the tip of your toes and feel this light energizing every cell in your body. Hold the egg shape and the silvery energy in your minds eye as long as possible. When it fades know that it is still there and protecting you even though you can no longer see it. By practicing this exercise a few minutes a day you will soon be able to make it appear at a moments notice just by thinking about it. The best part about mastering this practice is that it improves your life in general from increasing your self confidence and vitality but also by being able to pick up on negative people and troubling situations before they occur.

And at the end of the day, if you REALLY need to send someones crap back at the them, just throw their name or a picture inside a mirrored compact with some command, control, and compel oil, wrap tape completely around it, and then throw it somewhere dark and forget about it.

Our menstrual blood as We’Moon is sacred.

“It is prophesied that when all women are giving their blood back to the Earth in a sacred way, all the men will come home from war and there will be peace on Earth again.” ~ Hopi Nation

When Matriarchal societies ruled; Women would gather in the Red Tent to bleed. We understood the power of retreating during our flow. Allowing us the space to receive Divine messages through increased intuition.

Practicing rituals to honor the Goddess within.

Unfortunately, in modern Western society this tradition has been dormant. Wombyn have been taught to be discreet and silent about their menstrual cycle – pad or plug it up, as if it’s a plague. This negative connotation disconnects Women from the very fluids that create us.

It is my passion to assist Women in remembering, reconnecting and reclaiming the sacredness of their blood through ritual. Reframing the experience of your period to be one of pleasure, instead of pain.

Below is a ritual invitation for your next cycle;

Day 1 of bleeding: Create an altar

A beautiful visual to honor yourself with.

Create an altar with crystals, feathers, flowers, or whatever feels good to you! Infuse it with love! Say a prayer in gratitude for yourself, Gaia and the Great Goddess.

On my altar are:

Amethyst~Quartz~Spirit Quartz~Rose Quartz

Koa Wood Carved Egg (fertility)

Butterfly wings I’ve collected (transformation)

Rose petals (feminine/love)

Feathers (grace)

Day 2 of bleeding: Womb Massage

Most likely, you hardly touch your stomach with appreciation. Giving yourself a womb massage is a wonderful way to adorn yourself and create a physical connection to your body.

I use a ‘Womb Salve’ and I rub it on my abdomen/womb clockwise. Mugwort, (the main ingredient in the salve) increases circulation of blood. Thus relieving cramps, as it repels stagnation; cold and dampness in the Uterus.

You can use your favorite essential oil too! Clary sage, lavender, rose, and ylang ylang are all supportive oils for moon time.

Day 3 of bleeding: Anoint yourself

This one takes courage, as it’s way beyond comfort for some! It took me about a year of catching my blood before I practiced this.

Transfer blood from menstrual cup into a small bowl or jar. Lovingly say a prayer to yourself, honoring your ability to create life, as you dip your fingers into your blood. Notice any negative thoughts that arise, and ask they be transmuted into love as you take your fingers to your third eye (between the brow) and gently touch them to your forehead to make a heart, star or a crescent moon (as the Avalon priestess would do!).

You can continue to draw on your body, if you feel inclined. I found it liberating to draw on my womb!

Day 4 of bleeding: Offer it to the plants

Menstrual blood carries 385 proteins unique ONLY to menstrual blood. It’s incredibly nourishing to the soil, helping plants grow.

(I love to give it to my Mugwort).

Pick a flower, plant or tree and ask it’s permission to give it your menstrual blood.

(Permission in magic & ritual is KEY)

Transfer the blood collected from your cup, tampon or pad into a cup, jar or vase and dilute it with water.

As you pour into soil, say a blessing or prayer.

(use your Intuition, there is no right or wrong)

It can be: what you are releasing in this cycle, and what you wish for the plant to circulate & grow. The beauty of mother nature is her ability to recycle energy, to create anew!

My prayer is these practical and magical rituals serve you to cultivate a deeper connection to the Earth, the Moon and your Womb.

Money ‘Scopes by Darla Downing

Aries
The bills may seem endless this month, Aries. Every day you may receive a new letter asking for money owed. All this financial stress may lead to exhaustion. However, Venus Retrograde, which starts on the 5th can help to consolidate credit, make payment plans, and offer debt relief. Calling in a financial advisor, or asking for advice from others, on the 12th will help elevate your assets on the 26th. Don’t be a hero, use your fiery energy to get assistance, instead of falling victim to endless bills.

Taurus

While others may be scrambling to keep their livelihood afloat this month, you are mostly concerned with partnerships—deciding what projects and people to invest your money and time in. The 5th causes you to rethink recent endeavors, giving you the option to renegotiate recent contracts. The 26th gives you clarity, as you may possibly renege on a deal. Listen to your intuition this month, if a deal, contract, or situation doesn’t feel right—let it go, move on to the next project right away and don’t waste time on nonsense.

Gemini

Your intellectual nature often motivates you to logically assess work and financial matters. However, October leaves you feeling lost, as your pristine crystal clear judgement is now foggy. Disappointments at work on the 18th and 19th may force you to feel lost in terms of your career, as feelings of inadequacy come to surface. The 20th and 22nd urge you to take control of financial and career power dynamics. But, you may take a step back, opting to ride the wave before taking any actions, due to your lack of career motivation and uncertainty this month.

Cancer

Living in a rich girl’s world this October allows you to step out of your shell and spend the fruits of your labor on forbidden pleasures. This is quite exciting for you, dear crab, as you often spend frugally. The 5th and the 26th jumpstart your urge to invest on passion projects. Just be watchful over your investments and contracts with others on the 24th, as a “trusted” party may lead you astray on the 27th.

Leo

Often the life of the party, you tend to overspend quite often. This will cause issues in October, as your generous heart has left you scrambling for cash. As Venus starts to glide backwards on October 5th, you will immediately start to feel the financial pinch. Don’t stress, sweet lion! Use October to revise your monetary plan and create a budget. Even though you may feel financially overwhelmed and your bank account may be underwhelmed, you have the opportunity to enhance your assets with simple planning and foresight, which will allow you to feel more in control of your finances by the 26th.

Virgo

Spending money frivolously with friends this past month sure has put a drain on your once lush bank account. October begins with the heat on your finances, causing you to feel the financial drain on the 3rd and 7th. The 31st brings a new chance to revise your finances, as Venus moves backwards through your house of finances, offering you an opportunity to change the game for November.

Libra

This month takes a bite out of your bank account, Libra. As your planetary ruler, Venus, glides backwards in the financial sector of your chart (starting on October 5th), the next 41 days will prove to be taxing on you, creating much anxiety around money. Be cautious this month! Do not spend your cash on fanciful inclinations and desires. Try to create a penchant for coupon clipping and bargain deals, which will help you reassess your wallet by Halloween, when Venus aligns with your Sun, thus, allowing you to spend your savings on a lovely costume, drinks, and fun with friends.

Scorpio

October may prove to be challenging for you, Scorpio. Venus kicks off her retrograde journey October 5th, on your Sun, forcing you to make minor financial touch ups. This may come as a surprise to you, after all, you are usually financially responsible. The 9th gives you the opportunity to address your current financial missteps, giving you the chance to clear your current monetary lulls on the 23rd, by bringing in an advisor on the 24th to help you budget.

Sagittarius

Your current financial state may be stressful, as you’re nearing your account minimum. Luckily for you, Sag, your friends step in on October 2nd and offer you financial support. While you may view their kindness as unnecessary, accepting their help on the 4th, will allow you to be at ease on the 5th. Be aware, the loan does come with strings. Try to make proper guidelines and boundaries on the 7th and 9th, by openly discussing a payback plan. If not, the 22nd will prove to be challenging with your peers and your wallet.

Capricorn

Known for your work horse drive and determination, you often place all your efforts into your career. However, this month, you are swept away by politics, dedicating yourself more as a SJW than a workaholic. Your charisma will be placed on humanitarian efforts, starting on the 5th, as unsavory news hits the airways. The 14th gives you an opportunity to assess your beliefs, creating a platform to express yourself, allowing for you to raise money for your cause on the 18th, 26th, and 31st.

Aquarius
All work and no play can make your loving cup feel under nourished and appreciated. October 5th forces you to dedicate your energy toward work, as major shifts and transformations at the workplace are underway, making you feel like a fish out of water. This may cause frustrations within, as you won’t have time to enjoy the frivolities of life for most of October. Keep the faith, dear Aquarius! The 29th allows you to burn off some steam as work issues clear up, allowing for you to celebrate Halloween with friends with no worries.

Pisces

With your head mostly in the clouds this month, your finances will take a sudden windfall. The 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 13th will cause utter confusion regarding your dwindling assets. As you struggle to keep your finances above water, in the first half of the month, try to keep a diary of your spending. The 18th and 19th boost your assets, allowing for financial clarity on the 29th. Expect a monetary gift from your spirits on Halloween, as you are the recipient of a wonderful financial surprise.
