On this Monday, day of the Moon, I claim all of Luna’s gifts, blessings, and healing into my body, mind, and spirit. May I make the space needed to experience the highest vibrations of love on this Valentine’s Day: self love, romantic love, and universal love. I am a vessel of love in all of its forms, and easily give and receive love, compassion, and joy with ease, including to myself. With these ritual tools, I sanctify all of the love in my life and the love yet to come, and I express gratitude for all of the love in my life and love yet to come. With these words I set my intention.
MANTRA 2: Goddess call to bless current love or new love
On this Valentine’s Day, I call on Aphrodite, Inanna, Astarte, and Hathor! May they clear any and all blockages between me and love, in all of its forms, and heal and grow all love that is meant for me. I call in the energies of these goddesses, angels, and ancestors of the Light to bless all of the love that is in my life now and provide me strength to show up with love in my most sacred relationships. I claim all of my love abundance! I claim all of my love blessings! I claim all of the love and joy intended for me! With these words I set my intention.
MANTRA 3: Healing + calling in new love
On this day of love, passion and joy, I honor my heart space by gently releasing what and who is no longer is in service and collaboration with my heart space. As I chant the mantra of the heart chakra, I clear all dense, stagnant, or negative energy: (chant “YAAAAMMM” as many times as you feel necessary). May my heart space filled with self-love and space held for new, romantic love. May my Guides lead new love to me in Divine timing. May my spirit team guide me toward all forms of love for my highest good. With these words I set my intention.
Finally, Mist yourself and your space with our Honeysuckle & Jasmine Ritual Mist to seal in your intentions. Light the palo santo found inside the ritual kit using a candle flame, and the feather tool to waft the smoke. Palo Santo welcomes positive spirits and energies. Let the tea light burn out, and burn the Roses candle for at least two hours before extinguishing with a candle snuff, sold here.

As the Sun dips into the fiery heart of summer, July emerges—golden, long, and lazy. And right alongside it, the zodiac’s watery guardian, Cancer, takes the helm. July is one of the few month’s of the year (next to March or April, depending on the date of Ostara) where a pagan holiday or fire festival is not observed, yet the middle of summer seems almost ritualistic in how entrenched we become with the richness of the season. Looking further, it only makes sense as to why Cancer, summer’s sweetest star sign, is the mascot to the start of summer. Here’s why the vibrancy of July and the nurturing essence of Cancer are cosmic twins—bound by symbolism, season, and soul.
A celebration of identity, liberation, and self-expression— Pride Month is an annual honoring of the LGBTQIA+ community’s history, resilience, and ongoing pursuit of equality. While astrologically Pride Month falls within Gemini and Cancer seasons, the bold and untamed spirit of the Sagittarius full moon each June aligns strikingly with the energy that fuels Pride’s essence: truth-seeking, radical authenticity, and freedom from oppression.
As we navigate the celestial currents of 2025, a unique astrological event awaits: both Venus and Mercury will be retrograde simultaneously. Venus will transition from Aries to Pisces during its retrograde, while Mercury will retrograde in Aries. This rare cosmic alignment offers a profound opportunity for introspection, reassessment, and personal growth. When these two influential planets appear to move backward in the sky, their retrograde energies prompt us to slow down and reevaluate critical aspects of our lives. While the experience may seem challenging, it ultimately serves as a chance to heal, reset, and reconnect with our true desires and intentions.
