This month's blue full moon is a special one as it is our second full moon in Capricorn in a row! 🌝♑️ To honor this rare astral event, I did a quick tarot pull asking three questions:
In the earthen spirit of Capricorn, of course I got lots of pentacles, clarity, and straightforwardness with this reading. Read below for for the spread!
✨What we are working with: THE WORLD! 🌎 Could this be more on brand for this summer? Collectively, even if we don’t realize it, we are all working towards our version of unity, especially during this crucial election year. Even if we feel disconnected, unity and togetherness seems to be the message lately.
✨What can help? TWO OF PENTACLES REVERSED. Essentially this means poise, professionalism, forcing smiles, communication, and faking it till you make it. This could mean strategically communicating for effectiveness or putting on a smile even if you dont feel like it. It could mean shutting up, checking your ego, and listening to others to gain perspective and clarity. Or it could mean forcing ourselves to get out of our funk and do something pleasurable. Shifting and controlling energies is the key to ritual work (and life) which can help you soar! Need help bringing this into focus? Try using blue stones like lapis or chrysocolla, golden crystals like pyrite or rutile, and orange or yellow stones like citrine or sulphur. Herbs like Chaparral reinforce boundaries.
✨What can hinder us? SEVEN OF PENTACLES. 🌿 Don’t over analyze. Don’t get lost in the sauce. Don’t get trapped in the past or in your thoughts or feelings. Live in the moment, push forward, keep your eye on the prize, compromise, and reap the rewards. Earthy oils and woods like Palo Santo help to ground an recenter.
Hope this helps!
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.
