Sirens as we all know are associated with both Venus and Mars. Venus for their loving and water aspects and Mars for their seductive aspects. Like a siren, we want to channel that energy of seducing someone into the depths of the ocean or carry ourselves as such.

Come along with us as we walk alongside you, introducing you with the herbs associated with Venus, Mars, and siren elements to create your own Siren Oil 🐚🫧

*:𓇼⋆ HERBS USED *:𓇼⋆

Venus: Damiana. Dill Weed, Rose, Yarrow,

Mars : Basil, Mustard Seed, Pennyroyal, Lady's Mantle

Valentine's Day Astrology Forecast 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

This year's Valentine’s day we can expect heavy energies with Saturn going direct into Aries on the 14th of February so for those with natal Saturn in Aries will in be their Saturn return. Themes of this nature will include heavy energies, topics and themes of authority, self identity and boundaries with yourself and others, but that is not all that we can expect on this day.

This day we can bring outward thoughts of inner expression that we have been struggling to convey such as limiting belief systems that are holding us back pertaining to how we view ourselves, how we communicate with others, the boundaries we set, and what it is that we are truly working toward and passionate about. This transit may bring to your attention the false sense of security of "comfortability” and the things that you have surrounded yourself with that no longer resonate with who you are as a person or your goals, this asks you to strip away from the things that you’ve held so dearly to that is getting in the way of what you are truly wanting and desiring. This is a time to step outside of the box that you haven’t realized you have put yourself in and exceed your everyday limitations.

This transit can also bring themes of having the energy and passion of wanting to start new things but running aimlessly into the fog of undecided intentions. Many people during this time can struggle with energy management and can burn themselves out quickly especially people who hold Aries within their big three, Cancer risings, and Scorpio risings. This asks you to re-evaluate what truly is holding you back, what's your intention, where is your focus and exactly how you want to channel that energy.

You may be asking where is the love? With all of these heavy energies it can be harder to pinpoint where we can succeed in the aspects of love but there is hope. With Venus moving into Pisces this energy being exalted there can be a call to bring back romance and sentimentality between the relationship or a new approach as to how you see and view romance. Venus will also be conjunct the sun in Aquarius. There will be a need to surround yourself with things that give you peace and inner beauty. This can be a good time to participate in physical activities, participate within artistic pursuits and or re-evaluating values within interpersonal relationships and friendships.

Now the biggest question... Who will this heavily affect?

Aries Rising This will affect the self- how you are showing up within the world around you and the ideals that you have aligned yourself with. This will have you reshape the way in which you see yourself and how you think of your long term goals that are attached to your sense of self. Cancer Rising This will be highlighting themes of your career and public status during this time you may be challenged with finding who you are within your place within your career, people with this ascendant may find themselves wearing themself thin and being burned out, doing extra work for small bits of progress.  There can also be issues here surrounding  authority and feeling as if your work is going unnoticed or you’re not able to produce creativity and being challenged to overcome stagnation with your work ethic and career. Libra Rising This transit will affect your relationships with others. This transit will bring you themes of forming stronger boundaries with others. This is all about asserting your personal needs equally and getting what you deserve in your relationships instead of settling. Capricorn Rising This transit will affect your personal world of home and emotional security and if you are being nurtured the way you are needing during this time. This is a time where you feel called to hold down the fort and build a stronger foundation when it comes to the place that you call home. Your home life may call for more attention as there may be a lot of chaos to be expected here so you will need to find balance and security here. Independence will also be a theme with this transit.

On this day during these transits the best spiritual practices that can be done during this time is that surrounding confidence, inner power, self love, and glamour, with specific transits you can tailor to receive the desired result catered to that planetary alignment, i.e (Venus conjunct Sun can be used for love attraction) For those who are looking into casting attractions it is imperative that you cast this spell from the intention of inner power instead of inner lack, make sure that you are surrounded by the energies of which you are trying to call in and or attract.

Being into the occult is really hard when you've done actual research because 99% of it in any western tradition is "white guy made it up/stole that from a different complicated system of occult philosophy (from a closed or semi closed culture of course) without any key context"

Easy Tarot Reading Guide

There are a lot of different ways for tarot reading but I always had a hard time memorizing all those cards and meanings and this is the easiest guide that I have used. If you have trouble reading cards and you want to learn, this may be a good start.

The first thing you should know is you build a story with cards, they are not flashcards you sit and remember the exact meanings.

The Major Arcana is basically "the Fools' Journey". If you remember the story arc, you will have an easier time recalling the cards.

Example: The Fool = innocence, new start; The Magician = potential

If you would like to read the full breakdown I have for The Fools' Journey, click here or the link at the bottom of this post!

The Minor Arcanas are like 4 stories of life through different lenses:

Cups - emotions/love

Wands - creativity/drive

Swords - mind/conflict

Pentacles - material/work

Next use numbers for quick meanings. Each number has a "theme" that applies across suits:

Ace: new beginnings, pure energy

Two: balance, duality, choice

Three: growth, expansion

Four: stability, stagnation

Five: conflict, change

Six: harmony, solution

Seven: challenger, illusion

Eight: movement. mastery

Nine: fruition, attainment

Ten: completion, end of cycle

So 5 of Cups: cups - emotions/love + 5 - conflict/ change = which could mean grief or loss Another example: 5 of Pentacles: pentacles - material/work + 5 - conflict/change = which could mean financial hardship

The next thing we are going to look at is the court cards, we are basically going to look at them as types of people.

Pages: students, beginners, messengers

Knights: action, questing, extremes

Queens: inner mastery, nurturing

Kings: outer mastery, authority

Now just pair it with the suits:

Knight of Swords: swords - mind/conflict + Knight - action, questing, extremes = could mean rash thinkers Queen of Cups: queen - inner mastery, nurturing + Cups = emotions/love = emotionally wise or nurturing

This is all a good start but if you need another extra tip, the next thing I would do is look at the cards. Most decks are designed with symbolism so you can read it at a glance. Most of the time when reading how to learn to read tarot, the sole thing they want you to do is look at the cards and read the meanings but for me, it was easier learning from everything above and then incorporating the imagery as a extra tool on top of everything learned above.

Example:

3 of Swords literally has a heart pierced by 3 swords = heartbreak 8 of Swords shows someone bound & blindfolded = trapped in the mind
