Mercury Retrograde begins June 18 and ends July 12. Mercury will be retrograding through Cancer♋️ the sign of the home, mother, family, history, women, nurture, emotional behavior, and cycles.

If you’re able to, I suggest taking care of your priorities now like paying bills and taking care of obligations ahead of time for July so you can make space to have a smooth Retrograde period. Retrogrades are notorious for delays and slowing things down so it’s good to make space for the slower pace.

💫The Rule of “Re”. 💫

During (any) retrograde transits it’s always a good idea to focus on doing tasks/activities that begin with the letters “re-”. Especially if they’re related to the sign a particular planet is currently retrograding through. Here’s a few examples:

-Redo

-Relax

-Review

-Redirect

-Reorganize

-Repair

-Repay

-Renovate

-Reinvent

-Rejuvinate

-Reunion

-Recommit

-Remember

-Reconnect

-Restructure

-Reform

-Redecorate

-Retreat

-Revive

-Re-edit

-Reassess

-Replenish

-Rekindle

-Reminisce

-Relocate

-Refinance

-Renegotiate

Witch Tips: Processing Solar Eclipse Energy

Hello fellow witches!

We have a solar eclipse coming up this week at 00° Cancer. This is a Big Deal™ new moon and if you align your magic with the lunar cycles at all, you should be paying attention. I know following moon cycles can feel overwhelming as a witchling (sorry, I detest the phrase “baby witch” - take and own your fucking power, you are NOT a baby), so here’s a quick way to break down the energy of eclipse cycles.

1. Solar eclipses do not function like normal new moons…not really. Though you can set intentions like you might on a “regular” new moon - eclipse magic is wild and unpredictable. Eclipses have a way of aligning you with where you are supposed to be which can sometimes be different from where you think that you want to be. What does that mean? Rather than setting a direct and concrete intention, try a more open ended one. “I trust the Universe to align me with the highest good” or “I embrace the challenges that come into my life as important lessons that I can work through with ease.” 2. Pay attention to what happens to you on the day of the eclipse (specifically) and what happens to you for the two weeks afterward between this solar eclipse in Cancer and the end of our eclipse tunnel at the lunar eclipse in Capricorn. Did something in your life change? Did a new pathway open up to you? Write down your experiences daily so that you can review them once this eclipse energy has passed - it may take a while to suss out what is going on but a lot can be revealed with eclipse energy.

3. Be open to new things. Go with the flow during eclipse season - let life take you. Trust your instincts.

4. Be aware of where the eclipse energy touches your natal birth chart. This may be hard for a witchling if you haven’t studied astrology - but I highly suggest becoming familiar with your natal birth chart. You can get a free copy of it at many sites on the internet - for this purpose you need to know the degrees of each of your planets throughout the signs and (ideally - if you know what time you were born) - the placement of your houses. This eclipse is happening at 00° Cancer - that means it will effect anybody with a planet between 28°-29° of a sign and anybody with a planet between 00° -02° of a sign most specifically. Do you have any planets at those degrees? What angle does that planet make to 00° Cancer? That gives you some idea of how you are going to feel the eclipse energy and in what parts of your life you might feel it the strongest. I am not going to go over every detail of how this would work - you should do the research for yourself. But I’ll give you an example from my own chart. My natal Venus is at 29° Gemini which makes it conjunct the solar eclipse within 1° - this is very significant - this eclipse is going to effect my emotions and Venusian processes deeply. My Mars is also at 01° Virgo conjunct my Jupiter at 00° Virgo - this conjunction makes a sextile to the solar eclipse. There will probably be some shakeups in my relationships (Venus and Mars, both positively aspected to the eclipse) that may ultimately lead to expansion (Jupiter). The eclipse energy is in my 2nd house so this may have an effect on how I value my relationships.

If you have some experience with astrology, this may be easy for you to figure out. If not, it may be more of a challenge. I still highly recommend it - it will give you insight both into yourself (through your natal chart) and help you to recognize that the things that happen in your life are happening FOR you, not TO you.

5. Remember to breath. Hydrate. Practice self care. All eclipses can feel intense and overwhelming and this is likely to be the BIG ONE of this year which has a lot of dense energy in and of itself. If it feels like too much and you get overwhelmed, try writing our how you are feeling. Get it down onto paper and out of your head - you can return to it later when your emotions are less stirred by the solar eclipse - there will likely be insight there.

"People don't like you when you're sad. People don't like when you're breaking down and asking for help. People don't like it when you cry and say you've had enough. People don't want to be around people that are sad and I guess that's just the nature of people. So if you ever find someone that cares about you enough to stay during the bad times, keep them. They're rare, and a lot of us are searching for these kind of people right now."
