Astrology Forecast 🌟 Feb 2 - 9
You’re not dreaming, it’s in fact, Monday! I accidentally got wrapped up in my solar return celebrations (ie: my upcoming birthday). Rest assured that I got you covered in the upcoming Venus ingress and the spellwork to make the most out of the current season though. On top of celebrating, I also seemed to have caught a winter bug, so I’ll be less online than usual this week while I focus on healing.
Thankfully, I have lots of herbs to support me, and I’ll be making another order from my favorite herbal tea shop — High Garden Tea. I usually lean on their respiratory resilience tea when I feel like this, and pair it with this Old Indian Cherry Bark Syrup. Let’s hope I get back on my feet quickly because I’m the type of gal who celebrates my birthday all month long! I feel like us air signs love to draw out celebrations, our birthdays in particular.
In other news, we had our first false spring here in the western mountains of North Carolina. It’s interjected so much excitement for the months to come with sowing our second year of seeds and focusing on growing our micro-homestead. I’m even more excited to show y’all what we’re doing so you can be inspired to do the same for yourself. Having the option to be self-reliant in a time of such uncertainty is the only thing keeping me sane right now. If you’re feeling particularly stressed right now about the current climate, do what you can and explore expanding your pantry of shelf-stable foods. Our household has a solid pantry of single-ingredient whole-food items to last about 2 months, maybe 3 if we plan right. This year we’re hoping to double that by using our freeze dryer.
In lighter news, this week I’ll show you how to work with the energy of Venus while she changes signs into Aries, the place where she’ll be going retrograde in the coming weeks. I have a natal Venus in Aries, so I’m quite qualified to give you the tea on this transit. Then, we’ll dive into card divination — something near and dear to my heart. Of course, we’ll talk about Imbolc, and how to honor some of the light returning. Lastly, folks in the Inner Circle will get to learn about protection magick, specifically warding your home.

Feb 4 | Firing up your ability to connect with your subconscious
Venus in Aries
Albeit a place that Venus doesn’t necessarily thrive in, Venus in Aries provides an urgency to express yourself. It allows you to find the balance between a deep wanting to be connected but also honoring the pining to be unique. In this duality, you’ll find themes of creation, independence, and falling in love with your passions. During the retrograde though, expect somewhat shocking illuminations, deep rethinking, and an opportunity to boldly express yourself.
Keep in mind that you’ll be familiar with this Aries-Venus retrograde energy until April 26th. If you work with this cosmic power correctly, you’ll truly have an opportunity to shock yourself, in the best way possible. You’ll be able to overcome something and shock yourself with your power. Or maybe, dive into your passion and be recognized for your previously hidden talents. You’ll just need to be conscious of not acting from a place of ego or necessarily wanting to be recognized. If it happens, let it come, but don’t hold onto an outcome and be overcome by the toxic side of it.
🌿 Carve your name or an empowering affirmation into a red or pink candle, anoint it with cinnamon or clove oil, and set an intention for self-confidence and magnetism. Carve the symbol for Venus into the candle to further your connection to this planet and Goddess.
🔥 Stand before a mirror, speak your deepest desires aloud, and affirm your worth with conviction. Aries energy asks for courage—this is the time to claim it. Even better if you’re able to use the candle above in this mirror ritual.
