This publication is an intuitive guide of the next 7 days for the empaths, diviners, and cosmic wanders. You’ll be communicating with the cosmos through a lens of ancient astrology, folk herbalism, and tie everything together using the magic of tarot.

If you take anything away from this week’s publication, don’t fall into the whole “new year new me” bullshit. Instead, lean into rest and rejuvenation and see how that feels. When we’re at the darkest and coldest points, it’s energetically conflicting to go and do the polar opposite of nature around us. Right now, we’re just not set up to go forward on action.
You’re not expecting nature to be blooming and bustling, so why are you putting the same expectations on yourself? Instead of putting new ideas into action, try experimenting with details and imagination. I find this time of year to be perfect for planning. Vision boards, goal setting, and even research are much more attuned to the speed of things right now. Just try dreaming things up instead of beating your psyche into submission.
Carve out some time this week, especially during the upcoming new moon, and get clear about what you want this year to look like (the ritual at the bottom of this newsletter will help with that, too.) That doesn’t mean changing up your entire routine and implementing 5 new habits. Get curious about things without anything set in stone, and see how it feels to have some of the pressure taken off of you. Know you don’t have to start anything right away, and instead let things mull over until the light returns. We’ll experience an energetic shift at the end of February, which will be a much better time to bump up the energy.
Hopefully, the spells I’ve been sharing at the end of this newsletter have helped elicit self-care and positivity this month. I know they’ve been impactful in my personal practice since I’ve noticed that this time of year is especially tough for me to lean into creation. I’ve found inspiration by looking inward, and more compassion for myself, too. Enjoy this week’s ritual which uses the power of the new moon to help spark your creativity! It pairs perfectly with the community tarot pull focusing on building foundations & directly reinforces the energy of the upcoming new moon, too!
(They really tied together so perfectly!)
🌠 Astrology forecast
Dec 30 | Welcoming in energetic shifts
5:26 PM New Moon in Capricorn
If you’re feeling emotional about the year ending, know it’s completely natural — especially with this new moon signature. You might even feel some sensitivity regarding how you’ve shown up the past year, and a bit nervous about the months ahead, but know that you intuitively know how to align your body, heart, and mind.
You have an idea of what your soul is pining for, now go and get it.
Don’t let any subconscious fears talk you out of your desires. It’s easy to fall into a routine of negative self-talk, especially if it’s generational. But, this new moon provides an excellent opportunity to rewrite your energetic code. You literally have a moment to tap into celestial wisdom and change your frequency. Capricorn is incredible at being a beam of stability for other people, but it also tends to doubt its dreams (especially on new endeavors). You’ll be the only thing in your way for this transit, which can be uncomfortable or empowering. Instead of diving too deep into the nitty gritty, take a chance on the wild side. Put all of your energy into trusting yourself, and know the stars are on your side.
💡 Take a moment today to sow some seeds of reflection. Physically call in what your body is aching for. Get direct and get clear with what you want to manifest. Sometimes, even just admitting what you know you want can be a challenge in itself. Thankfully though, this new moon will provide the courage to say what you want. The ticket is not falling into self-doubt before you even give yourself a chance.
Jan 2 | Prioritizing play, curiosity, and inspiration
10:46 PM Venus in Pisces
If you’re looking to change up some patterns, routines, and boundaries in your life, right now is the perfect time. This transit is especially helpful for folks who need to soften their existence and lean into a more receptive flow. This Venus ingress is incredible at interjecting inspiration into your daily life. Plus, it’ll help you create a vision (even if it’s a little murky in the beginning) toward fulfilling creative projects.
While boundaries are important, right now you might notice a subtle ping to let your guard down a bit and experiment with softness. That’s not to say you should revert to people-pleasing or depleting yourself. But, it’s a unique opportunity to make sure that those boundaries aren’t too high. You’re able to get curious about letting more of the right things in, while staying true to yourself and your distinctive energetic current.
Make sure you’re prioritizing play in your relationships (both platonic and romantic). If you’re partnered, it’s especially important to make sure that you’re evaluating where you both stand on embracing one another creativity. You don’t necessarily need to be on the same page, but you should at least feel supported to explore the depths of your heart and soul.
💡If you feel like you’re at a creative block or in a bit of a rut, remember that you have all the tools to dig yourself out of that hole. There’s an immense power that comes with going inward and getting boldly honest with yourself and your needs. There’s no more of a perfect time to cultivate time for more connection, ingenuity, and energetic alignment. Your passion for creative attunement inspires innovative habits to take shape as you move into the new year. This sets you up to cultivate more of what you have and want less of what you don’t.
💚 Weekly favs
On repeat 🎵 I’m diving into an old favorite of mine, the podcast Kwik Brain. It has bite-sized information on building better habits using science-backed methods.
Herb highlight 🌿 This bright and floral tea blend from High Garden Tea is getting me through the winter blues. With notes of rosemary, rosehips, and hibiscus — it’s just what I’m craving on a cloudy winter day.
On my nightstand 📚 I’m almost done with Financial Sorcery by Jason Miller. It’s useful for folks looking to reframe their relationship with money, and are looking for new ways to work with financial energy. Plus, it’s always interesting to find different deities to work with, especially around abundance. I’m finding it to be the perfect book to finish up as the new year starts.
