The Full Moon in Sagittarius occurs on May 23, 2024. Under the Sagittarius Full Moon, we're basically invited to a cosmic party without the confetti. Picture yourself armed with an explorer's hat and a philosophical book, itching to ditch the daily snooze fest for something wild. This lunar bash is about shooting your shots - ambitions and dreams set to "epic" mode. But keep your feet on the ground; too much enthusiasm might have you accidentally enrolling in a course to learn Klingon. It's a time for truth bombs and travel dreams.

Where does the magic happen? In the universe of course! Without the universe, we could not create. It is like a garden ready to be planted with your ideas and desires and what you plant will grow exponentially. Plus, it’s very important that you are clear and purposeful with your visualizations, words, and tone (the way you say your words).

The New Moon in Taurus occurs on May 7, 2024. When the New Moon happens in Taurus, it's like the universe is handing us a chill pill. Think of it as a nudge to stop and smell the roses, or in true Taurean style, to actually take the time to grow the roses you’ll smell later. It’s all about indulging in the finer things in life, like a good meal or a comfy couch marathon. This phase is your green light to embrace your inner luxury lover—just make sure you’re not splurging your entire paycheck on fancy things.

It's the rainy season again! Spring is the time of renewal, aided mostly by the heavy rainfalls we receive in the upper hemisphere. Rainwater is used in magic in many parts of the world. We will examine many of these in detail. If you know any we’ve missed, please leave a comment!

Welcome to the month of April. We have the biggest aspect of the year, as Jupiter conjoins Uranus in Taurus and a massive Solar Eclipse in Aries. We also have Mercury retrograde, which begins the month on April Fool’s Day.

Let’s dive into all the magical goodies this month has to offer.

Both the New and Full moons this month harness the power of spiritual deep cleaning and transformation. The secret to your metamorphosis will be turning your pain into strength. Storm Cestavani points out that the Sun, Moon, and our friend Chiron will align to open the door to personal insights that could lead your soul to liberation, and closer to reaching your potential.

Basil. It’s not just a good name for sheep. When you think of basil, it’s likely your brain jumps to food. The Italian and Thai peoples in particular, make extensive use of this most aromatic of herbs. Considered a royal herb, Basil’s Latin name, Basileus means “king” and its Greek name, Basilikon, aligns it to the Basilisk.

With the moon coming into its fullness in the sign of Scorpio on April 23, 2024, we will feel its sting go straight to our self-image. Don’t judge Scorpio, she is a healer and she didn’t put those dark thoughts in our heads, she’s just reminding us that they are still there.

In the realm of personal growth and spiritual practices, the use of candles paired with intentions stands out as a profoundly transformative ritual. This simple, yet powerful, tradition transcends cultures and ages, tapping into the elemental force of fire to symbolize illumination, warmth, and renewal.
