On June 21, 2024 the Full Moon is in Capricorn, the sign of the sea goat. When the Full Moon is in Capricorn, it's a great time to get your ducks in a row and focus on your long-term goals.

It’s also a good time to update your professional image and seek advice from mentors. Lastly, don't forget to let go of anything that's holding you back and incorporate practical self-care into your routine. This is all about getting serious and making real progress.

Although Gemini season is about ideas, exchange, and learning about new things, it’s also about having some fun and enjoying ourselves.

So, let’s dive into all the magical ways that we can tap into Gemini season.

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.

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.

Astro Magic for March 2024

After two months of relative astrological ease, the seeds you planted will sprout, the air will start to warm up, and the promise of a fresh start is on the way.

This month, the Full Moon is in the sign of Libra on March 25, 2024. Since there is also a lunar eclipse, Storm cautions us against doing any aggressive magic.

In a world often consumed by strife and discord, the desire for peace resonates deep within each of us. The Peace Candle, crafted to ignite tranquility and unity, offers a tangible reminder that cultivating inner peace is the cornerstone of creating a more harmonious world.

New moons always represent new beginnings, even if it is starting the next chapter in a book or turning over a new leaf. To make it even more exciting, this month the new moon is in the sign of Pisces. That means the veil between you and inspiration is thinner which makes it so much easier to listen to your muse.
