Get ready for some polarizing energy with this Full Moon in Scorpio! As the sister sign of Taurus, Scorpio introduces some significant conflict to the grounded Earth sign. Between the two, it’s easy to fluctuate between feeling super abundant and utterly deprived. If you feel like you’re getting caught at one end of the spectrum or the other, just remember that the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

Feral witchcraft is magick defined your way. It’s wild, instinctual, no-fluff, and anti-performative. It’s not about Instagram-worthy aesthetics, but about gut-level connection and unapologetic practice. Don’t get me wrong, feral witchcraft isn’t about being unhinged; it means uncolonized, unfiltered, and fucking free magick.

Water is ancient. It whispers stories, holds memories, and flows through every living being. Our planet is 71% water, and humans have been drawn to its depths for millennia, not just for survival but for connection, mystery, and magick.

This Full Moon will illuminate opportunities for collaboration and challenges in our relationships because Libra is the sign of relationships. As with every Full Moon, though, the aspects it shines light on all come down to you, your magick, and your relationship with yourself.

Water is a powerful conduit for energy, transformation, and intention. Different types of natural waters carry unique energetic properties, making them essential tools in spellwork, rituals, and spiritual practices. Whether you’re working with the moon’s gentle glow or the fierce energy of a storm, these magickal waters can enhance your craft.

This eclipse marks the culmination of a cycle that began in April 2023, when we started the Aries-Libra Eclipse cycle, which we’re completing this month. This axis has been helping us learn what’s most important to us, as well as the balance between what we want and what our partnerships and relationships require. It’s also about recalibrating what it means to be an individual while being a part of the collective.

The Dark Moon is a potent time for transformation and release. It’s also the ideal moon phase for practicing secretive magick – spells and rituals intentionally kept hidden for your protection. Whether you’re shielding yourself from unwanted energies or working in the shadows to bring justice, secretive magick allows you to act with discretion and power.

Welcome to Eclipse Season! This month, our Full Moon in Virgo ushers in a period of transformation and introspection.

Witches love gemstones – this is simply a fact. So, it’s pretty normal for us to have a bunch of gemstones that we’ve collected over the years. It’s also pretty common for us to forget what they’re called.

Have you felt ultra-sensitive lately, too? Blame it on Pisces, witch! And with the Pisces New Moon coming up on February 27^th, we’re likely to experience many emotions, sometimes unexpectedly.

After cooler-headed Capricorn and Aquarius seasons, this swim into Pisces season reminds us that our inner knowing is a compass for our lives and that emotions can lead us to abundance.
