It's Retrograde Time! How You Can Handle Planets Moving Backwards
Look don’t trip it’s just retrograde honey.
by Kirsten Renee
Shoutout to the six planets stationing Retrograde at the same time! Here’s a little cheat sheet of what you can expect right now. 💕🔮

Mercury (7/26-8/19)
Associations: Communication, Travel, & Memory.
What to expect: Be mindful of what you say! Also, if you need to get something off of your chest do it before the 26th.

Mars (7/26-8/27)
Associations: Aggressive masculine energy, Lust, & Action.
What to expect: Now is not the time to consider making major relationship/business changes. Also, check yourself when you get mad because a blow up now can/will have lasting effects.

Jupiter (3/8-7/10)
Associations: Knowledge, Justice, & Education.
What to expect: Jupiter Retrograde is ending in a few days, so if you’ve been feeling uncertain about where your life is headed... it’ll be okay! Not knowing what’s next is perfectly fine, try joining community groups to help ease the stress.

Saturn (4/17-9/6)
Associations: Law, Slow change, & Self-discipline.
What to expect: Sometimes it’s necessary to make bold moves to better your life. Time to rethink business plans, and ideas. It’s not the best time to start a new business, BUT you can always start planning it!

Uranus (8/7-1/6)
Associations: Eccentric ideas, Inventiveness, & Unexpected change
What to expect: Don’t be in a rush to make a change, take your time and really think about the direction you’re headed. Impulse is cool for a Taco Bell midnight snack, NOT for major life changes.

Pluto (4/22-9/30)
Associations: Rapid manifestation, Group ideas, Uniting
What to expect: GET RID OF THE EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE YOU’VE BEEN HOLDING ONTO! Let it go like frozen, seriously Pluto (my favorite lil bean) is all about death/rebirth. Release negative karmic patterns, take a spiritual bath, build an immaculate altar, do yoga, find a sense of peace within.
Seriously, retrogrades AREN’T that bad, you just have to be mindful of what you’re putting out there.
Let May Guide You Into The Next Phase of Your Life! #MGTarotscope

Spring has taken its time to arrive this year, and there's a reason for that. It's about time we all stop rushing the process, Mother Nature teaches us all sorts of lessons. We just have to be honest enough to see what's right in our faces. Trusting your process and recognizing patterns is essential to growth. If you can't see your own truth, how do you expect the universe to see you? You want to manifest that dream life of yours? Do the work, show the universe that you're not here to fuck around. You don't become a success overnight, and even if you do you still have to know how to trust your process.
If you're constantly torn between trusting yourself and asking for others opinions, you need to reevaluate some things. Listen to your intuition because it knows best, you know what you need. It's time to stop denying yourself what it is that you deserve, because you are the key to your success. You're the only one that can determine if you're going to make it or not. The true tea on adulthood is that to survive it you have to live it. You have to know your limits, know your strengths, and TRUST that you're not going to let yourself down.
Let May be the month where you truly start blooming into who you are meant to be. Blooming season is taking her time, because you need to learn how to slow your roll. Just like the plants, we grow best when we are in the dark, still, and patient. Just like we tell younger generations to "stay kids forever." We must also tell ourselves to stay in this moment, and not hurry. For cutting corners gets you nowhere, except for confused.
Enjoy May's Tarotscope and I'll see you in July!
*Using The Illuminated Tarot Deck*
Taurus
The Hierophant + 3 of Cups
It's your time to shine Taurus, with the sun beaming in your sign it's time for you to bring out the party supplies! You may be a homebody 97% of the time, but nothing brings you more joy than having the people you love around you. Celebrate your life for once instead of worrying about future shenanigans that may or may not happen. Let yourself enjoy the fruits of all the hard work you always put in. This month call your friends more, if you want to get out of that head of yours .. start by getting out of the house! Take a music class, or grab a coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while. You don't have to suffer Taurus, you can be your best ally if you allow yourself to be. Don't let your worries of the world stop you from putting your best foot forward.
Gemini
3 of Pentacles (Reversed) + 4 of Cups
Oh Gemini, your mouth often gets you into trouble and I was we creep our way into Gemini season you get more reckless! Think before you talk to the people you interact with, because not everyone can handle the delivery. Also now is a good time to listen to what people say to you, if you're doubting certain relationships now is the time to ask yourself why you pay them any mind. If there's a lot of hear say, address it and move on. No need to sit in stagnant energy and collect karmic debt. Move forward and focus on whatever goals you've created for yourself. Sometimes the company that you keep are the ones who hold you back.
Cancer
Jack of Cups + The Hierophant (Reversed)
It's time to make a power move Cancer, are you ready? The chance for you to really prove to the world that ya mama didn't raise a bitch is here. You've got to make sure that whatever tools you need you've got and that you're crossing your T's and dotting your I's. If you know you've got some loose ends to tie up with people, do so now. Be honest in how you feel about people's place in your life. You tend to hold on to relationships because you love a project, however people aren't projects... They're people, just like you. Remember that when going into new situations and meeting new individuals.
Leo
6 of Pentacles + 6 of Swords
Big dreamer and even bigger wanderer, Leo you can make magick happen with the twinkle of your nose. You know that, yet you still hold back...Why? What is is that is keeping you from putting all of your eggs into one basket? You know that you're the shit, and you know that no one can do something like you can. You've got the plan done, now you just need to put your big kid britches on and make it happen. If you're afraid, let that fear propel you into the greatness that comes with following your dreams. It's time to really put your best foot forward, and focus on yourself. Who better to lean on than the most reliable person you know? Yourself. You're a force to be reckoned with, don't forget that.
Virgo
The Devil + The Tower (Reversed)
What you reap you will sow Virgo, and that's something that you especially have to keep in mind. You can easily slip into the habit of playing the devil minus the advocate. It's time for you to see the results of the energy you've been putting out. It's also a good time to start healing the parts of yourself that you've been holding deep beneath your surface. This month focus on your mental health, focus on the mechanics of yourself. Everybody needs a tune up every now and then. Your good a being focused on other things, but let your spirit be one of them. You don't always have to cater to your demons.
Libra
10 of Pentacles + Judgement (Reversed)
Oh Libra, the truth will set you free if you let it. At what point are you going to stop pretending that people don't see the real you? The truth about your life is front page news and now it's time for you to either keep lying or to finally speak your truth. The only person judging you is you, no one else is bothered by you speaking up. The longer you hide, you put yourself at risk of danger. Danger by way of not taking care of your mental health, physical health, spiritual and emotional health. It's way past time for you to be responsible for your own shit. Don't pretend to be something that you're not, just because you tend to be flighty doesn't mean that people don't see through you.
Scorpio
Queen of Wands + The Chariot (Reversed)
As the masters of rebirth and death, you've got your own special artform when it comes to moving on. Right now it's time for to put some things into perspective, and really get focused on what it is that you put on your summer vision board. You've got a special relationship with the spirit world, and the message is loud and clear. Let them guide you into this next phase, let go of the reigns and just enjoy the ride. Trust in your own magick and know that everything you create is destined to be great. Transformations take time, and you've got nothing but time to make it happen.
Sagittarius
Temperance (Reversed) + Jack of Swords
You've always been cautious sagittarius, but now isn't the time for your timid approach to life. It's time for you to get into the swing of taking care of yourself. If you've been feeling poorly, it's time to fix that. The best way to heal is to heal the mind, body and soul as a collective. Do the work that it takes to get your health in order, and to help you find balance in this life. Be aware of how you're reflecting energy. If something is bothering you it'll show, and The Universe will bother you until you change it up. You've got potential, you're just to shy to go and greet it. Don't be afraid of yourself, because you're a good person.
Capricorn
5 of Cups (Reversed) + Ace of Swords (Reversed)
It's time for you to focus on what really matters Capricorn, you're the hardest working sign and you know it. However, there are times where you get distracted by the world around you, time to get back to work your break is over. Know that it is time to move forward with whatever business you have planned, and you better be prepared. This idea that you've held onto and nurtured is ready to run wild. How you manage your time now is going to determine how well and how fast your idea manifests.
Aquarius
The Sun + 9 of Swords (Reversed)
No sense in trying to pretend that you keep human hours Aquarius. You tend to be able to survive on your own clock and that's perfectly fine. However, if you're having restless nights try working on that project you keep putting off. Your internal idea bulb is constantly going off, and if you're not careful you'll put on more than you can handle. Invest in a planner Aquarius, even if you don't keep normal hours make sure the schedule that you do have is organized. Life doesn't have to be so chaotic, nor does it always have to feel heavy and emotional. You can flip the way your life flows by actually working with yourself instead of against yourself. Keep a notepad by your bed so that when you start having these dreams you'll remember them!
Pisces
The Sun + 8 of Pentacles
Keep stacking up the checks Pisces, you work hard for everything that you have and you should reward yourself. Things may be a little hard right now and you're probably drowning underneath the pressure. All you need to do is stand up, and take a step back onto shore. Allow yourself time to be alone, you need time for your own thoughts. You don't owe anyone or anything your time and you need to set your boundaries before you go off further down the stream. You're the only one who can say what it is you will and won't tolerate. Now's the time to speak up before you explode and hinder all of the hard work you've done for yourself.
Aries
Jack of Cups + Ace of Cups (Reversed)
Whatever you're holding in let it out, there's no sense of stewing over pent up resentment. You're only hurting yourself, because whoever/whatever you're holding a grudge against doesn't care. You can be the most stubborn when it comes to letting go of self sabotaging behavior. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean that you should. Besides your constant need to take subliminal shots at people is what's going to make whatever confrontation coming your way explosive. Defuse the situation between you and whatever has got you worked up, because the less drama you have the better off you'll be.
Blessed be.
A Conversation W/ Tarot: Blooming Full Moon in Virgo Energy.
Get jiggy with the Full Moon in Virgo.
by Kirsten Renee

2018 is kicking off to be a wild ride and I'm all the way here for it! We started January with a brand new trip around the sun and TWO full moons, and a lunar eclipse. We got a bit of a chill break in February where the moon wasn't full. However March is bringing in that electric touch that we've been waiting for. March is leading us to the nurting and gentle side of living. As the Earth awakens from her nap. we recieve fresh and vibrant energy. Building a relationship with Mother Nature is so important, she nurtures our entire being, and we can find the answers through her actions.
Question: Where am I unstable in my life?
Card: The Tower (Reversed)
To get to know Mother Nature start by sitting outside in the grass, let the air and the earth beneath you soak into you. Hold a Selenite wand against your heart, and focus your breathing. By doing this you're allowing yourself to set the space for your conversation with Mother Nature. It can be confusing once you open that door, and if you summon Mother Earth you should definitely come ready for extreme truth and guidance. If you're feeling nervous talk about the reasons why you feel that way. Something in you is afraid to talk about the truth. If you're feeling ready for the next step in your rebirth, or you're experiencing your rebirth remember to remain patient! Progress is patient, because you must learn to enjoy and grow with the experience. Growth comes in many ways, and when you truly sit with your personal life experience you notice each blessing and lesson individually.
What's blocking me from myself?
Card: Queen of Pentacles
If you're worrying about all the things that you don't have you'll never have them sweets. You get what you give, and if you're constantly focusing on what you lack, you can't learn what to do with what you already have! Finding your balance within yourself is a MUST, because you need to know how your shadow and light coexist with one another. To live a "holy" life, one must be whole with life. Find your balance, and you'll unlock the door to your source. Connecting to source energy is the way to get what you desire in this lifetime. Grow through spirit , check how you're definfing the mirror effect for yourself. Because you know what they say, "you're your own worst enemy". You're also your own best spades partner, no one knows your instinct like you do.
Am I living a healthy life?
Card: 3 of Cups
Health is WEALTH friends, and if your body is talking to you it's time to LISTEN. When it comes to personal health whether that be physical, mental, sexual, etc we've got to make sure we are healed and okay. Be mindful of the food that you put into your body, if you know your blood type try eating foods that are good for your blood type! Drink WATER, I can't stress this enough to make sure you gulp down water throughout the day! Go for walks, or sign up for a fun class to take! Spring time is a time for physical harvest, let yourself enjoy this time. Spring brings rebirth and as products of the universe we are blessed with being directly connected to this energy. Shake off your cobwebs and get it shaking, because the creative energy you're sitting on is waiting to be turned into a massive manifestation. Heal your body, mind, and spirit during this full moon. Be patient with your self and your energy.
What message does The Full Moon in Virgo have for me?
Card: Jack of Pentacles
It's time to start filling up your calander, turn the left over stagnant energy from winter into momentum for your creative endeavors. Get organized and start prepping yourself for some heavy spring cleaning! Cleaning your home, work space, bedroom, magick space, etc is the perfect way to bring in the changing of the seasons. Working with Mother Nature and her cycles is a great way to boost your magick. Being synced to the moon during menstraution, to casting particular spells on certain days you will find that your magick has grown. Mother Nature has power that we can easily access if we just let ourselves do so. Get organized within your life, and your practice because once you clear the clutter in your mind and your physical space. You allow new blessings and lessons to come into your life.
What does my intuition say?
Card: 5 of Swords
Summertime is a time for BBQ's and a card game being played by your aunties and uncles. However this Full Moon is reminding you that when it comes to the game of life, you're your best partner. If you think life is throwing hints your way, step back and see the bigger picture. These aren't hints, their full blown messages and you should be listening! Your intuition is NEVER wrong, and you'll never lead yourself down a path you don't need to. However, if you're in a period of repetition and self doubt, it's time for you to get grounded and replenish your energy. Sober yourself up, and detox your mind, body, and spirit.
What lies ahead for me in March?
Card: 9 of Swords
If your dreams are keeping you awake at night, or your day dreams have stopped you from being productive use this month to turn that energy around. If you can't sleep at night because of your goals and aspirations instead of laying there... Work on them! By organizing your life, you'll find that when you make time for things you care about you don't seem to worry as much. Putting energy into things that don't serve your highest good, is going against yourself. Try sleeping with Lavender, Mugwort, Eucalyptus and amethyst underneath or inside of your pillow! Taking time before bed to center yourself and relax your body so that it may find the ultimate comfort. I like to think of sleeping as an adventure in the spirit library. Learn how to work with your dreams by keeping a dream journal and dream dictionary next to your bedside! There's always messages within our dreams, and decoding them can clear up a lot of mental fog.
*Note* If you're having trouble sleeping you should also go see your doctor/Healer!
This Full Moon in Virgo is all about enjoying the rebirthing process, and seeing the truth of what you manifest for yourself! It's also a great time to declutter your life and make space for new vibrant energy!
Blessed be!
