🔮Bonus Magic Tips🔮

Pick ingredients for your coffee that align with your ambitions for the day.

It can be used as an offering to deities, spirits, ancestors, etc.(e.g. for Sif I sweeten the coffee with oat milk + honey but for Hel I leave the coffee black for an offering)

Consider the way you stir! Counterclockwise banishes and repels negativity, clockwise invites + brings energy to you.

Stain pages for you journal, spell work, or book of shadows! You can also use a strong brewed coffee and a paint brush to paint sigils onto the pages! .

What scents would you prefer according to the astrological elements?

( Check out your Rising, Sun, and Venus sign)

Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Refreshing and citrusy fragrances suit the witty, idealistic, and charming nature of the air signs. Think about the fresh smell of a chilled glass of lemonade or a bowl of fruit punch.  These people are anything but bland so they are not afraid to experiment. They are curious ( to a fault sometimes) and will go for something that has a surprising element to it like their fluttering personality. They are social and fun-loving people who like to keep it light so something that can match and bring out their brightness and happy-go-lucky personality. Fruity notes like apples, peaches, pomegranates, raspberries, strawberries, and grapefruit are great choices for air energy. Something sassy, flirty, fun, and teasing. They can also pull off androgynes scents like sandalwood, orange blossom, aqua, and mint. 

Water (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio)

Floral, feminine, and intense scents can complement their romantic and intuitive nature very well. Longevity is important for water-dominant personalities so they should focus more on the heart and base notes when they are looking for a fragrance for themselves. Scents like rose, cherry blossom, ylang-ylang, water-lilies, lotus, chamomile, gardenia, and eucalyptus. Water signs are notoriously known for their intensity and do not like superficiality of any kind in any aspect of their life, and this includes their fragrances. The notes need to be distinctive but also keep everyone guessing. Clean and powdery fragrances like talc are also popular notes that suit the clairvoyant and mysterious personality of the element.

Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

 Earth signs either smell like a woody meadow or an ice cream truck – no in between. They usually go for traditional, woody, and consistent perfumes. Earth energy is rarely called risk-takers but they make up for it with their classy, luxurious, and elegant taste. Personally, I have rarely met an earth person who does not have great taste. They are the type to go for quality over quantity. They have a thing for classical and vintage fragrances so they are not really going to go for super out-there notes as a fire or air sign would. They prefer traditional and natural notes like vanilla, lavender, rose, coconut, and honey. They might also like woody elements like pine, oak, cedar, moss, sandalwood, ginger, juniper, coriander, basil, fennel, and honey. They usually look for something well-rounded, sensual, and balanced rather than flashy, complicated, or overpowering. 

Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Energetic, passionate, creative, intellectual, and imaginative, fire signs are head turners. They are extroverts and charming and they will want a fragrance with intense facets and the ability to attract as well as protect. Signs belonging to this element do not go unnoticed. They are outspoken and feisty but warm and radiant. Dramatic and expressive these people do not shy away from the spotlight and deserve a fragrance that will also exude confidence. Fragrances that are oriental and flamboyant like musk, vetiver, oud, amber, frankincense, myrrh, and frangipani are something they can generally gravitate towards. They may also go with spicy notes like bergamot, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, pepper, pistachio, saffron, tonka bean, and patchouli. These people make their mark wherever they go, so the fragrance they should go for should not be any different.

“Sometimes I joke about everything because if I think/take things seriously it hurts and I don’t want to go there” -Gemini placements

Astrology Observations 4

⚠️ TW mentions of issues with food, health concerns, chronic illness, & poor familial relationships

-Taurus, Libra, and Cancer Mars are arguably worse to fight with than Aries, Scorpio, or Capricorn Mars

-I would avoid a fight with a detriment or fall Mars at all costs because they build up and go off harder than a domicile or exalted Mars ever could

-Gemini Mars is the contrarian and will start arguments just to play devil’s advocate

-Virgo risings tend to be very anxious about health issues specifically, and this holds true for people with inner planets in the 6th house as well

-Aries in the 6th house expresses itself in a very Virgo way (if that makes sense)

-Taurus, Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries risings are very powerful in a spiritual sense

-Aries in the 8th or 12th house can make a person a bit impulsive in spiritual matters, they’re the kind of people who will try many different practices to figure what works out for them and learn from their mistakes, this is true for Sagittarius in the 8th or 12th as well

-Scorpio in the 12th house is a powerhouse spiritually but tends to always feel alone mentally, this goes for Cancer or Pisces in the 12th as well

-Pisces placements are usually hurt so much over the years that they become very quiet and Earth or Aquarius-like, the ease of ability to turn emotions off for Pisces is a little scary

-Sag rising is so charismatic, but truly the lone half-clown half-wolf type, if that makes sense

-Cancer Moon or rising is honestly a flex, they’re so in tune with their emotions but have a tendency to give themselves to everyone until there’s nothing left. If you have this placement please protect your energy

-I’ve rarely seen Pisces Moons have good relationships with their Mothers

-Sun in the 12th house usually indicates a delayed relationship with the native’s Father, I’ve also noticed this placement is very common with people who have chronic illness

-Your 5th house under Whole Signs indicates what sign makes you feel the most creative, whereas the sign in your 11th house is usually the sign you attract the most

-I’ve noticed a lot of people have the same Juno sign as their Mothers

-Retrograde Ceres, Ceres in Virgo, and Ceres in the 6th house can indicate issues with food/eating and feeling like you had to carry a lot of responsibility from a young age. This placement reminds me of Saturn on the rising a lot
