Preparing for the Full Buck Moon's Transformative Energy
Magical Insights for the Week of July 18th, 2024
Hey there ✨
It's your cosmic bestie here, ready to spill some celestial tea for July 18th, 2024. Grab your favorite mug, get cozy, and let's dive into this week's issue. First things first, let's set our intention for the week:
"I'm opening my arms wide to all the magic and abundance the universe is tossing my way. My energy's dancing in perfect harmony with the flow of prosperity and joy."
Feel that? That's the universe giving you a big ol' hug. Now, let's chat about what's brewing up in the night sky.
🌔 Moon Phase 🌔
We're cruising through a Waxing Gibbous moon right now. You know what that means, right? It's time to fine-tune those intentions you whispered to the universe during the New Moon. Think of it as cosmic editing - you're polishing your dreams until they shine brighter than ever.
Lunar Look Ahead: Heads up, starshine - July 25th is our Full Buck Moon. It's gonna be a powerhouse of energy, perfect for harvesting all the goodness you've been nurturing and letting go of any icky stuff that's been weighing you down.
Full Moon Ritual
Wanna make the most of this lunar love? Here's a little ritual I cooked up just for you:
Grab a white candle, a bowl of water, a piece of clear quartz, and some paper.
Light that candle and get comfy. (Pajamas totally allowed!)
Think about what you want to release. Maybe it's that nagging self-doubt or that habit of hitting snooze 5 times every morning. Write it down.
Hold your quartz and visualize your intentions. Really feel them in your bones.
Safely burn that paper. As it turns to ash, feel yourself letting go. (It's okay if it feels a little scary - change often does!)
Pop your quartz in the water and leave it under the moonlight overnight.
Oh, and don't forget to charge your moon water during the Full Moon. It's like a spiritual espresso shot for your intuition and healing practices!
💎 Crystal Magic 💎
This week, we're vibing with Aventurine. Why? Because it's all about that soothing energy and bringing in the good stuff - prosperity and confidence. It's like a cosmic cheerleader for your soul!
Here's how to make Aventurine work its magic for you:
Slip a piece in your pocket or purse. It's like carrying a little luck magnet around with you. (Who couldn't use a bit more luck, right?)
Hold it while you meditate. It'll help you tap into a growth mindset.
Pop it on your desk. Watch your creativity and confidence soar! (Maybe it'll even inspire you to finally ask for that raise?)
🃏 Tarot Talk 🃏
Let’s see what the cards have in store for us this next week.
Weekly Tarot Pull Cards:
The Magician (Mercury): Hello, manifestation station! Your skills and resources are your magic wand this week. What will you create?
The Emperor (Aries): Time to put on your boss hat. Structure and control are your friends. (But don't go power-crazy, okay?)
The Page of Cups (reversed) (Moon) : Don't get too stuck in your ways. Keep your heart and mind open to new vibes. Sometimes the best ideas come from the most unexpected places!
Reading: This is a powerhouse week for making things happen. Use that Magician energy to work your magic (you've got more of it than you realize!), and let the Emperor guide you in creating a solid game plan. But hey, don't get too rigid - that reversed Page of Cups is reminding you to stay open to those unexpected flashes of inspiration. They might just lead you to your next big breakthrough!
Tips for star signs:
Here is some practical advice for the star signs related to the Tarot cards we pulled. The universe has an extra message for you:
Aries: This month, you're like a cosmic superhero, ready to take on the world. Your ruling planet Mars is doing a happy dance in your career sector, lighting a fire under your professional ambitions. But here's the deal - don't let that fire burn you out, okay?
Just like the Emperor, you're in charge this month. But remember, even rulers need to take breaks. Use that Emperor energy to structure your time wisely. Maybe try that meditation thing everyone's been raving about? I know, I know, sitting still isn't your forte, but trust me, it'll help you channel all that energy into something amazing. Keep your eyes peeled around the 15th of August. There might be a golden opportunity disguised as a challenge. Channel that Emperor strength and face it head-on! You've got this, ram!
Gemini: Alright, Gemini, listen up! Your mind is buzzing like a beehive this month, and honey, it's sweet! Your ruling planet Mercury is zipping through your communication sector, making you even chattier than usual (if that's even possible).
The Magician is all about manifesting, and with your gift of gab, you're a master manifestor this month. Why not start that blog you've been thinking about? Or maybe finally write that novel that's been percolating in your brain? The Magician reminds you that you have all the tools you need - it's time to use them!Just be careful not to spread yourself too thin. I know you want to do ALL THE THINGS, but even Geminis need sleep sometimes. Around the 20th, watch out for a potential misunderstanding with a friend. Clear communication is key - use those silver-tongued Gemini powers for good!
Cancer: Hey there, sensitive Crab! Your emotions are like the tides this month - constantly flowing and changing. Your ruling moon is dancing through your intuition sector, making your sixth sense even stronger than usual (and that's saying something!).
The Page of Cups is all about new feelings and creative inspiration, and you're swimming in it, Cancer! Why not start that art project you've been dreaming about? Or maybe finally open up to that person you've been crushing on? The Page reminds you that your heart is your compass - it's time to follow it! Just be careful not to get lost in your feelings. I know you want to nurture EVERYONE, but even Cancers need to take care of themselves sometimes. Around the 21st, watch out for a wave of nostalgia. It's okay to reminisce, but don't let it pull you under. Your future is calling, crab cake!
👀 Remember, my cosmic comrades, these horoscopes and tarot combos are like a celestial weather report. They give you an idea of what's coming, but it's up to you to decide whether to grab an umbrella or dance in the rain. Trust your gut, follow your heart, and don't forget to sprinkle a little magic into your everyday life!
🫙Spell of the Week: Confidence Boost Jar 🫙
Feeling a little shaky in the confidence department? I've got just the spell for you! Let's whip up a Confidence Boost Jar together.
You'll need:
A small jar (any old jar will do, even that empty jam jar you've been saving)
Gold glitter (because who doesn't love a little sparkle?)
A piece of aventurine (remember our crystal of the week?)
An orange candle
A sprig of rosemary
Paper and pen
Here's what you do:
Write down a confidence-boosting affirmation. Something like "I am confident and capable" works wonders. (Or get creative - you know yourself best!)
Toss that paper in the jar along with your aventurine and rosemary.
Sprinkle in some gold glitter for extra magic. (Don't be shy - the more sparkle, the better!)
Seal that jar up tight and light your orange candle.
As the candle burns, visualize yourself absolutely radiating confidence. (Seriously, imagine yourself glowing like a confidence supernova!)
Let the candle burn out safely.
Every time you need a confidence boost, give that jar a little shake and watch the glitter swirl. That's your confidence coming to life!
🌿 Self-Care Corner: Grounding Meditation 🌿
This week, we're all about grounding. Trust me, it's a game-changer when it comes to focusing your energy and manifesting your goals. Plus, it's a great way to calm those racing thoughts (I'm looking at you, Gemini!).
Here's a quick grounding meditation for you:
Find a quiet spot and get comfy. (Bonus points if you can do this outside!)
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. (No, deeper than that. Really fill those lungs!)
Imagine roots growing from your feet, anchoring you to the Earth. (Feel that connection?)
With each breath, feel energy flowing up from the Earth into your body.
Hang out here for a few minutes, soaking up that grounded, centered feeling.
When you're ready, open your eyes and take a moment to appreciate how calm and stable you feel.
Do this whenever you're feeling scattered or overwhelmed. It's like hitting the reset button for your soul!
