Welcome to November! We've officially crossed the threshold into the witches' new year, and the first week of November brings a shift in energy following the intensity of October. Samhain asked us to acknowledge what has completed its cycle, honor what we've learned, and consider what we want to create in the year ahead. Now comes the important part: what do we do with everything we've discovered? With Venus and Mercury still retrograde, we are continuing to reconsider the relationships, opportunities, and ambitions that have shaped our recent decisions. There may be people or ideas worth returning to with a completely different understanding of what we want.   This week brings a particularly interesting combination of astrology. Venus in Libra forms a harmonious sextile with Jupiter in Leo, opening opportunities for connection, reconciliation, abundance, and creative expansion. On the same day, Mercury retrograde meets the Sun in Scorpio, bringing important information and realizations into focus. The first week of the witches' new year invites us to recognize what remains valuable, what might just deserve another chance, and what we want to bring with us into this next chapter.

Welcome to Samhain week, witches! As we approach the witches' new year, the astrology brings our attention to everything we have accumulated, invested in, and also what we have outgrown throughout the past year. There is a powerful emphasis on the relationship between security, control, and transformation. Where have we continued investing in a person, situation, or ambition just because of everything we've already put into it? With both Venus and Mercury retrograde, October has already encouraged a significant reassessment of our relationships and financial (and time) commitments. This week brings some of those questions to a turning point. The Taurus Full Moon starting the week illuminates what we need to feel secure and fulfilled, while its connection to Pluto exposes where our attachment to a particular outcome may be limiting our growth. Later in the week, Mercury square Mars challenges us to communicate with greater intention, particularly where emotions and egos are involved. Samhain marks the closing of the old year and the beginning of the Witches' New Year. This week's astrology offers an opportunity to decide what deserves to accompany us into that next chapter and what has completed its purpose in our lives.   Book your Witches New Year Reading: https://www.cardsyb.com/samhainsovereignty   All things Cardsy B www.cardsyb.com www.instagram.com/CardsyB   Book a Reading https://www.cardsyb.com/private-sessions

Scorpio Season: Desire, Power & Unfinished Business:    There is a particular intensity to the astrology this week as we move deeper into the territory of desire and power dynamics of Scorpio season. The first half of October has already been asking us to reconsider our relationships, financial commitments, and the value we place on our time and energy. This week, we may confront attachments that influence our decisions more than we realized. It's also a powerful week to recognize where our desires have changed, or return to conversations that never reached a satisfying conclusion.   There is also a strong emphasis on the relationship between what we want and what we are willing to do to have it. This includes recognizing where we may have become overly attached to a particular outcome, person, or idea of success. As Scorpio season begins and Mercury joins Venus in retrograde, the next several weeks offer an opportunity to understand the motivations and patterns that have been shaping our lives recently. What we discover can significantly influence the choices we make moving into the final months of the year and show us how we can begin "The Witches' New Year" (oct 31) more intentionally.   Witches' New Year Reading: only available to book until Oct 31- can be scheduled through Nov https://www.cardsyb.com/samhainsovereignty   Newsletter: www.cardsyb.com   Book a Reading https://www.cardsyb.com/private-sessions

Much of the recent astrology has asked us to look underneath things: Venus retrograde has been excavating desire, relationships, and money, while Pluto retrograde has been conducting a much longer examination of power. This week starts to change the direction of travel. There is a difference between understanding what needs to change and being ready to take inspired action. Where have you become more aware of your own authority over the last several months? Where are you ready to stop negotiating with something you already know?

This week opens with the Sun in Libra opposing Saturn in Aries on Sunday; the desire for harmony runs directly into Saturn's demand for accountability. Tuesday, Mercury meets Venus retrograde in Scorpio, and the week's most psychologically charged moment arrives: the planet of communication meeting the planet of love and desire in the middle of her retrograde. Wednesday, Mars in Leo sextiles Uranus in Gemini, and the creative and electric energy picks up considerably. The week closes Saturday with the New Moon in Libra, planting intentions around partnership and reciprocity while Venus retrograde is still doing her excavation work in Scorpio. This combination gives the new moon a powerful advantage. We also chat with Jill Dearman, an astrologer and author who has appeared on the Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch Podcast and featured this month in Chronogram magazine.  In addition to Super-Powered Astrology Jill is also the author of Queer Astrology books from St .Martins/1998 She wrote her latest book with Pluto in Aquarius in mind, believing the world needs superheroes now more than ever. Through her book, Super-Powered Astrology, Jill reaches readers how to use astrology to heal themselves and heal the world while also weaving in  tarot, kabbalah, and I-Ching.    All Things Jill Dearman and Super-Powered Astrology: www.jilldearman.com Get the book: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324112068    Jill's new You Tube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JillDearmanAstrology   All Things Cardsy B: www.cardsyb.com www.instagram.com/CardsyB Book a reading: https://www.cardsyb.com/private-sessions

The post-full moon energy from last Saturday is still hitting us as the week opens, and then Mercury in Scorpio squaring Pluto hits at the end of the week, bringing intense conversations. Saturday, Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio, and energy around love, desire, and money turns inward for reevaluation over the next six weeks. Venus retrograde is rare enough that when it happens in Scorpio, it tends to feel like the universe pulling back a curtain to deeper layers of healing.  We also chat with Sarah Gregg and Jill Ritchie who founded The Intuitive Psychology Association, where they're challenging the idea that psychology and intuition belong on opposite sides of personal transformation. Instead, they believe lasting change happens when the two work together.

We have a really powerful week coming up including the fall equinox, Mabon and the first day of Libra season, all falling on Tuesday Sept 22nd  his week brings a lot of transformative energies, not the lease of which is the virgo to libra transition, which asks us to examine the inner truths that were activated and realizations we have experienced in the energies of the Hermit and how we find balance between our personal aspirations and truths and our relationship with others and the outside world as we move into Libra. The Sun trines Pluto on Friday and what Libra season is clarifying finds transformative depth. Then Saturday the Aries Full Moon arrives with Chiron retrograde sitting directly alongside it and whatever has been living unaddressed in your sense of self gets a big moment of visbility.  All things Cardsy B: Book a reading: https://www.cardsyb.com/private-sessions   Instagram: www.instagram.com/cardsyb Newletter signup: www.cardsyb.com   Abundance Activating Pumpkin Spice Syrup: I combine all these in a small sauce pan and cook on high, stirring clockwise to call in the intentions of all the herbs were workign with:   1 cup  canned coconut cream instead of condensed milk bc it has a similar consistency   1/2 cup organic pumpkin purree with no additives- just straight up pumkin   1/2 cup coconut sugar OR Raw Turbinado sugar- I happened to have raw turbinado so thats what I used    now the fun part with intentional herbs:   2 teaspoons of vanilla- for tranquility and healing   2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice - I love the trader joes one bc it has all these things in it you just need two tablespoons-  but you can also mix individually:   -1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon- for intuition and abundance   -1/2 teaspoon of ginger for success and abundance   -1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg for clairvoyance and third eye opening   -1/2 teaspoon of lemon peel for cleansing and purification   -1/2 teasoon of cloves for prosperity   -1/2 teaspoon of cardamom cultivates balance   - dash of salt to bring out the flavors and for protection.   *optional = pinch of saffron for super platinum abundance and a pinch of damiana for passion, creation + sexy good times   Though it's more work to use the herbs individually, the nice part of this is I like remembering their metaphysical properties and saying them out loud to myself as I stir them in.

This week, the post-eclipse dust settles into more structured, deliberate Virgo energy. August closes, and September opens with two powerful back-to-back transits. Monday: Jupiter in Leo trines Saturn in Aries, meaning we get to close the month with one of the most genuinely supportive and expansive transits of August. (We deserve it after the eclipse season madness) Then Mars in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries and friction arrives that asks us to review what it is that we may have been rushing toward. The week brings a powerful green light and a reality check in the first 48 hours. How we navigate both sets the tone for the rest of the month. We also celebrate the craft and intention of Virgo season with Founder of Violet Flame Choclates, Katrina Markoff. After redefining luxury confections through her first brand Vosges Haut-Chocolat with global spices and cultural reverence, Markoff turned inward to create Violet Flame: a deeper concentration of craft and consciousness. --- Violet Flame Chocolate:  https://violetflamechocolate.com https://www.instagram.com/violetflamechocolate   --- All Things Cardsy B www.cardsyb.com   www.instagram.com/CardsyB   Last Days of Eclipse Sale: https://www.cardsyb.com/private-sessions    The "We made it through Eclipse Season sale" 30% off any reading with checkout codeIMADEIT *can be used for any future date but must be purchased by Aug 31

Mercury moves into Virgo on Tuesday, sharpening the mental energy and adding an additional Virgo boost of precision and clarity right before the eclipse arrives.
