Happy Solstice, sweet witches! The longest night is an energetic reboot moment, offering space for us to slow-down and reconnect with our true essence. With a New Moon on December 19th ushering in the shortest day, we have a precious incubation period to honor what is ending, and what we hope to renew our faith in as we move through the grounded Capricorn season.  
A reminder! We will be taking a short podcast break, with episodes returning at the Spring Equinox. We have some super magical episodes already planned for you. Stay tuned, witches.

Your visions are sacred, and the astrology of the moment is pushing us to embrace this all important truth. This episode focuses on the astrological transits from December 8th through December 20th - Winter Solstice! As we move closer and closer to the longest night, we are tasked with slowing down, prioritizing the work of integration, and the all important practice of dreaming. December is colored by the Saturn Mars square, causing delays and potential frustrations. The cosmos are encouraging us to slow down and reconsider what is most important for us to tackle before Solstice. The holiday season can be filled with stress and mounting pressures, so let us all *Dear Witches,* take an opportunity to do what our ancestors did and hunker down to dream.

We trip into tricky and expansive territory in November, with Mars moving into Sagittarius as well as Mercury stationing retrograde in Sagittarius on November 9th. It’s important to stay grounded and vigilant throughout the first couple of weeks of the month, with Uranus making moves back into Taurus, and a Taurus Full Moon on November 5th. Tend to your body, take stock of where you are in your personal healing process. Any destabilization we are feeling personally, is an echo of our collective’s necessary transformation. Turn to tools and practices that help you manage your anxiety, and allow yourself to prioritize healing actions. Intentionally prepare for Mercury retrograde by scheduling space for reflection and review. You’ll thank yourself later!
