Star Party

Star Party is back babees!! In our brand new “Now and Forever” format, we conjure both a magic message for the current astro moment AND an eternal teaching to tether you to your witchery for all time.

Now: This New Moon’s message is all about bringing the color back to our cheeks and reaching out for resurrection through soft shifts. Don’t underestimate what’s still alive but seemingly dormant, and don’t be afraid to share little bits of whatever’s been sealed off with trusted kin.

Forever: This cycle’s eternal teaching brings us into the fatness of faith with Jupiter, the behemoth of personal mythology and meaning making. We explore the subtler aspects of this archetype as a companion that can help us inhabit the full context of our experiences without rushing to storytell before the tale is fully told.

Star Party is back babees!! In our brand new “Now and Forever” format, we conjure both a magic message for the current astro moment AND an eternal teaching to tether you to your witchery for all time.

Now: From Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure to a duet of swimmers gliding towards the light, this full moon’s messages ask us to recover what’s already ours, trust our natural skill, answer the call of insistent divinity, and treat transformation as a guarantee. Along the way, we also touch on the 3 of Pentacles and Saturn, and interpret a Mercury-in-Taurus-in-the-7th-house astro dice roll.
