astrology cheat sheet

The Planets: if astrology is a language, then these celestial bodies are its sentences. we intuit much information from the planets and how they interact

Sun/Sol: where you shine in life, your ego, the person you are becoming in this incarnation of life

Moon/Luna: your personality when you are comfortable and around those you trust, your heart, your emotions, the mother

Mercury: the way in which you process the world as you experience it, your intellect, the way you speak to others

Venus: what you place value on, what you love, who you love, what you’re most likely to invest in (lesser benefic)

Mars: your inner fire, your willpower, your drive to win and achieve, the way you act when you’re in a fight (lesser malefic)

Jupiter: where you are most blessed in life, where you are abundant, whatever is touched by jupiter becomes “big” in some way (greater benefic)

Saturn: where you find your limits, where you feel restricted and frustrated, the way in which you want to leave a mark on society (greater malefic)

Uranus: shocking and unexpected events. random encounters

Neptune: where you are prone to disillusionment, your creativity, your spiritual nature

Pluto: your need for control, subconscious influences, the shadow self

The Houses: these do not represent types of energy. they are areas of life that we experience and are generally physical

House 1/Ascendant: the way an individual views the world, how the world views an individual on the surface. the general outlook on life. a viewfinder

House 2: everything you own, including your emotions and your history. mainly material things such as objects, money, and assets. the home you’d love to own

House 3: siblings -> the way you learned to communicate as a child, speech, small trips

House 4: the home you had as a child, what a person believes “home” to be, family matters, the mother, the personality that is only shown at home

House 5: where you derive pleasure from life and become inspired to create, children, romance, sex, all acts of creation and creations, games, things people do for fun

House 6: the job an individual works where they are not their own boss, jobs where you serve others, ways in which a person may be asked to be of service

House 7/Descendant: the ideal partner, all partnerships ranging from marriage to business matters, lovers and enemies

House 8: how do the relationships in a persons life change them? the subconscious, the deep and hidden self. the ways you merge with others

House 9: education. where do you need more education? this house can describe the way a person feels about school, their relationship to school and teachers, and also rules over higher thought so religious matters can be found here

House 10/Midheaven: the greatest potential of a soul in their incarnation of life. this is the career where you are your own boss (the 6th House is usually activated first) this is a persons calling

House 11: communities and friends, large communities. the internet, ways you connect with other people. groups of people

House 12: the shadow self, the vast unseen, the cosmos, can literally represent outer space or other realms. this is the side of ourselves we don’t see clearly. can show what people may secretly think about an individual

The Signs: these represent energies that people, things, experiences, etc can embody in this world

Aries: the newborn of the zodiac, inspiring, initiates change, anger, frustration that leads to necessary reform

Taurus: the feeling of comfort, being nurtured and fed, caring for beauty and value, materialism, evaluating the value of objects

Gemini: excited, exhausted, energetic, curious, loves to talk and gather data, focused on communication, debates, arguments

Cancer: intuition, empathy, clairvoyance, feeling things out, being cautious, can have low boundaries, energy sponge, sensitive to stimuli

Leo: warm, empathetic in a philanthropic way (cancer is more familial), sensitive in a superficial way, where something/someone shines, where someone needs to be confident

Virgo: detail oriented, routine focused, also enjoys collecting data, health conscious, virgo energy can be heavy and challenging -> tasks that become burdens

Libra: relationship focused, values partnerships over other areas of life, where something requires balance to be maintained

Night time Ritual

Just like all things in witchcraft you can add and take things away in order to fit your practice! Worship your deities, do a face mask, don’t light any candles, meditate for 30 seconds or a whole hour do whatever needed to detox and reflect on your day. Here is what I do.

What I use

Cleansing tool (Incense, crystals, etc)

Tarot deck

Candle (incorporate color magic!)

Music ( I like listening to Tibetan bowls)

Compass?

Ritual

Queue up any music, light a candle, clear space to sit and stretch comfortably.

Cleanse yourself and your space by passing the lit incense or crystal counter clock wise to expel any negative energy you’ve gathered throughout the day. Cleanse any other tools you will be using.

Determine where north is and sit cross legged or comfortably face this direction.

If you need structure to your meditation you can do High, Low, Kudos. This is a reflection tool to think of your highs of the day, your lows and giving kudos to people or spirits who assisted you through the day. Thank your body or mind for one wonderful thing it did today even if this was just getting out of bed 💕

When you feel relaxed and soupy do some of your favorite stretches, reach for the sky and touch your toes, hug yourself and flex your feet.

At this point I like to do spell work, tarot readings or use my pendulum.

Cleanse yourself again moving in a clockwise motion to attract positive energy for the next day.

Congrats you’ve made it through another day! ✨

Like I said this can be shortened and changed to fit your needs, if you’re sleeping over a friends and can only sit with your eyes clothes then that’s okay! I like to ask my mom (who doesn’t know witchcraft exists) if she wants to join, we meditate and stretch together. She finds a lot of comfort and relaxation in this practice as well even if it’s a different meaning for her. Good luck to everyone in the new year and feel free to message me with any questions or concerns! 😌💫💕

“You Cannot Touch Her” Curse/Binding

This curse is particularly for people who have done harm in the past, and as such already known to be a potential threat. The idea is to keep the person from speaking to or approaching the one you’re trying to protect, and to make them feel watched and judged for their past actions.

You will need the following:

A jar big enough to hold a poppet

Some kind of poppet - I used a wooden one with the offender’s name written on the bottom. A photo could also be used

White out

A black candle

A mixture of black salt & cayenne pepper

A sigil of your own design meaning “You cannot touch [name or pronoun]”

A permanent marker

Light the candle and white out the mouth of your poppet. Roll the poppet in the mixture of black salt and cayenne pepper (black salt tends to stain so keep this in mind). Place it in the jar and seal the lid, leaving the poppet inside under the gaze of dozens of eyes. Write your sigil on the lid. During or after all of this, say the following aloud or think it to yourself (change pronouns accordingly):

You cannot touch her. You cannot speak to her. Think of her and bring this curse upon you. May your tongue catch in your throat if you dare to reach her. May you burn and ache if you come near. May you feel eyes upon your back each time you think her name. They’re watching. I’m watching. May you forever question the gaze of others - Do they know the things you’ve done? I do. I curse you. I bind you. You cannot touch her.

Stash the jar in a dark place, like a closet or a cabinet (I don’t recommend burying jars). Let the candle burn until it extinguishes itself.
