EP 73: Bonus Dark Goddess Hekate Master Class
-
In this episode, we go deep into the themes and energetics of this and all Scorpio seasons + my channeled insight to the current astrological themes and energetics along with how to navigate and work with them.
In this episode you’ll find: The Witch of the Zodiac
Scorpio season has arrived! It's a time for deep connections, transformation, and getting in touch with your magic.The veil between the physical and unseen realms is thin, making it a potent time for ancestor work, spirit communication, and magical practices.Key Transits
New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 1st): A powerful time for setting intentions. Check out the member-exclusive New Moon Tarot Reading in the Unicorn Wellness Studio library.Full Moon in Taurus (Nov 15th): This lunation coincides with Saturn going direct after a 5 month retrograde period.Saturn asks us to examine our self-discipline and identify areas for improvement to achieve long-term goals.This Full Moon with Saturn's influence can help us bridge the gap between imagination and action in pursuit of our dreams.Pluto Entering Aquarius (Nov 19th):This is a major astrological shift that will impact us for the next 20 years.Pluto, the god of the underworld, brings transformation, reform, and truth-seeking.In Aquarius, Pluto will focus on social justice, innovation, and dismantling outdated systems.Scorpio Energy
Scorpio's mantra is "I desire." It's a fixed water sign known for its intensity, passion, and connection to the unseen.Scorpios are often misunderstood as dark or brooding, but they can also be incredibly sensitive and intuitive. Overall, think deep feeling. This season is a time to embrace your shadows, release shame and guilt, and connect with your authentic self.Scorpio's Magic
Scorpio is associated with transformation, passion, protection, and sex magic.This is a powerful time to work with magic, particularly through pleasure practices and connecting with your root chakra.The Unicorn Wellness Studio offers resources to help you explore your magic, including the Witch's Work series.Scorpio Season Rituals
Get in your body through movement and touch connection.Honor the dark goddesses: Hekate, Lilith, Aphrodite, and Kali.Wear grounding scents like frankincense or vetiver essential oil.Eat root vegetables and foods of Scorpio colors: black, and purple.Wear red, black, and purple to harness and balance the overall energetics.Practice moon bathing, visit cemeteries, and connect with your ancestors.Purge all toxins from your life; habits, emotions, partnerships..it’s all on the table for release.Remember, we all have Scorpio energy in our charts somewhere. Use this season to explore this potent force and harness its power for transformation and growth. Pull the dark into the light, learn how to honor it. Our darkness is sacred.

Make consistent offerings before asking for anything.Leave offerings at the nearest crossroads for Hekate.Perform a DeipnonWork with Hekate to heal decision-making, perfectionism, confidence, self-trust, ageism, the Mother Wound, the Witches Wound, wounds of maturing, grief, loneliness, issues around death, ancestral hexes, binds, curses, wayward spirits, haunted spaces, people-pleasing, internalized patriarchy, and internalized misogyny.Hekate's energy might resonate as she/her or they/them.She is a nurturer and protector of the marginalized.Hekate in the Tarot
The Hierophant: ushering spirits between the seen and unseen.The Hermit: the liminal space and guidance.Death: endings and new beginnings.The Moon: self-discovery and facing shadows.Queen of Wands: manifestation and daily magic.4 of Wands: commitment to happiness and foundations.4 of Pentacles: resources and circulation.10 of Swords: ending the bullshit and moving forward.10 of Wands: crossroads and carrying burdens.Mantras Offered by Hekate

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating energy of Gemini, the zodiac's twins. We'll explore the gifts Gemini brings, including:
The magic of curiosity, intelligence, and a thirst for knowledge. The ability to adapt, be clever, and find humor in life's twists and turns. The power of education and embracing the joy of lifelong learning.The freedom found in acknowledging that multiple truths can coexist.We'll also delve into the challenges Gemini presents:
The wounds of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the fear of being wrong.The struggle between knowing when to take a stand and when to embrace flexibility.Discerning what's right for you versus what's right for others.Gemini whispers the wisdom of "Yes, And" - the ability to hold seemingly opposing ideas in one mind. We'll chat about how this concept can unlock growth and a more expansive perspective.
We'll also touch on the connection between Gemini and the element of Air in tarot, represented by the suit of Swords. The Swords represent our intellect, discernment, and ability to question and analyze information. Gemini encourages us to use these tools to cultivate curiosity and seek truth, asking:
What else might be true?What evidence do we have?Where can we find more wisdom by embracing the possibility of being wrong?As well as a short exploration of The Lovers card in the tarot, the card that is connected to the sign of Gemini.
Plus as we do each zodiac season we pull one tarot card to guide us on the spirit in which to move through this Gemini season.
Spoiler alert, it's The Magician all the way. This season is serious about it's magic, now it's up to us to harness it. Listen in as to how.
Join us for an episode that will ignite your curiosity and empower you to embrace the ever-evolving journey of life!

EP 63 Embracing Duality: Navigating Gemini Season with Wisdom and Connection
In this episode, listeners are welcomed into Gemini season which runs from May 20th to June 20th, 2024.
Gemini season is characterized by adaptability, communication, and curiosity. It encourages shifting perspectives, exploring new ways of doing things, and embracing duality and multiplicity in life.
The season is influenced by Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury moving through Gemini, bringing expansive energy and emphasizing communication, learning, and relationships. It's a time to be open to new experiences, challenge old beliefs, and integrate wisdom from information, decisions, and experiences. Gemini, ruled by Mercury, symbolizes duality and communication.
It encourages active listening, sharing knowledge, and being open to changing one's mind. However, imbalance in Gemini energy can lead to gossip, indecisiveness, and being distracted by noise. To balance Gemini energy, employ grounding practices like connecting with nature, meditation, and getting on the mat with me, are essential. It's a time to stay open to new perspectives, engage in conversations, and cultivate wisdom through experience.
Listeners are advised to focus on integrating mind-body practices during this season, especially emphasizing the importance of physical grounding to manage swirling thoughts and anxiety. Engaging in practices that connect the mind and body, like pilates, can help maintain balance during Gemini season.
Overall, Gemini season calls for embracing change, being willing to learn and adapt, and staying grounded to navigate the energetic shifts successfully.

Happy Taurus Season
This episode is our single card tarot forecast for April 19th - May 19th 2024.
1 card for the spirit in which to move through things….that turned into two. The Universe has spoken…. Lean into this episode to hear what the Universe wants us to lean into in this particular Pisces season….it’s pure magic.
Taurus is represented by The Hierophant in the Tarot. A hierophant is a person, who interprets sacred mysteries or esoteric principles. Traditionally it’s a religious figure. Like a priest. In the Smith Rider Waite deck they are depicted seated on a throne between two pillars symbolizing Law and Freedom or obedience and disobedience. They’re wearing a triple crown that symbolizes their spiritual superiority and authority via the emperor, also wearing a red cloak - that can symbolize power or bloodshed in the name of their beliefs, with the keys to Heaven are at their feet. Personally I love the keys because I feel like it’s a wink from Hekate - Dark goddess - mother of all witches - saying YOU are the keys to heaven…you don’t need this false gateway. YOU are the bridge between heaven and earth.
This card offers us the message of the dangers of following the herd mentality, trying to fit in, doing what the masses are doing. It says to stay away from organized religion and corporations.
Taurus, as an energy of the zodiac, offers us:
The magic of loyalty, hard work, stability, and ambitionHealing the wounds of the body, care, nourishment, support, worthiness, love, safetyThe power of setting your emotions aside (for a moment) to solve in practical waysThe power of repetition for the long game The pleasure of pleasureThe pleasure of being humanThe challenge of knowing when to be consistent vs. obstinateThe challenge of not always going it aloneA true balance of work and restWant more Taurus insight: UnicornWellnessStudio.com members have an offering in their membership library - in the Astrology section - titled Zodiac Basics: Taurus

Happy Taurus Season!
The Sun sits in Taurus April 19th - May 19th 2024.
Taurus season always offers stability, ambition, focus, pleasure seeking obstinance, resiliency, and loyalty - as we say goodbye to the high energy, impatient, competitive, confident bravery of Aries season…not to mention a genuine good-bye to eclipse season.
This transition has us implementing plans and projects. It has us setting our emotions aside, and getting super grounded and realistic. It asks what resources do we actually have to work with. Now. In hand and available. There is acceptance here for what is. This could feel like cold water, it could build confidence at there being more resources to work with than you thought you had.
This season says, what did you get excited about in Aries season and want to happen instantaneously? A spark has been ignited
What were the reveals and pivots of the eclipses in your life?
Taurus season hits the pause button and wants to determine what are the practical and tactical applications that we need to get the tires to hit the pavement and bring these excitements, sparks, and visions into being.
Taurus is the bull of the chart. It’s going to be about resources. It will ask, What do I have? What do I have to show for my effort? My work? Where do I need to put more effort or any effort for that matter.
Taurus requires effort. It requires that we DO something. Taurus is a high manifestor via the long game. No instant gratification to be had here. Like none. Lol. But it’ll move you solidly forward and along the path towards your goal.
This season has us in work mode. Time to make the donuts persé. Implement the to-dos.
In this Taurus season:
April 19th - Sun moves into Taurus
April 19th - Saturn Semi-Sextiles the North Node in Aries
April 20th - Jupiter Conjunct Uranus
April 23rd - Full Moon in Scorpio
April 25th - Mercury Direct - 2 weeks of shadow begin
May 2nd - my birthday!
May 2nd - Pluto Stations Retrograde
May 6th - Saturn Semi- Square Pluto
May 7th - New Moon in Taurus
May 15th - Mercury moves into Taurus
Taurus season basics - the second sign of the zodiac chart - It says dependability, intelligence, and hard work pay off.
Taurus is also the bull of the chart, it gets pegged as the materialistic - connected to finances - and its mantra is I HAVE - I like to reframe and clarify that Taurus is the sensualist of the chart. Ruled by Venus - our goddess Aphrodite - Taurus truly gets what it means to be human, in a 3D skin suit…that a balance of work and pleasure is very much the point of this earth school - it knows financial resources provide food, water, shelter…that are necessary - it also allows us to explore what if what is necessary was also really pleasurable? This season loudly pulls in the question my Magical Mentees are already working with in this cycle - that is Aphrodite’s ultimate question: DOES IT PLEASE ME?
Taurus wants cozy fabrics like uber soft cotton, satin, cashmere or velvet.
Food is our love language.
And yes, Taurus does think it can buy its way to happiness - or a solution. And you know what - sometimes it’s not wrong.
It’s is a fixed earth sign, stable, strong and typically inherently grounded.
With a strength that is deep and often formidable.
Taurus can generate big manifestations when in balance…willing to meet the Universe more than halfway, knowing at their core they are worthy, clear about wants, desires, and needs. There is a heartfelt energy here for life.
Everyone thinks it’s high vibrations that cultivate manifestations….but it’s really high vibration connected to GROUNDING. If there is no grounding there is nowhere for the magic to take root in this 3 dimensional life. Grounding is truly what allows magick to manifest.
In Balance Taurus is lovingly loyal for a lifetime. They are the earth-parent energy that can and will hold anyone…It's sturdy, grounded, stable, realistic, calm, and they are genuine problem solvers and nurturers through practicality - these are some serious kitchen & green witches - herbal, tea, and food healing. Taurus is strong and clear with words, actions, and boundaries. They are fierce. They dish out harsh truth and tough love like no other.. It can work their asses off for incredibly long periods of time to get where they need and want to go. Taurus' stubbornness in exaltation shows up as the capacity to stick with something, to keep trying…for really long periods of time. What is pegged as obstinance can also be commitment and longevity.
In imbalance Taurus can skew towards being a label whore and in general too - much ness- it has a real hedonistic streak when out of balance. Couch potato, overspending, over indulging in all the things (particularly food or shopping) hello hedonism-, sticking with a career or partner way longer than was healthy. The ultimate Taurus imbalance shows in its stubbornness to be ‘right’ and its anger is intense. Ever watched a bullfit? If you continually poke or taunt a Taurus you will absolutely get the horns and danger IS coming. You will NEVER convince a Taurus native of anything and the more you push a Taurus, the harder we resist. Eventually we’ll just sit down. Ever tried to move a bull? Not Happening. It can out wait ANYONE and honestly it cultivates sadistic joy in us to flex our capacity to do so. In imbalance, Taurus can be plain ole lazy - this signals there hasn’t been enough rest time. Taurus also has a hallmark of taking the emotionality OUT of any situation to focus on a fix or solution. They will not hold too much venting for anyone….you want to complain or you want to progress? You can’t do both at the same time. There’s a benefit to this (it really can solve things) but clearly, as humans are feeling creatures it can have its detriment as well.
During Taurus Season
Get more sleep <--Taurus wants all the sleeps and naps. 9- 10 hours a nightLay in the grass, get grounded in mother nature. Get some fresh flowers in your environment (blooming flowers…we want to see what comes to full fruition in a life cycle). Eat things you LOVE, out of hedonistic pleasure, what pleases your mouth, your taste buds.Move your vessel - get on the mat - try not to slip into couch potato cozies too often - balance is key.Lean in to your senses - PLEASE yourself this month Delight your senses: music, food, scents, all the feels…..Have you forgotten what music lights up your soul? Lean into fabrics that feel cozy and safe, organic cottons, hand knit things, satin, silks. Play, explore your senses. Change up the scent you wear, light florals, roses, jasmin…warming scents like amber and vanilla…bring them in.We all have Taurus in our charts somewhere.
We're all working with this energy in this season, in similar yet different ways.
Taurus rules our neck; thyroid, voice, tonsils, vocal chords, and throat. This energy is inherently grounded and yet can get stuck in the mud. Taurus energy needs warm herbal teas with a quality to keep things moving and sunny; peppermint, ginger, cinnamon, blue lotus, and calendula. Things that soothe and support the throat. We’ll find our imbalances in this season if we have growth work in the area of speaking our truth, stating what we want in terms of support and growth…and singing…simply for the joy of it, but also because it’ll raise your frequency vibration. Sore throats, laryngitis…you’re throat energy center is getting an upgrade.
In our Taurus cycle Members of UnicornWellnessStudio.com - focus on strong movements at an even & thoughtful pace to prevent stagnation and plow ahead. Taurus pulls from the earth to provide for the road ahead. Taurus energy asks us to get real and It needs to stand strong, move at a thoughtful pace. This energy will also have us working with our foundations that root us for abundance (lower body - pelvic bowl and legs). Members experience deep hip work to lighten the emotional and energetic load for mobility forward (don’t let your old emotional wounds allow you to get stuck in the mud).

Spring & Aries Season 2024 Tarot Forecast
This episode is our full five card tarot forecast for March 19th - April 18th 2024, as well as March 19th - June 19th 2024.
1 card for the theme of this season.1 card for what to release.1 card for what to learn.1 card for the BIG steps for your highest and greatest good this season.1 card for the NEXT step for your highest and greatest good this season.This is a multi-layered episode of both a micro AND macro cycle.
This episode may have more weight or significance if you are an Aries native with your sun, rising or moon in this sign, or have major placements or a stellium in Aries in your natal chart.
Aries in the Tarot, in the Major Arcana is represented by The Emperor - this is another often demonized card that gets stuck in toxic masculinity narratives of control, willpower by forces, or power hungry motivation. In truth The Emperor is all about strategy and long term goals. It has a genuine connection to entrepreneurs, to father energy, and yes, to colonization and empire.
In balance this card brings us balance and secure foundations through conventional values of community, family, what we cultivate and contribute to these structures. It is constructive boundaries, practical matters, food, water shelter….loyalty and fairness. It reminds us we have free will and to exercise our own power to constructively get to what we want, wish and desire.
The Emperor is the master builder. Who creates based on soul destiny and personal soul/moral compass. This card represents empowerment through independence and authentic expression. In exaltation it is manifestation based on proficiency of one’s personal power/will power through integrity. The emperor is the external embodiment of inner potential.
The emperor in exaltation is the benevolent leader that makes decisions based on the greater good of all. Says we can provide for all and is fair and right to do so..it’s all in how we allocate our resources. It’s in awareness of resources and how to maximize, allocate, and utilize them for the long game.
In Imbalance it is all the toxic masculinity, force, ego, violence that takes and wants at all costs, particularly at the cost of others. Cruelty, domination, control, and violence are present here. WIth zero to little concern for long term outcome. It is unchecked desire. It is immature and undereducated - functions from fear and lack of confidence….it is truly the expression of anger being really loud sadness….lack of empathy, lack of love, lack of compassion, and a lack of emotional intelligence. There is a massive disconnect from emotions here. No tools for constructive processing or healing.
This card will always call up:
What are your long term goals? Are you planning and acting in accordance with the long term?Are you in active emotional processing and growth?How is your relationship to power?Do you exercise constructive empowerment? Do you make decisions? Do you shy away from decisions in order to make others the villain and keep you the victim? Do you make decisions to allow yourself the power you do have in every situation, even if you don’t love the choices, to shine and grow your integrity and path?We have so much goodness to gain from this highly misunderstood card.
Aries is cardinal fire energy - In the suites of the Tarot - fire is wands. Wands represent willpower, creativity, and inspiration. It's unpredictable, hot, and wild. And in imbalance it's an illusion, a nonconstructive ego that only says me first, it can be impulsive, and seriously lack direction or purpose, and can have us feeling meaningless.
Fire is primal. It’s also the element of magic. Transformation. Change. Alchemy. Fire is considered the seed through which all life springs. It’s creative life force and ultimate potential.

HOORAY FOR SPRING!
We dive into Aries season and all it has to offer us March 19th - April 18th 2024. As well as the overall energetics for Spring in the northern hemisphere and Fall in the southern hemisphere March 19th - June 19th 2024 + Happy Astrological New Year!
This is a big shift. An important transition. And in my opinion the most fun time of the year.
Aries season always welcomes the high energy, impatient, competitive, ambitious, confident, bravery as we say goodbye to the moody, dreamy, artistic, romantic, creative, emo, grief, empathic, sensitive, idealistic adaptability of Pisces season.
This transition has us taking the release and healing we got in Pisces season…as well as all the evaluation we’ve been doing since the fall about what works, what has never worked and what we want moving forward….Aries season supports us to finally start the new things we’ve been sitting on, thinking about, plotting and planning.
We won’t reach all the goals in this season. We probably won’t see manifestation this cycle, but we start, we leap, we sprint a fair distance into them. Fire is welcomed back to the chart, to the energetics and fire is magic. It’s an exciting time meant for taking risks and attempting things we’ve not tried before. The risks are supported! Not a yolo type of risk but calculated risks…that we’ve been weaving through and around since Libra season, September 2023. It’s a long time, but it’s the synthesis and understanding of your life lived last year.
Aries season asks us to rebirth ourselves, better, stronger, more empowered, and confident…because of the digging, thinking, feeling, shadow work and exploration we’ve been willing to do. It’s not random action. Exalted, wise, Aries is not impulsive. Under Evolved Aries is impulsive, implosive, and definitely does not think about the long game…..but balanced Aries…now that’s a whole other story we are learning and growing into particularly in this cycle.
Let’s break it down.
In this Aries season:
It’s eclipse season
Mercury is in pre shadow
March 19th - Sun enters Aries
March 22nd - mars enters Pisces
March 25th - Full moon lunar eclipse (penumbral) in Libra
April 1 - Mercury Stations Rx
April 5 - Venus enters Aries
April 8 - New moon solar eclipse (total) in Aries
This cycle - Aries season - and for this community's purpose also an umbrella for all of spring. as a whole it’s going to be a bit wild. Communication is going to be taxed, shifted, weird, and wonky. Both internal and external. And yet there’s so much that offers expressions of communication and growth. Clarity. Brashness. Honesty at a whole other level from yourself and to others. There can be self trust here like never before and you function off of that. It won’t always be received well by others.
It’s a time to take the weird way (isn’t it always, around here). A time to not overthink things. Check in with the body, how do you FEEL? Check in with the brain, what do you think? Whats YOUR truth of the situation…..take action based on these things. We are being asked to move into our wise leader (exalted Aries) with a focus on putting ourselves first - moving away from people pleasing and codependency and into the divine I can I am. There is sovereignty to be gained here if the risks are calculated, understood and taken with grounded faith and surrender to your connection with the unseen.
There’s a LOT going on here - simply with the eclipses.
Aries season and spring ask us to take action. Do. Based on our evaluation of the past year. It’s a mix of cerebral functionality - a little pro and con list here is constructive for Aries….and soul fire audacity. This cycle wants us to jump forward.
The nodes of fate are mathematical points in the sky that shift clockwise through the zodiac wheel every 18 months. They denote where the eclipses will take place - as well as what themes/healings are being asked of us as a collective for that period of time.
We are asked to LEAVE the non benevolent aspects of whatever sign sits in the south node and to grow into the fully balanced aspects of the current north node (also known as the true node).
This will have an even bigger effect on the lives of those with natal placements in the particular nodes.
Currently the north and south nodes are in Aries and Libra.
They shifted into Aries and Libra July 17th 2023 and will remain there till January 2025.
We are all being asked to move out of people pleasing and codependency, non-decision-making flakiness of imbalance Libra and to move into our self reliant, confident, bet on ourselves manifesting capacity of the benevolent leader of Aries energy.
If you have your sun, rising, moon in Aries or Libra - it could be a very bumpy and uncomfortable period of time through January 2025. More so for Aries placements - I said what I said and I’ve been saying it trying to give ya’ll the heads up so you’re not suffering the entire time but getting curious, pivoting, experimenting and above all choosing new actions and paths.
Knowing the energy isn’t the excuse we needed for everything to whirl and twirl in chaos…it’s the opportunity to prep and play along and also to say not today Universe, not on my watch….I saw that and I redirect this way….and the Universe rejoices in our participation and says Yes, goddess. Yes. You came to play.
A reminder or a knowing for the first time - eclipse season is erratic.
They’re like buckets of magic dumped on us.
It’s not recommended to cast spells or set intentions in these cycles. Have I? Yes. But I don't recommend it because it is big and wild. AND there’s no right way to be a witch. If you feel that you can channel, wield and ground this energy…that you’ve put your time in in your practices and at your altar…you go.
Eclipses have us uttering ‘I did not see that coming’. It could be a gift or a reward or an opportunity that brings joy and pleasure…it could also be a tower mess that Kali has been waiting to make so you’ll wake up to your power.
Eclipses offer us the opportunity to purge deep emotional set points that it's well past time to give up. They no longer serve us. ANd in Aries and Libra it massively asks for maturity. Wisdom and understanding true partnership versus childish codependency - martyrdom - imbalance caregiving - and a massive understanding of our self worth and what empowered confidence really looks like in this lifetime.
A reminder in this energy cycle to be clear about what you want and desire.
WANT and DESIRE are the big deal for 2024. Enough of taking scraps…and yes…when we say whatever the universe wants for me or sends my way’ is scraps. It’s a cop out. It takes away the responsibility of aiming at something.
YES, saying you want something is a risk. You may not get it. That’s real. But - when you do - you’re being honest with yourself and the Universe.
Truth is always better than hiding. And the Universe responds and resonates with truth.
If you can finally get honest about what you want and desire……and start navigating in soul honesty…and communicate in that truth…well..that’s quite a miracle right there.
That’s some miracle frequency magic right there.
This cycle is our step into this magic.
Quit pretending you don’t have wishes, wants and desires.
STEP INTO PLEASURE
What would please you this year?
Aphrodite is here
Lilith is here.
Blood and sex magic are here.
Time to resurrect. Time to rebirth.
Time to bring back the ways of the goddess.
Time to play our way into our power.
The astrology will always unravel and reveal itself more in my weekly moonday newsletter (if you don’t receive it already hop on the list at the link in the show notes).
The channeled messaging here always has mysteries to reveal as we go.
We are finally in 2024.
Time to play. Time to grow. Time to manifest.
Aries is ruled by Mars …therefore this season is also ruled by Mars. Mars gets a bad rap…but let’s talk about it.
Mars is the god of war - and therefore is often demonized and diminished to all violence, all the time. Yes, this is part of Mars’ full frequency. Although I don’t prescribe to violence, there are times we must protect ourselves, protect that which cannot protect itself and state clear boundaries out of health, care, and love. What mars whats us to lean into, in this community more and more, is their energetics of body. Moving through and to something. Mars represents the body, the vessel. As the vehicle to and through our wants, wishes, desires. It rules our sexual desires. It governs our personal energy (the Sun rules creative energy), it rules the ego and our blood….we’re talking vital life force here. That’s much deeper than the fire and brimstone Mars we tend to know as a culture. Mars is primal. Passion. Desire…and yes aggression.
It wants us in self discipline of our self care in order to have a vessel/vehicle (the body) that can DO THINGS in the world. If you want to get to someone or something you’re going to need a reliable way to get there - so Mars always calls us to physical practices that allow us to thrive and continue on.
Mars can also be constructive rage that when channeled, has us getting up and saying never again, not on my watch….and then taking direct action to put that sentiment in place. And if you know you know…this puts Mars in alignment with Lilith.
So for Aries season themes will always shift towards desire, sex, pleasure, want, and moving forward to these things.
Mars is not all bad. Nothing is. Embrace the balanced spectrum of Mars and you have empowered self confidence and trust in what your body communicates with you and what you can accomplish with and through your vessel.
Now - let’s shift back into Aries season basics - the first sign of the zodiac chart.
The Spring Equinox coincides with the sun entering Aries - the first sign of the zodiac chart. Aries is the warrior, athlete and child of the chart. It begins everything -hence why it’s the astrological new year.
It’s a cardinal fire sign and represented by the Emperor card in the Tarot ←which I’ll talk more about in episode 60.
Its mantra is I AM.
Aries is GREAT at starting things. It is OFF AND RUNNING. It carries incredible manifestation energy because of its ‘young’ ‘new’ and often ‘naive’ energy. It's prone to beginner's luck.
Aries is wired for battles and is the warrior you want on your side, because odds are…..it’ll win..this energy is relentless and fresh….and sassy salty It thrives on feedback pressure - it needs to hit, push, shove things….simply to feel the resistance.
In Balance Aries fights to protect that which it loves, or cannot protect itself. It evolves into the benevolent leader (the balanced exaltation of The Emperor in the tarot) and truly aims to provide for the highest and greatest good. It’s got passion, drive, and enthusiasm for days - and can often get people to follow because of this fire.
In imbalance Aries can get super egocentric and truly only put itself first. Arguing to win EVERYTHING, even things it seriously doesn’t care about. It can get wildly egocentric, immature, and will stir shit up just because it can. Again, Aries needs feedback…pressure…hence why workouts are the perfect outlet to channel this energy into constructive goals. Rather than punching walls or…good goddess other people.
It’s represented by the ram for a reason. Stubborn. For days…and can get sucked into adrenaline/dopamine hit responses real quick…Aries can trip into addictive behaviors faster than you can say gaming…..also - Aries lesson in this lifetime is PATIENCE…so when in doubt…cultivate patience, Slow down. Don’t give up. Rest don’t quit.
Aries rules the head…remember the stubborn ram with those fabulous horns?
Energetically when we talk about Aries in relation to self care, wellness, we’re going to be working with connecting with the head as well as energetically getting out of the head.
Aries runs hot, fast, and furious and needs to move to burn off the heat…but not cardio. That will overheat the system.
Aries is a bit of a jack russell terrier energy. SUPER smart, tiny and mighty, but they will tear shit up if you don’t keep them engaged or stimulated enough to generate interest.
Think neuro festive brains as well. Needing stimulation to find a constructive zone of focus.
Aries needs movement and cerebral dexterity.
Being the mother to a double Aries, I know the blessings and challenges of this energy so well.
Aries needs to move. But not just any movement will balance its energy—too much drive and heat will blow it out and only generate more anger, frustration and injuries ….did I mention aries is prone to injuries? When they get stuck in their head or push too hard…..there will be an injury.
Remember Aries is ‘young and child-like?’ this energy needs to play.
It also needs to balance the heat with flow - short bursts of movement rather than long drawn out things. They must learn flow and movement that cool…generating steam to go the long haul - to win the war not just the battle.
Hydration needs major attention in this season. For everyone but especially Aries natives. Half of your body weight in ounces of water a day…and slip in a teaspoon of pink salt daily so you have the proper electrolytes for you body to actually absorb the water. Cooling foods is a must as well, anything green and mint, mint mint!
As I mentioned before - Aries rules the Head - eyes, and adrenals.
In this cycle, in their movement patterns, Unicorn Wellness Studio members will see headstand preps and headstands - to connect to that 7th chakra and pull in divine messaging, but getting a fresh perspective to not get ‘stuck in their head’ with these messages. Members will also see our crab series; crab walks, table top, crab rolls (nope, not sushi…pilates), and rabbit pose to keep things playful, grounded from head to toe, cooling, and circulating through the vessel.
If you’re having headache/migraine issues - head to my Healing Protocols signature series - and utilize the Shoulder Stability protocol to help relieve tension and support postural elements that prevent tension that feed into these headaches. Double down on hydration - headaches from too much caffeine and not enough hydration is a thing.
Spiritually Also, stop and ask yourself, what am I thinking but not saying?
Headaches can herrold a lack of authentic expression.
And finally get curious about
What messaging is trying to get through to me and I’m subconsciously blocking, or pretending I don't know what the message is?
In Aries season:
Begin or prioritize a movement pattern - workout - what you start now has the support of the cosmos to go the long haul for the year - it’s truly time to get on the mat with me. If adding some strength training to your life is resonating…this is a great time to do so. PRIORITIZE hydrationMeditateSet a bedtime. Aries in general runs hot and needs sleep cycles to cool down. 7 - 10 hours of sleep a night. Put time limits or timers on your gaming and social media. These brew ‘heat’ energetically. Make time to play - outside - fresh air and grounding matterShare your thoughts and feelings with a trusted humanWhatever you’ve been considering, plotting, planning, evaluating, and re-evaluating - it’s time to take action. Up your greens - green juice, a handful of fresh greens at every meal, and all the mint, some sprigs in your smoothie, peppermint tea. Make cooling a part of your practice. Lighten the scents in your like peppermint eo, lemon and wild orange incenseDoing the above supports endurance through this season and through this year.
Only one way to not experience burnout… and that’s to be in care, consideration and response to your vessel, emotions, energetics in all seasons, but how we start is so important to how we finish. Start fresh, with intention. No one is asking or aiming for perfection around here. We do the best we can with what we have. We can all hydrate mindfully, we can all take 5 minutes to close our eyes and breathe, to take the step out o f the convo to cool down, and to prioritize sleep.
This is a time of balancing our constructive creative inner child that remembers that anything is possible with our wise inner adult that says yes - with constructive self discipline of fuel, rest, hydration, and work/effort.
We all have Aries in our charts somewhere.
we’re all working with this energy in this season, in similar yet different ways.
For those who are Aries natives - sun rising or moon in your natal chart - welcome home, embrace that you have been returned to your full resources.
For those who are super sensitive to fire energy - it may feel like everything sped up and is moving way too fast. Remember you can always take a time out, to slow down, to take the pause and cool off, hydrate, and check in with the body to see what you think and feel. Get curious for your own healing, why speed, confidence, bravery, or impulse might be triggering you.
Fire is the element of creativity, magic, manifestation, alchemy, and willpower. I will it so. Magic is in essence our will power- we cast spells in co-creatorship with the unseen forces to bend our 3D experience to our will. Fire is all of that. Nutshell. It’s the capacity to create - life by design - experiences by design - our design - hopefully in harmony with the greater energetics at play. Hence why we say ‘ these things or something better for the highest and greatest good of all involved’ because as humans we don’t know everything and tho we are tasked with wanting - we are equally tasked with releasing our attachment to the desire once a spell has been cast.
Fire is a transition. It takes raw food and makes a meal. It takes a solid and turns it into liquid. It takes us from one identity to another. It wants new. It wants creation. It wants you making something else out of what you have.

Spring & Aries Season 2024 Tarot Forecast
This episode is our full five card tarot forecast for March 19th - April 18th 2024, as well as March 19th - April 18th 2024.
1 card for the theme of this season.1 card for what to release.1 card for what to learn.1 card for the BIG steps for your highest and greatest good this season.1 card for the NEXT step for your highest and greatest good this season.This is a multi-layered episode of both a micro AND macro cycle.
This episode may have more weight or significance if you are an Aries native with your sun, rising or moon in this sign, or have major placements or a stellium in Aries in your natal chart.
Aries in the Tarot, in the Major Arcana is represented by The Emperor - this is another often demonized card that gets stuck in toxic masculinity narratives of control, willpower by forces, or power hungry motivation. In truth The Emperor is all about strategy and long term goals. It has a genuine connection to entrepreneurs, to father energy, and yes, to colonization and empire.
In balance this card brings us balance and secure foundations through conventional values of community, family, what we cultivate and contribute to these structures. It is constructive boundaries, practical matters, food, water shelter….loyalty and fairness. It reminds us we have free will and to exercise our own power to constructively get to what we want, wish and desire.
The Emperor is the master builder. Who creates based on soul destiny and personal soul/moral compass. This card represents empowerment through independence and authentic expression. In exaltation it is manifestation based on proficiency of one’s personal power/will power through integrity. The emperor is the external embodiment of inner potential.
The emperor in exaltation is the benevolent leader that makes decisions based on the greater good of all. Says we can provide for all and is fair and right to do so..it’s all in how we allocate our resources. It’s in awareness of resources and how to maximize, allocate, and utilize them for the long game.
In Imbalance it is all the toxic masculinity, force, ego, violence that takes and wants at all costs, particularly at the cost of others. Cruelty, domination, control, and violence are present here. WIth zero to little concern for long term outcome. It is unchecked desire. It is immature and undereducated - functions from fear and lack of confidence….it is truly the expression of anger being really loud sadness….lack of empathy, lack of love, lack of compassion, and a lack of emotional intelligence. There is a massive disconnect from emotions here. No tools for constructive processing or healing.
This card will always call up:
What are your long term goals? Are you planning and acting in accordance with the long term?Are you in active emotional processing and growth?How is your relationship to power?Do you exercise constructive empowerment? Do you make decisions? Do you shy away from decisions in order to make others the villain and keep you the victim? Do you make decisions to allow yourself the power you do have in every situation, even if you don’t love the choices, to shine and grow your integrity and path?We have so much goodness to gain from this highly misunderstood card.
Aries is cardinal fire energy - In the suites of the Tarot - fire is wands. Wands represent willpower, creativity, and inspiration. It's unpredictable, hot, and wild. And in imbalance it's an illusion, a nonconstructive ego that only says me first, it can be impulsive, and seriously lack direction or purpose, and can have us feeling meaningless.
Fire is primal. It’s also the element of magic. Transformation. Change. Alchemy. Fire is considered the seed through which all life springs. It’s creative life force and ultimate potential.
