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!

Witches, this Scorpio season is something special. With a fortifying water trine holding our cosmic wishes in sacred space, we have the opportunity to attune to our deepest desires and work towards actualizing them. It’s time for deep work. It’s time to center the SOUL. The first two weeks of Scorpio Season (from October 22nd through November 2nd) we are working our way towards Mercury Retrograde, and navigating a series of trines to Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. Themes of recalibrating towards care, illuminating power dynamics, and dramatic emotional maturation all come together within the healing container of a Water sign trine. May the cosmic currents support our collective growth!

For Ysha, Activist Witch, witchcraft is a deeply political practice. Our conversation explores the radical roots of witchcraft, and our marginalized history of prosecution and resistance. Ysha has a deeply inquisitive nature and a sincere desire to make political witchcraft accessible for people curious about the craft. Please learn more about their important work Witches for Palestine, which fundraises for the mutual aid project: Cwitches for Gaza (linked below.) Listen in for insights into spiritual activism, the importance of articulating our politics, and how capitalism co-opts and corrupts witchcraft - and how we can push back.
BIO: Ysha (she/they) is a Fat Queer Non-binary Autistic Immigrant Witch of Colour of Egyptian heritage, raised in Italy and now living in South Wales, UK. They have been making content at the intersection of Witchcraft and Activism since 2022 on YouTube as Activist Witch.

The beginning of August is punctuated with high-intensity astrology that is sure to send shockwaves through our collective and individual systems. Mars is a key player, making a combative opposition to Saturn right before the Aquarius Full Moon on August 9th. We might let out a sigh of relief when Mercury stations direct on August 11th, but there will be plenty to integrate during the Mercury shadow period. These times are intensely political, witches. We aren’t shying away from bringing the mundane astrology to the forefront of this episode. With such egregious atrocities being perpetuated by authoritarian forces, we must continue to speak up and speak out. It’s important to stay grounded, stay awake, and stay in your power this Leo season!

Can prayer be a tool for deep healing and sacred connection?
Join us in conversation with Heidi Smith, psychosomatic therapist, herbalist, and author of The Bloom Book and The Uncommon Book of Prayer, as we explore the healing power of prayer as a somatic, spiritual, and ancestral practice.
Heidi shares how her work with survivors of complex trauma has evolved to include ritual, flower essences, and the wisdom of the body, and how prayer can be a sacred container for transformation. Together, we discuss the beauty of slow healing, the role of nature in trauma repair, and why reclaiming prayer can feel both radical and deeply personal.
✨ Whether you’re curious about trauma-informed ritual, or looking to reconnect to your spiritual guides, this episode offers gentle insight and embodied magic.

This week, we dive into the emotional depth and inner strength of Cancer Season’s second act, spotlighting the Full Moon in Capricorn—a lunation that calls us to balance tenderness with resilience. We explore how this moon asks us to show up for ourselves and others with grounded intention, especially in times of uncertainty. With Uranus now in Gemini, the winds are shifting fast, sparking intellectual breakthroughs, restlessness, and unexpected conversations. This episode unpacks how the Uranus-in-Gemini era may challenge our nervous systems while urging us to stay adaptable, curious, and connected.

Witchcraft is woven into this topic, and we share ways that our magical practices can support us in logging off and being more embodied in the world – at a moment when our attention and presence are revolutionary.
