There is no veil between this world and another. It is, instead, a rich tapestry woven together with the finest of thread. You don't train yourself to see through a barrier, but instead you learn to feel the strings all around you.

Hey everyone! This is my second year doing witchy wishlist. I almost thought about not doing it again; last year someone sent me a 'sigil' with words that when translated were a hurtful comment about my weight. Super disappointed in you whoever you are, this is supposed to be about positivity and kindness. Anyway, I'm back again this year and looking forward to granting wishes!! Here is my wishlist:

-Any info about my personal astrology (chart readings, mood boards, playlists, compatibility)

-Follow me on Instagram @kgraulty

-Speaking of Instagram, I would love, love any samples or PR from your small business that I can promote on my feed (message me for address, I'm located in California)

-A simple tarot reading

-Support black owned businesses this holiday season for food, gifts, or even stuff for yourself

-An aura or past life reading

-Anything from my etsy wishlist would be appreciated 🥰

-Friend me or dream visit my island on Animal Crossing New Horizons (see beautiful card done by @mayorvica below)

That's all I can think of, thanks so much for reading!! PS: I will be responding and granting wishes under my main account @octokathryn

astro notes 🌙💭

your moon sign is NOT the “real you” 

the sun sign DOES matter

all the planets hold EQUAL weight in the chart: but you will feel the influence of some more than others depending on house placements, stellium(s), aspects, etc.

outer planets are important

planets should never be interpreted as just their sign (unless of course you do not have access to birth time/full chart! you can still learn a lot from only the sign/aspects), their house placement determines where their energy is released and the aspects to said planet will shape the expression, direction and release of it’s energy

sign cusps do not exist. they are not the same as house cusps. you cannot be two sun signs at once, two venus signs, etc. read into decans & anaretic + critical degrees, look at the house placement of your planets, learn about houses in general, check planetary aspects, etc.

squares & oppositions are not as bad as people say!

saturn & pluto are not only negative; jupiter is not only positive

🤍 your moon sign is your emotional state & reactions; inner emotional needs and desires. a lot of people, because they view emotions as everything/the most important, think the moon sign is “the real you”. or they think this because they haven’t researched enough into why they can’t relate to their sun sign. your moon sign is simply your emotional base. that’s it. not the real you; it’s the emotional you; the inner needs you have. your planets will always come together and interact with one another; your chart as a whole is the “real you”, if anything.

🤍 on top of that, the idea that someone with moon in a sign is “more (x) sign” than someone with that sun sign is ridiculous. the sun sign person has the entire identity, ego and base personality of that sign. the moon sign person has the emotions. neither is more of that sign than the other, unless they have multiple placements in that sign. even then, if those planets in said sign are in a “repressed”/hidden house, or have aspects that heavily alter them, that changes everything. 

[ another expansion: astrology isn’t a competition. it’s a weird thing for people to try to one-up these days. via “more difficult” placements or being “more (x) sign”. it’s strange. some placements are harder to deal with in theory, sure. but it’s all about how you develop and handle them. no one has an easy chart, no one. all good aspects and placements have negatives; and vice versa. even the most loved planets (ie: jupiter) can bring pain. even the most feared planets (ie: saturn) can bring peace. it depends completely on development, growth, etc. use astrology as a tool for growth, comfort and healing. use it to learn and discover more about yourself and others! but don’t make it into a warped competition 😩 ]

🤍 the sun has become misunderstood through the astro community trying to get people to pay attention to more than just the sun (which is important). but in doing so, it has downplayed the role and importance of the sun. the sun is quite literally your core. it is your identity, your ego! a lot of people grow into their sun placement, and relate to it more as they get older. the sun is very important, it can dictate where you’ll find fulfillment (along with north node) and self-expression. it’s your core!!!!

🤍 outer planets matter! i used to be so guilty for this as well, saying things like “but the personals are most important”. it’s not true. the outer planets are not less important, they just tend to be related to more through their house placements and aspects, rather than the sign alone. pluto can show us where we crave power- or get pushed around by it; it can show where we frequently transform, etc. neptune can show where we give unconditional love, where we are deceived, where our creativity thrives, etc. saturn shows where we need stability, where our fears lie, what we need to learn, etc. jupiter can show where we go too far, where we have luck/our optimistic area of life, where we crave more learning and discovery, where we are too trusting/careless, etc. uranus can show where we need individualism, where our creativity thrives, where we experience sudden and unexpected change in life, etc.

🤍 squares and oppositions are not inherent doom. whether it be in synastry or within your own chart. yes, both bring about challenges; but they are meant to be a learning experience. once learning the lesson from squares and oppositions and mastering them, they often (imo) become more powerful than a trine or sextile aspect. oppositions teach you balance between the planets in which they occur. a common opposition i see people struggling with is moon opposite mercury (and i feel your pain, me too), but this opposition is meant to teach you how to balance your emotions with your logic. the same goes with moon squaring mercury, your meant to learn to unite the differences between your emotions and your logic; find an equal ground. this is a blessing in disguise! it’s going to give you far different perspectives and insights into your emotions as well as the things you study, interactions with others, etc., than a trine or sextile would (those usually just give people one singular view on such things). squares/oppositions in relationships allow you to learn from one another and teach each other new perspectives. also, squares & oppositions are of the same mode (fixed, cardinal, mutable), so they hold a lot in common regardless.

🤍 saturn and pluto are not entirely bad and being ruled by these planets or having them strongly in your chart is not solely a curse. saturn brings drive, ambition, strength, stability, security, determination, and the list goes on. it can ground other planets and help you garner the push needed to follow through in various areas of life. saturn gives the harsh lessons that end up allowing you to grow the most. pluto brings creativity, independence, intuition, power, drive, strength, etc. pluto tends to bring about destruction, but only when it’s needed so a lesson can be learned and things can be rebuilt in a stronger, more safe and rewarding way. “rebirth” is a word often forgotten when discussing pluto; the destruction doesn’t come for no reason. the same goes for jupiter; it’s often associated with only optimism and luck; which is why i think people can struggle to relate to their jupiter placement! jupiter also shows where we need to expand, learn more. it shows where we need to reflect and discover more, and also where we need to reach a balance between independence and closeness with others. jupiter can also, similar to neptune, show where we may be deceived or manipulated, because we look too optimistically towards that area of life; or are too careless because we’ve experienced heavy luck in that area of luck before. it can point where we go to excess: there is definitely such a thing as “too much of a good thing”.

Leap Year Magic

(this post inspired by the lovely @upthewitchypunx)

Leap Day is a day that emerges every four years of the Gregorian calendar; it rises out of the tides of time for one very special moment, then submerges beneath the surface and isn’t seen again for another four years. For witches, this can present a very unique opportunity to do some Leap Day magic. Some ideas include:

- Long-term goals spellwork. If you have a list of some long-term goals, and there’s one you see happening in the next four years, set off a controlled release spell that sets that plan in motion! Use this year’s February 29th to start a spell, and set an intention to see your spell come to fruition by the next February 29th. - Leap Day curses. If you’ve really got a grudge against someone, and they deserve a wallop of a curse, February 29th could be the best day to put it in place. A curse that’s not set to release until another February 29th comes to pass can be a very powerful thing indeed (but may take a lot of energy to cast as a result, so practice self-care along the way!). - Spirit and fae communication or spellwork. In myths and stories, there was often a certain time of year where the world of the fae and spirits was more accessible to us. That same liminal quality that many of us associate with Samhain or Hallowe'en can also be tapped on Leap Day. Much like fairy markets and spirit realms, it’s a day that pops into our existence and then disappears for four years as though it had never been. Spellwork involving the Fair Folk or any other spirits could well take advantage of this day that has a very in-between quality. - Realignment spells. Leap Day is a day we arbitrarily add into the calendar in order to help realign our calendar system with the astronomical equinoxes and solstices, as the astronomical year is actually just a bit longer than what our 365-day calendar will allow. Use this day of correction and realignment to add that same energy to a spell of your own, helping you get things back in sync. - Magical burials and banishments. Have something you want to get rid of, and you really want to see it gone this time? Give it over to some Leap Day spellwork. You can banish something from your life on February 29th, and it will be so gone, not even the day itself will resurface for years.

Do you have any ideas about how you can use Leap Day in your witchcraft? Reblog and add your thoughts! I’d love to add more items to this post and reblog it with your suggestions (credited, of course) each time a Leap Day approaches.
