If you’ve picked up a tarot deck before, you know that there are four suits within the minor arcana—cups, wands, pentacles and swords. Each suit contains 14 cards (much like a standard deck of playing cards) and each suit has a distinctive meaning.
In tarot, cups represent emotions, feelings, romance, love and connection. They’re represented by the element of water, therefore often represent water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. They’re also by and large associated with femininity and feminine energy. In a standard deck of playing cards, cups are equal to the suit of hearts.

In tarot, wands represents ambition, expansion, strength, creativity and inspiration. They’re represented by the element of fire and often signify fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. They’re also by and large associated with masculinity and masculine energy. In a standard deck of playing cards, cups are equal to the suit of clubs.
If you’ve picked up a tarot deck in your lifetime, you will have likely noticed that the cards are split into two distinctive categories—the major and minor arcana. The minor arcana are the suit cards (swords, pentacles, cups and wands), which contain 14 cards each and represent more tangible or everyday themes. The major arcana, on the other hand, is comprised of 22 cards that reflect on larger themes and life lessons. The major arcana tells the soul’s journey, a story that begins with The Fool and ends with The World. In the journey, The Fool meets some impressionable characters such as The Hierophant, The Emperor, The Hermit and The Tower, learning life-long lessons along the way.

In tarot, pentacles or coins represent money, work, health, fortitude, service and sensuality. They’re represented by the element of earth and often signify earth signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. They’re also by and large associated with femininity and feminine energy. In a standard deck of playing cards, cups are equal to the suit of diamonds.

They’re also by and large associated with masculinity and masculine energy. In a standard deck of playing cards, cups are equal to the suit of spades.

There are a staggering 13 new moons in 2022, presenting ample opportunities for manifestation. There are not one but two new moons in the month of April and two new moons in Capricorn in 2022. While full moons are all about completion and harvesting, the new moons are all about new beginnings and new endeavors. It’s your opportunity to manifest what you want and to see it come to fruition during 2022.
When it comes to planets being in retrograde, Mercury is the main character. She’s the one everyone knows and the whole story revolves around her. However, each of the other planets has their own retrograde and has an impact on our lives.
If you’re not already familiar with the concept of retrograde, let me break it down for you. Retrograde occurs when certain planets appear to be moving in reverse across the sky. This is an illusion because of the relative difference in speed, but it occurs with each planet throughout the year. This often leads us to feel that things have gone awry in our lives and can have a more significant impact on specific astrology signs.
It’s 2022 and we’re all about money, honey. We want to help you bring on the Benjamins and embrace prosperity in your career.
Hygiene is super important and hopefully, as adults, we’re up to speed on that. But, while we can all agree it’s important to keep our homes and bodies clean, many of us neglect our spiritual cleaning. There are different ways to cleanse the spiritual energy of a space or your aura, but one of the most popular is through burning sage. Sage has been burned around the world for centuries and is commonly associated with cleansing unwanted spirits or energies. It’s a great practice for witches of all skill levels and particularly useful for empaths, who take on energy from those around them.
Our astrological charts can tell us a lot about who we are. They can help us find a love partner, tell us how we make a first impression and can even let us know how we perform in the bedroom. But I bet you’ve never looked into how your sign can help you to succeed in the workplace. Your midheaven sign, otherwise known as a Medium Coeli or MC, can be found on the cusp of your 10th house and shows how you function in the workplace. Getting to know your midheaven can be critical in understanding which career fields you’ll find the best success in and how you’ll climb to the top of the corporate ladder.
When it comes to astrology, often times we put our focus into the positive traits of our signs. However, there is light and dark in everyone. Our Lilith sign, often referred to as a Black Moon Lilith is a placement that tells us about our dark side or our inner bad bitch. It’s not an official celestial body, instead it’s represented by the Lunar Apogee or dark side of the moon at the time of our birth. Many people write this sign off as being a one dimensional approach to our negative traits, but like the figure it’s name after, it’s more complicated than that.
Lilith was Adam’s first wife and although she’s viewed as sinful, she’s someone who stood up for herself and took control of her own power. In understanding who we are, we must recognize who we are at our dark times, specifically in times where we feel hurt or angry. In a more modern context, Lilith is Beyoncé’s “Lemonade,” Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” or Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know.”
Finding a life partner can be exceptionally challenging. But why not look to the stars? Through our astrological charts, we can learn a lot about ourselves and what we need in a life partner. Our ascendant sign tells us about ourselves, it’s our social personality and what comes out during all first impressions. This sign occupies our first house, which is the house of self. Our descendant sign, on the other hand, occupies our seventh house which is the house of partnerships. This sign tells us what we value in a partner and can help us to figure out what we need in a relationship.
As we head into summer and are able to see the finish line of the COVID-19 pandemic in sight, many of us are likely looking forward to dating once again. Unless you’ve been in a relationship, this last year has likely been tricky to navigate in terms of dating. It’s not like you could as easily just pop into a bar and meet someone by chance. However, things are finally looking up and I know that 2021 is going to be the summer of love.
I don’t know about you, but I could use a little help attracting love. For whatever reason, all I attract are f-boys, players and man children. That’s a no for me. But, luckily, there are some crystals that can help people like me to bring on the right vibes for finding the one.
So you’ve figured out that you’re an empath. Congrats on this impressive self-discovery! And if you’re hearing about empaths for the first time, that’s totally OK. Empaths are people who take on the energy, whether that be positive or negative, around them. It’s more than just being hyper-sensitive, empaths are emotional sponges who are deeply impacted by outside stimuli.
If you already know you’re an empath or are just curious, it’s important to realize that not all empaths are the same. In fact, there are seven different types of empaths who experience the world around them in different ways.
Whether you’re an avid astrology fanatic or a total newbie, you’ve probably been curious about who you’re most compatible with. Our sun signs represent the biggest part of who we are, it’s our ethos. No matter what other signs make up the rest of our chart, the Sun is the guiding sign and lets us know what we need (and don’t need) in a relationship.
There are twelve signs in the zodiac and each falls into one of four elements: fire, earth, air and water. But did you know that aside from a sign’s element, there’s another way we categorize the signs? Each sign is divided between three qualities, with one sign from each element representing either cardinal, fixed or mutable. No sign has the same element and quality, meaning that there’s only one cardinal fire sign (Aries), one fixed earth sign (Taurus) and one mutable air sign (Gemini). The quality of your sign tells you a great deal about your characteristics, as well as things you have in common with other signs in your group.
While you may know your sign, you may not know that it belongs to one of four elements. The 12 signs of the zodiac are divided into four elements: fire, earth, air and water. These groups have similar traits, meaning that your sign is most similar (or as some might say, compatible) with the others in your element. Of course, it is important to remember that your sun sign is only one part of you and if you want to dig deeper, we recommend looking at each facet of your chart.
If you’re a fan of astrology, tarot cards and crystals, you’ve likely heard the word “empath” tossed around over the years. And you may be wondering, “What the heck does that mean?” or even “Am I an empath?” Well, as an empath myself, I’m here to help on this journey of self-discovery.
An empath is someone who absorbs other people’s emotions. They’re very sensitive to the ways others around them are feeling and can even take on someone else’s physical symptoms. And while there are plenty of sensitive people out there, less than 5% of the population are true empaths.
Like many niche interests, most people understand the very basic aspects of astrology—such as their own sun sign or maybe the sign they’re most compatible with. Within the last several decades, astrology has grown enormously in popularity and has inspired millions of people to dig deeper into their charts. As you may already know, astrology is more than just sun signs and each person has many different signs working together within their chart. These signs are determined by the positioning of the moon and planets based on the time and location of their birth, giving us not only a sun sign, but a moon sign, rising sign and signs for each of the eight planets (Earth not included) as well. These signs tell us about who we are in a much more nuanced and complex way, from how we communicate, how we emote, how we love and how we connect to the world around us. But, there’s another layer to astrology that’s seldom explored, even by professed astrology enthusiasts, and that’s houses.
Throughout popular culture, we’ve seen certain cards in the tarot deck portrayed as bad luck or omens of misfortune. However, tarot isn’t black and white. There’s no such thing as good cards and bad cards, instead, it all depends on the situation at hand.
I know what you’re thinking, “What do you mean there are no bad cards? When has The Tower/Death/10 of Swords ever been a good card?” Well, here’s the thing, yes these cards often reference that changes and challenges are ahead, but that doesn’t mean your life is going to fall apart.
As much as we’d like them to exist, vampires (i.e. Dracula, Twilight, etc.) are purely fictional. Energy vampires, on the other hand, are very much real. An energy vampire is someone who latches onto you and drains your energy. They can come in many forms, from your relatives to romantic partners to friends to coworkers. But, for the most part, they work to manipulate their victims in very similar ways.
If you’ve spent any time looking into astrology, you’ve probably stumbled across the term “cusp sign.” For those of you who aren’t in the know, let me break it down for you. A cusp sign means you’re on the edge of two different signs and will therefore embody the traits of both signs. As an example, if you were born on March 20th, you could say that you’re on the cusp of Pisces and Aries. And while this is a very common notion among astrology enthusiasts, it turns out that there isn’t much validity to the concept of cusps.
Our astrology charts can tell us a lot about ourselves. They can tell us about how we love, how we think, how we dream and how these aspects will impact different areas of our lives. And while you’re probably already familiar with the twelve signs and the planets, there are likely many terms you’re not familiar with yet—including stelliums.
In astrology, a stellium occurs when multiple planets (3 or more) cluster within the same sign or house. In the case of a stellium being in one sign, this will mean that the sign’s traits will be exceptional prominent in your personality. In the case of a stellium being in one of the twelve houses, this will mean the house will have a very large role in your life plan.
There are 78 tarot cards in the standard deck, with 22 of these cards belonging to the major arcana. The major arcana represents big life lessons and themes. The cards tell the story of the fool’s journey, beginning with The Fool (numbered zero) and ending with The World (number 21). Many of you may recognize these cards, however, there’s more to tarot than the major arcana.
The minor arcana is comprised of 56 cards split into four suits of 14 cards—wands, swords, pentacles and cups. These cards contain 10 number cards and four court cards, similar to a standard deck of playing cards. While the major arcana represent big life events, the minor arcana represents daily life and present situations. These cards give you insight on how to deal with what you’re going through in the moment and can help you to manifest goals—making them pretty major in their own right.
The universe has a way of sending us messages and one of those methods is angel numbers. Angel numbers are repetitive number sequences that carry specific meanings. Many believe these numbers are shown through divine intervention—whether that be angels, the universe at large or some other spiritual force. These numbers show up in great frequency to an individual, whether that be through receipts, license plates, phone numbers, time stamps, etc. Angel numbers appear to send the individual a message and the most common number sequences have specific meanings that can help the individual with a spiritual awakening.
There are 12 full moons to look forward to in 2022, presenting ample opportunities for manifestation. When it comes to the moon and the signs it’s traveling through, we’re in for quite the year—as unlike last year, there are moons representing each of the 12 signs and we’re kicking off the year with our first full moon in Cancer since December of 2020.
While we all know our Sun sign and that sign is reflective of the deepest part of ourselves, we’re much more than just that one placement. In fact, all of us are made up of many different signs, all working together to create a complex and nuanced person. One of the most important signs in our chart in our moon sign, which represents our emotions, habits and instincts. It’s who we are when we’re alone and comes about in our innermost desires.
Have you ever felt like your Sun sign doesn’t fully represent you? Well, that might be because of your rising sign. Each person has a rising sign, which is also referred to as an ascendant sign. Many describe the rising sign as the part of you that comes out at a party, because it’s the part of ourselves we show off first. It’s the mask we wear to the outside world and it makes a huge impact when it comes to first impressions.
When it comes to astrology, there’s way more to each of us than just our sun sign. We’re all made up a combination of signs that are dependent on where the planets were aligned at the time of our birth. One of the signs that you may not know much about is your Mercury placement. This sign impacts how we communicate, process information and learn. This sign comes into play in nearly every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to the workplace.
When it comes to astrology, there’s way more to each of us than just our sun sign. We’re all made up a combination of signs that are dependent on where the planets were aligned at the time of our birth. One of the most important signs to consider is our Venus sign, which impacts how we act in relationships. This sign will tell us what we need when it comes to love and how we express our feelings to our partners.
When it comes to astrology, there’s way more to each of us than just our sun sign. We’re all made up a combination of signs that are dependent on where the planets were aligned at the time of our birth. One of the signs that you may not know much about is your Mars placement. This sign impacts how we assert ourselves, take action and the energy we carry into the bedroom. That’s right, when it comes to our sex drive, Mars takes the wheel.
We all know our sun signs and for many of us, we also know are moon and rising signs. But in astrology, there’s a lot more than just your big three. Each planet is ruled by one of the 12 signs and each planet dictates a different aspect of our personalities. After covering Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus and Mars, we’re finally on to Jupiter. Jupiter rules fortune, achievement and success. Basically it’s all about power and your ruling sign shows how you succeed. Understanding your Jupiter sign can help you to rise to the top of the corporate ladder or even how to start your own business. It’s your code to personally power.
Understanding your astrological chart can tell you a lot about who you are. It tells you about how you communicate, how you love, how you act and even, how you succeed. However, it can also be beneficially in understanding your weaknesses. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and it’s important to recognize both in order to grow. Your Saturn sign represents authority, discipline and leadership. It tells you where you face limitations and what areas of your life need improvement. Saturn spends two and a half years in each sign, which means that whole demographics of people experience the same challenges together. Which means, you’re not alone!
The further out you go in the solar system, the longer a planet stays in each sign. As we move toward the last few planets, a sign is less representative of an individual and more representative of an entire generation of people. Uranus (get your giggles out now people) stays in each sign for 7 years and that means it takes 84 years to go from Aries to Pisces. Uranus rules rebellion, progress and innovation, which means this sign represents what your generation seeks to change about the world.
As you venture further out in our solar system, you’ll notice that each sign is less representative of an individual and instead represents an entire generation. While your ascendant/rising sign will change every two hours (making your exact time of birth exceptionally important), Neptune stays in each sign for approximately 14 years. That’s a long time! Therefore, people alive today can only have a Neptune sign in Leo-Pisces. Neptune will return to Aries in 2025, ending a 12 sign cycle that first began in 1875.
Neptune represents dreams, imagination, intuition and spirituality—meaning it impacts how a generation imagines their ideal world or finds inspiration.
