Ember Rites

Witchy Wisdom Wednesday is glowing under the rising Strawberry Moon, loves.

June's Full Moon, the Strawberry Moon, reaches its peak on June 29th in Capricorn. Earthy, ambitious, wise Capricorn. The sign that knows the mountain was worth climbing because of the view from the top.

This Full Moon in Capricorn urges us to be cognizant of our choices through reflection. Look back at what you've built, what you've survived, and what you've become. That's evidence of your power.

And this week carries three big cosmic currents simultaneously. Mercury is entering its shadow phase before stationing retrograde on June 29th, so start wrapping up loose ends, backing up your files, and getting clear on what needs to be communicated before things slow down. Then on June 30th, Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, enters Leo for a full year, opening a fortunate new chapter especially for fire signs. The horizon is glittering, witches.

For belly dancers: Capricorn energy is mastery. This Full Moon, perform or practice something that shows how far you've come. Video yourself. See what your body has learned. Honor the student and the artist.

For yogis: this is the Full Moon to honor your practice. How has your body changed? How has your breath changed? How have you changed? That evolution is sacred. Document it.

Full Moon ritual: light a black or deep green candle, write down three things you've achieved since January, and burn the paper in gratitude. You did that.

Happy Witchy Wisdom Wednesday, curious ones! We're in the dark moon phase, building toward the New Moon in Gemini on June 14th, and the energy is buzzing with questions, ideas, and new beginnings in communication.

Gemini is the sign of the twins, the storyteller, the shapeshifter. This New Moon intensifies our ability to speak our minds and plant seeds around how we share ourselves with the world. What story do you want to start telling? What creative voice is waiting to emerge?

And woven into this week, Chiron, the wounded healer, enters Ta**us, beginning a years-long journey through the sign of the body, the throat, and self-worth. Chiron in Ta**us asks: where have you felt shame about your body? Your voice? Your worth? The healing begins now.

For belly dancers: Gemini rules the arms, hands, and shoulders. This is your invitation to bring more intentionality to your arm work this week. Let your arms tell the story your hips can't quite say.

For yogis: try poses that open the chest and shoulders, or work with the throat chakra. Lion's breath, fish pose, supported heart openers. Let what needs to be said rise to the surface.

New Moon ritual: write a letter to your future self about the story you're choosing to tell. Then seal it, date it, and open it in six months.

What new story are you ready to step into? 👇
