The Magic Spark

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of January 20th - 26th, 2025 with practical and magical tips and tactics to help resource and support you through all the energies. 

Last week was one to savor. There was a distinct lack of off kilter shifts. Hooray! Did you get to savor the bits of soul calm by working with the full moon in Cancer? 

Last week did you:

This week has the sun shifting and one wildcard. In theory, it too offers bits of soul grounding....and... that wild card could change every bit of that vibe. Let's prepare for grounding and stability, focus on benevolent blessings, and support our navigation if things take a really weird swerve. 

This week: 

Monday, January 20th: 

-🌗 Happy Mo(o)nday! Sun enters Aquarius. Welcome home Aquarius natives. Hooray for this time of out there, futuristic messaging. Tune in. Practice grounding (get. on. the. mat.) We're working with Aquarius energy for the next 30 days and of course, since Pluto entered Aquarius, for the next 20 years. Making friends with this frequency behooves us all. It's not always simple here. It's super high frequency that generates anxiety. It can settle as fear in the body and it needs somewhere to be directed and to go/flow. Meditation, our Energy Healings, and getting on the mat, and root veggies are our best tools and tactics these days. Also, lean into episodes 98 & 99 on the podcast for the full story. for Aquarius season, and for the deep dive of the vibe.  

Tuesday, January 21st:          

- ☀️⚡️♇ Cazimi! The Sun and Pluto are conjunct today.  Anytime a planet is conjunct the sun...it's so special it's called a cazimi. Conjunctions are wild card energy. This is a moment when two celestial bodies sit at the same spot in the sky. They make a tight squeeze past each other in a tight corridor. It could be an amazing spark that is ignited...and it could be a hot mess. A conjunction with the sun is always a power wash of the energetics of the planet it engages. Today it's Pluto. I adore the cathartic, epic rebirth energetics of Pluto, but it's never a soft touch. It wants change at all costs and will do it in any way that gets our attention...so pardon me if I'm not celebrating this one just yet. As a coach and mentor to humans for over twenty years now most of the time we humans do not make the changes needed until we're really in dire straits. We could have prevented things...and yet...we ride it out. With the energetics of the Universe I always hope for the best and leave doors open for miracles...while planning for the least optimal. 

I think we can all see and understand the side-eye for this conjunction on the heels of our current inauguration. Especially because transits have a lead time of 5 days into the actual happening. So this energy entered the chat last Thursday and will play out till Sunday (at least). 

Pluto offers wake-up calls. Let's make sure we answer this time, whether it's personal or collective. And let's all focus on it being a benevolent blessing. Light a candle. Whisper a prayer. Cast a spell for this deep cleanse as Pluto is pulled into the heart of the Sun. 

Wednesday, January 22nd: 

 EP 101 here welcomes one of my besties Thea of The Mediocre Black Woman over on substack. She's a podcast maven. We've even had our own pod together Say What You Need to Say. And I'm finally just bringing her here, to our home base. I'm a Taurus sun, sometimes I'm slow 🤣. We talk about why we're leaving META platforms (I've had one foot out since 2015), our bald heads, and Magical Mentoring....and why and how it all relates to our wellness and spirituality.

- 👑🎧 I'm on the Queen's Podcast! It's a big day in the podcast world 🤣 Katy & Nathan have invited me back for another History's Mysteries! Where they choose an unsolved mystery from history and I channel the answers with a special tarot reading. If you haven't experienced one of these yet...they are pure magic! Check out our Mary Queen of Scots episode and do not miss today's newest addition on Spotify. At the time of writing this, it's still a mystery to me what I'm reading for 😄. Link in show notes

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded Girdle  - You'll need a resistance band for this workout. Theraband brand preferred. Today you'll experience a classical pilates mat with additional resistance and strength. Shoulder series, banded series of Five, banded plank.. It's a straight forward goodie for the full body.

Thursday, January 23rd:

- 🆕👩🏻‍💻 🚀 Our Blog is officially launched! It's time to go old school. As the whole of the collective considers a move off of META platforms, we're all remembering ways to connect that are kinder on our nervous systems. Creators (this includes me) are leaning into our roots and what resonates most for what we are being called to create and give...and let's be honest...by the data/numbers...blogs have never gone out of style. I'll be posting every week. Check out the latest about 2025 - The Year of the Hermit. Also, let me know what you'd like to see me write about!

Friday, January 24th: 

- 👑 Aphrodite's Day. Time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? 

-🌀🔮 Energy Healings. Today's a great day to use an energy healing in our UWS member Library...and last week they got a clean-up and reorganization (as per the Cancer full moon). You'll now see two separate sections for them. 1) is for our frequencies and 2) for our goddesses.

⚡️If you haven't used them yet (Yup, I know you're out there 😉) Today's the day! These are deep, healing and make a massive difference in your overall alignment and focus. My healing junkies and mentees all agree.

🧘🏽‍♀️They're a great swap for meditation AND you don't have to shake or tap if you're not feeling up to it, they are energetic healings and you can simply listen to them as soothers for anxiety, a lift out of nil motivation, or simply a fuel boost midday. In the frequency section there's a 5-min reset, 5-min anti-perfectionist offering, and an 8-min chakra balance...my personal fave lately. 

🗣️ You're hearing me talk a lot about this because they pack a punch and we need this work in 2025. The new energetics we're all experiencing are new to our vessels as well and there will be an uptick in anxiety, depression, mood swings, and body aches and issues. Some of these things are simply energetic. We always do the full spectrum of practical and magical...but this year in particular the issues will be energetic and you can minimize them, and you can prevent them through our practices. This year please get on the mat, use a 5-min frequency, and hydrate. Make it as simple as possible so you do them. I've created as many options as I have been called to do so so all you have ever had to do is open the studio and simply press play. That foundation is as true in year 13 as it was on day 1. 

Saturday, January 25th:  

 - 🦄 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 I'm your host in the private community group this month! Click through from your UWS member Library...or download the Kajabi Communities app on IOS or Android. Log in with your Unicorn Wellness Studio credentials.   

- 🦄 Day 1 of Frequency New Moon #1  - You'll need a resistance band for this workout. You'll need a 36" high-density foam roller for this restorative series. You'll experience our traditional full rolling warm up, our open book series for inner thighs and thoracic rotation. This series is another persona fave. It's yummy and smart and hits everything leaving you stretched and refreshed. 

Sunday, January 26th:   

 - 🌑 New Moon in Aquarius energy begins. There’s a quieting of energetics. A slowing down of the body. Mama moon asks us for restoration and rest in this cycle. Time to clear up your calendars, socialize less and lean into your spirituality more for these 7 days. 

- 🌑🎴Schedule time to watch our New Moon Tarot Reading. Best time to watch it is today thru next Saturday. The lunation is smack in the middle of next week, on Wednesday, and these readings give you the details and directives for our next two weeks.  

- 🪞Your weekly mantra:  

Mother Earth seeks healing. 

The Universe directs us to change. 

I learn and implement my daily powers in deeper and richer ways in 2025. 

I understand more deeply. 

I hear more clearly.

I live into my intuition and my soul compass stronger than ever before. 

And I take action in integrity moment after moment in tiny and mighty ways. 

I remember in 2025 that all the small things matter and they do add up. 

Change happens in increments. I contribute in graceful and meaningful ways.

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of January 13th - 19th, 2025 with practical and magical tips and tactics to help resource and support you through all the energies. 

Last week was  the beginning of the weird of 2025 astrology and energetics. Did you put your frequency scuba suit and goggles on? Did you place or strengthen boundaries? Did you initiate constructive flow mode

Last week did you:

This week is one to savor, in its lack of off kilter shifts. It's certainly not simple, and yet it offers a soul calm if we're willing to work with it. 

 This week: 

Monday, January 13th: 

-🌕 Happy Mo(o)nday! Today is our Full Moon in Cancer. Make sure to do some kind of water cleansing. Shower, bathe, cry, swim...it all counts. Let go of old narratives. Grieve, mourn, cleanse, rebirth. Talk through feelings. Allow clarity, clear boundaries, and uncomplicated realities to wash up to shore. It's prime time for Mother Wounds (Moon in Cancer), but more than that, it's well placed magic for Mother Wound healing. A wonderful time to see them as humans on their own path and to let go of what doesn't support you and attach to what has you nourished, bolstered, and thriving. 

Cast a spell today through Thursday if it resonates. Call in Aphrodite or Lilith. Get to know the parts of your lunar energy that have been dormant. Clean something this week. Refresh, cleanse, rearrange, spruce, or redo whatever pulls your attention. It matters. It's magic. This lunation is amped but cozy. Wants us home (whatever home means to you), and pulls our attention to getting really clear about what makes us a better human, the best version of ourselves (minus- perfection). Focus on your schedule, your practices, and give some attention to your relationships at large. Do you trust them? Do you invest in them? Do you nurture them? Do you let them have cleansing and release moments to begin refreshed? Do you allow them to do this for you?

There's so much going on in the world right now. I don't have anything wanting to be offered on this, at this moment of writing, other than to nourish YOU. It's going to be a lengthy haul of big, weird, new, unknown, and challenging energetics in 2025 for at least four years.

We are all called to get lovingly serious about what supports us to navigate it....you know the answer around here; mat, meditation, tarot, hydration, ample sleep....repeat.

Invest in this in 2025...more so than ever before...and the Universe will reward you. Perhaps as soon as June. 

The work begins now under this first full moon of 2025. Cancerian energy calls to mothering ourselves. It calls for understanding true Matriarchy (circular, sharing, generative), and our balance between self care and accomplishing in this lifetime. It calls for tough love, it offers callouts as well as to where we're complaining, allowing ourselves to be victims, giving away our power and simply letting the mess get messier because it's easier to blame someone or something else. 

We may get feedback that's tender, but true. 

Creating better humans is not all softness, hugs and cookies. Consequences, responsibility, repair, recovery, and boundaries are all required. 

Evaluate and rework your flow. Love yourself more...but that may look like recruiting support, or adulting, rather than rot days on the couch clutching your phone for door dash (tho please do that too...in balance).

This lunation asks for more mature versions of self-care. Invest in your long game. Practice integrity. Do the right thing, and recognize that's rarely the popular or easy thing. 

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded Full Moon #2  - You'll need a resistance band for this workout. Theraband brand preferred. You'll see shoulder flossing, a strong standing series for your upper body, glutes, and hamstrings. My favorite upper back strengthener, assisted leg circles, banded planks, and a modern take on old school arm strength. 

Tuesday, January 14th:          

- 🌕🎴🎥 If you haven't already - Watch your Full Moon Tarot Reading. As always, it's juicy and channeled just for this community. It's the magic and directives we need, now. 

- 🌕🎥 Watch your Full Moon Basics video. If you need the basics that every full moon lunation offers us!

- 🦀 🎥 Watch your Zodiac Basics: Cancer video. Whether you want to learn more about your personal placements or need extra intel on the energy of next week's full moon, this video supports you.

Wednesday, January 15th: 

 -🎙️✨ EP 98 right here on The Magic Spark is our Deep Dive and Forecast for Aquarius season. The astrology of it all is getting louder and louder for me to bring to you. I've amped up podcast episodes because that's the messaging, to do so. I truly hear life is easier when you're listening in. There is guidance. There are heads up and there is support. Please Use it. 

Thursday, January 16th:

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded Magic - No props needed for this workout. You'll see mermaid crunches, classic spine stretch forward, all fours circles, our all fours hip and glute series (personal fave for the results to support the low back and 🍑). A bit of a yogic mini flow, puppy, and modified push-ups. It's strong and efficient. 

-🎙️✨ We’ve got a 3rd episode here this week, EP 99 is our Aquarius season tarot forecast! One card for the spirit in which to move through this season.

- 🌕🌊 Full Moon energy ends. Energy begins to mellow out tomorrow. Today is still a time to socialize, have the talk you've been avoiding or need to continue, do, run those errands and hustle to finish up, launch, or complete things. If your self-care is the thing that's needing catching up on DO THAT. Prioritize constructive care.  If it's been hard to sleep the last 7 days, reprieve is coming. 

Friday, January 17th: 

- 👑 Aphrodite's Day. Time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Consider leaving an offering for Aphrodite on your altar. A honey jar...sounds just like the title; a jar with honey, roses, rose quartz, or any sweets or things that resonate as Aphrodite to YOU. There is no right way. Add anything, all the things, or one thing to the jar then simply place it on your altar with an uttering of thanks to Aphrodite for her narratives, energy, and magic in this lifetime. Venus has a snuggle with Saturn later this week and I think this would serve us well to give our lady all the treats.

❤️‍🔥You might also use the Aphrodite tapping or shaking in your Unicorn Wellness Studio member Library, today.

Might as well announce I'm planning on fully leaving META platforms in March. I've struggled with the integrity of being on them since 2015 but with Zuckerberg's lovely announcements this week I simply can't stay. If we want the world to change, we have to change our habits, and I aim to walk my talk in all places and spaces. 

This community group is calm, quiet and safe. I've added a blog to the site and I'll be creating a substack soon. We can still connect (I want to be DEEPLY connected just not on Facebook or IG). The amount of disregard for fact checking and marginalized communities was already poor...the brazen disregard for equity and fairness is simply too much for me. 

I hope you'll follow me to the other spaces when the time comes in the Spring. I love you so much, I've only been staying for you, but we have to remember that we have power as people. Especially in a Capitalistic culture, where we spend our money, the platforms we invest our resources in (time, money, and energy) MATTER and if we shift habits and investment of energy we truly can shift the culture. It's out of integrity to be utterly appalled at the incoming presidency but still be spending our time with META, or on X etc. I'm not sharing this out of judgement. Life can be complicated with businesses and connections.....and yet...if we want to solve and shift for the greater good, we're going to need to get honest about how we're contributing to the things we say we don't want. 

I hope you'll join me, when the time comes, if it resonates with you, leaving spaces and places that no longer invest in DEI, fact checking, or safe speech is utterly Lilith. 

Sunday, January 19th:   

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded Beauty - You'll need a resistance band for this workout. More strengthening work in a full 360 degrees! You get a classical Pilates breathing tutorial to start this one, monkey feet with resistance, banded series of five and bridge, crab reaches, bow, and banded plank! This is another strong series that aims to increase our strength. 

- 🌹🪐Venus conjunct Saturn. This is a wild card. A tight passage of two planets. Goddess of love and war, pleasure, receiving, and fuck-around-to-find out presses up against father time, the disciplinarian. Now...this could be hot and sexy...yessssss please... or it could be the cold water we needed to see the work we need to do in order to actually get what we want. Could be a great day to take a constructive risk towards your desires. It's definitely a day to do the things that make you feel empowered, worthy, lovable, and sexy (Hello, glamour magic). Be prepared for something interesting. Even if it's harsh, you'll look and feel amazing as you navigate it. 

- ☀️👽Sun enters Aquarius! Welcome home Aquarius natives. You are returning to your full resources! It's a time of futuristic messaging. Tune into the frequency. Practice grounding (get. on. the. mat.) Meditate. Don’t make it complicated - use my 5 - min frequency reset in your Unicorn Wellness Library. This is energy we're working with for the next 20 years. Making friends with this frequency behooves us all. Lean into episodes 98 & 99 here for the full story.  

- 🪞Your weekly offering:  

I am a conduit for celestial messaging. 

I am a channel of mystic, healing progress. 

I get weird in order to help the collective make inclusive progress for the better.

Last week was still pretty mellow and offered a dash of Aphrodite sweetness. Did you use it to keep sifting, sorting, dreaming, mapping, and planning into your weird, yet evolved 2025?

Last week did you:

This week is the beginning of the weird of 2025. 🤣🤿 Put your scuba suit and goggles on!

 This week: 

Monday, January 6th: 

-🌗 Happy Mo(o)nday! Our two weeks of calm are essentially up. Water enters the chat in a big way. My loves I cannot stress enough how grace and space for yourself and others near and dear is super important this week. There are a substantial amount of shifts that could have us all tender and slightly off. Be clear there is sweetness, hope, new stories, and abundant potential here....but it's going to have us meeting our feelings (and the feelings of others) in order to cultivate the magic and brilliance on the other side of things. Things could be cranky, crabby (moon in Cancer), feeling raw (Moon in Cancer, Pisces nodal shift). Practice immaculate self care. Drink rose tea. Take walks. Get on the mat so you have time to sift all the feelings that may roll through. There's a dreamy quality (Aphrodite in Pisces) paired with blunt conversations (Mercury in Capricorn). It offers so much in feeling to heal it, let a few things sting, accept what is yours, hand back what is not, and move with intellect and love to strategize for better! 

Our current planet placements looks like this:

▪️Fire = 0

▪️Earth = 2

▪️Air = 2

▪️Water = 5

I think we can all see the imbalance here🙄. In Capricorn season it's pushing us to identify what feelings are and are not facts. What needs embracing and what needs releasing in order to get to our goals. We can't keep hauling feelings that are not facts into the equation. The math won't math until we get square with our emotions.

Three of these water placements are in Pisces...with the nodes of fate about to switch to Pisces/Virgo. My dear Pisces natives my condolences on the melting and transformative pressure we're about to experience (this includes me). It's going to turn out AWESOME but we will be pressed in the meantime. 

Good news in this mash up we've only got two planets retrograde so although it's a feeling time, it's not all about us and we CAN make progress. 

Cling to your practices or begin them. It's impossible to put a fence on the ocean, but in order to ground through these energetics it's all about cleansing, releasing, resetting, small breaks between swims. 

▪️ Get on the mat <--sweep out the daily mucked up energies

▪️Hydrate and drink rose tea <-- flush out the psychic vampires and keep your psychic channels clear and flowing.

▪️Use your Energy Healings daily! Heeey 5-min Anti-Perfectionist healing. It doesn't have to take up a ton of time, you just have to do it. Strip off the crud others are trying to stick to you or you're piling on yourself. 

▪️Do a good smoke clearing in your home weekly.

▪️Bathe and shower...it's an energetic cleanse. Adding epsom salt to your baths is an auric cleanse. 

Let the weird of 2025 officially begin. 

WE CAN DO THIS! 

👆🏽PICK ONE THING FROM THAT LIST AND PRACTICE IT DAILY THIS WEEK!

- 🔴🦀 Mars Rx backtracks into Cancer. Oooh my loves. Brace your feels. It could be a crash of waves and emos here that aren't quite comfortable. Cue tears for no reason, tears for every reason, frustrated tears, angry tears....Mars does not enjoy swimming backwards in this water sign. It wants to drive ahead and Cancer wants it nourished, healed, bolstered, and aware of what needs balance before it gets to make progress. There is much to learn here. Give yourself a ton of grace in this phase. And perhaps extend the grace to those around you having a hard time with their emotions. Emotional boundaries are the name of the game here. Do you tread on others? Do you allow others to traipse past yours? Bolster the boundaries loves. Their mess is not yours and yours is not theirs. Everyone tend to your own right now. This of course can be deeply cathartic and confidence boosting...it can equally be the adulting you've been trying to avoid forever. Whichever way it goes, it offers beneficial growth for the better. 

Tuesday, January 7th:          

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded Bridge  - No props needed in this workout. Just as the title suggests you'll see a strong hip and glute series of bridge variations and wheel, our favorite side-lying series for Capricorn season, a side plank with multiple options, clamshells, and some low back love with baby bird and heel presses to the ceiling. It's strong..yet soft at the same time. 

- 📲I'm back on IG! Say Hey in DMs or scroll the stories...posts coming soon. I'm still recovering from some sort of ick this holiday season. My roll is slow. 🐌

- 📸 Did you use one of your Unicorn Wellness practices today? Snap and post a pic! tag @tandy_gutierrez on IG. I love being able to give you a virtual high five for showing up for yourself + sharing pix of your practice actually builds accountability...let your community (that includes me) SUPPORT YOUR PRACTICES! 

Wednesday, January 8th: 

 -🎙️✨ EP 96 offers a deeper dive into the Nodes of Fate moving this week and coloring our next 18 months! If you have placements in Pisces or Virgo you extra need to lean into this episode...and if you have placements in Aries or Libra, you'll want this info too. Make sure to listen in. 

-☿ ♑️ Mercury moves into Capricorn. As a blunt and clear communicator I appreciate this vibe...but for those who find clarity challenging and just 'mean'...welp...throw on a puffer coat to give you some buffer between yourself and communications in the next three weeks. Try to lean into the efficiency of words...less is definitely more and aim for clarity that moves to solve NOT to be right or make someone else wrong. It's about getting to goals, making progress, and stripping down niceties for efficiency. 

Thursday, January 9th:

- 🦄 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 I'm your host in the private community group this month! Click through, magic makers, directly from your UWS member Library...or download the Kajabi Communities app on IOS or Android. Log in with your Unicorn Wellness Studio credentials.   

- 🌕🎥 Watch your Full Moon Basics video. We've got a full moon in Cancer on Monday of next week but the energy starts tomorrow. If you want the basics that every full moon lunation offers us, dig in!

- 🦀 🎥 Watch your Zodiac Basics: Cancer video. Whether you want to learn more about your personal placements or need more intel on the energy of next week's full moon, this video supports you!

Friday, January 10th: 

- 👑 Aphrodite's Day. Every Friday is a time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Give yourself as much of that today as you can. Focus on your senses. How can you engage them today? Sight, taste, touch, sound, smell. Share in our community group or post and tag on IG to share how you honored the goddess today...that's YOU, you're the goddess. 

- 🌕🌊 Full Moon energy begins. Energy ramps up. It's time to socialize, chat, do, run those errands and hustle to finish up, launch, or complete projects. Use it. Ride it. Fuel with it....and beware...if it's too much energy...you'll need to do the opposite. No right way and no shame...just check in with how this lunation's energy is hitting you. Act accordingly.

- 🌕🎴🎥 Watch your Full Moon Tart Reading. I'll have this uploaded to your member library by today. Schedule time to watch anytime today through next Thursday. 

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded Full Moon #1  - No props needed for this workout. You'll see mermaid crunches, classical pilates, a strong bridge series, series of five, jackknife, our side-lying bent leg series for the hips and glutes, and our tiny full moon flow with a rolling dog. It's a goody ya'll. Challenging but flowing. 

Saturday, January 11th:  

 - 🌕🌗🌑 Nodes of Fate Shift. This sets an overall tone for the next 18 months. Get the full download on this in EP 96. This is massively contributing to the watery, emo, daydream, hard-to-focus, or sweet on everything vibes you could be experiencing...especially if you've got natal placements in Pisces or Virgo. This is a long game transit...put on your scuba suits and release all notions of perfectionism. It was all a lie anyhow. Mess and feelings are the tools you need to refine and work with.  

Sunday, January 12th:   

- 🪞Your weekly offering:  

I flow in the ocean of emotion.  

I learn when to float and when to paddle. 

I allow my sensitivities to be revealed. 

I allow old wounds to heal. 

I may be called out, but I receive for growth.

I let go of notions of perfect or control.

I meet myself, my resources, where they are at NOW and support them all towards growth, better, and empowerment. 

- 🌕🌊 Full Moon in Cancer tomorrow. It's a great time for a water cleansing/ritual (goddess bath anyone?) Let go of old narratives. Grieve, mourn, cleanse, rebirth. Cast a spell January 10th - 16th if it resonates. Call in Aphrodite. Explore Selene. Lilith is here as well. Get to know the parts of your lunar energy that have been dormant. Where can you strengthen your intuition? Your Magic? Or do you just need a simple cleansing? It's a great time to clean your living space for fresh foundations that support you.

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of December 30th, 2024 - January 5th, 2025 with practical and magical tips and tactics to help resource and support you through all the energies. What’s the energy? How can we harness and work with it?

Last week was more mellow than the weeks prior. There were energetics offered for processing and integration, some liminal space to allow clarity on new ways forward. There was plenty to grow from. 

Last week did you:

This week is still pretty mellow. Use this slower space, that offers a dash of Aphrodite sweetness, to keep sifting, sorting, dreaming, mapping, and planning into your weird, yet evolved 2025. 

This week: 

Monday, December 30th: 

-🌑 Happy Mo(o)nday! New moon in Capricorn and Mercury is officially out of post shadow today. It feels like a big day for a pressure release and clarity. Seeing and hearing things from a very foundational, functional space. Seeing and feeling what could shift for the better and lay better foundations for the year to come. 

Today's lunation is also known as a black moon - the 2nd new moon in a Gregorian calendar month. And around here where there is the phrase black moon, there Lilith be. Short story on this is you may feel the urge to use your voice, and make moves (Lilith) towards fresh starts and new beginnings (new moon) around your goals (Capricorn)...AND if you've integrated the energetic work of last year, rather than earn your worth and wear yourself out on your way to goal getting, you'll be focused on balance of self care (integration of benevolent Cancer energy - the counter axis to Capricorn) and pleasure while making tiny, consistent moves towards manifestations. There's a ton of Capricorn storyline here because Pluto cleared this sign, a 20 year transit November 19, 2024. 

Big transits take time to fully flesh out. 

My opinion is for these 20 year cycles you'll see a 2 year dimmer switch of the old energy moving out and the new coming in. 

This lunation is special and it offers a lovely harmony with the Gregorian New Year, of us synthesizing what we want, need, and can bring to fruition in 2025. 

Good things coming to fruition in 2025 will require new tactics. It's a time of genuinely setting your ego aside, and at times your feelings.

Your big beautiful goals this year will also require that you do the planning, plotting, evaluating that you generally skip....it's time to identify what never works, what has always worked, leave what isn't supporting your goals (feelings be damned), and make besties with what does! Time to peel off your armor of self sabotage and underachieving....your wound of worthiness has massively healed in the last year(s). 

It's not a new year, new you scenario, it's a new year, best you yet kinda vibe. 

The astrology of 2025 is weird and intense....but learn to embrace the weird as wonderful, and the intense as an opportunity to make magic.

Tuesday, December 31st:         

-🕯️🪵 🥂Day 11 of Solstice/Yule/New Year's Eve. Whatever you celebrate today, embrace it as a time of thinking, daydreaming, liminal floating...what Mateo and I call bullshit conversations (so we don't get bound or committed to any of the wild ideas we have)....flesh out wild maps and be willing to throw them away OR start packing and plan your travel dates. Explore what's possible. Embrace what's improbable...sift through what could bridge the improbable to possible. 

Ways to do this:

▪️Listen to the New Moon Tarot reading - use the prompts.

▪️Journal or jot out your frustrations from 2024 <- these will point to where you need shift and support to do the best you can to not repeat your part in them. 

▪️Journal or jot out your successes in 2024 🙌🏽 Celebrate your wins, acknowledge your progress! Which of these can you repeat and what tactics from your wins can you apply to the frustrations to support them better?

▪️Feel into your goals and intentions. What's reasonable, what do you acknowledge as a stretch but worth reaching for, and what's not for this year but you'll revisit in 2026. 

▪️Be willing to let go of goals that no longer resonate. Be willing to embrace goals you might have thought weren't you. Maybe they weren't in years prior but are now. 

▪️Pull your own Wheel of the Year Tarot reading! It's my favorite New Year's tradition. bigger for me than even Solstice or Yule in general...this is the moment I invest in. Maybe it'll work for you too? 

Simple steps on this (there are many ways to do it....because there's no right way to be a witch).

- Pull 1 card (Tarot or Oracle if you're not confident with the tarot) for every month of 2025.

- Lay it out in a circle (it's a wheel!)

- Write them all in a journal for you to refer back to each month in 2025...add stickers, cut outs, tape, glue, rhinestones to your heart's content. 

🕯️🧘🏽‍♀️I light candles and burn incense and meditate prior....do whatever resonates with you. Make the reading yours...to guide and support your most magical year....and consider snapping and posting a pic of it and sharing it with me on IG.

Always remember you are allowed to grow.

You're supposed to evolve. You are meant to learn and expand.

This means you're going to need to embrace permission to change your mind, shift, and yes....change. 

Change is good. If you're stuck, same, or stagnant, you're not learning, growing, or evolving. 

Any new year offers us a moment of constructive change....when we lead it. When we embark on a life by design, rather than a life by default. 

Fate and freewill go hand-in-hand. 

Wednesday, January 1st: 

 -🎙️👑🧹 Celebrate New Year's Day her with The Magic Spark! EP 94 Nathan from Queens History Podcast and I have another treat for you...more on the history and narrative of WICKED in our part 2.. 

- 🦄 Day 1 of You are Grounded  - No props needed in this workout. There's deep core, low back, hip, and glute work here in a lovely single leg bridge series, classic side-lying leg lifts, baby bird, lizard, all four circles, push-ups, and classic down dog.  

Thursday, January 2nd:

 - 🌑♑️ Last day of New Moon energy. Energy and momentum returns tomorrow. We're still in a phase to minimize socializing, working, doing, and put focus on restoration, recovery, and repair. Meditate, nap, daydream, journal, craft, float, bathe, pull some cards.

 - 🌹♓️ Venus enters Pisces. Our woman LOVES IT HERE! At its best this energy is romantic, in love with potential, seeing opportunities for happy endings. This energy is caring and sweet. It's utterly artistic. It has us trying things and putting things together. Lean in. 

Friday, January 3rd: 

- 👑 Aphrodite's Day. Every Friday is a time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Give yourself as much of that today as you can. Focus on your senses. How can you engage them today? Sight, taste, touch, sound, smell. 

Saturday, January 4th:  

- 🦄 Day 1 of Fully Grounded  - You'll need a Theraband resistance band for this workout. This is a personal favorite; upper back strength, our shoulder series, low core strength, and a lot of 🍑 (presses + circles).  

Sunday, January 5th:   

- 🪞Your weekly offering:  

New is birth.

New is rebirth.

New is potential.

Fresh starts and new beginnings mean clean slates. 

Potential is here.

We stand on one of many precipices. 

It's time to create, solve, discover, and implement.

EP 85: Unraveling the magic of WICKED with Nathan from Queens History podcast

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of December 23rd - 29th, 2024 with practical and magical tips and tactics to help resource and support you through all the energies. 

Last week offered zero major transits! Though we were still alchemizing all the shifts prior. Did you adjust for things to be as simple as possible? Did you define your boundaries? Did you lock into your self-care tactics that were a bare minimum? 

Last week did you:

This week is more mellow, and yet there's plenty to listen and grow from. 

This week: 

Monday, December 23rd: 

-🌓 Happy Mo(o)nday! The sun just entered Capricorn, on Saturday, Our vital life source moved into a new house of the zodiac. The vibe shifts. Get all the details on these happenings in episode 89. Our vessel's will be adjusting to this change for up to two weeks. Go slow. Get on the mat. Drink tea. 🫖Hibiscus, Rose, and Tulsi are calling. We're simply being asked to do more of the same from our weeks prior:

▪️Practice Grounding (mat, outdoors, wear vetiver, burn sandalwood etc)

▪️Practice non-reactivity

▪️Lock into consistent adulting & toddler bedtimes

▪️Evaluate the last year (or longer) and start to hone in on how you want 2025 to be different to and through YOU. 

▪️👆🏽Make the map to the above. 

🗺️ Think of it as a working map, one that will mutate, and adjust and respond to life as it comes...or as my mentees are finding...maybe it's time to throw out maps. Perhaps it's time to make a new plan to navigate towards your goals based on your intuition and processed feelings. ⬅️NOT IMMEDIATE FEELINGS. They're different.

✂️Maybe 2025 is the time to not be bound to things that truly don't work, never have, and honestly you earnestly didn't want any how. It's a time of peeling away expectations, boxes, and unconscious programming. To constructively care less, give no F's what other people think or say. 

🧹2025 might just be the year you truly bust out of internalized patriarchy...and show your goals your bad witch energy...maybe you too can defy gravity! 

👩🏽‍💻This week invites in more clarity and a work ethic of jotting, mapping, journaling, and seeing some directives flesh out or simply sitting down to do that. 

- 🦄 Day 1 of Swinging Climb  - No props needed in this workout. There's classic work and Tandy specials in here; series of 5, L sits (hello, deep core), my side lying hip series, crab reach, malasana, a parallel triangle pose with hip socket work, and a very on-the-nose mountain pose in honor of Capricorn season. 

Tuesday, December 24th:       

- 📸 If you have a holiday you're celebrating today, it's still a great day to support yourself by getting on the mat. It might be the best thing you do today....and if you do... snap and post a pic! I love the holiday mat pix. They've always been my favorite of the year. I just posted one in our private community group last week! Pink tree and all. Post & Tag @tandy_gutierrez on IG. 

- 📱I'm still on a social media break through December 31st. Email, voxer, or message me in our private community group through the UWS  membership Library...heads up, it'll be a light return to Instagram only. I'll be in DMs and stories, but posting will be erratic at best...as I have the bandwidth. 

Wednesday, December 25th: 

 - 🎙️NEW EP 92 welcomes back Dionna Eshleman. It may be a little unhinged...at the time of writing this newsletter we have not recorded yet 😆 Our intention is to bring you a little diddy on Yule (tis the season) as well as discussing new year's resolutions and why I pull my soap box on them every year. As always, we'll keep it organic and see where the conversation takes us! I

Thursday, December 26th:

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded New Moon #1 - You'll need a set of yoga blocks and a resistance band for this restorative movement series. This officially begins our new moon cycle, on the mat. This is week 1 of our training cycle. Full focus for the next 6 days on flexibility and mobility. It's either the very best and most supportive time to get on the mat or to return. This is when integration from all the effort and work prior happens if you've been on the mat. Results happen in the rest phase. This is a week of restoration, integration, and regeneration. When we honor the rest cycle, this is where and win muscle mass forms, this is when weight our vessel no longer needs is released, it's when flexibility increases, or stability takes root. It's truly magical. utterly un-patriarchal. Lean in. You'll see the yummiest QL stretch, hips stirs, neck stretches, hula hoop hips and figure eights. Your hips, IT bands and hamstrings are well cared for in this series. 

Friday, December 27th: 

- 👑 Aphrodite's Day. Every Friday is a time to ask: What does my inner goddess need in order to remember she is sacred, divine, and designed to receive? Give yourself as much of that today as you can. Focus on your senses. How can you engage them today? Sight, taste, touch, sound, smell. 

- 🌑♑️ New Moon energy begins. Energy has already been low, but if it takes a deeper turn to hibernation...that's on brand. New moons always ask us to minimize our socializing, working, doing, and put more focus on restoration, recovery, and repair. ⬅️ Note the language here. This is a sweet moon, in my opinion, that allows us to set up sturdier foundations with yourself or others (probably both) and that may require repair and recovery. It's a process Magical Mentees are forever learning more about. It's not always or just an apology...it's about changed actions moving forward. It's not about right or wrong, it's about solutions for long term goals...or clarity on separations for healthier futures. Start tapping into Capricorn energy. You've got a New Moon Tarot Reading, Zodiac Basics: Capricorn, and a New Moon Basics video to lean into today through January 2nd.

Saturday, December 28th:  

 - 🌈🦄Share in our Community Group. If you have the bandwidth, it's time to shake up how we connect as a community. As Magical Mentoring comes to a close in this session, they'll be in influx of voices from the community. It's exciting and one of the most powerful pieces of Unicorn Wellness, YOU the community. Safe and constructive community spaces are going to pull a major focus in 2025 so please take the pause from social media, it's just really not in alignment with what we do around here. I've struggled for years with it. But our personal private community is such a healthy way for us to support ourselves and each other. Click through, my loves! Directly from your member Library...or download the Kajabi Communities app on IOS or Android, then log in to your Unicorn Wellness Membership.  

Sunday, December 29th:  

- 🦄 Day 1 of Grounded New Moon #2 - No props needed for our second new moon, constructive rest series. You'll see our shoulder 5, more QL focus (lower back), all four circles, good morning shoulder openers, rotations for spinal health and digestive support, leg cradles, and a little foot massage. Again, your hamstrings, hips, and low back are massively taken care of in this series. 

- ⏯️⚷♈️ Chiron direct. We're old hat at these energetics by now, as Chiron stays in a sign for up to 8 years. Chiron has been here since 2019. So don't hit the alarm on this one, AND be aware where Chiron is....there is healing. This day (or week) could be sensitive. There may be angry or frustrated tears...and you may not know where they came from. That's ok. Let them roll through. There is healing here. The long game on this one is we're learning how to actually process anger in this transit. We're learning how to understand anger as a part of the spectrum of healing, necessary, and how we've typically only experienced it as violence rather than sacred rage that points us in the direction of what was not protected, seen, or held...as well as where we put of healthy boundaries that say never again, not on my watch. Anger is powerful for constructive change and catharsis...if you feel otherwise, I encourage you to explore your inner sacred anger. It's super patriarchal and internalized misogyny to never express anger or frustration. We are not here to be pleasing, happy, or hashtag blessed all the time. That's spiritual bypassing, and we don't practice that around here. Let this shift roll through and be aware, feeling tender is okay. 

- 🌑♑️ New Moon in Capricorn tomorrow. Make time to watch your New Moon Tarot Reading. This energy lasts through January 2nd and has amazing prompts for journaling or a personal tarot reading....particularly in terms of the Gregorian New Year. It lines up nicely with us evaluating what we loved about the last 12 months and what we didn't, what we want to bring with us into 2025 and what we need to NOT. It's a fresh start and new beginning and offers new goals...and new ways of getting to said goals. Lean in. 

- 🪞Your weekly mantra offering:  

I am constantly releasing, shedding, and rebirthing.

I am consistently renewing, while always remaining myself.

I remember, evaluate, and review in order to plot, plan, and move forward.

I am forever experiencing life...in both response, reimagining, collaboration, and surprise. 

I allow life to surprise me with benefits, abundance, joy, and love. 

For there is both continual disappointment and continual triumphs in every human experience.
