We may have missed a few Magickal Mondays, but rest assured the magic didn't wait for us! We hope the last few weeks have been productive for you. Here's your week in advance:

Monday the moon starts the day in 4th quarter in Cancer, but phase changes to new moon at 1:33 pm. She then goes void of course at 1:55, and enters Leo at 4:16 pm. Color is white.

Tuesday the moon is in first phase in Leo until she goes void of course at 8:27 pm. Color is maroon.

Wednesday the moon is in first phase in Leo until 7:40 pm, when she moves to Virgo. The sun moves into Leo at 4:37 am, and Leo Season officially begins! Color is yellow.

Thursday the moon spends the day in first phase in Virgo. Color is turquoise.

Friday the moon starts the day in first phase in Virgo before going void of course at 7:08 pm and entering Libra at 9:54 pm. Color is rose.

Saturday is another calm day astrologically, where the moon spends the day in first phase in Virgo. Color is brown.

Sunday the moon starts in first phase in Libra, going void of course at 9:09 pm. Color is orange.

As you can see, this isn't a particularly great week for gardening, but with everything that's going on in the world it's nice to have a bit of calm. Unfortunately the calm is only at first glance, as a group of "tiktok witches" attempted to HEX the MOON, ruining what could have been a pleasant week. They also tried to hex the fae, so I strongly suggest leaving milk and honey out for them and paying special homage to any lunar dieties you follow. We'll talk more about this another day this week.

Magickal Monday is here again! Your week at a glance:
Today the moon is in first quarter, and spends the day in Cancer. Color is silver. Today is a good day for gardening.
Tuesday the moon is in first quarter, and starts in Cancer before going void of course at 3:20 am. She enters Leo at 8:33 am. Neptune enters retrograde at 12:31 am, which will strip away the rose-colored glasses and force us to see reality as it is. With the contentious state of the world right now, this could reignite the struggle for equality. Allies, keep your eyes open! What we haven’t been able to see will confront us. Color is scarlet.
Wednesday the moon starts the day in first quarter in Leo and goes void of course at 1:34 am. She stays void of course most of the day. Color for the day is topaz.
Thursday the moon exits void of course at 1:05 pm, entering Virgo. At 2:48 am Venus returns to direct movement. Color is turquoise.

This week is so good for gardening, we thought it would only be fair to show you our harvest. Basil, dill, and sage from our owner's garden. The sage, of course, will be made into smoke cleansing wants for the store, and the rest...well, Katie is going to be making more pesto than she can give away.

How are your gardens doing? Feel free to post pictures, either of your garden itself or your recent harvest!

Happy Magickal Monday! Here’s your upcoming week--spoiler alert, this is a great week for the gardeners among us:
Monday, the moon begins the day in third phase in Capricorn and goes void of course at 2:06 pm. She then enters Aquarius at 8:54 pm. Color is white. A good day for gardening.
Tuesday the moon spends the whole day in third phase in Aquarius. Color is maroon. If you have any continuous or early harvest plants, this is a good day to harvest.
Wednesday the moon goes void of course at 10:35 am and remains void of course for the rest of the day. Color is brown, and this is another good day for harvesting. The Celtic Tree Month of Oak begins.
Thursday the moon enters Pisces at 5:32 am. Color is green. This is a good gardening day.
Friday, the moon spends the whole day in third phase in Pisces. Color is coral. Yet another good day to be in the garden!
Saturday the moon has quite a bit of movement. She begins the day in third phase in Pisces and enters fourth quarter at 2:24 am. She then goes void of course at 8:45 am, entering Ares at 5:03 pm. Color is black. Once again, a good day for gardening.
Sunday the moon spends the entire day in fourth phase in Ares. Color is gold. Check your garden for harvestables again; today is a good day to harvest.

And for those of you at yesterday's protests, we were proud to march with you. Black Lives Matter.
