where the magic happens

You do not need visualization skills to do energy work, perform magick, be a witch, or anything in between.

Rituals, spirit work, spells, divination, and so on have been practiced through so many other means than just visualization since practically the dawn of humanity. There are four other mundane and psychic senses than just eyesight and clairvoyance that you can utilize.

Raise and direct your energy via movement, your breath, and music. Meditate through automatic writing/drawing, or focus on how energy feels in different locations. Hone your intuition by asking for and noticing observable signs or listening to the voices of spirits and discerning them from your own inner voice.

This post was begun in the hour of Venus on its night and during a waxing crescent Moon in Cancer on 6.15.26.

Venus officially entered the sign of Leo on June 13th at 5:46am CT where it will stay until July 9th when it enters Virgo (its fall).

Mini forecast for the rest of the month:

Venus sextile Uranus (6.15.26) and trine Neptune (6.16.26) - new interpersonal connections will seem instantaneous, electric, lovebomb worthy while being truly illusionary. was it really love at first sight or were you just lonely?

Venus opposite Pluto (6.17.26) and trine Saturn (6.25.26) - slowing and restricting the otherwise positively charged energy of Venus' current placement with a hefty dose of realism / conflict regarding the need for outward expression and one's unconscious desires + the things we keep hidden from the world / the fear that one's personal power will be stripped from them.

Chiron enters Taurus, Venus' domicile (6.19.26) pointing to wounds relevant to our safety, security, home life, and finances.

Jupiter enters Leo in the late hours of the night on June 29th, augmenting the assertive, confident, bold, luxurious nature of Venus in Leo. On the other side of the coin, this particular coupling can lead to arrogance, drama, and attention seeking behavior.

Keywords & themes: grand gestures, adoration, loyalty, passion, transparency, boldness, playfulness, being flirty, being expressive, confidence, being center stage, main character energy, pride, charisma, stubbornness, arrogance, dramatic, overbearing, aggressive, moody.

Venus in Leo does not make itself small for anyone. It is simultaneously loud, proud, and glamorous, and not afraid to go after exactly what it wants in an unashamed and unapologetic manner. This transit reminds us to strive for authenticity but reminds us that the work must be done to get there.

Consider spells for:

Confidence and courage

Overcoming anxiety and "stage fright"

Eloquence

Easing and banishing stubborn or aggressive tendencies

Banishing low self-esteem

Promoting self-care

Glamour

Attraction

Beauty

Opportunity

Lucky color of June 9, 2026

✦ On June 9th at 2:35pm CT, the celestial benefics, Venus and Jupiter, will form a conjunction in the sign of Cancer alongside the fixed star, Procyon, at 25° 46'. This is the the LAST time these two will be meeting in Cancer for the next 12 years as Jupiter enters Leo at the end of the month.

✦ During this conjunction, both planets are highly dignified - notably, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and Venus is dignified by triplicity. Venus' magnetism paired with Jupiter's ability to amplify just about anything provides the perfect recipe for manifesting positivity in all aspects, for receiving and accepting blessings without having to work yourself to death for them.

✦ Positively aligned keywords include: attraction, abundance, good fortune, blessings, joy, love, kindness, companionship, creativity, expansion, growth, harmony, emotional attunement, understanding, empathy, and intuition.

✦ On the other side of the coin, we face idealism, indulgence, and delusion, as well as a lack of discernment, self-control, and boundaries - there is such a thing as over-expansion when it comes to Jovian energy and it's not uncommon to be so wrapped up in Venus' warm embrace that you ignore the plethora of red flags in front of you, or make emotionally-fueled decisions in regards to material wealth. You may even exhaust yourself by overextending yourself and your capabilities.

About Procyon:

✦ ✦ "The sixth star is Canis Minor [Procyon], and it is in the 15th degree of Cancer. It is of the nature of Mercury and the complexion of Mars. This star maketh a man bold and eloquent when it is on the ascendant, and it giveth the power to deceive when the Moon is with it on the ascendant or midheaven." ✦ ✦ "Its stone is Agate, which hath a color like wax; though it is sometimes found of a black color, sometimes of a white color striated. Its virtue is to grant the favor of God, of men and of spirits; and it hath great power in the art of magic." ✦ ✦ "The herb pertaining thereto is Primrose. Put thou the flower of this together with the flower of Pennyroyal beneath Agate when the Moon shall be with Canis Minor: this ring doth make him that beareth it sound of body. Its form is as a cock or three maidens, with this character." - Liber Enoch version of Hermes on the Fifteen Fixed Stars / Hess, Regulus; Warnock, Christopher. De Quindecim Stellis: The Comprehensive Translations of Hermes on the Fifteen Fixed Stars

But wait! There's more!

These three celestial bodies will also be conjoined with the Lot (Part) of Fortune, a mathematical point in your birth chart that represents luck and success.

Consider performing spells regarding:

acquiring wealth, prosperity, and luxury

encouraging or improving creativity

glamour magic for beauty and self-love

transmuting negativity to positivity and prosperity

encouraging empathy and the understanding of others

increasing the chances for rare opportunities

advancing in one's career or education, especially in the creative arts

beginning new relationships or partnerships

the reverence of Venus, Jupiter, and Procyon

Use this spread when you need to vet someone to learn all you can about them. This spread was originally written for vetting someone before you (or someone you know) decide whether or not to go out with someone, pursue them, or accept their advances, but it can be used to vet anyone. New acquaintance you're unsure of? It works for that. Met someone new and you get the feeling they're not being genuine about themselves? It works for that. Your best friend starts seeing someone new and something just doesn't feel right? It works for that. And then some!

From @sheydmade 's 'With Love: Tarot Spreads for Matters of the Heart.'

I’m still a witch when I’m elbow deep in dishwater. Sure you can use it to rinse away things you don’t want in your life, but you don’t have to. Doing the dishes is magical by virtue of the witch doing it.

I don’t know, it just feels like there’s sometimes pressure to be . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. aesthetic . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. about everything, or you aren’t doing it right; nothing could be further from the truth.

tiny money jars worked immediately that it scared me :')

ingredients

bay leaf (abundance)

white rice grains (prosperity)

salt (cleansing, protection)

thyme (purification, protection)

moonstone (manifestation)

white quartz (amplifier, cleansing, protection)

i sealed the top off with a green paper and used green ink to write my sigil (amplification), then tied it off. all the ingredients used are just things lying around the house. one of them is placed on my table where i work, and the other is something i can bring around.

i used a lot of protection symbols because i realized that there are so many ways to earn money if you trade off your peace, energy, and integrity. i could be hired into a good-paying job that takes advantage of me, come across opportunities to steal from others, or get a high-paying client that disrespects me – those are things i didn't want to happen.

cleansing motifs are to clear up the factors that prevent the spell from working as you'd like.

supporting spells. put a bayleaf with a fehu rune written on it in places where you typically put your money in (e.g., wallet, coin purse, coin bank).
