#soft witch

She was here briefly last year. Dipped in, stirred things up, retrograded back into Pisces like "just kidding, you're not ready." Well. She's coming back on the 13th and she's not leaving until 2028.

Saturn in Aries is the transit that says you said you wanted to be bold, so prove it. You said you wanted to set boundaries. You said you wanted to stop shrinking. You said you wanted to lead. Saturn heard all of that and she's about to hand you the invoice.

This isn't punishment energy. It's accountability energy. Saturn doesn't punish you for wanting things — she makes you earn them. And in Aries, that means earning them through action. Through starting. Through doing the scared thing anyway.

The next two years are going to ask you where you've been hesitating and WHY. Where you've been waiting for permission that's never coming. Where you've confused patience with avoidance.

And with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction hitting exact on the 20th at 0° Aries? The dreams and the discipline are meeting at the same front door. You don't get to just visualize anymore. You have to build it.

Pull a card tonight and ask: where is Saturn asking me to step up?

Then don't flinch at the answer.

devotion doesn’t have to be loud. you can worship quietly and it will still reach her.

not everyone has the space (or support) for elaborate altars, spell jars, or rose-scented candles and that’s okay.

Aphrodite understands intention above all. she knows your heart before you even speak it.

some small ways to honor her:

• light a candle

a simple flame can say everything.

light it with love, whisper her name, or sit in the glow for a moment of peace.

• write to her

letters, poems, little notes of love or gratitude.

keep them, fold them into your journal, or burn them when you’re ready to release them into the air.

• honey offerings

sweeten your tea with honey and drink with intention.

or pour a little into a dish, leave it at your altar (or chosen space), then dispose of it respectfully later.

• self-care as devotion

when you take care of yourself, you honor her.

run a warm bath. read something soft. let yourself rest.

• beauty as prayer

apply your makeup slowly, lovingly. let each brushstroke be an offering.

see the art in yourself.

• baking & cooking

make something sweet or nourishing.

pour love into it, stir with intention, and offer the warmth to her before you enjoy it yourself.

• meditation + prayer

sit in stillness. breathe love in, breathe doubt out.

talk to her: out loud, in your mind, or in the quiet spaces between thoughts.

• cleanse + renew

open a window, light incense, let go of heaviness.

invite her warmth to fill your space again.

you don’t need much to honor her.

a placid ritual to stain the moment i dawned cracking on purpose.

slow ruin is holy when done with grace.

the smoke coiled around me like a cloaked desire,

a soft elegy to all the parts of me that wilt without applause.

i don’t need to burn all at once to feel alive.

when the world feels blurry, my imagination blooms.
