12 Tips to Help You Start Using Astrology in Your Magic
Astrology has been used in magic and witchcraft for centuries, dating back to ancient times when the stars and planets were used to tell time and understand the seasons. Today, astrology is still widely used in magic, as it is believed to have a powerful impact on our lives and our magickal practices. I am far from an expert in astrology - I would highly encourage you to seek out a reputable practitioner to help with understanding your birth chart and to dive deeper into these topics - but here is what I have pursued to deepen my personal magic practice.
In astrology, each planet is associated with specific energies and traits, and the positions of these planets at the time of our birth can provide insight into our personality, strengths, and weaknesses. This information can then be used to help focus and enhance our magickal practices. For example, the planet Venus is associated with love, beauty, and abundance. If you are born under the sign of Venus, you may be more inclined to use magick for attracting love, beauty, and abundance into your life. Similarly, if you are born under the sign of Mars, you may be more inclined to use magick for protection, courage, and strength.
The study of astrology also involves understanding the movements of the planets and their interactions with each other. This information can be used to determine the best time to perform certain types of magick, as well as to understand the energies and influences that are present in the world around us. If you are working on a spell to attract love, you may choose to perform this spell during a Venus transit or when the moon is in a Venus-ruled sign.
In addition to astrology, other celestial bodies such as the moon and the stars also play a role in magick and witchcraft. The phases of the moon, for example, are often used to determine the best time to perform certain types of magick, such as spells for new beginnings or for endings.
Here are 12 tips to help you start using astrology in your magic:
Learn about your natal chart: Your natal chart provides a snapshot of the positions of the planets at the time of your birth. This information can give you insight into your personality traits and tendencies, and can inform your spell work and magic.
Study the basics of astrology: Learn about the zodiac signs, the planets, and their energies. This will help you understand the language of astrology and how to apply it to your magic. The Inner Circle offers classes and content bundles specifically tailored to witches looking to learn more about the zodiac, planets, and astrology to enhance their magick and ritual.
Use astrological timing: Timing is key in astrology, and you can use astrological transits and phases of the moon to determine the best time to cast your spells.
Correspond astrological energies with your intention: Match your intention with the energies of the planets and zodiac signs. For example, if you want to manifest abundance, you might use Jupiter and Taurus.
Use astrological talismans: Talismans are objects imbued with specific energies. You can create astrological talismans using symbols and gems that correspond to the energies of the planets and zodiac signs.
Incorporate astrology into your rituals: Use astrological correspondences in your spells and rituals to enhance their power. For example, you might light candles in colors that correspond with the planets, or burn incense scented with herbs associated with the zodiac signs.
Use astrological affirmations: Affirmations are powerful tools in magic. Use affirmations that align with the energies of the planets and zodiac signs to reinforce your intention.
Keep an astrological journal: Keeping a journal is a great way to track your progress and growth in magic. Use your astrological journal to record your spells and rituals, and to reflect on the influences of the planets and zodiac signs.
Connect with the cycles of the moon: The phases of the moon can be especially powerful in magic. Plan your spells and rituals around the different phases of the moon to maximize their energy. I have created a deeply detailed course all about Moon Magick. Check that out within The Inner Circle.
Study the houses: In astrology, the houses represent different areas of life. Familiarize yourself with the meaning of each house, and use this information to inform your spell work and magic.
Work with astrological archetypes: Astrology also has powerful archetypes, such as the Great Mother and the Hero. Incorporate these archetypes into your spells and rituals to tap into their energies.
Experiment and have fun: The beauty of magic is that there is no one right way to do it. Experiment with astrology, and have fun with it! The more you use it, the more intuitive and confident you will become.
If astrology is of interest to you, find an expert and study with them. Astrology is an incredible tool for modern witches when used correctly. By understanding the energies associated with each planet and the movements of celestial bodies, we can gain deeper insights into our lives and use this information to enhance and focus our magickal practices.
