This week in the Astrology & Studio December 30th - January 5th

My Dear Magic Makers,

Happy Moonday! 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:

• Get on the mat with me in the studio?
• Drink warm herbal teas?
• Make time to contemplate last year, and next?

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: 

•  Keep contemplating last year, and next.
• Get on the mat - ALWAYS it the foundation of stability and magical current. 

• Watch your New Moon Tarot Reading in the studio.

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 second 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 a lengthy 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 timeline is in alignment with what I witness big goal manifestations coming to fruition, 2 - 3 years. 

In theory it sounds like a long time but as a human if you're going to make big shifts for big results it'll take 2 - 3 years...the understanding, action, and then the fruition. 

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. 

Make sure to watch or listen to your New Moon Tarot reading in your Unicorn Wellness Studio member Library - it's auspicious and absolutely supportive to wonderful things next year...if and when we take the time to genuinely process and learn from the years prior. 

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 (cause they aren't always facts <---hello, Aquarius....) in order to get to your goals, new growth, and final healings. 

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. YOU CAN DO THIS! IT'S TIME! 

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.

Have another adventure in this lifetime. Begin another chapter, a next story, release the outdated narratives. Show how you've grown...because you have. Feel into your soul. What's it telling you? 

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 @tandy_gutierrez.

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...body shaming, body positivity culture are on the table for talk...don't miss this episode. It’s historical, gossipy, educated, unhinged, and in total delightful. 

- 🦄 Day 1 of You are Grounded in my online studio - UnicornWellnessStudio.com - 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's circles, push-ups, and classic down dog.  

- 📲My social media break officially ends today. You'll only see my return to Instagram...mainly in stories and DM's. My anxiety levels are substantially lower when I'm not living there. I'll post as it resonates. Drop in my DM's or tag me in a post to say "Hey, girl, Hey!" to celebrate the return. 

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. OOhhhhhh 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 ⬅️ read into that...ideas, actions, and concepts are not only developing but solidifying now. Lean in. Take a chance on your wildest dreams. Go constructively delulu to let yourself imagine your wildest potential. AND heads up, it could throw a magnifying glass on codependent tendencies, commitment issues, or where you do more dreaming than research, planning, and implementation for the dream to come to fruition. All hail Aphrodite in Pisces. I will happily take this water energy after all the weird and challenging shifts. 

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. 

- 📸 Did you get on the mat? 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) be your accountability buddy! And be clear you can do this any day of the week (or everyday)....I'm just reminding you on Friday 😘and because I’m back on IG I'll see it!

Saturday, January 4th:  

- 🦄 Day 1 of Fully Grounded on UnicornWellnessStudio.com  - 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.
