The twelve signs of the zodiac are categorised into four groups of three signs, each ruled by a particular element:
Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.
Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capircorn.
Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.
The signs ruled by each element are naturally compatible with each other, they ‘get’ each other and share similar values, attitudes and outlooks on life. Birds of a feather fly together. If your coven had a member from each zodiac sign, your other two element signs would be your best witches.
This New Moon forecast uses The Wild Unknown tarot deck to understand each element’s Body, Mind and Soul focuses for the moon cycle ahead and suggests the crystals that could help bring you balance.

AIR Signs - Libra, Aquarius, Gemini
Body - Seven of Wands
Competition is a theme in your life right now which is physically affecting you- and it may be for good, bad, or even a bit of both. Perhaps you’re starting to think about your physical health compared to others or some kind of ‘standard’. Maybe you’re under pressure at work and feeling the burn of living up to expectations. Or are you striving to attain a physical goal? The message here is that you’ve GOT this, so try to relax a little, go easy on yourself, soften your stance and don’t beat yourself up so much.
Mind - Nine of Pentacles`
Your long-term prospects are on your mind right now - your job, home, money and resources. What have you got? Is it enough? How can you improve the situation? Think in terms of wealth, not money. Think investment, not fast returns. Building our ‘nests’ can be a life’s work. So, there’s no rush, but equally there’s every reason to plan for the long haul and act with deliberate focus. Stop the ‘drift’ and start to build a pathway towards the prosperity you dream of.
Spirit - Ten of Swords
There’s a toxic relationship in your vicinity which has the potential to infect your usually objective and positive attitude to life. It may be a person you know directly, or someone you keep hearing about second-hand. Either way, identify the source of the bad vibes and surgically remove it from your immediate surrounds. Seriously. This is important. The Ten of Swords denotes that a relationship needs to end, ties severed, losses cut. Be ruthless.

Your Crystal Prescription: Air signs, if there's one stone you need in your life right now it's onyx! Black onyx can help centre your energy and bring you strength and stamina, both physically and emotionally and it's a great help for dealing with stress. Onyx can also help you work through and heal old emotional wounds that may be affecting you in the present and therefore help clear the way for you mentally to focus on your future.
And, as if that isn't reason enough to love it, onyx makes a powerful protection against external negative energy, defending the wearer against people who are manipulative, critical or argumentative. Oh, and it'll go with your entire wardrobe. Win win!

EARTH Signs - Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus
Body - The Sun
Get some sun and chill out! The Universe says so!
Seriously- you’re ready for a trip or a holiday to somewhere sunny, even tropical, and relaxing- and that’s an order. We all need to reboot, to charge up, to refocus… otherwise we can burn out, lose sight of what’s important, and drift down roads which don’t serve us. Holidays, of all kinds, are an opportunity to let our physical body unwind as well as our mind. If you CAN’T get away, then take a mental vacay from your everyday concerns.
Mind - King of Wands
It’s a season for taking risks! The King of Wands is a dynamic character who goes after what he wants with enthusiasm and gusto. He’s all in. Travel, changes, upheavals and bold moves are all in play- now is not a time to think cautiously (as you’re prone to doing) or act hesitantly (ditto). What would you do if you KNEW you couldn’t fail? It’s a cheesey interview kinda’ question, but it’s one the King of Wands is asking you right now. Your answer is the first step towards a different future than you envisaged…
Spirit - Strength
I want you to take a different approach to the things which trouble you this month- the problems and trickinis, the dickheads and no-hopers. Rather than seeing them as a drain on your valuable time and energy, a hindrance to your visions and goals… see them as valuable building blocks of resilience and power. Each challenge exercises your emotional and intellectual muscles. And you’re just getting stronger with every ‘blow’, rather than weakened or thwarted. RUN towards your problems and batter them into submission with your super-powers. Afterwards, feel STRONG. Why? Because you are.

Your Crystal Prescription: This month I'm giving a you a dose of happy, bright energy with a prescription of citrine and carnelian. Citrine is known as 'the success stone' and is said to bring the energy of the sun! Citrine absorbs negativity and turns it into happy, positive, creative energy for you to soak up. Also, since citrine revitalises the mind, like a holiday, if you aren't going anywhere physically, use citrine to bring a dose of mental sunshine to you.
Similarly, carnelian brings bright, creative energy to the wearer as well as strengthening courage and promoting positive life choices and helping relieve fear. With these two high energy stones, this month you'll be unstoppable, earth signs!

FIRE Signs - Leo, Aries, Sagittarius
Body - The Lovers
You’ve been undecided about something relating to your physical health- perhaps it’s whether you need an eye test, if there’s an allergy bothering you which remains undiagnosed, a dietary regime you think would improve your energy, a need (and reluctance) to do more exercise. This is a head vs heart decision and you’ve been dithering. This month, make a firm choice about what you’re going to do differently and then just get on with it. Commit. Invest. And reap the rewards…
Mind - Five of Cups
The Five of Cups comes up when we’re stuck in a moment, staring at the past in some way. Perhaps grieving, perhaps dwelling on a regret, perhaps comparing something to a situation we now view with rose-tinted vision. Whatever it is, consciously drag your gaze away and turn to face the future. Nothing is to be gained from focussing on this old wound. It’s over and it’s time you rationalised the ‘sticky’ emotions you’ve been left with i.e. regret, guilt, anger, shame. Intellectually ‘have a word’ with yourself and shut down this unhelpful reminiscing.
Spirit - Death
You’re undergoing a transformation spiritually, a literal change of heart. It may be about your life goals, priorities, self-beliefs, or thoughts beyond your own existence around politics, humanity and the fate of the planet itself! Crumbs. This is an important chapter for you, and you should release any and all resistance to the new mindset which is evolving within. What you BELIEVE in is changing, and for the better ultimately, even if it feels confusing, troubling or unclear right now. Let things change, roll with it, feel differently.

Your Crystal Prescription: It sounds like you might need something to help relight the fire under your butts and get things moving for you, fire signs, so I'm prescribing emerald. If your stuck or dallying, emerald is the stone to help you move forward. Emerald brings positive action by eliminating negativity and raising consciousness. It can help you to overcome the slings and arrows of life by strengthening your resolve and mental clarity, bringing to the surface that which is unconsciously known and therefore enhancing your own psychic wisdom. Emerald is also associated with deep love and passion, so light a fire of love and let's get things moving!
WATER Signs- Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio
Body - Son of Swords
You’re taking control of matters. Something which has been bothering you, and you’ve felt somewhat of a ‘victim’ over, is going to take a turn for the better. You start to research the issue, arm yourself with knowledge and feel more powerful about your ability to change the course of things. In doing so, your confidence and resilience is boosted and this all snowballs into you feeling 100% better than you have been.
Mind - Five of Swords
Water signs can find it difficult to let go of things- relationships, values, possessions, roles etc. But there IS something which you, rationally and logically, KNOW it’s time to walk away from. Things have become draining, combative, impossible and negative, and I’m here to tell you that it’s time to cut your losses. The only course of action left is to withdraw. There are no ‘winners’ here, simply hollow victories and lost causes. Extricate yourself this month and immediately feel relieved and released.
Spirit - Father of Pentacles
Security and safety is a strong theme in your life and something you need to feel confident about in order to be at your best. This month, examine where in your life you feel ‘wobbly’ and make changes to shore up your defences and foundations there. Finances, insurances, legal contracts and obligations… all the ‘boring’ stuff of life which we can take for granted. Once done, you’ll feel a renewed sense of control and stability and you can get on and enjoy the ‘good’ stuff.

Your Crystal Prescription: Water signs, I feel like you might need a cure all this month so I'm prescribing amethyst! Citrine, opal or tormaline might help you let go of any of the negative things you might be holding on too, but let's turn that energy into love with the help of amethyst, the high priestess of the crystal world. Amethyst will help you feel less scattered, collecting your energy and bringing serenity and calm, but also, if you need some motivation, amethyst can help you to set realistic goals and stimulate your mind when you need it. Amethyst really is an all purpose wonder stone so it's no surprise it's sometimes referred to as the 'All Healer'. If in doubt, amethyst, that's what I say.
