"Oct 31st: ALL HALLOW'S EVE" By Maf R

 Many cultures (Ancients Celts, Wiccans, Pagans and more) celebrate Samhain.

There are different names but every celebration encapsules the essence of this holiday: The Day of the Death, endings, fall…

Many cultures imply the death could blend with the living world because the Veil between the Living and the Death is at its thinnes.

That’s why many make offerings or altars to honor these souls or spirits.

It is not only a day to go trick or treating but to reflect on what has ended and its changing…


From an Astrological Point of View this holiday falls in the Season of Scorpio: the Magician, explorer of the Occult and alchemist by nature. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

The Ancients were wise because they knew their World and its cycles.


The Celts celebrated it to welcome the early new year. They made bonfires as offerings… The time for harvest had started and there was the insecurity and fear of not knowing if food would last all winter…

Nowadays we have everything to overcome this, showing how much we have “evolved”, but do we still have that innate knowledge and connection to the cycles of Earth? Or have we forgotten it? It’s just something to meditate on.


In the Astrological Calendar each sign represents the different stages of the seasons and Scorpio represents the splendor of Autumn where things get rotten and in consequence they die. 

Alchemy, transformation, magic and change…

Happy Samhain to all!

New Moon in Capricorn 2026

  Today, January 18th, 2026, is the New Moon in the sign of Capricorn. This is a Moon in which you can decide clearly and objectively, it makes you emotionally “cold” even though underneath you feel everything. It is also very productive because several planets and luminaries are together: the Moon, Mercury, Mars, and the Sun in the sign of Capricorn, with Venus and Pluto in the sign of Aquarius joining in. All of this can be translated as follows: the sky opens the space for you to coldly analyze your emotions, your image, your actions, the value you give yourself and others, and where you are going. It allows many things you resist to come to light, which gives you much greater clarity, and the “lesson” can be very beneficial. There are also opportunities to make what you desire more concrete, ideas for acquiring financial gains, but everything requires planning and concrete action. On the other hand, you may feel extremely stirred up, uncomfortable, ignoring what you feel, proud...

MABON EQUINOCCIO DE OTOÑO 2026

Image
    Antiguamente las civilizaciones se guiaban por los ciclos de la Naturaleza y la Astrología es completamente cíclica. Mabon o el Equinoccio de Otoño que ocurre este año el 24 de septiembre marca el comienzo del paso del Sol por el signo zodiacal Libra y es una de las cuatro fiestas Solares que hay en el año. Libra es el OMEGA, marca el comienzo de la época en la que hojas y frutos se caen y es el inicio de la marchitación por eso se le llama la época de la Cosecha. Los griegos relacionaban a Perséfone con Libra, y en el mito cuentan como a causa de ella hay una escasez en las cosechas cuando es llevada al inframundo, 6 meses permanece afuera y los otros 6 meses abajo. Marca perfectamente la precisión equinoccial. Notarás que las noches empezarán a ser más largas que el día. ¿Y cómo celebrar Mabon o el Equinoccio de Otoño? Puedes revisar aquello que lograste en este año y proyectar lo que deseas para el próximo. También es un buen tiempo para tomar las cos...
