I talked before about days with extra oomph and power. Sometimes those days bring extra oomph to love or family happiness… and sometimes not.
The other really well-aligned and focused day for enchantment this month is next Saturday, and is again a really Saturn focused day. However, this day isn’t about witchy spirit work… it’s about destruction. This isn’t Witch Crone Saturn, this is Saturn who eats His own son. This is the greater malefic and the power of death in motion.
What do we do with a day like that, one where everything aligns ahead of the New Moon to tear things down rather than build them up?
First, realize that these energies are out there for everyone. Which means that we might see acts of destruction happening in the world. You can mitigate against that through prayers of peace and protection as well as emotional self care. Sometimes a day of warm baths, hot tea, and avoiding news is the best magic you can do.
Second, you might lean into the day by directing the energy to things that need to be destroyed. This might be blockages, inefficient or broken structures, harmful situations, abusive relationships, or terrible new ideas. Controlled demolition is better then uncontrolled and sometimes fragile things shouldn’t be endlessly babied (I talk about this in my Risky Business book - it takes way more energy to keep a fragile thing going than to just smash it and move on).
Finally, remember that creation and destruction (life and death) are both parts of the same system and the same cycle. That doesn’t mean we always have to like it, but we do need to accept it. Things need to be destroyed so that other things can grow.
Fortunately there are other days next week for ancestor healing and manifesting love. It’s all in the monthly planner.
Might do an elaborate uncrossing on that Saturn's day
