On this bonus episode of the Tarot Coven ‘Cast…
We’re celebrating the Winter Solstice and the beginning of Yule, by talking all about the Zodiac sign Capricorn, and the Celtic Tree sign Birch. This episode walks you through all the fundamentals of both signs, and how you can harness their energies in practical ways during the season.
Want to know why Jasmin thinks the mullet might make a good archetype for Capricorn? Or why Birch is considered “steadfast feminine energy” and what that even really means? (Hint: it’s got nothing to do with gender!) Then you won’t want to miss this episode!
Below you’ll find the link to our handy dandy Astro cheat sheet for these signs. Happy Capricorn and Birch Season! Keep making magick!
