And have you left yourself extra time for travel delays? If this energy has you feeling out of sorts, don’t despair, use this time to reconnect with your magical practice. Find the rituals that ground you, slow down, and trust that there are gifts hidden amidst the turbulence. In the meantime, buckle up and enjoy the ride!
