Emporiblog - The Grand Alignment

-
Hello all! We have something a little different for you today and it's a little out of my comfort zone so bare with me. If you're an Astrology Witch, mark your calendar! So, let's get into the most confusing thing I've ever had to research.....


What Is The Grand Alignment?

The Grand Alignment is an astrological where 6 or 7 planets appear in a curve or line in the sky at the same time 


What Is A Planetary Alignment And How Do They Happen?

A planetary alignment or planetary parade occurs when multiple planets appear in the sky at the same time. While it sounds like a rare event, planetary parades are actually quite common due to something called the ecliptic. This ecliptic is an invisible, ever so slightly curved line that comes from the light the Sun traces across the sky during the day. We have an ecliptic due to how the planets in our solar system formed from the gas and dust that was once around our young Sun

Because of this, all of the planets in our solar system (Earth and Pluto included - I don't care what astronomers say, in this house Pluto is still a planet) will eventually crossover into the same orbital plane which allows them to come into the ecliptic line 


When Is The Grand Alignment?

According to the internet, it will happen on the 28th of February in most locations (list for other locations at the bottom), which also happens to be the New Moon. 

7 planets will appear in the sky. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars will be visible to the naked eye. You'll need binoculars or possibly a telescope to see Uranus (insert joke here) and Neptune. Saturn on the other hand, may be a bit tricky to spot due to its position to the Sun so you may have to do some calculations depending on your exact geographical position to see it. The best time to start looking is right as the Sun starts to set 


What To Look Out For + Extra Astrology 

The planets should appear on the following order and constellations:

Mars - Will be a reddish colour. Highest in the alignment. Will be in Gemini ♊ 

Jupiter - Second brightest. Will be in Taurus ♉ 

Uranus - Will be in Aries ♈ but will also border Taurus 

Venus - The brightest planet. Will be in Pisces ♓ 

Neptune - The faintest planet in the alignment. Will also be in Pisces ♓ 

Mercury - Close to the Sun so may be hard to find. Will be in Aquarius ♒ 

Saturn - Is a sort of golden colour. The hardest to find in the alignment. Will also be in Aquarius ♒

Emporiblog - Which Witch Closed Edition - Draconic

-
Image
Hello all!! Today we're returning to our Which Witch Closed Edition series and kicking off our Dragon series!! DISCLAIMER: This is a closed practices and cannot be practiced by everyone, including myself! I have done my best to research as much as possible but since I cannot practice this, resources are limited. Draconic Witchcraft centers around Dragons and not necessarily the ones you've seen on TV and in books. Dragons are completely separate entities and working with them isn't for the faint of heart or something that just anyone can do as Dragons are very picky and secretive when it comes to working with people. Draconic Witchcraft is a closed practice but not for the same reasons as our previous practices, it's not tied to a specific ethnicity, place of origin or bloodline; it is closed because you can only become a Draconic Witch with the following 2 requirements: - The Dragons choose you - You must be able to read energy As I stated before, Dragons ...

Ancestral Work (part 1 )

 Ancestral Communication and Work. Hi Guys, It's me again, as this is work that I have been actively doing, and Cat and I agreed that I would do this post for you. It seems to fit in well with the season. We have discussed this subject briefly in some other posts, such as Vivianite  (just use the search function and input ancestors or spirit work, and you will find the posts to read whichever ones shout at you, as there are too many mentions to put them in here). We discussed communication with spirits in a previous post but this is a lot more specific as it deals with our own flesh and blood. I do have a qualification in Ancestral Healing, so this is a precursor to any more in-depth posts that we may do in the future if you want them. The pic above is one I took recently when I felt the call to tend to the graves of my nan, and her mum, whose headstone is pictured above. As with a lot of practices, you can be as elaborate or as basic as you need.       ...

Earthing

(Photo Credit: Kerenza Jinks) Earthing Although many people see grounding and earthing as the same thing, I do not.  Allow me to elaborate. To me, grounding is a spiritual thing, whereas earthing is a physical one. Although, both can be practiced together. Yes, I'm confused too. I have confused myself!! So, I will try and explain what I see as the difference. Our post on grounding is here . To me, grounding is a practice of getting rid of unwanted energy, it helps me when I feel anxious, overwhelmed or am overthinking. Yes, I go outside to do this quite often, but that is not a necessary practice. I can also meditate to achieve this   Grounding meditation on YouTube . Essentially, grounding helps calm me down, whereas Earthing gives me energy. In walking barefoot on the ground, I feel that I can draw up energy from the Earth herself, and this can be enough to allow me to face a busy day with positivity. Basically, I Earth to feel more energetic, and ground to rid myself of unw...
