School of Raq
A day in the life of a witch: Raq (sounds like "rock," and is short for Raquelle) is a music-teacher-turned-witch who offers spiritual help and healing from an all-faith perspective. Each Sunday, they cover topics like the tarot, astrology, holistic music, creativity, and other spiritual practices that can be picked up by anybody from any faith practice. Intersectional, political, and heart-felt, Raq discusses how to navigate spirituality in a society that makes being a human difficult. Come curious; leave transformed.

20: Entering the Aries Portal: Neptune + Saturn in Aries and the Aries Solar Eclipse
EPISODE NOTE: During this episode I briefly talk about many worldwide events that happened during big astrological transits. I made a mistake when discussing the "Kony 2012" film: the film depicted events that were happening in the Uganda, not Rwanda. While editing the episode I noticed the slip up, though I noted it happened in Uganda later in the episode. Just wanted to clarify for anyone wondering :)
In this episode, we talk about huge upcoming Aries transits: the last solar eclipse we'll have in Aries until 2032, Neptune and Saturn ingressing into Aries causing massive societal shifts, as well as their conjunction, which will get within a degree of closeness this year, and go exact in February 2026.
I cover historical themes of both Neptune in Pisces (from 2011-2025) and the last time Neptune in Aries (from the 1860s to the 1870s), setting the stage for where we're coming from (Pisces) and giving an overview of where we might be going (Aries). Then, I give best practices for interfacing with the present moment, how to ground in these uncertain times, and reflect on the sacred invitation of Aries energy.
Happy Equinox and Eclipse season!
