New Moon, New Mirror: Embracing Self-Love & Surrender Under the Pisces Moon

Each step along the path of the Priestess is one of devotion, transformation, and sacred witnessing. To walk this path is to weave between the seen and unseen, holding space for mystery while remaining rooted in the present. 

This journey is not about titles or performance. It is about embodiment—a continual unfolding of wisdom, power, and service. 

As I step more fully into this work, I reflect on what it truly means to live as a Priestess in the modern world.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the interplay between my artistry, my spiritual path, and the deep-rooted patterns that shape how I perceive myself. It has become clear that external validation, while gratifying, has often acted as a crutch—a way to reassure myself of my worth rather than something I truly believe in from within.

As I navigate this upcoming Venus Retrograde, I am being asked to redefine love, beauty, and self-worth.

Venus Retrograde

Venus Retrograde is often seen as a time of reflection, realignment, and renewal in love, beauty, and self-worth. For those of us walking the Priestess path, this period invites a deeper exploration of our magic—not just as a tool for external enchantment but as a transformative practice of self-love, sovereignty, and empowerment.

I’ve come to understand that magic is deeply intertwined with self-perception. I have spent so much time refining my craft, pouring my essence into music, ritual, and storytelling, yet I have often hesitated to claim the full power of my presence. The idea that my work only has value when others affirm it is a distortion; an old wound that Venus is gently (and sometimes forcefully) urging me to release.

This realization has led me to experiment with glamour magic—not in a superficial sense of vanity, but as a form of self-reclamation.

The Power of Glamour Magic

Glamour, at its core, is the art of shaping perception. It is a bridge between how we see ourselves and how we present ourselves to the world. It is the merging of our inner truth with our outer expression.

Glamour magic is more than just beauty spells or confidence rituals; it is the art of embodying energy so potent that it influences perception—our own and that of others. It is about stepping into our power, reclaiming our radiance, and using our presence to express our divine essence.

During the shadow of this Venus Retrograde and the darkness preceding the New Moon, I find myself drawn to the reflective nature of glamour magic. It isn’t about concealing, but revealing. 

Instead of seeing beauty as an external ideal, I worked with it as a frequency—one I could attune to through my rituals, adornments, and self-care.

I recently created a sigil to anchor this transformation—a visual spell infused with my intention to embody my own radiance without waiting for permission. 

Looking at it, I am reminded that my presence is inherently powerful. 

That my art is sacred. 

That my devotion to my path is enough.

The Journey of Self-Love

This journey of self-love is not about seeking approval but about becoming my own greatest advocate. It is about treating my creations—whether music, ritual, or writing—not as offerings that need validation but as sacred expressions of my being.

The balance between my music and my priestess work is shifting, but rather than forcing clarity, I am learning to trust the unfolding. Perhaps they are not separate at all. 

Perhaps my music has always been a spell; a form of devotion, a bridge between worlds. 

Perhaps my Priestesshood is not solely about guiding others but about reclaiming my own magic.

Venus is teaching me that self-love is not passive.

It is an act of creation. It is a ritual. It is art. 

And it is mine to claim.

Affirmations for the New Moon

Here are some affirmations for the New Moon in the spirit of self-love and reclaiming power while we each undergo our personal transformations during the upcoming Venus Retrograde.

• I trust the unfolding of my journey, knowing that divine wisdom guides me.

• My intuition is a sacred gift, and I allow it to lead me with clarity and grace.

• I release what no longer serves me and open my heart to infinite possibilities.

• I am deeply connected to the cosmic currents of magic, healing, and transformation.

• My dreams are valid, sacred, and worthy of manifestation.

Have you experienced Venus Retrograde revealing profound truths about your self-worth or artistry? 

How do you incorporate glamour magic or self-love into your spiritual practice? 

The Path Ahead

As I continue this path, I hold space for evolution. There is no fixed destination - only the ever-deepening spiral of understanding and connection. 

I am called to share this work more openly—to guide, teach, and create spaces where others may find their way into the sacred. 

Yet, even as I offer my voice, I remain a student of these mysteries. To be a Priestess is to listen as much as it is to speak, to hold space for the unknown, and to trust in the unfolding. I do not know exactly where this journey will lead, but I walk forward with open hands and an open heart.

Blessed New Moon in Pisces and Venus Retrograde in Aries to you. May these transits guide you to embrace your deepest dreams, reclaim your radiance, and weave magic into every step of your journey.

Blessed be.
