Kin Euphorics

The Future of Revelry

So like anyone, I love a good cocktail (the ones I’ve posted here through Sagittarius and Capricorn season can attest to that!) but I also really don’t drink that much these days.

I can’t recover from alcohol the way I used to, and with my migraines, sometimes alcohol can be a trigger. So imagine my INSANE EXCITEMENT to stumble across Kin Euphorics! They present themselves as “The Future of Revelry” and from their branding (logo, packaging) to their advertising (moody, emotional, yet high-brow and intellectual-feeling), to their actual product (Kin is cruelty and alcohol-free, and is packed with mood-altering and enhancing adaptogens that “elevate the spirit and relax the body”) and let me tell you folks… it’s seems like it, but it’s not too good to be TRUE!

With three offerings, Kin Spritz (an easy-to-drink carbonated euphoric), High Rhode (their version of the Aperitif) and Dream Light (a relaxing night cap kind of drink) you’ll find something that will make you feel good, while tasting awesome and leaving no after effects in the morning.

If you’ve followed my Wellness posts, you know how into Adaptogens I am, and Kin uses these stress-reducing, nervous-system altering, natural mood adjusters in their recipes. Wow, right!?

Kin Spritz is my go-to, just pop and pour! It’s bubbly, not too sweet and easy to drink! I’m a huge fan and I only need one to feel relaxed, happy and like there’s not a care in the world.

High Rhode and Dream light require you to do a little mixing, but using flavored seltzer, or plain seltzer and fresh organic juice is about as complicated as you need to get! These bottles come with mixing recipes included so it takes the guess work out of it for you! I used blood orange seltzer for High Rhode and it was perfect! Added a little sprig of Rosemary as garnish and voila – Easy-peasy!

The box even came with a candle and “The Kindling Kit” a deck with 31 cards that outline meditations, provide thought-provoking questions and recipes. It’s so well packaged and presented, I really couldn’t ask for more… Well, maybe for them to keep it in stock! The Spritz is currently Sold Out (!!!) but I’d advise you get on the “Notify Me” list immediately!

The fact that we’re moving into a time where we don’t have to compromise having a fun evening, being able to imbibe and relax but without sacrificing our health, or even our complexion (alcohol is one of the main contributors to premature aging) and most importantly, not feel the after effects of a night with friends …. to actually “have it all” and be able to work and/or parent the next day!? Well, I say “Cheers!” to that!

✨So many new faces!!✨ I wanted to take a minu ✨So many new faces!!✨

I wanted to take a minute to say Heya and I’m SO happy you’re here!💕

I’m Rebecca - a Libra ☀️Aries🌛and Scorpio 👆🏻

Do we have any astrology twins out there!? Share your Sun ☀️ Moon 🌛 and Rising 👆🏻 below and see if you can find your twin! 🥰 

I know there are some close ones but is anyone TRULY mine!? 😉

✨I’m an astrologer, mama to four, stepmom to one, wife, certified yoga instructor, kirtan enthusiast, lover of country music, jewelry addict, and am currently down the rabbit hole of holistic face care (gua sha and facial cupping anyone!? If so follow @britta_beauty - she’ll blow your mind!)😜

💫I created this space to share my love and knowledge of astrology, my insights on parenting kids spanning a 13 year age gap (our oldest is 15, youngest is 2!) and to make some of the hooey-gooey-ness of astrology and spirituality more accessible and practical for every day.☺️👍🏻

✨Thrilled to have you beautiful souls here - I hope I can encourage you to see yourselves as you are: divinely timed, essentially equipped and fully capable of rocking the hell out of this human experience we’re so fortunate to have! 🙌🏻✨💕

Don’t forget to drop your ☀️🌛👆🏻 and see if you can find your 💫👯‍♀️!

✨Sun squares Mars today✨ INTENSE energy!!! Bu ✨Sun squares Mars today✨

INTENSE energy!!! Burn it out folks 🔥🔥🔥

May I suggest exercise, dancing, maybe screaming into a pillow!? 😂🤬

This energy is quick, but can lead to irritability, frustration and a short temper. The best way around it, is to recognize where it’s coming from, and channel it so it doesn’t wind up coming out at an inopportune time. 😳

Be patient with yourself and others today - we’re all operating on a slightly shorter fuse than usual. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

This is an ego-centric transit, so any practices you can employ to put the ego in the seat of the observer and work from a place of non-judgement will be helpful. Try to transcend and take the high road when you can today. If you can’t, 🤷🏻‍♀️ be forgiving. ✨

✨Today is Imbolc - the halfway point between Win ✨Today is Imbolc - the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Solstice.✨

Symbolically, this midway point is a time-marker⏳; a point at which the days get brighter and we can feel the beginning of Spring coming (or,
at least, that’s the idea... we just got a foot of snow ❄️ where I am!😂)

I feel Imbolc as a more inner, cyclical experience, that signals our bodies to rise into a different expression of activity.💫

Many focus on the goddess Brighid, and her many aspects as a deity of fire, home, hearth and fertility.

🔥 focused breathing, baking, cooking, intuitive movement and womb work are especially welcomed during this transition.💕

✨There are beautiful rituals for Imbolc (I prefer the 7 candle Candlemas ritual - this can be found easily online.) I keep it simple and use tea lights:

🕯🕯🕯🕯several candles can be assigned to represent bringing and keeping the light that emerges as winter finally comes to an end. 
🕯Another can represent the purifying warmth of the hearth.
🕯Another can be symbolic of the barrier between the positive and negative in your life; a boundary of sorts between our world and the next. 
🕯Another stands in for the magic of wisdom and inspiration, and for the light that comes into our lives when we experience love.❤️

After lighting I write my spring intentions by their light. ✍🏼

You can also set up a spring altar including stones, plants and renewed intentions for the season.🌱🌸

You can include your kids with the Candlemas, or in making a crown for Brighid, which you can use as a wreath.🍃🌸

Or you can make a beeswax candle imbued with your spring intentions (recipe for this is on the blog!)✨

Whether you mark the occasion or not, wishing you a beautiful Imbolc 💐🌾🌸 I’ll do a Tarot spread later to mark the occasion ☺️

✨It’s February and Venus is on the move! Tomor ✨It’s February and Venus is on the move! Tomorrow she slides on into the ever-crowded Aquarius ♒️ bringing an intellectual, eccentric and quirky breath of fresh air to the planet of love and beauty!✨

Venus in Aquarius is tender, offering us a new way to look at love, being loved, what we consider beautiful and even how we relate to our finances. 💕

Be careful not to over-analyze in this compartmentalized sign, where the emotions can often be separated or detached and over-thought.💭🤔

It is a time to express yourself completely and freely to those you love, and to jump in to any creative endeavors you might have considered too offbeat or out-of-the-box before now (even when it comes to your finances - more on that in another post!)🌟

As for how we may be wanting to connect with those we love? More cerebrally 🤓 - intellectual connection will feel valuable, exciting and intimate. 💕 Out-there topics will most likely be on the table!😆

You may find yourself seeking new, unique experiences, perhaps with your partner, or with friends - SO hard in COVID times, BUT there are safe ways to find novel experiences in this environment.✨

May I suggest @the_skindeep if you’re looking for a TRULY Venusian-Aquarian COVID Isolation Valentine’s Day activity. 😂

It hits all the spots 💕✨😉

✨We’re gearing up for a snow storm in our neck ✨We’re gearing up for a snow storm in our neck of the woods, and all it makes me dream of is skiing ⛷ 🎿 😂✨

It’s been a while since we’ve been on the slopes; COVID has dashed our dreams since last spring - looks like it will continue to be the case. But we can dream! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤪

While some things feel stagnant, there are so many other things shifting, adjusting and opening...🤲🏻

Venus, our planet of LOVE 💕is busy and on the move in the weeks ahead of Valentine’s Day.

I’ll give more information on each dynamic as we cross the days, but here’s an overview. Expect affects around the who, how and what you love and the way you express and communicate affection.❤️

🌟 Feb 1 - Venus enters Aquarius and Sun squares Mars

🌟Feb 6 - Venus conjuncts Saturn and Squares Uranus

🌟 Feb 8 - Venus conjuncts Mercury 

Love is in the air, and we’ll have opportunities to evaluate the way we’re interacting with our loves, family, communities and passion. 💕

I’ll be posting the last elemental Venus placement (in water 🌊) - if you haven’t been following, check in on Astro.com and look for your elemental breakdown to see which element your Venus falls under to get a general sense of how you express this placement. (Directions save in highlights under Elements!)✨

#venus #valentinesday #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #astrologersoninstagram #venusinaquarius #venusintheelements
✨Venus in Fire 🔥 ✨ Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagi ✨Venus in Fire 🔥 ✨

Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius 
Houses: 1st, 5th, 9th

Venus in 🔥 folks have a lot of passion! They know what they want - that’s for sure! While Venus is not exalted in the Fire signs, I find that folks with these placements love wildly and with abandon and have some of the most passionate (but maybe not well-thought-out) romances ever!😍 

But when it comes to being swept off your feet, since when does planning sound romantic!? 🤣

Venus in 🔥 love openly, inclusively and demonstrably - never afraid to express their feelings or affection... or to end things if they feel like it’s not what they need. ❤️💔

To make a Venus in 🔥 person feel safe, loved and appreciated, be sure to value their outward gestures - their openness is a large part of their expression. Most need some freedom too, and validation in one form or another.🌟

Venus in 🔥 never minds getting into a tussle now and then; conflict is an opportunity to come closer, create friction and well... make up!🤣

Venus in Aries ♈️ (and in the 1st house) may be a little immature and self focused (perhaps not the best planners or the most romantic overall) but they’ll always be up for adventures and sharing experiences - they’re up for all things new and exciting. Plus, they’re fiercely loyal and protective over those who have their heart. ❤️ 

Fire in Leo ♌️ (or the 5th house) carry a playful energy and like to be adored, taken care of and given attention in *all* the ways (and given gifts 🎁 of course!) But they’ll give the same way in return; you’ll never find a better gift giver than a Venus in Leo - they are incredibly thoughtful and generous. Loyal and protective too!🦁

They say a Venus in Sagittarius ♐️ might be hard to pin down 🤷🏻‍♀️😳 but their need for adventure and freedom is oftentimes the *perfect* pairing for someone who is also independent, secure and wants new (shared) experiences. Expect travel and trying new things to be a part of spending time with a Venus in Sag. ✈️🛳🚆

Venus in 🔥 in an exciting way to experience another person.

PLEASE remember this is only ONE placement of many and doesn’t determine entirely how good of a partner or match someone will be!😉
✨Saturdays are for tea parties! Or in my case, c ✨Saturdays are for tea parties! Or in my case, coffee ... lots of coffee! Are coffee parties a thing? If not, can we make it one!?😆☕️🥳✨

Happy weekend everyone - hope you’re all enjoying some family/rest/self-care time.💕

The moon is in Virgo... and Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which just went retrograde.😳

I started the day feeling restless, like I should be cleaning, organizing while at the same time like I couldn’t seem to get anything done... 😫 

SO I made the decision to let it go and just be.🙏🏻

I brought myself into my body, the moment - grounding into the earthiness of the placement and decided not be so hard on myself. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The headache I was having wasn’t any fun either!🤣

How are you all feeling today!? Drop a note 👇🏼

✨Hold on to your booties, folks! Mercury goes Rx ✨Hold on to your booties, folks! Mercury goes Rx tomorrow!! 😳 and the pre-shadow has been a litttle bumpy for some already!✨

Mercury is in Aquarius for this, the first of 3 rounds in 2021... ugh, doesn’t it feel like Mercury was *just* Rx!?🤪

In this fixed sign it’s going to be an easier ride than in some of the other signs (Mercury loves an air sign!) ♒️

We may feel emboldened to speak out in a more unique way, or express/communicate artistically in a more forward-thinking way... this is the sign of futuristic endeavors, and this may bring some of these processes to the surface.🙌🏻

There will be a collective vibe, so we may find ourselves revisiting, revising and reviewing things that fall into the humanitarian, altruistic and social/common cause realm.🤝

🌟Are we surrounding ourselves with the right kinds of people?

🌟Are we standing up for and advocating for the right causes?

Social, racial, economic and political endeavors that address the greater good will likely come to the forefront during Mercury’s Rx and give us an opportunity to see how we’ve progressed and how we’ve stalled, and maybe, with the forward-thinking of this sign, how we can adjust. 🤔

Social communication with a broad and diverse group of people is theoretically tailor-made for this period of time, and socially distanced technology is key - so as long as we’re double checking our internet connections and making sure our batteries are charged and being extra careful about logging off before we add our 2 cents about the boss’s presentation 😳😬 we should do just fine!🤣

I mean, with all the tech and its involvement with our socialization, this retrograde in ♒️ could be the ultimate test of how truly dedicated we are to maintaining our distanced relationships!

Mercury will form some positive aspects during its Rx.

End of the 1st week in Feb the ☀️ and Mercury will join up giving us a boost in our mental energy, clarity and confidence!

Mercury and Venus will align the day before Valentine’s Day connecting our minds with our hearts, you could say!💕 

ON Valentine’s Day Jupiter and Mercury will team up to give an expansive and optimistic overlay to our thoughts!💭
