The truth that’s been whispering at you
Sagittarius moon clarity → not subtle.
Sagittarius moons always tell the truth. (Even the inconvenient ones.)
This weekend, something in you is going to want to stretch: a belief, a desire, a direction you’ve been keeping in the “later” pile.
Don’t force action.
Just give the rare truth the space to speak.
Because Sunday brings a rare thing.
A Full Moon in Sagittarius on the last day of May. The second full moon of the month, which makes it a Blue Moon. The kind of lunation that only comes around every few years. The kind that doesn't let you stay small or vague about what you actually want.
But today is the breath before it.
The Waxing Gibbous moon is almost full, building toward completion. Tonight into tomorrow, the moon makes a warm trine to Jupiter in Cancer. This is one of the most expansive, generous transits available to us. You can already feel it gathering. It's the sky saying: you're allowed to want more. You're allowed to feel hopeful. You're allowed to let something good be coming.
And Sunday morning, the moon moves into Sagittarius. This energy is direction, expansion, truth-telling, and fire. Not the fire that burns everything down, but the fire that lights the way.
So tonight or tomorrow, before the moon peaks, let's make room for what's arriving.
✨ SPELL
This ritual isn’t about belief. It’s about repair.
Capitalism has broken your relationship to time—flattened your rhythms, punished your rest, and convinced you every moment must be productive.
The moon disagrees.
Each new and full moon, I’ll hand you a small ritual. Not to “manifest” or optimize, but to reattune your body to a different pace. One that honors cycles, not calendars.
Pay attention to the moon. It’s not aesthetic—it’s antidote.
Sagittarius Fire Sip
Supplies:
A warm drink (tea, coffee, whatever feels grounding)
A candle
Steps:
Light your candle.
Hold your warm mug with both hands.
Ask yourself: What truth is ready to be named without being acted on?
Sip slowly while you listen.
When you’re done, blow out the candle with intention: I honor what arrives.
This is truth-telling without pressure.
✊ HEX
You don’t need a rundown of the headlines. You’re living them. Whether you’re in the U.S. or just suffering under its ripple effects, the harm is real—and relentless.
This isn’t catharsis. It’s counter-spell.
Each HEX is a ritual of refusal—a channel for holy rage, spiritual disruption, and deliberate, directed dissent.
Here’s who we’re targeting. And what to do about it.
The Same System
This week gave us two stories from opposite sides of the Atlantic that are, at their core, the same story.
In Fordingbridge, England, three teenage boys were convicted of raping two girls — one fourteen, one fifteen. The attacks were filmed. One girl was threatened with a knife. One had her phone taken so she couldn't be tracked. One was raped for ninety minutes in an underpass and a video of the brutality was shared on social media.
The boys received community rehabilitation orders. No prison time. They walked out of court.
The outcry was immediate and nationwide. The Prime Minister called the sentencing "distressing" and "appalling." One of the victims said the judge's decision made it seem their crimes were acceptable because they were children.
Because they were children.
Not because of what they did to the children they attacked.
To be clear, as a generality, I don’t necessarily believe children should be tried as adults. And also, this is the same type of argument that got Brock Turner a slap on the wrist.
Now hold that logic alongside what is happening in the United States this week.
In South Carolina, legislators are advancing H. 3537, the Prenatal Equal Protection Act. This bill defines personhood as beginning at the moment of fertilization; the moment a sperm and egg fuse in the fallopian tube, days before any implantation, days before any pregnancy can be said to exist in any medically meaningful sense.
Under this bill, a woman with an IUD could be charged with homicide.
Not because IUDs cause abortions. They don't. IUDs work primarily by preventing fertilization. But their secondary mechanism can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall. Under this bill's logic, that is murder. The child-victim statutory aggravator in South Carolina law would apply. And under South Carolina law, when a statutory aggravator applies, a jury can impose the death penalty.
A woman could be executed for using birth control.
And IVF, the procedure that Trump has called himself the “father” of and the "fertilization president" for supporting, would become functionally impossible under this framework.
Here is why: IVF requires creating multiple embryos. Some are transferred. Some are frozen. Some do not survive the process. That is not a flaw in the procedure. That is the procedure. It is how babies are born to people who cannot conceive otherwise. And it’s often what happens inside a body with no evidence. Eggs that are fertilized but not viable just don’t survive. They don’t become pregnancies, or the pregnancies terminate on their own very early on, which can go completely unnoticed. It’s not always a lived experience of miscarriage.
Under personhood-from-fertilization logic, every embryo that does not survive an IVF cycle is a death. Every fertility clinic becomes a potential crime scene. Every doctor who has ever helped someone have a baby through IVF becomes potentially liable for homicide.
We know this is not hypothetical. In February 2024, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen IVF embryos were children under state law. Fertility clinics immediately halted services. Patients in active treatment cycles were abandoned mid-process. The state legislature had to pass emergency immunity legislation just to allow IVF to resume.
That is the preview. South Carolina is proposing to make it permanent, without even asking voters.
In North Carolina, legislators are advancing House Bill 1232, which is a proposed state constitutional amendment that, if approved by the legislature, would go to voters on the November 2026 ballot. Voters would be asked whether human life begins at fertilization and is entitled to legal protection from that moment forward.
Here is where your attention matters:
The ballot language will be everything. If it is confusing (and these things are designed to be confusing), people will not understand that a yes vote could criminalize IUDs, emergency contraception, and IVF. They will not understand that a miscarriage could become a criminal investigation. They will not understand that a woman's body becomes, under this framework, a crime scene the moment a sperm and egg meet.
They’re saying this stuff is unlikely to go anywhere, so we shouldn’t pay much attention to it. They also said Roe was the law of the land.
And the man who calls himself the fertilization president has not said a word about any of it.
This is not two isolated states acting alone. This is a coordinated national strategy. In 2025 alone, at least 37 bills with personhood language were introduced in 19 states. In the first weeks of 2026, Missouri introduced similar legislation. Multiple other states have pre-filed bills ready to go. South Carolina and North Carolina are not outliers. They are the vanguard.
The legislators advancing these bills either do not understand how human reproduction works, or they understand perfectly and do not care. Because the biology was never the point.
The point is control.
And here is the throughline between a courtroom in Hampshire and statehouses in Columbia and Raleigh:
In Hampshire, the system looked at two girls who were raped, filmed, and threatened at knifepoint, and decided that the futures of the boys who did it mattered more.
In South Carolina and North Carolina, the system is looking at women who use contraception, who need IVF, and who have miscarriages, and deciding that a fertilized cell — one that the woman's own body has a more than fifty percent chance of naturally expelling without ever knowing it existed — matters more than her life.
The same calculus. The same hierarchy. The same answer to the question of whose body counts.
Not hers. Never hers.
This is not a bug. This is the architecture.
A system that grants more legal protection to a fertilized egg than to a fourteen-year-old girl who was raped at knifepoint is not a system that has gotten confused.
It is a system that has made a choice.
It has decided, consistently, across centuries and continents and courtrooms and statehouses, that female bodies exist to be acted upon… by men who want them, by legislators who want to control them, by judges who weigh the futures of rapists against the traumatized futures of the raped and find the math comes out in favor of the boys.
So today, we hex the whole system.
We hex the sentencing logic that treats youth as mitigation for the perpetrator and irrelevant for the victim. We hex H. 3537 and every legislator in South Carolina who is advancing a bill that could execute a woman for her birth control and shut down every fertility clinic in the state. We hex House Bill 1232 and the ballot language that will be designed to obscure what a yes vote actually means. We hex the coordinated national strategy that is introducing this legislation in 19 states simultaneously and calling it protection. We hex the scientific illiteracy that is used as cover for ideological control. We hex the hypocrisy of a president who calls himself the fertilization president while his movement dismantles the only medical procedure that makes fertilization possible for millions of people. We hex every courtroom that has ever looked at a girl's trauma and decided someone else's future mattered more. We hex the hierarchy that answers the question of whose body counts with “not hers.”
And we name what we are building instead:
A world where a fourteen-year-old girl's body is treated as more sacred than the inconvenience of holding her attackers accountable. A world where a woman's relationship to her own reproduction is not a capital offense. A world where IVF is protected because the people who need it are people, and their desire to have children is real and valid and not subject to legislative interference. A world where the law asks first: what happened to her, not what will happen to him.
That world is possible. It has existed. It will exist again.
But not while we stay quiet about this.
When a system consistently values the futures of perpetrators over the bodies of victims, that is not an error in the system. That is the system.
Name it. Hex it. Build something else.
📞 Action
South Carolina: Contact your state legislators at scstatehouse.gov and demand they oppose H. 3537. If it passes, it becomes law without a public vote. There is no ballot safety net.
North Carolina: Contact your state legislators at ncleg.gov and demand they oppose House Bill 1232. If it makes the ballot, pay close attention to the language. Share it widely. Make sure people understand what a yes vote actually means for IUDs, IVF, and miscarriage.
Everywhere: Call the US Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and demand your federal senators support federal contraception and IVF protection legislation.
See you in the next breath,
