Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of December 12th

Messenger Mercury’s shift into forward gear on Tuesday should get conversations and communications moving more quickly. New connections that have been caught up in holding patterns may soon be ready for takeoff. Just plan your weekend carefully since efficiency is sexy with the Moon in practical Virgo on Friday and Saturday. The lunar shift into lovely Libra on Sunday morning creates a perfect atmosphere for hanging out with good friends or collaborating on a creative project that makes your heart sing.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing, Aries, but you could raise your expectations beyond reason this weekend. The efficient Virgo Moon is busy working in your 6th House of Service, which can tie you up with minor tasks on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. Bold plans and extravagant promises are more likely to cause complications that result in disappointment. A more modest approach to your social life can lead to sweet little pleasures that warm your heart.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Messages are mixed this weekend with the mood-setting Moon kicking back in your 5th House of Romance on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday, increasing your chances of receiving some love and affection. However, the Moon’s presence in analytical Virgo can provoke criticism that undermines confidence. Recognizing your flaws and striving for self-improvement is an admirable approach, but don’t allow minor matters to get in the way of your fun.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your chatty ruling planet Mercury turns direct in your 7th House of Partners on Tuesday night, enabling communications to flow more easily. Honesty is, of course, a wonderful policy as long as it’s mixed with kindness. But blunt statements from you or others can be hurtful, even if that’s not anyone’s intention. Considering your audience and choosing your words with care can help heal ongoing relationships or get a new one off to a healthy start.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Explaining your feelings isn’t always easy, but could be an essential task this weekend. The logical Virgo Moon visits your 3rd House of Information on Thursday night and stays until Sunday morning, placing a premium on clear communications. If you can focus on one subject at a time, you should be able to untangle emotional knots and overcome misunderstandings. Being completely open about your interests with someone new can lay down a solid foundation that slowly builds the trust you need.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

When it comes to love you’re a gambler who likes to put your heart on the line. However, the Moon is in cautious Virgo and your 2nd House of Self-Worth from Thursday night to Sunday morning, which suggests that you are better off measuring your emotions and controlling how you express them this weekend. Repairing a wounded relationship takes time and attention; building a new one is also more likely to work best with patience that allows passion to grow slowly.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon drops into your analytical sign Thursday night and doesn’t leave until Sunday morning, amplifying emotional tension and casting you in the spotlight. Obviously, you would prefer to avoid the attention when you’re not performing at your best. However, you can learn something important now about how your behavior affects your relationships. Talking through complex issues with loved ones empowers you to make more intelligent decisions about your personal life.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Peace and quiet are more desirable on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday when the Virgo Moon is moving through your ultra-private 12th house. Time spent alone or with one sensitive person in a secret place can provide the comfort that you seek. Bolder behavior is likely on Sunday with a lunar shift into your sociable sign. You’re ready for excitement and might be so bored with the usual routine that you’re the one to shake things up.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Social activities involving friends or colleagues should spice up your life this weekend. The Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Groups enlivens the mood on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday when you’re a valuable part of a team. Connecting with someone special while working for a charitable organization makes for a perfect blend of service and pleasure. However, it’s smart to get your rest, because Sunday could be a wild day as sudden changes of mood provide all the surprises you can handle.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Finding time to enjoy yourself could be challenging this weekend. The hardworking Virgo Moon is highlighting your 10th House of Responsibilities until Sunday morning, loading you down with plenty of obligations. On the plus side, this gives you a wonderful chance to prove what a competent leader you are now. However, don’t promise too much, because earning respect may not sound sexy, but could be a positive step toward obtaining the love you desire.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your interest in unique and unconventional subjects could enhance your relationship life this weekend. The Moon is traveling through detail-oriented Virgo and your 9th House of Learning, enabling you to combine education and entertainment. Whether you’re a student or a teacher, taking in cultural events not only sharpens your mind, but makes you a more desirable companion. Being generous with your knowledge only increases your sex appeal.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The analytical Virgo Moon’s presence in your 8th House of Intimacy can bring you closer with someone special over the weekend. However, there may be some critical little details to be worked out to make this magic happen. Discussing delicate issues requires maturity and a willingness to be precise about your needs. It’s easy to find faults now, but romance flourishes when hard truths are softened with kind words of compassion and forgiveness.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The picky Virgo Moon enters your 7th House of Partnerships on Thursday night to place relationship matters on the front burner most of the weekend. You may be dealing with a critical person, but don’t let tender feelings keep you from facing the facts. You might have to work hard to restore peace to a current alliance or to get off to a good start with someone new. Use common sense to create the safety net that you need for the intimacy that follows.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, December 12th

If some of your pep and dynamism have been restricted as of late, it might be due to the recent Mercury reversal in Sagittarius that has been in effect since November 23. This doesn’t mean Mercury has been a bad or negative celestial influence – only that it hasn’t been moving in the same direction as the Sun and Moon (the two luminaries in the sky). Once Mercury makes its station tomorrow and returns to direct motion, it is easier for your mental interests and communication skills to line up creatively with your overall character (Sun) and personality expression (Moon). Meanwhile, as Mercury slows down in its retrograde cycle today, you want to strive to maintain productivity across the board as the Sun squares Ceres (3:32AM PST). This largest asteroid – Ceres – has much to do with productivity via its affiliations with Mother Nature, agriculture, gardening, food, diet and nutrition. Fortunately, 7 hours after the Sun moves 90-degrees to Ceres, Venus makes a constructive, 60-degree link to Ceres (10:46AM PST) – helping you stay busy and active with favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Hit the scientific, metaphysical and astrological books this evening – courtesy of a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree tie from Jupiter in Taurus to Uranus in Aries (9:24PM PST). Once Jupiter shifts its retrograde energy-field to direct motion on Christmas Day, it will eventually play catch up with Uranus to form another one of these 30-degree links on January 17, 2012. While the 30-degree aspect is considered minor by most astrologers, it still has the power to give you a lift or breakthrough that can change your life for the better.

Monday, December 12, 2011

 
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Nobody will notice your new haircut, which you will find intensely irritating. It’s not as if you always had an irridescent green mohawk, you know?
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Today someone will accuse you of spending too much time with your computer. The way to handle that is to say you’ve got “lots of work to do.” (And don’t let them spot you fondly caressing it.)
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Remember to bring your entrenching tool with you today. You’ll need it. (You know…for the marketing meeting.)
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This is a good day to bake. Cinnamon rolls would be good. Or perhaps some crusty bread. If you follow my advice, you will make friends and influence people. Otherwise a horrifying fate awaits you. No pressure, though. Do what you feel is right for you.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You will have a grilled cheese sandwich today, and a bowl of tomato soup. When nobody is looking you will secretly dunk your sandwich. You never tire of the wild life, do you?
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Good day to call an old friend, and reminisce. (It turns out to be much much harder to reminisce with a new friend.)
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
You will make people squirm, today. Surprisingly, some of them will show remarkable talent at squirming.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
An elderly Chinese gentleman will drop by for a visit. You’ll spend the entire visit in complete silence, except for the occasional clink of a teacup in a saucer.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Your perfume or cologne has too much patchoulli. Only an idiot wears patchoulli. Or a witch. Hmm. Er, never mind. Wear whatever you like. I’m sure it’s quite nice.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
You will discover a secret about the Spice Girls – most of them can’t tell Cumin from Coriander. In fact, some of them are vague about whether Black and Red Pepper come from different types of plants. You will quite sensibly decide to avoid going to their place for dinner.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
What are you looking here, for? You should be on a spaceship, sticking a fish in your ear. It’s not like you didn’t get enough hints. If you are vaporized, it’s your own darned fault, I’d say.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You are being followed by a quiet, rugged man wearing cowboy boots, jeans, a large silver belt-buckle, a faded plaid flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a Carmen Miranda hat. Perhaps you should hurry.

We A Truly Blessed On This Beautiful Monday, dear friends!

Spellcrafting for Monday

 

SPELL AGAINST PSYCHIC ATTACK

When an attack takes place, the Psychic Vampire receives an energy surge while the
victim experiences fatigue. People who “suck” the energy of others are
called “psychic vampires.” This “sucking” takes place when one’s energy is depleted
and needs to be replenished so he or she “sucks” the energy of another person. It is
not unusual for a person who is ill or feeling inadequate emotionally to draw upon or
deplete energized individuals of their life force. These “suckers” are not bad people,
most of them are not aware on a conscious level that they are doing what they are doing.
Still, their unknowing actions can play havoc with anyone who leaves an energetic
opening for this type of thievery. It is important for us to be aware that we may be
susceptible to having our energies stolen from us and learn ways to protect ourselves.
The harm in a psychic attack is that there is no fair exchange of energy and therefore one
feels depleted while the other becomes energized.

 

SYMPTOMS OF PSYCHIC ATTACK

Leaky or diminishing aura dizziness loss of energy muscle tension
mental confusion headaches chronic fatigue sleep disturbances
irritability depressed mood physical illness
You begin to see others or one person receive your wishes and desires on a regular basis.

 

TRAITS OF A PSYCHIC VAMPIRE

Experiences feelings of abandonment or rejection
needs constant reassurance never feels satisfied seeks nurturing
low energy – fatigued Insecurity low self esteem
usually overweight/underweight

 

SPELL FOR PROTECTION AGAINST PSYCHIC ATTACK

Become aware of what individuals deplete your energy and limit your contact with them.
Visualization Techniques – Build walls of protection or create a bubble of light
surrounding your auric field.
Crystal Shields – amulets for protection

 

SPELL TO STRENGTHEN YOUR PSYCHIC SHIELD

The night before the Full Moon, find a place where your altar will not be disturbed for 24 hours.
Put the cauldron in the center with a red candle on the right side, black candle of the
left side, and white candle in the back; but do not light them yet.
Sprinkle a mixture of equal parts of elder blossoms, marjoram, mint and rue in an unbroken
circle around the cauldron. Into a tiny vial, measure equal drops of clove, frankincense,
jasmine, and lavender. Set the sealed bottle in the cauldron and leave until the night
of the Full Moon. On Full Moon night, take a cleansing bathe and robe yourself in white.
Carry a good protective or purification incense through every room in the house.
Make certain that the smoke drifts into closets.
Return to the altar and light the candles. Take up the dagger or sword. Face the
East and raise the sword in salute. To salute in this manner, simply hold the sword
point upward in front of you. Say:
By the power of the rising sun, all evil in my life is done.
Turn to the South, salute, say:
By the power of darkening night, my shield is strong, my armor tight.
Turn to the North, salute, say:
By Full Moon in blackening sky, I am not alone. My help is nigh.
The Goddess’s hands around me stay, To keep me safe by night and day.
Begone, foul spirits, unbidden here. I send you back, I do not fear.
For I have won. I am set free. You have no further power over me.
Face the altar and take up the vial of oil.
Put a drop of oil on your finger and anoint your forehead, heart, solar plexus, wrists and ankles.
As you do this, visualize a shining blue suit of armor slowly descending over your
body until you are entirely protected. Cap the bottle and store in a safe place.
Thank the Powers for their help and extinguish the candles.
Apply the oil and repeat the chants whenever you feel the armor is slipping.

Spell Of The Month

Thin Veil Spell

Best Day To Cast:  December 21st – Yule – Winter Solstice

Color of the Day:  White

Incense of the Day:  Vanilla

The Spell:

The Winter Solstice marks the beginning of the returning light of the Sun. It is the shortest day and longest night. In pre-Celtic Ireland, a wonderful ancient tomb and fairy mound called Brug na Boinne, located near modern Newgrange, contained a passageway which was aligned with the Sun on the Winter Solstice. On this day, sunlight streamed into the back of the sacred site. Like other sacred days, the Winter Solstice is a time when the veil between the worlds is thin, and contact with the Gods may be auspicious. A ritual sleep or vision quest prior to the solstice morning ceremony may bring you visions of what is to grow in your life. Before bed, recite these words inspired by the Scottish “Lullaby of the Snow” until you fall asleep:

Cold, cold this night,
Lasting this night my
sleep.
My eye is closed,
My sleep is heavy,
Bring visions of my soul
to me.
