Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, November 19th

Our heads and hearts may be in conflict today as the conceptual Aquarius Moon prompts us to detach from our feelings and act rationally. But it’s hard to ignore our gut instincts as intelligent Mercury aspects passionate Pluto. Our emotions have a sense of urgency now; it can even seem like we’re in survival mode. Nevertheless, the Moon’s stressful square to retrograde Mercury makes communication difficult by clouding our logic with our desires.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may believe that gathering more information is a smart idea today, but additional data won’t help you make a better decision. Usually, compiling more facts enables you to easily choose an effective course of action. But now, it seems like they just get in your way. Even if it feels as if you can’t start until you understand everything, you probably already know enough to get the ball rolling.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your career objectives may have been clear in your own mind, but that was before you set your plan into motion. Now it might appear that you’ve made the situation worse. Unfortunately, the harder you push today, the more you could damage your own potential for success. Luckily, everything could work out for the best if you ease off a bit while you reconsider how to reach your goal. You have more time than you think to plan your next move.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Challenging circumstances might prevent you from being clear about your direction today, making you feel as if you just want to retreat. Unfortunately, this is not a great time to give up on your dreams. Instead, be as clever as you can, think it all through and create a new and improved plan. Thankfully, you’ll be more prepared to overcome the obstacles in your path once you take the time to re-evaluate your options.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may not understand why everything isn’t going your way today, but you might be jumping to the wrong conclusions. Whatever seems to be problematic now can actually work out for the best later on. Instead of letting your bad mood color current events, stay as objective as possible. Remember, your words impact others more than you realize, so hold your thoughts to yourself until they transform into a more positive outlook.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could feel as if you’re fighting an inner battle now, yet it may play out in a current relationship. Don’t withdraw; facing a difficult issue with a close friend or partner is the best way to conquer your fears. Just talking about your concerns improves your chances to find satisfaction because your mind continues to figure out alternative courses of action. Fortunately, your new ideas will likely have greater potential for success.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be bored at work today, but still need to fulfill your obligations. Instead of doing your job the same old way, it might help to take a new approach. Even if it turns out that your experiment isn’t as efficient as you wish, you’ll still feel better that you tried something different. Ultimately, your frame of mind is more important now than how long it takes you to finish your job.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Even if you are receiving encouragement everywhere you turn today, you still might not believe the good news you are hearing. It’s difficult to trust the optimism of others because you, too, may be trying to make things sound better than they are now. Take the pressure off of the situation and just roll with the waves. Acknowledging the limitations of your logic frees you from the consequences of any temporary negativity.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might not get everything you want today, yet there are still plenty of opportunities to make the best of current circumstances. Part of your problem may be your inflated hopes, leading you to expect things to fall magically into place. Try not to put too much stock in anything that isn’t working out, for the immediate changes you make now can bring deeper satisfaction down the road.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t like to place all your eggs in one basket. However, you may be so focused on specific tasks that certain aspects won’t likely work out as expected. There is, however, a silver lining to this cloud. You might be able to dream your way to success if you can find a way to keep all the facts on the table while honoring your creative imagination.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Everything seems to be blown out of proportion today, so it’s challenging to find the right pace and stick to it. Even the littlest problem could become an insurmountable obstacle. Ironically, the big issues may not be threatening enough until you’ve run into them head first. Don’t wait until it’s too late; bring your thoughts out into the open where others can see your internal process. They will be more inclined to jump in with the support you need if they know what you’re feeling.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Sometimes you can appear disconnected from reality, but others usually don’t know how far out your thoughts actually are. Now, as the Moon moves through your sign, you can surprise everyone with your uncanny brilliance. It’s your turn to be the hero by finding a solution to a problem that others can’t solve. Don’t hold back. Think big today, and trust the original ideas that come to you no matter how weird they seem at first.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you are justly accused of a wrongdoing today, quickly admit your guilt and ask for forgiveness. Don’t make excuses or slip into denial. On the other hand, if you did nothing to precipitate the emotional outburst, the situation can be a bit stickier. Wait until you know all the facts before responding, for something may be going on that isn’t yet out in the open.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for November 19th

A Total Eclipse of the Sun in provocative Scorpio on Tuesday stirs deep rumblings in personal relationships. It could be time to wipe the slate clean and get a fresh start within a current partnership or to change personal habits that get in the way of love. Facing intense emotions with courage and a commitment to growth can be the difference between frustration and making a major breakthrough toward lasting intimacy.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Slowing down to face the emotional music might not be your favorite way to play the game of love, but stopping to listen is highly recommended this week. Running away from strong feelings or racing ahead to fulfill your desires won’t offer you the romantic opportunities that come from taking a more deliberate pace in personal matters. Your energetic planet Mars marches into strategic Capricorn on Friday, where it will reward you for exercising self-discipline and practicing patience over the next five weeks.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Major issues in relationships may appear on the horizon this week. There’s a Scorpio Solar Eclipse occurring on Tuesday in your 7th House of Partners that might not spur sudden changes, but gets your feelings moving in deep and powerful ways. A slow building attraction could start to intensify or unmet needs might approach a breaking point. Either way, it’s important to act on your own desires instead of waiting for someone else to take the lead.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Think twice before saying what’s on your mind this week. Your chatty ruling planet Mercury is backing into secretive Scorpio on Wednesday where discretion is a must and even minor misunderstandings could undermine trust. The emotional work you do within yourself is where the real action is happening now as analyzing your relationship situation takes priority. Recognizing where adjustments are needed and which habits need changing is the first step to putting your love life back on track.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

This week’s powerful Solar Eclipse in mysterious Scorpio lands in your 5th House of Romance, revealing untapped talents and hidden resources for restoring love and creativity in your life. If you’re in a positive personal relationship, this is a time when emotional honesty can take it to the next level. But if you’re discontent or single and looking, changing yourself in visible ways can inspire passion that leads to radical improvement in matters of the heart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Some emotional housecleaning is called for this week with a transformational Scorpio Solar Eclipse shaking up your 4th House of Roots. Conflict may erupt on the home front and strong emotions can start to surge from within. Don’t drown in a sea of negativity but also don’t be afraid of uncomfortable feelings. The key to turning frustration into fulfillment starts with acknowledging your own needs and committing to changing yourself instead of blaming others. Taking responsibility for your role in the drama sets a positive example for others to follow.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your usually rational ruling planet Mercury backs into emotional Scorpio on Wednesday while you’re still reacting to Tuesday’s evocative Solar Eclipse. All this cosmic activity occurs in your 3rd House of Communication, empowering you to dig up hidden information and start a fire with a few provocative words. The verbal heat could be the sexy kind that rekindles passion in a partnership or draws you to someone new and exciting. However, you might lose your chance for a romantic connection if you feed mistrust with secrecy and criticism. You may want to wait until Mars and the Moon move into earthy Capricorn on Friday before making any solid commitments one way or the other.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You get a relationship reality check this week with a potent Total Eclipse of the Sun falling in perceptive Scorpio and your 2nd House of Possessions. This is the part of your chart that has to do with self-worth and personal values. If you don’t appreciate your talents or sacrifice your needs out of fear of displeasing others, expect to hear some less than romantic music. But if you search deeply within, you will find underused resources that can make you more desirable than ever. You can’t expect others to fully love you until you truly love yourself.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Get ready to rumble with a Total Eclipse of the Sun happening in your passionate sign this week. This powerful event can alter your self-image and change the trajectory of your personal life. If you’ve been frustrated with your partner or hungry to find a new one, strong emotions are likely to surface. Just make sure that you’re willing to go all the way if you put those feelings into play. Letting go of unhealthy habits is one way to win in the game of love.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your past could start catching up with you this week with the Scorpio Solar Eclipse falling in your 12th House of Secrets. Intimate information might surface that rattles a relationship and undermines your self-confidence. But facing the truth is an excellent way to get the clarity required to handle unruly emotions. Confide in a reliable person to avoid isolation and to gain the positivity needed for turning inner darkness into light.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Assertive Mars pushes its way into your sign on Friday, inspiring physical activity and motivating you to take the initiative in relationships. But don’t expect others to line up with your plans without a bit of resistance. Mental Mercury backs into stubborn Scorpio on Wednesday the day after a Solar Eclipse in this emotionally powerful sign. Seek support from friends and rely on your pals to provide the clarity you need to avoid going off track. The Moon’s presence in your sign on Friday and Saturday gives you the chance to get in touch with your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Keeping cool during this intense week may not be easy. The pressures of responsibility and the expectations of others could be pushed beyond reason. But this isn’t a time when thinking provides all the answers you’re seeking. A Total Solar Eclipse in psychic Scorpio on Tuesday signals the necessity to tune into your feelings and add their input to your decision-making process about relationships. Listen to your intuition; your gut has solutions that your eyes can’t see. The Moon’s shift into your sign on Sunday morning offers you the opportunity to discover what your heart really wants.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The seas of emotions are rolling with intensity fueled by a provocative Solar Eclipse in powerful Scorpio on Tuesday. Cerebral Mercury also enters the story by retreating into this same passionate water sign on Wednesday. These cosmic events occur in your visionary 9th House where you can turn failures and frustrations of the past into positive intentions and inspirations for the future. Letting go of outdated expectations greatly increases your potential to find fulfillment in personal relationships.

As Witches….

Witchy Cat Graphics & Comments

We accept responsibility for our actions and deeds as clearly a result of the choices we make. We do not blame an exterior entity or being for our shortcoming, weaknesses or mistakes. If we mess up or do something that brings harm to another, we have no one but ourselves to blame and must face the consequences resulting from those actions.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 19th

The early hours have an upbeat and favorable vibe due to the Moon in Aquarius making a harmonious trine with Jupiter in Gemini (2:49AM PST) followed just one minute later (2:50AM PST) by a Moon-Neptune parallel. Write down your dreams and nocturnal soul-wanderings for future consideration.  Tensions are back and causing a rise in stress as the Moon parallels Saturn (7:06AM PST), Pallas squares Vesta (8:02AM PST), and Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Pluto (10:53AM PST). Taking a time-out from business-as-usual during these alignments is sensible.  Love bonds receive a solid lift due to the Moon forming a parallel with Venus (7:36PM PST). Around 21 hours before Pallas shifts gears from reverse to forward, Mercury forms a trine to Pallas in water signs (8:18PM PST). Strategy sessions with a trusted friend or adviser may be in the cards.  Extra hours of rest and sleep are suggested later on since the Sun is parallel Pluto (10:20PM PST), Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Vesta (10:48PM PST) while Mars opposes Ceres (11:17PM PST). Be prepared for tomorrow’s illuminating energy-field.

Calendar of the Moon for November 19th

Calendar of the Moon

19 Ngetal/Maimakterion

Scathach’s Day

Colors: Black and Red
Element: Air
Altar: Upon cloth of black and red place three red candles, wooden practice swords, quarterstaves, and a cup of animal’s blood.
Offering: Mentor someone in something difficult that they fear, and do not be gentle with them.
Daily Meal: Meat.

Invocation to Scathach

Hail teacher of warriors!
Hail Lady who hones the edges
Of young hotbloods sharp and keen,
Who cools their seething heads,
Who makes them think of strategy and logic,
Who quickens their reflexes,
Who tempers their dross iron
Into serviceable steel.
Hail Lady of the sword and shield,
Lady of the spear and staff,
Lady many-weaponed, who knows the secrets
Of each killing blow,
Hail Lady of the Isle of Skye,
The crashing waves, the bridge of knives,
The salmon’s leap across the unknown.
You test our strength,
Giving us the cold reality
Of what we can and cannot do.
You push our boundaries,
Encouraging us to do more
That we thought possible.
You take no excuses,
And for that we must be grateful.
Hail teacher of warriors;
May we all learn beneath your implacable blows.

(The cup of blood is poured out as a libation. Each person steps up to the altar and names something that is difficult for them, where they need to be honed. They indicate one of the practice weapons, and one who has been chosen to do the work of the ritual strikes them three times with it. The first strike should be light, and the second and third strikes harder only if they ask for it to be so. Thus Scathach gives her blessing.)

Calendar of the Sun for November 19th

Calendar of the Sun

 

Feralia: Day of Purification

Color: White
Element: Air
Altar: On a white cloth put a lit candle, incense, a cup of water, and a bowl of salt.
Offering: Although this day is not a day of total silence, it is a solemn day and talking should be done only when necessary and in quiet tones. Bodies should be thoroughly cleaned during the bathing hour, and then the altar area should be cleaned and purified with all four elements. Each person, upon entering the altar space at the beginning of Sponde should remove their clothing and be naked, and each body should be purified with the four elements and marked with water and salt, at which point they may enrobe again. Chores of the day should concentrate on cleaning and repair.
Daily Meal: Vegan and extremely simple and plain.

Feralia Invocation

Breathe the air into your body
And breathe out again,
And as you breathe out,
Let all grime and corruption
Depart on that breath
(All breathe together for twelve breaths.)
Feel the blood coursing through your body
And imagine it clean
Of anything but what should be there.
Feel the energy coursing through your body
And wash it clean
Of anything that does not belong.
Feel the Earth beneath you,
Remember that She can absorb all
Remember that all rot is her provenance
Draw her energy up into you
And give it back again.

(After this grounding, all breathe together again in a yogic breathing pattern for the next half an hour, after which all will go with water and salt and incense and fire to all rooms in the house and cleanse them. Great care should be taken for the rest of the day not to disturb the energy of the freshly cleaned house.)

Current Moon Phase for November 19th – Waxing Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waxing/38% illumination)

During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.

The Witches Magick for November 19th – SPELL TO REFLECT NEGATIVITY

Witchy Cat Graphics & Comments
SPELL TO REFLECT NEGATIVITY

You will need your magic mirror or a consecrated small round mirror, a wide-mouthed glass jar, ashes, vinegar, a knife or something else sharp like a razor blade or piece of broken glass, and an apple.

After sundown, set the jar before the mirror and place in it some ashes.
Fill it up about 2/3 of the way with vinegar.
Take the apple and carve into it something that will represent the person or the negativity which follows or attacks you. Try and make it as clear as you can-while you carve, infuse the apple with all of the negativity you perceive around you. Raise the apple above the jar and say:

“Evil send must come to rest
Reflect it back to who knows best
Energy spent for evil and bane,
Go back now from whence you came
Far away I send you this hour
May all your attempts to harm turn sour!”

Place the apple in the jar-for best results do this spell for three consecutive nights.

It’s Monday Again! Make It A Good One, Dear Friends!

To My Kindred Spirit

by Todd-Michael St. Pierre

We share secrets, we laugh and even cry,

We have so much in common,

Concerns, likes and dislikes.

Ours is a relationship joined by

Tender velvet chains that link our

similar dreams of life and love.

A gentle intuition guides us in our

individual struggles to succeed

at the things we pursue, to stand

out from the crowd.

In you I have found so much of myself,

Including many of the same

Insecurities and philosophies.

Complete inner-peace and happiness,

These are the things I wish for you,

in the present and in the future

because you are my kindred spirit.
