A Weekend Overview of Your Love Horoscopes for Aug. 21 thru 23

Weekend Love Horoscope

August 21-23: Crushed hopes

Maria DeSimone

Maria DeSimone on the topics of videos, love, horoscopes, astrology

It might appear that there’s promise in the air this weekend when it comes to love. An emotionally rich Scorpio Moon on Friday will lead into an open, adventurous Sagittarius Moon by Saturday afternoon and yes — you may crave a bit of fun and escapade with your playmate. The problem, however, is that on Friday evening a nagging square between the Sun and Saturn threatens to rain on your parade.

This square is a frustrating reminder that life and love is not always about pleasure. In fact, there is a price to pay in order to play, and this weekend you will see exactly how much that price is. Any hope that you have for an easy breezy weekend of love and pleasure might easily be crushed under the weight of duty and responsibility. Ouch!

This Weekend’s Romantic Rating*

* Heart ratings are based on the lunar cycle. They range from low to full, with low indicating a rocky weekend for romance and full indicating plenty of passionate potential.

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Consualia

Gothic

August 21

Consualia

Held annually in Rome on August 21, Consualia was a celebration of the harvest held in honor of Consus. There would have been a sacrifice and offerings of the first fruits, followed by horse racing in the Circus Maximus. The horses and chariots would have been decorated in garland and paraded before the altar of Consus, which was kept underground and exposed only on August 21 and at the preceding celebration of Consualia and the Festival of The Pales.

Consus

Consus was the ancient Roman Earth God of granary and was connected with the harvest and Autumn sowing. He had an underground barn and altar at the Circus Maximus, which was only uncovered at his twice-yearly festivals. Consus also had a temple on the Aventine Hill, and his sacrifical offerins consisted of first fruits. Consus was also identified with the Greek God Poseidon and with Neptune, presumably because of his association with horses. HIs symbols include the horse and chariot, cornucopia, all fruits, vegetables and grain. His colors are gold, brown, and rust, and his numerical values are 7 and 21.

Must Do’s For Friday

Wiccan

Must Do’s For Friday

 

Fridays are days of loving enchantments and passionate emotions.

See how many ways you could add a little loving enchantment into your life and the lives of your loved ones. If you wish to explore the topic of love and romance witchery even further, then check out my book How to Enchant a Man: Spells to Bewitch, Bedazzle &Beguile. If cat magick has tickled your fancy, then for further study read my book The Enchanted Cat: Feline Fascinations, Spells &Magick.

In the meantime, try sharing red berries with your partner some enchanted evening. Work that meditation, and see what other mysteries Freya has to teach you. Wear a Venus planetary color and call on the Goddess for a little inner sparkle. Burn some floral incense, light up some rosy candles, and set a romantic mood. Try wearing a little copper jewelry, and see how it affects you and your Friday magick. Get those potpourri and philter recipes going, and see what you can conjure up.

Advancing your magickal skills takes drive, ambition, and passion. Work with Eros to discover just how much enthusiasm, inspiration, and drive he can bring into your days, for the imagination is a place where dreams flourish and ideas come to fruition.

Call on these fertile and romantic powers, and create your own unique spells and charms. Just think of all the magickal information that you can now add to your repertoire of witchery. Lastly, remember this: when you combine imagination and a loving heart with magick, you’ll succeed every time.

Friday’s Witchery

 

Love magick is a perennial popular topic. However, there is more to this topic than meets the eye. There are many enchanting layers here for us to explore on this day of the week. What about creating a loving home, or producing a loving and nurturing family? What about keeping your intimate relationships vital and on track? How about promoting happy, healthy, and enduring friendships? See, there is more to be considered than just the “You shall be mine…” type of fictional love spell.

Don’t forget that many of the deities associated with Fridays are also parents. So, yes, while this is the day to work on romance, sex, and love spells, there is additional magick to be considered here, which makes Fridays a more well-rounded and bigger opportunity for witchery than many folks ever truly realize. The truest, strongest magick always comes from the heart.

What A Glorious Friday Morn’ Our Divine Mother Has Blessed Us With!

Wiccan Woman and Dragons (GP)

We will be bright and fierce

Like the flame that burns

In the candle hot

We will be strong and grounded

Like the tumbled stone

That once was earth

We will be flexible and resilient

Like the water that flows

Always to return

We will be the essence of potential

Like the seed that waits

And grows when needed

We will endure

We will survive

We will triumph

And rise like the phoenix

At the dawn of this day

With the help of the gods

And our own determination

We will endure

And shall rise like the phoenix.

So Mote It Be
