Your Ancient Symbol Card for October 22 is The Magus

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Magus


The Magus is the physical embodiment of decisive action based upon knowledge and aimed squarely at specific goals. Thoroughly Yang by nature and firmly set in the material world, he none-the-less has a powerful spiritual connection as well. His knowledge, wisdom and skill are all encompassing. He is complete. His power as a creator is unmatched on our earthly plane. He is self-aware and unafraid to act. His enormous strength gives him the freedom to act as he chooses. However, responsibility comes with that freedom. Because he is not bound to the restraints of others he must choose how to act. The question that always lies before him is should he act morally, or forsake ethics for personal gain.

As a daily card, The Magus suggest you currently possess a tremendous power and freedom to move your life in any direction you choose. In short, you can make things happen. Your true challenge at the moment is to move forward without trampling the dreams of others. Fortunately your moral fiber is strong as well, and will guide you down the right path.

The Daily Witches Rune for October 22 is The Wave

Daily Witches Rune

The Wave

Meaning: This rune symbolizes your friends and family and their influence upon you. Its meaning is usually derived from the other stones closest to it. This rune is also associated with travel. A journey abroad is indicated especially if the Sun rune is nearby, but a journey for someone close to you if the Moon stone is closest. If it is near to the Rings it foretells a holiday or long distance relationship.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Oct. 22nd is The Lovers

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

The Lovers


The Lovers indicates both the most powerful of unions and the most of challenging conflicts humans must face. On one side The Lover’s embodies love and union on a cosmic scale—a love so strong, so inherently good that it actually makes the lovers better, more than they really are. All of the elements are there for the perfect union. The Lovers represent all powerful unions in general, and the elements that create/sustain them. The problem The Lovers face is temptation and the decision to act morally or abandon their ethics to take advantage of other opportunities that would be defined as transgressions.

Your Daily Rune for October 22nd is Laguz

bw-laguz

bw-laguzYour Rune For Today
Laguz

Laguz is the feminine Rune. It denotes a deep sexuality and fertility. Laguz also represents that which is ever changing and renewal. You may be in a tremendous spiritual growth period.

Additional Information about the Rune, Laguz

 

laguz : water

 

Phonetic equivalent: l

 

DIVINATORY MEANINGS:
emotions, fears, unconscious mind, things hidden, revelation, intuition, counselling

 

MAGICAL USES:
enhancing psychic abilities, confronting fears, stabilizing mental or emotional disorders, uncovering hidden things

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:
Njord, Midgard Serpent

 

ANALYSIS:
When most people think of water, they generally think of its more pleasant associations – peacefulness, love, compassion, intuition, and the emotions in general. However, we must remember that, to the Norse, water most often meant the sea, and the sea was a terrifying, unpredictable place, home of the Midgard serpent and the grave of many sailors. Laguz, then, should be thought of in terms of the lighter and the darker sides of the element of water. It speaks to our primal fears of the dark, the cold, and all those terrifying things hidden deep within our subconscious minds.
Like eihwaz, which forced the journeyer to confront his or her mortality, laguz makes us examine the underlying roots of our personality and behavior, and allows us to modify those aspects which are hindering our spiritual development. The understanding and wisdom gained through eihwaz and the runes which followed have prepared the journeyer to face this darker side (represented by laguz) and accept it as an integral part of their selves. Laguz also prepares the person to take on the task of helping others through this self-examination process, allowing them to empathize more strongly and share their own experiences, making it (among other things) the rune of the spiritual counsellor.

Your Lucky Tarot Cards for Thursday, October 22nd

Your Lucky Tarot Cards for the Day

This reading represents elements that favor you.

Death

First and foremost Death does not specifically pertain to our physical death. The Death card marks ends and beginnings. Although most illustrations of the Death card tend to be morbid, the forces behind the Death card are actually quite exciting. Yes Death does mark the end of something. But ends are often brought about by completion and not loss. Most endings are actually good, and make room for us to begin new adventures.

When The Tower is among your personal cards, the influence of Death may be increased. Having The Fool or The Empress in your personal cards may diminish the influence of Death.

The Emperor

The Emperor is gifted with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order, provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t he may well become a tyrant.

When The Hierophant or Justice are among your personal cards, the influence of The Emperor may be increased. Having The Empress in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Emperor.

Your Daily Tarot Card for Thursday, October 22nd is The Tower

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Tower


The Tower is perfect card for the revolutionary or iconoclast or anyone who flourishes in rapidly changing environments. What The Tower brings to the mix is sudden, usually unexpected change. With that change there will be a period of disorder, and there may be loss. However, the loss is probably not yours, since you may well be the agent that created the change to begin with. Many positive things can occur from the change The Tower indicates: Truths will be laid bare, revelations and breakthroughs are not just possible but likely, and nothing spurs creativity like a good dose of chaos and confusion. In the end it is likely that what replaces what was lost in the fall of The Tower will be worth the loss.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow,

Your Horoscopes for Friday, October 23rd

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope
Our energy wanders all over the map today. The Moon slips into spiritual Pisces at 1:17 am EDT, urging us to serve others with an open heart. Our passions intensify, manifesting into positive expressions as beautiful Venus harmoniously trines transformational Pluto. But the planetary mish-mosh is thickened by the Sun’s shift into mysterious Scorpio at 1:46 pm. Nevertheless, our optimism grows as the Sun aligns with bountiful Jupiter this evening.

 

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
It’s a wizardly day, overflowing with the potential of magic. However, you must be willing to surrender to unseen forces if you want to benefit from this cosmic collaboration. Your spells and enchantments can cook up an intense emotional feast, but it may prove impossible to control the menu once you begin. The real power is found when you set aside your original recipe and follow your intuition. Dance with the unknown and you will not fail to impress even the most cynical of your critics.

 

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
You are quite single-minded when it comes to pursuing pleasure today as sensual Venus hooks up with unrelenting Pluto. Your feelings are so intense that you might not know how to keep your cool as you try to contain your emotions. Everything seems to assume cosmic proportions now, yet you may not want to say anything at all because you believe that your words will only get you into more trouble. It’s okay to remain quiet as long as you are still willing to remain in touch with your heart.

 

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
Reality can hit you hard today and you might not know whether to be ecstatic or afraid. Rest assured that both emotions are likely appropriate responses, even if they seem to be mutually exclusive. The planetary currents are pulling you into deep emotional waters and you can’t use your normal intellectual tools to stay on course. In fact, you may reach a point where you simply give up trying to figure out what to do next. Once you accept that your feelings don’t need to be fixed, anything is possible.

 

Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
Your strong convictions empower your actions and speech as long as you express yourself authentically. You Crabs are more sensitive to the shifting emotional tides than most people realize. As the currents build now, you might be prompted to act on a primal instinct. Although a swift decision may be your best move, make sure you aren’t initiating unnecessary changes based upon your fears or you could inadvertently turn them into reality. No matter what the question is, love is the only answer.

 

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
Your powerful romantic desires surprise you today, because they may not be as bright and cheery as you normally entertain. The sunshine is hiding behind the clouds, blocking your natural light. You might even feel emotionally overwhelmed, which can elicit anxiety over the littlest of things. Remember, there’s no need to share all of your feelings now. Consciously choose to settle your energy with a simple statement of intention. Stay calm by traveling to your internal happy place, even if you are scared. With the right motivation, you can wait this storm out and emerge stronger than ever.

 

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
Don’t even bother attempting to keep up the image of a neat and tidy Virgo as your tightly-wound emotions begin to unravel today. A minor tropical depression is being upgraded into a full-blown hurricane, complete with powerful waves of passion that can overpower your analytical walls of containment. The truth is this storm could prove to be a memorable experience, stirring up enough feelings to remind you of the complexities of your heart. Put on your rain boots and don’t be afraid to get wet.

 

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
The more immersed you are in the details today, the less you seem to know. Instead of sorting through all the facts about so many people, places and things, let your feelings take over the helm. You won’t get pretty images, meaningless chatter or random interactions while your key planet Venus receives her instructions from survival-oriented Pluto. Abandon intellectual restraint and act on what you desire, rather than what others expect. If you want profundity and passion in your life now, all you need to do is ask.

 

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
You grow weary today when the cosmos just keeps handing you the same old line. Romantic Venus harmonizes with your key planet Pluto, motivating you to take a calculated risk in order to achieve the emotional satisfaction you seek. Travel to the depths; then go even deeper. Feel it all, the love and the pain. You already know that your thoughts are merely a distraction from the desires of heart. A magical metamorphosis is close at hand if you believe in yourself as much as you believe in your dreams.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
Although these may be uncertain times, filled with potential hazards, you’re quite hopeful about your professional trajectory today. Your determination is admirable; you’re ready to knuckle down and take your work more seriously than ever. Take time out from your busy schedule to reconstruct the last few weeks in your mind and then consciously project your positive intentions forward. You’re standing at a powerful threshold now, and whatever aspirations you set into motion will have a long-lasting impact.

 

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
Although you’re obsessed with fulfilling your obligations today, it’s smart to step back and spend time mapping out your plans for next year. But remember, reality is not what it appears to be; your attitude determines what you perceive. The current changes can be quite dramatic, especially if you are inclined to resist the inevitable. But don’t be afraid of going on a spiritual journey as you explore your attractions and desires. The future is what you make it.

 

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
Maintaining a comfortable level of emotional detachment can be an uphill battle today. You long to share your feelings, but may be afraid of exposing your vulnerability for fear of rejection. This approach-avoidance conflict raises long-standing relationship issues. Be patient; you won’t receive answers to all your questions right away. You are engaged in a profound emotional dance that invites reality to lead, whether you know it or not. You will end up with a great story to tell if you trust your heart and move with the music.

 

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
You may not be in the mood to play around because you have more urgent relationship business to attend to now. Your heart is open wide and you don’t want to miss an opportunity to engage your passions while magnetic Venus in your 7th House of Others trines powerful Pluto. Nevertheless, there’s also an inescapable gnawing fear of the unknown. Don’t try to talk yourself out of this journey. Fortune favors the bold.

If You Were Born Today, October 22

If You Were Born Today, October 22

Although you are personally magnetic, you have a manner that is slightly intimidating to others, making you a little hard to get close to. You give off the subtle impression that perhaps you don’t really need new people in your life. You do, although you tend to be somewhat selective when it comes to your social life, simply because your work is extremely important to you and you value your time. There is a no-nonsense directness about you that inspires trust in others. You give the impression of solidity, strength of character, dependability and honesty. Although you are an idealist and visionary, you still manage to keep your feet on the ground. You don’t seem capable of doing things halfway, and that includes your relationships. You are quite focused on achieving in life.

Famous people born today: Jeff Goldblum, Catherine Deneuve, Deepak Chopra, Christopher Lloyd, Franz Liszt, Annette Funicello, Carlos Mencia, Bob Odenkirk.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 22nd

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

The day’s energies are complex, dear Aries. There is intensity in our interactions, but whether this is experienced as pleasant or unpleasant (or both) is really up to how we handle ourselves today. Unnecessary tension may be generated if we can’t move past a particular problem or issue, unless, of course, we remain detached enough to enjoy the researching process. Try your best to get over attitudes or thought patterns that are too negative to do you any good. It’s important today to see the areas of your life that are draining you of energy so that you can focus on simplifying. There has to be a better balance in terms of where you put your energies – into yourself and your personal pursuits and into others. Aim for more understanding but don’t push this process.

Taurus

Taurus

Your intuition can work well for you today, dear Taurus, but it’s important to avoid going too far with analyses to the point of obsessive thinking, which can lead you astray and in fact far away from your natural instincts. Emotionally-driven decisions made now may be regrettable later. If you’ve been putting too much into your relationships to the point that you’re losing yourself in others, then you need to come to a point of balance. Demonstrate your faith and confidence in others rather than looking for problems. Don’t get caught up in others’ mind games, however, which are no-win. You may be looking for more to life than the usual, and this can lead to important experiences, but could also cause some ripples if you’re not sure where to channel excess energy.

Gemini

Gemini

There is provocative energy to the day, dear Gemini, and this can give rise to complicated situations. There could be the re-emergence of a past problem that hangs heavy in your aura. You could be seeking out intense experiences, and this can work out fine if you are self-aware and know what you’re after, but could be a little chaotic if you’re not sure where to begin or what you want. Protect your most cherished relationships from misunderstandings, suspicion, or regrettable, harsh words. Activities involving career and reputation matters may be emotionally charged. Romantic relationships may require more attention, time, or energy, but could also reach a new level. Judgment about money or love may be exaggerated or otherwise skewed, just for now, but this doesn’t mean you don’t have something to learn about your desires. In fact, you’re likely to end the day with important new insights. Circumstances align in such a way that they show you the things that are most important and essential.

Cancer

Cancer

People can be a little more sensitive in their interactions today, dear Cancer, and perhaps a little provocative in an attempt to seek answers or question commitment. With respect for one another, of course, there can be wonderful new insights gained now, but it can be difficult if either party is stubbornly seeing only their point of view. While you don’t need to put your ideas on hold, you may need to refine them before pushing forward. Domestic chores or problems in the family dynamic can weigh heavily on your mind now. Try not to think in extremes, as worries can be exaggerated with this frame of mind. Take extra care in conversations, and this can be a wonderful time to discover new things about someone you love. Focus on listening rather than telling or asking. Good energy is with you for breaking new ground in a project or learning endeavor.

Leo

Leo

There is a somewhat charged energy to the day, dear Leo, and while this can go either way and possibly both ways, you are likely to be able to turn it around to your advantage. Most importantly, try to avoid pushing an idea or pushing for an answer from someone. As well, avoid succumbing to pressures to get too much done in too little time. Others, and possibly you as well, can be demanding far too much from you now. News or information coming in may be touching a nerve or triggering fears, but there is a tendency to worry more than is necessary, as exaggeration is a strong possibility now. Focus on what needs refining or rehauling, and you’ll do especially well now. Channel intensity into a productive project. This is a time for building and encouraging a sense of purpose by setting goals and drawing up plans to meet them. If you need to pare down, this is a good time to do so, or to become aware that this is necessary and useful.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

There can be a tendency to dwell on problem areas or to worry today, dear Virgo, and this is particularly the case regarding money and relationships. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by attempting to manipulate people or circumstances, as true power comes from handling your own feelings and energy effectively. Tricky territory today is found in points of extremes or exaggeration. Try to apply the rule of moderation in your life, not only in activities but in your thinking as well. Try not to agonize over making a decision that needs more time to unfold, and don’t attempt to force an issue just because you can’t get it out of your mind. Personal magnetism is strong today, and your ability to focus is excellent if you are able to put the worrying away. Be sure to reach out to others, as relationships can reach a nice new level now with attention and focus.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

If you can’t quite settle on a decision that feels right in your gut today, dear Libra, then set it aside without guilt, if this is possible. If you can return to the issue at a later date, this may be best, simply because we have a tendency to feel overwhelmed by, or to exaggerate, problems and fears right now. You may need to tread lightly in conversations with others today, but there is also good energy for getting to a better understanding of people and situations that you may not want to pass up. If you need to prune, weed, or otherwise eliminate excess in an area of life, now would be a good time to do so, simply because you are more aware of what is, and isn’t, essential and worthwhile to you at this point in your life. Try not to rush decisions or to speak of a matter prematurely. Family matters can thrive today with more focus and attention.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Today’s energies are complicated, dear Scorpio, with your ruler, Pluto, forming strong aspects, both challenging and flowing in nature. On the one hand, you could be thinking a little too much to the point that you no longer see a situation objectively. Avoid letting fears enter the equation. There are stronger ego needs now, which of course can lead to some trouble if timing is off. Show others your better traits, and the feedback you receive will be satisfying. In fact, there is good energy for connecting, negotiating, and getting closer to someone you care about. Your own personal magnetism is strong. Focus on attracting the things you need and want to you rather than pushing to get what you want.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

There can be some intensity in conversations and interactions today, dear Sagittarius, and while you enjoy passionate exchanges, these may border on intrusive at times now. Sidestep situations that look like they’re leading to power games. You’re not in any mood to be told what to think. You may feel that you have a little less energy, and it can be completely unrelated to physical issues – it is more likely to do with a temporary feeling of being blocked creatively or stuck in a rut. A dry spell is temporary and you should avoid allowing it to interfere with your productivity. Take the time to rethink plans if need be, but don’t make big changes just yet. Focusing on one thing at a time, and prioritizing, will serve you the best right now, as difficult as it may seem today.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

There can be intensity to conversations today, dear Capricorn, which can range from passionate to annoying or invasive. Avoid putting pressure on yourself and others to come to a definite conclusion or position. Channel excess energy positively by working passionately on a pet project or throwing yourself into absorbing entertainment or research. With the personal impact you’re making, choose your words carefully. Watch for opportunities emerging to express yourself in new and unique ways, particularly related to publishing or connecting. News or information emerging now can turn your attention to a new interest or direction. Avoid impulsive moves. Your personal appeal is very strong now – use this extra influence positively!

Aquarius

Aquarius

It’s wise to think strategically today, dear Aquarius, but avoid overthinking. Be as moderate in your thinking as possible, as we tend to get into trouble today if we take things too far. There can certainly be things to learn from your interactions now, but a lot of frustration can be avoided if we aim to avoid thinking in extremes, as that is when fear misguides us. Find ways to simplify your life, particularly on a mental plane, by cutting out those things that are leaving you feeling overwhelmed. There may be tricky power dynamics with others now, but if handled well, there is simply a more deeply creative energy to your interactions. Channel your energy into something productive and empowering rather than for obsessing over something that can’t be changed.

Pisces

Pisces

With the Moon in your privacy and soul sector again today, dear Pisces, taking extra time for reflection or rest is important. There can be some tension surrounding a predicament or problem today, or you could have a hard time putting something out of your mind and productivity suffers a little as a result. While it can be difficult to move past an issue that is bothering you, it would be wise to find ways to channel excess mental energy into something more useful. Difficulties are temporary, and keeping your sights set on higher goals can help you out right now. Include the people you trust in your plans now, and focus on brainstorming and teamwork for best results.

The WItches Magick for the 22nd Day of October – Earthy Prosperity Tarot Spell

Blessed Be

Earthy Prosperity Tarot Spell

 

If possible, work this prosperity spell outdoors. You will be calling on the element of earth and all of its fertile and abundant energies. If weather prohibits you from being outside, then set this up so your work area faces north, because the northern direction is associated with the element of earth.

You will need:

A green votive candle

A votive-cup candle holder

1/2 cup garden soil (you can us potting soil)

A saucer or small plate to hold the soil

The following tarot cards: Ace of Pentacles, Nine of Pentacles, and Ten of Pentacles (please note: the suits of Coins and Pentacles are the same thing)

A lighter or matches

A safe, flat surface on which to set up the spell

Place the green votive candle inside the cup. Snuggle the votive cup securely down into the soil. Arrange the cards next to the dish that holds the soil and candle. Take a few momentts to center yourself. When you feel ready, light the candle, and speak the following spell three times:

Element of earth I call, ground and strengthen me tonight

May the gods now bless this green spell candle that burns so bright

The suit of Pentacles and Coins calls for prosperity

They will help to bring health and abundance quickly to me

Now together may all of these elements combine

And create opportunity for wealth at this time.

Close the spell by saying:

For the good of all, bringing harm to none

By the element of earth, this spell is done!

Allow the candle to burn until it goes out on its own. If necessary, move the candle to a safe location so it can finish burning, such as a shower stall, inside an unlit fireplace, or in the empty kitchen sink. Never leave a burning candle unattended, especially outdoors.

Thursday is the day of Jupiter, the largest of the planets and said to be the most powerful. Spellcasters would be wise to use this day for attempting wealth, success and prosperity spells.

Thursday is also associated (in Greek mythology) to Thor – Thor’s day – and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same. Both are strong and powerful, yet wise and just. Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect.

This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion
