Your Horoscopes for Friday, October 30th

 

Aries

This can be a good day for progress or idea-generating when it comes to creative matters or a romance, dear Aries. You are more able to express yourself in subtle ways, to feel in touch with what’s inside, and to convey your inner world or message easily. Words may not be quite as effective as body language and actions today. Activities that feed your imagination and sense of magic can thrive now. Inspiration may come from a private moment with someone, or from within. The pipeline to your inner world is open today, so take the opportunity to get to know yourself better. Consciously look for those things that feed your faith today for best results. Try not to get angry at yourself if you’re feeling passive, as much can be accomplished in the mind and heart now.

Taurus

This is a good day for helping friends or a partner, dear Taurus, whether this is in tangible or intangible ways. It can be in the form of simply being there, talking through problems, gentle advice giving, or physical help. It can be a nice time for surrounding yourself with people who are accepting or share your own ideals. Like minds tend to gravitate towards one another today. It’s also a fine time for creative thinking, writing, and conversations about dreams, spiritual or philosophical subjects, as well as fanciful musing. Intuition is strong. You could be actively seeking out solutions to problems, and they’re bound to be unusual and creative now, as you’re tuned in to layers and levels of situation that you might miss on a busy day. A partner becomes a friend, or friend and a partner mix wonderfully now. The day is more about accepting and enjoying people than making big moves.

Gemini

This is a good time for healing and repairing efforts, dear Gemini, particularly if you back up and let others be themselves, but also show that you’re supportive. You might have the opportunity to add some creative flair to your work, and ideas for marketing or promotion can be wonderful and inspired now. Some of you could be looking for a “calling” in terms of work, and the services you provide now can be inspiring. A sense of mission or purpose is with you today when it comes to business and possibly self-care and health efforts. Projects seem to come together magically. Feeling connected to something higher than the material lifts your spirits. This is the time to conserve your energy, not to waste it. If you’re looking for more from your routine, imagine improvements you can make. Today is strong for dreaming and connecting with your ideals.

Cancer

Warm energy is with you today for love, affection, and acceptance, dear Cancer. Your personal magnetism is subtly enhanced, and your gentle manner is especially appreciated. Creative efforts tend to be rewarding. Sharing a dream, ideal, or belief with someone can enhance your bond. Love relationships can flourish now, and it’s not about pressure for commitment or pressure to do or say anything. Instead, going with the flow, listening, and opening yourself up to others are the key ingredients now, particularly if they have been missing a little recently. You’re more able to connect with the things that feed your spirit today. A busy life can sometimes separate us from soul-nourishing needs, and it’s time to reconnect. The Moon in your privacy sector all day also serves as a reminder to focus on emotional renewal.

Leo

This is a day for accessing your imagination and creativity fairly easily, dear Leo. Logic and intuition pair up wonderfully now, and this can help you understand yourself and others better. Feelings and actions tend to fall into place, and a gentle and perhaps slightly mysterious approach to the world today becomes you. Matters related to real estate, family, and the home tend to come together, and relationships with family or an intimate partner can be inspiring or subtly enhanced today. This is not the time for making big commitments or for overthinking – it’s a time for accessing inner faith and showing your acceptance of the people in your life. It’s also good for forgiving or understanding someone or possibly a past relationship in order to better put a grievance behind you – do it for yourself. Let things unfold without force or pressure today. On a practical level, money hunches may be worth following.

Virgo

A strong day for communications and partnerships is in store for you, dear Virgo. You may find an opportunity to support someone who needs your help either mentally, physically, or spiritually. You could enjoy a pleasing attraction or find someone especially fascinating. Your own charm expands, particularly in the way you communicate or get your message across. Connections with others can be enhanced through a nice gesture or other form of reaching out. Try to allow your ideas to flow instead of trying to force them. You have much that you’d like to accomplish now, but it’s important to let things flow now in order to better access your intuition and imagination. Recognize your needs for some romance, subtlety, gentleness, and spirituality today for best results. Repair relationships with a gentle touch, concern, and care.

Libra

This is a strong day for paying more attention to your imagination and intuition, following a hunch, and tuning in to your needs to serve, help, and give back, dear Libra. On a practical level, instincts for money and methods are good, even if you’re not seeing all the facts clearly. Developing faith in your intuition as well as your natural talents comes more easily now. There is strong energy for design with you today. You might want to focus on activities that let loose your more compassionate side. Doing things for the inner rewards will feed you well now. You might find activities that soothe and relax you particularly beneficial. When it comes to practical matters, taking a step back from a problem can help your intuition to kick in. While you could feel some pressure from others, try not to succumb to it. The Moon is in your adventure sector all day, reinforcing the need for non-routine, spirited experiences.

Scorpio

Today’s energies are good for tuning in to your imagination and sharing your ideas and your warmth with others, dear Scorpio. You are coming across pleasingly and eloquently at times today, and your creative instincts are on point. Adding special creative flair to whatever you’re doing now is natural. There can be some psychic phenomena experienced now, as your hunches tend to be well-developed, particularly if you avoid succumbing to pressures to perform. You are likely to be feeling spiritually strengthened and well, and the world around you are likely to enjoy and appreciate your manner and attention. Helping others can fill a need. Take note of your dreams and ideas today, as they may very well take shape going forward. This is also a fine time for enhancing your manner or image in some manner. Like-minded people will make their way to you.

Sagittarius

This is a favorable day for honoring your need to dream, wonder, and imagine, dear Sagittarius. Forgiving leads to healing, so aim to take care of yourself mentally and emotionally – your body counts, of course, but you need to feed your spirit as well. Your thoughts can be turning to matters of the past, hidden things, or mysteries. The need to find comfort in familiar situations and with family or close loved ones is real and strong now. Connect in compassionate ways, through gestures that show where your heart is, and that you care. Conversations should focus on acceptance. If you can manage quiet time, comforting activities, and rejuvenating endeavors, do so. The rewards will be great. Helping others out can also fill a need and lift your spirits. The Moon is in your partnership sector all day, suggesting that reaching out to others can be helpful.

Capricorn

This can be a strong day for connecting socially, dear Capricorn, as well as for work that engages your imagination. You are looking for inspiration now, and you’re likely to find it. With the Sun and Neptune harmonizing today, you would do well to set aside personal agendas and reach out to others. It’s a good day for overlooking differences, forgiving, accepting, and supporting. It’s also a fine time for team work and giving back to friends and family. Humanitarian efforts and gestures can be rewarding. This is also a good time for entertaining a new dream or plan, or for reviving an old one. Some of you could be feeling particularly poetic and expressive. Good energy is with you for accessing your imagination and applying it to your work, projects, and communications.

Aquarius

Work and practical projects seem to come together almost without effort today, dear Aquarius, if you allow yourself to step back from problems and let your intuition engage. Instincts for money and business are good. There can be some feeling of pressure to perform or to get things done quickly, but your best bet now is to allow things to flow more naturally. Others may be appreciating the talents that come most naturally to you, and you can make an inspirational leader, guide, or manager now. Alternatively, someone in authority or in the position to help you advance your goals can be supportive. Activities and mantras that build your faith in yourself and in the universe can help and succeed now. Others are likely to return the faith. Long-term goals can be elusive at times, but today you may very well be able to envision where you’d like to head.

Pisces

With Neptune in your sign, dear Pisces, there can be times when you struggle with understanding your personal goals and identity, feeling as if you don’t have a clear tether. However, today’s Sun-Neptune influence can help you to feel connected. Ideas flow nicely now, and you could feel especially inspired by a new interest, topic, or idea. You are especially attracted to activities that feed your spirit and mind, and that take you away from immediate concerns at least for the time being. The desire to learn more about the world around you and other people is strong today, and you tend to attract experiences that broaden your thinking and your experience. Your personal appeal is magnetic now, and like-minded people can be drawn to you. Helping others brings you closer to yourself and lifts your spirits.

If You Were Born Today, October 29

You are playful and spontaneous, and you are usually up for an adventure. Your attachment to your family and to your private life is very strong, and you will do pretty much anything to defend a loved one. You are a passionate person who enjoys debates and shaking things up once in a while. You can be hard to read, simply because there is a decidedly intense side to your nature, yet you can come across as quirky at times as well. Overall, you tend to be respected, and when people you don’t know well seem to be intimidated by you at first, it’s likely because they are in awe on one hand, and are unsure how to read you on the other.

Famous people born today: Winona Ryder, Joely Fisher, Kate Jackson, Richard Dreyfuss, Ben Foster.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 29th

 

Aries

This is a day for connecting but not holding on too tightly to facts and figures, dear Aries. It’s a good time for learning, reaching out, and enjoying the process, but if you’re looking to know all or get a final answer on a matter, you might feel a little frustrated. Let that go and enjoy yourself instead. Your ruler, Mars, is connecting with Saturn in a creative way, and this can lead to inventive practical solutions and focus on creating or building in your work. You can accomplish much today!

Taurus

This is a good day for putting extra oomph into your work efforts, dear Taurus, and feeling relatively supported as you work towards your goals. Money matters are in focus, and although you could be a little concerned about your bottom line, this may be because you have been turning a blind eye to certain habits and don’t have all the facts before you. Try not to worry about things that you are not even sure about. Resolve to learn a little more before jumping to conclusions. This can be a good time for feeling that you can bring a little more stability into a relationship.

Gemini

The Moon moves into your sign shortly into the day, dear Gemini, and you can feel an emotional awakening of sorts. This is the beginning of a new lunar cycle for feelings, domestic matters, and comfort. With any new cycle, it’s important to go into with a healthy attitude. The weeks ahead are especially strong for getting things done, particularly around the home and with family, for banding together to work towards a common goal, and for special creative projects as well. Domestic matters can thrive now, although they can also take up a lot of energy and time. Today is good for cementing a bond or accomplishing something practical with a partner. Try to put worries aside so that you can focus on what and who matters.

Cancer

The Moon begins its transits your privacy and soul sector early into the day, dear Cancer, and this can bring the need/desire for some level of anonymity or withdrawal. This short transit precedes the Moon’s ingress into your own sign, which will occur on the morning of the 31st, and is a time for healing, renewing, and refreshing yourself emotionally. It’s a fine time to consider ways to make improvements to your life, particularly by putting an end to those things that no longer serve you well, and this can have to do with attitudes that are keeping you from enjoying your life more fully. Circumstances may be such that you are better off functioning behind the scenes just for now. Old feelings can come to light now, and this is the first step to healing. Watch for guilt – remind yourself that you are entitled to some time off. There is no need to speak about matters that you are still trying to wrap your own mind around. Others will simply have to wait!

Leo

You are inclined to seek out open and happy associations today, dear Leo, with the Moon moving into your social sector early into the day. There may be some sensitivity in your interactions now, but you may be able to use this to treat others as you’d like to be treated. Helping someone out could be a real boost now. Surround yourself with people and to let things flow rather than force any issues. There is good energy for creative handling of money or talents, and nice motivation to give form to and share some of your ideas or creative output. You are willing to work hard at perfecting a project today.

Virgo

The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart early today, dear Virgo, and this can bring your attention to your more worldly concerns, career, responsibilities, and others’ expectations of you in general. It can be a little difficult to handle all that you want to in these areas, as you can be called in many different directions now. It might be wise to let go of any unreasonable expectations of yourself in order to spread yourself out in a healthy way today. As well, this can be an excellent day for organizing or otherwise bringing more structure to the home. You are motivated to find solutions to problems in your domestic world or with family, and it can be very worthwhile to pour some of your energy in this direction.

Libra

The Moon’s move into your sector of spirit and expansion is a pleasant one, dear Libra, and can feel as if you’re emerging into the light. It’s a good time for looking ahead. Sometimes when the Moon is here we can be a little restless and hard to satisfy. With the Moon’s challenging aspects to Saturn and Neptune today, this is a real possibility. However, if you resolve to dream big and keep your feet on the ground, you’ll be in a good place. Answer your inner calling to put some adventure back into your life even in the smallest of ways, by reading something new or taking a different route home, for example. Routine can feel especially stifling today.

Scorpio

This is a strong time for your friendships and group associations, dear Scorpio. It’s also good for competitions and creative efforts. You are shining in these areas all week. You’re also likely to come up with some rewarding and exciting new ideas for future projects and endeavors. The Moon moves into your solar eighth house early into the day, turning some of your attention inward, however. This is a good day for observation, although the Moon’s challenging aspects with Saturn and Neptune can point to some ups and downs as you try to make sense of something that is hard to define at the moment. You might choose to work on organizing your finances today. Getting a better sense of where you’re at with resources can be comforting.

Sagittarius

Saturn in your sign is forming a creative connection with energetic Mars, dear Sagittarius, making it a good time to apply yourself to a project that’s important to you, particularly related to career and life path goals. You might also benefit from drawing up plans or lists that help you feel a little more organized. There is a real talent for getting to the essentials or to your priorities now. You can be especially hard-working today, although your social life can be somewhat distracting. The Moon has now moved into your partnership sector, and you can be quite relationship-focused as well today.

Capricorn

The Moon moves into your detail-oriented solar sixth house early into the day, dear Capricorn, stimulating your need to order your daily life in some significant manner for a couple of days. You may need to combat a tendency to zone out at times today, although if you play your cards well, you may be able to inject some imagination into what you’re doing in order to steady your focus. You get help from a creative aspect between your ruler, Saturn, and energetic Mars forming today. You can come up with some clever solutions to practical problems. This influence also adds some extra oomph to your personal appeal.

Aquarius

The Moon moves into harmony with your sign early today, dear Aquarius, and now transits your solar fifth house. You may be turning to creative outlets for expressing yourself. You want to stand out now, although you may need to underplay this a little with friends or groups in order to keep everything running smoothly. This can be a strong time, in fact, for doing some group or team work. You may be taking the lead in some way, and others tend to support your ideas and goals. Be sure to make some time for entertainment or hobbies today. Your appeal is strong and you could be getting some special romantic attention now.

Pisces

The Moon’s move into your soul sector early today can be a welcome influence, dear Pisces, particularly if you’ve been feeling a little overworked or overstimulated. It’s a good time for reconnecting with your inner world or family, although part of you could be fighting this urge if you’re called to duty in other areas of life, which is quite possible now! The best solution is to try to balance things out a little. In fact, you can find that once you begin on a project, particularly if you’re paired up with someone to get things done, you can really get going on it. Great ideas can come through a meeting of the minds, so while you should certainly attend to your need for a little more comfort and familiarity in your life, don’t pass up an opportunity to connect with someone you care about.

Custom Made Magick for Thursday

Well, let’s see … abundance, prosperity, and good health has been our focus for this day. Now how about a little more information and ideas for working practical magick with one of our fascinating featured deities of the day?

Juno was the Queen of Heaven. As the matriarch of the gods, she guarded over women in every aspect of their lives. Juno was thought to have renewed her virginity every year. Similar to other goddess stories, Juno was a triple goddess-a virgin who belonged to no one; a mother and woman in the prime of her life, sexual and mature; and also a crone, powerful, wise, and sometimes vengeful (as she made her husband’s many mistresses’ lives either fairly unhappy or short).

There are references to an early all-female triad of goddesses known as the Capitoline Triad. This triad consisted of Juventas, Juno, and Minerva. To the Greeks, they would have been known as Hebe, Hera, and Hecate. Ultimately the triad became Juno, Minerva, and the male Jupiter. Jupiter, another of Thursday’s gods, was Juno’s consort.

As mentioned earlier, Juno, in her aspect as Juno Moneta, was the patron and protector of the Roman mint. The coins produced at her temples were blessed by Juno and imbued with her powers of abundance and prosperity. In another of her aspects as Juno Augusta, Juno was the goddess of an abundant harvest.

In addition, another of Juno’s magickal correspondences is the semiprecious stone malachite. Malachite is a beautiful green-banded stone that was also called the “peacock stone” in Italy. The peacock was a sacred animal of Juno’s, and the magickal energies of malachite encourage health and prosperity.

Thursday’s Must Dos

 

Try wearing some honeysuckle-scented perfume to encourage prosperity. Bewitch someone by wearing deep royal blue or brighten up a dreary day by wearing lucky, prosperity-drawing green. Brew up a pot of mint tea to help increase your cash flow. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to an unscented candle to encourage some fast cash. Bake up a loaf of wheat bread for the family, and celebrate abundance and be thankful for all that you have.

Conjure up a witchy craft and create a philter or two for your magickal needs. Work with the deities and the magickal plants corresponding with Thursday.

How did the energies of the plants of Jupiter enhance your magick? What did you learn by working with Juno, Jove, or Zeus? The truth is that by adding these new techniques and information into your spellcasting repertoire, you will indeed advance your skills, thereby moving up in the ranks to become a more adept magickal practitioner

Just by believing in yourself and working toward creating abundance, health, and prosperity, you have already begun to transform your outlook on life. Put your game face on; think positively. Work with Thor for perseverance and courage, and apply those qualities to your own prosperity spells and healing witchery. Break out the tarot cards; How could you incorporate that symbolism into other spells of your own design?

Use your imagination, check Thursday’s correspondence list, and see what other bewitching things you can conjure up for prosperity magick all by yourself. Call on the gods and goddess of Thursday and bring some positive change, abundance, health, and prosperity into your life!

Thursday’s Witchery

 

Today is the day for prosperity work of all kinds. It can also be used for healing work, whether that is a physical healing of an illness or an emotional healing. Also remember that you have to follow up your healing work and prosperity magick and physical action.

I can’t tell you the number of times I have met new witches who complain to me that their prosperity spell or “I need a better job” spell did not work as they expected. They’ll ramble on and on about how much time and money they spent working their magick….but, alas, they had no glorious manifestion of wealth or fabulous job that suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in their laps.

Then, when I gently ask them, “Did you enchant your resume or application when you filled it out? Did you do a little confidence-boosting spellwork when you went to apply for the job or went to the interview?” typically they give me a blank, confused stare.

Nine times out of ten, their response is, “You mean I have to go out and actually look for the job too?” Um, yes, my dear, you certainly do. Magick follows the path of least resistance, which means it’s going to manifest along the simplest, quickest route. Get out there and hit the pavement. See what you can find. Times are tough and competition for good jobs is fierce, so you need whatever edge you can get. For folks like us, we’re going to get the edge by using our magick and our spellcraft.

Thursdays have such a rich source of magick for us to draw upon that, honestly, the sky is the limit. This is the day associated with the gods of the sky and heavens, after all. Get to know these deities and add their wisdom and magick into your days

Thursday

Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

 

The name is derived from Old English Þūnresdæg and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretatio romana.

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.

The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter (♃Jupiter) is sometimes used to represent Thursday.

Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.

There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar – var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi – referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.

“Your tombstone stands among the rest;

neglected and alone

The name and date are chiseled out

on polished, marbled stone

It reaches out to all who care

It is too late to mourn

You did not know that I’d exist

You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you

in flesh, in blood, in bone.

Our blood contracts and beats a pulse

entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled

one hundred years ago

Spreads out among the ones you left

who would have loved you so.

I wonder if you lived and loved,

I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot,

and come to visit you.”

– Dear Ancestor
