Shuffling the Cards, Your Past Present & Future Reading for November 23

Shuffling the Cards, Your Past Present & Future Reading for November 23

 
Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning.

The Believer

The Believer represents Faith and the realization that you have an important place in the workings of the Universe. Although The Believer may not always understand why things are the way they are, they none-the-less feel an underlying cosmic rhythm which is moving events in a direction that is good. The Believer rejoices in their celestial role, because they realize their life has purpose on a grand scale.

 

 

 
Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.

Alturism

Altruism denotes the noble act of giving to those in need without the expectation of a return. The act of giving has been seen as one of humankind’s greatest attributes throughout history. It is honored in nearly every culture. To give is a gift to both those who receive and those who give. Giving is usually associated with addressing the material needs of others, but the gift given can take many forms such as wisdom or protection or simply a shoulder to cry on.

 

 

 

Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.

Solitude

Solitude is represented by a single person standing at the end of a boardwalk staring out at a vast, empty panorama. They are truly alone, but may not feel loneliness. They are at a place in their life where the need to withdraw from the our secular world is strong, because their focus should be on their inner self, their morality, and their dreams. The view before them is empty, but it is a canvas on which they may paint their future–a future restricted only by the size of their imagination and courage. For them Solitude is a choice. They chose to take the walkway that distances them from the rest of us. It is also a choice that can be undone. Just as they chose to take a path that leads them away from us, they may choose to turn around and come back at anytime.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for November 23 is The Golden Egg

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Golden Egg


The Golden Egg denotes the opportunity for substantial material gains. However, the Golden Egg is also a reminder that unmanaged greed ensures what gains are made will be lost.

As a daily card, The Golden Egg suggest that the prospects for you to increase your financial wealth are very strong today. Seize whatever opportunities come your way, but don’t ride them too long or you may find yourself no better off than you were before they came along.

Your Daily Witches Rune for November 23 is The Blank Rune

Aeon


Aeon deals with our journey and constant transformation through time. It denotes both endings and beginnings, our ability to redeem ourselves through action, and hope for the future.

Additional information about Today’s Rune

 

ðagaz : day

Phonetic equivalent: d (pronounced as ‘th’, as in ‘this’)

 

DIVINATORY MEANINGS:
happiness, success, activity, a fulfilling lifestyle, satisfaction

 

MAGICAL USES:
to bring a positive outcome

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:
Sunna, Baldr, Nerthus, Yggdrasil

 

ANALYSIS:
This rune effectively marks the end of the third aett, leaving only oþila to complete the cycle. As in the previous two aetts, ðagaz concludes the third with light and hope. However, while wunjo represented earthly glories and the sun, heavenly power, the day brings these two realms together, bringing the more abstract light and power of sowulo ‘down to earth’ and applying it to our everyday lives.The shape of the rune itself denotes this kind of interconnection. It is reminiscent of gebo, with its balance of masculine, feminine and the four elements, but ðagaz makes further connections to the celestial and the realm of nature.
Like inguz, it symbolizes harmony with one’s environment. but again takes it a step further, implying a harmonious relationship with the spiritual environment as well. It is a bringing together of all six cardinal points – the four compass directions, the celestial realm above us where the Gods are thought to dwell; and that which is below – all the spirits of the earth and of nature. All of these things are balanced and integrated through ðagaz and brought into our daily lives.

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

Judgement

Judgment embodies those forces which require us to be accountable for our actions. With Judgment truths are revealed, mysteries are unraveled and responsibility is assigned. Judgment unveils outcomes and marks the ends of things. While it is a time to properly place guilt, it is also a time for atonement and forgiveness. Ultimately the process of Judgment should lead to freedom from errors made in the past and a fresh start with a clean slate. To that end Judgment actually promises the start of a new journey on which we can apply what we have learned from our past.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, November 23rd

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

You can be feeling up and down today, dear Aries, as you entertain big dreams and something brings you back down to earth. Matters related to education, publishing, the law, or travel may demand your attention, or you could be feeling pressure to make a decision or commitment, yet unprepared for it. Plans may require fine-tuning. General disarray or a lack of clear routine can disrupt your flow or ability to concentrate on your priorities. You cannot resolve this in one day, but you can take some steps to bring a little more order to your life and resolve to do more going forward, one step at a time. Otherwise you run the risk of feeling overwhelmed, which makes you even less productive. This is not the best day for healthy relating patterns, so you may need to seriously consider taking a bit of personal space. Try to muster up patience, and avoid putting too much pressure on yourself.

Taurus

Taurus

With Mercury in conjunction with Saturn today, dear Taurus, there can be a strong desire to start fresh on the level of organization and order in your life. However, clarity can be difficult to come by right now, as much as you’d love it. There may be news or worries about financial matters, but not necessarily solid answers or solutions to problems just for now. Matters need some more thought, so try to take some of the pressure off. If you’ve been flippant or neglectful with friends or a love relationship, you could be feeling this creeping up on you now. Someone might want a commitment from you, but if you’re not ready, take more time. Boundaries blur, and confusing circumstances are possible as a result. A relationship dilemma is possible now. Watch that friendships don’t dissolve through unintentional neglect. Keep your mind on the task at hand as much as possible, and aim to sort out social problems slowly but surely, one step at a time.

Gemini

Gemini

Relationships can be draining right now, dear Gemini, as there can be quite a push to make a decision, yet confused feelings or confusing signals that leave you on the fence. For some of you, there can be nice progress in a counseling relationship or a mental change in direction with a partner. Nevertheless, a sense that you’re not entirely on solid ground may undermine feelings of progress just for now. If a plan or dream no longer seems feasible, try not to be discouraged, as it may in fact simply need some adjustments. Delays may be blessings in disguise. Today, try not to make final conclusions or decisions based solely on what you’re observing today, as perceptions can swing away from reality, either positively or negatively – or both! Also keep in mind that others may not be revealing the whole story. A general lack of direction in your life is temporary, but it might also be interfering with healthy relationships with others now. Aim to take steps to clean up waste or to put a little more order into your life, one day at a time. The Moon is in your privacy sector all day, and this can point to a need for some solitude or pulling back from demanding situations.

Cancer

Cancer

You may feel a powerful drive, or need, to take care of business today, dear Cancer, or to attend to a health, work, or wellness matter. However, distractions can be plenty, particularly if you’ve been questioning your general direction or if you’ve been neglecting your need for experiences beyond everyday, mundane chores. Aim to find a better balance between attention to the here-and-now and to your spiritual needs. You may not know where you’re headed exactly, but it’s nevertheless important to take care of your responsibilities while you find yourself and uncover your direction. There can be a general fog surrounding you such that you might easily misplace items or misjudge time, so take extra care with valuables, appointments, and priorities. Life is not as complicated as it appears now. Clear your mind and schedule as much as possible once you’ve handled your priorities. Enjoy and make use of the support of friends and networks.

Leo

Leo

Mercury, planet of the mind, meets with serious Saturn today, dear Leo, and you may be taking something especially serious, particularly related to love and creative affairs. You could be feeling some pressure to make a decision or commitment, but there are doubts in the mix and these shouldn’t be ignored. If your prospects seem less realizable or glamorous than you had imagined them, consider working on changes and edits. Examine what it is that is preventing you from enjoying yourself. If you’ve been a little neglectful with financial matters, you could be feeling limited or restricted with current projects. It’s not easy to get clarification from others, particularly in your relationships, just for the time being, and important conclusions or decisions should probably wait until you have more information. Avoid taking on more, and concentrate on simplifying things for yourself so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. Living without a firm direction is a temporary thing and is not as bad as it sounds. In fact, with a little time, you’re likely to discover what is truly important and meaningful to you.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Life may seem more complicated than it is right now, dear Virgo, so make things as simple as possible for yourself so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. You may have been spending a lot of time and energy on a relationship or on tending to others, and recognize now and this week that responsibilities to home and family require your undivided attention. You may need to face the music if you’ve been ignoring problems in your life. Alternatively, disappointments in your relationships can feel draining, while your attention to other matters is needed. This could be a day in which you feel a little let down. If someone is pushing for an answer or commitment from you, let them know that you need more time. Thinking is a little foggy, as much as you want to see things clearly. Allow for some level of free form today, and aim to enjoy creative activities. Avoid big purchases, particularly those that involve borrowing from your future on credit. Take the pressure off and focus on priorities, one step at a time. The Moon in your adventure sector all day helps you to see the bigger picture.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

There could be some pressure to make a decision today, dear Libra, but this can leave you feeling drained. You could be wishing you had tidied up recent disorder in your life or chaotic schedules sooner, as it would give you more leeway under times of pressure or stress. If you’re not ready to face facts, you can find that your mind wanders at crucial moments. If you’re able to swing it, try to take a light schedule and look for healthy escapes from the usual routine. There is stop and go energy with you today, as well as a tendency to doubt yourself. Energy levels may be below par, but this could also be a signal that you are not as sure as you think you are when it comes to pursuing your desires and pushing your plans forward. Keep things simple so that you don’t feel overwhelmed today, and avoid roundabout ways for getting to where you want to go.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

With Mercury and Saturn coming together in your solar second house today, dear Scorpio, you could feel the need to get serious about money or business affairs, or you could be pressured to make a decision. Perhaps you face the realization that a project will require more of your time and energy than you had estimated. Be realistic, but not pessimistic. You might need to deal with recent excesses or circumstances make you aware of areas of your life that you have neglected or put too much of your energy into without results. Take a sudden lack of energy or delay as a sign that your plans need refining. There can be a frustrating either/or energy to the day that could have you feeling that life is a whole lot more complicated than it actually is. Try not to feel overwhelmed, as more than likely, you’ll have a lot of time to work through imbalances in your life. Aim to handle one thing at a time, one step at a time. You’re likely to find that sharing the load works best now.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

You could be feeling a little deflated today and to some degree this week, dear Sagittarius, as certain plans or dreams may not seem quite as realizable, or people in your life don’t seem to be fully in your corner. Keep in mind that your dreams are likely very much still possible – they simply need some refinement. Not everyone is catching on to your needs, and it’s not the ideal day for over the top emotions or for cutting corners. However, you could discover that you can manage things quite fine on your own right now, and you may very well find different outlets for release or escape that are satisfying. People may lean on your for support now. While you should be especially careful that your words are not misconstrued today, try your hand at something creative. You are a person who appreciates direct and straightforward interactions, and today, this may be hard to come by. Allow yourself the extra rest you need, if you are able.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

Your mind can take you between the past and the future, and rarely focused on the present today, dear Capricorn. Guilt and worry are the culprits, but they take away from the moment. In moderation, both things are useful if they prompt you to make changes, so aim to take a lesson and avoid wasteful mindsets. Mercury aligns with your ruler, Saturn, and this generally helps you get organized and consider priorities. However, today, Mercury also forms a challenging aspect with Neptune, causing you to see-saw emotionally or mentally. Be clearer than usual in any business or even personal communications early today, or you might find yourself committed to something you don’t intend or later regret. Try not to focus too much on what you’re lacking, and instead consider ways to adjust your plans or goals in order to gain a stronger feeling of direction and meaning. This can’t happen all in one day, so take the pressure off, but do something small to make yourself feel more secure.

Aquarius

Aquarius

Mercury and Saturn align in your sector of friends, hopes, and dreams today, dear Aquarius, and you may need to have a serious “think” about any of these things, or you could feel some pressure to make a decision or commitment. However much you would like to see things clearly, a Mercury-Neptune square is also active now, and your thinking can see-saw from optimistic to pessimistic. If there has been some neglect or wastefulness with money, you could be feeling the pinch and wondering if you can swing certain plans. Be particularly vigilant when it comes to spending or lending, and watch what’s communicated with a friend or in your network, as things can be too easily misconstrued today. Indecision about where you are going is likely now, but while some dreams or plans may not seem as realizable as they once did, in all likelihood, they simply need some adjustments. Right now, you could be feeling a little drained or overwhelmed, but life is far less complicated than it appears in your mind right now. Good energy is with you for pulling back and spending time with yourself or with familiar people. This is a time when sticking with relatively familiar routines can be comforting.

Pisces

Pisces

What you communicate today could have more impact than usual, dear Pisces, but there can be some misunderstandings, so it’s better to take extra care with what you say or put off important conversations. As much as you’d like to, or need to, get your facts straight, it can be difficult to see things clearly. You’re more inclined to swing between imagining what you’d like to be true and imagining the worst. It will be important to rephrase or add details if you see that you’re not being understood, instead of brooding or questioning whether others are truly interested in your needs. You could find that you are attracting hangers-on or people who seem to expect a lot from you, and this can be overwhelming and draining. Drawing some boundaries may be necessary. Work might also demand more of you than you feel you can muster up now, particularly as you may be a little confused about your general direction for now. Focus on simplifying rather than taking on more tasks or responsibilities. Finding a dream to latch onto can take a bit of time, so give yourself some! Try to find a better balance between personal needs and responsibilities.

If You Were Born Today, November 23

You are interested in knowing the truth, and you spend much of your life, especially your later years, searching for it. A humanitarian, you have an unmistakably idealistic nature. Freedom of thought (and of movement!) are important to you. Your multiple interests stimulate you to branch out into many directions. You need to be careful not to scatter your energies. Impulsiveness is both a liability and strength, as courage is behind it, but when you set your sights on new horizons, you might be leaving behind something worthwhile!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, November 23rd

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

There can be some emotional impulsiveness to deal with today, dear Aries, and while this sometimes does work in your favor, it has mixed results if you are reacting rather than acting from your heart. Relationships can be touch and go. Past mistakes or wrongs can figure strongly in your mind. Your need for freedom and independence these days is so strong, it may be provoking some tension right now. Find ways to seek more of what you want from your life while also taking care of the feelings of people you hold dear. Later today, you are likely to be feeling pleasantly effective, competent, and ambitious. You are determined, thinking in the long term, and more tuned in to important, practical details.

Taurus

Taurus

You can feel on edge if anyone seems to be trying to pin you down or if you feel caged in, dear Taurus. Avoid throwing something, or someone, away in a fit of temper, as this feeling is very likely to blow over. Instead, think up new ways to feel free, but to meet your responsibilities as well. People may seem to be quick on the trigger and emotionally reactive. This energy can be used constructively if you need a push to take action on an important matter. Tonight, feelings tend to settle down a little and good energy is with you for tackling a project. Expressing patience and tolerance is important now now for maximum benefit. Productivity is excellent right now.

Gemini

Gemini

You may not know whether you want to be close to someone or prefer some space today, dear Gemini. Feelings can be up and down. Alternatively, friends and lovers may be unreliable or flighty now. You could be feeling pressured or sense that someone wants a little more from you than you’re comfortable giving. Expect the unexpected today and avoid making quick decisions about matters that require more thought and consideration. If you’re feeling caged in, look for non-disruptive ways to enjoy a sense of being free and independent. Later today, there is steadier energy with you, as well as a feeling that you need more stability. There can be an agreement that comforts you now.

Cancer

Cancer

The day’s energies can stir up restlessness, dear Cancer, particularly if you feel restricted. The need for some space and leeway is prominent in relationships, particularly with family, but also in relationships on practically all levels, but it’s important to take this freedom in a mature way for best results. Displays and reactions are real possibilities as Venus and Uranus face off, pulling us in two entirely different ways – one towards comfort and partnering, and the other towards independence and freedom of expression. If someone is trying to get a commitment or definite answer out of you, and you don’t totally feel certain about it, defer it to a better time. Later today, emotions tend to settle and practical priorities tend to take precedence. You can be very productive now.

Leo

Leo

With Venus and Uranus at a face-off today, dear Leo, it’s better to avoid jumping to conclusions or making dramatic stands until you make better sense out of feelings that emerge now. There is some volatility to the day, as well as a tendency for you to clash with others when it comes to opinions and ideas, or for plans to go awry. Transportation and communication channels may not be reliable right now. You may be excited to start a new project or ready to throw an old one out, but watch that this is not only a whim of the moment. In other words, it’s fine to explore feelings that come on suddenly, but it may be best to wait when it comes to acting upon them. Tonight is strong for tuning in to practical goals and priorities. You may be feeling considerably more settled and goal-oriented.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

The desire for beautiful things or certain possessions that you’ve been considering is stronger now with Venus in your solar second house these days, dear Virgo. Today, you might find someone opposes you or news comes in that forces you to change your goals. Alternatively, some of you could make an impulsive purchase or decision. However, the best way to use the energy of the day constructively is to find a new way to handle a financial matter. There could also be a surprise in the intimacy department. The trick is to think outside of the box now, as anything too ordinary or mundane will only serve to frustrate now. Later today, you’re more likely to think before acting, and less prone to falling for a whim of the moment. It’s a good time to organize, particularly around the home.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

This is a day when relationships require more spontaneity or freedom, dear Libra, but there could be some tensions stirred up. A close friend or partner could be reactive or rebellious, or might introduce a surprise into your life today. A sense of moving forward could emerge out of a bit of chaos. There can be an unusual attraction or desire that comes on suddenly. There is a practical and patient energy to the later part of the day, and you may be in the position to take the lead in an important matter. You are acting and communicating with a little more authority, and you could find yourself in the position to guide or teach.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

People may not be especially reliable in your life today, dear Scorpio, and something may occur that has you questioning a relationship or your feelings about a matter. Changes in schedule might also throw you off now. When Uranus is strong and challenging as it is today, changes and unpredictability can be frustrating, but they can also set you on a new train of thought or a new path that breaks you out of a rut. Later today, you crave some method after the madness, and it’s a great time to get some things done, particularly if it’s about a behind the scenes project or if you have the chance to work without distractions.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

Uranus is strong and challenging today, dear Sagittarius, and the status quo can be interrupted, dear Sagittarius, particularly on social or creative levels. There can be some unreliability to deal with, as well as distractions or changes of heart, but feelings that emerge today may be a symptom of the need for change. Identify which areas of your life have become too routine or predictable, and that are in need of an update or adjustment. Avoid too-quick decisions based on whims of the moment. Later today, emotions settle and you crave some order. This is a very practical time when you can have a strong desire to produce. Others might want your advice now.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

Routine or staid elements of your life are harder today, dear Capricorn. There is part of you that is itching for a change of pace, but if you don’t recognize this within you, you might end up stirring up conflict without really scratching the surface of your discontent. Others’ mood swings or changes in plans can be something you’re managing today as well. Try to identify what’s making you feel restless and make a small change, as this can be empowering. You may find it quite liberating to put something behind you or to mix up your routine in creative ways. Later today, moods stabilize considerably and you’re likely to feel very much in charge. This is a time when you can work tirelessly once you find a channel for your considerable energy.

Aquarius

Aquarius

It can be quite difficult to focus today, dear Aquarius, as your attention span may be short, and the same might be said of your patience. News can come in or there may be a change of plans that sets you on a new train of thought or even a new path. Prioritize early in the day so that you can be better prepared for a hectic pace, but also aim to keep an open mind. Sometimes a little change can bring in fresh air and point you in the direction of new interests. Spending time with family or in familiar, safe settings as the day progresses is likely to be especially comforting. There is also very good energy for bringing a little more order and clarity into your life later today.

Pisces

Pisces

There can be disruptions today that hint at the need to throw away old attitudes and habits, dear Pisces, that have been limiting your growth. You might even decide to get rid of material things or clutter in your environment in order to help the process along. You are a little more willing to take some personal and creative risks, but when it comes to money today, you might be better off keeping a lid on impulsive moves. Whims and sudden desires may be the symptom of a need for change in some area of your life. Avoid quick-fix solutions. Relationships might require extra understanding or people in your life need a bit of space today. As the day progresses, good energy is with you for focusing on a project that’s important to you.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 23rd

 

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 23rd

 

 

  • General Horoscope

    Romance is unpredictable this week! On Monday, Venus and Uranus will oppose one another, offering up a heady dose of “expect the unexpected.” While this can certainly be exciting, it’ll also be fleeting, so enjoy it while you can. The cosmic weather quickly becomes more and more nebulous as the week wears on. Wednesday’s Full Moon in Gemini is laden with confusing communication potential that gets extra emotional. Avoid decisions about love, or important conversations with your mate.

 


 

  • Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19

    You certainly win the prize this week for the most interesting love life award. Whether or not that is a prize you’ll actually want however, is debatable. Venus, now in your partnership sector, promises harmony and overall good vibes between you and your mate. On Monday however, you’re ready to shake things up because “harmonious” to you is, well, boring. Be careful. Whatever excitement you stir up might end up being way more than you bargained for.

 


 

  • Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20

    Sudden changes in your love life might have an impact on your health this week. If you’re feeling unsettled about where a relationship is headed, you might internalize it to the point where you create or exacerbate an illness. This could be physical, but it might also be related to mental anxiety. Do what you can to remain unruffled in the face of romantic uncertainty. Whatever curveball is thrown your way is not worth getting sick over. Plus, it’s temporary.

 


 

  • Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20

    Ups and downs in matters of the heart are par for the course, but this week it might be too much to handle. A surprise from your lover on Monday might not be as exciting as intended. In fact, you might feel more uncertain about the stability in your romance as the week wears on. A Full Moon in your sign on Wednesday amps up your sensitivity. Then, Saturn gets out of hand Thursday through Sunday, so if you’re married, expect a frustrating situation you can’t control.

 


 

  • Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22

    Unexpected developments in your career and home life might rattle your love life by default. The truth is, you might feel pulled in so many different directions this week that it’ll be difficult to enjoy spending quality time with your sweetheart. Make peace with the fact that sometimes in our hectic lives there’s just no room for romance. If you’re married, there may be a focus on your mate’s health. Encourage your spouse to stop neglecting any doctor’s appointments.

 


 

  • Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22

    Sometimes, love is hard. Sometimes, it even hurts. And sometimes, it confuses us to no end. This week Leo, you might get all of the above. Saturn, the planet of restriction and lessons, is currently touring your romance sector, making matters of the heart a serious thing. A slew of tense aspects might lead to you throwing up your hands in the air and swearing off love altogether. Don’t despair, it will get better.

 


 

  • Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22

    Home and family matters will be tense this week, and instead of you and your partner sticking together during the trouble, you may feel as if you can’t count on each other at all. If this happens, realize that the situation is likely to be a draining one for all involved and cut each other some slack. We all deal with stress in different ways. While that may not comfort you, it is reality. Rest assured, eventually, you’ll find your way to each other’s arms.

 


 

  • Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22

    This week, it’s possible that your partner will pull a stunt that is so out of character, you’re left wondering who, exactly, you’re really with. Do your best to roll with the punches since there’s a good possibility that whatever is happening, it’ll be a short lived phase. Also: The tighter you try to hold on to a relationship, the faster it’ll slip through your fingers. Give your mate breathing room. And take a time out for yourself while you’re at it.

 


 

  • Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21

    A romance might leave you feeling less confident this week. If you’re dating someone new, it’s possible that you’ll give into the voice in your head that says you can’t really trust the person you’re with. Even if he or she hasn’t given you a valid reason to feel this way, you might struggle with feelings of confusion and suspicion. Before you jump to conclusions, take a step back and consider whether or not your insecurities are being triggered. Most likely they are.

 


 

  • Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21

    Relationship matters will be a central focus this week. On Monday, if you’re single, it’s possible that you’ll meet someone extra sexy in the most unexpected way. Don’t have any expectations; instead, live in the moment and see where it goes! If you’re partnered up, you and your mate will experience an emotional turning point in your relationship this Wednesday. You might feel pressured to make an immediate decision but at the same time, you may be uncertain. Go with your feelings.

 


 

  • Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19

    You might encounter unexpected opposition from one of your parents, or an authority figure in your family, about your personal life. While you will feel shocked about how this relative expresses his or her opinion so abruptly, try not to allow this to influence the choices you make in love. Alternatively, if you’re dating someone and the conversation about moving in together or meeting each other’s family comes up, do your best to push it off until next week.

 


 

  • Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18

    Romance could be fulfilling this week, but you’ll need to be extra careful when it comes to how you handle communication. On Monday it’s possible that you’ll say something to your lover without thinking it through, only to regret it later. Or, you might make a decision about your love life in haste, only to change your mind after it’s too late. Wednesday’s Full Moon will fall in your true love sector. Express the feelings you have for someone special clearly, and honestly.

 


 

  • Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20

    You might feel a ton of pressure from your boss this week. At the same time, it’s possible that you’ll hear emotionally charged news from a relative. With these situations consuming your attention, there might be little time or energy for romance. If you’re married or in a relationship, be aware of a rash decision you or your partner might make about money. Don’t do anything without discussing it with each other first.

The Witches Magick for the 23rd Day of the Snow Moon – Snow Faery Basket Spell

Wiccan Magic

SNOW MOON FAERY BASKET

 

Draw the favors and gifts of the fairies to you with this faery basket.

You will need a large basket, moss, a snow globe, silk flowers, buttons, thimbles, a small wind chime, a seashell, a feather, a tiny mirror, crystals and white stones found in nature, and a fairy figurine( s). Amy Brown’s Fairy Devas are my favorite figurines.

At midnight, put this faery basket together. Line the basket with moss, and then put the items in the basket in a decorative way. For example, the mirror becomes a small reflective pool, the seashell a birdbath, the buttons stepping stones, and the thimbles faery caps. The faery figurine( s) gazes into the snowglobe, sitting among the silk flowers. As you decorate the basket, sing a favorite uplifting song or turn on some favorite tunes and sing along. Tie the wind chime onto the basket handle so that it dangles down and chimes. Take a deep breath in and out, hold the basket in your hands, merge with the divine faeries, and say:

Kind and helpful faeries, I offer you this gift

And respectfully ask you to share your magic with me

Kind and helpful faeries, my divine friends

Please bestow your beneficial favors upon me

By the blessed fae, blessed be!

Put the faery basket just inside your front door to draw the kind and helpful faeries into your home. Remember that the faeries also like bits of leftover food, milk, beer, juice and honey. Offer these to the faeries by setting them outdoors in your garden. Plant bulbs and flowers in your yard, and the faeries will grant you divine favors and gifts year after year.

Crystal & Herb Spell – A Grounding and Centering Jar

Blessed Be

Crystal & Herb Spell – A Grounding and Centering Jar

 

Joining crystals with sacred herbs in spellwork is a great way to amplify the power of each of these Earth-given magical tools.

 

A Grounding and Centering Jar

 

After a busy day, it can seem hard to take the time to ground and center enough to perform successful spellwork. Many a Witch has put off spellwork that would be beneficial simply because getting in the right frame of mind seems like so much work!

This spellcraft can become something of a “shortcut,” helping you get to a place of calm and quiet more quickly.

Try meditating with it in your hands for a few moments before preparing for magical work, or anytime you just need a “time out” during your day.

Of course, you must be well grounded and centered when creating and blessing the jar in order for it to continue to give that grounding energy back to you!

You will need:

1 clear glass empty spice jar (or other small jar) with lid

1 tablespoon dried sage

1 tablespoon dried lavender

1 tablespoon dried sandalwood or patchouli

3 pieces of hematite

Place each herb in the mortar and pestle, affirming with each that its purpose is to ground and center you. You can say something like:

“Sage, thank you for grounding and centering me from within this jar.

Blessed Be.”

Do the same with the lavender and the sandalwood or patchouli.

Gently mix the herbs together, and pour them into the jar.

Then, sit and hold the hematite in the palms of your hands and spend several minutes deepening your sense of being grounded and centered.

Place them gently in the jar and close the lid.

Hold the jar in your hands and say:

From now on, this jar returns me to the Earth and to my center.

Blessed Be.”

You may wish to keep the jar on your altar or in your sacred space.

For extra help with grounding and centering, remove the lid from time to time and inhale the scent of the herbs.

Tidbits On Crystals – Jet & Amber

 

 

Traditionally, Witch’s necklaces were often made from a combination of jet and amber. Although they are usually listed with gemstones, neither of them is actually a stone.

Jet is fossilized wood and amber is fossilized resin. They are both very, very old, which may be part of their mystique. In fact, amber is said to be the oldest form of adornment worn by humans, and beads made out of the resin have been found in graves going back as far as 8000 BCE.

Amber is a clear yellowy orange, and jet is a glossy black. Together, they represent the god and goddess, and they are reputed to increase the magickal power of the wearer. They are both used to absorb negativity and increase health.

Incorporating Crystals into Your Life

So you’ve acquired a new crystal, and cleaned, cleared, and charged it.

Now what?

It’s very unlikely to just start working magic in your life without any effort on your part.

In order to learn to use the energy of this gift from the Earth, you need to get acquainted with it. This can be accomplished through a variety of different practices. Start where your intuition tells you to, and don’t be afraid to experiment.

After awhile, you’ll develop your own ways of relating to your crystals and stones, and they will become simply part of your daily life.

The first way of getting to know your crystal is to simply hold it in your hands, as you may have done when selecting it from the shop. Sit with it for a few minutes with your eyes closed, and just notice the sensations in your body and mind as they arise. If you have a regular meditation practice, incorporate crystals into it by either holding them or placing them near you as you meditate. Some stones are particularly well-suited for meditation, such as ametrine and just about any variety of quartz. These stones can help you clear your mind as you strengthen your connection with them.

Another easy way to develop a relationship with your crystals is to place them strategically in your living space. Many Witches keep crystals on their altars or elsewhere in their sacred space, and you can also simply place them in areas of your home that feel energetically “flat” or are otherwise in need of “sprucing up.” You can find plenty of information on crystal placement using a feng shui approach, and/ or experiment on your own.

Some Witches prefer to keep their magical stones in a soft velvet or silk pouch, keeping them only for use in ritual and spellwork. This does keep the stones protected from exposure and any unwanted energy in their surrounding environment.

However, if you can, try to leave your crystals in plain view, at least for awhile after you’ve acquired them. The more you see them, the more you remember them, which helps you keep growing your connection with them.

You may still wish to keep a select few stones put away for spellwork only, but if you have none in your immediate environment, it can be easy to forget that you have any at all, which can lead to missed opportunities to enhance your life.

Finally, wear and carry your crystals as much as possible. Many crystal retailers sell wire pendants that you can place your favorite stone in, and of course many stones are available as jewelry in the first place.

You can also keep crystals and stones in your pockets, your purse, anywhere that keeps them close to your body at all times.

Be careful not to scratch them— many stones are actually quite softer than you might imagine, so avoid carrying stones in the same pocket as your keys or any other object tht can damage the surface. Cloth pouches are also handy for this reason, and are also usually available where crystals and stones are sold.

Celebrating 365 Days of Legends, Folklore and Spirituality for Nov. 23 – St. Clement

Blessed Be

23 November

St. Clement

 

St. Clement, the patron of blacksmiths and an aspect of the Norse wizard Wayland Smith, is honored on this day. Apparently ently of Jewish origin, he is traditionally considered as the third pope after St. Peter. Additionally, St. Clement was the patron of hatters. While fleeing from his prosecutors, his feet became blistered, and to ease the discomfort he placed wool between his feet and sandals. From the perspiration and pressure sure of his feet the wool became compressed and assumed a uniformly compact substance, which has since been designated as felt. In Rome it is said that he improved on the product to produce felt for hatters. On this day most Catholic countries, especially Ireland, hold festivals in his honor.
